0:00:51 > 0:00:53# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Off the scales.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I mean, how could she leave me?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Something smells fishy.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Maybe next time, you should use one of those giant Chinese fishing nets
0:01:32 > 0:01:35that they've been using here since the 14th century.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38They catch dozens of fish at a time.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Oh, thanks, Ed. The one that got away, eh?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Plenty more fish in the sea.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Fancy a fishy friend?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Well, you're in the right place.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50These magnificent fishing nets
0:01:50 > 0:01:53have been dipping in and out of the sea, here at Fort Kochi,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56for hundreds of years.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59They work by lowering a giant net into the sea,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01leaving it there for a few minutes,
0:02:01 > 0:02:02before hauling it back up
0:02:02 > 0:02:04using counterweighted boulders.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06And at over ten metres,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09they are as tall as seven Ariana Grandes
0:02:09 > 0:02:11stood on top of one another.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Ed and Inel, you have 39 seconds
0:02:15 > 0:02:16to find out as much as you can
0:02:16 > 0:02:19about the Chinese fishing nets.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Ed, you have James,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23who knows all about working the nets.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Inel, you have Anthony,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27who knows all about their history.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30The one who finds out the most facts is the winner.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Munnu, rant, onnu -
0:02:33 > 0:02:35go!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Anthony, how old are the nets?
0:02:37 > 0:02:38The nets are...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43How many people work on them, pulling the ropes?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47What other parts of the world might you find these nets?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, Asian countries.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58What sort of fish do you catch?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Silverfish, tiger fish and catfish.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07OK, what's your favourite fish to eat?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Can't beat a bit of red snapper.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12KLAXON BLARES
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Oh, there goes the klaxon.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16But I think we did pretty well, don't you think, Anthony?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Spud me, bruv.- Yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Cool.- And the winner is...
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- ..Ed!- Yes!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- It's rigged.- What? The fishing nets?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Yes, yes, they are.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29'The challenge is on, boys.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32'Can you catch your lunch?'
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Have we ever turned down a challenge from you, voice-over man?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38'Well, not when it involves free food.'
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Harder? Sorry!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Pull, man.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44The boys are pulling up their first catch.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I'm getting blisters on my hand already, Ed.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47THEY REPEAT LOCAL PHRASE
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Ed, have you got any gloves?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50This is apparently what you say.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53THEY REPEAT LOCAL PHRASE
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Got a bit heavy towards the end, there.- It did.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58HE REPEATS LOCAL PHRASE
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Will there be any fish?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Look at that!- Oh, the first catch of the day.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Yay!
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Eh?
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Not bad.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Now all they have to do is drop the net back in and wait a few minutes.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Yeah, start? OK, good.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Let's go.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18THEY REPEAT LOCAL PHRASE
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Will it be a bigger catch second time round?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Oh, would you look at that?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26A big catch today.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Looky here, James. What's that? What's that? What's that?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- What have we got?- Some catfish and anchovy, and this one.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33- Anchovies!- OK, wow.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35And this is a sea frog.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- See frog?- Might give the sea frog a miss.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Yeah, leave it.- Can we have the rest of this for our lunch?- Yes.- Lovely.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41- You like it?- Thanks, James.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Love it.- Nice one, James.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Here, Ed, I'll carry that if you want.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46No, I'm fine.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48You don't have to carry it too far.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Local stalls in Fort Kochi
0:04:50 > 0:04:52will fry up your fresh fish
0:04:52 > 0:04:54in front of your very eyes.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Oh! Ooooh!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I've got smelly fish all over me now!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Where am I going to get this cleaned up?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Er, why don't you try that traditional Keralan wash house?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- They seem to know what they're doing.- That's handy, isn't it?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Oh!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Hi, I'm Bill Beefy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Does your washing powder leave behind milky brew stains?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Oh.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Does your machine remove bin juice from your favourite clothes?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Uh-uh.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Do you know what you need?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36To stop drinking bin juice and milky brews?
