Stuffed Dogs, Cave Art and Boat Slides All Over the Place

Strap yourself in for another romp around Europe with your CBBC mates.

On today's show, Ed has to spell his own name out loud.

If something goes wrong, it's going to be really embarrassing.

Victoria is LION around.

Johnny has a bad hair day.

Ben has even more of a bad hair day.

Chris bangs out the tunes.

Naomi has her annual bath.

And Hacker and Dodge reveal why they'll never work with humans again.

All they do is lick their own bottoms and leave hair everywhere.

# All over the place

# All over the place

# North, south, east, west On a bizarre quest

# Me and my mates all over the place

# It's true what you've heard everything is absurd

# Whatever we do is strange but true!

# All over the place

# All over the place

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

-# And it turns up...

-# ..all over the place! #

Ed, I'm worried about this one. I know nothing about science.

We are filming at the Garden Of Experiences, which is

-full of experiments. I mean, what am I going to do?

-Tell me about it.

The director wants us to learn this script about science stuff.

I mean, Newton's cradle. What is that? Is it a bed? Who is Newton?

Why is he leaving his bed outside?

Maybe if we pull a sickie, we can get away with it.

-They'll never know.

-That's a good idea.

-HE COUGHS

-Oh, I'm feeling a bit ill.

Oh, I can't be up to much.

Oi, you two! I can hear you.

Your sound waves are being reflected back this way from that dish

you're standing beside.

I told you I know nothing about science. Oh!

Oh!

Well, Chris, this is the ideal place to start learning about all

things scientific.

It's called the Garden Of Experiences,

and it's got 62 of these oversized experiments scattered about.

They are the sort of thing that

boffins like Professor Brian Cox would love to play with.

'I'm Professor Brian Cox.

'And I'm here to show you the wonders

'of the Garden Of Experiences.'

I'm the best scientist in the world.

And I'm the best person in the world to talk to you about everything.

-HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

-Who are you?

This is my show.

I have millions and billions and trillions of viewers.

-Hello, viewers.

-Who am I? Kind of a big deal, actually.

I'm Copernicus, the famous Polish astronomer.

I'm the one who discovered that the earth rotates around the sun

and not the other way around.

And you have the nerve to ask me who I am.

Do you have lovely, lovely teeth?

I lived in the 16th century, it is a wonder I have any teeth left at all.

'First up is this amazing, shiny, shapey thing.'

This is a wind machine for my beautiful hair.

This is an air cannon.

It pushes air out of a small hole at the other

end in the form of a ring - or a Krakow pretzel.

Dolphins use similar rings to communicate underwater.

Like thus.

Oh!

'Next up, clacking chrome balls.'

This is a desktop toy for giants.

It's Newton's cradle.

These balls are following the law of conservation of energy and momentum.

However much energy you put into one side, it will be

matched at the other.

Toys for giants.

'Finally, sticky uppy slabs.'

These are shelves for storing things on the ground.

This is a rock xylophone. It was one of the first musical instruments.

It makes a different musical sound, depending on where you hit it.

-Listen, see, that's what it's for!

-HE GRUNTS

I'm only a scientist in my spare time.

I'm actually a pop star.

I was running a bakery at the same time

-I discovered the earth rotates once a day.

-I was on Top Of The Pops.

I painted my own self-portrait! I predicted the future!

I discover that the earth revolves around the sun once a year!

I think you'll actually find the earth revolves around me,

-Copernicus.

-No, this is ridiculous!

I can't do this, it is a waste of time.

Somebody show me a way back to the past.

HE WEEPS

Amazing.

I like these planets spaced throughout the park. I love planets.

Moons, asteroids. My favourite asteroid is 3836 Lem.

-Oh, I love it.

-What?

-3836 Lem.

It is the asteroid that's named after the same guy this

garden is named after. Stanislaw Lem.

-He was a sci-fi writer from Poland.

-Oh, what did he write?

-Sci-fi.

Ten years stuck on a space station.

I'm so bored!

Hacks, why don't you read a book to take your mind off of it?

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. What's that about, then?

It is about two poor wretches stuck on a space station.

CRASH

But then a third character arrives.

DOOR BELL

Well, then... Who could that be?

-Oh, well. Maybe it is a monkey.

-No way!

-Yes way.

One of the first animals in space was a monkey named Albert.

