Then join Ed Petrie.

0:00:060:00:08

-I've just fed a panda!

-And his CBBC mates...

0:00:080:00:11

..on a bonkers and brilliant journey around...

0:00:120:00:15

Asia! Asia! Asia!

0:00:150:00:17

It's going to be epic.

0:00:170:00:18

That's amazing.

0:00:180:00:19

We'll take part in some of Asia's most spectacular and crazy events...

0:00:190:00:24

..like this mud festival in South Korea.

0:00:260:00:28

I can't wait to get stuck in. Yes!

0:00:300:00:33

So, are you ready to go...

0:00:330:00:35

# All Over The Place

0:00:350:00:38

# All Over The Place

0:00:380:00:39

# North, South, East, West on a bizarre quest

0:00:400:00:43

# Me and my mates All Over The Place

0:00:430:00:46

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

0:00:460:00:48

# Whatever we do is strange but true

0:00:480:00:51

# All Over The Place

0:00:510:00:53

# All Over The Place

0:00:530:00:56

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

0:00:560:00:58

# And it turns up All Over The Place. #

0:00:580:01:01

-Ah, Cel, there you are.

-Hi, Ed.

0:01:120:01:14

Got a question for you.

0:01:140:01:15

Can you guess what is my favourite vegetable?

0:01:150:01:18

Is it cabbage?

0:01:180:01:21

Nope.

0:01:210:01:22

-Cauliflower?

-Close, but no.

0:01:220:01:24

I'm a... "Hiya, I'm a...?"

0:01:240:01:27

-Pea?

-Carrot, Ed.

0:01:270:01:29

Carrot is my favourite vegetable, and I've heard round here they do

0:01:290:01:32

my favourite dish, carrot cake.

0:01:320:01:33

Oh, right.

0:01:330:01:35

Well, you know carrots aren't actually a rabbit's natural food?

0:01:350:01:38

And also, they don't help you see in the dark.

0:01:380:01:41

It's a myth. A myth!

0:01:410:01:42

All right, Ed. Well, what, are you going to tell me that carrot cake

0:01:420:01:45

doesn't contain carrot next?

0:01:450:01:47

Well, Cel, Ed might not, but I will.

0:01:480:01:51

Strange but true, Singapore's signature dish, the carrot cake,

0:01:510:01:55

does not contain any carrot at all.

0:01:550:01:57

It's not even a cake.

0:01:570:01:59

In actual fact, it's a stir-fry dish.

0:01:590:02:02

The best place to munch this meal is at one of Singapore's famous

0:02:020:02:05

street food centres called hawker centres,

0:02:050:02:08

where all kinds of international foods are on offer,

0:02:080:02:12

just as you'd expect from such a cosmopolitan city.

0:02:120:02:15

But if you are in the mood for carrot cake,

0:02:150:02:18

then look for one that says carrot cake above the door.

0:02:180:02:22

Like this one where Poon works.

0:02:220:02:25

I wanted to know, Singapore carrot cake, does it contain carrots,

0:02:260:02:30

-yes or no?

-No.

0:02:300:02:32

-Is it at least orange?

-No.

0:02:320:02:34

We've got white carrot cake or black carrot cake.

0:02:340:02:36

Oh, it's not even orange!

0:02:360:02:38

The white one is a salty one. The black one is a sweet one.

0:02:380:02:42

No orange. So, why is it called carrot cake?

0:02:420:02:44

Because the locals, they call radishes carrots.

0:02:440:02:47

Ah, they call radishes carrots.

0:02:480:02:51

Well, I think while we're here,

0:02:510:02:52

I was wondering if you could maybe teach me to cook carrot cake?

0:02:520:02:55

-I can teach you now.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Yes!

0:02:550:02:57

See you later, Ed. Not you, mate.

0:02:570:02:59

On your bike, mate.

0:02:590:03:00

Asia's tastiest food, France's toughest critic.

0:03:000:03:04

He is better than you. It's Rene Mangetout.

0:03:040:03:08

I, Rene Mangetout,

0:03:100:03:12

challenge you, Cel Spellman, and you, Mr Carrot Cake Man,

0:03:120:03:18

to cook me a delish radish dish. That is my wish.

0:03:180:03:21

Or what about a fish?

