0:01:11 > 0:01:14Japan, Osaka.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20On Osaka's most famous street of food,

0:01:20 > 0:01:22two slightly silly presenters

0:01:22 > 0:01:25are about to eat out.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27My stomach is telling me it's dinnertime.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31You are telling me. I mean, look at all this tasty food.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Oh, no, no, Cel, that's not actually food.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Sorry, Ed, what was that? I was just distracted

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- by this beautiful looking food. - No, no, no. It's not food.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Here in Japan they sometimes display plastic food

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- so you know what you're ordering. - It looks so good!

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Almost good enough to eat!- I know. Good job we didn't.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46THEY LAUGH

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Imagine!- That would have been very silly, wouldn't it?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Won't find us doing something like that.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- THEY LAUGH - Yes, we would.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55But on their dare-date with destiny,

0:01:55 > 0:01:59it turned out there was something else on the menu.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01I think there might be something else on the menu.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Arrgh! Arrgh! Yes, you're right! Run!

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Run from the definitely real giant octopus!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Arrgh!- Arrgh!- Arrgh!

0:02:09 > 0:02:12But there was nowhere to run to in...

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Who's ever heard of a man-eating restaurant sign?

0:02:22 > 0:02:26This district of Osaka is called Dotonbori,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29and it's like a theme park for food.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33A Japanese word used here lots is "kuidaore",

0:02:33 > 0:02:34which roughly translates as...

0:02:37 > 0:02:39But before filling their stomachs,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42our two travellers must fill their minds.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Ed and Cel,

0:02:44 > 0:02:47you have 51 seconds to find out as much as you can

0:02:47 > 0:02:49about Dotonbori!

0:02:49 > 0:02:54Ed, you have Mr Torii, who knows all about the food.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59Cel, you have Mr Imai, who knows all about the restaurants.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Whoever finds out that most facts is the winner.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05San, ni, ichi...

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Go!

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Hello. What is the most popular style street food here in Osaka?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14- TRANSLATION:- That would be takoyaki.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- What is that?- It a type of pancake with octopus inside.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Oh, scrumptious!- Why do people from Osaka love food so much?

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- TRANSLATION:- Because all the good ingredients from all around Japan

0:03:24 > 0:03:26used to come here, you know?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28How many places do you reckon there are to eat here?

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Oh, at least 400.- Four?- 400, aye.- Wow!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Do people really eat till they drop here?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Well, it's just an expression, people don't actually eat

0:03:38 > 0:03:39until they drop!

0:03:39 > 0:03:42So, out of all these places, what is your favourite thing to eat?

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Udon. I love it.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47It's a type of Japanese noodle.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49What's your favourite food?

0:03:49 > 0:03:53I like a savoury pancake called okonomiyaki made with fish stock.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Okonomiyaki?- Okonomiyaki.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Okonomiyaki!- Okonomiyaki!

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well pronounced!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01- KLAXON BLARES - OK... Oh!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Oh!- Yeah.- Took too long saying okonomiyaki!

0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's a great word, though. Okonomiyaki.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Okonomiyaki! - THEY LAUGH

0:04:08 > 0:04:10And the person who found at most facts is...

0:04:11 > 0:04:13..Cel!

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Yes!

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Your prize is a four-course dinner on Dotonbori.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Oooh! Dinner for the winner.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Oh, that's so unfair! I'm really hungry.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Would you like to...- Come for dinner with you?- Yes.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Although, technically, it's not dinnertime.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30You see, Ed. That's where you're wrong,

0:04:30 > 0:04:34because there's a little thing called the magic of television.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35- Boom!- Arrgh!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Ta-da!- You're a wizard!

0:04:38 > 0:04:39It's the All Over The Place four-course

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Osaka street food challenge.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Ed and Cel can try four delicious Japanese foods.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47But will they say yes?

0:04:47 > 0:04:48Or no?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52First course...

0:04:52 > 0:04:54..it's a meat and vegetable dumpling.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Will it be an hai or an iie?

