0:00:14 > 0:00:16Asia. Asia. Asia. Asia!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It's going to be epic!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Oh! It's amazing.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Yay! Let's do this.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25We've got loads of brain-boggling facts to tell you about.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Welcome to All Over The Place.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Can I watch it?- You're in it.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33We'll take part in some of Asia's most spectacular
0:00:33 > 0:00:35and craziest events!
0:00:35 > 0:00:36How far's the sea?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38I'm coming to get you!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40So, are you ready to go?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42# All over the place
0:00:43 > 0:00:45# All over the place
0:00:46 > 0:00:48# North, south, east, west On a bizarre quest
0:00:48 > 0:00:50# Me and my mates All over the place!
0:00:50 > 0:00:53# It's true what you've heard Everything is absurd
0:00:53 > 0:00:56# Whatever we do is strange but true!
0:00:56 > 0:00:57# All over the place
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# All over the place
0:01:01 > 0:01:04# There's stuff to do in Asia that is totally ace
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- # And it turns up... - ..all over the place! #
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Naomi?- Shush, Ed! Where's your disguise?
0:01:21 > 0:01:23The commoners are going to recognise us.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Er, don't you think you're taking "experience life as an emperor"
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- a little bit too far? - No, I don't.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31If we behave like emperors from hundreds of years ago,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35we could get access to the Temple of Heaven.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Yeah, but the emperors didn't hide from people
0:01:36 > 0:01:38wearing rubbish disguises.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40They banned the public from coming anywhere near them.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42What's that for? You going to shoo away the common people?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Oh, you are rubbish at this.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Every year, an emperor would bring offerings to the temple
0:01:46 > 0:01:47for a good harvest,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51so I thought I'd sacrifice my umbrella for sunshine.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I wouldn't sacrifice your umbrella on a day like this.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03It seems the rain in Beijing falls mainly on...not the plain,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05but this place, Tiantan,
0:02:05 > 0:02:10which is the official name of the Temple of Heaven.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Here, rain is considered a good thing.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14For over 500 years,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17ancient Chinese emperors would come here and pray
0:02:17 > 0:02:20for the perfect weather to help crops grow,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24but since 1912, this place has been a right royal tourist attraction.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Well, when it's sunny.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Ed and Naomi,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32you have 37 seconds to find out as much as you can
0:02:32 > 0:02:35about the Temple of Heaven.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Ed, you have Li Li, who's an expert on the buildings.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Naomi, you have Mr Xing,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44who knows all about the ceremonies they performed here.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49San, er, yi - qu!
0:02:51 > 0:02:55OK, so, Mr Xing, who performed the ceremonies here?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- TRANSLATION:- The emperor, very important man.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Which building was used to pray to the gods?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03What kind of ceremonies would they hold here?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Is it things like weddings?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07They wouldn't have weddings.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09They are offering a sacrifice to the heavens.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13The worship of Heaven - dance, music and things.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15How many people visit every year?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19And how often would they pray here?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, you would pray at least twice a year.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Once in the winter, and then once in springtime.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Only twice a year?
0:03:27 > 0:03:28- KLAXON - Oh, time's up.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I wonder how we got on.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33And the winner is...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Naomi!- Oh, yes!
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Your prize is a selfie at lots of the different locations here.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Ed, you're the one taking the photos.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Get a move on before the public turn up.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Voiceover man, it's 2.7 million square metres big.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Yeah, that's like 10,000 tennis courts side-by-side.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56How are we supposed to get around all that?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Well, stop looking at me and get your skates on, then.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Whoa!- Look at this, we've got it all to ourselves!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08So, this is the hall of prayer for good harvest,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10plenty of room for praying.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Still going to sacrifice your umbrella?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Er, I might do that a little bit later, actually.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Yeah, I thought you might.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So, apparently, the blue represents Heaven,
0:04:18 > 0:04:19and the red represents the emperor -
0:04:19 > 0:04:21so this is where Heaven and the emperor meet.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Ah! Well, you know what I'm thinking, then?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- What?- Good place for a selfie?
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Oh, yes!
