If you want to see how I get on in an event

0:00:020:00:03

where it's not actually rude to spit, keep watching!

0:00:030:00:05

That was all right, wasn't it?

0:00:050:00:07

It's more than all right, Ed, cos it's time for the zaniest programme

0:00:070:00:10

on your telly-box!

0:00:100:00:12

Chris looks like a muppet...

0:00:120:00:14

Victoria dances like a puppet...

0:00:140:00:16

Dance for me! Dance!

0:00:160:00:18

..Johny rides an extreme train...

0:00:180:00:20

Surfin' the air, baby!

0:00:200:00:22

..and Iain ends up in pain.

0:00:220:00:24

# All over the place

0:00:270:00:29

# All over the place

0:00:290:00:31

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

0:00:320:00:35

# Me and my mates all over the place!

0:00:350:00:37

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

0:00:370:00:40

# Whatever we do is strange but true!

0:00:400:00:42

# All over the place

0:00:420:00:44

# All over the place

0:00:440:00:47

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

0:00:470:00:50

-# And it turns up...

-..all over the place! #

0:00:500:00:53

Denmark - Copenhagen!

0:00:550:00:57

Copenhagen was named the world's first ever bike city.

0:00:570:01:02

People in Denmark are WHEELIE into cycling...

0:01:020:01:05

..and enough to fill Wembley football stadium three times over!

0:01:110:01:15

But before Ed and Chris get a chance to practise some pedalling...

0:01:150:01:18

The All Over The Place rules dictate that we must pimp our bikes.

0:01:180:01:22

Very important that your bike has a light.

0:01:220:01:24

Mine's got ten.

0:01:240:01:25

Get a little peckish mid-ride....

0:01:250:01:27

we've got a banana holder, baby.

0:01:270:01:29

Your protein. They've got protein, right?

0:01:290:01:31

Everyone's going to hear me coming with this.

0:01:310:01:33

PFFRRT!

0:01:330:01:35

It was the last one they had in the shop.

0:01:350:01:37

Bean bag seat.

0:01:370:01:38

Now we're talking.

0:01:380:01:39

Your hair can get pretty windswept on a bike,

0:01:390:01:41

which is why it's important to have...

0:01:410:01:43

a hair gel dispenser.

0:01:430:01:45

You should also wear a helmet, so this is kind of pointless,

0:01:450:01:47

but I'm going to put it on anyway.

0:01:470:01:49

To keep it fly we've got some fluffy dice.

0:01:490:01:52

Die.

0:01:520:01:54

Wait till Chris sees this!

0:01:540:01:56

Ed, how did we not notice this?

0:01:560:01:58

What?!

0:01:580:01:59

This is like some weird, hybrid bike the like of which I've never seen!

0:01:590:02:03

It's got two seats, two sets of handlebars...

0:02:030:02:05

It's called a tandem.

0:02:050:02:06

-New on the market, are they?

-No.

0:02:060:02:09

If you thought this one was weird, Ed,

0:02:090:02:11

a tandem was made in the Netherlands

0:02:110:02:13

that 35 people could ride,

0:02:130:02:15

and was over eight times longer than yours!

0:02:150:02:18

I think you'll find this one enough of a handful, though...

0:02:180:02:21

CHRIS LAUGHS

0:02:210:02:22

Ooh, sorry! Oh...

0:02:220:02:24

Nearly lost my leg, there.

0:02:240:02:26

Hello, we're tourists.

0:02:260:02:27

I don't know if you spotted it.

0:02:270:02:29

No, they'd never have guessed(!)

0:02:290:02:31

Let's see how much speed we can get up on this. Come on!

0:02:310:02:34

Yeah, obviously not much, then.

0:02:340:02:36

PFFRRT!

0:02:360:02:37

Oh, look at that!

0:02:390:02:40

Tiny, dinky bike lights.

0:02:400:02:42

Oh... Oh, we just missed the green light.

0:02:420:02:45

-Hello!

-Hi!

0:02:450:02:47

Do you like our bike?

0:02:470:02:49

Oh, yeah, it's quite colourful.

0:02:490:02:51

Do you cycle a lot in Copenhagen?

0:02:510:02:53

Yeah, every day.

0:02:530:02:54

No waiting for buses, no angry bus drivers, and...

0:02:540:02:57

Just me and my bike.

0:02:570:02:59

PFFRRT!

0:03:000:03:02

Hey-hey!

0:03:020:03:03

If you added up the total distance

0:03:030:03:05

the people of Copenhagen cycle in just one day,

0:03:050:03:07

it would be the same as cycling 30 times around the earth!

0:03:070:03:11

Now that sounds...

0:03:110:03:13

TYREing!

0:03:130:03:14

Dismount!

