Apparantly, this sort of innuendo in British TV for children was reasonably common in the 70s. There was I believe a cartoon show called Captain Pugwash, about a pirate. Among the crew were characters such as Semen Stains and Roger the Cabin Boy. Of course this was the time of many British Carry-On films, so I suppose it's hardly any wonder. C.
"In 1979, the cast and crew of Rainbow made a special exclusive sketch for the Thames TV staff Christmas tape, sometimes referred to as the "Twangers" episode. This show featured plenty of deliberate sexual innuendo...it was never intended to be screened to the general public."
That was incredible vid.
I remember the references to marijuana in the H. R. Puff n Stuff show.
"Among the crew were characters such as Semen Stains and Roger the Cabin Boy."
Actualy that's not true, buy whom am I to stand in the way of a good rumour?