Let's leave him out there, then.

I don't want some pesky primate pinching my secret stash of bananas.

-You've got a secret stash of bananas?

-No, no, no.

-Who else could it be?

-Mmm Oh!

-Maybe a cat.

-Are you pulling my tail?

-No, for realsies.

In 1963, French scientists launched Felix the cat into space.

And get this, he landed back on Earth by parachute.

Well, I actually speak cat. I'll just check it out.

-Meow.

-HE HISSES

No, it is defo-nil a cat.

DOOR BELL

Well, if it is not a cat, and it is not a monkey, then... Oh!

-It must be a dog.

-A dog?! Ha!

A dog in space? Imagine that.

HE LAUGHS

-What?

-Ah!

Look, the Soviet Union sent at least 12 dogs into space,

all strays, because they could handle the cold better.

DOOR BELL RINGS TWICE

Oh, we don't want a dog!

All they do is lick their own bottoms and leave hair everywhere.

-DODGER SLURPS

-Dodger! Oi!

-Huh?

Your breath, sir.

DOOR BELL

Look, let's just pretend we are not in.

We are not in!

DOOR SLIDES OPEN

Oh, no, maybe it is going to be some sort of mutant

cat, dog, monkey alien.

THEY WHIMPER

-Anyone order a double pepperoni?

-BOTH:

-We don't like pepperoni!

Oh, Dodge, we forgot. The one species that travels everywhere.

Pizza delivery boy. Sorry, mate, try the next galaxy down!

-The one with the porch.

-Oh, all right, cheers.

-Pfff! You could do with a mint, actually.

-How rude.

-Ed! What are you doing?

-I'm practising dog whispering, Vic.

Dog whaty-ing?

-It is a technique for communicating with dogs.

-Ah.

It is all in the body language.

You have to keep eye contact without staring.

Oh! I'll be honest with you, Ed, you're freaking me out!

Shhh! Then I have to maintain a strong stance

-to show you who is boss.

-OK.

-Then I shall be leader of the pack.

-Ah! Right. Are you ready?

(At least you won't have any trouble getting them to stay.)

Jan, I hate to break the bad news,

but I don't think any of these dogs are breathing.

-TRANSLATION:

-Yes, you are right, they are dead. They are stuffed.

The collection was made roughly 70 years ago.

Hey, Jan, I've got some gloves here.

If we put them on, can we stroke the dog?

-TRANSLATION:

-You can touch them with gloves, but only gently.

We have 49 of them, and it is the biggest collection in the world.

It is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. We are very proud of it.

Ja!

Why have you got so many dogs?

The collection was established during the life of the last

owner of the castle, George Haas.

He was a great lover of animals, especially dogs.

And he stuffed his favourite ones.

I bet no-one would break in here with 200 dogs and a lion.

-Sorry, did you say lion?

-Yeah.

Baron George Haas lived at Castle Bitov

from 1921 to 1945,

where he created one of the biggest private zoos in Europe.

The public enjoyed his exotic animals, birds and even a lioness.

George called his lioness Minnie

and, oddly, let her eat meals at the dinner table.

He also had over 200 dogs.

He spoiled them with delicious meals made in a special kitchen

in the castle.

He buried many of his beloved animals in special pet cemeteries

so he could remember them.

Baron George Haas really was the Dr Doolittle dog whisperer of his day.

And now we are really going to the dogs.

Welcome to Handle My Hounds!

You've got to stroke a number of these incredible stuffed dogs

and tell me the breed. No peeking!

Now, this is Calisto. What type of breed is that, Victoria?

Ooh, is he a Burmese mountain dog?

Oh, incorrect. No, he's a Great Dane.

One of six Great Danes that once guarded the Castle Bitov.

Great Danes make great guard dogs

-because they're Danish.

-Whoa, really?

No, it's because they're massive. Idiot.

This lovable chap's called Bombell.

-Ooh...

-Have a good touch of that.

-Is it a...cockerpoo?

No. I'm afraid it's a trick question.

No-one knows the breed of this dog.

That's not very fair.

-Is this fair?

-HE GROWLS

It's a whopper called Barry.

Is it a little Chihuahua?

No! It's a St Bernard.

Traditionally, they lived in the mountains.

Well, that's it, you've lost. But don't worry.

You have won a bonus prize.

