Turtles, Bamboo Railways and Holla Mohalla All Over the Place

Are you ready for an amazing adventure?

Then join Ed Petrie.

-I just met a panda!

-And his CBBC mates.

-Wow!

-On a bonkers and brilliant journey around...

-Asia!

-Asia!

-Asia!

It's going to be epic.

-That's amazing.

-We'll take part in some of Asia's most spectacular

and crazy events.

Like Gatka sword fighting in India.

-Attack!

-MAN SHOUTS

This ain't going to be pretty.

So, are you ready to go?

# All over the place

# All over the place

# North, south, east, west On a bizarre quest

# Me and my mates All over the place!

# It's true what you've heard Everything is absurd

# Whatever we do is strange but true!

# All over the place

# All over the place

# There's stuff to do in Asia that is totally ace

-# And it turns up...

-# ..all over the place! #

Yo! Ed! Heard some reports of some seriously bad dudes

putting the lives of tiny turtles in danger.

They don't call us the Ninja Turtle Rescuers for nothing.

If somebody's destroying a turtle's habitat, or stealing their eggs,

they've got us to deal with.

-Hah!

-Yeah!

-Ow, my hamstring!

Fear not. The Turtle Conservation and Education Centre

rescue and release thousands of tiny turtles every year here in Bali.

-Judo chop!

-Oww!

To the rescue centre!

Yeah!

Actually, my shell backpack's, like, well heavy, could we walk slow,

-like a real turtle would, you know?

-Er...

To the rescue centre! Slowly, and safely,

-in a totally turtley way!

-Yeah.

Ow...!

Whoa, dude! Baby turtles!

Huge sea turtles have laid their eggs on Bali's beautiful beaches

for thousands of years.

But nowadays, the babies face many new dangers when they are born,

like tourists trampling on them, poachers pinching them,

or dogs attacking them.

So, this awesome rescue centre

looks after the precious eggs until they hatch.

And...keeps these supercool babies happy in their tanks

until they can be released into the wild.

Sounds like our Ninja Turtles need some more info from the boss man.

With a little game I like to call... Total Turtle Interrogation

Until We Put These Tiny Turtles Into A Bucket...Quiz.

Not a very catchy title.

Yeah, I know, I couldn't think of a word that rhymed with turtle.

No, good point. I'll let you off on this occasion.

-Anyway, question number one.

-Yes.

Is a turtle the same as a tortoise?

-INTERPRETER:

-No. They're not the same.

Tortoises live on land, turtles live in the sea.

Our turtles really, really slow? Or are they super fast, but lazy?

Yes, on land, they are slow.

But in the sea, they are mighty fast.

So, I'm going to call mine, this one...

Mi-SHELL! Get it!

I'm going to call mine er, SHELL-don.

Can we help you release these?

Yeah, but you have to take your masks off because you look stupid.

Oh, yeah, probably a good idea.

-We look a bit ridiculous.

-Yeah. I did mine in a reef knot.

Get a move on, Ed!

Madi has organised a very special event today

to celebrate Indonesia's Independence Day -

the release of 1,000 tiny turtles!

-So many people.

-So exciting! This is so exciting.

And, yes,

the local schoolkids have been invited to come along to help out.

They're each given a jar of water to transport the baby turtles safely

to the sea. Swim well, Michelle and Sheldon!

Apparently, we release them from behind this line

and they waddle their way down to the sea.

So I'm going to give Sheldon a nice smooth ramp to go down,

there we go.

-It's exciting that this many people care about it.

-Yeah.

I love that.

-Making the world a better place.

-Yeah.

Remember this in 100 years' time, Sheldon.

It's time for...the Turtle Moment of Truth!

Three, two, one -

-unleash the tiny turtles!

-Here we go.

Michelle, this is your moment.

Go, Sheldon, go!

No, down here, this way.

Where are you going, mate? That's the wrong way.

-Go, Michelle, go on!

-Get on your ramp...

Come on, Michelle!

-Go the right way...

-There he goes!

-He's swimming!

-KIDS CHEER

He's swimming between that cameraman's legs.

Success!

Sheldon and Michelle have made it safely into the Indian Ocean.

Good luck, guys.

Look at their little heads! You can see them right out there...

