FAO;- Redbeard

[The Enclosure]

As an old sea dog of some standing Redbeard I can highly recommend to you a tv series called Black Sails ( I found it on Kodi ). I am sure that you will enjoy it.
Lots of swashbuckling,keel hauling, cat o'nine tails pirate treasure and a fair amount of rumpy pumpy of various kinds .Just up your street I reckon.
There are 4 series each with about a dozen or so episodes. I would be interested to know what you think about it.

I've been watching it on Amazon, I'm only about 4 episodes in.

Boobs, Pirates, drinking and swordplay.

An average day for Redbeard if rumours are to be believed.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Gets 8.2 on IMDB.com which is normally a good benchmark

[bobinho]

Yep. I confirm it's a good watch.

[conyoviejo]

He's can't be such a good pirate as his parrot is called Captain Skint ..

[Redbeard]

In fact I watched about half of episode 1 a while ago, and gave up on it, though tbf when you know the reality then fiction can't ever quite be good enough. In spite of rumours to the contrary, there are no 'various kinds' aboard my ships, I can tell you.

Still, bearing in mind too the first word of Sid's second sentence, I might just follow your recommendation and give it another chance.

Thanks for the thought.

[Sidney1st]

Worth a try again Red.

There's even girls kissing each other

[Dark Cloud]

Crumbs! I've got Netflix. Am, I missing out here!? On a good plot you understand. NOT on girls kissing each other!

[Sidney1st]

I'm watching it on Amazon, but its also on tv, one of the sky channels.

Watchseries, the website will probably have it on there too.

But not netflix?

[Sidney1st]

I don't think so.

Find the website - watchseries and you'll probably find it there.

[Dark Cloud]

Cheers! I will.

[Bertiebeehead]

Cheers! I will.

A dark cloud lifted!

On a more serious note, the Admiral should be ploughing his endeavours into catching me in the spot the ball league, rather than watching lesbian pirates frolicking below deck after splicing the mainbrace.

There may be film of the great man in this tv series. Perhaps RB could tell us if he advised on this show?

Black Sails is a preqeul to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
Brilliant series which mixes characters from fiction, Billy Bones, John Silver etc with real pirates from the past, Blackbeard, Bonney, Rackham, Flint etc.

[Diesel]

He isn't really a pirate.

[The Enclosure]

He isn't really a pirate.

You obviously were not around Diesel when Admiral Redbeard (vice Admiral at the time) sailed his ship and motley crew down the River Calder to take Padiham several years ago.
Many timbers shivered that day and many mainbraces spliced in that epic battle.

[Redbeard]

Hipper, those 'buccaneers' were but a bunch of clean-shaven landlubbers and outright pansies.

I'd have sunk them within minutes.

A dark cloud lifted!

Not entirely! I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime!
