# And it turns up...

# All over the place!

# Come with us on... #

Over here we can see the world's tallest building.

It's actually one potato, two potato, three potato...

It's four potatoes high.

I know! The old world's tallest building was only one potato,

two potato and an oven chip.

I think you'll agree that's quite a lot of potatoes.

That's fascinating. It really is.

How many stairs has it got?

Oh, it's got...

one, two...

buckle my shoe...

ten to a row.

I'll take the lift.

Not sure Iain's Knolgible Tours

are going to be in business too much longer.

This is one of Dubai's most famous buildings, the Burj Khalifa.

It's been the tallest building in the world

since it opened in 2010, and stands at 828 metres tall.

That's metres, not potatoes.

The Burj Khalifa is over 2.5 times taller

than the UK's tallest building, the Shard.

ECHOING VOICE: Ed and Iain, you have 50 seconds

to find out as much as you can about the Burj Khalifa.

Iain, you have Bashar, who knows everything about the building.

Ed, you have local tour guide Ahmed,

who knows all about the people who use the building.

Wait a minute. Where is he?

Oh, never mind.

Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner.

Thalaatha,

Ithnaan,

waaHid -

yalla!

-Hello. How are you?

-I'm fine.

-What's your name?

-Bashar.

-And what's the name of this place here?

-The Burj Khalifa.

Ahmed?

How many people visit the Burj each year?

Oh, I can answer that.

The Burj Khalifa gets nearly 2 million visitors each year.

-What's it made of?

-Steel and, of course, concrete.

Where is he?

Can people get to the very top?

There are 160 levels and visitors can get up to the 148th level.

-How many elevators are there?

-57.

-How many steps are there?

-More than 3,000.

Ahmed?

How long does it take to get to the highest viewing platform?

The elevators do it in less than 90 seconds.

How many people work in the Burj Khalifa?

We have more than 1,000.

Ahmed!

HOOTER SOUNDS

Thank you very much.

And the winner is...

-Iain!

-Ya dancer!

Of course he is, my guy didn't turn up.

Iain, your prize awaits you at the top of the tower.

Ed, you get to experience the stairs.

This is so unfair!

Only joking, Ed.

You can both zip up in the building's lifts.

Ooh, I love lifts.

How is this a prize? I'm scared of heights.

Did you know they've got 57 lifts in this building

and one of them goes up half a kilometre?

That's like 289 Tinie Tempahs standing on top of each other.

Let's hope they take things nice and slow.

And they've got the third-equal fastest lifts in the world.

Oh, Ed, have you got a sick bag on you?

I bet the view from the lifts is going to be spectacular.

Oh, lifts!

Oh.

There's no windows.

-Oh!

-MIDDLE EASTERN ELEVATOR MUSIC PLAYS

You'd never know you were going so fast, would you?

Ed, for me a lift's not about how fast you go,

it's about how many floors you stop off at.

Well, this is not the lift for you, Iain,

because this goes nonstop 124 floors.

It's the express lift.

But what if you want to get off at the 22nd floor?

-You can't.

-What about the 50th floor?

It's an express lift, so you can't do that.

But I've got a room on the 69th floor.

-Iain, do you understand the concept?

-101st floor?

-Iain, you can't.

-112th floor, though, what about the 112th floor?

Look, it's the express lift!

It's a fast lift. Very, very fast all the way to the top.

You understand? It doesn't stop at those floors.

These express elevators might be dark

but they're also lightning fast, unlike our Iain.

They travel at ten metres per second,

that's the same speed that Usain Bolt sprints at.

I bet you he takes the stairs though.

Ooh!

-Ooh, here we go.

-Oh, my days.

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!

Look at that! Look at the scene. Look at the tiny little cars.

Oh, my word.

I've never been this high up in a building before. It's amazing!

You all right?

Up and down, mate.

Oh, certificates.

World's tallest man-made structure.

Hello!

World's tallest building. We're in it right now.

IAIN RETCHES

Sounds like Iain's about to do the world's tallest vom.

I'm glad you didn't do the world's tallest vom.

-Thanks, mate.

-You feeling better?

-Aw, brilliant. Feel brand-new.

I suppose anything you do up here's the world's tallest?

I could tell the world's tallest joke.

No-one wants to see the world's highest tumbleweed, Ed.

I could do the world's tallest burp.

THEY BELCH

Equalled your record.

Equalled, but you'll never beat me,

cos we're the same height, aren't we?

What's that bag over there?

It's your prize.

A pair of super-high platform shoes,

making you the world's highest All Over The Place presenter.

Now what were you saying about not beating my record?

Are these the heights you're going to to beat me?

Oh, do hurry up, Iain!

I think I've got the world's biggest blisters.

I'm about to meet famous Scottish physicist Sir David Brewster

and behind me is a museum dedicated

to something he invented 200 years ago.

