This question has cropped up a number of times at work (and elsewhere).
I'm not sure if it's been answered in any of the discussions in this
news group.

Er, this may have been pointed out already, but some, if not all of the characters in Magic Roundabout are on Drugs! Zebedee was on speed, Ermintrude was on acid (remember the sugar lumps that made her see things?) Dylan was, of course a dopehead, and the others I've no idea. MR was made in the early seventies, when drug culture was still around (before re-emerging in the eighties).
Also, Captain Pugwash was rather dodgy as well. The characters:
Captain Pugwash himself;
Roger the cabin boy;
Seaman Stain(e?)s.
Any more I can't remember.
Hmm!
Jono.

How about Master Bates !

I didn't think Penelope the Spider was in the original. I've seen her only in
the new version shown on Channel 4 recently narrated by Nigel Planer.
Anyone know of any more characters from the new series?

The cabin boy was called Tom (I think Roger would have been a bit _too_ blatent
and not slipped through the net!) I think that there was also alleged to be a
character called Master Bates. However, the Grauniad printed an article with
the names Seaman Staines and Master Bates, and were eventually forced to print
an apology to John Ryan saying that they never existed in the series.
Pugwash's ship was called the "Black Pig". Hmm. Can't remember what Jake's ship
was called though.

I'm told by my mate dave, that there was also a 'Master Bates'

Completely untrue, I'm afraid. Hate to spoil an interesting story BUT
NO character such as "Seaman Staines" or "Master Bates" was ever part
of Pugwash - John Ryan recently won a libel action against some newspaper
or magazine that repeated the story.

Ho hum, `twas a long time ago. Has anybody seen any episodes of Pugwash on the telly recently? Since they re-ran MR, they may have well done the same with CP.
I don't get to watch too much Kids telly these days (lectures an' all that).
OK then, so what was Ivor the Engines driver called?
Jono.

The Guardian was the offender. Apparently around the time it was being
debunked in alt.folklore.urban.
Can't remember all the characters but the one that comes the nearest to
a dubious name is
Mister Mate.
Someone posted a complete and correct list of the the characters last week
to a.f.u.

Yes there was a Master Bates (although his name keeps changing,
sometimes it's 'Master Bate' and sometimes 'Master Mate'). There are
also other strange things to look out for in the episodes, some lines
are 'well dodgy', and there are strainge unrelates things in the
backgrouds (I remember once there was a treasure chest that they
discovered, and it had (for no good reason, not even mentioned) the
number 69 printed on it).

And Master Bates as well I suppose?
Before anyone agrees with me......
No! No! No! The Master Bates story has been shown to be a complete
fabrication, and The Guardian had to pay the creator of Capt. Pugwash
damages for printing the story in their Young Guardian section last year
sometime. As I remember, the characters were:
Capt. Pugwash
Master Mate
Pirate Willy
Pirate Barnabas
Tom the Cabin Boy

According to Peter Hawkins (a friend of a friend) the narrator of the Capt.
Pugwash shows, there were two versions of the Pugwash stories: the Filmfair
episodes made in the 1970s, and an earlier 1950s series, which featured the
dodgy character names. I don't know if John Ryan was involved with this
supposed earlier series in any way.

I had some MR books as a child (20 odd years ago) and Penelope was in
those.
