Sinker's Message 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? #

CHEERING

-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 I 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, and welcome to Swashbuckle.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ahoy.

I'm Gem, and it is great to have you all aboard the Scarlet Squid.

All ready for a rip-roaring pirate adventure?

-AUDIENCE:

-Yes!

And will you help me to get my jewels back

from those very naughty Pirates?

-AUDIENCE:

-Yes!

Great.

Now, I am expecting Captain Sinker back from her holidays.

Have you seen her anywhere?

BOOING

Oh, Captain Captain.

I was expecting Captain Sinker back from her holidays.

I have wonderful news for you, Gem.

I'm here to stay.

BOOING

I can't wait to tell my crew.

Cook? Line?

-BOTH:

-Ta-da!

"Welcome Home Captain Sinker."

Wait.

You're not Captain Sinker.

That's because...

she's not coming back!

-BOTH:

-What?!

This message in a bottle explains everything.

"Dear Cook and Line..."

-No way, that's us.

-No way, it is!

"..I've been having such a lovely time on holiday

"that I've decided to hand over the Scarlet Squid to Captain Captain."

-You see?

-Wait.

There's more.

Really?

"I've been made captain of a new ship, the Crimson Catfish..."

Ooh.

"..and I'm inviting you both to join me on the ocean waves.

"We will have adventures and treasure hunts

"and absolutely no slop."

-BOTH:

-"Love from Captain Sinker. Kiss, kiss."

-Aw.

-Ooh, it does sound tempting.

Big decisions.

Do we stay? Or do we go?

-BOTH:

-We're going.

-Let's get packing!

-Bye-ee!

Looks like I'm staying and they're leaving.

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

-That was a big surprise.

I hope Cook and Line don't leave just yet.

I want to win my jewels back first.

Squawk, let's meet today's Swashbuckling crew.

Playing today, we've got Sidra.

CHEERING

Sidra is six and she loves maths and numbers.

Her Swashbuckle name is Sandstorm Sidra.

Welcome aboard, Anas.

CHEERING

Anas is seven.

He wants to be a police officer when he grows up.

His Swashbuckle name is Captain Anas.

Next, it is Irina.

CHEERING

Irina is seven and she wants to be a doctor when she grows up.

Her Swashbuckle name is Frightful Irina.

Look, everyone, it's Hamza.

CHEERING

Hamza is seven and he likes doing push-ups and exercises.

I'm sure he will give those pirates a run-around.

His Swashbuckle name is First Mate Hamza.

CHEERING

Yeah.

Welcome aboard to my newest team of Swashbucklers, here to help me

win back my jewels from Captain Captain and Cook and Line.

So I need to make sure you are ready for the challenge.

-Can we do the Swashbuckle Salute? ALL:

-Yeah!

Let me see you all marching.

Put your hand on your heart.

-Here we go! Eye patch. AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat. AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

Oh, you are good and we are ready.

Squawk, 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 Captain 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 here is our treasure chest.

So when you win back all of my five jewels from those pesky pirates,

we will pop them in here to keep them safe.

Not going to happen, I am afraid, Gem.

Cook and Line haven't left yet.

They're going to make sure you won't win any jewels.

You'll need more than Cook and Line's help,

because we are raring to go, aren't we, Swashbucklers?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Squawk, what are we playing first?

The first game is...

SQUAWK!

The aim of the game is to build the statue of a giant rat.

All you have to do is cross the rock pool

to collect the pieces from the other side.

But be careful, Cook and Line will be trying to block your path.

CHEERING

Take a look, me hearties.

This is the picture of the rat you need to build

with six of the pieces over at the other side

of the Stepping Stones in those three crates.

But do watch out, there are two pesky pirates lurking about,

trying to put you off.

Cook is over there playing tennis...with a fish.

Line is wobbling on a stepping stone

and will probably make you tumble.

If he does, you have to go back to the side you were coming from.

