Development

Pip Ahoy originated as The Salties around 1995, while the creator was reading bedtime stories to his boys James and Freddie, during his annual holiday to Salcombe. Assisted by his wife Katie, he recorded the stories in a small red book, in the hope that they would be published one day. The red book lay in a drawer for 10 years until 2005, when Katie and Ward decided that The Salties should become reality. In 2007, Charles meet Francis Fitzpatrick and formed a partnership to promote The Salties around the world. Ward and Francis pitched The Salties to many Animation Studios such as HiT Entertainment only to see rejection, but sometime in 2011 Ward received a call from Francis to say that he’d just had met someone while attending Kidscreen in New York who thought Cosgrove Hall might be interested and in around February 2011, France and Charles meet the Cosgrove team at the premises of 422 TV in Manchester.

A few weeks later, France and Charles meet some of Cosgrove Hall’s ex-employees, who had been asked to come up with some new ideas. Mark Hall explained that he felt we should keep “Captain’ (now called ‘Skipper’) was a grandfather type character and would become the narrator of the stories. Cosgrove Hall had a fine reputation for storytelling and it seemed they would call upon the best for The Salties. Mark and Brian had also introduced a brand new character, called Pip and he was told that pre-school children needed to see a character of approximately their own age, so Pip was born.

Eventually CHF Entertainment was Formed and Pip Ahoy! went into Production in November 2011.