0:03:140:03:16

Just gotta get it...

0:03:160:03:18

Oh, no!

0:03:180:03:19

Oh, that's what always winds me up about riding a bike -

0:03:190:03:22

stairs!

0:03:220:03:23

How are we going to get past the stairs?

0:03:230:03:25

Oh, it was all going so well!

0:03:250:03:26

It's a tandem, it's really heavy, we won't be able to lift it,

0:03:260:03:29

we'll have to go all the way round, it's going to take ages...

0:03:290:03:32

Oh, stairs, stairs!

0:03:320:03:34

Look at them just standing there, STAIRing at me in their STAIRy way.

0:03:340:03:38

I hate stairs!

0:03:380:03:39

As well as these ramps and special traffic lights,

0:03:390:03:42

cyclists in Copenhagen get fancy rails to lean on

0:03:420:03:45

while they're waiting at the lights.

0:03:450:03:47

Good for them, eh?

0:03:470:03:49

But the cyclists do have one problem here...

0:03:490:03:51

Kerb.

0:03:510:03:53

Ooh!

0:03:530:03:54

Wahey! Whoa...!

0:03:540:03:55

Well, we can't park here, mate.

0:03:550:03:57

This is the problem with riding a bike

0:03:570:03:59

in a city where everybody rides a bike. No spaces.

0:03:590:04:01

Anyone seen a parking space?

0:04:010:04:03

Got to say, guys, that tandem looks pretty silly.

0:04:030:04:05

Surely you could have picked a cooler model than that?

0:04:050:04:08

Hi, Vic.

0:04:090:04:10

I see you've copied me and got yourself a bike. Awkward.

0:04:100:04:13

Well, actually, it's a racer. Yeah!

0:04:130:04:16

It's got carbon forks and alloy frames, and it's super lightweight!

0:04:160:04:21

Look!

0:04:210:04:22

And it means it goes really, really fast.

0:04:220:04:25

But, I mean, I bet yours has got a lightweight frame, too. Yeah?

0:04:250:04:28

Well, it's got a light...and a frame.

0:04:280:04:30

CREAK

0:04:300:04:31

CLANG!

0:04:310:04:32

Well, this bike was built to cut smoothly through the air,

0:04:320:04:36

which means it goes really, really fast!

0:04:360:04:39

It was designed - get this -

0:04:390:04:41

in a wind tunnel!

0:04:410:04:43

Yours?

0:04:430:04:44

In a shed.

0:04:440:04:45

Oh... Lovely.

0:04:450:04:47

Well, I'll see you later, Ed!

0:04:470:04:48

Much later. Bye!

0:04:480:04:50

What's that?

0:04:550:04:56

That's not a racer.

0:04:560:04:57

No, it's a folding bike.

0:04:570:05:00

HE MOUTHS It's amazing!

0:05:000:05:02

I can cycle it wherever I like, and then just hop on the bus.

0:05:020:05:07

And because it comes everywhere with us,

0:05:070:05:09

I don't even need to worry about security.

0:05:090:05:12

Well, me neither.

0:05:120:05:13

No-one's stealing my bike!

0:05:130:05:14

I've got two locks.

0:05:140:05:17

Aah!

0:05:170:05:18

Oh, dear.

0:05:180:05:19

Well, bye!

0:05:190:05:21

BELL RINGS

0:05:210:05:23

Oh!

0:05:260:05:27

Hi, there!

0:05:270:05:29

Got myself a folder.

0:05:290:05:30

Where's yours?

0:05:300:05:31

Oh, I got rid of it.

0:05:310:05:33

I've been down in the dumps.

0:05:330:05:35

Oh, sorry to hear that.

0:05:350:05:36

No, I mean, I've literally been down in the dumps - and look what I found!

0:05:360:05:41

-That's my old bike!

-Yeah!

0:05:430:05:45

It's not used up any of the world's scarce resources -

0:05:450:05:48

it's carbon neutral!

0:05:480:05:50

And best of all, it was free - which is even better than fast!

0:05:500:05:55

Bye!

0:05:550:05:57

HORN HONKS

0:05:570:05:58

Free is better than fast?!

0:05:580:06:00

We'll see about that!

0:06:000:06:02

Argh!

0:06:020:06:04

Netherlands - Zaandam.

0:06:050:06:08

Dutch windmills used to prevent flooding

0:06:080:06:10

by pumping water from the land!

0:06:100:06:12

# Pump out the dam

0:06:260:06:28

0:06:500:06:51

# Because, you see

0:06:510:06:53

# Some of the Netherlands is lower than the sea

0:06:530:06:57

# Over 600 windmills across this plain

0:06:570:06:59

# Now only ten pairs of sails remain

0:06:590:07:01

# They're used for storing wood Grinding oil and spice

0:07:010:07:03

-# Shall we go and check some out?