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Who is this guy?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Shush! We're in an advert.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41What you need
0:05:41 > 0:05:43is a traditional Keralan wash house.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46A traditional Caroline what house?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48A traditional Keralan wash house,

0:06:08 > 0:06:10- of your washing machine.- Oh, great!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And say hello to even more hours
0:06:13 > 0:06:15of tedious washing by hand.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16You what?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Shush, he's paying us to be in this ad in dog biccies.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Oh-oh-oh!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26At a traditional Keralan wash house,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28there are no washing machines.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31But what they lack in modern household convenience,
0:06:31 > 0:06:32they sure make up for
0:06:32 > 0:06:34in concrete booths
0:06:34 > 0:06:36filled with soapy water.
0:06:36 > 0:06:3842 of them.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Perfect for cleaning all your dhotis.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Excuse me, my dhotis are perfectly clean, thank you!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48No, they're traditional Indian clothes, cocker, look behind you.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Hey, you're pretty windy, Dodge, you could help there.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59And finally, neatly pressed
0:06:59 > 0:07:01using 100% safe
0:07:01 > 0:07:03giant electric irons.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05That sounds like a lot of work to me.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08If all that sounds like a lot of work to you...
0:07:08 > 0:07:09No, no, it doesn't.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Then do not fear,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13because a traditional Keralan wash house
0:07:13 > 0:07:17comes with an army of traditional Keralans called dhobis.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20They will wash, dry and iron your clothes for you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22All right, he sold it to me.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Only one problem.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24- What's that?- We're dogs.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26We don't wear clothes.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28BOTH: Oh!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Bye, I'm Bill Beefy.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You're fired.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38BELL RINGS
0:07:45 > 0:07:46CATS MEOW
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Look at this!
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Wow.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Or should that be...
0:07:52 > 0:07:53meow?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55This is Temari no Ouchi,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57one of 40 cat cafes in Tokyo.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00The city has a population of 13 million,
0:08:00 > 0:08:01which means most apartments
0:08:01 > 0:08:03are small and don't allow pets,
0:08:03 > 0:08:04so these special cafes
0:08:04 > 0:08:06let people spend time with animals
0:08:06 > 0:08:08whilst having a lovely cuppa.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10And it's themed like a fairy tale palace,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12or should that be a furry-tail palace?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Wow! This place is like a magical forest!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19What a great cat-mosphere.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20'Here we go again.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22'Look at these two.'
0:08:22 > 0:08:25'I haven't seen them at the cafe before.'
0:08:25 > 0:08:29'Oh, purr-fect, more tourists, no doubt hoping to get a cat selfie.'
0:08:30 > 0:08:32'They're not just any tourists.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34'OMG, it's only Ed Petrie and Vic Cook off the telly!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36'I think I'm hyperventilating!'
0:08:36 > 0:08:37CAT HYPERVENTILATES
0:08:37 > 0:08:39'There she goes again.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41'Too much catnip. Anyway, I don't care who they are.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43'They still have to follow our rules.'
0:08:43 > 0:08:45'Stop touching me. I don't like my head getting stroked.'
0:08:45 > 0:08:47That's right. Rules are rules.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Rules?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Rule number one, no hugging the cats.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56You can stroke them but don't pick them up.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Rule number two,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59no feeding them human food
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and if they have a ribbon around their neck,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03it means they're on a diet.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06And finally, rule number three,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08no flash photography.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Some of the cats don't like the bright lights.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13Is there a menu round here?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Hey, we could have a cat tea party.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Urgh, this menu's different to any I've ever seen before.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It's full of pictures of cats instead of food.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Well, I'm looking for a cup of tea
0:09:24 > 0:09:26with a cat biscuit on the side,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28and a Temari, whatever that is.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, this isn't a menu!
0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's a book about all the cats that live here.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36That is Temari, the first-ever cat.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38She's also the leader of the group.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41This cafe was also named after her.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You can learn the name and breed of all the cats here,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46using that handy book.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48'Let's play Copycats!'