0:04:56 > 0:04:58- Oh, like that! - You might have noticed,

0:04:58 > 0:05:00I've only just mastered the art of using the chopstick.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Is this the first time you've ever used them?- Properly, yep.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Really, er... I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10CEL LAUGHS

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Ten out of ten for the food!

0:05:12 > 0:05:14One out of ten for the chopsticks.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Second course...

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Japanese for blowfish.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21Tuck in, boys.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Don't mind if I do!- Oh, no. Hang on, Cel.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27It says here that blowfish can be really poisonous

0:05:27 > 0:05:29if it's prepared wrong.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Might just pass, then.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Apparently, it can be more poisonous than...cyanide?!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Be my guest.- Yeah, I mean, I know this place is fine, but...

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- But what?- No.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Oh, this place looks good.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'm with him.

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Third course...

0:05:52 > 0:05:56They are balls of batter with octopus in the middle.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Mr Imai told me they're one of the most popular foods on the strip.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00Right.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08I quite like the outside. I'm not too keen on the inside, but...

0:06:08 > 0:06:11If you didn't know what that was, I think you'd like that.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14I like that.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Not as bad as I thought.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Sorry about his chopstick skills!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Fourth course...

0:06:24 > 0:06:25I'm not too sure about this.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27I mean, it's got dragon in it, so...

0:06:27 > 0:06:29What?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32No, the dragon's just the symbol of the restaurant.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Yeah, I know, but all other animals on the front of here

0:06:34 > 0:06:36is what's in the food. There could be dragon in this, Ed!

0:06:36 > 0:06:38A dragon is a mythical animal.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41If that is the case, you're saying this is just a noodle soup.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Yeah. Pork broth.- OK.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Mmm.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Mmm!- Scrumptious!- Mmm.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Oh!

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Ed, what was that saying they have round here about

0:06:59 > 0:07:01eating a lot of food?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Kuidaore - eat till you drop.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05It's just a saying.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Ohhh!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I think I'm with you. I'm totally...

0:07:09 > 0:07:12kui...daored. Woof!

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Do you have what it takes to be a top Formula One driver?

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Can you handle up to five Gs of acceleration?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Are you over 1.3m tall?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49That's not tall at all. It's only about yay high.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Yeah, that's cos you're not going to

0:07:51 > 0:07:53be in a Formula One racing car, guys.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57The height restriction is for riding on a roller coaster,

0:07:57 > 0:07:59and it's a very special roller coaster at that.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05This is the fastest roller coaster in the world!

0:08:05 > 0:08:08And it's been designed to give you a taste of what it feels like

0:08:08 > 0:08:11accelerating in a real Formula One car.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15In just 4.9 seconds,

0:08:15 > 0:08:17the Formula Rossa in Abu Dhabi

0:08:17 > 0:08:20will send you tearing along at an incredible

0:08:20 > 0:08:23240km per hour.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26And that's the closest thing to driving a Formula One racing car

0:08:26 > 0:08:29that most of us will ever get to experience.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30When the ride starts,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33the acceleration is so strong you get pushed back in your seat.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35That is called G-force.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37It happens on corners as well.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40And on some of them, you can experience up to five Gs.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42That's five times your own body weight.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Just as well I didn't have that third bowl of muesli this morning!

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Too long at five Gs, you can black out and lose consciousness.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51I'm more worried about losing my breakfast!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Right, Ed. Let's do this.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Oh, you won't be needing that, Iain. But you will be needing these.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59I went to the optician's last week. These are far more trendy.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01No, these are to protect your eyes.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Just imagine the damage that a speck of dust,

0:09:03 > 0:09:07or even a fly could do, travelling at 240km an hour.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Ouch-a! I SEE your point.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Just put them on.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18World's fastest roller coaster!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'm going to go on the world's fastest roller coaster.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Mum, I love you!- Ooooh!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Oh, wow. That's pretty... It's fine!