-That one's swimming!

-Look at them, they're really far out already.

Come on, you guys. Have a lovely life!

-I'm such a proud parent.

-I know, I'm feeling a bit emotional.

What a shame there wasn't a pair of Ninja Turtles to provide

some sort of visual guide and help those poor baby turtles in need.

Yes. That WOULD be a help...

Wouldn't it?

Now, listen up, turtles!

You've been on this planet for over 220 million years.

Actually, these little dudes have only existed for, like,

six to ten weeks.

But, yeah!

Let's do this for the, like, 220 millionth and one time!

Only you can find it within yourselves

to move from right here

to...just over there.

Hey, you don't want to be rescued again.

-Am I right?

-Aaagh!

Each of you ankle-snappers is unstoppable!

You there. Your mom laid 70 eggs

and I gotta say - that's a little on the low side!

But, you, your mom laid 190 eggs.

Yeah! Go, Mom!

But I gotta say to you -

all your moms are awesome,

and that's why you owe it to 'em to get to that ocean!

Where are you going? You - where are you going?!

Whoa! 190 totally rad eggs?

I guess you gotta lay a lotta eggs

when only one in 1,000 survive to adulthood.

Work it!

Move it!

That's great, little guy. You've really come out of your shell.

That's right. Nearly halfway there.

Watch out for predators, birds, crabs.

You're nearly at the water's edge now.

Beware of the sharks, and other turtle-eating fish. Come on.

Keep going!

Yeah. And don't eat the trash, it could poison you.

And watch out for fishing tackle,

poachers - and absolutely no eating plastic!

# Things that stick

# Out of the...ground! #

Ed, we've got ages until our plane leaves and airports are so boring!

Not if you're a pilot.

Imagine all the cool stuff they probably get to do.

-Oh!

-You know, Changi Airport

here in Singapore is supposed to be THE best airport in the world.

Imagine the kind of access they get.

Yeah. And all the freebies!

Cel, I've just had a brilliant idea

with absolutely no bad consequences whatsoever.

Do you see what I see?

CEL GASPS

Ed, I've always wanted to be a pilot.

Those two are in the right place for an airport adventure.

As well as having lots of lovely planes and four shiny terminals,

Changi has loads of cool attractions

to keep you amused while you wait for your flight.

That's why it's been voted the best airport in the world

five years in a row.

And the best thing -

you don't need to be an airline pilot to enjoy the attractions.

But I don't think anyone's told Ed and Cel that.

Well, Co-Pilot Chancey, welcome to your airport paradise,

reserved for only the most prestigious of pilots.

Oh - and...any old passenger,

to relax before their long haul flight.

Hey - and I'll tell you what, Pilot...Chestington,

we're not the only ones with...wings in here.

Look at all these butterflies!

That's right. This is the world's first butterfly garden

in an airport.

1,000 butterflies and a six-metre waterfall.

Let's see what other doors open for us.

There's loads more -

including a rooftop pool and Jacuzzi, and this cinema.

You won't want to leave.

Unless, of course, you've managed to blag a seat

on the free massage chairs!

Oh, I get the feeling this could be...PLANE embarrassing.

Ed... Ed!

-Shush!

-Sorry.

Pilot Roger, I have just blagged my way

onto the largest indoor slide inside an airport terminal.

What?! You don't get those kind of perks as a Joe Nobody.

Oh, no. So, it takes you down to basement two from the first floor,

inside terminal three.

Only pilots are allowed to use it.

-And kids over the height of 1.3 metres, but...

-How tall's that?

That's about 12 metres, that's the equivalent of seven Ed Sheerans.

-Whoo-hoo!

-Mm-hm.

Well - set doors to manual,

-and prepare for take-off.

-Nyeowww!

Whoa...

Aargh!

Hur-hurrgh!

Aaaaaaaargh....

Whoa! Whoo!

-Yeah!

-Aaaaargh...

Ohhh... Captain Roger feels a bit travel sick.

I'm going to need to sit down.

-That's not very good for a pilot.

-No.

Perfect place for us to relax, wearing our sunglasses -

the terminal to sunflower garden.

500 smiling sunflowers looking out over Changi Airport.

Beautiful.

There's one of those, what are they called, those aeroplane...thingies.

