Plankety Plank Swashbuckle

# A band of naughty pirates Took some jewels from me

# I hid on board their pirate ship And sailed off out to sea

# But they weren't watching where they went

# And shipwrecked on the sand

# I want to win my treasure back Will you give me a hand?

-ALL:

-# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, go, go, go! #

-Will you help me win my treasure back?

-Yeah!

-Shall we make the pirates walk the plank?

-Yeah!

Well, let's hear you then, me hearties!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, yo-ho-ho!

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go Take on the pirates, go, go, go! #

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Ahoy there, me hearties! Welcome to Swashbuckle!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

My name's Gem, and it's great to have you aboard.

Are you all ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

And will you help me to win back my jewels

from those very naughty pirates?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Brilliant! Now, where is Captain Sinker?

Can you see her anywhere?

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

Ah, yes, that's it, boys.

Keep stirring that bucket of slop. Perfect.

What ARE you naughty pirates doing?

Well, Gem, we've had enough of walking the plank all the time,

so I've decided that today, YOU'RE going to walk the plank,

-into this bucket of slop.

-SHE LAUGHS

Into a bucket? But I'm WAY too big to fit inside a bucket!

And anyway, Sinker, aren't you forgetting something?

Mmm? No, I don't think so.

Er, there's no plank.

What?! You buffoons! Go and find a plank, now!

BOTH: Yes, Captain Sinker, sir!

I mean, ma'am.

Oh, you silly pirates!

Now it's time to think about winning back my jewels,

so Squawk, who are my swashbuckling team today?

Playing today in our Children And Grown-Ups special,

we've got Mia!

Mia's seven, and likes riding her bike.

She'll be WHEELIE good at the pirate games!

Her Swashbuckle name is Matey Mia!

Next, it's Simon!

Simon is a teaching assistant in Mia's class.

He'll teach those pirates a thing or two!

His Swashbuckle name is Seaweed Simon!

Meet Tiana! Tiana is five, and likes gymnastics.

Let's hope she somersaults to a win!

Her Swashbuckle name is Treasure Tiana.

Finally, here's Horace.

Horace is Tiana and Mia's dad, and enjoys swimming.

He's sure to dive into those games!

His Swashbuckle name is Hook Horace.

CHEERING

Welcome aboard to my new team of Swashbucklers.

So, you're all here to help me win back my jewels from Captain Sinker.

But I need to make sure that you are ready for the challenge

by doing the Swashbuckle Salute!

So, let me see you all marching.

Put your hands on your heart.

Here we go!

-Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

Fantastic! You are all definitely ready for the adventure.

So, Squawk, remind us, what do we have to do today?

SQUAWK SQUAWKS

You daring Swashbucklers need to work as a team

as you take part in different pirate games.

Every time you win a game, Captain Sinker will give you a jewel

for your treasure chest.

Win all five jewels, and one of the naughty pirates

will walk the plank into the Ship's Mess!

-AUDIENCE:

-Eww!

It looks so yucky! But hey, Swashbucklers, look down here.

This is our treasure chest,

and when we win back my jewels from naughty Captain Sinker,

we'll put them in here to keep them safe for her.

Your giant Squashbucklers don't scare me!

The jewels are mine now.

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

Not for long, Sinker! We're ready for the first game.

Squawk, what is it?

The first game is Coconutty Raft!

The aim of the game is to get six coconuts into the barrel.

All you have to do is use your raft to collect the coconuts

and then bull's-eye them into the barrel.

But be careful!

Cook and Line will be naughty and try to stop you!

CHEERING

And here is the barrel where you need to collect

six of the soft coconuts which are way over there

at the other side of the lagoon under the palm tree.

Look out for Cook and Line, cos they will try to put you off,

and maybe even knock over your coconuts.

And you have as long as it takes for the octopus to reach out

across the screen and close the treasure chest to play the game.

OK, Simon and Mia, you're going first for me? Brilliant.

Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

BELL RINGS

That's it, boys!

Thanks very much, pirates.

OK. Well done.

It's a speedy start.

Quick, get some more!

Well done!

Quick as you can!

Get out the way!

Never mind, we got two across, that's good. OK, swap over!

Oh, well done, we've got one in!

And another one! Brilliant, well done, Mia.

OK.

Those naughty pirates knocked over two of the coconuts

but you got the other two in.

More, more, more!

Knock a coconut off!

Get it in - yes!

Oh, we can't use that one, I'm afraid.

I know.

But stop over there, get some more. Wait...ready...

Line it up nicely.

Go.

Oooh! Try again. That's it. Take your time.

Yeah!

OK, the octopus is halfway to the treasure chest now, team.

Cook! Leave the coconuts alone!

Off you go, swap over, that's it.

Let's try again.

Yeah! Brilliant!

-Oh, she's a good shot!

-You've got four in there.

Well done. Come on, team!

Two more coconuts!

Look out for the...

Watch out, behind you!

OK, swap over.

OK, line it up.

Ooh. Try again, another one.

Yeah!

We need one more, we need one more, team.

