TV show shown in the early 80's on ITV Saturday midday slot. It involved a bunch of kids (older teens and some younger children) who were stuck on an isolated tropical island. There were pirates who had been stuck there since the 1800’s and were living as if it was still 1800. They were sometimes the antagonists in some episodes. One stand out memory is one of the teens played the pirate leader at chess (maybe to release hostages?). The teen won needless to say :)
The opening credits included an amphibious truck with a big shark mouth painted on the front busting out of some undergrowth.
