This is a notorios spoof show that was probably done as a Christmas tape - all Telly companies do it - i'm not sure if it actually aired as they claim on the site.

Don't know about the TV series but there's definately a 'Master Bates' in the Pugwash books.Mr Arkadin wrote: Urban myth: Kiddies' favourite pirate Captain Pugwash contained characters called Master Bates and Seaman Staines.

For the lazy:
"RUDE RAINBOW?
We're often asked about the so called rude Rainbow, clips of which have been shown on the Channel Four programmes, TV Unzipped and TV Offal. The clip can now be found on the web, without too much effort. Although often introduced as the unaired pilot, this episode was actually specially made by the team at Thames Television. Geoffrey Hayes told us, "The VT department of each ITV company, every Christmas had a competition to enter all the outtakes from their particular companies programme out put, and see which ones were the funniest. But ours wasn’t an outtake, we specially did it. It was specially scripted and we did it and I never saw it! We did it and Thames won it, but what they actually won, I don’t know. But I never saw the video. I can’t remember much about it except for Zippy with a banana." The script was written by the voice of Zippy and George; Roy Skelton."

DAMN YOU, TECHNO WEENIE!!! 
you really burst my bubble there I was laughing my ass off, thinking about the expressions on the poor parents faces when the 'episode' aired; and it's all a farce.. oh well, still pretty funny.

Any chance of posting that somewere for us all? I would like to have it an a "better" format than flashaMUSEd wrote:I have a copy of this on a CD somewhere in avi format. Very funny indeed
Nods...I felt the same way...kind of twisted how I laughed harder at the thought of paniced parents trying to shield their children from inuendos they would probably not understand, kids repeating the show vebatum no knowing what they were saying, etc than I laughed at the show itself...but all good times must come to an end I guess.spoonboiler wrote:DAMN YOU, TECHNO WEENIE!!!

Really, i don't know the books. i think it was Cabin Boy Tom in the series - maybe the books were a bit naughtier. i think there was a pirate called One Eyed Willy though in the TV seriesDon't know about the TV series but there's definately a 'Master Bates' in the Pugwash books.

I always felt that Rainbow had the funkiest theme around - especially that guitar part at the end.. Tho' the 'Jamie and his Magic Torch' theme was no slouch..