0:04:29 > 0:04:30CAMERA CLICKS
0:04:32 > 0:04:34So, I've noticed that that building is round,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36but the wall all around the outside is square.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Do you think that's significant?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Nah, probably not.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43This is a boffin's guide to the Temple of Heaven.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49At the Temple, Earth is represented by a square, like this.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Yes, a square.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Hold on one moment.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56This is not a square. The sides are not all equal.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- This, sir, is a rectangle. - No, it's a square.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Notice some buildings in the Temple are circular.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08This is because Heaven is represented by a circle.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Like this.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11This is not a circle.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14The curve is not always equidistant to the centre.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17This, sir, is an oval.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19No, it's a circle.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Are you really a boffin?
0:05:21 > 0:05:22No.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I believe that this is the Imperial Vault of Heaven.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32That's right, because this is where the emperor came to pray to Heaven.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Another place - how many places does this guy need?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I don't think you could have too many.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Apparently this one burnt down in 1889.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Really?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41No chance of that happening today.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Because it's raining.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Have we mentioned it's raining?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Time for a soggy selfie?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51CAMERA CLICKS
0:05:52 > 0:05:54This is the Echo Wall.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57With its perfect radius and smooth surface, apparently,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59if I whisper something right here,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Ed can hear exactly I'm saying way over there.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03What?!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Oh. It's broken.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Hang on a minute...
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Someone's nicked the building!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Police, police!- No...
0:06:12 > 0:06:13This is the Circular Mound Altar,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15there was never a building here in the first place.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18And guess what they did here?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Eat ice creams?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Or...?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Pray?- Yep.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26So, right here, that's where the emperor would stand.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Right in the middle?- Mm-hm.- Wow.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Just imagine all the emperors that have stood there.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Yeah.- Royal selfie? - Ooh, yeah, let's do it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36CAMERA CLICKS
0:06:38 > 0:06:41OK, voiceover man, it may have been a very, very rainy day,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43but we have got some great snaps for you, haven't we?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Great job - let's have a look at the pics.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- You're going to love these. - Yeah, they're so good!
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Oh.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Oh, Ed, you've had the camera round the wrong way every single time!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Ah.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's why I've always been so rubbish at selfies.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Ugh...!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Oh, oh, sorry I'm late, I'm sorry I'm late.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Hang on a second - you look nice.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I feel a little bit underdressed now, what are you doing?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine, fine.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Are you sure? Because you're acting a little bit weird.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Are you sure you're OK? - I'm not! I'm fine.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Nothing wrong with me!- Oh, OK.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Actually, there is.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I just want to ask you something, because, you know,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38we've known each other a while, haven't we?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Not that long...but, we get on, don't we?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42We have a laugh, I like you, you like me.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Yeah, yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Why...why are you asking that? - Well, I was just wondering if...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49if-if maybe you'd like to...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51What, what, what? Like to what? Like to what?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54..catch a flying chicken on a spike whilst riding a unicycle?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Oh!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Oh, I thought you were going to... Anyway.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I mean, does it involve a catapult?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Yes.- Oh! A chicken, you say?
0:08:02 > 0:08:08- Yes.- Well, in that case, Edward Oliver James Petrie, I do!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10And I do too!
0:08:11 > 0:08:12The Ka Tron restaurant,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14which literally means "flying chicken",
0:08:14 > 0:08:18is famous for catapulting chickens onto waiters' heads,
0:08:18 > 0:08:20giving a whole new meaning to "fast food".
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The waiters catch 50 to 60 chickens a day.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30That would be nearly 22,000 chickens a year.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Don't get comfortable, guys -
0:08:33 > 0:08:36there's no time for a chicken dinner just yet.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38We need to get serious for a moment.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40There's going to be flying birds,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42unicycles and helmets with sharp spikes,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45so you need to change into more appropriate clothing,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47as safety is very important.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That's much better.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54HE CHUCKLES You're both looking rather chirpy.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Step one! Propel that poultry.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Time to learn how to make that food fly with a catapult lesson.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Ooh!- Strong.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Lock the catapult in position, load it up and watch it fly!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Yeah!- Yeah!
0:09:14 > 0:09:15- Yeah!- Yeah!
0:09:15 > 0:09:16HE CLUCKS
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Step two! Chick on a stick.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22You can catapult it - but can you catch it?
0:09:22 > 0:09:23Let's find out.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Whoo!- Yay!- Yeah!
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Yes!- Yes! Yeah!- Hey-hey!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Whoop, whoop, whoop!
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Step three!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Spring chicken.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Finally, you need to cycle to get to that chicken.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I'm so going to...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Well, it looks like you're both "wheelie, wheelie" bad,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and unfortunately, it's time to put your training to the test.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Whoa...!
