Jolly Splodger 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:

-Arr-har!

Ahoy there, my hearties.

Welcome aboard the Scarlet Squid for Swashbuckle!

Arr-har!

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

Are you ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

Arr-har!

Great! And will you help me to win back my treasure

from those very naughty pirates?

Arr-har!

Oh, thank you!

Now, where is Captain Sinker? Can you see her?

-Boo!

-Oh, there she is!

Oh, boo all you like! You see my flag?

That's called the Jolly Roger.

Only my crew have that flag.

It means we're very scary pirates.

Actually, Captain Sinker,

it's not just your pirates that have that flag.

Look at all my Swashbucklers -

-they've got the Jolly Roger on their hats!

-What?

No, no, no! This won't do at all!

I want a flag of my very own! Cook! Line!

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain Sinker, sir! I mean, ma'am.

Boys, we need a new flag.

Something different and unusual,

that makes us stand out from all the other pirates.

Er... I know!

We could hang these up! They're yours, Captain!

That would certainly make us stand out from the other pirates!

We can't use those! They're my only spare pair.

No, no. I want you boys to make me a brand-new flag.

Now, get to work!

Oh. I hope Cook and Line are feeling creative today.

Right, time to think about winning back my jewels!

Squawk, let's meet today's swashbuckling team.

Playing today, we've got Al Hussein!

Al Hussein is six years old

and enjoys visiting the park with his mum.

All that running around will be good practice for Swashbuckle today.

His Swashbuckle name is Peg-Leg Al Hussein.

This is Abdul Ghani.

Abdul Ghani is five years old

and loves being in goal when he plays football,

so he'll be good at diving around in the pool of pearls.

His Swashbuckle name is Admiral Abdul Ghani.

Meet Elaha!

Ella Ha is five years old and loves eating ice cream and cake.

Just don't go near anything Cook has made -

he puts seaweed in everything!

Her Swashbuckle name is Eye-patch Elaha!

And finally, it's Hamza!

Hamza is six years old and has a pet dog called Bella.

Hopefully, she'll have taught Hamza how to fetch Gem's jewels later.

His Swashbuckle is Hidden Treasure Hamza.

Welcome aboard to my brand-new team of Swashbucklers.

It's great to see you.

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

Let's get ready for the challenge by doing the Swashbuckle Salute!

Let me see all you marching.

Put your hands on your hearts. Here we go!

-Eye-patch!

-Eye-patch!

-Pirate hat!

-Pirate hat!

Swashbuckle cheer -

-ALL:

-Arr-harr!

Well done, my hearties. You're definitely ready.

Squawk, what do we have to do today? SQUAWK

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:

-Ew!

And here is our treasure chest, my hearties -

and when you win back my jewels from Captain Sinker,

we'll put them in here to keep them safe from her, OK?

If you want this, you'll have to win it - and it won't be easy.

Well, we are ready for the challenge, Sinker. So, bring it on!

The first game is...

The aim of the game is to fill all six holes in the whirlpool.

All you have to do is collect the cannonballs

and roll them down the ramp and past the fish.

But be careful - the whirlpool will be spinning

and Cook and Line will be trying to stop you!

And here is one of the soft cannonballs

that you have to collect from way over there in the crates.

Bring them back to the ramp and then roll them down into the holes,

but do look out, because Cook and Line will be messing around

with their fishy shenanigans, trying to put you off.

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.

-Elaha, are you ready?

-Yes.

-I'll give you that ball.

-Are we ready to play?

-Arr-harr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

BELL RINGS And they're off! That's it.

Is that the first one in? Can we get it in, Elaha?

Oh, no, just missed. Go collect another one.

Come on, team. Six holes to fill.

First one's in!

Five more to get.

And another one! Yes! Four more to get.

We're off to a flying start. Good work, team.

Is it going in?

No, it's off the other side of the whirlpool!

-Look out for those fish!

-Cook, you can fling fish better than that!

Here we go... Oh, never mind.

Good one, Hamza!

This time, try putting it at the top and give it a roll.

Agh! There are fish everywhere!

Is it going in?

Yeah! That's in!

Good tactics! Well done!

-Yeah!

-And another one!

-Oh, another one!

I am ready, I am ready...

Is that going in? Yes! Brilliant work! One more to get.

Never mind, try again.

Oh, is it going in? Can it bounce off that fish?

And it's in! CHEERING

-Oh!

-We've done it! Well done, my hearties.

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

What a crazy game!

Captain Sinker wanted Cook to fling fish onto the whirlpool,

but the Swashbucklers didn't mind.

It was Line who was put off by it.

There are fish everywhere!