You have as long as it takes for the octopus to reach

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

-Anas, Sidra, will you go first?

-Yes.

-Brilliant.

Are we ready to play?

-ALL:

-Arrr-harrr!

Then, Swashbucklers away!

Come on! Let's win back a jewel.

Anas is very fast.

Well done, Anas. Oh, no, Sidra is in.

Back this way, me hearty.

That's it, good girl. Well done.

Hamza, off you go. Brilliant!

Well done, Anas.

I think we need another piece

before we put this one on.

Come on, guys, doing really well.

Irina, off you go.

Very good. Anas, off you go.

So speedy, me hearties.

Brilliant.

That is three.

He went in.

Back to the beginning.

We've got three pieces to go.

We need to go back and get the next piece. Off you go.

Off you go, Sidra. Right.

Hamza, can you help over here?

Halfway now, Swashbucklers.

Come on, Anas. Back this side.

Two more to go.

You've got to be extra quick.

Back again. Really speedy.

As quick as you can.

There we go, that is it.

Let's pop this one on. Waiting for the last piece now.

Look out for pesky Cook.

Don't let him have it, Cook.

The pesky pirates aren't watching. That's it.

Yes! He's across! Let's get it on the top.

Work together and put it on the top.

We can do it.

Yes!

Well done, Swashbucklers.

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

SQUAWK

Our Swashbucklers stepped on into this game.

Anas raced across the rock pool

before those pesky pirates could stop him.

Then, Sidra and Hamza

and Irina brought back four pieces.

Anas tussled with Cook over the rat's head,

but our brave Swashbucklers built the jigsaw in double-quick time.

Rat-tastic stuff, Gem.

It's a win!

CHEERING Yes!

You did it! Well done, me hearties.

You have won back our first jewel.

Captain Captain, you know the rule...

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

Fine.

I suppose I'd better practise my waving

for when Cook and Line leave later.

Bye, jewel.

CHEERING

Oh, look, here's the red jewel.

There you go, Irina, pop it in the chest for me, please.

Brilliant!

CHEERING

Only four more of those beauties and then one of the naughty pirates

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

-ALL:

-Eewww!

SPLOSH!

Ew.

-Oh, that was one of the best games EVER.

-Yeah!

I can't believe today is the last EVER day

we're going to be playing games with the Swashbucklers

before joining Captain Sinker on her new ship.

-Almost makes me...

-BOTH:

-Not want to leave.

Right, you two,

I've got a list of jobs for you that is as long as my arm.

You need to scrub out the crow's nest with your toothbrushes,

clean the rotten seaweed from behind the oven,

dust the mouldy biscuit collection...

-Actually, I've made up my mind.

-Me, too.

-BOTH:

-Definitely leaving.

I haven't finished yet.

Wash all my stinky socks, deworm the rigging,

polish the floor, polish the ceiling. Polish the polish,

polish my face. Hook, Line?

Where are you going? Hello?

Looks like Cook and Line really are leaving.

Well, let's hope we can give them

one last goodbye dip in the smelly ship's mess.

Right, we want to win back another of my jewels.

Squawk, what's the next game, please?

The second game is...

SQUAWK!

The aim of the game is to pick all the fruit that matches

the fruity recipe. All you have to do is climb the tangled tree,

pick the right fruit and throw it in the giant fruit bowl.

But look out, those pesky pirates will try to set the fruit loose.

CHEERING

And here is the recipe for our fruit salad.

Let's see what you need to collect.

We're looking for a pineapple and strawberry,

a banana and lime

and an orange and a watermelon.

And all the pieces of fruit are up the tree.

But look out - Cook is also up the tree

and will try to put you off. Line is lurking around somewhere,

so do look out for him as well.

Hamza and Irina, will you go first for me?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

Are we ready to play?

Arrr-harrr!

Then Swashbucklers away!

-COOK:

-Here they come!

-LINE:

-Hi, Swashbucklers.

We are looking for the pineapple

and the strawberry.

