    • Trivia
      The poem that Robert Newton recites at the beginning of most episodes ("If sailor tales and sailor tunes...") is entitled "To the Hesitating Purchaser" and the author, Robert Louis Stevenson, attached it as a preamble to his novel "Treasure Island".
    • Quotes

      [opening narration to most episodes]

      Capt. Long John Silver: If sailor tales and sailor tunes, / Storm and adventure, heat and cold, / If schooners, islands and maroons / And buccaneers and buried gold, / And all the old romance retold / Exactly in the ancient way / Can please as me they pleased of old / The wiser youngsters of today... So be it! Ar-har! And fall on!

    Scared the dillies out of me!
    I remember watching an episode of this when I was about 4 back in 1957 in black and white. There was a scene with a skeleton lying in a clearing with a cutlass through it's chest and a chorus of pirates chanting "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" To this day I remember being absolutely terrified and running out of the lounge into the kitchen where I hid behind my mum's legs! I think it has to be my earliest memory!

    Watched the whole series in 1985 when it was re-shown on Saturday afternoons and loved Robert Newton as Long John, but my favourite character was Purity Pinker (Connie Gilchrist).
