Stan finds a treasure map in a bottle on the beach, which could lead to finding the lost treasure of dead pirate Abby Birdy
More information
Tonight’s episode of Message in a Bottle takes the quirky duo of Stan and his ever‑practical Gran to the seaside for a find that could change everything. While digging for shells, Stan pulls a sealed bottle from the sand, inside is a crumbling map that points to the long‑lost hoard of pirate Abby Birdy. Gran, who’s more interested in a proper cuppa than cursed gold, insists they follow the clues before the tide washes them away. The pair scramble through tide‑pools, dodgy cliffs and a gaudy souvenir shop, each step peppered with Gran’s dry one‑liners and Stan’s over‑eager optimism. Along the way they run into a rival treasure‑hunter who claims the map is his family heirloom, leading to a slap‑stick chase across the pier. By the time they reach the X‑marked spot, the treasure’s secret is far more surprising than any chest of doubloons. A breezy, laugh‑rich adventure that keeps the humor rolling from start to finish.