0:03:210:03:23

I do not wish fish. I wish a delish radish dish. That is my wish.

0:03:230:03:26

-What, now?

-Oui.

0:03:260:03:29

-In we go.

-OK.

0:03:290:03:30

Sizzling!

0:03:320:03:33

First, we excite the radish gently in the hot oil.

0:03:330:03:36

Next, drizzle the eggy garlic infusion onto the radish.

0:03:410:03:45

And divide to serve four lucky diners.

0:03:470:03:51

HE YELPS

0:03:510:03:52

The white cake is complete.

0:03:520:03:54

HE GAGS

0:03:560:03:57

Ah!

0:03:590:04:00

Now, for the sweet black cake.

0:04:020:04:04

It's the sauce, soy, that gives the cake its rich dark colour.

0:04:040:04:09

If you wish to impress me,

0:04:100:04:12

perhaps you could use my favourite sauce that is very rare.

0:04:120:04:16

It is made with tomatoes.

0:04:160:04:18

Oh...

0:04:180:04:20

..the ketchup?

0:04:200:04:21

No, you must catch up. You are running out of time.

0:04:210:04:24

HE CLAPS

0:04:240:04:26

Where is my carrot cake, Monsieur?

0:04:260:04:28

This is the worst service I have ever seen.

0:04:280:04:30

Mr Mangetout, whenever you're ready.

0:04:300:04:32

Rene must now choose between Cel's salty, aromatic white carrot cake,

0:04:340:04:41

and Poon's rich, dark carrot cake.

0:04:410:04:45

Terribly exciting.

0:04:450:04:47

Ugh! Ugh, no.

0:04:490:04:50

This is very "Singa-poor," Monsieur.

0:04:500:04:54

-You didn't even try it.

-I did try it.

-It even didn't go in your mouth.

0:04:540:04:57

-Mr Carrot Man.

-Yeah.

0:04:570:04:59

I do not like it...

0:05:080:05:09

..I love it!

0:05:100:05:12

It is just like Maman used to make.

0:05:120:05:15

You are a genius in the kitchen!

0:05:150:05:17

Thank you very much.

0:05:170:05:20

Now get chopping the carrots.

0:05:200:05:21

-Where are we, Doctor? Where else?

-Victorian England.

0:05:370:05:40

We're here on a mission of great importance.

0:05:400:05:42

It's those Daleks again, isn't it?

0:05:420:05:44

I'm sick of those intergalactic pepper pots.

0:05:440:05:46

No, it's much more pressing than that, Johnny.

0:05:460:05:48

It was Captain Jack's birthday yesterday, so we need to go back and

0:05:480:05:51

get him a cool present.

0:05:510:05:52

I love that guy. Let the quest begin.

0:05:520:05:54

You know, I don't recall there being so many 21st-century tourists

0:05:550:05:59

-in Victorian England.

-No, and why are some of the shop signs in Hindi?

0:05:590:06:02

Are you sure we're in the right place, Doctor?

0:06:020:06:04

I'll check the sonic spoon.

0:06:040:06:05

Hang on a minute. This isn't England.

0:06:060:06:09

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:06:090:06:11

He's right, you know.

0:06:130:06:14

THEY CHUCKLE

0:06:140:06:15

That took you long enough.

0:06:150:06:17

No, it's not quite England, but this place was once known as

0:06:170:06:22

Little England.

0:06:220:06:23

That's because when the British ruled India,

0:06:230:06:26

they came here to Shimla to cool down in the hot summer months.

0:06:260:06:30

It's built up a mountain,

0:06:300:06:32

so it's a lot cooler than the cities down below.

0:06:320:06:35

Although maybe not as cool now our two intrepid

0:06:350:06:39

time travellers have arrived.

0:06:390:06:42

The Doctor and Johnny,

0:06:420:06:44

you have 38 seconds to find out as much as you can about Shimla.

0:06:440:06:50

The Doctor, you have Sumit,

0:06:500:06:52

who is an expert on the history of the British Raj.

0:06:520:06:56

Johnny, you have Yogita, who knows all about Shimla today.

0:06:560:07:01

Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner.

0:07:010:07:04

Yogita, is Shimla still the capital?

0:07:100:07:12

Why does Shimla look like a Victorian English village?

0:07:150:07:18

Because of its architecture.

