# Hey-ho, Swashbucklers, go

# Take on the pirates, go, go, go. #

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

Ahoy, there, me hearties. Welcome to Swashbuckle!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr.

I'm Gem, and it's great to have you all aboard!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Are you ready for our rip-roaring pirate adventure?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Brilliant! Now, Captain Sinker is on her holidays.

I wonder what she's up to.

Buzzzzzzzzz!

Buzzzzzzzzz!

Buzzzzzzzzz!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ha-ha-ha!

Ha-ha. Captain Sinker may be on her holiday,

but there's no time for me to relax.

I need to win back all of my jewels and

strict Captain Captain is guarding them.

-Can you see her anywhere? AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

-Oh, there she is.

-Stop that booing!

Feeep!

Cook! Line!

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain Chief Admiral Pirate Tremendous And Incredibly

Nasty - the Third.

I've told you, call me Captain Captain for short.

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain Captain For Short!

Moving on, the Pirate Handbook.

Now, we all know rule 28, don't we?

-Great rule!

-Classic!

All captains must have a first mate.

-BOTH:

-Oh, yeah!

-What's a first mate?

-The first mate is a very important job.

If the captain - that's me -

is unable to do her captain duties,

then the first mate becomes the captain.

-BOTH:

-No way!

Today, I'm going to pick a first mate.

They must be brave...

..clever...

..and irrepressible.

-What does that word mean?

-No idea!

May the best pirate win!

-BOTH:

-Yay!

-BOTH:

-Grrr!

A competition between Cook and Line? This can only end badly.

Right, Squawk, it's time to meet today's Swashbucklers.

Playing today, we have Issy!

Issy is eight years old and likes playing football with her dad.

Her Swashbuckle name is Cabin Girl Issy.

This is Harley. Harley is seven years old and has five pet dogs.

His Swashbuckle name is Skipper Harley.

Here's Frankie.

Frankie is also seven and loves playing video games.

His Swashbuckle name is Fearless Frankie.

Finally, meet Rhys.

Rhys is eight and enjoys playing board games,

especially Snakes And Ladders.

Let's hope the team are s-s-super s-s-speedy today!

Rhys's Swashbuckle name is Doubloon Rhys.

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

Welcome aboard, Swashbucklers!

They're here to help me win back my jewels from Captain Captain.

I need to make sure they are ready for the adventure,

so let's do the Swashbuckle Salute.

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-harrr!

Brilliant! Now, look over here, because this is our treasure chest.

When we get all of the jewels back,

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

I don't think so, Gem.

Cook and Line are desperate to do their very best in the games

today. You don't have a chance!

Well, you know what they say, Captain.

Pride comes before a fall, so let's hope that you'll be falling

into the ship's mess very soon. Ha-ha!

Squawk, what's the first game?

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.

Have fun, Swashbucklers!

Thank you, Squawk. Here's one of the soft cannonballs you have to

collect from way over there in the crates.

Look out for the pesky pirates, because Cook will try to

catch them and Line is...oh! lifting weights with fish.

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.

Rhys, I'm going to hand that one to you to start you off, OK?

But not just yet, cos first I need to know,

-Swashbucklers, are we ready to play? AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

-Then, Swashbucklers, away!

-Ding-ding-ding!

-Off we go!

Let's get those jewels back.

Here we go.

That's it, line it up, Issy.

And into the holes.

Can we get the first one in

straightaway? Oh, come on! Come on!

Hey! Cook! Oh, you're a meanie!

Oh! They got one in!

Ready...go!

Oh, never mind, Rhys.

Excellent flinging, Line.

Yes, Issy! Well done! Three in!

And, oh, nearly another one.

That's it. Yes! Well done, Harley!

Only two more holes to fill.

-Oh, Cook!

-Good save, Cook!

Oh, Cook!

Only one more hole to fill.

Come on, Issy!

Yeah! We did it! Well done!

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

What a wild whirlpool, Swashbucklers.

The first two balls bumped into each

other and just missed the hole.

But the team soon had five balls.

Issy fired a final ball,

and got it in!

Great work, Gem, it's a win!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

-You did it! Well done, me hearties.

We've got back my first jewel.

So, Captain Captain, you know the rule!

-AUDIENCE:

-Send down a jewel!

I blame Cook and Line. How do I pick my first mate?

They're both as bad as each other!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

Here it is! It's the green one. There we go.

Brilliant! Rhys, will you pop it in the chest for me, please? Good boy!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

-Arrr-harrr! Yeah!