0:09:25 > 0:09:26This isn't fast at all!

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- This is really slow. I drive faster than this.- World's slowest

0:09:29 > 0:09:31roller coaster.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Just wait for it, boys.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Come on. Here we go. Come on, then!

0:10:53 > 0:10:54You look like you're in an '80s pop video.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57So do you. You're like an evil villain!

0:10:57 > 0:10:59He looks like a bad guy from a Batman movie.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01THEY LAUGH

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- One more go on the roller coaster?- Yeah.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Just don't overdo it, boys!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11It's well-known that roller coasters

0:11:11 > 0:11:14can have peculiar effects on the human body.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Ding!- Arrrgh!

0:11:20 > 0:11:24Waah! Arrrgh!

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Oh! Oh!

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Please have a seat.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Right, cocker. I am Herr Hairy Hacker,

0:11:35 > 0:11:37and this is Nursie Nurse Dodger.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Hello.- All right, yeah. What seems to be the problem?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Well, it's been a real roller coaster.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well, life does have its ups and downs. Yes.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- NEXT!- Thank you.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48No, no, no, I mean, it's been a real roller coaster.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50I've just come off the world's fastest roller coaster -

0:11:50 > 0:11:52the Formula Rossa in Abu Dhabi.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I was terrified!- We're more terrier-fied, yeah.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Good. I mean, did you get that? It was...

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Arrrrgh!

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Ohhh!

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Sorry. I don't know what's going on!

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Better look it up, then, cocker.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08There you go.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Have a little read of that. So, er, what's the dog-nosis?

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Going up, down, left and right on a fast ride

0:12:16 > 0:12:20can cause an imbalance in the inner ear, making you feel dizzy.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21Pre-zactly!

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Now tell me. What was the ride like?

0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Sick.- Oh, sick, wicked, rad.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29No, no. I mean, I'm going to be sick.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31- Ooh! - HE VOMITS

0:12:34 > 0:12:39This can also cause a valve to open between the oesophagus and stomach,

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- making you want to vomit.- Oh, I wish you'd read that bit first!

0:12:42 > 0:12:45You've just chucked up all over my favourite love-love areas.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Would you like a glass of water?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Oh, yes, please.- Yeah, me too.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Right, apart from the extreme dizziness and throwing up,

0:12:53 > 0:12:55you seem paw-fectly fine to me!

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Wooahhh!

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Woooaah!

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Oh, what's happening to me?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03I don't know. Why are you asking us?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06I thought you two were qualified psychologists.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Did you?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10I mean, yes, yes, we are, yes.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Is there anything...

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Nursie Nurse. Fetch the camera.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yes, yes. There we go.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31# Conceived in the 3rd century BC

0:14:31 > 0:14:34# And most of it built during the Ming Dynasty

0:14:34 > 0:14:37# The Great Wall of China

0:14:37 > 0:14:40# As walls go, there's nothing finer

0:14:40 > 0:14:43# Over 200 years to complete construction

0:14:43 > 0:14:46# It's got to be said It's quite an obstruction

0:14:52 > 0:14:55# Along the walls, towers are dotted

0:14:55 > 0:14:58# So barbarian raiders can be spotted

0:14:58 > 0:15:01# Its average height's eight metres tall

0:15:01 > 0:15:03# It really is proving a most troublesome wall

0:15:03 > 0:15:07# There are battlements on either side

0:15:07 > 0:15:09# And several of the towers vary in style

0:15:09 > 0:15:12# The slope and width depend on terrain

0:15:12 > 0:15:15# Getting over it's proving to be quite a pain!