0:07:180:07:19

How cold can Shimla get in the winter?

0:07:190:07:21

-Brr! I'm cold just thinking about it.

-When did the British leave?

0:07:240:07:27

1947, but, yes, after that, many people decided to stay here.

0:07:270:07:31

And how high is Shimla?

0:07:310:07:33

Might be an odd question.

0:07:360:07:38

Have you seen any Daleks lately?

0:07:380:07:39

Daleks? No.

0:07:390:07:41

-There are ghosts, but no aliens.

-Oh, right.

0:07:410:07:44

What's that big snow-capped mountain called over there?

0:07:440:07:46

BUZZER

0:07:460:07:48

Oh, dear, out of time...

0:07:480:07:50

..which is odd for me.

0:07:500:07:52

And the person who found out the most facts is...

0:07:520:07:56

-..Johnny.

-Yes!

0:07:570:07:59

He wins a guided tour of Shimla, and the loser has to be his guide.

0:07:590:08:05

Oh, easy peasy for an intergalactic traveller like me.

0:08:050:08:08

-Come on, then. Give us a tour round, Doctor How.

-Who.

-What?

0:08:080:08:11

Welcome to the Lower Bazaar.

0:08:170:08:18

This is where the lower ranks of the Victorian Shimla would've been

0:08:180:08:21

living in the 19th century.

0:08:210:08:22

Yes, but also a great place to find the captain a present.

0:08:220:08:25

I mean, look at this. He'd absolutely love this.

0:08:250:08:28

Yes, his wardrobe does need a bit of variety.

0:08:280:08:29

I swear, he has not washed that coat of his since the Second World War.

0:08:290:08:33

Yeah, it's starting to pong a bit now.

0:08:330:08:34

That's our mission accomplished. Shall we get back to saving

0:08:340:08:37

-the universe?

-I think we've earned a little rest first.

0:08:370:08:39

How about one more stop?

0:08:390:08:40

Welcome to the Mall.

0:08:430:08:45

This is where the Brits would come to chillax and take a stroll in the

0:08:450:08:48

cool evening air.

0:08:480:08:49

Hang on a minute, weren't they supposed to be running the country?

0:08:490:08:52

True, but they had fun as well.

0:08:520:08:53

That's why they built an ice rink, a racecourse, a golf course,

0:08:530:08:56

and even this theatre.

0:08:560:08:59

Well, they certainly knew how to enjoy themselves.

0:08:590:09:01

We should go and catch a show. Did you know that Rudyard Kipling,

0:09:010:09:03

author of The Jungle Book, performed when he lived here?

0:09:030:09:06

No way! Should we go back in time and watch it?

0:09:060:09:09

-Now, where did I park the TARDIS?

-Oh, he's doing it again.

0:09:090:09:12

BOOING

0:09:120:09:13

Thank you, thank you!

0:09:130:09:15

BOOING

0:09:150:09:17

Oh, my public adore me.

0:09:170:09:19

The reviews are in.

0:09:200:09:22

Rudyard Kipling, the actor...

0:09:220:09:24

Runs in the blood, dear boy.

0:09:240:09:26

..is both horrid AND vulgar.

0:09:260:09:29

Oh, please, I'm sure they're just being kind.

0:09:290:09:32

What? Oh, no!

0:09:320:09:34

Oh, no, I'm a failure, a failure.

0:09:340:09:37

A big, talentless, terribly handsome failure.

0:09:370:09:40

Oh, don't be like that, Rudyard.

0:09:400:09:42

-Listen, maybe it's just that acting's not for you.

-Well...

0:09:420:09:45

Acting's not for you.

0:09:450:09:47

But you've got a pen. Maybe you could try your hand at writing?

0:09:470:09:52

Yes! I could write something and then act in it.

0:09:520:09:56

No, no, no. I was thinking more you could write a book set in the

0:09:560:10:00

jungle about a young boy called Mowgli who was raised by wolves

0:10:000:10:06

and comes across an evil tiger named Shere Khan or something.

0:10:060:10:10

Yes, and I could play Shere Khan, probably with a Scottish accent.

0:10:100:10:14

I'm Shere Khan. Get oot the jungle!

0:10:140:10:17

How about a poem?

0:10:170:10:19

"If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs?"

0:10:190:10:24

I can see the film now.

