A staple of my childhood in that 5 minute slot at tea-time just before the news Captain Pugwash is still very watchable. Telling the story of the inept Captain Pugwash and his trusty cabin boy Tom who usually saved the day these cartoons were of a low-fi era which gave a much warmer feel to productions.
Many of the animations were just cut out drawings on sticks or levers against simple hand drawn backgrounds and gave the series a distinctive 'jerky' motion
Ryan published a number of books and many series of the cartoons, fromt the earliest black and white BBC verisions up to some new cartoons for ITV in 1998.
John Ryan publsihed a number of other cartoons including the iconic Mary, Mungo and Midge.