0:15:15 > 0:15:18# The solution to our problem we found it

0:15:18 > 0:15:21# And it's much too far to go round it

0:15:21 > 0:15:23# The Great Wall of China

0:15:23 > 0:15:26# As walls go, there's nothing finer

0:15:26 > 0:15:30# I've discovered on closer inspection

0:15:30 > 0:15:33# It's not one wall, it's a collection

0:15:33 > 0:15:35# The Great Wall of China

0:15:35 > 0:15:38# As walls go, there's nothing finer

0:15:38 > 0:15:41# The mortar was mixed with sticky rice

0:15:41 > 0:15:44# That may well be true, yet it doesn't taste nice

0:15:44 > 0:15:47# The wall was breached by some enemies

0:15:47 > 0:15:50# The Manchu Qing who replaced the Ming Dynasty

0:15:50 > 0:15:53# Marched through the Shanhai Pass in 1664

0:15:53 > 0:15:56# Looks like someone forgot to close the door!

0:15:56 > 0:15:58# The Great Wall of China

0:15:58 > 0:16:01# As walls go, there's nothing finer

0:16:01 > 0:16:04# 9,000 kilometres from east to west

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- # Of all the great walls, this is the best. #- Arrgh!

0:16:07 > 0:16:10# The Great Wall of China

0:16:10 > 0:16:13# As walls go, there's nothing finer

0:16:13 > 0:16:16# An architectural marvel, an amazing place

0:16:16 > 0:16:20# Despite what you've heard, you can't see it from space. #

0:16:20 > 0:16:22HA-HA!

0:16:37 > 0:16:38"Is it a bird?"

0:16:40 > 0:16:42"Is it a plane?"

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Ed, is that you?

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I cannot reveal my true identity,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Pink Cardigan Lady.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Why are you dressed like that? You're supposed to be a superhero.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- I'm a cat woman.- No, you were supposed to be Catwoman!

0:16:55 > 0:16:56Not a cat woman.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58You know, black costume, pointy ears.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02So, I'm not... I'm not just a lady who likes cats, then?

0:17:02 > 0:17:06No! You clearly need to be educated about all things superhero.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Good job we're at this place!

0:17:23 > 0:17:26This is amazing!

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- I don't know who half these superheroes are.- Nor me.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Especially this one, he's a bit underwhelming.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- TRANSLATION:- Er, welcome to the Batcat museum!

0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Oh! - THEY LAUGH

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Somchai has the largest collection of superhero toys and collectables

0:17:40 > 0:17:45in Thailand. And he needs a dynamic duo to use their super senses

0:17:45 > 0:17:49to search for his prized Batman possessions.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I guess you two will have to do.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54My favourite thing is something that Batman wears,

0:17:54 > 0:17:56and there's only three in the world.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Let's go, sidekick!- Let's go!

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Here, what about Batman's utility belt?

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Oh, that must be it. That's a proper antique, that, isn't it?- Cool!

0:18:08 > 0:18:12Finally, you need to find something that is important to Batman

0:18:12 > 0:18:14and is recognisable throughout the world.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Come on, useless sidekick!

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Useless?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Here, Ed. Look at this.

0:18:23 > 0:18:24Oh, of course! Must be this.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Do you know what? I like the blue, don't get me wrong.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30But I think it should be black, cos, like, bats are... Oh!

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Hello, and welcome to everyone's favourite game show...

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Let's meet today's contestant, Larry.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46- It's Lauren.- I'm going to ask you questions about a superhero,

0:18:46 > 0:18:49and you've got to say whether they're real or not.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Are they a hero, or a big fat zero?

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Let's begin.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59It's the Incredible Hulk. He's a very famous superhero.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02But what about Animal Vegetable Mineral Man?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Is he a hero or a zero?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06I'm going to say zero.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Ohhh-aaaaah! No!

0:19:09 > 0:19:11You got that wrong, Larry.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15No. Animal Vegetable Mineral Man has the ability to turn any part of his

0:19:15 > 0:19:17body into an animal, vegetable or mineral.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Here we are in the Star Wars section.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25This character is called Jar Jar Binks.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Looks like you, doesn't he? - Well, not really.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Question two - Squirrel Girl.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Is she a hero or a zero?

0:19:33 > 0:19:36That doesn't sound like a superhero to me. I'm going to say...

