The sands of Swanage
Narrator
It's the adventures of Captain Birdseye!
Captain
Ahoy there! I'm Captain Birdseye!
Kids
Yay!
Captain
Who wants to have an adventure?!
Kids
Yay!
Billy
Captain I want to have adventure! Can I have adventure first, please
Captain!
Captain
Aar! You can all have an adventure. Let's go searching for treasure!
Billy
I'm going to find treasure!
Captain
Sure thing Billy! Come on kids, fetch the spades, and plenty of sacks
for all the treasure!
Kids
Yay!
Katie
This'd better be good.
SFX
Pause; beach atmosphere (gulls etc.) loud for a bit then fade so as
not to obscure music
Captain
Aar! Here we are. Get digging, kids!
Kids
Yay!
Katie
Captain?
Captain
Aye aye Katie, me lad?
Katie
Wouldn't we be better off digging on a desert island? [beat] As
opposed to Swanage.
Captain
Nonsense! The sands of Swanage are littered with golden treasure!
You'll see! Have you found anything yet kids? Nicky?
Nicky
Nothing yet Captain!
Billy
I finded some doggy business Captain.
Katie
Ugh! Put it down Billy!
Captain
[pause] Er... look! I've dug up some treasure!
Katie
No Captain... that's fourteen pence. In coppers.
Captain
It may be small change, but we've still found treasure! Come on kids,
there might be more coins!
Katie
But Captain, you just put them there.
Captain
No I didn't!
Katie
Ooh, you did! You did! You put them down there on the ground, and I
saw you!
Captain
Oh, go to your cabin.
Narrator
More exciting adventures with Captain Birdseye next time!
Katie
It wasn't a very good adventure, was it Captain?
Captain
Shut up.