-Brilliant!

-It's this dog brush, cos your hair is a state.

Goodbye!

Oh, look at these beautiful, big, brutalist buildings in Belgrade, Ed.

I love them.

-Bit harsh, Johny. Someone lives in one of them.

-No, no, brutal.

It's French. Beton brut, meaning raw concrete.

Oh, right. Very interesting.

Still doesn't explain why we're dressed as 1980s pop stars

on one of the hottest days of the year.

Yeah. That is pretty brutal.

# Buildings are made of these

# Concrete, glass, brick and steel

# Architectural expertise

# Brutalism

# What's the appeal?

# Repeated modular features

# Form specific functional zones

# Distinctly articulated

# Grouped together in a unified form

# Oo-oo-oo-ooh!

# The Western City Gate

# Welcomes travellers to the city

# Two connected concrete towers

# Not what you'd call traditionally pretty

# Second tallest building in Belgrade

# Deserted restaurant at the top

# Imagine eating your sandwich

# With a 140m drop

# Oo-oo-oo-ooh!

# Brutalism! Modular

# Brutalism! Angular

# Brutalism! Spectacular

# Brutal!

# See the Avala Tower

# The highest structure in Belgrade

# Was bombed in the 1990s

# But in 2010 it was remade

# Or what about the Sava Centar?

# A multifunctional architectural treat

# A huge amount of floor space

# And a theatre with 4,000 seats

# Oo-oo-oo-ooh!

# These residential skyscrapers

# Known as Blocks 61 and 2

# Designed to make the most of their spaces

# I'd have come up with a more catchy name though

# Wouldn't you?

# Oo-oo-oo-ooh!

# Brutalism! Functional

# Brutalism! Original

# Brutalism! Exceptional

# Brutal!

# Buildings are made of these

# Concrete, glass, brick and steel

# Travel the world I think you'll agree

# Brutalism is the real deal. #

Caveman Ed, what are you drawing there?

Oh, this old thing?

TRUMPETING

-Mammoth!

-Yes, yes, it is.

I think I've got the likeness, but I'm having trouble with the emotion.

They're quite hard to draw

because they've been extinct in France for, like, 10,000 years.

-Woolly mammoth!

-Er, well, no.

Actually this is the non-woolly variety.

-TRUMPETING

-Anyone got any peanuts?

Argh!

Forget those jokers.

The real cavemen lived here,

the Chauvet caves, around 36,000 years ago.

They decorated their walls with amazing animal art,

some of the oldest and largest in the world.

The cave art is so precious,

the original cave was closed to the public, but instead of forgetting

all about it, they decided to build an exact copy just up the road.

Handy for cave art lovers across the world.

Ed and Ben, you have 42 seconds to find out

as much as you can about the Chauvet caves!

Ed, you have Romain, who knows all about the old caves.

Ben, you have Sophie, who knows all about the new caves.

Trois, deux, un - allez!

-Sophie, how old is this place?

-36,000 years old.

-But THIS place?

-Oh, this place?

-Yeah.

-Four months.

Where is the old cave?

Well, see just behind the small mountain right here.

Who built it?

Erm, architects from Fabre et Speller and the region

and departement decided to build it.

Are the paintings any good?

Yes. Yes, they are.

Is it exactly the same as the real cave?

-Yes, exactly.

-Wow.

-Exactly the same. But a little bit smaller.

What were they painted with?

-There is two materials, basically.

-What are they? Quickly!

-Charcoal and there is also ochre.

-Right.

Why did you build it?

-To make it accessible for everyone.

-BUZZER

Oh, that's the time! Put it there, Sophie.

And the winner is...

-..Ben!

-Yes, come on!

What?

Now you can both learn to be proper cavemen.

-How?

-By playing cave bingo, of course.

-Ah, ha-ha!

I love cave bingo, whatever that is.

Last one to finish is a smelly Neanderthal!

I'll tell you what - this place is perfect for cave bingo.

The artwork in the original Chauvet caves contains 435 images

of animals, so you shouldn't have a problem finding a few in here.

Just cross off the ancient animal art as you go.

Rhinos. Loads of rhinos. Look at that!

There used to be rhinos in France.

Oh, how's about that one, then, Ed? It's an owl!

-I saw that first.

-No, you didn't.

Panther! I found a panther.

