00:03We're on our way to Puckman's Park
00:08To spend the day in Puckman's Park
00:13You'll ask a never answer
00:15And you'll meet all your friends sir
00:18A kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
00:26kiss, kiss.
00:40There's tales of the high seas in Potomus Park.
00:43Peppy is reading a book.
00:45It's all about pirates and treasure chests too.
00:48It sounds like it's well worth a look.
00:53So with a pirate's treasure safely back on board,
00:56Captain Custard and his crew set sail once more, heading for home.
01:00The end.
01:01Oh, lovely.
01:02Oh, that was great.
01:03I love stories about pirates and buried treasure.
01:06Don't you, Hazel?
01:07Yes.
01:08I wish we could find some buried treasure, eh, Dad?
01:11I don't know about that,
01:12but we could play pirates who are searching for treasure.
01:15Oh, yes, and I'll be the captain.
01:18No, you won't.
01:19I'll be the captain.
01:20Now, children, I don't want you arguing all the time about who should be captain.
01:25And so I'll be the captain.
01:27What?
01:28Oh, that's not fair.
01:30Children, please.
01:31Your mother's right.
01:32We don't want all this squabbling over who's going to be captain.
01:35So I'd better be captain.
01:37Oh, no, I want to be captain.
01:39No, it's not fair.
01:41Quiet.
01:42Now, since none of you can agree, I think I should be the one to decide.
01:46Oh, all right then, Ticker.
01:48So you decide.
01:49I suppose that's fair.
01:51Do you agree, children?
01:52Oh, yeah, I suppose so.
01:54Right, everybody.
01:55Let me see who the best captain would be.
01:58It needs to be someone bold and brave and daring and very clever.
02:05Someone who everybody looks up to and admires.
02:09But most of all, someone who's got a red beak.
02:13Oh, I might have guessed.
02:15Oh.
02:19All aboard, me hearties.
02:20All aboard.
02:22Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:23This boat's much too small to take all of us.
02:26Now, hang on, dear.
02:27If I go over here...
02:30Oh, mine's out the way, Hinkley.
02:32And you sort of go round there and...
02:37Oh, got to guess.
02:38You're a bit too big for this boat.
02:40I know.
02:41Let's say instead of being a pirate,
02:43you could be someone who waves us goodbye
02:45as we sail away.
02:51Ah, that's better.
02:53Oh, it's still a bit crowded, though.
02:55I think I'll be someone who waves goodbye as well.
02:59That's not a bad idea.
03:00I'm beginning to feel a bit seasick.
03:03Hang on a minute.
03:04If everyone keeps getting off,
03:06I'll be the only one left.
03:08And there's no point being a captain
03:10if you haven't got a crew.
03:12What we really need is a treasure map
03:14like the pirates in the book.
03:16Have you got one, Captain?
03:17No, I haven't.
03:18Everybody knows you can't get treasure maps anymore.
03:21Don't they got to guess?
03:25What?
03:25Well, you've got one, I suppose.
03:31My word, it's a treasure map.
03:36Wow!
03:37It's a map of Potamus Park.
03:39And look, there's a secret island with a palm tree on it.
03:42So there's bound to be treasure
03:44because X marks the spot.
03:47In years gone by, when pirate ships set sail across the seas,
03:52they'd find a secret island and relax beneath the trees.
03:57After singing pirate songs, they'd find a special plot,
04:01dig a hole to hide their treasure,
04:03and X marks the spot.
04:05X marks the spot, X marks the spot.
04:10If you dig for treasure, that's where you'll find a lot.
04:15X marks the spot, X marks the spot.
04:20Tons of gold and silver waiting to be found,
04:24safe inside a pirate's chest underneath the ground.
04:29Years later, they'd sail back again and scrambling off the decks.
04:33They'd rush across their island to the place marked with an X.
04:38But often they could not get back to try and claim their prize.
04:42So on those distant islands, the hidden treasure lies.
04:47X marks the spot, X marks the spot.
04:51If you dig for treasure, that's where you'll find a lot.
04:56X marks the spot, X marks the spot.
05:00Tons of gold and silver waiting to be found,
05:05safe inside a pirate's chest underneath the ground.
05:10So once you've got a treasure map and a telescope or two,
05:14sail off to that island like the pirates used to do.
05:18It's land ahoy, me hearties, fire a warning cannon shot.
05:23We're coming for the treasure that those buccaneers have bought.
05:28A hundred paces to the north, and X marks the spot.
05:33X marks the spot, X marks the spot.
05:37If you dig for treasure, that's where you'll find a lot.
05:42X marks the spot, X marks the spot.
05:47Tons of gold and silver waiting to be found,
05:51safe inside a pirate's chest underneath the ground.
05:56Right, come on, everyone.
05:58We must set off straight away to find this treasure.
06:01Ooh, heave ho, me hearties.
06:04Shiver me timbers.
06:05Raise anchor.
06:06Let's set sail.
06:08Oh, they've gone.
06:11Oh.
06:13Now, let me see.
06:15I think it's over this way.
06:17Oh, Herbie, we'd be much better off going that way.
06:21Let me have a look, Mum.
06:22It's over that way.
06:24Oh, hello, Hippos.
06:25Having fun?
06:26I should say so, Mo.
06:28We've got a real treasure map with an X on it.
06:31And treasure is buried somewhere here in Potomers Park.
06:34Would you like to help us find it?
06:36Oh, normally I'd love to,
06:37but I'm afraid I'm rather busy at the moment.
06:39I promised Mindy I'd build her an extension,
06:43so I've got quite a lot of digging to do here.
06:46Why don't you ask God to guess?
06:47He looks as though he'd be good at digging.
06:49We don't know where he's gone to.
06:51He gave us the map and then went off somewhere.
06:54Oh, well, if I find any treasure whilst I'm borrowing,
06:56I'll give you a shout.
06:58Ha, ha, ha.
06:58Bye-bye.
06:59Bye.
07:00Ahoy there, me hearties.
07:02You've deserted the ship.
07:03Yeah, but we're not bothering with any of that now, Ticker.
07:06We've got a real treasure map here with an X on it and everything.
07:09And we can see where it is.
07:11We're just not quite sure how to get there.
07:14Ah.
07:14Ah, that's where you need your captain to help you.
07:17I could fly all around Potomus Park
07:19and lead you to the spot marked with an X.
07:23Good idea, Ticker.
07:25Off you go then.
07:26Aye, aye, captain.
07:28Ha, ha, ha, ha.
07:30Oh.
07:31I found it.
07:32Come on, everybody.
07:33I found it.
07:34Captain Ticker's found the treasure.
07:36Oh, he's so clever.
07:38He is a bit exciting.
07:39Let me see it.
07:40What was that noise?
07:41Oh, what?
07:42Where?
07:43Ow!
07:45Got to guess.
07:45Got to guess.
07:46Where have you been?
07:47Oh, got to guess.
07:48Got to you first.
07:50A treasure chest.
07:52Open it, got to guess.
07:53Oh.
07:55Oh, the treasure is a picnic.
07:58Just as well, really.
07:59Because I'll tell you one thing about treasure hunting.
08:02It makes a pirate jolly hungry.
08:04Let's tuck in.
08:29All together now.
08:30A K K K K K K
08:32Let's go!