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Introducing EGG Petrie...
0:09:53 > 0:09:56versus Lauren "Lays An Egg Field".
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Ooh..
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I think I've got the hang of this unicycle now.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It really helps when it's...
0:10:01 > 0:10:02bolted to the floor.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03I'm so rubbish.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Let's catch a chicken!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Game on.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Yeah!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Ed's off to a flying start.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Whoa! One down, two to go.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Yes!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17But can he catch all three?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Oh, no!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Two out of three, not bad - but I'm going for the triple.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Bring it on.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Oh, yes! - Oh, strong start by Lauren -
0:10:29 > 0:10:31but is she just winging it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33One chicken!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Whaa! No!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Argh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44That must have been close!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Was it close?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Way off it, Lauren, it wasn't close enough.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49However, the restaurant dogs
0:10:49 > 0:10:52have three extra chickens for tea tonight.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Ed, you cracked that one.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- I've got some bad news, actually. - What?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The bloke on the table over there just ordered us for dinner.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- What?- Yeah, I'd run if I was you.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Aah!- Quick, quick, quick!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05It seems he's not the only one who's hungry.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08However, these next two are hungry for love.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12This is the awkward first date restaurant,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and hoping to meet her Prince Charming tonight
0:11:15 > 0:11:17is chicken-obsessed Pam.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Well, the guy I'm hoping to meet has got to love chickens, obviously.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24And he's also got to be big and strong.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Ooh, like a Greek god.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Enter Kevin.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Not so much like a Greek god,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34but an expert on Greek gods, Greek mythology
0:11:34 > 0:11:35and Greek inventions.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39And it was, of course, the Greeks that invented the first alarm clock.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Maybe you could wake me up when he stops talking.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Monsieur, madame, how is the chicken?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Oh, lovely, thank you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Did you know there are three times as many chickens
0:11:50 > 0:11:51as there are humans on the planet?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56And they're the closest living relative to the Tyrannosaurus rex?
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Rar!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00The chicken is raw?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Here.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Have the beans instead.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07You know, the Greeks believed
0:12:07 > 0:12:10that some beans contain the souls of the dead.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Maybe they called them "has-beans"!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15HE SNORTS
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'm sorry, madame, can I get you anything else?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Yeah. Yeah, you can, actually.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22A catapult, to catapult me out of here.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Funny you should mention that, actually,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28cos the Greeks invented the catapult in 400 BC.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Argh!
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Right! That's it!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34You haven't asked me one question about chickens.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36In fact, I don't even think you like chickens.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- I'm off!- Wait!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Some Greek gods believed that chickens were sacred.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44In fact, the Greek god Eros believed
0:12:44 > 0:12:49that the chicken was a symbol...of love.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Oh! Oh, Kevin!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Tell me more! Tell me more!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Well, going back to catapults,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00the name catapult actually comes from two Greek words -
0:13:00 > 0:13:04"kata", to pierce, and "pelt", meaning shield.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Thus "kata-pelt",
0:13:06 > 0:13:08a shield piercer.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I was talking about chickens!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Er... So, I'll text you, then?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32I'm Professor Brian Cox.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Wow. I'm amazing.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I'm here to show my millions and billions and trillions of fans
0:13:40 > 0:13:43the wonders of my presenting style.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Oh, and this observatory, as well, I suppose.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51# Look at the stars
0:13:51 > 0:13:55# Look how they shine for me
0:13:56 > 0:14:02# I'm so amazing, see
0:14:02 > 0:14:05# Hang on, who's this fellow?
0:14:08 > 0:14:09# Jai Singh
0:14:11 > 0:14:13# Jai Singh
0:14:13 > 0:14:16# I built observatories known as Jantar Mantars
0:14:16 > 0:14:19# So we could take measurements of the sun and stars
0:14:19 > 0:14:23# The most elaborate is right here in Jaipur
0:14:23 > 0:14:26# And it was built back in 1734
0:14:26 > 0:14:27# Jai Singh
0:14:27 > 0:14:29# There are 19 astronomical instruments
0:14:29 > 0:14:33# We used to forecast cosmological events
0:14:33 > 0:14:37# They measure time and track the stars way out in space
0:14:37 > 0:14:40# You'll find the viewers prefer to gaze at my face
0:14:40 > 0:14:42# Jai Singh
0:14:42 > 0:14:43# Astronomic pioneer
0:14:43 > 0:14:45# Jai Singh
0:14:45 > 0:14:47# I invented this stuff here
0:14:47 > 0:14:49# Jai Singh
0:14:49 > 0:14:50# My array of fans don't care
0:14:50 > 0:14:52# Jai Singh...