The cannonballs kept finding the holes

and the Swashbucklers even managed to play some snooker,

knocking one ball into another and into a hole!

You got all six in,

so I'm pleased to say, you win!

CHEERING

Well done, Swashbucklers.

You've won our first jewel. Good work.

So, Captain Sinker - you know the rule.

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

-Oh, fine. It's not even my colour.

-CHEERING

Yeah! Here it comes! Whoo-hoo!

Oh, look. It's the sparkly white one.

There you go. Pop it in the chest for me.

Good girl. Let's have a big cheer, yeah!

CHEERING

Captain Sinker, we only need four more of those jewels

and then one of you naughty pirates will have to walk the plank!

-AUDIENCE:

-Eugh!

-Ugh.

I thought I told you two to make me a new flag.

Remember? Something really different and unusual.

We've actually already thought of a few ideas.

Take a look at this one I made.

I call it "A Pirate Ship At Night Time"

It's just a plain black flag. It's not very unusual at all.

Line, have you come up with something a bit more eye-catching?

Of course. I call this, "A White Kitten In The Snow"

I can't see a kitten!

Oh, sorry. It's the wrong way round.

Oh, dear!

Looks like Cook and Line have got their work cut out!

But not before we play another game against them. Squawk, what's next?

The second game is...

The aim of this game is to make a picture

that matches what the pirate is wearing.

All you have to do is run through the giant barrel,

find the dressing-up bits and bring them back to make your picture.

But be careful - Cook or Line will be trying to make you tumble.

CHEERING

And here is Line, wearing the six items you need to collect.

So, we're looking for some shell deely boppers,

-pineapple sunglasses...

-Ooh.

-..a plaited beard...

-Eh-heh.

-..a skate earring...

-Oh.

..a blue and white anchor shirt

and a green frog.

-Hiya, Gem.

-Hiya, Frog!

Those six items are through the tumbly barrel

in the crates over there, but do look out,

because Cook is spinning that tumbly barrel,

which probably will make you tumble.

Abdul Ghani, you going first for me? Brilliant.

Are we ready to play?

Arr-harr!

Swashbucklers, away! BELL RINGS

That's it, run across.

Ooh, great knee slide!

That's it, well done.

A little tumble. Good work, on the board.

That was brilliant.

Line, throw some fish into the barrel!

Watch out for the fish, Hamza! Oh, no!

That's it, well done.

Off you go. Brilliant.

We've got the shirt, we've got the frog. Four more items to collect.

We're looking for the shell deely boppers, the pineapple glasses

and we're looking for the skate earring.

We've got the deely boppers, brilliant.

That's on the board. Great.

OK, we're doing really well.

We need two more pieces back.

Off you go, well done.

We need the plaited beard and the skate earring.

Good work. Go back for the last one.

Keep going, keep going.

We've got the last ten seconds coming up. Come on!

Oh, they only need one more!

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

We're looking for the skate earring!

..Three, two, one... BELL RINGS

Oh, time is up. Hamza, you found it. Brilliant, but not in time.

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

I've never seen such a topsy-turvy tumbly barrel!

Abdul Ghani started off in style with a knee slide.

Later, Al Hussein went into the barrel one way

and came out another, doing a roly-poly.

It was a close one, but with the skate earring still needed

to finish the picture, I'm sorry to say, you lose.

Oh, never mind, my hearties. You tried really hard, but don't worry.

We could still win that jewel back later in the final game, OK?

Aw, what a shame(!)

Well, here's something you might find useful, Gem!

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

What have we got here? A white flag? What's that for?

SINKER LAUGHS

Pirates wave a white flag when they surrender and give up!

So, it looks like you're giving up, Gem!

Hmph. You and your pirates have got another thing coming,

if you think we're giving up!

We will never surrender!

We'll just have to play another game then, won't we?

Right, I'm off to see if Cook and Line are making my new flag.

Now remember, the captain wanted something different, unusual,

and unlike any other pirate flag.

What else does it need? Ooh, I know! We could paint my face...

That's a great idea! I'll get the face paints!

Don't...move.

Ta-dah!

No, I meant paint my face on the flag,

-not paint on my face!

-Oh.

-Get me something to wipe it off!

-Er...

Oh, no! The flag! It's a complete mess!

-What are we going to do?

-Um... I know!

We can cover the messy bits with glitter,

so it'll look all bright and sparkly!

-Ah, good idea! Pass me the glue.

-Now, remember - not too much.

We don't want to make it even messier.

Right, just a little bit...

Oh, no! The flag! It's totally ruined!

It's OK, we can save it. We just need to add the glitter.

Thoughts?

