The Creak 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!

Ahoy, there, my hearties, and welcome to Swashbuckle.

-AUDIENCE:

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

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Are you ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

-Great! Me too.

Now, Captain Sinker is off on her holidays,

and I wonder what she's doing today.

Oh! He-he!

LAUGHTER

Dah!

SHE SIGHS

Ah!

SHE SIGHS

Argh!

Oh, Captain Sinker's there, relaxing on her holiday.

There's no time to relax around here.

We need to win back all of my jewels,

and strict Captain Captain is guarding them.

-Can you see her anywhere? AUDIENCE:

-Boo!

Oh, stop! I'm so sleepy!

I was kept awake all night by an annoying creaking sound!

Creak! Creak! Creak!

There it is again! So annoying!

WHISTLE BLOWS

Cook, Line!

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain Chief Admiral Pirate

Tremendous And Incredibly Nasty - the Third.

-I've told you, call me Captain...

-Creak!

-Sh!

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain Creak Sh!

-No!

-Creak!

-Shh, quiet!

That annoying creaking sound has kept me awake all night.

Go and find out where it's coming from. Stop it!

-Creak! Creak! Creak!

-BOTH:

-Yes, Captain Captain!

Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!

I hope that annoying creaking sound

doesn't put us off playing our games today.

Squawk, it's time to meet today's team.

Playing today, we've got Henry!

CHEERING

Welcome aboard to my newest team of Swashbucklers,

here to help me win back my jewels from Captain Captain.

I need to make sure you're ready for the challenge,

so let's do the Swashbuckle Salute. Let me see you all marching!

Put your hand on your hearts!

-Here we go! Eye patch. AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat. AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

We're ready. Now gather around, because this is our treasure chest.

So when you win back all of my jewels,

we can put them in here to keep an eye on them.

I'm tired, and I'm extra grumpy!

So I'm in no mood for you to win any of my jewels!

Creak! Creak!

Even if you are tired, Captain Captain,

we are ready to win back the jewels, aren't we, team?

-AUDIENCE:

-Yeah!

Squawk, what's the first game?

The first game is...

The aim of the game is to build a statue of me!

All you have to do is cross the rock pool

to collect the pieces from the other side.

But be careful of Cook and Line,

because they'll be trying to block your path.

Go for it, Swashbucklers!

Thank you, Squawk. And look, here's your picture.

We have to find six more pieces to build your statue.

They're at the other side of the stepping stones,

over there in those crates.

Swashbucklers, look out. There are pesky pirates about.

Line is flinging fish, and Cook is...

um, having a shower with a barrel of balls.

If they do make you fall in, don't worry.

You do have to go back to the side that you're coming from.

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.

-Joel and Ava, will you go first for me? BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Are we ready to play? AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

BELL RINGS

Oh, gosh, it's flying balls everywhere, Cook!

Here we go.

Come on, team! Oh, no!

He's quick, but he's in!

Good work, Ava. Good girl.

OK, Joel, try again.

Oh, he's going very quickly.

Oh, don't bash into Ava!

That's it.

Oh, oh, oh!

Wow, he's super fast!

Joel, you were flying across then!

Brilliant!

Well done, Henry.

Bring that piece back

as quick as you can.

Oh, it's very wobbly.

Keep going.

Drop some fish, Cook!

Come on, Henry!

Well done!

Off you go, Joel.

Brilliant, Henry, well done!

Come on, Heaven!

Got a very fiddly... Oh, no!

Joel's too speedy and fell in!

Back the other side.

Well... Oh, no, and Heaven's in!

Come on, we're running out of time!

Well done! Off you go, Henry.

That was a very spectacular fall out.

Well done, Joel. You have to wait

for the other wings to come back.

Oh, you're going to run out of time!

We need those pieces back!

We're running out of time!

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...

No, try again, Heaven!

..five, four, three, two, one!

Oh, time is up.

Never mind, my hearties.

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

That was a slippery game of Stepping Stones.

Speedy Joel hopped, skipped and tumbled his way across the pool.

The Swashbucklers managed to grab all the pieces,

but couldn't get them all back in time.

It was a close one, Gem, but sorry, it's a lose.

