Swashbuckle

Series 5

Episode 12: Silly as Slop

First broadcast: on CBeebies HDLatest broadcast: on CBeebies HD

Captain Captain believes herself to be far too sensible and clever to let the Swashbucklers win any jewels. Unfortunately, her pirate crew, Cook and Line are as 'silly as a bucket of slop' and she demands the pirates try to be more sensible.

Later on, whilst Cook and Line are slopping out, they can't understand why Captain Captain thinks they are as silly as a bucket of slop. After all, slop is already pretty silly. It's not long before Cook and Line get distracted doing silly things with their slop, like glooping it around and squeezing it between their fingers.

Much later, Cook and Line are in the cabin. Line is wearing a weird bucket-type contraption on his head. Cook explains that this invention, called 'The Silliminator', will eliminate all the silliness from Line's brain. Cook simply places sensible objects inside the 'Silliminator' and it will feed down into Line's brain, making him more sensible. Cook tries it and Line is instantly more sensible, pausing to move a bucket of slop out of the way to safely place it somewhere more sensible. Cook is happy his invention worked and scurries off to get more sensible things to put inside it.

Elsewhere, during the games, the Swashbucklers do very well. They win Game 1: Fruity Loot, followed by another win in Game 2: Potty Portholes, and go onto win a very messy Shipwreck Rummage. Their hard work is finally rewarded with a triple slop drop, and all three pirates end up in the stinky Ship's Mess. Show less
