On today's show - Ed reveals what he wants to be when he grows up...

0:00:050:00:09

Coolest grandad ever!

0:00:090:00:11

..Ben dances like no-one's watching,

0:00:110:00:14

Chris goes on an ELF kick,

0:00:140:00:16

Lauren forgets the health kick,

0:00:160:00:19

Victoria tries to persuade someone she's very important...

0:00:190:00:23

He doesn't seem too sure but I am!

0:00:230:00:25

..Sam and Mark have lots to crow about

0:00:250:00:27

and Johny makes a confession about his brain.

0:00:270:00:31

Here's the thing, it hasn't been used for years.

0:00:310:00:33

# All over the place All over the place

0:00:340:00:39

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

0:00:390:00:42

# Me and my mates all over the place

0:00:420:00:45

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

0:00:450:00:47

# Whatever we do is strange and true

0:00:470:00:50

# All over the place All over the place

0:00:500:00:55

# There's lots to do in Europe that is totally ace

0:00:550:00:57

-# And it turns up...

-All over the place! #

0:00:570:01:01

This area of France is known for its extreme biodiversity

0:01:110:01:16

of birdlife, Birdie Ben.

0:01:160:01:17

Yes, and extreme bird-watching requires extreme camouflage...

0:01:170:01:22

(and extreme quiet if we want to get up close to these birds.)

0:01:220:01:27

Extremely pink birds call for

0:01:270:01:30

extremely pink camouflage, Birdie Ben.

0:01:300:01:33

Despite the boys' rubbish camouflage,

0:01:390:01:42

this is an extremely good place to spot extremely high numbers of pink

0:01:420:01:46

flamingos, because there can be up to 40,000 birds here at any one time.

0:01:460:01:52

That would fill up half of London's Olympic Stadium.

0:01:520:01:55

Want to know more about these magnificent birds?

0:01:550:01:58

Better ask flamingo man Frederic

0:01:580:02:00

while balancing on one comedy leg, of course.

0:02:000:02:03

Fred, why do flamingos stand on one leg? It's really difficult.

0:02:030:02:07

-TRANSLATION:

-Well, it's very hard you but not for them.

0:02:070:02:09

In fact, they need to be on one leg because it's more comfortable

0:02:090:02:13

-and the water is quite cold, so this way it helps them keep warm.

-Right.

0:02:130:02:16

It might be more comfortable for them but it's rubbish for us.

0:02:160:02:19

-Ben, your turn.

-OK, answer me this, Fred, how come flamingos are pink?

0:02:190:02:23

That's easy. You see, they eat plankton, which is a microorganism,

0:02:230:02:27

and they find some carotene inside the plankton.

0:02:270:02:30

The carotene passes through the blood, then it colours

0:02:300:02:32

their feathers, so that's why they're pink, like yourselves.

0:02:320:02:35

That's all well and good, Fred, but you're a bit unprofessional working

0:02:350:02:38

here and not wearing a camouflage pink tutu like us, aren't you?

0:02:380:02:41

Well, I couldn't find any pink T-shirts this morning,

0:02:410:02:44

I'm very sorry, but I've got to say, you're pretty good.

0:02:440:02:47

Now, you need to come back for the dance because the flamingos do

0:02:470:02:51

a mating dance and that's how they find a new partner to dance with.

0:02:510:02:54

-Hi, I'm Eddie.

-And I'm Benny.

0:03:010:03:03

And today on The Next Flamingo Step, we're going to be teaching

0:03:030:03:06

you some dance moves to impress all those flamingos out there. Boom!

0:03:060:03:10

That's right, Eddie, but first up, let's check out the pros in action.

0:03:100:03:15

This birdie ritual sees male flamingos dancing in a group

0:03:180:03:23

to impress their female friends and find a mate.

0:03:230:03:27

OK, so today's first move is so simple, it's all in the neck.

0:03:290:03:34

You've got to remember, flamingos have these awesome long necks

0:03:340:03:38

and you've got to stand out from 40,000 love rivals,

0:03:380:03:40

so we're going to do the like this. After me.

0:03:400:03:43

One and two and three and four. One and two and three and four...

0:03:430:03:46

You've got it!