0:09:50 > 0:09:53BOTH: Hello! And welcome to...
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Copy...
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Cats!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59We've got to paw-sitively identify cats from this book.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02But once we've found them,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04we will copy that cat.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07'First up is an exotic short hair.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08'He may look grumpy
0:10:08 > 0:10:11'but that's just his face.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13'It's Matthew!
0:10:13 > 0:10:14'Copy that cat.'
0:10:22 > 0:10:24'Purr-fect!
0:10:24 > 0:10:25'Watami is next.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28'He's white and playful.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31'Found him? Now, copy that cat!'
0:10:43 > 0:10:46'Miaow-vellous.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50'Finally, can you find the Norwegian cat Figaro?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51'There he is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55'Copy that cat!'
0:11:02 > 0:11:05'Cat's all, till next time.'
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I'm enjoying my cat-uccino.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15What a purr-fect way to spend the day!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17It's so relaxing in here.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19That's a nice cat, isn't it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Oh!
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Hello.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Ed!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Give us that back.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Don't you remember rule number two?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29You're wearing your ribbon. I thought you were on a diet.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Please, Ed. I've not had my elevenses.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You're wearing a ribbon!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Security! Security!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38BICKERING CONTINUES
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Pfft! Humans, eh?- I know.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Shall we go in there and sort it out?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Na, they're probably fighting over food or something.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46They're simple creatures.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Yeah, must be an easy life, being human.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49I wouldn't say no.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Seriously? You'd rather be a human than a cat?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yeah, I reckon it'd be great.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Not starting a fight with my own reflection
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and reading a newspaper rather than weeing on it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03What about all the cool cat stuff you'd miss out on?
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Like what?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Erm, lives, for starters.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Humans have only got one life.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Us cats have got nine.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13No, I think that's a myth.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Is it?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I should be more careful crossing roads.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19What about speed and agility?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21A domestic cat can run at 30mph.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Humans can't.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24But they don't have to.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Humans have cars, haven't they? And money.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Some cats have money.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I knew this cat in Italy that was left 13 million

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Wow, how did he cope with that?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I don't know. He's got new friends now.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08What do you think about dogs?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Can't stand them. - Oh, couldn't agree more!

0:16:39 > 0:16:41you've picked up a bit of the old Delhi belly.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46I really need a toilet now.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Maybe they've got one.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09One second. Did you...
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- steal that?- No, Chris.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I always come prepared when travelling.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Oh, Ed, you can take being prepared too far, you know.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Do be prepared, though,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21for this bonkers collection
0:17:21 > 0:17:22of toilets through the ages.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26They come in unbelievable shapes and sizes and, for some reason,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30quite a lot of them seem to be disguised as something else.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33What's this table doing here?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35This table is a table toilet.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Whoa!
0:17:37 > 0:17:38It is a toilet.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41And it is such a beautiful piece
0:17:41 > 0:17:42that one can sit on it,
0:17:42 > 0:17:43one can eat on it,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45and of course, one can poo in it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47The whole lot! This is the greatest...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- All three in one.- This is the greatest invention I've ever seen.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Not to be pooh-poohed. - I'm going to have...
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm going to get five of these for my house.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01TOILET FLUSHES
0:18:01 > 0:18:02It's a poo-poo piggy bank.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Did you do that?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I don't think I want to handle any money from that piggy bank,
0:18:11 > 0:18:12thank you very much!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15And anyway, nearly three and a half billion people around the world
0:18:15 > 0:18:18don't have access to real toilets at all,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20never mind piggy bank bogs.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And talking of annoying things that won't flush away...
0:18:23 > 0:18:26'Welcome to The Game Of Thrones!'
0:18:26 > 0:18:30While I ask the questions, I want you to clean toilets with this.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32That's my toothbrush!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Where did you get this from? - Your suitcase.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36You should lock your windows.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42This toilet is disguised as a candle.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44But why?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Is it A, a memorial candle,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50to light in honour of your dearly departed poo?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Or is it B, a scented candle
0:18:53 > 0:18:56to cover up the smell of your awful business?
