I'm puzzled. The LJS TV series was originally 26 episodes, but, as we already know, only 13 have been released so far. However, if you go out to the IMDb database and pull up the series cast members, of the main characters you will see that Connie Gilchrist (Purity) and Robert Newton are the only characters listed for 26 episodes. Most of the ship's crew are listed for 13 episodes and Kit Taylor (Jim) is listed for 12 episodes. Who was left for the remaining 13 episodes? They certainly were not just about Purity and Long John.

Actually, 14 episodes have been released, not just 13--that Platinum series omitted "Dragonslayer" for some reason, but it is available on other versions. As for your question, I don't know the answer, except to say that the IMDb information is very often incomplete; they rely on users to fill in the blanks for them (subject to verification). You'll probably find more information about the series at that Australian TV series site, which I have a couple of links to from the site (on the LJS page, as well as the filmography page, I believe).

Speaking of incomplete information, I recently checked the page for "Jamaica Inn," and have you ever noticed how in the film, probably only half the wreckers get credited? Well, the IMDb listing has a whole slew of uncredited performers for the film (although it doesn't give all the names of the characters they played). One of them is Marie Ault (the lady in the coach with Mary at the beginning)--she also played Rummy Mitchens in "Major Barbara"!
