(The camera pans to Danny Dog's house as the families arrive in their cars. Each of the children hop out and run inside.)
Narrator: Today is Danny Dog's birthday. He is having a party.
Danny Dog: (barks) Yo-ho-ho!
Narrator: Everyone has come dressed as pirates.
All: Yo-ho-ho!
Narrator: Pedro Pony is dressed as a cowboy.
All: (giggling)
Granddad Dog: (barks) Ahoy there, me hearties!
Narrator: It is Granddad Dog, dressed as a pirate.
Peppa Pig: (snorts) Hello, Granddad Dog!
Granddad Dog: Call me, Dogbeard.
All: Hello, Dogbeard!
Granddad Dog: (barks) Which of ye scurvy pirates crave a ration of swashbuckling all the brainy seas?
Suzy Sheep: Why is he talking funny?
Danny Dog: (laughs) That's pirates talk.
Granddad Dog: If you want to play my pirate game, say "Arrgh!"
All: Arrgh!
Pedro Pony: Is it a dangerous game?
Mummy Dog: No Pedro, Granddad dog has promised me it will be a very safe game.
All: (disappointed): Oh!
Granddad Dog: But it will be exciting. So who wants to play?
All: Arrgh!
Granddad Dog: Here be the plan.
(Grandad Dog turns a page on an easel, which shows a picture of a treasure chest filled with gold.)
Granddad Dog: Time was, I had a heap of gold that was mine by right. But I was hornswoggled by one Captain Hog!
Suzy Sheep: (incomprehensibly) What?
Narrator: Pirate talk is a bit difficult to understand.
Granddad Dog: Captain Hog took my treasure.
All: Ooh!
Granddad Dog: Know you that Captain Hog is a fearsome pirate. Some of you may already know him as (shows a picture of Grandpa Pig) Grandpa Pig.
All: Ah! Grandpa Pig! (laugh)
Granddad Dog: The game is (flips the easel to reveal a map with a boat, an apple orchard, and an X) to go to Captain Hog's hideout (points to the X) and get back my treasure without being caught.
All: Hurray!
Narrator: Everyone is excited to be playing the pirate game.
(Granddad Dog starts the game by dialing Grandpa Pig's phone number.)
Granddad Dog: Hello, Grandpa Pig. We're on our way.
Grandpa Pig: Jolly good!
Polly Parrot: Jolly good.
Narrator: Grandpa Pig and Polly Parrot are guarding the pirate treasure.
Granddad Dog: Be the black galleon fast and the wind at our backs, we'll away!
Peppa Pig: What does that mean?
Granddad Dog: Run to the boat!
(The children all shout "Yo-ho-ho!" as Granddad Dog and the others run to his boat with their pirate balloons.)
Pedro Pony: Yee-haw!
All: (laugh)
Granddad Dog: Whoa, there! Put your lifejackets on.
All: (laugh)
Narrator: On Granddad Dog's boat, all the children must wear lifejackets.
(Meanwhile, back at Grandpa Pig's orchard, he sits quietly in his chair, feeling very impatient.)
Grandpa Pig: That scurvy Dogbeard should be here by now! (snorts loudly)
(Granny Pig brings him a tray of a cup of tea and biscuits.)
Granny Pig: Here's a nice cup of tea, Grandpa Pig.
Grandpa Pig: Oh, thank you, Granny Pig. (blows)
(Back at the boat)
Granddad Dog: At last! Are we all ready now?
Pedro Pony: Mr. Dogbeard, I need to go to the toilet.
Peppa Pig: And me!
Danny Dog: And me!
Emily Elephant: And me!
Suzy Sheep: And me!
Rebecca Rabbit: And me!
(Back at the orchard)
Grandpa Pig: (impatiently) What can be keeping them?
(Grandpa Pig dials Granddad Dog's number on his phone.)
Grandpa Pig: Hello? Granddad Dog? (angry) I thought you said you were on your way!
Granddad Dog: Yes, yes, we're almost there. It's taken a while to get my crew together. Anchors aweigh! Full sail!
All: Aye, aye, Dogbeard!
(The children laugh as they face forward.)
All: (singing) ♫ Oh jolly pirates we ♫
♫ That sail the deep blue sea ♫
♫ To find our golden treasure ♫
♫ Full sail, ahoy, yippee! ♫
Granddad Dog: Land ahoy!
Narrator: The children have arrived in Grandpa Pig's orchard.
All: (laugh)
Granddad Dog: The game is to get that treasure without being caught.
Mummy Sheep, Mummy Pig and Mummy Rabbit: Hurray for the pirates!
Peppa Pig: Shush, mummy!
(Grandpa Pig sits in his chair and minds his own business reading his newspaper as the children hide behind the tree branches and bushes and out of sight.)
Grandpa Pig: I hope there are no pirates around here, trying to take my lovely treasure.
(Peppa and Suzy run out from behind the tree branch and pull off a bag of coins.)
Narrator: Peppa and her friends have got the coins without being caught.
(They each take a coin from the bag and unwrap its gold wrappers.)
Suzy Sheep: It's chocolate coins!
(The children happily devour the chocolate coins.)
Narrator: Everybody loves chocolate coins.
All: Yum, yum, yum!
(Just as Granddad Dog was pulling off the bag of chocolate coins from the tree branch, Grandpa Pig immediately spots him.)
Grandpa Pig: Aha! Got you!
Narrator: Granddad Dog has been caught.
Grandpa Pig: Try and take my treasure, would you?
Granddad Dog: 'Tis mine! I won it fair and square!
Grandpa Pig: Oh, no, you didn't!
Granddad Dog: Oh, yes, I did!
(They each fight over the bag of chocolate coins furiously. It wasn't long before Mummy Dog came along with a birthday cake.)
Mummy Dog: (clears throat) Thank you, Captain Hog and Dogbeard for the lovely pirate game.
Granddad Dog: Oh, you're very welcome.
Grandpa Pig: Er... oh, yes. It's been lots of fun.
All: Happy birthday, Danny!
(Danny blows out the candles.)
Danny: This be the best pirate party ever!
All: Arrgh!
(They all laugh and fall to their backs like always, which concludes the episode.)