0:03:460:03:47

OK, so once you've got that locked down, it's all about the feet.

0:03:470:03:51

So, keep it straight with your hips and torso

0:03:510:03:54

and shuffle rapidly from side to side, but stay tight with your crew,

0:03:540:03:57

because these guys love symmetry,

0:03:570:03:59

and a one, two, three, six, nine to 12.

0:03:590:04:02

Oh, yeah. Boom!

0:04:040:04:06

Then you've just got to bring back the next move

0:04:060:04:08

we learned earlier and you're ready to flamin-go.

0:04:080:04:11

Two, three, 17, you've got it!

0:04:110:04:13

Oh, wow! This is actually working.

0:04:170:04:19

The flamingos are flying straight towards us.

0:04:190:04:22

-SPLAT!

-Oh, boom.

0:04:220:04:25

Once the flamingos have found a mate,

0:04:270:04:29

they spend the nesting season here in the Camargue.

0:04:290:04:32

It's the only colony of pink flamingos in France.

0:04:320:04:36

C'est magnifique!

0:04:360:04:38

I tell you what, Ed, this place is amazing, but I still

0:04:380:04:41

think it's a bit weird that birds and animals do these silly dances.

0:04:410:04:44

Yeah, and eat such strange food.

0:04:440:04:47

Well, if there's anything that's as you TUTU,

0:04:470:04:50

but you're not as strange as some of the names

0:04:500:04:53

of groups of birds and animals.

0:04:530:04:54

Hello, bird-watchers and welcome to springtime in the garden.

0:04:540:05:01

Let's see what warbling, winged wonders

0:05:010:05:04

we can witness from our live feed in the garden.

0:05:040:05:08

Would you believe it?

0:05:080:05:10

I spy a couple of crows. They must have lost their flock.

0:05:100:05:15

Did you hear that? Oh, Blondie!

0:05:150:05:18

We don't have a flock.

0:05:180:05:19

A group of crows is called a murder, a hover, a parcel.

0:05:190:05:23

And we're not lost,

0:05:230:05:25

we're just topping up our vitamin D levels by sunbathing.

0:05:250:05:28

I thought you were an expert! Hahaha!

0:05:280:05:30

Sorry about this, viewers.

0:05:300:05:33

I'd forgotten that crows can be great mimics

0:05:330:05:36

and have been known to count aloud and even learn complete sentences.

0:05:360:05:41

I am an expert, thank you very much.

0:05:410:05:43

There's nothing I don't know about the animal kingdom, nothing.

0:05:430:05:46

All right, touchy. Hey, don't get your hair curlers in a twist.

0:05:460:05:49

CROWS LAUGH

0:05:490:05:51

-So what do you call a group of ants, then?

-Erm...

0:05:510:05:54

Eh-eh! The answer is a nest, an army, a colony, a state,

0:05:540:06:00

a swarm, or even a bike of ants.

0:06:000:06:03

-What about a load of swans?

-Well, erm...

-Eh-eh!

0:06:030:06:09

They are called a bevy, a herd, a wedge or a lamentation of swans.

0:06:090:06:15

-I knew that, actually.

-Yeah, yeah, of course you knew that(!)

0:06:150:06:18

"I knew that, yeah, yeah." Whatever.

0:06:180:06:20

Go on, then, hit me with another one. I'm ready for it.

0:06:200:06:23

A group of goldfish is called a...

0:06:230:06:25

Hey, nice impression, but I'm afraid

0:06:270:06:30

the correct answer is a troubling of goldfish.

0:06:300:06:33

-No!

-I tell you what is troubling,

0:06:330:06:35

the fact that he calls himself an expert!

0:06:350:06:38

-THEY CHUCKLE

-Right, that's it, I quit!

0:06:380:06:41

-You can present the next link!

-Ooh! Touched a nerve?

0:06:410:06:48

Anyway, viewers, take a look at this lovely little piece that we did

0:06:480:06:51

-on a gang of ferrets.

-It's a business of ferrets actually. Ha!

0:06:510:06:56

In your face, crows! You see, I am an expert! I am!

0:06:560:07:00

Ed, I know you're sad to be leaving Serbia,

0:07:120:07:14

but I've got a little surprise for you.