-Aeroplanes?

-That's the one. The 7..erm...

Oh, the 72...7?

Yeah. 727 Dream Air, auto...

-double-decker.

-Skytrain?

-TANNOY: Bing-bong!

Ed and Cel!

You have 43 seconds

to find out as much as you can about Changi Airport.

Cel - you have Sharf, who knows all about the airport attractions.

Ed - you have Fancy, who knows all about the running of the airport.

The one who finds out the most facts is the winner.

Three, two, one... Go!

Why are there so many attractions in the airport?

You can actually call it unique,

because it creates so much memory for people.

-What is YOUR favourite attraction?

-The butterfly garden.

-Ooh, I've been there.

-Yeah.

Why is it the best airport in the world?

Mm... We do everything, we do our best for everyone.

Can everyone go and visit?

Of course. Everyone who's on transit

can always visit attractions here and at the airport.

How many people visit the airport every day?

We have about 120,000, per day.

How many people visit the airport every week?

Every week? You have to times it yourself!

Since I've got the outfit on... can I fly a plane?

You can, in the future, maybe.

Yes. OK, I'll hold on to that.

Er, how many terminals are there in the airport?

Currently, you have four and we are building a fifth one.

-KLAXON

-Ohhh!

-TANNOY: And the winner is...Ed.

-Heyyy!

Congratulations, your flight is now ready to depart.

Would Pilot Roger Chestington

and Co-Pilot Dirk Chancey

please make their way to the flight deck?

Oh... Brilliant. Our flight is ready to depart.

We've had an incredible day in the airport

and it turns out that anyone can see the attractions.

You don't have to be pilots after all.

Er, Ed, hello, mate, that was us on the tannoy!

Our flight home, we're piloting it.

We have to fly the plane!

Brace for impact!

Bee-bee-beep! Bee-bee-beep!

Bee-bee-beep! Bee-bee-beep!

-Bee-bee-beep...

-SNORING

-ALARM BEEPS

-Agh!

Ed, I have just had the strangest dream.

-Yeah. Me, too.

-Oof...

Hurry up, we're going to miss our flight.

IN THE STYLE OF THE PROCLAIMERS: I'M GONNA BE (500 MILES)

# In Battambang Which is in Cambodia

# There's a railway like no other that you've seen

# Run by locals Who take tourists for a ride

# Up and down on this incredible machine

# Called a Nori Made from old discarded parts

# Of tanks and tractors and a motorcycle, too

# Stuck together

# On two sets of metal wheels

# Under a platform made from Look, strips of bamboo

-BOTH:

-# And I will take this Nori ride

# A friendly local as my guide

# They'll take us both right on our way

# On the famous bamboo railway

# In the '20s This was a French colony

# They built a single track cross-country railway

# Over time

# It fell into disrepair

# But the Noris use the same tracks to this day

# It was used

# To transport people and goods

# The locals found this was by far the cheapest way

# Now you find It's a very big attraction

# And to take a ride The tourists have to pay

# And I will ride this special train

# To O Sra Lav and back again

# It doesn't really take that long

# To get back here to O Dambong

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

# It's a Cambodian train made of bamboo

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

# A unique form of transport Yes, that's true

# If you're riding and you see another car

# Coming in the opposite direction to you

# Whichever Nori

# Carrying the lightest load is lifted off the track

# To let the other through

# Oh, I would ride for miles and miles

# Cos a Nori ride just makes me smile

# The engine cranking out the power

# At 20 kilometres an hour

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

# Oh, I could ride this train forevermore

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

-# On a Nori!

-On a Nori!

# Though it does make your bottom rather sore. #

-Ohh...

-Ow!

-Oooh...

As you can see, it's very competitively priced

for a first step on the nesting ladder. Spacious enough for a brood.

Close to the city and available for immediate flying.

It sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

Well, the...the neighbour seems to have his eye on you.

Maybe keep your doors locked at night.

HE SQUAWKS IN PANIC

-Thanks a lot, mate!

-FOX SNIGGERS

Felix has a lot to answer for

when it comes to the surreal collection of sculptures

in the Jing'an Sculpture Park.

And all this fab art is watched over by the star attraction,

the Urban Fox.

-Hello, Felix!