Oh, no, that's no panther.

You're a cheetah. That's just dots on a wall.

I saw the bear!

-Aurochs.

-Aurochs.

-I can pronounce it, so I saw it.

Mammoth! Got a mammoth. That's the last one, mammoth. I got them all!

-What a mammoth achievement from Ed Petrie here in the caves.

-All right.

Tusk you to find it. But don't milk it, Ed.

Well, Ben. Looks like the best caveman won.

Yeah, whatevs, you big show-off.

Anyway, I've just spotted someone who knows more

about the ancient French cavemen than you could shake a big spear at.

Oh, no. It's not Grisly Boils, is it?

He's the worst TV survivalist ever.

Hi, I'm Grisly Boils, the survival expert you call

when you can't afford Bear Grylls.

And I'm very close to the Chauvet caves where over 30,000 years ago,

the Aurignacians - Europe's first modern humans - would take shelter.

Yes, in fact, some of us still do,

so if you could keep it down.

I'm trying to watch Keeping Up Avec The Kardashians, mm-hm.

-You're a caveman with a smartphone?

-Mais, oui.

Experts believe there are more people dwelling in caves now

than at any point in history.

13 million in China alone, so if you could just...

S'il vous plait.

The Aurignacians were hunter gatherers and they used spears

like this to kill horses, bison and even woolly mammoth,

meaning every day, they had to be brave

and ingenious to find their food.

Ah, bonjour. Can I get the 18-inch super-deluxe Hawaiian pizza please?

Ah! Nice selfie stick, bro.

Er, do you do chips? Yes? Extra large. Do you do larger?

Extra extra large.

That's good. Mm-hm.

And the Aurignacians were the first known creators

of musical instruments.

Flutes like this were fashioned from bird bone

and could be 40,000 years old.

HE BLOWS AIR

Old school.

Of course, we've come a long way since then.

DANCE MUSIC THROUGH HEADPHONES

Make some noise! Come on! Whoo, whoo, whoo!

Have we still got that spear?

But why has man proved so successful in surviving?

Some say it's because he got up off all fours

so he could see clearly and had two hands free to get creative with.

Urgh...

Oh, dear.

Well, let me get this straight.

-We have to get into some fancily dressed-up boats?

-I believe so.

And we slide down a ramp into this harbour?

-Using only the power of gravity.

-And then as soon as we're in the water,

we have to try and find a bell and ring it?

In a nutshell, yes.

Don't be ridiculous. Like that's a real event!

What's that over there, then?

-Oh, it's a ramp that goes into this harbour.

-Oh, look!

And there's a bell.

We'd better find some boats so we can get a good old soaking!

I've really got to stop agreeing to come abroad with him.

Too late, Naomi, because today you're going to be doing this.

It's the Ta Sjansen, also known as the Take A Chance Boat Slide

and this is the 17th time it's taken place in the harbour at Arendal.

The event is named after an old Norwegian TV show,

which has inspired this craze all over Norway.

Around 4,000 people come to Arendal to watch the teams

slide down this ramp on a specially built boat.

Once they're at the bottom, they have to make their way to this bell.

The winner is the team that rings it in the fastest time.

If your team isn't the fastest, there are still other prizes to win,

like the Best In Show award for best-dressed boat.

So come on, you two! Get yourselves on board a team.

Excuse me, pirates, could you stop fighting for two seconds?

-Could I take part in your team, please?

-No!

-Oh.

-Is this your boat?

-Yeah.

-Can I join your team?

-No.

-Are you confident this isn't going to completely tip over?

-Ah, no.

It's a perfect pirate ship. It floats like a dream.

Is this a normal thing to do in Norway of an evening?

Oh, yes. Everybody's a pirate in Norway.

-We pirate every weekend, mate.

-Are you winding me up?

-Ahoy, there. Is this your boat?

-Yes.

-Can I join your team?

-No.

Excuse me, is this your pizza box boat?

-Yes.

-Can I join your team?

-No, sorry.

Just trying to guess the theme of your boat.

-Er, is it chocolate bars?

-No.

-Doughnuts?

-No.

-Cake?

-No.

-What is it?

-Ice cream!

-Oh! Of course. Can I join your team?

-No.

-Is this your boat?

-Yeah.

Have you got space for another one?

-Maybe.

