Capt Grey Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 It's not exactly about pirates per se, but it does include many of our sea-faring phrases. The mid-1980s BBC series "Blackadder" starring Rowen Atkinson (Mr. Bean) has a wonderful episode about explorers, specifically Sir Walter Raleigh. In the episode called "Potato", Edmund Blackadder proposes to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in a ship manned bye Redbeard Rum, a leg-less captain with no sense of direction. I heartily recommend it, me hearties! :angry: Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Grey Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Are you kidding me?! I didn't realize that! Another reason to love Tom Baker (I'm a Dr. Who fan as well!). I'm trying to think of other parodies to include in this topic. I know that the "Pirate Movie" of the 1980s probably fits since it is a parody of The Pirates of Penzance. I wonder of The Pirates of Penzance would be considered a parody of pirates? Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Raleigh was played by Simon Jones of Hitchicker's Guide to the Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
