Characters and Casting

In addition to Tim, Paul and Richard, numerous other recurring characters appeared throughout the series. These included:

• Flacco (Paul Livingston): a strange alien being with a high-pitched voice. He spends most of his time talking to his pet (animated) cockroach, Ross.
• Psycho Bob (Michael Petroni): an American serial killer and psychotic who has somehow stowed away on board. He usually has a ranting monologue to camera ending with his catchphrase: "I'm Bob, and I'll be back." Tim is the only member of the crew to have seen or encountered him.
• Thulgore (animated): a giant crab who lives in the engine room.
• The Shitsu-Tonka newsreader (Khym Lam): the boys' only contact with the outside world is broadcasts from Shitsu-Tonka's television network, including regular bulletins from a female Asian newsreader.
• Bob Downe (Mark Trevorrow): a cheesy cabaret singer who is a TV personality on Shitsu-Tonka.
• Wayne Kerr (Tim Ferguson): along with his sidekick pals, Spinner (Richard Fidler) and Paddlefoot (Paul McDermott), are characters in the most violent program on Shitsu-Tonka ("with a G-5 violence rating!").
• Troy the Invincible (Paul McDermott): appears on Shitsu-Tonka. Performs acts of violence on himself to demonstrate the invincibility of his working-class principles.
• Uncle Biff Happy (Richard Fidler): a used car salesman whose ads appear on Shitsu-Tonka.
