Yoho Ahoy is a 2000-2001 British animated children's television series about a gang of animated pirates, known as Yohos, who had lived on board their giant pirate ship, called The Rubber Duck. The title of the TV show derives from the fact that the only words the main characters say, depending on their feelings are "Yoho" and "Ahoy", that is just a language. The characters themselves are animated puppets. In Spring 2001, the show itself 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] and on TVOKids.[2]

Characters
Main
- Bilge – The ship's dark blue male captain with a yellow stomach and dark blue skin who wants the ship to be clean and tidy at all times.
- Cutlass – The ship's yellow female quartermaster who wears an eyepatch and carries a pea-shooting blowgun.
- Swab – The ship's purple male bosun who wears a white circular earring on each ear.
- Poop – The youngest of the crew, and the ship's yellow male sleepy cabin boy who wears a blue yellow-spotted hat.
- Jones – The ship's male green skull-like engineer who often comes up with creative ways to solve problems.
- Grog – The ship's male green chef who wears a green yellow-spotted hat. Because Grog has no hands, he instead uses hooks and other utensils to do his work.
- Booty – The ship's female beige pianist, and Flamingo's owner. She is quite posh compared to the other Yohos, but still very friendly and helpful.
Others
- Plunder – A purple female crewmate who often pulls up interesting things from the sea with her net, and can be quite resourceful.
- Plank – A yellow male castaway rescued from the sea by Plunder and Poop, who joins the crew. He's a little rough, but means well.
- Crow – The ship's indigo male lookout, who lives in the crow's nest at the top of the ship. Given his humanoid appearance, he is likely a Yoho simply named Crow, rather than a real bird.
- Flamingo – A male flamingo who is Booty's pet. He sometimes causes mischief on board The Rubber Duck, often taking things from the Yohos without them noticing. Flamingo's one way of communicating is by squawking.
- Parrot – Bilge's green male parrot with a purple beak who can fly around the Rubber Duck unaided. Just like Bilge and the other Yohos, Parrot says the two following words: "Yoho" and "Ahoy".
- Cat – The male ginger ship's cat who often chases the pink and blue rats around whenever he sees them. Just like all real cats, Cat's way of communicating is by meowing.
- The Rats – Pink and blue rats on board the pirate ship who appear in the most surprising places, often causing trouble in the kitchen. With their squeaky communication, the rats, who are often followed around by Cat, cause nothing but trouble wherever they go.
