Swashpuppets 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?

-Arrr-harrr!

-And will you help me

-to win back my jewels from those very naughty pirates?

-Arrr-harrr!

Brilliant! Now, where is that Captain Sinker?

-Have you seen her anywhere?

-AUDIENCE:

-Boooo!

-There she is.

You call that booing? I'll show you booing. Boo!

Er, Sinker, why are you holding your nose?

It's making your voice sound very strange.

Because, Gem, it's sock wash day,

and it's very important pirates keep their socks clean.

The only problem is, it makes the whole ship smell of stinky socks.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ewwwww!

Well, my crew should be finished by now. Cook, Line!

BOTH: Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!

BOTH: Yes, Captain Sinker, sir? I mean "ma'am".

What are you doing?

We washed the socks and now we're drying them.

Makes me dizzy.

LAUGHTER

Well, they look dry to me. Now match them up into pairs.

You know how socks go together in pairs?

We know, Captain, but there don't seem to be any pairs left.

We must have lost some in the wash.

Oh, you two are a...

Oh, you're a...

-A right pair?

-Yes, Gem, thank you. A right pair.

-LAUGHTER

-Oh, you silly pirates.

It's time to think about winning back my jewels.

Squawk, let's meet today's Swashbucklers.

-Playing today, we've got Jaden.

-CHEERING

Jaden is six and plays football.

Perhaps it'll be a win for him at full-time today.

His Swashbuckle name is Jolly Roger Jaden.

-Meet Logan.

-CHEERING

Logan is five years old and loves dinosaurs.

Maybe it'll be a megasaurus win for him.

His Swashbuckle name is Lobster Logan.

-Next, it's Georgia.

-CHEERING

Georgia is six and likes playing with her friends,

so it's a good job she's got her shipmate with her.

Her Swashbuckle name is Cannonball Georgia.

-Finally, we've got Ibukun.

-CHEERING

Ibukun is six and loves baking.

Maybe she'll cook up some trouble for Captain Sinker.

Her Swashbuckle name is Crab Claw Ibukun.

Welcome aboard the Scarlet Squid, Swashbucklers.

You're here to help me win back all of my jewels,

but I need to make sure you're ready,

so let's do the Swashbuckle Salute.

Let me see you all marching.

Put your hands on your hearts. Here we go!

-Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

Well done, me hearties, you're ready for the challenge.

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

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!

CHEERING

And this is our treasure chest where we'll put all the jewels

when we win them back from Captain Sinker.

You'll never get your hands on my treasure!

Oh! Eurgh.

-The first game is very tricky.

-Well, we'll see about that.

Bring it on!

The first game is Wacky Whirlpool.

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 the soft cannonball

that you need to collect from the crates.

Bring them back over here to the ramp and roll them into a hole.

But look out, because Cook and Line will try to get in your way.

You have as long as it takes for the octopus

to reach out and close the treasure chest to play the game.

Ibukun, I'll hand you that one to start you off.

-Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrr-harr!

Then Swashbucklers away! Here we go.

That's it. Roll it down. Give it a push.

That's it, brilliant. Well done!

Ooooh... That was a very close one. Really close there.

Oh, it went in! Brilliant!

Ibukun, it bounced back in again. That's fantastic!

And we got another one! What a great start. Two in already.

-Doing really well. Four more to get.

-Catch some in your net, Cook!

Oh, that was good, Logan.

Oooh, it just missed.

Jaden, see if you can get it in by Cook's feet.

Oh, he kicked it away! He's a cheeky one.

I can catch this one!

Well done, Logan! You got another one in. Good work.

Oh, that one between Cook's legs - that was funny.

Three more to get. Hey, Cook!

Fling some fish, Line!

Argh!

And another one's in! Good work!

Two more to get, Swashbucklers.

And another one's gone in! Amazing!

One more to get. We've got plenty of time. Oh, Cook!

Oh, very good.

Come on, let's get it. I know it's tricky -

it's in the middle - but I think we can do it.

Get flinging, Line!

Would you like another fish, Cook?

Oh, Cook, you're standing right in the way!

We have 30 seconds. Is it going...? Oh, that was so close, Jaden.

Oh, so close!

Not quite!

Come on, you're nearly there.

Is it going in? No.

Coming up to the last ten seconds, come on!

-GEM AND AUDIENCE:

-Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five...

-Ye-ee-ees!

-Oh, no.

-Brilliant! Come over here.

-CHEERING

That was fantastic, well done.

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

Well, the Swashbucklers sure had their eye on the ball.

The first two went in very quickly,

but naughty Cook started playing football.

With only one hole left, the Swashbucklers missed,

and missed,

and missed again.

But with a lucky rebound, you win the game!

CHEERING

Yes! Well done, Swashbucklers.

You've won back our first jewel.

So, Captain Sinker, you know the rule.