-Yeah, that would be nice

0:07:030:07:05

# De Huisman's the windmill and warehouse combined

0:07:050:07:07

# And as I can smell it, spices it grinds

0:07:070:07:09

-# De Kat is a paint mill

-You serious?

0:07:090:07:10

# It grinds down the pigments from raw materials

0:07:100:07:12

# De Zoeker once helped drain this area

0:07:120:07:14

# The thought we're below sea level's pretty scary, yeah?

0:07:140:07:16

# An oil and a paint mill and cocoa too

0:07:160:07:18

# That's quite a lot - is there nothing they can't do?

0:07:180:07:20

# De Bonte Hen has a rotating cam

0:07:200:07:22

# A feature it shares with Het Jonge Schaap

0:07:220:07:24

Germany - Wuppertal

0:08:590:09:01

Germans tell the time differently from us -

0:09:010:09:04

we say half past the hour, they say half to the next hour!

0:09:040:09:08

Argh! Aarggh!

0:09:080:09:10

Ed, Ed, calm down! What's the matter?

0:09:100:09:13

Johny, when I woke up this morning,

0:09:130:09:14

I was definitely the right way round.

0:09:140:09:17

-Yeah.

-But look...

0:09:170:09:18

that train's upside down!

0:09:180:09:19

So, either that train is upside down, which is really weird,

0:09:190:09:22

or I'm upside down, which is even weirder!

0:09:220:09:24

It's the only plausible explanation!

0:09:240:09:26

Oh, settle down, Petrie!

0:09:260:09:29

It's meant to be this way up.

0:09:290:09:31

This dangly delight is the Wuppertal Schwebebahn suspension monorail.

0:09:310:09:35

It hangs from a single track above it,

0:09:370:09:39

and it uses electricity to make it move.

0:09:390:09:41

So, calm your fears - it's definitely NOT upside down!

0:09:420:09:46

-I'm still confused.

-Yeah, me too!

0:09:480:09:51

'What you need are some facts, then!'

0:09:510:09:54

'Ed and Johny, you have 45 seconds

0:09:540:09:56

'to find out as much as you can about the monorail!

0:09:560:09:59

'Ed, you've got Oliver,

0:09:590:10:01

'who knows all about the way the monorail was built and works.

0:10:010:10:05

'Johny, you've got Michael.

0:10:050:10:07

'who knows all about the history of the monorail.

0:10:070:10:10

'Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner!

0:10:100:10:14

'Drei, zwei, ein, go!'

0:10:140:10:17

What is the top speed of the monorail?

0:10:180:10:21

Oh, right! It's not that fast, then.

0:10:220:10:24

How old is the monorail?

0:10:240:10:25

Wow, that's amazing!

0:10:270:10:28

How many rivers does the monorail cross?

0:10:280:10:31

Just one? What a great name for a river! The River Wupper!

0:10:320:10:35

People must have been very scared of it initially.

0:10:350:10:38

Has anybody ever got married on the monorail?

0:10:390:10:41

Very often!

0:10:430:10:44

And now how do people feel about it?

0:10:440:10:45

How many people can fit on a train?

0:10:480:10:50

Wow, 200 people on one of those? That's quite good.

0:10:510:10:53

What makes it so special?

0:10:530:10:54

That sounds amazing! It's cool - I wish we had one in Sheffield!

0:10:590:11:02

-How many people use it in...?

-KLAXON

0:11:020:11:03

Ugh! I'll never find out how many people use it every day.

0:11:030:11:07

It's probably on the internet.

0:11:070:11:09

'Actually, I know.

0:11:090:11:11

'Around 85,000 people travel on the monorail every day.

0:11:110:11:15

'And the person that found out the most facts is...

0:11:150:11:19

'both of you!'

0:11:190:11:21

-Oh!

-Oh, OK!

0:11:210:11:22

'And your prize for coming first is a ride on the monorail!'

0:11:220:11:28

But we'd already bought our tickets!

0:11:280:11:30

Thanks for nothing, Voiceover Man.

0:11:300:11:32

'Honestly, there's just no pleasing some people!'

0:11:320:11:37

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure they'll cheer up when they realise

0:11:370:11:40

they're on the oldest working monorail in the world!

0:11:400:11:44

It needs 472 bridges and supports to keep it in the air,

0:11:440:11:48

which together weighs 19,200 tonnes...

0:11:480:11:52

-Extreme sky train!

-Surfin' the air, baby!

0:11:570:12:01

Ho, ho, those two are tuned to the moon!

0:12:010:12:03

But, it's not just people that have ridden on the monorail -

0:12:030:12:07

on the 21st of July 1950, something very strange happened

0:12:070:12:10

in one of these carriages.