-Hi. Nice to meet you guys.

So where do all these sculptures come from? China, I imagine?

They come from all over the world.

If they're from all over, how did they end up here?

Every two years, we organise a famous sculpture exhibition

and we invite a lot of sculptors here

to make their art.

I'm a big collector of souvenirs,

-so could I take any of them home with me?

-Don't be silly!

It's too big for you.

So, do YOU have any favourites?

I like the one behind me. It's called City Fantasy.

I'm no zoologist,

but...I don't think this is very accurate.

One ostrich and how many heads?

I count nine. Maybe if we found out the name of the piece,

we'd understand better. We should ask.

I'll ask the questions around here!

Hello, and welcome to The Urban Fox Says...

The game show where I ask the questions

and the Urban Fox knows the answers.

-That's a bit silly, it's not even a real fox.

-Shush!

Can you find the sculpture called... Red Beacon?

Would you like a hint? It's red. Go on, scoot.

I'm getting the red, but I'm not getting the beacon.

It's kind of traffic lighty...red?

I'll go for this one. The red beacon.

Ah. Think you've got something to crow about, do you?

Has he, oh, Urban Fox?

..Wrong!

No! You've got it wrong.

Red Beacon's that one over there.

It was designed by a Belgian and made from 55 tonnes of wood.

This one's called Colours Of Happiness.

Dunno why. That's art for you.

Still all to play for, Bobby-Bob-Bob.

And this is the music round. Sort of.

You've got to find a sculpture called...Music Power.

Go on, then.

Nothing musical around here.

I think it's time I got a... MOO-ve on. Huh?

Musical instruments, loads of them?

It's got to be Music Power.

Oh. Think you've fiddled it out, do you?

Well, it's not for me to say.

..Right!

-Get in!

-Oh! Correct.

Music Power was made by a French New Realist.

Doesn't look very new or realistic to me, but, then,

what do I know about art?

Find the sculpture called...

Girouette Monumentale.

Allez, allez. Vite, vite.

Go and look for it.

Ahhhh...! I haven't got a Scooby.

I mean, what - a Girouette...?

Monumentale?

Aagh!

Maybe..."girouette" is French for "parrot"?

I dunno, I'm going to go for this one.

Oh, good guess!

But is he right, Urban Fox?

Wrong!

Oh. Bad luck, Bobsicle.

It's actually that one over there.

You know, the big obvious monumental one.

It's based on a traditional Chinese paper cut technique.

Wouldn't want to get a paper cut from that.

I never even spotted it!

That'll teach you for not having the eyesight of a fox.

The Urban Fox is very disappointed in you.

See you later, Fox!

So, I've arranged for someone to look after the trophy

while we take part in the main event,

but all they've given me for contact is "Mr Singh,

"the Holy City of Bliss, India."

How am I supposed to narrow that down?

Well, we're in the right place.

-Really?

-Yeah, this is Anandpur Sahib,

which is also known by the Sikhs who live here

as the Holy City of Bliss.

Oh, nice! Good one, me.

Well done, me. Thank you, me.

But how do I get this Mr Singh?

Well, that could be more tricky, you see... Do you know his first name?

Because all Sikh men have the same second name.

I'm sure if I yell out, he'll speak up.

Mr Singh? Mr Singh?

Hello, are you...? Ah!

There...THEY are.

Family reunion or something.

No, Chris, Johny's right.

For once.

And tens of thousands of Sikhs travel here every year

for the Festival of Holla Mohalla, held in the north of India.

It's a massive celebration of Sikh culture,

with poetry, music and parades.

But the big draw is the amazing displays

of a martial art called...Gatka.

These Gatka battles may look real,

but they are actually well-practised displays of skill.

There is some competition to be found here, though,

and Gatka expert Gurmeet

looks like the Mr Singh to help you win.

Mr Singh? I think you're going to be teaching us some things today.

What will we be learning?

-INTERPRETER:

-Today, I will teach you Gatka.

Gatka, that was the...fighting.

Surely...we wouldn't be using those?

No, no. I will teach you using sticks, wooden sticks.

-Much safer.

-And even then,

don't try this at home

unless you've been trained by an expert like this guy.

But we're not REALLY going to be doing it though, are we?

Definitely not!