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

Oh! SHE SOBS

Eurgh.

All right.

Here it comes. Yeah! Ha-ha.

Oh, it's the green one.

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

Well done. Brilliant!

Ha-ha! Now we only need four more of those

and then one of the naughty pirates

-has to walk the plank into the smelly ship's mess.

-Ewww!

"Hi, I'm Cook. Who wants some seaweed soup?"

"Hi, I'm Line.

"Oops, I felt over!" Ha-ha-ha.

-That's actually a really good impression of me.

-Thanks!

-What are you doing?

-Well, we knew you were angry

that you lost some of your socks,

so we came up with a use for all the ones left over.

BOTH: Sock puppets! LAUGHTER

"I'm Cook. I'm the best pirate ever!"

"Hi, I'm Line. Well, I'm not actually Line. I'm a sock."

Stop messing about with those silly sock puppets and do some work!

-BOTH: Yes, Captain Sinker, sir.

-He means "ma'am".

-I mean "ma'am".

Blergh!

Eurgh! Well, it'll be more than just your socks

that are covered in slime later if one of you pirates

has to walk the plank when we win back all of my jewels.

So, Squawk, what's the next game?

The second game is Tumbly Barrel.

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 Cook wearing the six items you need to collect.

So we're looking for an explorer hat,

some pineapple sunglasses,

a plaited beard,

a feather earring,

a blue anchor shirt,

-and a seagull.

-Caw-caw! Caw-caw!

And they are through the tumbly barrel

over there in the crates. You have to collect them

and then bring them back, but look out,

because Line is spinning that tumbly barrel,

and it might make you tumble.

So, Ibukun, you're going to go first for me.

Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrr-harrr!

Then Swashbucklers away!

Come on, let's cheer them on, everyone! Let's encourage them.

Well done, Ibukun. Up you get. Keep going.

Good girl!

We're looking for the explorer hat, the pineapple glasses...

Brilliant. We've got the anchor shirt. Fantastic.

Out you come. Nearly there. Brilliant!

Georgia, off you go. Well done, let's get it on the board.

Good work.

-Come on, Georgia!

-THEY CHANT:

-Georgia, Georgia!

Throw some fish in!

He's putting some fish in the barrel.

That's not going to help things at all, is it? Oh, Cook!

Keep going, Georgia. You've got the seagull.

OK, Jaden, off you go. Oh, we dropped the seagull!

That's it, we've got it. It nearly flew away, ha-ha!

Well done. Good work, Jaden.

Come on, you're doing really well. Keep going.

Spin the barrel!

The feather earring or the plaited beard.

Do you want to go? Off you go. Lovely. Good boy.

That's it. Well done, nearly there!

There are still three more to find.

Or the feather earring.

I think those Swashbucklers are trying to help.

That's it - yes, you had it! There's the earring!

-Logan, you had the feather earring!

-Logan!

-THEY CHANT:

-Logan! Logan!

Yes, you got the plaited beard. Brilliant.

Come on, that's it, Logan. Keep going.

We're running out of time. As quick as you can!

Ten seconds.

-ALL:

-Nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three,

two, one...

Time is up, Swashbucklers!

Come on over here, Logan. Well done.

Come back, Ibukun. You did really well.

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

Ibukun got them off to a flying start,

and the seagull nearly flew away from Georgia.

Logan wasn't to be rushed.

He looked...looked...

and looked again. He finally found the earring,

but put it back. With Cook flinging in a basket of fish,

the Swashbucklers ran out of time.

Sorry, Gem - you lose!

Aw, never mind, Swashbucklers. That was really tough.

But we could still try to win back all of my jewels later, OK?

Oh, Gem!

I've still got my jewel, but to show there's no hard feelings,

I've got a little present for you.

Hmm, OK. What is it?

Oh, hang on a second.

Eurgh, it's a stripy, smelly sock!

Euuurrgh!

Cook and Line must have forgotten to wash that one.

You can make a stinky sock puppet of you. Ha-ha-ha!

I don't think so. And anyway, you'll be the smelly one later

if you have to walk the plank into the smelly ship's mess.

Oh, I've got a feeling that's not going to happen.

Right, I'm going below deck to see if Cook and Line

have got rid of those silly sock puppets.

Ha-ha, well, they didn't win that game. Hee-hee.

-Ah! What is all this?!

-Hiya, Captain.

-Hiya, Captain!

BOTH: Welcome to Cook and Line's sock puppet show extravaganza.

Cook and Line, get up this instant.

BOTH: Yes, Captain.

The real Cook and Line!

BOTH: Yes, Captain?

-What do you think you're playing at?

-We know you told us to...

"Stop messing around with those sock puppets and do some work."

But we knew what you actually meant was...

"Perform a surprise sock puppet show with those amazing sock puppets."

Ta-da!

-Absolutely not.

-Oh, please, Captain.