Get rid of the watermelon, Cook.

We've got the strawberry coming down.

The pineapple is getting picked from the tree.

Well done. That's it. OK.

Anas, off you go. Let's get the next piece.

That's it, Irina. Yes! It's in the fruit bowl.

Well done. We've got the pineapple back.

We've got the pineapple and the strawberry back.

Brilliant.

So the lime and a banana.

Irina, you can go up again for me.

We need the orange and the watermelon.

We've got the lime. Well done, Sidra.

We're over halfway now, team.

Take a piece out, Line.

Line! Quick, Sidra, go get it back.

Pop it back in the fruit bowl. Excuse me.

-COOK:

-That's my fruit, you can't have that.

We're now waiting for the orange and the watermelon.

Come on. Give that back.

Pop the banana in. Well done.

-COOK:

-I got it! I got it!

Wah!

That's it. Brilliant.

Yes, come on.

Line, why do we want seaweed in there? Take it out.

That's it. Bring it out.

Two more to go.

-..eight, seven...

-Oh, yuck!

Oh, no, they're going to do it.

-Quick, let's get them in!

-..three, two, one...

Yes! CHEERING

We've done it. Well done, me hearties.

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

SQUAWK!

This was a juicy game, Gem.

Irina and Hamza went first into the fruit.

Irina stormed home with the strawberry,

Hamza picked the pineapple,

Sidra leapt for the lime,

and Anas brought back the banana.

Cook tried to stop them,

but as the orange and melon went in the bowl,

our Swashbucklers had a SMOOTHIE victory.

This was a win!

CHEERING

GEM HUMS A TUNE

Well done!

You won back another jewel. Well done, you.

So, Captain Captain, you know the rule...

-ALL:

-Send down a jewel!

I might be absolutely fine about losing Cook and Line,

but I'm not fine about losing another jewel.

CHEERING

Yeah! SHE LAUGHS

There you go, Hamza, pop the green jewel into the chest, please.

Brilliant! CHEERING

Right. I have said goodbye to my jewel.

Now, it is time for me to say goodbye to Cook and Line.

I wonder if they have finished packing yet.

So you're...really leaving, then?

Absolutely 100%...

Definitely, certainly, totally...

-BOTH:

-Yes.

-Fine. Yes. That's absolutely fine.

-Fine.

-Fine.

-Fine.

Right, well...I suppose we'd better say our goodbyes.

-BOTH:

-Bye!

SHE WHIMPERS

We will miss you, Captain.

-Even though sometimes you are a bit...

-Bossy? Loud? Mean?

-Scary? Annoying?

-I'd probably leave it there.

Sorry, got carried away.

Yes, like I said, I'll be absolutely fine.

SHE SOBS

HONK!

Fine. Well, we'd better say goodbye to the Swashbucklers.

Bye, Swashbucklers.

-ALL:

-Bye!

We really enjoyed playing games with you.

Don't forget us now, just cos...

we're leaving.

I'm really sad.

THEY WAIL

Oh, pull yourselves together.

I mean, look at me - I'm absolutely fine.

THEY WAIL

What's going on here?

THEY TALK AT ONCE

Don't be sad, I've got you a going-away present.

This'll cheer you up.

It's a picture of all of us together.

THEY TALK AT ONCE

THEY SOB

Well, if you are just so sad about leaving, then you could...

stay.

Gem's right, Cook.

-We could just...

-BOTH:

-Stay.

Oh, yes, please stay.

I mean, not that I'm bothered. I was totally fine about it.

But please stay. Please, please, please!

Should we stay, Swashbucklers?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-BOTH:

-OK...

we'll stay!

THEY HOOT AND CHEER

Right, let me help you unpack.

No, no, I've got it.

There's no place like home.

CHEERING

So Cook and Line are staying.

They might make the Shipwreck Rummage especially hard

for us today. We need to get my three remaining jewels back.