Oh, Swashbucklers!

Great effort, but we didn't win back our first jewel.

But it doesn't matter, because we can win it back a little bit later.

WHISTLE BLOWS

After the day I'm having, I think I deserve to keep the jewel!

Creak! Creak!

Well, Captain Captain, we could still win that jewel back.

If we get all five,

one of you naughty pirates will have to walk the plank

into the stinky Ship's Mess.

-AUDIENCE:

-Eurgh!

Hello?

Creaky-creak?

-Hello!

-Creaky-creak!

Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Creak! Creak!

You must have heard the creak just then.

-I did hear it!

-Me, too!

Yes! But where's it coming from?

Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!

I have absolutely no idea!

Nor me. It's a real puzzle.

I think I know where that creak is coming from!

Right, you naughty pirates. We want to play another game.

-Squawk, what's next?

-The second game is...

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!

Good luck, Swashbucklers!

Thank you, Squawk.

Here are the soft toy mice and rats

you have to collect to play the game.

You need to put the little mice into the little holes,

and the big holes are for the big rats.

But do look out, there are pesky pirates lurking about,

dressed up as an octopus!

Look at Cook spinning around there!

Henry and Ava, you're going to be doing the bouncing for me.

Brilliant. Over here, Heaven and Joel,

you collect the rats and mice.

Let me give you these ones to start you off.

All right, then, my hearties. Are we ready to play?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers away! BELL RINGS

Come on, then!

And everyone else can cheer them on! Come on!

That's a big throw.

Oh, catch!

Line put some in his barrel, Henry,

make sure you get them back.

Ava, look what's behind you.

Big throw. That's it, well done.

Wow! Look how far he threw that one!

Oh! Swashbuckler!

Ah! They got the lobster instead!

Line, we don't want the lobster!

You can have that one back, Line.

Big throw, Henry!

That's it, Heaven.

Start putting them into the holes here. That's it.

Wah! Look! Put this one in the hole!

Good idea, Line.

Yes, Cook, the lobster!

There you go, Joel. A few more.

Well done!

We're halfway now, Swashbucklers!

We've still got lots of holes to fill!

This is no time for sitting down, Cook.

OK, Heaven, go put some in the holes.

That's it! Good girl.

We've got loads of fish! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

We still need a few more rats and mice!

Look at all these rats!

So many rats!

They need the mice.

Bounce, Line, bounce!

Don't forget this one. They just need some mice!

Two rats, and four mice.

Come on, quickly, we're running out of time!

Ten, nine...

-AUDIENCE:

-Eight, seven, six, five, four, three...

They've done it! Ha-ha-ha!

Yes! Ha-ha-ha!

We just made it! Well done.

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

There might be some creaking on the ship,

but that didn't stop the Swashbucklers.

Henry had some huge throws.

And Ava rescued a lobster.

But it didn't belong with the rats and mice, and Joel soon sorted it.

Time was running out, but the board was filled just in time.

Well done, Gem!

It's a win!

Yes! Well done, Swashbucklers!

You've won back our first jewel.

Good job! So, Captain Captain, you know the rule.

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

I didn't even like that jewel, anyway.

-You can have it.

-Yeah!

CHEERING

Here's the purple jewel.

Oh, it's lovely.

There you go, Henry. Into the chest, please.

Good job, well done!

CHEERING

Now, let's see if my crew have found out where that creak is coming from!

Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!

-Hi, Cook!

-Oh!

-What's this amazing machiney-type thing?

It's my creak-ometer.

The light on the end flashes when it's near something that creaks!

Wow! Any luck?

No, not a single creak in the whole cabin.

Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!

You two must have found out where that creak's coming from by now!

Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!

The creak is coming from you, Captain Captain!

What?! Impossible!

Pirate captains don't creak!

You're right, Cook, it's the captain creaking!

Hello, Captain Creaking.

I am not Captain Creaking!

I am Captain Captain!

I think it's your knee that's creaking, Captain.

Line, we need emergency seaweed!

OK. Nee-naw, nee-naw!

Oh, no, anything but seaweed!

Yukitty, yukitty, yukitty, yuk.

But Captain, it has wonderful healing powers.

Oh, if you insist.