I even made a sock puppet of Gem.

"I'm Gem. I'm going to win back all my jewels."

Stop all this nonsense!

We got you ice cream.

One quick show.

There's my ice cream.

It's seaweed flavour.

This show is called Swashbuckle.

Swashbuckle...

Ahoy there, shipmates, and welcome to Swashbuckle!

Boo to you, Gem. Shouty, shouty, shouty. I'm really grumpy!

Ha-ha, what a horrible pirate.

Hang on - that's me!

I'm not like that. Out of my way! I'll do this much better.

Hello, everybody. I'm Captain Sinker,

and I'm very nice and kind.

-Wow, Captain, you really sound like her.

-Aw, thanks.

So what happens at the end?

Someone has to walk the plank into the ship's mess.

I'm not going in. Line?

-We can use the seaweed ice cream as the ship's mess.

-Great idea!

-BOTH: Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

-Oh, I don't want to!

-Walk the plank!

-Oh, it's so smelly.

Whooooaaa...

-Oh!

-Oh, Line, careful!

-LAUGHTER

-It's always great to see

one of those naughty pirates get covered in slop and slime!

CHEERING

OK, Swashbucklers. You've won back one of my jewels.

We need to find four more to make sure those naughty pirates

walk the plank into the smelly ship's mess.

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

So let me see you all marching. Put your hands on your hearts.

-Here we go! Eye patch.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat.

-AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

Fantastic.

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

Swashbucklers, it's time for the shipwreck rummage.

You've won back one of my jewels.

Let me show you where the other four are hiding.

Up on the top deck, we have the blue one in the bird's nest.

Then on the middle deck, we have the purple jewel over in the laundry.

And on the lower deck, the red jewel is in one of the hammocks,

and the white jewel is in the rope store.

So, Ibukun and Logan, you're going first for me.

-Which colour will you go for?

-White.

-In the rope store?

-So, are we ready to play?

-ALL: Arrr-harr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

They're off, and Line is quick to empty a basket on them.

Who's up there? Line?

Ibukun is making her way straight to the rope store.

I don't think you're going to find that jewel!

Unlucky, Cook! She already has.

You've got the white one, so which one are you going for next?

-That one!

-The blue? Right at the top? OK.

That's it. Then go through the cannonballs. Off you go, brilliant!

Well done! Good work.

Georgia and Jaden are heading to the top deck!

They make it past the cannonballs and are climbing fast!

Don't let that silly Cook put you off. Up, up, up they go!

Hey, Swashbucklers. Up here!

Keep going, team!

Oh, no. Line's throwing everything he's got at them!

He's trying to slow them down,

but Georgia's through and into the tunnel.

Stretch up, Georgia. Yes! She's got the blue jewel!

-Brilliant. They've got the blue one. Where are you going next?

-Purple!

Purple in the laundry? OK.

That's it, well done, Georgia.

Good work and into the chest. Well done, Georgia. Off you go!

There's not much time left.

Here's Ibukun and Logan again.

Whoops, careful!

Ibukun's back up and they're hurtling towards the laundry -

and the purple jewel.

Ibukun's gone straight for the sock. She knows where the jewel is.

-OK, so they've got the purple one, so you have to get the red one.

-Go!

Wait, you have to come back. Come on, that's it, Logan.

Keep going, keep going.

Off you go! Oopsie, up you jump!

Georgia and Jaden have arrived at the hammocks

as the purple is placed in the chest.

And Georgia's got the red. There's no stopping her now!

Come in, into the chest. That's it.

ALL: Yay!

Fantastic, well done.

-SHE SOBS

-That was really great.

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

What a rummage! The Swashbucklers were fast on their feet.

The white wasn't any trouble.

The bird's nest held the blue.

Ibukun went for the sock - another fast find!

And Georgia grabbed the red in double-quick time.

It's a victory - the Swashbucklers have won!

CHEERING

Well done, Swashbucklers. You've won back my jewels.

I'd like to share them out with you to hold on to for me.

-There you go, Logan.

-Thank you.

-There you go, Georgia.

-Thank you.

-One for you, Jaden.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-Ibukun, that's yours!

-Thank you.

-And the blue one for me.

So, let's have a big cheer for my Swashbucklers.

CHEERING

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

One of these naughty pirates has to walk the plank,

but who's it going to be?

Let's spin the wheel to see. Off you go, Ibukun.

Let's have a big spin!

Will it be Cook with the white hat?

Line with the red bandana?

Or Captain Sinker with the black hat?

It's...

Captain Sinker!

CHEERING

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

ALL: Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

CHEERING

Brilliant, ha-ha!

Eugh, looks like you'll need to clean

more than your sock today, Captain Sinker.

We'll see you next time for more Swashbuckle! Ha-ha!

CHEERING

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

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

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

Swashbuckle cheer!

Arrr-harrr!