We only need four more of those jewels and then one of the naughty

pirates will have to walk the plank into the stinky ship's mess.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eurgh!

When the captain chooses ME as her first mate,

I'll be far too important to slop out, so it's your job.

Um, no, she's going to choose ME as her first mate,

so slopping out is YOUR job.

-No, it's your job.

-OK, OK, OK. I've got an idea.

Whoever's the tallest doesn't have to slop out.

Oh, look, it's me.

-Not any more!

-Eh, you can't use clothes!

-Who says so?

-Fine!

Now I am taller. Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha-ha!

I don't care who slops out, but I want it done now!

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain.

Well, as they're so distracted trying to find a first mate,

let's see if we can win another game.

Squawk, what's next?

The second game is Pirate Cannons.

The aim of the game is to knock over all ten targets.

All you have to do is collect the soft green cannonballs,

load them in the cannons and fire them.

But be careful, Cook and Line will be sneaky and try to stop you.

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

-Thank you, Squawk.

Here are the green squashy balls you have to collect to play the game.

Not the yellow and blue ones that the pesky pirates have

put in the baskets over there to try and confuse you.

Rhys and Harley, you're going to be firing the cannons for me.

Brilliant. Frankie and Issy, you can collect the balls.

There's one to start you off. Are we ready to play?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

-Then, Swashbucklers, away!

-Ding-ding-ding!

-That's it. Line the first one up.

Straight away, well done, Harley! Brilliant!

I'm trying my best!

That was a good try. Let's try again.

Oh, I did really well. Argh!

Yeah! Well done, we got another one.

-Why did you duck?

-Because I...

-It was your fault!

-Keep going.

Well done, Issy. Good work.

Yes! Brilliant!

Look how good at dancing I am.

Ha-ha-ha!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Quick! Yeah!

Oh, wow, Harley, that was awesome!

I'm going to prove I'm better than you at this.

I'm better than you!

-I'm better than you!

-I'm better than you!

Stop squabbling, you two!

I'm much better!

Well done!

That's it. Well done, Issy.

Yes! Brilliant!

You get out of the way right now!

I don't want you here!

Your squabbling's knocked over a target!

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Ten, nine...

-AUDIENCE:

-Eight, seven, six, five...

Come on, team! More to get!

-AUDIENCE:

-Three, two, one...

Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho! BELL RINGS

Just bounced off the wave. Never mind.

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

That was a close game of Pirate Cannons.

The Swashbucklers got off to a flying start,

working brilliantly as a team.

The targets just kept tumbling.

But there were two ships still standing when the bell rang.

Sorry, Gem. It's a lose!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

Oh, me hearties! That was really tricky, but don't worry,

we could still win that jewel back a little bit later.

Feeep!

Gem, I know you wanted a jewel, but I've got this for you instead.

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

What's this? Eurgh!

It is an old hat and, eurgh,

a yucky cleaning cloth!

Yes, you see, since I'm giving new roles to my crew,

I thought you might like one too.

You are now chief captain...

of cleaning out the ship's mess. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Thanks, but no, thanks, Captain!

I'll be saving that job for one of you,

-because you'll be heading in there soon enough.

-Unlikely.

Right, I need to decide who is going to be my first mate.

Time to set Cook and Line some real challenges.

-AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

-I was way better in that game.

-No, I was!

-I deserve to be the first mate.

-No, you don't.

-I'm the best and Captain Captain is...

-Silence!

-BOTH:

-Ooooh!

It is time...

for me to judge who shall be my first mate.

Round one.

Pirate skills. Mine, I can sniff out treasure!

Thank you.

-Cook, your turn.

-I can make the yummiest seaweed smoothie ever.

-Oh!

-Seaweedy!

Line, your turn!

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

I can catch the biggest, tastiest fish in record time. Observe.

Oh, oh, I got a bite. Ooh! It's a big one!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ha-ha-ha!

Argh, argh, catch of the day!

Round two.

My first mate should be able to sing as gloriously as me.

# Ah-ah-ah-ah!

# Ah-ah-ah-ah!

-SINGS HIGH:

-# Ah-Ah-Ah-Ahhhhh! #

-Thank you. Cook, your turn!

-Easy!

# Ah-ah-ah-arrr!

# Ah-ah-ah-arrr!

# Ah-ha-ha-arrr! #

I can sing better and higher.

-SINGS HIGH:

-# Ah-ah-ah-ah! # Ah-ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah... #

Arrgh!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ha-ha-ha-ha!

-Enough, enough, enough!

Round three. Pirate quiz.

Cook!

Which is most important -

looking after the ship or looking after a baby crab?