Yeah, wonderful, wonderful healing powers.

And it's really stinky, too.

Good job, boys!

The creaking's stopped!

Right, I'm off for a well-deserved creak-free nap.

Creak! Creak Creak! Creak!

What?!

Captain Captain, you're creaking everywhere!

Only one thing for it!

Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Ah-ah-ah-ah!

Job done!

Oh-oh-oh! You've done it, boys!

The creaking's stopped!

High five!

I'm OK!

Move along!

LAUGHTER

All right, then, Swashbucklers.

You have to win back four of my jewels

to make one of those naughty pirates walk the plank.

To get us ready for the Shipwreck Rummage,

let's do the Swashbuckle Salute one more time!

Let me see you all marching. Put your hands on your hearts.

-Eye patch! AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch!

-Pirate hat! AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat!

-Swashbuckle cheer! AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Yeah, bring it on!

It's the...

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.

CHEERING

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

in the Shipwreck Rummage. Let me show you where they are.

On the top deck, we have the green jewel

in one of the bird's nests.

Then on the middle deck, the red jewel is in the pool of pearls.

And on the lower deck, the blue jewel is in the hammocks.

And the white jewel is in the rope store.

Henry and Heaven, you're going to go first. Which colour?

-BOTH:

-Red!

-In the pool of pearls?

Are we ready to play?

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers, away!

Four jewels in the shipwreck.

And whoa! Those pirates mean business today!

Keep on climbing, Henry and Heaven!

Henry's made it to the middle deck, but where's Heaven?

Stick together, Swashbucklers!

Quick, Heaven! Get swimming for that red jewel!

Oh! It's right at the bottom!

Henry's close! And he's got it!

Yes, they've got the red one!

So, Joel and Ava, where are you going next?

-On the...

-The blue one? OK.

Quickly, Swashbucklers!

We need to get that jewel back to the chest!

OK! Well done, Henry! Come on! Come on, good girl!

Brilliant. Off you go to the hammocks. Brilliant!

And let's pop it in the chest, in the middle.

-Yeah!

-Three more jewels to find.

Line's not looking. Grab the blue!

-Joel's got it!

-I've got it!

Henry, grab the blue jewel.

Go, go, go! Well done.

There are fish and pearls everywhere!

Henry and Heaven are looking for the white jewel.

They've found it! Line didn't put them off.

You have to go to the top to the bird's nest

for the green one.

Come on back as quick as you can! Go, go!

Joel and Ava need to get the green,

but it's all the way at the top of the ship,

and the octopus is getting close to the chest!

Into the tunnel, Swashbucklers!

-Ava's grabbed it!

-I've got it!

-Yes!

Now take that jewel home!

Come on! Down the slide!

And into the treasure chest!

Yes! Ha-ha-ha-ha, yes!

Well done, Swashbucklers! That was fantastic.

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

Four jewels to find,

and the Swashbucklers have winning on their minds.

It was a race to find the red jewel in the pearls.

Line was distracted in the hammocks,

and then lost the white jewel in the rope store.

Joel and Ava darted up to the top deck

and grabbed the green from under Captain Captain's nose.

The jewels are back where they belong!

Well done, Gem!

It's a win!

CHEERING

You did it! Well done, my hearties.

Thank you for winning back all of my jewels.

I'd like to hand them out for you to hold on to.

There you go, Henry.

There you go, Heaven.

And there you go, Ava.

-And Joel.

-Thank you.

And the blue one, as always, for me.

Let's hear it for my Swashbucklers!

CHEERING

So now we've got all five of my jewels, you know what it's time for.

One of those naughty pirates have to walk the plank!

But who is it going to be?

Joel, let's spin the wheel to see.

Off we go. Big spin.

Well done. Will it be Cook with the white hat,

Captain Captain with the black hat,

or Line with the red bandana?

It's going to be...

Line!

It's always me!

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

-AUDIENCE CHANTS:

-Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Argh!

-AUDIENCE:

-Yeah!

Yeah! Ha-ha!

Oh, poor Line is always covered in slime, but green does suit him.

We'll see you soon for more Swashbuckle!

CHEERING

-ALL:

-# 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! AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harrr!
