BBC One - The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!

Fantastical animated comedy about a hapless pirate who dreams of being Pirate of the Year.

Animated adventure that follows the fortunes of a hapless pirate who is determined to beat his rivals to win the Pirate of the Year award after previous attempts ended in failure.

1837. A hapless pirate captain's dream of supremacy is renewed by naturalist Charles Darwin saying the crew's 'parrot' Polly is a priceless dodo. To claim their prize, the cut-price cutthroats must sail for London, the heart of pirate-hating Queen Victoria's empire.

Fantastical animated comedy from Aardman, makers of Shaun the Sheep, the Wallace and Gromit films, and Chicken Run. 

Featuring voices of Hugh Grant (Pirate Captain), Martin Freeman (Pirate with Scarf), Imelda Staunton (Queen Victoria), David Tennant (Charles Darwin), Jeremy Piven (Black Bellamy), Salma Hayek (Cutlass Liz), Lenny Henry (Peg Leg Hastings), Brian Blessed (Pirate King), Russell Tovey (Albino Pirate), Ashley Jensen (Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate), Brendan Gleeson (Pirate with Gout) and Ben Whitehead (Pirate Who Likes Sunsets and Kittens).