-TERRIBLE SCOTS ACCENT:

-Excuse me, laddie.

I'm supposed to be visiting this museum dedicated to

something I invented 200 years ago, but it cannae be this place,

-looks like a school!

-No, you are correct.

It did use to be a school, but now, like you said,

it's a museum dedicated to one of your most famous inventions.

Erm...

The lenticular stereoscope?

I knew that would make me a hoose-hold name.

No, not that.

The binocular camera?

No.

The polyzonal lens?

No!

The kaleidoscope!

What, that?

Who would collect those things?

You might already know this,

but a kaleidoscope is a fun kind of telescopey thing which uses mirrors

and coloured stuff to make pretty patterns like this.

Ikuya loved kaleidoscopes so much,

he bought this old school to display his collection

and anyone can come and try them out.

That's a very cool school.

-TRANSLATION:

-This is the oldest kaleidoscope in the collection.

It's the bush style.

It was made in the 1870s in the United States of America.

Let's look.

Oh, wow.

-How does it look, Ed?

-There's beautiful patterns.

It's really strange to think that people have been

looking through this for nearly 150 years.

Which is the smallest one then?

This.

-BOTH:

-No way!

Does it actually work?

I'll tell you now...

Oh, my!

Yeah.

-No, you can't see through that...

-That's incredible. You can, mate.

Oh, wow.

It's as good as some of the others.

Hello and welcome to...

The kaleidoscope was regarded by one scholar

as among the most happy inventions that science ever presented

to the lovers of rational enjoyment.

But why didn't Sir David Brewster make any money from his invention?

A, he gave them away for free,

or B, people stole his invention before the patent was granted?

I'm going to go with A, he gave it away for free.

No. It's B.

SNIGGERS

Hundreds of thousands of knock-off kaleidoscopes were sold before

Sir David got his patent in to protect his invention.

Which is why you should always hand your work in early, children.

In Victorian times,

some people were so distracted by their kaleidoscopes they did what?

A, walk into things?

Or B, forget to go to the toilet?

I'm leaning towards go to the toilet.

I'm going to go with walk into things.

-That's correct.

-Yes!

Some Victorian people were so distracted

using their kaleidoscopes, they would walk into walls and suchlike.

Silly them.

-CRASH!

-Ow!

The word kaleidoscope comes from three ancient Greek words.

Look at them there.

What does kalos mean?

Is it A, beautiful or B, colourful spinning thing with mirrors in it?

Colourful thingy with the mirrors in it.

-No, that was obviously the wrong answer.

-Oh!

Which means you've failed.

-You've failed your exams and you're in detention.

-Aw!

And in today's detention, you're going to be making a kaleidoscope.

Making a kaleidoscope? That's absolutely awesome!

I mean, ugh, detention?

Gutted. I don't want my mum and dad to find out.

See you next time.

# Come on, come on, put the kettle on

# It's time for a cuppa, I'm gasping for one

# Got to see how tea's cultivated first

# Then after that we can quench a thirst

# Here we are in Hubei province

# A vast tea plantation

# Where they grow

# The tea that's so

# Important to both our nations

# Oh, China is the birthplace of your cup of tea

# Our cup of tea!

# Been growing leaves since 2,700 BC

# Our cup of tea!

# Started as a medicine

# Then became a daily drink

# Then began cultivation

# Not as easy as you think

# Picked and dried till it's just right.

# Two types of tea come from this

# Green and oolong, black and white

# Come on, come on, put the kettle on

# It's time for a cuppa, I'm gasping for one

# Got to get the milk and the sugar too

# Hang on, Ed - that's not what the Chinese do

# Here we are in a nice tea room

# Is it ready yet?

# Hold your horses, you need a course in...

Chinese tea etiquette.

# Oh, China is the birthplace of your cup of tea

# Our cup of tea!

# They pride themselves on making a brew perfectly

# Our cup of tea!

# First you have to rinse the bowl

# Then add the leaves with a bamboo scoop

# Then add water, nice and hot

# Then leave for a minute to stew

# Pour into a narrow cup

# Ask your guests to have a whiff

# Then finally to a drinking mug

-# After taking one final sniff

-SNIFFS

Ah, time for a tea break.

SLURPING

Ah!

# Oh, China is the birthplace of your cup of tea

# Our cup of tea!

# Was brought to Britain in the 17th century

# Our cup of tea!

# The first teabags were made of silk

# Weren't supposed to go in the pot too

# And we Brits also added milk

# And sugar, one lump or two?

# 62 billion cups a year

# That's just the UK, you know.

# Quite popular, that's pretty clear.

# Though I prefer cappuccino. #

-What?!

-Nothing.

Ugh!

You know they have the same rules in parks

and public places in Sri Lanka.

