A British pirate-themed children's gameshow on the Creator/CBeebies channel, in which jewels have been stolen from the host, Gem, by the villainous Captain Sinker and her two henchmen, Cook (a chef) and Line. A team of four child contestants play games against them to win the jewels back culminating in a search through a maze shaped like a ship. There's also a bit more plot than most gameshows with the pirate crew performing storyline sketches (or songs) in between the rounds.
