Octonaut Missions Resumed As Dr Shellington Located With A White Feather

The SOS went out over the phone line: Shellington has gone missing.
In the world of 3 year old, such as my grandson, this wasn’t good news. Shellington or Dr Shellington as he probably should be addressed, is an important member of the Octonaut team. His knowledge of the ocean and his field research are extremely useful on any of the Octonaut missions – where their aim is to Explore! Rescue! Protect!
Fortunately we found Shellington hiding in a box of Lego, along with the white feather, from when our grandson had last paid is a visit. We were able to reunite the missing Octonaut with his seven other adventurers. Thankfully new missions can now once more be considered.
Who are these Octonauts? Wikipedia, rather stuffily, describes them thus “… an underwater exploring crew made up of stylized anthropomorphic animals, a team of eight adventurers who live in an undersea base, the Octopod, from where they go on undersea adventures with the help of a fleet of aquatic vehicles.” If he read this Shellington would no doubt reply, “Fascinating,” or “Jumping Jellyfish.”
It’s interesting how similar themes appear in different television series – synchronicity, coincidence, or maybe there really isn’t anything new in the world.
If we look at the Octonauts (designed for pre-school children) and compare them with Star Trek, for instance, the similarities are there. I read the following description on the Highchairs & Headaches website:
Strangely when I looked at another photo I had taken of Shellington, using the reflection setting on my camera, the white feather seems to have turned into a rocket ship or space vehicle.
