Stingray and Four Feather Falls.

I never ever heard of that one,so I googled it and it was superb :biggrin5:

Take a look at the link
Four Feather Falls: Episode 1 - How It Began - Part 1 - YouTube

That would definitely be banned by the do good clubs,especially the cowboy and his unique way of getting his guns out at the start

Screw reading, didn't learn the alphabet till about 9.
Fractions when I was 11. Quite good at Maths now though! English is still crap.

'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea', regular p*******s, staggering about on deck after an attack.
And 'Richard the Lionheart' didn't take any messing from Saladin and his saracens.

the fit women always escape me too
