Pugwash RIP

July 24th, 2009

Sad to hear that my cousin, John Ryan, has died aged 88. John was the creator of Captain Pugwash, Mary Mungo & Midge, and other BBC children’s favourites from the 70s.

For a bit of nostalgia for those of a certain age – here’s a clip on one of my previous posts.

And here’s the announcement on the BBC website.

Why is it your post titles always send my mind off on a completely different tack than your post!

I thought you were meaning the demise of The Pugwash group http://www.pugwash.org/uk/

Ah, yes… bet they don’t have such a good theme tune, though 🙂

A friend of my father’s from his big-band days played the squeezebox on the Pugwash music!

Got Something To Say:

Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