0:14:52 > 0:14:54# All they want to do is touch my lovely hair
0:14:54 > 0:14:55# Jai Singh
0:14:57 > 0:14:58# Jai Singh
0:15:01 > 0:15:02# Jai Singh
0:15:02 > 0:15:05# The Samrat Yantra is made from marble and rock
0:15:05 > 0:15:09# It is effectively a giant shadow clock
0:15:09 > 0:15:12# This massive bowls invert the cosmic hemisphere
0:15:12 > 0:15:15# And so do these two smaller ones just over here
0:15:15 > 0:15:16# Jai Singh
0:15:16 > 0:15:19# Ram Yantra measures the position of the sun
0:15:19 > 0:15:23# And the precision of it is second to none
0:15:23 > 0:15:26# The stars affect our life on earth is our belief
0:15:26 > 0:15:29# My viewers believe in the power of my teeth
0:15:29 > 0:15:31# Jai Singh
0:15:31 > 0:15:33# And then in 1901
0:15:33 > 0:15:35# Jai Singh

0:15:40 > 0:15:41# Jai Singh...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43# Was refurbished by a British engineer

0:15:47 > 0:15:49# Jai Singh
0:15:49 > 0:15:51# Venus, Mercury and Mars
0:15:51 > 0:15:52# Jai Singh
0:15:52 > 0:15:54# That sounds like astrology
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- # Jai Singh...- So, do you know what my life has in store for me? #
0:15:58 > 0:16:03The stars tell me that pride comes before a fall.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Wow.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, I am amazing.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Oof... Argh!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Yep, right again.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13# Jai Singh. #
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's simply amazing, actually.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33No, no, I've never done any actual real-life modelling before, per se,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- but...- Oh, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- You must be Ben!- Hello! - Meow-vellous to meet you.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Are you ready for your paw-some tour?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- What tour?- The walk around Kuching!
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Ku-ching! AKA, the cat city.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Are you saying that I'm not going to be part
0:16:50 > 0:16:52of an international fashion show
0:16:52 > 0:16:54and I'm not going to get to walk down the catwalk?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57You're signed up for the Kitty City Cat Walk.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Come on, glamourpuss. First stop, the Kuching Cat Museum.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's the only stop, it's a very short tour.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Hi, Bathiar!- Hi, give me ten!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Give me ten! Welcome to the Cat Museum.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24So, let's start the tour.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28These are cats, they're waving, and...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30This is our beckoning cats.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33The white colour will bring you happiness.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37The black colour will hinder you from any illness.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The gold colour brings you richness.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41OK, look, I'm going to stop you there, all right?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I'll take three.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Welcome to Kuching's Cat Museum.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's stuffed with all kinds of feline fun.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51This handsome devil's the Borneo Bay cat -
0:17:51 > 0:17:54one of the rarest moggies in the world.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57It's all cat-tastic here.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Bathiar, what's going on here?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00This is our local cat.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- It's tricolours.- Are they alive?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06This is preserved, actually.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07We don't have live cats here.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Oh, good, because I was worried about that little guy there.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15This is our oldest cat piece, 5,000 years old,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17and it can be found in ancient Egypt.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21So, I guess you could say she's like every other cat's mummy.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Or its great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29great, great, great-grandmummy.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Hello?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, what do you think of the tour?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36It's purr-fect.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I'm "feline" like a real cat convert.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42We'll soon see about that.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Welcome to The Cat Has Got A Hat.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I'm a cat in a hat and this is my test.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53You've got nine lives to prove you're the best.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55A place in the musical Cats is your prize,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58and to win that, you need to be wise.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Have a listen. Can you hear this cat purr?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Well, it's not the only one, oh, no, sir.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10One of these animals doesn't purr - but which one can you infer?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Is it A, gorillas?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13B, elephants?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Or C, caterpillars?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I'm going to say A, gorillas.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Oh, I see, got gorilla issues, have we?
0:19:20 > 0:19:21Because the answer is C, caterpillars.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23They can't purr.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Your gorilla phobia has just cost you one of your nine lives.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32By the age of nine, a cat has slept for how much time?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Is it A, one year?