0:07:140:07:16

I think you're going to absolutely love this. Open them.

0:07:160:07:20

Yes, we are flying home in our very own All Over The Place private jet.

0:07:200:07:25

WHAT?! That's amazing!

0:07:250:07:26

I mean, it looks a bit old, but still that's incredible.

0:07:260:07:29

Does it actually work?

0:07:290:07:31

-Here's the thing, it hasn't been used for years, but...

-Go on.

0:07:310:07:35

And it doesn't have a pilot or a working engine and...

0:07:350:07:39

And what, Johny?

0:07:390:07:41

And it's kind of owned by Branislav, who works here

0:07:410:07:44

at the aeroplane museum in Belgrade.

0:07:440:07:47

So what you're trying to say is...

0:07:470:07:49

I just stuck some old All Over The Place stickers on an aeroplane

0:07:490:07:52

and tried to pretend it was our private jet.

0:07:520:07:54

-Mm.

-Could you help me get them off, actually?

0:07:540:07:57

I think Branislav's going to be really angry at me.

0:07:570:07:59

Ed, could you just... Ed. Ed, it's... Ed?!

0:07:590:08:03

Right, Branislav, we might not have our very own All Over The Place

0:08:170:08:20

private jet, but we have got All Over The Place sick bags.

0:08:200:08:22

-Wow!

-HE LAUGHS

0:08:220:08:24

Don't worry, we use keep them to keep our questions in.

0:08:240:08:27

So, the first question is, can you fly this plane?

0:08:270:08:30

-TRANSLATION:

-Yes, of course I can,

0:08:300:08:32

but what you must understand is that this plane is no longer in service.

0:08:320:08:36

It's an exhibition in the museum and anyway,

0:08:360:08:39

there's no space to fly in here.

0:08:390:08:41

I mean, I couldn't lift it off

0:08:410:08:42

and there is a roof over my head, could I? It'd be dangerous.

0:08:420:08:45

Where do these planes, from? Where do you get them?

0:08:450:08:49

Well, most of the planes were collected from the Army.

0:08:490:08:51

Once they're finished with them, we repair them and conserve them.

0:08:510:08:55

Also, we get them from aeroclubs

0:08:550:08:57

and former Yugoslav commercial airlines, like the big one outside.

0:08:570:09:01

Yeah, that one. We get them from everywhere, but except outer space,

0:09:010:09:05

but we're working on that, so watch this outer space, if you like.

0:09:050:09:09

Ed, I thought you said nobody had been sick in this bag? Urgh!

0:09:090:09:12

Oh, yeah, sorry about that.

0:09:120:09:14

You know what is sick?

0:09:140:09:16

This collection of amazing planes.

0:09:160:09:18

This museum has the biggest collection of old Serbian

0:09:200:09:24

and Yugoslavian aircraft in the world,

0:09:240:09:26

so maybe you two can blag a free lift home after all.

0:09:260:09:30

What a cool collection. I'm just gutted about that "private" jet.

0:09:300:09:34

Well, here's the thing, Ed,

0:09:340:09:36

I've managed to rustle up another private jet!

0:09:360:09:39

That's a helicopter, Johny...with an All Over The Place sticker on it.

0:09:400:09:44

-Oh, yeah.

-He really needs to learn more about planes.

0:09:440:09:48

Hello! And welcome to the game show that's so desperate for contestants,

0:09:520:09:56

we'd even asked Johnny Pitts to play.

0:09:560:09:58

Now let's meet today's contestant. Johny Pitts.

0:09:580:10:01

-Hi, there. It's great to be...

-Shh! No.

0:10:010:10:04

Some of the aircraft in the collection,

0:10:060:10:09

have very dangerous-sounding names like Hurricane,

0:10:090:10:12

Thunder Jet and Predator.

0:10:120:10:13

-So what's the scary name of this one? Name that plane!

-Erm...

0:10:130:10:17

something like Destroyer.

0:10:170:10:20

Ooh! Close. No, it's Douglas.

0:10:200:10:22

It's known as the Douglas C-47 Skytrain.

0:10:220:10:26

This supersonic Russian MiG aircraft has a complicated

0:10:280:10:33

Russian name, obviously, but NATO gave it a fishy-sounding nickname.