0:18:56 > 0:18:57Is it A?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59PPPFFFRRRT!
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Oh, Chris,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02that noise that I recorded earlier
0:19:02 > 0:19:05means that your answer is a stinker!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It's B, a scented candle.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Ha-ha!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13This mechanical contraption of a toilet
0:19:13 > 0:19:16converts your doo-doo into this.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17But what is it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Is it A, whatever you had for breakfast?
0:19:20 > 0:19:21That's right.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I eat gravel for breakfast.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28Or is it B, it cremates your doo-doo into ash?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'm going to go with A.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31PPPFFFRRRT!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Oh, Chris, no, no!
0:19:33 > 0:19:34It's B!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37You made a right number two of that question!
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Clean it! Yes, I'm cleaning.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Stand on it. Stand on it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Squat.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Next question.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48What is this?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Is it a double pit composting toilet
0:19:51 > 0:19:54for making, well, compost?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Or B, a squatting toilet for gymnasts?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'm going to say A again.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- TOILET FLUSHES - Chris, that's correct!
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Is it?- But you've only got one point.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06No regal crown for you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07Now push off.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I've got some unfinished business to attend to.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Good job I brought my own toilet paper.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41In my busy life as a global fashion icon...
0:20:41 > 0:20:45In my demanding role as an always-active sporting legend...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I find what I need to really keep me on my feet...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And to keep my feet happy are...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53BOTH: Socks and sandals.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57'Oh, I don't know about the socks, you pair of posers,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00'but sandals are all the rage here in Fukushima in August.'
0:21:00 > 0:21:06That's when the Waraji Matsuri, or sandal festival, is in full stride.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's a two-day funfest that kicks off
0:21:08 > 0:21:11with a giant 12-metre straw sandal
0:21:11 > 0:21:12being carried through the city
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and it weighs a whopping two tonnes.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's taken to a local shrine
0:21:17 > 0:21:19where people pray for safe travel
0:21:19 > 0:21:21and strong legs.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Speaking of which, that's what Ed and Johny will need
0:21:23 > 0:21:27when they join teams racing with some slightly more manageable
0:21:27 > 0:21:29giant straw sandals.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Best foot forward, boys!
0:21:31 > 0:21:32I thought my sandal was big.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- That's what I call a sandal. - It's absolutely massive.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I wonder where the other one is?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Excuse me. You don't happen to know where the other sandal is, do you?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- TRANSLATION:- Yes, of course I do.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Yeah.- Oh. That was a coincidence.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Yes, imagine bumping into Mr Hideo Ogawara,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50the director of the sandal festival,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53just when you had some questions needing answers.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It's almost like it was planned...
0:21:55 > 0:21:56What does the event involve?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57What have we got to do?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- TRANSLATION:- Well, you'll be in teams of ten people,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03carrying a five-metre straw sandal, weighing 100kg,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06over 240 metres against the clock.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09It's a difficult process.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I can't think of anything I'd rather do
0:22:11 > 0:22:13on a boiling hot, 40 degree day(!)
0:22:13 > 0:22:16So, so what do we need to do to win, then?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- TRANSLATION:- Well, you'll need strong legs, to work together
0:22:18 > 0:22:20and hope for good luck.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Lots of good luck is essential.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Considering my feet, I'm definitely going to be wishing for luck.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well, as luck would have it,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29there is somewhere nearby
0:22:29 > 0:22:31you can wish for good luck.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32These are tanabata,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and local people write their wishes on them
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and pin them to these bamboo trees to try and make them come true.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44"My wish, to beat Ed Petrie of CBBC fame in the sandal race."
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Ha-ha-ha!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'm wishing for a long, happy and healthy life.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Actually, scrub that. I want to beat Johny!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Ha-ha-ha!
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Oi, what are you doing?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I'm just wishing that we'll be friends forever and ever.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01No, you're not. You're wishing to beat me!
