There's no doubt about it, this expedition does have some rather unusual aspects, Jim lad. For a first, why does the senior personnel all bear the names of Hollywood film stars of the forties ... and female ones at that- shiver me timbers 'tis the black spot! And secondly- I be not afraid of thee, Blind Pew ... Why do they talk this rather strange stilted, underground jargon- belay the mainbrace, Squire Trelawney! This be my ship now! Argh! A tranquillizing dart fired by the cowardly BBC health department dogs! They've done filled me full of chlorpromazine- damn!Stavro Arrgolus

Facts:

This episode leans more toward political satire than much of the rest of the series. Its sketches have a go at politicians & the military almost exclusively- even to the point of issuing a fake apology to acknowledge they overdid it a bit. (Stavro Arrgolus)

Naturally, the high point of the episode occurs when John Cleese turns into...a pirate. This show suggests a reason why you don't hear people talking like pirates more often. It seems that everyone who does gets darted with chlorpromazine. Who knew?