0:10:330:10:39

-I can't think...

-Name it!

-Fish pie!

0:10:390:10:42

Ooh, I love a nice fish pie.

0:10:420:10:44

But no, that's incorrect.

0:10:440:10:46

The name is actually Fishbed. Yes.

0:10:460:10:50

What's the biggest plane in the collection?

0:10:520:10:54

Name that plane.

0:10:540:10:56

I'm guessing it's this one right here

0:10:560:10:58

and it says its name on it, so Caravelle?

0:10:580:11:01

Er, oh, yes, that's correct.

0:11:010:11:03

That's one of Yugoslavia's first commercial jet liners

0:11:030:11:06

from the 1960s, and for a bonus point,

0:11:060:11:08

can you tell me the name of its cleaner?

0:11:080:11:11

Its cleaner? What do you mean?

0:11:110:11:13

Well, is cleaned regularly by volunteers

0:11:130:11:16

and today's volunteer is you. Hahaha!

0:11:160:11:19

Hello. We are in Harnarfjordur,

0:11:340:11:36

known as the elf capital of Iceland. Why?

0:11:360:11:38

Because according to Icelandic folklore, within these hills

0:11:380:11:42

and rocks there lies the hidden people. Come on, Ed.

0:11:420:11:45

-Are you ready to go looking for some elves?

-I sure am. Ah-huh-huh!

0:11:450:11:48

Elves, Ed. We're looking for elves.

0:11:480:11:52

Yeah, I knew that.

0:11:520:11:54

Really? You thought we were looking for Elvis, didn't you?

0:11:540:11:57

-Whatever gave you that idea?

-Call it a sixth sense.

0:11:570:12:01

# Looking for elves and it ain't no joke

0:12:030:12:05

# In Icelandic some get called huldufolk

0:12:050:12:08

# Ignore that I'm dressed as this Elvis bloke

0:12:080:12:11

# Come on let's search for the hidden folk

0:12:110:12:14

# Icelanders believe these folk exist

0:12:140:12:16

# And their claims can't easily be dismissed

0:12:160:12:19

# They won't move rocks they think are elf homes

0:12:190:12:22

# For fear of upsetting these sprites and gnomes

0:12:220:12:24

BOTH: # Elf rock

0:12:240:12:26

# Can't move an elf rock

0:12:260:12:28

# Road-building has to stop

0:12:290:12:32

# Cos you can't move an elf rock

0:12:320:12:35

# Hafnarfjordur is an elf hot spot

0:12:350:12:38

# I wonder if we'll find and here or not?

0:12:380:12:40

# The street is named Elf Hill Road

0:12:400:12:43

# The story of this place needs to be told

0:12:430:12:46

# Builders tried to level this hill

0:12:460:12:48

# But it seems the elves were living there still

0:12:480:12:51

# When they tried to build a road to the town

0:12:510:12:53

# The machinery kept breaking down

0:12:530:12:56

BOTH: # Elf rock

0:12:560:12:58

# Can't move an elf rock

0:12:580:13:01

# Road-building has to stop

0:13:010:13:04

# Cos you can't move an elf rock

0:13:040:13:07

# The story goes that when the workers

0:13:070:13:10

# Tried to break down this stone

0:13:100:13:12

# They saw a vision of a fire destroying a local home

0:13:120:13:18

# The message was that if you try to turn this stone to rubble

0:13:180:13:23

# You'd better be prepared to face and Elvish heap of trouble

0:13:230:13:28

# So when it came to moving this elf church

0:13:280:13:31

# They didn't want to be left in the lurch

0:13:310:13:33

# So the road-builders used a local seer

0:13:330:13:36

# To make a pact with the elves to put them in the clear

0:13:360:13:39

# They carefully split the stone in two

0:13:390:13:41

# And moved it over a field of dew

0:13:410:13:44

# Because the elves were well-prepared

0:13:440:13:47

# There was no need for people to be scared

0:13:470:13:49

BOTH: # Church rock

0:13:490:13:51

# They moved the church work

0:13:510:13:55

# They carried it in two blocks

0:13:550:13:57

# And moved the elf church rock... #

0:13:570:14:01

Apparently there are 13 different types of elves.