0:10:240:10:26

Rudyard Kipling is Detective Kipling,

0:10:260:10:29

a man who kept his head when all about him were losing theirs.

0:10:290:10:36

No, no, no, it's not a film about being a cop.

0:10:360:10:41

It's a poem about how to be a man.

0:10:410:10:43

"If you can wait and not be tired by waiting."

0:10:430:10:47

But I hate waiting!

0:10:490:10:51

As much as I hate poetry!

0:10:510:10:53

Let's forget this writing nonsense.

0:10:530:10:55

There's only way Rudyard Kipling is going to win the Nobel Prize

0:10:550:10:59

and that, good sir, is as an act-tor.

0:10:590:11:02

My adoring public await.

0:11:020:11:05

Encore!

0:11:050:11:06

BOOING

0:11:060:11:08

I tried. It could've been worse, I suppose.

0:11:080:11:11

I could've suggested he make exceedingly good cakes.

HE CLUCKS

0:14:350:14:37

-Are you all right, Inel?

-Yeah.

0:14:390:14:41

You seem a bit bowled over.

0:14:410:14:43

-Oh, yes.

-Cos of the bowls!

-Very, very witty.

0:14:430:14:46

Right, now. These chicken bowls are of traditional design,

0:14:460:14:50

brought over to Thailand at the beginning of the 20th century

0:14:500:14:53

by Chinese settlers from the Canton region.

0:14:530:14:57

I've been pecking around for one of these beauties for years.

0:14:570:15:01

You could eat a fair bit of your favourite brekkie cereal out of one

0:15:010:15:04

of these.

0:15:040:15:05

I'm not sure how you'd get on the plane, though.

0:15:050:15:07

No, no, no, you giant turkey. They're far too big.

0:15:070:15:10

I'm looking for the perfect chicken bowl.

0:15:100:15:12

One with the purest porcelain and the most specific circumference.

0:15:120:15:16

Do you have any idea where I might be able to find one?

0:15:160:15:18

-Do you now what, Inel?

-Yes?

0:15:180:15:20

I think I cock-a-doodle-do!

0:15:200:15:23

-They're all chicken-based.

-What?

0:15:250:15:28

Perhaps Johnny is suggesting the world's largest chicken bowl

0:15:280:15:32

factory and museum in Lampang, northern Thailand.

0:15:320:15:36

I'll tell you, Inel'll be cock-a-hoop, because it's famous

0:15:360:15:39

for making beautiful handmade ceramic bowls with chickens on them.

0:15:390:15:43

And all you need now is a chicken bowl full of noodles or rice.

0:15:430:15:47

In fact, Thai people eat a whopping 144 kilogrammes of rice each year!

0:15:470:15:53

That's about the same weight as two Ed Sheerans.

0:15:530:15:56

But before lunchtime, let's meet a real bowl expert,

0:15:570:16:01

ceramic museum and factory owner, Yu-Pin.

0:16:010:16:04

Hello, Yu-Pin.

0:16:050:16:06

SHE SPEAKS THAI

0:16:060:16:08

-My friend here is looking for the perfect chicken bowl.

-Yes.

0:16:080:16:11

He thinks he's a bit of a connoisseur.

0:16:110:16:12

Are we in the right place?

0:16:120:16:15

TRANSLATION: Yes, you are correct, you've come to the right place.

0:16:150:16:17

This is the factory that first made the chicken bowl in Thailand.

0:16:170:16:21

Right here.

0:16:210:16:22

Yes, classic chicken bowls. Yes, if I'm not mistaken.

0:16:220:16:26

TRANSLATION: That's right. This is the design that's been done here

0:16:270:16:30

for 100 years, and we're still doing it today.

0:16:300:16:33

Oh, I see. So what does it mean?

0:16:330:16:35

TRANSLATION: Well, the flower pattern is a Chinese symbol.

0:16:350:16:38

The rooster is a symbol of hard work, as it wakes up very early.

0:16:380:16:42

And the banana tree, the leaf, and grass are symbolic of the farmers.

0:16:420:16:46

-Great people.

-Oh, that's really interesting.

-Mmm!

0:16:460:16:49

Did you know that?

0:16:490:16:50

Why, yes, of course!

0:16:500:16:52

Everybody knows that.