You simply must clean up after your animals.

Yes, it's very good to see, Michelle.

Now, where did you say Jumbo did his doo-doo?

Oh, just over here. His little poop bag.

Thank you very much.

Jumbo's a bit of weird name for a dog.

Oh, no, no - Jumbo isn't a dog, Ed.

Jumbo's an elephant.

Oh.

We're going to need a bigger bag.

Pooey!

That is jumbo!

Sri Lanka has around 6,000 wild elephants

and they make a lot of poo.

Round about one million kilograms of the stuff every day.

That's like 18,182 Justin Biebers' worth of poo.

But all that poo doesn't go to waste.

There's definitely a buck in elephant muck.

Wubata here will fill you in.

Time to get shovelling.

So why are we shovelling elephant poo?

-That's amazing.

-What sort of paper products do you make?

Toilet paper?

There would be some symmetry there, wouldn't there?

Why is elephant poo so good for making paper?

You can really see the fibre in the poo.

It's like big balls of hay, isn't it?

And the fibre from plants is great for making paper.

You know what? I reckon this factory could be our big break

into the world of competitive reality-based baking programmes.

You know what, Ed? I was thinking exactly the same thing.

I think we are about to find out how to transform elephant dung...

..into something a bit more fun.

It's...

Bakers, you have three days to make your papery creations

using only elephant poo.

It's our stinkiest showstopper yet.

Three.

Number two.

I mean...two.

One...

-BOTH:

-Bake!

Go on, then.

First, soak that poo.

Ah, lovely. So this is where you boil the mixture for two hours

to create that consistency of pulp to make the paper.

It smells delicious, absolutely delicious.

It's boiling poo, Ed.

Yes. Yes, of course.

Next, add some of your boiled poo to some pulpy paper goo.

But remember the clock is ticking, sort of.

Next, the bakers are taking cups of this mixture,

adding it to the screen there to create the thickness for the paper

and then they'll leave it to dry in the sun.

Where it will rise and prove like a good Victoria sponge.

Yummy.

No, it's generally just to make nice paper.

It's now time to press out all that excess liquid.

I don't know about you, Michelle,

but I'm im-PRESSED with this part of the process.

GENTLE GIGGLING

Once dry, the paper is cut, shaped and decorated

to create showstopping papery delights.

Oh, what magnificent creations!

Such beautiful colours.

Yes, they really are lovely.

Oh, they're made of poo, aren't they?

That's it, everyone - your time is up!

Yes, bakers, POO-T down your poo paper creations.

Guys?

-Guys?

-Yeah, I think they're working.

These cards are amazing, aren't they? I can't actually believe

they're made from the poo we were shovelling earlier.

The question is, do they smell?

No, they don't.

I'm going to send this one to Hacker and Dodge.

-I kind of miss those two when we're away.

-I don't.

I certainly don't miss cleaning up after them.

You always have to bring poo bags when you're with those two.

Woof-woof-woof! Grr, it's the mailman.

More like fail man.

Dodge, stop your lav-lav, the post's here.

Calm down, otherwise I won't be giving you this card

all the way from Sri Lanka.

Poo! It stinks. Is that you, Dodger?

That's not me, no.

I thought you were just watering the flowers, not...other things.

That card honks more than my poo bag.

I can't smell anything.

Listen up, cocker - us dogs have super sniff-ication.

I know.

You're not the only animals on my round that communicate with smell.

Moths use smells for love.

-Oh!

-Bees stink up their hive when they're under attack

and wolves use wee-wee to mark their territory.

Anyway, it's been lovely to talk.

Hold on! Hey, hey! Oi, oi!

Where you going with all my fan mail?

Oh, no, this little lot's for the animals down the zoo.

Them animals are a funny lot, ain't they?

They never talk to us, no.

Well, they don't need to talk.

BRIDS CHIRPING

Birds sing to warn of nearby threats.

Oh, yeah? Well, they're definitely not talking about you, are they?

Ha!

GROUND SHAKES

Not to mention seismic communication,

like elephants using vibrations to send signals.

Have you anything quieter?

Eels use low-voltage electricity to communicate with each other.

-ZAP!

-Aaaaargh!

That must have been the high-voltage electricity

they use to stun their prey.

Well, give those eels that poo card from us. They like a shock.

Yeah, and here's some more messy messages for 'em.

Ha-ha-ha! There you go.

Now go away. Go on, return to sender! Woof-woof-woof!

-Go on, push your trolley.

-Go on!

All right, Vic, what you doing with that instrument?

I'm just practising for the audition.

-Audition?

-For the Event!

We're not doing an audition for the Event.

I think you'll find we are.

It's kara, OK!

Which, literally translated, means empty orchestra.

So I'm auditioning for the band.

Right, repeat after me.