0:14:010:14:04

Yeah, and not one of them looks like Elvis!

0:14:040:14:07

BOTH: # ..Elf rock

0:14:070:14:09

# Can't move an elf rock

0:14:090:14:12

# Road-building has to stop Cos you can't move an elf rock. #

0:14:120:14:19

Thank you very much.

0:14:190:14:20

Once upon a time, Ed and Lauren discovered a magical place

0:14:320:14:36

where all their wishes could come true.

0:14:360:14:39

I hope they use them widely wifely.

0:14:390:14:41

This place is amazing! It's just like a fairytale.

0:14:410:14:44

Yeah, and in any good fairytale, you get granted three wishes.

0:14:440:14:47

We should wish to make these tourists vanish.

0:14:470:14:50

They're blocking our view a bit.

0:14:500:14:51

Ah, great! Much better view.

0:14:540:14:56

Lake Bled is famous for its cream cakes,

0:14:560:14:59

so I wish for a kremna rezina.

0:14:590:15:02

-Ooh!

-Oh, brilliant!

-Yes!

0:15:030:15:05

-Mm!

-Oh, hang on, that's two wishes.

0:15:050:15:09

We've only got one wish left.

0:15:090:15:11

We'd better use it for something really important.

0:15:110:15:14

Shut your cake hole!

0:15:140:15:15

And no more speaking with your mouths full!

0:15:150:15:18

Lake Bled is the number-one tourist attraction in Slovenia

0:15:180:15:21

and the lake was created thousands of years ago

0:15:210:15:24

by the melting Bohinj Glacier.

0:15:240:15:26

There is a castle on the hill and an island in the middle of the lake

0:15:260:15:29

and the best way to get there is to swim really fast. No, wait.

0:15:290:15:33

It's by using one of these things called a pletna.

0:15:330:15:36

Ed and Lauren, you have 25 seconds

0:15:360:15:38

to find out as much as you can about Lake Bled.

0:15:380:15:42

Lauren, you have Matjaz

0:15:420:15:44

who knows all about the island

0:15:440:15:46

and, Ed, you have Robert who knows all about pletnas.

0:15:460:15:50

Whoever finds out the most gets a reward.

0:15:500:15:54

Trije, dva, en, start!

0:15:540:15:58

Matjaz, how many tourists come here every year?

0:15:580:16:01

-TRANSLATION:

-Every year, we have over 300,000 visitors.

0:16:010:16:04

-What is a pletna?

-TRANSLATION:

-A pletna is a flat-bottomed boat.

0:16:040:16:08

Oh, right. I've got a flat bottom.

0:16:080:16:10

What's on the island?

0:16:100:16:11

On the island there's a church, a nice restaurant

0:16:110:16:14

-and a small souvenir shop.

-How long does it take to get to the island?

0:16:140:16:17

It takes about 15 minutes to reach the island.

0:16:170:16:19

-Is Slovenia the best country in the world?

-Yes, definitely.

0:16:190:16:22

KLAXON

0:16:220:16:24

-I did well.

-Yeah.

-You did well as well.

-I know.

-We both did well.

0:16:240:16:28

Since you're here, it would be a shame to miss out on a trip

0:16:280:16:32

to the island and it gives me time to tot up the scores.

0:16:320:16:36

MUTTERS ..96...

0:16:360:16:37

And the winner is...

0:16:370:16:40

-Lauren!

-Yes!

-Congratulations!

0:16:400:16:43

Your prize is to be carried up these 99 steps to the church.

0:16:430:16:47

It's a tradition for those who get married on the island,

0:16:470:16:50

-but since Ed lost, I'll make an exception.

-Oh, yes!

0:16:500:16:55

Tradition also dictates the person getting carried can't talk.

0:16:550:16:59

-It's bad luck.

-What?! Any other small print?

-You're too heavy!

0:16:590:17:04

You have eaten too much cake!

0:17:040:17:05

You mustn't talk, it might bring us bad luck.

0:17:090:17:11

I know, I'll use my last wish. I wish I was at the top of the stairs.

0:17:110:17:16

Wow! It worked. It worked! Lauren? Lauren?

0:17:190:17:24

You forgot to wish me up there as well, you wally!

0:17:240:17:27

Well, she needs the exercise after all that cake. Oh, ice cream!