To make sure we are ready for the Shipwreck Rummage,

let's do the Swashbuckle Salute again.

Let me see you all marching!

Put your hand on your heart!

-Here we go! Eye patch. AUDIENCE:

-Eye patch.

-Pirate hat. AUDIENCE:

-Pirate hat.

Swashbuckle cheer!

-AUDIENCE:

-Arrr-harr!

Oh, yes, we are ready. Squawk, bring it on.

It's the...

SQUAWK!

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 could be found.

But be careful, Cook, Line and Captain Captain

have hidden the jewels well.

They must all be in the chest before the time runs out.

CHEERING

Swashbucklers, you now have to find three remaining jewels.

Let's see where they're hiding.

On the top deck, we have the blue one

in one of Captain Captain's treasure chests.

Then, on the middle deck, we have the purple one

in the pool of pearls. And on the lower deck,

the white jewel is in one of the three hammocks.

Hamza and Irina, you're going first.

-What colour will you go for?

-The purple one.

-The pool of pearls?

All righty, then. Are we ready to play?

Arrr-harrr!

Then Swashbucklers away!

Come on, let's get those three jewels back.

-SQUAWK:

-Yes, Gem, three jewels. Here come Irina and Hamza...

..straight into the pool of pearls

in search of the purple.

-COOK:

-Ooh, she sat on it!

-SQUAWK:

-Cook's trying to put them off.

OK, they have found the purple one.

Come on back as quick as you can.

Down the slide, well done.

Off you go. Well done.

Let's get it into the chest.

Good work, Hamza.

Two jewels left to find.

Sidra and Anas head for the hammocks.

Where is that white?

Whoo-hoo!

Line's flying fish are no match for these two.

They've got the white. I need you to go to the top deck.

The blue one's in one of the chests.

And off you go.

Brilliant. Well done.

CHEERING

It's a long way to the top of the ship for Irina and Hamza.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Up to Captain Captain's treasure chest in search of the blue jewel.

-COOK:

-Is it a fish you're after?

Ignore those naughty pirates.

I think they've got the blue. Well done!

No, no, no, no, no!

Those pesky pirates are panicking.

Come on!

They're going to do it.

-Would you like a fish?

-Cook, get out the way!

Let's get it into the treasure chest.

That's it! Come on!

Yes!

We did it. Well done, me hearties.

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

SQUAWK!

Our Swashbucklers swiftly swept aside those pesky pirates.

Hamza picked out purple in the pool of pearls.

Anas and Sidra didn't hang about in the hammocks

as they hunted for white.

Then, Irina and Hamza trekked to the top to look for the blue.

Those pirates just could not stop them.

Well done, guys. It's a win!

CHEERING

Yes! You did it!

Well done, me hearties.

Brilliant work. I am so proud of you.

Thank you for winning back all of my five sparkly jewels.

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

There you go, Anas.

There's one for you, Hamza.

There you go, Irina.

-And, Sidra, one for you.

-Thank you.

And one for me!

Let's hear it for my brilliant Swashbucklers.

CHEERING

And now we have all five of my jewels,

you know what it's time for?

One of the pesky pirates has to walk the plank.

But which one will it be?

Well, Sidra, come with me,

because I have something very special to show you.

We've got a new bit on our wheel.

If it lands on the three pirate hats,

all three pirates have to go in for a triple slop drop.

CHEERING

I don't understand.

But which one will it be?

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

Will it be Cook with the white hat?

Captain Captain with black hat? Line with the red bandanna?

Or all three?

It is going to be...

Captain Captain.

CHEERING

I'm not happy!

-I am.

-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!

It's stinky. I don't like it!

-ALL:

-Walk the plank!

SPLAT!

-ALL:

-Eewww!

So she's not just captain of the ship, but captain of the slop, too.

Brilliant.

We'll see you against soon for more Swashbuckle.

-ALL:

-Bye!

# 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!

SQUAWK!

Arrr-harrr!
