    A Great Family Show & The Start Of Robert Shaw's Career.

    My wife and I just finished re-watching THE BUCCANEERS and we enjoyed it even more than we did the first time around. We're big fans of 1950s British historical action-adventure shows and have seen almost all of those currently available. We concur that THE BUCCANEERS is the best of the lot, better even than Richard Greene's more widely known ROBIN HOOD. Both series were produced by Hannah Weinstein for her Sapphire Films productions and were instigated by Lew Grade (years away from becoming entertainment mogul Lord Grade) for his fledgling ITV network. THE BUCCANEERS ran for 39 episodes during 1956-57 and served as the launching pad for Robert Shaw's movie career. It also gave work to a number of blacklisted American writers and technicians banned from working in the U. S.

    There are a number of things that distinguish THE BUCCANEERS from other shows of its era. The scripts are consistently above average plot wise which allows for greater character development. The relationship between Robert Shaw as pirate captain Dan Tempest and acting governor Edward Beamish is one of the most enjoyable aspects of the series. Beamish is wonderfully portrayed by Peter Hammond who started out as a comic foil to Shaw but quickly developed into an equal partner though of an entirely different temperament. Unfortunately Hammond left 2/3 of the way through the series (after 26 episodes) to pursue a director's career which was great for him but not so much for the series. As a result TB became more one note with a tiresome love interest for Shaw substituting in his place.

    In addition to Hammond, four others among the pirate crew were developed further as the series progressed. Armando, a half Spanish and half Indian character, played by Edwin Richfield in brown make-up and curly wig, Dan Tempest's go to man who was given a central role in over half the episodes. Gaff (Brian Rawlinson) my wife's favorite of the pirates, a big guy with an even bigger heart who acted first and then thought about it later. Taffy (Paul Hansard), a supposed Welshman, the musician of the group who led the crew in rounds of sea shanties (there was always lots of singing) and also joined in the swordplay and fisticuffs present in every episode. And Dickon (Wilfred Downing), a young boy who came of age under the pirates' tutelage. These leading characters interacted with each other excellently and formed a completely likable, believable ensemble.

    This series is based on historical fact. It's set in the Bahamas of 1718 where the Governor General was authorized to offer pardons to pirates in exchange for their protection of the islands from the Spanish and other buccaneers like Blackbeard. Like all shows from this time period, THE BUCCANEERS is family oriented. The potential darker sides of the characters are barely hinted at, the violence is bloodless, and it has a catchy theme song ("Let's go a' roving and join the buccaneers") you might find yourself singing along to. Also as with other shows from the 1950s, this series showcases not only up and coming performers like Robert Shaw, Adrienne Corri, Richard Pasco, and Hazel Court but also well known character players like Anthony Dawson, Alex Mango, Sid James, and Roger Delgado.

    Like so many of Lew Grade's early ITV / ITC television shows, THE BUCCANEERS, after its initial run in the U. S., existed in substandard second and third generation copies with poor sound and inconsistent video quality. Back in 2006 Mill Creek Entertainment issued all 39 episodes but not in their original order as first shown, which creates a problem with the character development I spoke of earlier. Still the Mill Creek version is to be preferred over the recent several volume set released by public domain specialists Alpha Video, or what's currently available on Amazon streaming. Although more expensive and Region 2, this Network set from 2008 remains THE set to own. All the episodes are on 5 discs and the picture quality and sound are the best available. Just too bad there aren't any subtitles...For more reviews visit The Capsule Critic.

    The Buccaneers theme song

    Let's go a-roving, / a-roving across the ocean. / O, let's go a-roving, / And join the buccaneers!

    The theme-tune was jaunty. They all were, for these classic children's TV shows. (Did adults ever watch them? By contrast, children and adults happily watched the American series such as "Tales of Texas Rangers" a Western that alternated modern and old stories, "Whirlybird" about a charter helicopter service, "Seahunt" about frogmen, and "Cannonball" about long-haul big-rig trucking.) The pattern for these British historical TV series had been set by "Robin Hood", starring Richard Green. "Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen. Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men. Feared by the bad, loved by the good, Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood". There were verses, about vowing to serve his king, and still having plenty of time to sing ... Chorus, repeats. Memorable.

    "The Buccaneers" was great fun, as long as you ignored the serious side of piracy, law, fighting, ... But serious violence was not the issue. Zorro carved his "Zee", and occasionally pinked an opponent in a furious fencing duel. The good cowboy shot the gun out of the hand of the bad cowboy. The buccaneer with the heart of gold punched his opponents, knocked them out with a belaying pin, or tossed them overboard.

    Plots were mainly about uncovering dastardly plots, righting wrongs, defending the vulnerable, and generally proving that a former pirate was really on the side of the angels.

    Fun fluff from a bygone TV era

    I just finished watching the whole 1-season, 39 epps on Amazon, having not watched The Buccaneers since it came to America when I was about ten. Unlike the other UK import to impact American TV culture, Robin Hood, this series did not live on in my memory, save for the catchy sea-chantey song played over closing credits. Somehow, the words to the song had stuck in my head. The plots are simple, the production is pretty lean and at times the actors chew the scenery, but overall, I found myself compelled to watch all the episodes. About ten years later when I saw Robert Show as the villain in 'From Russia With Love' I did not make the connection, nor in 'Jaws.' His Captain Dan Tempest was vibrant, physically imposing and humorous, but at times, he really goes over the top, even for a 50s show. One thing that surprised me was how the Brits referred to the acting governor as Lieutenant, the way we pronounce it here, vs. 'Leftenant,' how they say it there. For the US market only? Anyway, a pleasant enough guilty pleasure to watch.

    "The Buccaneers"--A great old British series!

    "The Buccaneers" was made by the same British production company that did "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (Richard Greene). Robert Shaw was over the top as ex-pirate Dan Tempest. Their action scenes were equal to Greene's Robin Hood. They also had an interesting theme song.

    Some reviewers have said they would like to see "The Buccaneers" on DVD. Three volumes (12 episodes) are available from: oldies.com ($5.95 each). The last volume was just released in May 2007. Hopefully, that means 36 of the 37 episodes will be collected in nine volumes.

    The Lt. Beamish character (Peter Hammond) seems to be there for some comedy relief. The pilot episode of the series did not have Robert Shaw as the star. He appears in the second episode.

    The DVDs are good quality (picture as well as sound).

    Another great obscure TV series of the 1950's

    I was about 10 or so when I discovered this on TV in the States in first run. I had no clue as to first run, repeats, or anything like that, only that I found some shows and would watch them intently. And what an enjoyable time watching swordplay, great sailing ships go at it in battle, feats of derring-do tempered with some humor. And what a role model Dan Tempest was for a young boy. How could you not imagine yourself on some privateer battling the Spaniards or other pirates.

    I remember seeing him next in From Russia With Love and it took me some time to realize who he was and where I had seen him before.

    A very enjoyable series, along with The Three Musketeers (which I have reviewed) and Adventures of Robin Hood (which will come). TV series like these are only a dream today where the basic set is just an apartment living room and a coffee shop. Give me the world!

    If you can get a copy, just sit back and enjoy. And I hope current or future versions will include the original theme song - that alone was fun to sing along with.