0:17:270:17:31

Despite being complete buffoons,

0:17:310:17:33

Ed and Lauren somehow make it to the wonderful church on Lake Bled island.

0:17:330:17:38

There, they find a bell that, when rung three times, will give them

0:17:380:17:42

one more wish.

0:17:420:17:44

Oh! I know why they called it Lake Bled now.

0:17:440:17:46

It's because of all the blood vessels you burst

0:17:460:17:49

trying to ring this bell.

0:17:490:17:50

Come on, you wimp. You can do it. You can do it.

0:17:500:17:53

-BELL RINGS

-Oh, first ring.

-There it was.

0:17:570:17:59

Hello, Lake Bled. Ed Petrie has arrived!

0:17:590:18:03

Hear me ring now!

0:18:030:18:04

Oh, hang on, how many rings did you say I had to do for the wishes?

0:18:040:18:07

-Like, three.

-Ah. I think I've done about 33.

0:18:070:18:11

Yeah, I think you might have messed that up.

0:18:110:18:14

Oi, stop ringing that bell! You're ruining everyone's peace and quiet.

0:18:140:18:19

-People come here to relax, you know.

-Oh, hiya, Mum. Yeah, just arrived.

0:18:190:18:24

Oh, it's lovely, there's a beautiful lake and a gorgeous island.

0:18:240:18:28

It's almost like going back in time.

0:18:280:18:31

Hello! And willkommen to Lake Bled.

0:18:310:18:34

-Who are you?

-A Swiss man, Arnold Rikli,

0:18:340:18:37

founder of Lake Bled's world-famous Institute of Natural Healing.

0:18:370:18:42

Lots of people come from all year round to experience my pioneering

0:18:420:18:45

health treatments. Stretch!

0:18:450:18:48

Here is the schedule.

0:18:480:18:50

All the guests must rise between five and six o'clock.

0:18:500:18:53

-Oh, in the afternoon? No problem.

-Nein, in the morning.

0:18:530:18:56

And then they must go for a bracing walk.

0:18:560:18:58

-Oh, forgot my walking shoes, haven't I?

-Shoes! Ha!

0:18:580:19:02

Nein! All the guests must walk barefoot through the grass

0:19:020:19:05

to aid circulation.

0:19:050:19:06

Und squat!

0:19:060:19:08

Then, at ten o'clock, you will bathe in the cleansing spring water

0:19:080:19:12

with a natural temperature of ten degrees.

0:19:120:19:15

But don't worry, you will soon warm up. Brace. Mm!

0:19:150:19:19

Then, after a modest lunch, there will be more baths

0:19:190:19:23

and more walks and then the evening meal.

0:19:230:19:26

Stretch! Here is the menu.

0:19:260:19:30

-Is there any meat dishes on here?

-Nein.

-NINE meat dishes? Brilliant.

0:19:300:19:34

-Whereabouts?

-Nein, all our food is vegetarian.

0:19:340:19:37

What's the point of going on holiday if you can't eat what you want?

0:19:370:19:40

A holiday that is good for you!

0:19:400:19:42

My treatments have proved effective against rheumatism,

0:19:420:19:45

high blood pressure und migraines.

0:19:450:19:47

That's funny because you're starting to make my head hurt!

0:19:470:19:50

I'll tell you what, you can take your funny food and your

0:19:500:19:52

weird walks and your cold bathing and you can... Jump in the lake!

0:19:520:19:57

Ja, the final part of my pioneering treatment.

0:19:570:20:00

Ed. Ed, I was only joking.

0:20:000:20:03

It doesn't actually say that in the script!

0:20:030:20:05

-SPLASH

-Argh! Oh!

0:20:050:20:08

Oh, this is the life, isn't it, Vic?

0:20:230:20:25

The open road, you and me, Ed and Vic.

0:20:250:20:30

Vic and Ed. Ed and Vic.

0:20:300:20:33

Er, yeah, about that, Ed.

0:20:330:20:35

Who in the name of the Czech Republic are these randoms?

0:20:380:20:41

Ahoj!

0:20:410:20:43

-Ahoj!

-Hang on a minute, this isn't a road map.