0:19:34 > 0:19:35B, three years?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Or C, six years?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I'm going to say B, three years.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41You're wrong. It's six years -
0:19:41 > 0:19:43and I'm going to deduct six lives for that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44You've only got two left.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45That's not fair!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Fair? Well, you've lost another life, one left.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54A cat's sense of taste has an odd limitation.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57If you pick the right one, you get a standing ovation.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Is it A, everything tastes like fish?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03B, mice taste like chocolate?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Or C, they cannot taste sweet things?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08C, they can't taste sweet things.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, lucky guess.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- You win.- Yes!
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Does that mean, then, that I get to be in the top musical Cats?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Well, what I actually said was you get to be musical with some cats.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- No...- Sing to the cats, Ben.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Sing to the cats.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42And then the brave warrior got ready to fight the very scary monster.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Hey, Ed.- Aah!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Oh, Johny, you frightened me.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Sorry, mate, are you all right?
0:20:48 > 0:20:49No, it's my own fault
0:20:49 > 0:20:51for reading this book of Japanese legends before bed.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Do you want me to leave the night-light on?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Oh, that would be great, thanks.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56No problem, Ed. Sleep tight.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Sleep tight.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Night, Johny.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03HE SIGHS CONTENTEDLY
0:21:03 > 0:21:05JARRING DISCORD
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Aaah!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Don't be scared, Ed.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12That's just a Nebuta -
0:21:12 > 0:21:15a big light-up float showing amazing scenes
0:21:15 > 0:21:18from Japanese myths, legends or history.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20For a few nights at the start of every August,
0:21:20 > 0:21:24these floating works of art get carried around Aomori
0:21:24 > 0:21:27with thousands of people joining the celebrations.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29If you miss the parade,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33you can always see some Nebuta all year round at this museum.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35The floats are made from wooden frames and wire
0:21:35 > 0:21:39covered with paper and painted, and then lit up from the inside -
0:21:39 > 0:21:40and I can promise you, boys,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44this is like no event you've ever tried before.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's starting to really hurt now.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I tell you what, Ed, these floats are incredible,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49but the problem is, we still don't know
0:21:49 > 0:21:51what we're doing for tonight's festival.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Yeah, we should probably find out.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Rassera, Rassera!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- ALL:- Rassera, Rassera, Rassera!
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Rassera, Rassera!
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Rassera, Rassera, Rassera!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Rassera...- Well, if we want to know about the festival,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- seems like these are the guys to ask.- You'd hope so.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08How long's this been going on?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- TRANSLATION:- 'Well, it's been going on for about 400 years,
0:22:11 > 0:22:12'it's a long time.'
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Wow, no wonder these guys are so good at building floats.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15I know, they're awesome -
0:22:15 > 0:22:18but what have we got to do, then, in the festival tonight?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21'Well, anyone who can hop can join in.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22- 'I'll show you.' - Watch this.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27'Ribba-dibba-doo! Ribba-dibba-doo! Hih-di-di-di, di-di-doo-doo!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28'Samba! Rumba!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30'Dibba-doo, dibba-doo...'
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh, is that it?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- This is the kind of dance I can do. - It reminds me of dancehall.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- I can't wait to get my dancing shoes on.- Yeah!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40You're going to need more than shoes to pull that dancing off, Ed -
0:22:40 > 0:22:43how about a whole costume?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46The Nebuta floats are followed around Aomori
0:22:46 > 0:22:48by dancers called Haneto,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and there are going to be two extra Haneto this year.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Off to the changing room with you!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I can't wait to see how this turns out.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Look at this.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57So, you've got a pink skirt and a dressing gown on,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59that's a good look for you, Johny.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00I think you might have to lose the hat.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04No, I think I'm going for a contemporary Aomori look.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Get off!
0:23:05 > 0:23:07OK, here we go, come on, then.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Can I put this, maybe, on top?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13No? That doesn't work...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Oh, it's definitely your style, Johny.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Yeah, I'm rocking this totally, yeah, definitely.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Now your turn.- Oh...