-Carry.

-Carry.

-Oaky.

-OK!

Try again.

-Kara.

-Kara.

-Oaky.

-Oaky!

-Faster.

-Kara OK.

Karaoke!

Karaoke?!

We're doing a karaoke competition?

-Ugh, finally.

-But...

But Ed, I've been practising all night on me banjo!

Oh, poor Vic.

Karaoke was invented in Japan

and basically is singing to a backing track

with the help of on-screen lyrics.

There are over 10,000 karaoke places in Japan.

The longest individual karaoke session on record

lasted over 100 hours.

That's more than four days singing!

Luckily, we don't have to

listen to Ed and Vic sing for that long.

Time for some top tips to make sure they're pitch perfect.

Eiji Nishiyama is going to warm up your vocal cords.

Lip roll.

Ed and Vic start off looking really attractive by loosening their lips.

And then they move on to scales.

# Ho, ha, ho, ha, hooo!

THE KEY CHANGES

# Ho, ha, ho, ha, hooo!

# Ahhh...... #

Next up, Muranaka Takayoshi wants to check out

your singing and stage presence.

# Whoo!

# Nobody knows it...

OK, tomete.

Wait, I think he's had enough.

I know I have.

# ..was down

# I was your clown

# Ooh

-MUSIC STOPS

-# Nobody knows... #

-TRANSLATION:

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Is that good?

Your movements are stiff. You need to feel the rhythm.

Don't be so wooden. Loosen up.

Do it now. Loosen.

Shoogle, loosen. Shoogle and listen.

I WOOD-n't have thought you'd be so bad, Ed.

But can Vic do any better?

# Right from the start

# I gave you my heart

# Whoa-oh

# Gave you my heart. #

Victoria, perfect.

I like this guy.

Ed, you're going down!

Vic, I'm impressed.

Maybe you could win this whole competition after all.

However, unlike the other contestants,

you two don't know what you're going to be singing.

Well, maybe your outfits will give you a clue.

I was born to wear it.

-Still not quite sure why I'm dressed as a farmer on a night out.

-No.

But I think I might know who I am.

I think you're the Queen.

And you're going to sing the national anthem.

-OLD LADY VOICE:

-# Oh-oh-oh! #

The stage is set, the judges are seated

and the first competitor steps up to the mic.

APPLAUSE

Things are hotting up.

Ugh.

MUSIC: Sweet Child Of Mine by Guns N' Roses

# She's got a smile that it seems to me... #

Wow, your fellow competitors aren't going to make this easy for you.

# Money on my mind

# I do it for, I do it for the love... #

How you feeling about this, Vic?

I'll be honest, I feel a little bit intimidated.

The quality is high.

-How are you feeling?

-I'm kind of resigned to the fact

that I'm going to be completely humiliated.

I heard we've got some very stiff competition

in that little lady over there.

MUSIC: It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones

# It's not unusual to be loved by anyone

# It's not unusual to have fun with anyone... #

It's clear to see Ed and Vic are rattled by this singer so far.

This competition's definitely heating up.

Who's going to be able to top that act?

It's time for the...

Can Ed win round the judges?

Will Vic get stage fright?

It's time to find out.

First up, Ed. But what song will he be singing?

Here we go. Let's see what you've got for me.

Olly Murs?!

CHEERING

Relaxed and smooth, Ed, relaxed and smooth.

# Baby, when I look in your eyes...

Judge.

# There's no way that I can disguise

# All those crazy thoughts in my mind now

# You've got the lock

# I got the key

# You know the rest

# You're just where I want to be

# Don't ever stop

# Controlling me

# I kind of like it when you bring me to my knees

# You got me wrapped up

# Around your fingers

# I'd do anything for your love now

# And when you touch it

# The feeling lingers

# Take me up so high I can't come down... #

Bravo, Ed. You've given it your all.

Now let's see if Vic can top Ed's performance

and be crowned karaoke queen.

Queen! I didn't get that.

# I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva

# I going to go, go, go

# There's no stopping me

# I'm burning through the sky, yeah

# 200 degrees

# That's why they call me Mr Fahrenheit

# I'm travelling at the speed of light

# I want to make a supersonic man out of you

# Don't stop me now

# I'm having such a good time

# I'm having a ball

# Don't stop me now

# If you want to have a good time...

I can't breath.

# Give me a call

# Don't stop me, cos I'm having a good time...

Someone stop her. Someone stop her.

# ..I'm having a good time

# I don't want to stop at all. #

Fine performances by Ed and Vic

but has either of them done enough to win?

HOST ROLLS HIS LIPS

Drumroll.

Pum!

-Tanate san desu! Hakushu!

No, they haven't. Never mind.

Time to get personal - who hit the right note

and earned the title of AOTP karaoke champion?