Um, it's a bit more "Soggy Roger" than "Jolly Roger".

Right, you two. I hope my new flag's ready.

-The captain's coming! What are we going to do?

-Um...hide?

Glad they lost that one.

Up you get.

Show me the flag.

Ta-dah...

Cook and Line, that is absolutely...

..perfect!

It's bold, unusual and unlike any other flag!

Well done, boys!

Take it out on deck and hoist it up!

Yes, Captain!

-SHE GASPS

-What have you done to my flag?

Made it into two flags?

Those pirates are very silly.

We want to win back the next four of my jewels from them,

so I need to make sure that you're ready for the Shipwreck Rummage

by doing the Swashbuckle salute. Let me see you all marching!

Put your hands on your hearts.

Here we go. Eye-patch!

Eye-patch!

-Pirate hat!

-Pirate hat!

Swashbuckle cheer...

Arr-harr!

Fantastic.

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, my hearties.

We need to find four more jewels

to make sure one of those pirates walk the plank.

Let me show you where they're hiding.

Up on the top deck, the red one is in one of the birds' nests.

On the middle deck, the blue jewel is in the baskets of sea creatures.

And the purple jewel is in the crates of rats and mice.

And down on the lower deck, the green jewel is in the rope store.

Hamza and Al Hussein, you're first. Which colour are you going for?

-Red.

-So, you're going for the red jewel up in the crow's nest?

-Yes.

-Are we ready to play?

-Arr-harr!

-Then Swashbucklers, away!

BELL RINGS

Let's win back these jewels!

So, Hamza and Al Hussein are off into the shipwreck

and Line is tipping pearls down the stairs!

Well done, boys. Don't let those naughty pirates put you off.

This will slow you down!

Hamza is first into the tunnel.

Now, he needs to stretch up and get that jewel.

He's got it, he's got it!

Well done, boys. They've got the red one.

-Where next?

-Purple!

-OK, let's wait for the boys.

The boys have to get back to the chest

before their team-mates can go,

so quick as you can, Al Hussein and Hamza!

That's it, boys. Quickly, Hamza.

You're doing really well! And off you go!

Let's pop it in the chest. Good work.

So, that's the red safely back where it belongs

and now, it's up to Abdul Ghani and Elaha

to climb up to the rats and mice, where the purple can be found.

-Yes, they've got it!

-They've got the purple one.

-Where are you going next, boys?

-The blue!

-The blue one, OK.

So, back the way you went before and off you go!

Brilliant, well done.

Two back, two more to go. And the tentacle is halfway to the chest!

Hamza and Al Hussein are making their way across the middle deck.

-Come and play catch with me!

-There's no time to play catch, Cook!

It's not in there, boys. It's in one of the baskets of sea creatures.

Remember, it's the blue one they're looking for. Time is running out.

-They must find this jewel!

-45 seconds left!

Yes, they've got it!

OK, they found the blue one.

You'll have to get the green one from the rope store, OK?

It's up to Elaha and Abdul Ghani to get the last jewel.

It's in the rope store.

But that's going to make it harder to find!

It must be in there somewhere!

Yes, they have it! Now, back to the chest, Swashbucklers -

as quickly as you can!

-Eight, seven...

-Oh, I can't watch!

Five, four...

CHEERING

Well done, Swashbucklers! We just made it. Brilliant.

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

Phew! That was a close one!

With four jewels to find,

Hamza took the red one from right under Captain Sinker's nose.

The purple was found in the rats and mice

and after playing headers with Cook, the blue was found, too.

That just left the green in the rope store

and with a frantic dash to the chest, you made it just in time.

Swashbucklers, you win!

CHEERING

Well done, my hearties!

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

So, now I can hand them out for you to hold on to for me.

-There you go, Hamza.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome. Elaha.

-Thank you.

-You're very welcome. A red one for you there, Al Hussein.

-Thank you.

-And a purple for you, Abdul Ghani.

-Thank you very much.

You are so welcome. How polite! And a blue one for me.

Let's hear it for my Swashbucklers! CHEERING

We've got all five of my jewels. You know what it's time for?

One of those naughty pirates has to walk the plank.

But who's it going to be? Let's spin the wheel to see. Off we go!

Let's have a big spin.

Go!

Who will it be?

Cook with the white hat,

or Line with the red bandanna,

or Captain Sinker, with that black hat?

It looks like it's going to be...

It's Cook!

CHEERING, COOK SOBS

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

-ALL:

-Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank!

SPLAT!

CHEERING

Urrrgh!

It's so good to see those naughty pirates covered in slime.

We'll see you next time, for more Swashbuckle!

CHEERING