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- zero.- Ahhhhhh!

0:19:38 > 0:19:41No. No, you got that wrong.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45Squirrel Girl is a girl with the powers of a squirrel.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52You get this question right, you win this car...

0:19:52 > 0:19:53SHE GASPS

0:19:53 > 0:19:56..dboard cut-out of my face.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Flower Girl has the ability to blossom into any plant,

0:19:59 > 0:20:03and uses pollen to give her archenemies hay fever.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Hero or zero?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08You want me to think it's so bizarre that it couldn't possibly be real.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10So, I'm going to say...

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- superhero.- At last! That's it!

0:20:14 > 0:20:16She's incorrect again.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20A flower girl is just a girl that carries flowers at a wedding.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24But the good news is, you get to watch me keep this.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26- What a shame.- See you next time!

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Tigers, here?- Here, yes.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Grrreat!

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's this about tigers?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Oh, yeah. I meant to mention. Here in India,

0:20:56 > 0:20:58the national animal is a tiger.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00And we're going to see hundreds of tigers today!

0:21:00 > 0:21:01Here, in India, obviously.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Isn't that a bit dangerous? I mean, aren't tigers bitey?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Oh, no, these tigers are famous for their dancing.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Dancing tigers? Isn't that a bit cruel?

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Now you come to mention it, yeah, it is, isn't it?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Yeah.- Right. It'll be time to take that T-shirt off soon.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17You won't be needing that today.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19What, I've got to take my T-shirt off?

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Don't worry, Inel. These tigers don't bite.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24But they are dressed to kill.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28This is pulikali, which means "tiger play".

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Every year in the town of Thrissur,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33hundreds of people dress up like tigers to mark

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Kerala's 10-day long Onam Festival.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40Onam is the most important festival in Kerala,

0:21:40 > 0:21:42celebrating the harvest season.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47They enjoy feasts, boat races and massive parades full of tigers.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50See, Inel? I told you not to worry. Loads of men with their tops off.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Yeah, I'm starting to feel a little overdressed.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Maybe I should ask one of these tigers what's going down.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Hey, Mr Tiger! You don't bite, do you?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01- TRANSLATION:- No, sir, I don't bite. Unless you want me to!

0:22:01 > 0:22:03I hope not. You're not a real tiger!

0:22:03 > 0:22:05We were told there was going to be hundreds of tigers here.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08We didn't realise they'd be painted on people's bellies.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09How long does it take?

0:22:09 > 0:22:13It takes about three hours, which is a lot of time.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15I had to get up and shave my chest before getting

0:22:15 > 0:22:18the first layer of paint on my body before breakfast, you know?

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Before eating.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Quite a long time!- Yeah.- Do you reckon I'd make a good tiger?

0:22:24 > 0:22:26No, you need a big belly like me!

0:22:26 > 0:22:27And you need to eat a lot more rice.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Get that tummy full!

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm too fit. I'm too fit. Aww!

0:22:33 > 0:22:36I definitely can't do that.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40Sorry, Ed! But it is best to have a big belly

0:22:40 > 0:22:42if you want to be a pulikali dancer.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45The movement helps bring the tiger to life.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49Can we still join in even if we haven't got the belly for it?

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Sure, sir! Anybody can take part.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55Pulikali is proud to welcome everybody here to Thrissur.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58You just need a bit more make-up on your body, on your arms.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Ha-ha-ha. See? I reckon you could do with a bit of make-up, as well.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Oh, cheers.- Yeah.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Put your claws away, boys. It's time for make-up!

0:23:07 > 0:23:09I feel totally at ease with this.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19I do love the fact that he can just draw, like, wildcats just like that,

0:23:19 > 0:23:21without looking at any inspiration.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26He's the master, OK?

0:23:26 > 0:23:27He's doing a good job so far.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34All big cats are welcome here at pulikali,

0:23:34 > 0:23:38but the important thing is that Ed and Inel must impress their team by

0:23:38 > 0:23:40following three simple rules...