0:16:520:16:53

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:16:530:16:55

Inel might be a know-it-all, but I bet he didn't know that traditional

0:16:550:16:59

chicken bowls are actually octagonal and not round.

0:16:590:17:04

I'm not scared to tell him either. I'm not a chicken!

0:17:040:17:06

HE CLUCKS

0:17:070:17:09

With more than 21 billion of us in the world,

0:17:130:17:15

there are more chickens than any other bird species.

0:17:150:17:18

Stick that in your beak!

0:17:180:17:20

HE CLUCKS

0:17:200:17:21

So, what came first, the chicken or the egg?

0:17:210:17:24

Well, the first animals to have hard-based shells were reptiles,

0:17:240:17:28

like dinosaurs.

0:17:280:17:29

So, that means that it was the egg.

0:17:290:17:30

Or does that mean it was the chicken?

0:17:310:17:34

Hmm...

0:17:340:17:35

Chickens are the closest living relative to the T Rex.

0:17:350:17:38

Fact!

0:17:380:17:39

DINOSAUR ROARS

0:17:390:17:41

Thai people love eating chicken.

0:17:410:17:42

They like to eat the whole bird,

0:17:420:17:44

including the chicken hearts, and even the chicken feet.

0:17:440:17:47

Hmm...

0:17:470:17:49

Chickens are the inspiration behind my favourite dance,

0:17:490:17:52

the funky chicken.

0:17:520:17:53

HE CLUCKS

0:17:530:17:55

I wonder how antique expert Inel is getting on finding the perfect

0:17:580:18:02

chicken bowl.

0:18:020:18:04

First up, the smallest chicken bowl.

0:18:040:18:07

So, Yu-Pin, what exactly are we looking at here?

0:18:070:18:11

TRANSLATION: This is the smallest chicken bowl in the world.

0:18:110:18:14

It's the size of a grain of rice. It's tiny!

0:18:140:18:17

Ah, yes,

0:18:170:18:19

very impressive craftsmanship, but frightfully too small for my taste.

0:18:190:18:22

Next.

0:18:220:18:24

SHE SPEAKS THAI

0:18:240:18:25

Oh, this bowl looks very impressive, Yu-Pin.

0:18:270:18:30

TRANSLATION: Thank you. Well, this is the golden chicken bowl,

0:18:300:18:33

painted with golden liquid, which has added great value to the bowl.

0:18:330:18:37

Inel, this has got to be the one.

0:18:370:18:39

Hmm, I'm afraid this is way out of my budget, young lady.

0:18:390:18:43

Perhaps you have something a bit more fitting?

0:18:430:18:45

TRANSLATION: Oh, yes, you can even decorate your own bowl with flair.

0:18:450:18:50

Well, that sounds perfect. Take me there.

0:18:500:18:52

Here in the factory, only three are trusted to do the actual painting -

0:18:540:18:59

Yu-Pin and her two apprentices.

0:18:590:19:02

Traditionally, the artists would hold two or three brushes at the

0:19:020:19:06

same time and twirl the strokes for a fast painting.

0:19:060:19:10

I've got a feeling our two turkeys will be winging it.

0:19:100:19:14

Yes, as you can see with mine,

0:19:140:19:16

I've tried to remain consistent to the classic design,

0:19:160:19:19

whilst also trying to add my personal flourish,

0:19:190:19:22

but not quite the reproduction of the antique I was looking for.

0:19:220:19:26

Yeah... Well, I've gone for the more personal touch.

0:19:280:19:33

Johnny.

0:19:330:19:34

Cockerel. Hen.

0:19:350:19:38

Johnnie Cochrane, Cockerel-en.

0:19:380:19:40

Oh, right. That's what you went for.

0:19:400:19:43

Chickens are eggs-cellent, aren't they?

0:19:430:19:47

So, you never managed to find the perfect chicken bowl, Inel?

0:19:470:19:50

-But at least we got to design our own ones.

-Yes, I suppose so.

0:19:500:19:54

-Hang on, what's that you got there, old boy?

-Oh, this?

0:19:540:19:57

It's just one I bought from the shop. It's a gift for my Nan.

0:19:570:20:00

Johnny, it's perfect!

0:20:000:20:02

You're a genius. This is the one.

0:20:020:20:04

-This is the one I've been looking for.