That's it, Mia and Simon. Come on back, we're running out of time.

Line!

Oh, those pesky pirates!

OK, we're coming up to the last ten seconds!

Try again, that's it.

Yeah!

CHEERING

Well done!

Great work, Swashbucklers.

Squawk, you got the bird's-eye view - over to you!

What a corker of a Coconutty Raft!

Sneaky Cook failed to knock off one coconut,

so he knocked off the other!

Mia got a super-quick one-two coconut double!

And Cook knocked off some more!

But with six in the barrel, Gem, you win!

CHEERING

That was brilliant, Swashbucklers!

You've won back our first jewel. Well done.

So, Captain Sinker, you know the rule!

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

Oh, have it, you jammy Swapdogglers!

CHEERING

Ooh, look, it's the purple one, team.

There you go, Tiana, pop it in the chest, please.

Well done!

Now, we are one step closer to one of those naughty pirates

walking the plank into the smelly Ship's Mess!

-AUDIENCE:

-Eww!

Now, have you got a plank for Gem to walk yet?

BOTH: Ta-da!

-What is that?

-A pirate plank!

-For Gem to walk!

"A pirate plank for Gem to walk"?

It's a lolly stick, isn't it?

THEY SCOFF

Yes, it is.

Go and find me a proper plank, now!

Still no plank for me, Sinker.

But we want to play another game and win back another of my jewels,

so Squawk, what's next?

-The second game is Bouncy Sails!

-SQUAWK SQUAWKS

The aim of this game is to fill all the holes

with the soft-toy rats and mice!

All you have to do is bounce on the ship's sails

and pull the ropes to release the rodents.

Then your team-mates have to put them in the correct hole.

But be careful! Cook or Line will be bouncing too,

and trying to stop you!

CHEERING

And these are the soft-toy mice and rats

that you need to find to play the game.

The little mice go into the little holes

and the big holes are for the big rats. Now, look out for Cook,

because if he catches the rats and the mice in his net,

he'll throw them back onto the bouncy sail for you to collect.

So, girls, you're going to be doing the bouncing.

And Simon and Horace, you have to collect the rats and mice.

I'll give you these two to start.

-OK. Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arr!

Then Swashbucklers away!

Here we go. Let's get another jewel.

That's it, Tiana, big jump.

Well done, Mia!

Throw it into my net! Throw it in the net!

You can do it!

Try again, that was close!

Oh, Cook!

Good work, Cook!

Well done, Tiana!

Oh, Mia, you've got some fish over there!

Oh! That's it, brilliant! Well done.

We've got lots over here, a good collection, Simon, well done.

GEM LAUGHS

That's it.

Oh, Cook!

Well done.

Keep bouncing, that's it!

You've got my rice and mat! I mean my mice and rat!

Stop trying to put off my Swashbucklers, Cook!

Well done! That's it!

Go on, Tiana! Big jump!

Well done, Mia!

Give those back!

That's it, Tiana. So close! Oh, try again!

Keep bouncing, Line!

Tiana, there's some down here, look!

Let's see, how are we doing? One, two, three...

12 holes to fill!

We need... One, two, three, four rats.

Oh, we're running out of time!

We're coming up to the last ten seconds!

Nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four three, two, one!

BELL RINGS

And time is up. Come on over here, Swashbucklers. Well done.

That was really, really good.

Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view, how did we do?

That was a tough game, Gem!

The rats and mice were flying,

but cheeky Cook had an enormous net and was catching the rodents!

Horace and Simon were filling the holes as best they could,

but they weren't quite speedy enough.

Sorry, Gem, not every hole was filled. You lose!

Oh, never mind, Swashbucklers. You did try really hard.

But don't worry,

we could still win that jewel back a little bit later, OK?

Oh, Gem! I've got a surprise for you.

What's this?

Hang on - some goggles

and some arm bands?

What are these for?

It's for when you walk the plank and splash in the slop.

You pirates will be looking like fools

if we win back all of my jewels,

and then one of you will have to walk the plank into the ship's mess,

so you might need them.

I don't think that's going to happen, Gem.

Why don't you lot figure out how you're going to get

the rest of the jewels. I'm going off to the captain's quarters.

Plank, plank...

Oh, Captain Sinker's going to be so angry unless we can find her a...

Plank! Got one, Cook!

Cook, where are you?

Oh, there you are!

-Do you like my plank?

-Oh! That looks perfect for Gem to walk.

-Well done, Line.

-Thanks, Cook. I found it on the beach.

But you have to be very careful for splinters!

Aaaah!

It's a bit pongy. Maybe we should wash it for Captain Sinker.

-Good idea.

-Right, let's put it on the table.

-OK, so...

-No, wait!

-The other way.

-Sorry, we didn't actually get anywhere.

On your head and we'll just kind of shuffle it...

-Just bring it this way.

-To you, then.

-No, whoa, whoa!

-Oh, sorry!

-That way! That way!

-Back, back. Too far. Too far!

Aaah! Splinter!

Where's that bucket?

Aaaah! Ow!

Aaah! Ow!

-Come on, I'll hold it, you wash it.