-BOTH:

-Are we?

-Maybe.

Erm... In that case, you win, congratulations, bye!

Well deserved.

-How are we going to get out of doing the Gatka battles?

-We need to hide.

How are we supposed to hide?

I mean, look - all the other men here are wearing turbans,

we stand out. Unless...

I have actually always wondered how these things are done.

Cos they look amazing when they're on.

It's a two-man job.

Already, you can sort of feel a weight taking shape.

Yeah, definitely. On your head.

I'm just glad I can fit it around my Afro!

Quite impressed with that.

I don't even sit this still for my hairdresser.

Well, now that you've got your turbans as a disguise,

I'm sure Gurmeet will never find you!

You two just relax.

So far, I've had a lovely day at Holla Mohalla.

Yeah, we've got some great turbans, met some really nice people,

and...haven't taken part in any fights whatsoever.

-It's not going to last though, is it?

-Not a chance.

-Thought not.

No! There's no escape.

But luckily for you two, here's...

There are lots of different Gatka weapons.

There's the very scary-looking Talwar sword

and the small Dahl shield.

And this colourful spinny thing is called a Chakar,

used for both attack and defence.

But Chris and Johny will be using

these wooden sticks with padded hilts called Soti.

They'll be judged on footwork

as well as sword skills.

Good footwork helps both attack and defence.

And they'll also score points for hits with the Soti.

Half a point for a hit on the padded hilt,

one point for a blow on the lower half,

two points for hits above the belt,

and a whopping three points

for fancy footwork

that gets you a hit on the back.

Time to start learning some footwork skills.

-THEY LAUGH

-Close enough. Yeah.

-Yes.

-Got to get my thumb in the right place, yeah,

my thumb in the right place.

-Attack.

-Attack.

-Yes.

Oh, I've already forgotten!

It was...

-..that?

-Attack.

OK...

Defend.

-Yes.

-I'm attacking...that way?

I'm attacking...you that way!

I think I've definitely...

not got that down pat!

-Attack?

-Yeah. Nice.

Attack, defence, attack, defence.

-Yes!

-I'll take YOU on now. No...!

It's time for the Gatka fighting

main event!

First up, its Chris "Cobra" Johnston

against Gatka expert Amandeep.

The Cobra has only 60 seconds

to get a high score!

-Fight!

-Let's get ready to rumble!

And that's two points already.

Oh, it really is about emotion, isn't it?

And a three-pointer! Chris is already up against it here.

This isn't going to be pretty. That guy is fast.

Oh, that's a point for a tap on the knee...

Oh, and another point! Watch your footwork, Chris.

Oh, but look, Chris has got one back!

Amandeep is not looking too happy, he's out for revenge...

..and he gets it.

Don't look away, Johny, you're up next.

Oh, Chris sneaks another point!

A speedy reply there, though.

And...

Oh!

Two more points for the upper body hit.

-Half point.

-Oh, shield's a half point, OK!

Oh!

-And that's three to add to the score.

-Finish.

-Oh!

-Handshake.

My friend.

You'll go far! Good work.

The Cobra did well to get two hits in against Amandeep,

but his footwork let him down.

Next up is Johny "Python" Pitts!

-Fight!

-The match begins.

And the Python is already half a point down.

Good defence.

But not so much there. Two points for the arm tap...

Fancy footwork, Johny!

-Point!

-His footwork's really good.

And he reacts really well, he snaps into a defence position.

But his biggest problem is he keeps being hit.

Can't argue with that, Chris!

But Johny still has zero points.

Oh!

Two more points against Johny.

But he's not giving up. He's making a move

and...he gets two points!

Oh, and then he loses points.

I think I'm getting beaten pretty badly here.

Yes, you are, Johny, but we love a tryer on this show -

even if you did just lose two more points!

And that's a three-pointer.

Gurmeet brings the bout to a close. Oh, I hope Johny isn't hurting.

So, both the Cobra and the Python managed two points against Amandeep,

but Chris did take more hits.

Will that count against him

or has he shown enough fancy footwork to take the trophy?

-INTERPRETER:

-The All Over The Place winner is...

Johny!

Thank you so much.

I came, I saw -

and now I FEEL really sore.

You've been watching All Over The Place: Asia!