0:20:430:20:47

It's the Czech Book of Records. If I had to guess,

0:20:470:20:49

I'd say you were trying to fit in some last-minute practice trying to

0:20:490:20:52

cram in as many Czech people as possible into a British automobile

0:20:520:20:54

so you can beat me, win the All Over Place trophy and gain local

0:20:540:20:57

celebrity with entry into the Czech Book of Records.

0:20:570:20:59

And since when did you speak Czech?

0:20:590:21:01

IN CZECH:

0:21:010:21:05

Ooh! Check you out, Victoria!

0:21:050:21:08

But luckily Ed has parked in the right place.

0:21:080:21:11

That's because Pelhrimov in the Czech Republic is the town of records.

0:21:110:21:16

Over 30 records are attempted here and every successful one

0:21:160:21:20

makes its way into the famous Czech Book of Records.

0:21:200:21:24

For your first record attempt, guys,

0:21:240:21:26

fastest interview in a car with event organiser Lubos.

0:21:260:21:31

How did the festival start?

0:21:310:21:33

-TRANSLATION:

-Well, it started in 1990 and, basically,

0:21:330:21:39

we just wanted to entertain people.

0:21:390:21:41

The records aren't themselves just done for the sake of it.

0:21:410:21:44

We want people to have fun and not just sit on their bums.

0:21:440:21:48

I hate sitting on my bums - why I do this show.

0:21:480:21:50

So, can we be Czech record holders?

0:21:500:21:53

As far as I'm concerned it should be fine. No problem.

0:21:530:21:57

Who else can we expect to see perform in Czech records today?

0:21:570:22:00

Well, we've got all kinds of stuff.

0:22:000:22:02

We're going to have dancing dogs, we'll have a dog trying to

0:22:020:22:06

catch as many Frisbees as it can in one minute.

0:22:060:22:08

Of course, we're going to have strong men that talk...

0:22:080:22:10

-IN DEEP VOICE:

-..like that

0:22:100:22:12

and we're going to have people try and eat as much food as possible.

0:22:120:22:15

There's all kinds of activities. The whole town square is alive.

0:22:150:22:18

It's buzzing with activity and all kinds of records.

0:22:180:22:22

And Hula Hoops.

0:22:220:22:24

-Right. Let's meet some real record-holders.

-Yeah!

0:22:240:22:27

This is really, really uncomfortable.

0:22:270:22:29

Coolest grandad ever!

0:22:320:22:33

-What's this guy up to?

-I think he's playing hangman by himself.

0:22:380:22:42

I think he might be breaking the record for amount of surveys

0:22:420:22:46

in one day.

0:22:460:22:47

-Oh, wow! Look at that!

-Hey, I wish I was that good-looking.

0:22:490:22:54

-He knocked that often about... what, 30 seconds?

-Yeah.

0:22:540:22:58

-He must be breaking the record for fastest cartoons.

-Aha!

0:22:580:23:02

Bang on, Ed.

0:23:020:23:03

This is Lubomir Vanek, the world's fastest caricaturist.

0:23:030:23:08

Aha! This is the world record-holder for the person

0:23:080:23:10

that's smashed the most bananas into their face.

0:23:100:23:13

No, Vic, that's clearly not the case.

0:23:130:23:16

It must be something to do with breaking records and bikes.

0:23:160:23:19

This is Martin Zehnal.

0:23:190:23:21

He holds the record for fastest 1km on this tiny bicycle.

0:23:210:23:26

HE LAUGHS

0:23:260:23:29

No.

0:23:300:23:31

Like this?

0:23:340:23:36

Ah!

0:23:360:23:38

It can't be done. It can't be done.

0:23:380:23:42

It can be done.

0:23:420:23:43

I'm glad Ed and Vic are making friends, because today,

0:23:430:23:46

they must find as many people as possible to fit inside their car.

0:23:460:23:50

The world record for fitting people inside a Mini was set in 2014 in the

0:23:500:23:55

UK and stands, or sits, at an amazing 27 people in a car built for four!

0:23:550:24:01

Ed and Vic might not get close today, but one of them

0:24:010:24:05

will walk away with a place in the history books.

0:24:050:24:07

Or at least the Czech Book of Records as this record has

0:24:070:24:10

-never been attempted here before.

