Urban Myth.
No such characters ever existed in Captain Pugwash.
The Cabin Boy was Tom, the Seamen were Barnabas (replaced by Jonah in the later series) and Willy.

Nope. It's an Urban Myth that was originally published in the Guardian in 1991.

I distinctly remember Staines, also replaced ??????
Thank you ....yes I knew, and it also served as a mildly smutty attempt at humour.
Heard at the guard house - Guard challenges a man in civvies who replies "Wing Commander Cuming"! Guard - "Thanks mate, I'll keep an eye out for him!"....followed by a 'bring your hat' with the guard commander!

A serious point arises from a fairly trivial and rather silly matter here. In recent years some quite famous people have being going to prison on the strength of what people "distinctly remember" about events 30, 40 50 years ago. People's memories are notoriously faulty (I know mine is) as is jayteeto's apparently!
