Just realised something about CBeebies Swashbuckle

Lying in bed pondering the names of the two crewmates, Cook and Line and was was wondering why Line was Line, until I remembered the original captain was Captain Sinker: Cook, Line and Sinker!

And Gem is wanting her gems back. Very clever!

But seriously, it took me too long to make the connection, and I still call Line "Lime" even now..

ArosGartref · 22/03/2021 22:51

I know. But isn't gems name actually Gemma? And it doesn't work as well now Captain sinker has gone.

In one of the cbeebies shows there is a bit where cook and line introduce themselves which cracks me up:

I'm cook and I'm a cook.
I'm line and I don't know what I am.

Also, Line is hot.

Cook and Line are married in real life 🙀

Line is kind of hot I agree. In fact I can imagine a pretty bawdy night out at Clapham grand with cook and line.

No. Way.

I wanted to run away to sea with Line.

Do you have evidence of this?

Gem is Gemma Hunt.

I'd heard the married rumours but I'd also heard the same about the couple from Let's Play so I don't know of its the CBeebies equiv of FanFic

No, they're really not...

I do think these two are great, although probably not what they imagined when emerging from drama school!

Richard David-Caine, who plays Line, is fantastic in Class Dismissed on CBBC. He plays lots of parts and is very funny.

Twizbe · 23/03/2021 05:48

They are married. Confirmed by a friend of theirs to me. Very sweet blokes.

BoundlessBean · 23/03/2021 05:54

We loved Class Dismissed! Richard DC is amazing.

But the phrase is hook, line and sinker. I've never managed to work out why he's called Cook rather than Hook.

That isn't evidence. It's like saying your mate down the pub third cousin told you something.

Cook is called cook instead of Hook because he is the cook.

Also Horrible Histories!

I loved the original Captain Sinker - they just looked like they had so much fun making the show.

@EspressoExpresso - it's a play on words. He's called Cook as he is one.

I think it took me so long as I was stuck on Sinker being a play on 'sink her' referring to the marooned ship (but was never entirely convinced as she'd been run aground rather than sunk).

Definitely think they have great fun when filming. Shame I'm too big to take part!

I’m dying at the thought of CBeebies fanfic.

Gazelda · 23/03/2021 09:14

What happened to Captain Sinker?

Haven't watched in about 9 years, so may be behind the plot.

There's been 2x captains since sinker "went on holiday" GrinGrin
  • Captain Hey-ho!
  • Captain Captain (for short)

Can you tell we have this on far too much...

Twizbe · 23/03/2021 10:25

@Kpo58 fair point. I do have evidence of them being the same household though.

In the first lockdown the cbbc and CBeebies lot did a song from Oliver. The usual recorded at home and edited together. They were the only characters at home together.

DS loves Captain Hey Ho the most of all captains

The children and their friends are missing Cook and Line in Swashbuckle.
Why would the magnificent and talented duo be let go?
Gemma, Captain Captain, Cook and Line are the perfect quartet for Swashbuckle and should be brought back.

butterbelle · 12/12/2021 11:27

I thought it was cook and lime 😂
