My brother and I used to go the cinema on a Saturday morning and they'd run a series of shows with maybe a short film thrown in too.

One favourite show was "Chico Chico the Rainmaker", about the shrunken head of a witchdocter.

Brendan Chase - a fairly obscure one from about 1980 I think but I used to love that show. It was about 2 boys who ran away to live in the wild - ISTR there was some old wild man of the woods type character called Smokoe Joe in it too.

The Ghosts of Motley Hall.

That was a good show

'kin 'ell that took some doing!!

but aside from tulip spelling - Were the Tomorrow People the ones that "jaunted"?

Was one of the stars lead singer in Flame (??) "Why Must I be a Teenager in Love"
I think I remember my sister fancied him

I blame the keyboard, but yes they were the ones that "Jaunted" using a device that looked like a belt with a big chunky buckle one it iirc.

The Tommorow People. Proper SciFi for kids.

I fail to see how KP was wrong in saying Master Mates and Tom the Cabin Boy?

These were the real character names. Or did you both just see "Captain Pugwash" and assume that he would use the myth?

Exactly.
I know the myth, but deliberately used the correct names so one of you jokers could reply with the rude ones.

Captain Pugwash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Of course knowing my reputation on here I'm not surprised you all thought I was being smutty from the outset

Possibly before my time. Was that a few years before Dixon of Dock Green came out?

They were the test programmes used by John Logie Baird.

Anyone old enough to remember Hector's House and Follyfoot?