0:23:41 > 0:23:43The three-step tiger move...

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Dancing the 3km Tiger Trail deep into the night.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50And...

0:23:50 > 0:23:54An understanding of the pulikali way.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Ladies and gents, I give you

0:23:57 > 0:24:00tigerish Ed and leopard-esque Inel!

0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'm a tiger-leopard hybrid, nice to meet you.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08Right. May the best tiger-leopard...liger-teopard win.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Sounds like a bet! Let's do it!

0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Rrarr!- Rrarr!

0:24:14 > 0:24:18How are you doing? It's the very first female pulikali

0:24:18 > 0:24:20- in the history of the event. - Rihanna!

0:24:20 > 0:24:23How cool is that? Are you excited?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Yeah.- Yeah? Are you going to be a good tiger?- Yeah.- Rrrar!

0:24:26 > 0:24:28THEY LAUGH

0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Here we go!- Here we go!

0:24:30 > 0:24:34DRUMMERS PLAY

0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Yay!- Ha-ha!- Ha-ha!

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Remember, for Ed and Inel to earn their stripes today,

0:24:49 > 0:24:54they must impress their team with their steps, stamina and spirit.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Who will have the eye of the tiger,

0:24:56 > 0:25:00and who will just be a big pussycat?

0:25:00 > 0:25:04This is the Tiger Dance Off Main Event!

0:25:08 > 0:25:13It's a slow and steady start from Ed and Inel.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Shuffling along in the three-step style.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20The judges will like that discipline.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24And left foot! And right foot!

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Oh!

0:25:30 > 0:25:31Woo!

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Those drums are loud, man. Oh!

0:25:38 > 0:25:42I'm the best liger-teopard you've ever seen!

0:25:45 > 0:25:47It all got a bit hectic in there, didn't it?

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Oh, yeah. Sorry, I apologise if I got hyped up a bit.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51I was... I let loose. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53I don't know what happened.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55I couldn't even tell which one was you.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Like, I lost you at one point. And then I saw the tall one.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00- I was like, "Oh, that's him."- I bet he knew who I was in there!

0:26:00 > 0:26:01INEL LAUGHS

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Now it's time for Ed and Inel to impress the judges

0:26:04 > 0:26:07with their pulikali spirit.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Offering a coconut to the Hindu elephant god Ganesh

0:26:10 > 0:26:13by smashing it against the temple.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Obviously.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17That was brilliant!

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Where on earth are Ed and Inel hiding?

0:26:28 > 0:26:30They must be locked in a dance battle somewhere.

0:26:30 > 0:26:34We're just holding hands, as tigers do.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Just chilling at the festival.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39It's actually really helpful, cos it's hard to see where everybody is

0:26:39 > 0:26:41when you've got these masks on.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44- I can't hear a thing you're saying! - INEL LAUGHS

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Well, listen up, Inel.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48The sun has set on the pulikali.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51After almost three hours of dancing,

0:26:51 > 0:26:55it's time to show your stamina and impress the organisers.

0:26:55 > 0:26:56Time for one final dance.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08- I can barely lift my legs now! - I know!

0:27:08 > 0:27:10That's the most amount of exercise I think I've done all year!

0:27:10 > 0:27:13You must be able to get some dance moves out!

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Just about. I'm running on empty, man. But that was insane!

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Lively leopard Inel has pulled off some sweet steps,

0:27:21 > 0:27:25but slow and steady Eddie has kept his tiger energy to the end.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Is it enough? Who will roar to victory?

0:27:28 > 0:27:32The judges have made their decision.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35- TRANSLATION:- And the winner is Ed!

0:27:35 > 0:27:39- How? Why?- We felt that Inel was clearly the better dancer,

0:27:39 > 0:27:42but Ed had the steps that truly captured the pulikali spirit.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Look at them go!

0:27:45 > 0:27:47You've been watching All Over The Place Asia!