Baby crab! Baby crab!

And Line.

Which is my favourite thing -

precious jewels or seaweed?

-Baby crab! It's baby crab!

-No, it's seaweed, the captain loves seaweed.

Have a seaweed smoothie.

She doesn't want a seaweed smoothie,

I know the captain way better than you. Oops!

I've come to my decision.

My first mate is going to be...

..me!

My first mate is going to be me!

Because I can't trust either of you two!

And before you say anything,

I shall also be my second mate.

-Third mate?

-That too!

-Fourth mate?

-No!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ha-ha-ha-ha!

OK, me hearties, you've got to get four more of my jewels now, OK?

Before we do the Shipwreck Rummage,

let's do the Swashbuckle salute one more time.

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-harrr!

Arrr-harrr! We're ready!

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 Captain have hidden the jewels well,

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

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

OK, me hearties. You've got to find four of my jewels.

Let me show you where they're hiding on the treasure map here.

Up on the top deck we can find the red jewel in one of

Captain Captain's treasure chests. On the middle deck, we have the

blue jewel in the crates of rats and mice.

On the lower deck, we have the purple jewel in the hammocks

and the white jewel over in the rope stool.

Issy and Rhys, you're going first for me.

-Which colour are you going to go for? BOTH:

-Purple!

-All righty, then. Are we ready to play? AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

Here we go!

Oh, watch out for the beach balls!

It's a four-jeweller and Issy and

Rhys are making their way to the hammocks.

That's it, Rhys, dig through those fish!

-Keep searching!

-That's it!

Great teamwork, Issy and Rhys!

OK, they've found the purple one.

Where are you going next?

-The top one.

-Right, to the red? OK.

Hurry back, Swashbucklers.

Frankie and Harley are ready to go.

-Well done.

-The purple's home.

And Frankie and Harley are already at the washing.

-COOK:

-Oh, no, no. Go back.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't go this way.

'That's it! Quick as you can through the tunnel.'

This way!

And this way and this way!

Don't let Captain Captain put you off, Swashbucklers!

Look in the treasure chest!

Nothing here. Nothing here.

-Frankie's got the jewel!

-They've got it!

OK, they've got the red one.

-Where are you going next?

-White.

-The white one. OK.

Quick! We're running out of time!

Keep going!

Hurry, Harley and Frankie!

Get down the slide!

That's it, boys! Good work!

OK, off you go, Issy and Rhys.

Well done. Brilliant.

In the middle, that's it. Good work, boys.

The red jewel is back where it belongs.

Now to rescue the white.

Issy's found the jewel.

Now they've got the white one, boys,

you have to get the blue one for me,

-and we're running out of time, OK?

-Rhys has rescued a fish.

Oh, Rhys, you've got a fish as well! Ha-ha!

One jewel left to find now.

And Frankie and Harley are going

round the front of the ship.

Watch out for Captain Captain's barrel of balls.

-Found it!

-Lightning finding, Harley.

Now, quickly! Get it home.

We're running out of time!

That's it! Into the chest! Into the chest!

We've done it! Yeah!

-EVERYONE:

-Yah!

Well done, Swashbucklers. Squawk, you've got the bird's-eye view.

Over to you!

What first-rate rummaging, Swashbucklers!

Issy and Rhys worked as a cracking crew to find the purple.

And Frankie flew down with the red.

The white was whisked away by Issy. Harley found the blue

and got it back to the chest with seconds to spare.

It's a win!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

We did it! Well done, me hearties.

Thank you for winning back all of my jewels.

And now I can share them out for you to hold on to for me.

-There you go, Rhys.

-Thank you.

-There you go, Frankie.

-Thank you.

-And one for you, there, Harley.

-Thank you.

-And there you go, Issy.

-Thank you.

And the blue one, of course, for me.

Let's hear it for my Swashbucklers!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

So now we've got five jewels. What does that mean?

One of the naughty pirates has to walk the plank. That's right.

So, who's it going to be, Issy. Let's spin the wheel to see.

Big spin, Issy. Here we go.

Will it be Cook with the white hat?

Captain Captain with the black hat

or Line with the red bandanna?

It's going to be Cook!

-Yay!

-Yay!

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

-AUDIENCE:

-Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank!

Walk the plank!

-I'm the first one!

-Go on!

-On you go!

-It's extra smelly today.

-It's stinky!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Glop!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

-AUDIENCE:

-Eurgh!

Oh, it's good to see a pesky pirate back where

he belongs in the smelly ship's mess.

We'll see you soon for more Swashbuckle!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yay!

# 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!