-OK, everyone. We going to do this.

0:24:100:24:13

We're going to squash ourselves into the Mini

0:24:130:24:15

and we're going to beat the world record, are we, Martin?

0:24:150:24:17

Yeah, we can try.

0:24:170:24:19

He doesn't seem too sure but I am! Come on, everyone!

0:24:190:24:23

Go, team Victoria!

0:24:230:24:25

THEY CHEER

0:24:250:24:26

This is Jakob and his random collection of Czech people

0:24:260:24:29

that we're going to try and stuff in this Mini.

0:24:290:24:31

Jakob, what's our tactic going to be?

0:24:310:24:33

-Boys get on floor and girls on top.

-OK.

0:24:330:24:35

That's the gentlemanly thing to do, I think, isn't it?

0:24:350:24:38

Yeah, boys on the floor. Good idea. And lots of breathing in, yeah?

0:24:380:24:42

While Vic's team talks tactics, Ed is out of the way to stop him

0:24:420:24:46

from cheating. The crowd awaits. Three, two, one, go!

0:24:460:24:51

Come on, everyone. Let's get it. Let's get the biggest ones in first.

0:24:510:24:54

The biggest ones in first. Right. OK. You can do it.

0:24:540:24:57

Yeah! OK, big ones, big ones! Let's get the blokes in.

0:24:570:25:02

Yeah! Right, squash in, breathe in, breathe in.

0:25:020:25:05

Come on, guys.

0:25:050:25:07

We can do it, we can do it.

0:25:070:25:10

OK. Let's see who's next. Who's next?

0:25:100:25:13

Next ones in the front, next ones in the front.

0:25:130:25:16

# ..Me I fall in love with you every... #

0:25:160:25:19

Right.

0:25:190:25:20

Are you OK back there?

0:25:200:25:23

They're OK. Come on, everyone. Right.

0:25:230:25:26

I'm going in. OK. I'm going in. Argh!

0:25:260:25:32

TOOTS HORN

0:25:370:25:40

Yeah! Woohoo!

0:25:400:25:43

-Right, let's get out.

-Well done, Vic!

0:25:430:25:46

That was a bit of a squeeze,

0:25:460:25:47

but you managed to get 12 people into that wee car.

0:25:470:25:51

But can Team Ed cram in one more Czech mate than Vic?

0:25:510:25:55

Go! Right.

0:25:550:25:57

Boys on the floor, boys on the floor. There you go.

0:25:570:26:02

Boys on the floor. Boys on the floor. On the floor. On the floor!

0:26:020:26:06

Pile on in, pile on in. That's right, now small people.

0:26:090:26:13

Lots of small people.

0:26:130:26:15

I want small people, small, small.

0:26:150:26:17

Yes, you're small. Good, get in there.

0:26:170:26:19

Any more small people?

0:26:190:26:21

# ..I won't let these little things slip... #

0:26:210:26:24

You're quite small. Yeah, in you go.

0:26:240:26:27

Can you get in there? Oh, I've got to get this back.

0:26:270:26:31

I've got to get this back. OK. One in there, maybe?

0:26:310:26:35

Can you get in there?

0:26:350:26:37

Over there, over there, over there. One more, one more.

0:26:370:26:41

Come on, Rolling Stones girl, get in. This is ridiculous!

0:26:410:26:44

Oh, I've got to get the door shut, haven't I?

0:26:440:26:47

Oh!

0:26:470:26:48

TOOTS HORN

0:26:500:26:53

We must have done it. We must have done it.

0:26:530:26:56

Well done, guys!

0:26:560:26:58

OK, you can get out now.

0:26:580:27:00

It's time to find out our new Czech record-holder.

0:27:000:27:05

-TRANSLATION:

-Well done, Victoria.

0:27:050:27:07

You got 12 people in the mini. What a result!

0:27:070:27:09

But, ladies and gentlemen, shock, horror - we've got a winner.

0:27:090:27:13

With an incredible 13, it's our Ed. Well done, Ed! Congratulations!

0:27:130:27:18

There's your prize. Made out of solid cardboard. Enjoy.

0:27:180:27:23

By one person, Vic. One person. CZECH me out.

0:27:230:27:26
