I had heard that there once was a children's t.v. show in the UK a while back ago (The sixties, maybe?) that had characters on a ship with risque names. ("Master Bates", for example.) I don't know if this was a live action show, or a cartoon or puppet show. Does anyone recall this? Or is this just the stuff of legends?

I would prefer not to.

Without even clicking on the link, my superpowers tell me that it must refer to Cap'n Pugwash...

As an addition, my as-good-as-father-in-law often tells me about a friend he had in Australia who in the early days of children's TV ran a show with the catchline "See You Next Time", represented on set by "C U Next Time" (imagine that the big letters are REALLY big and the wee letters are REALLy wee). Legend? I have no idea - googling has failed me.

I want you to lay down your life, Perkins. We need a futile gesture at this stage. It will raise the whole tone of the war.