-Okey-dokey.

-OK, enough! Dry it.

-OK, drying.

You're welcome.

There we go. Clean as a whistle.

Aaah! Splinter!

Right, you two. Have you found a plank for that do-goody Gem to walk?

Plank? No.

Oh! Yes.

Let me see.

It's...

-..perfect!

-Oh, look, Captain, I can explain everything.

-We had a few problems on the... What did you say?

-It's perfect.

Thank you, boys. I will take it from here.

Oh!

Captain! You broke our plank!

There, there, planky! It's going to be all right.

Ah! Splinter!

OK, Swashbucklers, you have won back one of my jewels,

which is brilliant. Now we need to find four more in the final game.

Before we play it, let's do the Swashbuckle Salute one more time.

Let me see you all marching.

Put your hands on your heart.

Here we go!

Eye patch!

Eye patch!

Pirate hat!

Pirate hat!

Swashbuckle cheer!

Arrr-harrr!

Yeah!

You won't be cheering for long. The final game is the trickiest yet.

It's the Shipwreck Rummage.

The aim of the game is to collect the rest of Gem's jewels

that have been hidden around the shipwreck.

Use the map, because X marks the spot where

each of the jewels can be found, but be careful!

Cook, Line and Captain Sinker have hidden the jewels well

and they must all be in the chest before the time runs out.

CHEERING

OK, Swashbucklers, we need to win four more of my jewels.

So here's where they're hiding.

Up on the top deck the blue one is in Captain Sinker's treasure chest

or barrels. Then on the middle deck

we have the red jewel in the pool of pearls,

and the white jewel hanging somewhere in the laundry.

Down on the lower deck,

the green jewel is in one of the three hammocks.

Simon and Mia, you're going first for me.

-Which colour will you go for?

-Red.

-Going for the red one?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Are we ready to play?

Arrr-harrr!

Swashbucklers away!

It's Simon and Mia up first.

They're after the red jewel in the pool of pearls.

Past the cannon balls and up the rigging they go.

Quick as you can, team!

Mia is into the pool,

with Simon close behind.

But where's that red jewel?

It's down there at the bottom.

Oh, Simon's just touched it! And Mia's gone right under the pearls!

She's nearly there.

And she's got it!

Well done!

Give that back! Give me that jewel back!

They found the red one, so where are you going to go next?

-To find the blue one.

-The blue right at the top? OK.

That's it. Slide down, Mia.

You, too, Simon.

Brilliant. Up you go through the arches. Well done.

Now it's dad Horace and Tiana going for the second jewel.

It's the blue one all the way up on the top deck.

Line's pouring a basket, but they're still climbing.

They've reached the top deck. Where's that blue jewel?

Through the tunnel they go. I hope Horace doesn't get stuck!

Out they come onto Sinker's lookout. Horace has got it! Quick!

Back to the chest!

They've got that one as well. Which one are you going for next?

The white one in the laundry? Brilliant.

Wait for them to come back. And off you go!

That's it! Good work!

Let's get it in the treasure chest!

Horace places the blue jewel safely in the chest.

Two jewels grabbed, two to find.

Mia and Simon have arrived at the laundry.

Stay out of those bloomers!

Do not go in those... Give that back!

Mia's found the white!

-Give that back!

-No! Never in a million years!

You tell him, Mia!

I need you to find the last one cos they've got the white one.

You have to find the green one right at the bottom, OK?

Come on, you two! That tentacle's getting closer to the chest!

Come on, we're running out of time! Quick! Let's go!

Good work, Mia!

One more jewel to find, and Horace

and Tiana are looking in the hammocks.

Where's that green?

Yes! Horace has the jewel!

Quick! Back to the chest, you two!

Get it in the chest! Come on, Horace!

Yeah!

Fantastic!

Well done, Swashbucklers!

Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view. Over to you.

What a rascal of a rummage!

Simon and Mia took a plunge into the pearls and got the red.

Horace took the blue from the barrel of maps. Mia bagged the white.

Never in a million years!

Ha-ha! Go, Mia!

Then Tiana and Horace in the hammocks.

Dad grabbed that final green. Gem, you win!

Yes, Swashbucklers, well done.

You've won back all five of my jewels. Thank you so much.

So now I'd love to share them out with you.

So, let's hand out the white one there. There you go, Tiana.

Green one for you, Simon.

A red one for Horace.

And there you go, Mia, the purple one.

And a blue one for me. Let's have a big cheer for my Swashbucklers!

CHEERING

And now we have all five of my jewels, you know what it's time for.

One of those very cheeky pirates has to walk the plank!

But who's it going to be? Let's spin the wheel to see. Off you go, Mia.

Who will it be?

Cook with the white hat,

Line with the red bandana or Captain Sinker with the black hat?

It's Cook!

So, Cook, it's time for you to...

Walk the plank! Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank! Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Yeah!

Well, I have my Swashbucklers to thank for that naughty pirate

walking the plank.

We'll see you next time for more Swashbuckle.

# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers go... #

Swashbuckle cheer! Arrr-harrr!
