Barrie's "Peter Pan" that aired on Fox from September 8, 1990 to September 10, 1991. The television show focuses as much on the pirates as it does on Peter Pan. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee traditionally are the only pirates who receive any attention in the story, but here, the other crew members of the Jolly Roger (Robert Mullins, Alf Mason, Gentleman Ignatious Starkey, Billy Jukes, and Cookson) are given distinct personalities and character development.

Peter Pan in Scarlet become children themselves. (Having only daughters, Tootles must wear a dress and becomes a girl.) Later, Peter Pan discovers Captain Hook's second-best coat. When Peter puts it on, he is transformed into a form of Captain Hook, growing long dark curls and inheriting his bad temper. Only when Peter removes the coat does he become himself again. Ravello, clad in unravelling clothes, is really Hook. When he puts on Hook's second-best coat, he is hardened and returns to the form of Captain Hook. Another theme that is stressed in the novel is "time passing where no time should have passed".