-Really?

0:20:040:20:07

What, do you think it could be worth 2 million quid?

0:20:070:20:10

No, you nincompoop!

0:20:100:20:12

This is perfect for my haircut.

0:20:120:20:14

Yes.

0:20:140:20:15

Ah, Ed, thanks for booking this beauty treatment for us.

0:20:340:20:37

No problem. I thought we deserved a little treat.

0:20:370:20:40

This is exciting. What've you got planned?

0:20:400:20:42

A local speciality. Some sort of facemask.

0:20:420:20:45

Apparently, the sea mud here is really good for your skin.

0:20:450:20:48

-Oh, that sounds nice. It must be popular then?

-Oh, yeah!

0:20:480:20:51

Over two million people a year come to Boryeong to get covered in mud.

0:20:510:20:54

Covered? As in, on your face?

0:20:560:20:58

Er, yeah, I think so.

0:20:580:21:00

I wasn't really paying attention.

0:21:000:21:02

-Ed?

-Yes.

0:21:020:21:03

-We're about to get covered in mud, aren't we?

-Probably, yes.

0:21:030:21:06

SHE SCREAMS

0:21:060:21:08

Ed!

0:21:080:21:10

HE SPITS

0:21:100:21:12

Well, I think you look more beautiful already.

0:21:120:21:14

Top marks for getting into the spirit of things right away,

0:21:160:21:19

because this is the Mud Festival, South Korea's messiest event.

0:21:190:21:24

All started because a beauty company wanted to promote skin care

0:21:240:21:27

products like mud packs using the mineral rich mud from this area.

0:21:270:21:33

Over 400,000 people visit the festival each year for

0:21:330:21:37

mud, mud, glorious mud!

0:21:370:21:40

It's definitely one party you don't want to wear your best clothes to.

0:21:400:21:44

I do hope Ed and Tee Cee get cleaned up to meet Mr Mud himself, Chun-Ho.

0:21:440:21:50

So, what is this place? Why are we behind bars?

0:21:500:21:54

TRANSLATION: Well, no doubt. This is mud prison,

0:21:540:21:57

and it's where people go when they look too clean, like you two.

0:21:570:22:01

So, I guess there's definitely nowhere to stay clean in here today?

0:22:020:22:06

TRANSLATION: No. In fact, the muddier you are,

0:22:060:22:09

the more you enjoy the festival.

0:22:090:22:11

And if you get too clean, you'll end up back here.

0:22:110:22:14

HE LAUGHS

0:22:140:22:16

So, does all the mud come from the beach here?

0:22:160:22:19

TRANSLATION: No, no, no.

0:22:190:22:21

No, this mud comes from a different beach 10km away,

0:22:210:22:24

and it gets delivered here in trucks. Can you believe that?

0:22:240:22:27

HE LAUGHS

0:22:270:22:28

-They go to a lot of effort.

-They really do.

0:22:300:22:32

I can't wait to get stuck in. Yes!

0:22:320:22:34

Come on, let's do this.

0:22:340:22:36

Yeah!

0:22:370:22:38

Make me muddy!

0:22:380:22:40

SHE CHEERS

0:22:400:22:41

THEY SCREAM

0:22:410:22:45

LAUGHTER

0:22:450:22:47

I think it's pretty safe to say that I'm a bit muddier now.

0:22:490:22:53

Thank you very much.

0:22:530:22:54

That was a muddy experience! Thank you.

0:22:540:22:57

-I can't believe we're going to get even more muddy!

-Yeah!

0:22:570:23:00

Bring on the mud!

0:23:000:23:02

Time for the first of three challenges - mud pillow fighting.

0:23:020:23:06

Whoever falls off is the loser.

0:23:060:23:08

That's going to be you.

0:23:090:23:11

Oh, yeah, you think?

0:23:110:23:13

SHE SCREAMS

0:23:130:23:14

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:23:180:23:20

SHE SCREAMS

0:23:200:23:22

No face.

0:23:220:23:23

No face!

0:23:230:23:25

Ed's cheating! In the face.

0:23:290:23:31

What? I'm not cheating. Am I cheating?

0:23:310:23:33

Whoa!

0:23:330:23:35

Yes! I'm the winner!

