How many of you have seen the other (Insert Man's name here)s? Doc, the Chef, whomever whomever. And did anybody ever get to see Mr. Ned Schimmelpfennig? Yes, I spelled it right!

I always thought that, since Frank Oz didn't do anything with the show, he should be Ned.

He prolly just looks like Frasier Crane's dad, Marty Crane. Yeah. Or Maybe Frank Barone of " Raymond " fame! Or maybe he's the Captain? Hmmm...

LOL it's wonderful what a healthy imagination can come up with! Did any of you by any chance catch Gerry Parkes on "Today's Special"? He was a store photographer with a drinking problem. What a brilliant actor.
When I was seeing this show way back when, I always thought Doc and Sprocket lived in Winnipeg (that's not by any seashore though)... I don't know how I came up with that. They (Doc, Schimmelpfennig and Sprocket) just seem like someones from the Peg.

Super Scooter, you may know this answer because you may be cool like that.
Who was the actor supplying that hand there?
I will accept a convincing enough answer to that question.

The Captain was the British version of Doc, he lived in a Lighthouse with Sprocket.