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Here we go.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24My turn for the pink skirt.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It's like Santa's parked his reindeer round the corner.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Even just breathing makes everything rattle.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33I do feel a bit like a living, breathing Christmas tree.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Look at his little face, his little proud face -
0:23:35 > 0:23:37it does, I'm telling you, it changes you,
0:23:37 > 0:23:38when you're getting dressed.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39You sort of feel regal.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Excuse me, can we get his hat on, please, now?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43It's not strictly necessary.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Yeah, no, it really is. - I'm quite happy to go without one.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46- Oh...- Oh, yes!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48JOHNY LAUGHS
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Ed and Johny, you're going to be Haneto dancers tonight,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and the winner will be the one of you who does the most dancing.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Just so it's all fair, we're going to give you this.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03It's a pedometer and it counts every step you take.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07You'll both be wearing one for tonight's parade,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and the winner will be the one who takes the most steps dancing
0:24:10 > 0:24:11while following the floats.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Save your energy - this sounds easy,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17but it's definitely an endurance race.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19The parade is two hours long!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Best of luck!
0:24:23 > 0:24:26The parade route is a three-kilometre circuit
0:24:26 > 0:24:28around Aomori city centre,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31so there's plenty of opportunity to show off your fancy footwork.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Pedometers on!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Lights on!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Drums on!
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Dancing shoes on!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- How do we do the dance again?- OK...
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Right, enough mucking about, it's time to get this event started.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50If only we had some kind of loud bang or something
0:24:50 > 0:24:51to get it all kicked off.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53FIREWORKS EXPLODE
0:24:53 > 0:24:54There we go!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Fireworks.- What a big bang.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- We've started. - It's fireworks and a big bang.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Yes.- OK, so, what do we do now, then?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Er...- We dance?- Start walking.
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Oh, no, dancing.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08And chanting, boys.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- ALL:- Rassera, Rassera! Rassera, Rassera, Rassera!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Don't forget the chanting.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Rasser-ro-ro!- What are we chanting?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I've got no idea.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19What they're chanting is "Rassera, Rassera!"
0:25:19 > 0:25:21and it actually doesn't mean anything.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Sera, sera, sera, sera.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Yeah, that's it.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28And that gets shouted the whole parade long
0:25:28 > 0:25:30like a very long football chant -
0:25:30 > 0:25:34but remember, this event is judged on how many steps you've done.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36So, how's that going?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Right, 20 minutes in, time for a quick pedometer check.
0:25:38 > 0:25:411,489 steps.
0:25:41 > 0:25:431,074.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I'll get a few more. Look what he's doing!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Did you see that?!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Oh, my word!
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Every step counts, Ed -
0:25:50 > 0:25:52but maybe you should save your energy, Johny.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54There's a long way to go yet.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It's the mayor, we're dancing with the mayor!
0:26:01 > 0:26:02About halfway through,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Ed and Johny have certainly mastered the chanting and dancing -
0:26:05 > 0:26:08but how is the step count shaping up?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I've got 3,762.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- What? I've got 1,737.- Ha, ha!
0:26:15 > 0:26:16That's not...
0:26:16 > 0:26:17There's no way you've done
0:26:17 > 0:26:19twice as many steps as I have.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Maybe, maybe I have.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21You've fixed this,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I swear that's a fix.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24I've not fixed this.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26That's it, Johny,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28you've got a lot of catching up to do.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Meanwhile, Ed is taking it easy.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Oh, I recognise this crossroads.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41You know what this means?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Go on. Last 200 metres.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- Rassera, Rassera!- Sera, sera! Sera!
0:26:48 > 0:26:49FIREWORKS CRACKLE
0:26:49 > 0:26:51The fireworks signal the end of the parade.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55How have All Over The Place's two Haneto dancers performed?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59OK, hand over your pedometer
0:26:59 > 0:27:00to the independent adjudicator.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02No way, I just want to let it be known,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I accidentally set the reset button off.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I dropped my pedometer.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08So, that...
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Oh, Johny.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12He was putting so much into his dancing
0:27:12 > 0:27:15that he dropped his pedometer and it reset.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18So who knows how many steps he's managed to fit in?
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Dancers should be graceful,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23and Johny's clumsiness has probably cost him the competition.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Despite Johny's complaints, there was a clear winner.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- TRANSLATION: - 'And the winner is, Team Ed!'
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yay!
0:27:32 > 0:27:33'Well done, fellas.'
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Thank you. - 'Clap, clap, clap, clap.'
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- La-loser, la-loser. - It wasn't a real victory.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40- La-loser, la-loser. - Rassera, Rassera!
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I'd say that I want to do it all again and get my revenge...
0:27:43 > 0:27:45but I really don't.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48You've been watching All Over The Place Asia!