0:23:350:23:38

CHUCKLING

0:23:380:23:40

Let's take a look at that again.

0:23:400:23:41

Ed's slightly distracted, and Tee Cee goes in for the kill.

0:23:410:23:45

A dirty move.

0:23:450:23:46

And she's got a little present for Ed.

0:23:460:23:49

Any last words?

0:23:490:23:51

Erm...

0:23:510:23:52

This isn't fair. You distracted me.

0:23:520:23:55

Oh, that is a lot of mud!

0:23:570:23:59

While we're in a slow-mo kind of mood, let's see that again.

0:24:000:24:04

Oh, I'll tell you what, let's see it backwards too.

0:24:040:24:09

There's mud in my eye.

0:24:090:24:10

Oh, let's get your t-shirt first. That's the most important bit.

0:24:100:24:13

Oh, yes, yes, make me nice and clean.

0:24:130:24:15

All Over The Place.

0:24:150:24:17

With victory in round one going to a confident Tee Cee,

0:24:180:24:22

Ed needs to win the next challenge to take it to a decider.

0:24:220:24:26

Right, what next, what next?

0:24:260:24:28

I saw a slide over there.

0:24:280:24:30

What about that slide?

0:24:300:24:32

Yeah? Yeah?

0:24:330:24:35

Challenge two - the super slide.

0:24:360:24:38

First to the bottom and a dirty dunk in the pool of filth is the winner.

0:24:380:24:43

Oh, soggy pants.

0:24:430:24:46

SHE SCREAMS

0:24:490:24:52

-No!

-I beat you!

0:25:000:25:02

Yes!

0:25:020:25:04

Oh, thank you, security.

0:25:040:25:05

Security, there's a very dirty woman in here. Throw her out.

0:25:070:25:10

Ed's muddied the water for Tee Cee and evened up the score,

0:25:100:25:15

which means it's everything to play for in the last round,

0:25:150:25:18

and it's the toughest challenge yet.

0:25:180:25:22

This baby.

0:25:220:25:23

Whoever gets to the end and stands on the platform first is the winner.

0:25:230:25:30

It's the mud obstacle course.

0:25:300:25:32

And they're off!

0:25:350:25:37

Who's going to get into the lead first off?

0:25:370:25:39

Ed getting pushed behind.

0:25:390:25:40

Oh, look at this. Tee Cee's taken an early lead and she's about to get

0:25:400:25:44

on to the next inflatible as Ed comes up as well.

0:25:440:25:47

And that isn't looking very secure.

0:25:470:25:50

Hold on tight, guys.

0:25:500:25:51

And oh, no! Ed's in and so is Tee Cee.

0:25:510:25:54

They're both in the mud.

0:25:540:25:56

Come on, Tee Cee, you can do it. You can...

0:25:580:26:00

Oh, I think she's dodging part of the course. Referee!

0:26:000:26:04

And there's Ed. He's up again. Oh, he's down again.

0:26:040:26:07

She's through.

0:26:090:26:10

A bit more dodging going on here.

0:26:100:26:13

Oh, Ed!

0:26:170:26:18

They're pretty much neck and neck.

0:26:210:26:24

Oh, she's in. He's in as well!

0:26:240:26:26

That's it, Tee Cee. Oh, no, she's down.

0:26:280:26:30

What are you guys doing?

0:26:310:26:34

Oh, I think Ed's got a handhold.

0:26:340:26:36

Yes, Ed's making his way along.

0:26:360:26:38

Will he be the first to stand on the platform or will it be Tee Cee?

0:26:380:26:42

-I won!

-No, I won.

0:26:450:26:46

-No...

-I won.

-..it was me!

0:26:460:26:48

-You were in the water. I'm clearly the winner.

-It was me, actually.

0:26:480:26:51

Thank you, Korea!

0:26:510:26:53

While they're debating, let's look at the action replay.

0:26:530:26:57

And Ed is the first to stand up on the platform,

0:26:570:27:01

which means it's official.

0:27:010:27:03

The winner is...

0:27:030:27:04

Ed!

0:27:060:27:08

-Yes! I love mud.

-Really?

-Yeah.

0:27:080:27:10

I knew I was the winner.

0:27:100:27:11

Well, if you really love mud that much, then...

0:27:130:27:16

Oh, yeah!

0:27:160:27:17
