Re 'Public Domain' ~~ Of course 'Trumpton', from which BBC Children's programme come the men whose names are used by Nigel, isn't in the public domain. But I don't imagine anyone is going to sue him over his adoption of 'Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb'. Trumpton was, after all, a fire station, and these were firemen...

The Trumpton Fire Chief, IIRC, isn't given a name. perhaps he was McIntyre?

Oh, no ~~ checking back, he was called Captain Flack. Oh well -- it was just an idea.
