Capt. Crowther (Sid James) presides over a host of new faces
Doctor Binn (Kenneth Connor) is smitten with Flo (Dilys Laye, left)
Ready for another cruise, this time an April run around the sunny Mediterranean, Captain Crowther, who’s at the helm of the S.S. Happy Wanderer, is horrified to see new faces among his crew. Changes in personnel make him nervous because he believes they could spell disaster, thereby killing off any hope he has of taking over the captaincy of the company’s new trans-Atlantic liner.
Among the passengers embarking on the journey is an eccentric old lady, a drunk who spends his entire time propping up the bar and two girls, Flo and Glad. Flo hopes that during the cruise, with her friend’s help, she’ll find herself a husband. Dr Binn, the ship’s doctor, is attracted to her but it’s clear that feelings aren’t mutual, particularly as she’s already got her eye on Mr Jenkins, the PT instructor.
Meanwhile, Leonard Marjoribanks, the new first officer, happens to pop into the captain’s cabin when he’s mixing up various drinks. Unbeknown to Marjoribanks, Captain Crowther is trying to find the right combination for an Aberdeen Angus, his favourite tipple. The only person who knew how to mix the drink was Angus, the head barman, who resigned from his job without passing details on to his replacement. Marjoribanks believes the captain is drunk and convenes a meeting with the rest of the crew to inform them that he’s taking over the ship; everyone is, therefore, understandably shocked when a completely sober Captain Crowther strides into the room.
Flo Castle’s search for a husband, meanwhile, continues. Suddenly realising she needs a mature man, she only has eyes for the captain, but attempts to woo him fail. To help her friend, Glad Trimble secures the help of the first officer to bring Dr Binn and Flo together, and it’s not long before the ship’s doctor overcomes his timidity and proposes to Miss Castle.
As the cruise comes to an end, a party is thrown to celebrate ten years since the captain took charge of the Happy Wanderer; the captain is soon the recipient of good news when a cable arrives informing him he’s got the new job, but he declines the offer in order to stay with his beloved Happy Wanderer.
CROWTHER, CAPTAIN WELLINGTON
Played by Sid James
Captain Crowther has been at the helm of the Happy Wanderer for ten years. He served in the navy during the war, sailing Arctic waters, but has spent the last few decades ferrying passengers around the Mediterranean. Has hopes of being offered the captaincy of the company’s spanking new trans-Atlantic liner but realises it’s not a foregone conclusion, especially with several board members disliking him. Such an inferiority complex explains why he becomes incredibly nervous and worried when new faces join the crew of the Happy Wanderer, splitting up the loyal, reliable team he’s established over the years.
Despite problems endured during the April cruise to the Med in Cruising, the trip turns out successful and Crowther is offered his dream job, only to turn it down in order to stay with the Happy Wanderer.
Away from the wheelhouse, he’s green-fingered; his garden is the envy of everyone associated with the various horticultural societies to which he belongs.
