Yoho Ahoy is a British children's television series about a group of distinct pirates, aboard their pirate ship, The Rubber Duck. The title of the show derives from the fact that the only words that the characters say, depending on their emotions are "Yoho" and "Ahoy". The characters themselves are animated puppets. In 2001, it won the Banff Television Festival Rockie Award: Best Animation for "Yoho Ahoy: Buzz with Jones". The show was first broadcast on CBBC and later on CBeebies in the United Kingdom, while in Canada, the programme aired on Knowledge Network. [1]

Main

  • Bilge - He is dark blue and the ship's captain. Voiced by Mole Hill.
  • Cutlass - She is yellow and the ship's anchor hoister. Voiced by Simi Mougne.
  • Swab - She is purple and the ship's first mate. Voiced by Shelly Wain.
  • Poop - He is yellow and the ship's lazy cabin cleaner. Voiced by Joss Cope.
  • Jones - He is green and the ship's engineer. Voiced by Julian Roberts.
  • Grog - He is green and the chef of the ship. Wears a green yellow-spotted hat. Voiced by Joss Cope.
  • Plank - He is yellow and the ship's deck scrubber. He looks identical to Cutlass. Voiced by Mark Slater.
  • Plunder - She is purple and the ship's anchor hauler. She looks identical to Swab. Voiced by Sarah Thornhill.
  • Booty - She is beige and serves as both the ship's pianist and Flamingo's owner. Voiced by Julian Roberts.

Others

  • Flamingo - The only flamingo on the ship who is Booty's pet. He enjoys causing mischief on board The Rubber Duck, often by taking things from the Yohos without them realising. Flamingo's way of communicating is by squawking.
  • The Sun - Never seen. During the daytime, The Rubber Duck can be seen (at the beginning and end of most episodes,) bobbing and floating on the big wide sea.
  • Parrot - He is the only parrot on the ship who is green. Like all of the Yohos, he, at times, says the two following words, "Yoho" and "Ahoy".
  • The Rats - They are the only pink and blue rats on the ship. With their squeaky communication, they cause nothing but trouble wherever they go.
  • The Moon - A blue voiceless moon which appears at the beginning and end of quite a few episodes, including Lullaby With Booty. At night, the moon can be seen shining in the sky beside The Rubber Duck.
  • Cat - He is the ginger cat on the ship. As of all other cats, his way of communicating is by mewing.
  • Crow - The crow on the ship who is often seen looking out for the Yohos, although he doesn't look like a real crow at all.