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Well, what are you wishing for?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- To beat you! - Well, you can't do that.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- They'll cancel each other out. - Don't care.- No, no, no.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- I put mine on first. Why should you put yours on?- I had the idea first.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13No, no, you shouldn't be able to do that because I put mine on...
0:23:13 > 0:23:17OK, pack it in, you two, save it for the race.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19You've got to track down your racing sandals.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Shouldn't be too hard.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24They're not exactly small and not exactly light.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25How much do they weigh again?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Erm, 100 kilos.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28What?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30100 kilos?!
0:23:30 > 0:23:34That's about the same weight as a plump baby elephant!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Luckily, there are a group of sort of, ten of us, I think, per team.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39So, I don't know who these guys are.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Are you Team Johny?
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Yes, OK, Team Johny.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Team Ed?- No, Johny!
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Yes! Yes!
0:23:47 > 0:23:48No-one wants to be in my team.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Yeah, you've got to carry yours on your own, Ed.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52What?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54How far have we got to take this thing, then?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Erm, over 200 metres.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Over 200 metres?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01You'll notice that I haven't been specific about the distance.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05How long is it, voice-over man?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It's 240 metres, Ed.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Easy-peasy for your team of ten,
0:24:10 > 0:24:11except for carrying that sandal
0:24:11 > 0:24:13weighing the same as a baby elephant, of course.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Oh, and did I mention getting buckets of water thrown at you?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I didn't? My bad!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Yes, they do that, too, just for fun!
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Ichi, Ni, San!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27How's your team getting on over there, Ed?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- We're ready.- Erm...
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Team Ed?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32LAUGHTER
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Team Edo-san?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36I think the luck is on my side!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Hang on, Johny.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40This is actually a problem.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Ed "no-mates" was meant to have a team
0:24:42 > 0:24:44but there's no sign of them,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46and the race is about to begin.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Just when we thought everything was going to plan!
0:24:49 > 0:24:52So much for Japanese timekeeping and efficiency.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Where are these guys?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I've got an empty sandal, here.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I know, it's almost as if someone else has got all the luck!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Oh, hang on. Are you...? Are you my team?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Team Ed? Edo-san?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09THEY MURMUR AGREEMENT
0:25:09 > 0:25:10- Hurray! - THEY CHEER
0:25:10 > 0:25:13At last.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Yeah, yes, at last.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Now, can we please do this?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38OK, let's get started.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Three, two, one, go!
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Give it some welly, boys!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Or should that be, "Give it sandals, boys"?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Water, anyone? Very refreshing.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I tell you what, Johny's team are off to a flying start but Team Ed...
0:25:55 > 0:25:57What's going on over there? They're lagging well behind.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It looks like our very tall Ed
0:25:59 > 0:26:02is finding it tough to get that sandal on his shoulder.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04That's good news for Team Johny
0:26:04 > 0:26:06but Team Ed will have to pick up the pace,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09and the sandal, to pull this back.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I can't stand up straight!
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Someone's going to have a sore back in the morning.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19And it's starting to look like a...
0:26:19 > 0:26:22"shoe-in" for Team Johny.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24"Shoe-in"? Never mind.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Ed can't quite seem to handle the sandal!
0:26:29 > 0:26:31INDISTINCT
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- No more water!- Yes, more water, Ed.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38We need to make sure you don't dehydrate.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Oh, no luck, Ed,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Johny's team are giving you a shoeing
0:26:42 > 0:26:44and Team Johny are the first
0:26:44 > 0:26:47to get a toe over the line.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54Oh, well, poor Ed's team are left to stumble to the finish.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Like stumbly, finishy-late people.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01And with the race ever, there's nothing left to do
0:27:01 > 0:27:03but congratulations,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and some hugging, I guess, and, oh, a bow.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Maybe a high five? Yeah!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10And maybe... Oh, and throw Johny in the air.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Put him down! We need some post-race excuses.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14That's not fair.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Look how short my team are!
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Well, my team aren't particularly tall, but something tells me we...