-He said maybe! I don't think he means it.

-Can I join your team?

-Yeah.

-I can join your team?

-Yes.

-Oh, brilliant!

-Awesome. What is the theme of your team?

-We are a construction shop.

Oh, and you've got hammers as well. Oh, brilliant.

-So have you taken part in this before?

-Yeah, seven years now.

-Have you ever won anything?

-Er, yeah, five times.

You've won five times? Oh, I've lucked out here!

-You are now part of Team Ed.

-Thank you.

-Can I hit you with a hammer?

-Yeah, sure.

So that's Ed got a boat.

Oh, and he's already taking over and doing some DIY to it.

But where's Naomi?

She needs a team or she's sunk before this event even starts.

-Well, hello, ladies! You look lovely. Is this your boat?

-Yes.

-Any chance I might be able to join your team?

-Yeah, of course.

-Yes!

Well, this is an amazing boat. Why has it got shoeboxes on it?

It's because we represent a shoe shop.

Oh, OK.

And it was from 1914 and that's why your costumes are old-fashioned.

Well, we haven't got long, have we, before race time?

I'd better go and get into costume. See you in a minute.

Looks a bit higher when you get up here. Look down there!

And that bell's quite far out as well.

The water's quite cold, apparently. 15 degrees.

Look at all these people. Hello!

Oh, if something goes wrong, it's going to be really embarrassing.

I'm going to go down in Norwegian legend.

THEY ROAR

Is this safe?

Team Naomi to win!

Come on the shoes!

Oh, confident are we?

Well, let's see if you're still feeling that way

after you've watched a few boats take the slide.

Flag's gone up...

I've got a bad feeling about this one.

-SCREAMING

-Did you hear them screaming inside?

-Oh!

-Oh, she just shot out of the front.

-OK.

-That was good, actually. The whole thing has sunk now.

Even with a bashed-up boat,

our cat still made it to the bell in 14 seconds.

She probably wanted out of that cold water pronto.

How badly do you now want to go in there right now?

Because of the cold? Like, 10, 11.

There's the cold, there's the ramp...

It really looks like it makes your stomach go.

-Everyone screams as they go down.

-Yeah.

Oh, the pirates are having that sinking feeling.

-The pirates didn't do very well, did they?

-No, they just sank.

The pirates paddle in at 22 seconds,

so, Naomi, you've got to beat our kittycat's 14 seconds to slide ahead.

No, I don't want to play any more.

Can I go home?

There's no backing out now, Naomi.

There's 4,000 people ready to watch you take the plunge.

SHE SCREAMS

Well done, Team Naomi!

They reached the bell in 12 seconds, the best time so far.

Beat that, Ed Petrie. Ha-ha!

But can he? That was a stylish slide by the shoe shop boat,

a graceful dive, a speedy swim.

Team Naomi really put on great shoe... I mean, show.

And before Team Ed takes to the ramp, other boats hit the water.

The ice cream team makes the bell in 14 seconds.

A local hen party does it in 18 seconds.

And the pizza gets delivered in 13 seconds.

Team Naomi has done brilliantly so far,

but Team Ed's DIY-themed boat is still to go.

Can he hammer home a victory?

I think the crowd want blood. I feel sick.

Oh, I really don't want to do this.

HE SCREAMS

Just over six seconds! That's incredible!

And the crowd go wild for Team Ed!

We've got to see that again.

Ed's team-mates gave him a massive push.

He glides across the water, a dive for the bell,

and Team Ed have nailed it!

So we know Ed has beaten Naomi.

But with plenty other boats taking part today,

is there a chance that Team Ed might actually be the fastest boat of all?

The winner with the best time...

Team Ed!

But Team Naomi isn't going away empty-handed.

They walk away with the prize for the best-dressed boat.

-It's us? Is it us? Oh, I won Best In Show!

-Best In Show!

Oh, I won't be empty-handed after all.

Naomi won Best In Show, like a dog. Isn't that nice?

SHE LAUGHS

-And the winner of the All Over The Place trophy is Ed.

-Ah, well done.

-Thank you.

-Super fast.

-Well, it was!

-It was 6.4 seconds which was very close to the record.

-No way!

So are you going to come back next year and try and beat it, are you?

-SHIVERING:

-N-n-n-n-norway.

You've been watching All Over The Place Europe!
