Doubt very much that they'd get away with a couple of the names in Captain Pugwash today though Daktari ah,yes with Clarence the cross eyed lion

You want to google Captain Pugwash.....I used to like that programme as a youngster....I think you'll find the names your thinking of were made up and not the real characters 

For example....Your thinking...."Roger the the cabin boy".....his name was actually Tom.....
Also...your thinking "Master Bates" his name was actually Master Mate

Along with Andy Pandy there was also the Woodentops with Spot the dog and of course there were also Bill and Ben.Or[pre Thomas the tank engine??]there was Ivor the engine.

The Magic Roundabout with Dylan the stoned rabbit

The two before that were Four Feather Falls and Supercar.

Oh yes, and these with many of the others named were created by a genius, Gerry Anderson, MBE

..............and remember Torchy The Battery Boy?  That was also created by someone else, but Gerry Anderson, MBE was involved in the production

..............and remember Battery Torch Boy?  That was also created by Gerry Anderson, MBE

Torchy the battery boy to give him his proper title

If I remember correctly

You are right!  My memory at times plays tricks, and when I checked on Google there was the correct title

and Gerry Anderson did not create this one apparently, but he did produce the second series..........that was when I first saw/recognised his name as a 7 year old!

Blimey,the memories!The test card,the National Anthem at the end of the days programming[no 24hr tv back then]and of course watching the little white dot in the centre of the screen disappearing when you turned the tv off

Not forgetting Late call

Ricky Fultons's Last Call was a lot more chuckle worthy

Can anyone remember a series that ran on bbc1 for several years in the late sixties it was in black and white and was based around a pool surrounded by rocks. It was produced in an eastern European country possibly Rumania and the main characters were a girl, a giant gold fish and a dwarf, can anyone recall the name of this programme? sounds weird I know or did I dream it?
