    Hey there people,

    Just a quick one for you.

    Does anyone else remember the Pirates of the Dark Water. It used to be on BBC1 on a Saturday morning. I remember Andy Crane saying that due to the fact that the show he was presenting was only on for a couple of more weeks and that the cartoon was on for longer than that, they had to skip some of the episodes of the cartoon to get to the end, which i missed :(

    The second cartoon I was thinking about recently was a Star wars cartoon. I think it was called Droids or something. Im pretty sure that R2-D2 and C3PO were in it. And the guy they hung around with was like the guy who had the space ship in Jason and the wheel warriors and the rouge pirate in Pirates of the Dark Water. Can anyone else remember this one.

    Thanks in advance

    Sam

    Mmm, Droids. Made by Lucasfilm in the mid-80s, starring the silver screen's favourite campy Brit protocol droid and his dustbin chum as you thought. Only lasted one season.

    Pirates of the Dark Water? Is that the cartoon where they were going around in the ship trying to prevent some evil darkness thing from taking over the ocean or something like that?

    I liked Droids because I just had liked the droids R2D2 and C3PO in the Star Wars movies, there was also another spin off from Star Wars called Ewoks which was basically showing the adventures of the ewoks that made an appearance in one of the Star Wars movies (don't ask me which one because it's been quite some time since I've seen any of them.

    Oh great! The theme's tune in my head now:
    We are the e-e-e-eeewoks.... *reminds himself to play it when he gets home later*

    I used to like the Pirates of Dark Water.

    I could never follow the series on the BBC though, as they were always moving it around and skipping episodes. And I never did forgive them for skipping the last episode of The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

    I saw Pirates of Dark Water first on one of the Sky movie channels, but the first 4 or 5 episodes had been edited into a little mini movie. It was really good, as Roddy McDowell did the voice of the monkey bird, which he didn't do in the series.

    And yes, the plot was something along the lines of this dark water slowly consuming the world. And there was some sort of quest for magic stones to stop it and there were evil pirates who had a huge ship that could eat other ships.