0:12:100:12:13

Roll up, roll up! Come marvel at the famous travelling German circus,

0:12:140:12:19

here for one night only in Wuppertal. Amazing!

0:12:190:12:24

Excuse me, sir, is that your elephant?

0:12:240:12:27

It's in my seat.

0:12:270:12:28

Oh, terribly sorry.

0:12:280:12:29

Er, Tuffi, budge up for the gentleman, would you, please?

0:12:290:12:32

There's a good girl.

0:12:320:12:33

-ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

-Incredible!

0:12:330:12:35

Actually, what IS an elephant doing on here?

0:12:350:12:37

Well, Tuffi and I are performing tonight, for one night only -

0:12:370:12:40

tickets still available.

0:12:400:12:41

So, I thought it would be a good idea to put her on public transport

0:12:410:12:44

and ride her round the city to drum up a bit of interest!

0:12:440:12:46

Huzzah!

0:12:460:12:48

Why didn't you just put an ad in our local newspaper?

0:12:480:12:50

Poppycock!

0:12:500:12:52

When was the last time you saw an elephant on public transport?

0:12:520:12:55

People will be talking about this for years!

0:12:550:12:58

Incredible!

0:12:580:13:00

Actually, I've never seen an elephant on a suspension railway before -

0:13:000:13:04

it is pretty incredible.

0:13:040:13:06

Ah, yes, well - sorry, WHAT railway?

0:13:060:13:09

Suspension railway! We're on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn.

0:13:090:13:11

It's beautiful, isn't it? Look at that, down there!

0:13:110:13:13

-CAMERA CLICKS

-Ah...

0:13:130:13:15

Tuffi's not too good with heights.

0:13:150:13:17

I thought this was a normal train.

0:13:170:13:19

The carriages rock around a bit, as well...

0:13:190:13:21

Oh, don't worry about that,

0:13:210:13:22

it only swings a maximum of 15 degrees either side.

0:13:220:13:24

You'll be fine. Unless you're an elephant, of course!

0:13:240:13:27

HE CHUCKLES

0:13:270:13:28

TUFFI TRUMPETS

0:13:280:13:29

-Oh...

-Tuffi, don't smash up the furniture!

0:13:290:13:31

Oh, there goes my seat...

0:13:310:13:33

Be a good girl and I'll give you a peanut!

0:13:330:13:35

TUFFI TRUMPETS There goes the carriage door!

0:13:350:13:37

-Strong girl, isn't she?

-Oh, yes.

-TUFFI TRUMPETS

0:13:370:13:39

Tuffi, no!

0:13:390:13:41

SPLASH!

0:13:430:13:44

I've never seen anyone leap into the river like that before!

0:13:440:13:46

That was amazing!

0:13:460:13:48

-Huzzah!

-CAMERA CLICKS

0:13:480:13:50

Well, at least she packed her trunks.

0:13:500:13:52

Italy - Sicily.

0:14:010:14:03

Italians invented the thermometer, the piano, spectacles,

0:14:030:14:06

the espresso coffee machine... and loads more!

0:14:060:14:10

I just told them I want a bigger role,

0:14:100:14:12

as, clearly, I am the best performer. I'm less wooden than you.

0:14:120:14:16

Er, newsflash, Ed - you're MADE of wood!

0:14:160:14:19

Ugh.

0:14:190:14:20

Legend has it that a famous playwright in Japan

0:14:200:14:23

was fed up of his actors demanding bigger roles.

0:14:230:14:26

He said his plays would be acted better by wooden puppets.

0:14:260:14:30

Well, no-one's going to pull MY strings. I'm my own person.

0:14:300:14:34

Technically, you're just a puppet.

0:14:340:14:36

How dare you?!

0:14:360:14:38

Well, yeah, I suppose that is true.

0:14:380:14:40

Oi, you! I am TRYING to flounce off camera!

0:14:400:14:44

That's better.

0:14:440:14:45

This is the International Puppet Museum in Palermo,

0:15:010:15:04

which has one of the biggest collections of puppets

0:15:040:15:06

in the whole of Italy.

0:15:060:15:08

Over 200 years ago, puppet shows were all

0:15:080:15:11

the rage with grown-ups, not kids,

0:15:110:15:13

and there was one performed in

0:15:130:15:15

every neighbourhood in every town in Sicily.

0:15:150:15:17

My own fascination with puppets came through my husband.

0:15:170:15:24

He was very, very enthusiastic about puppets

0:15:240:15:28

since he was a very small boy,

0:15:280:15:29

and so we decided to make a collection.

0:15:290:15:34

So, people went to the theatre to see a puppet show,

0:15:340:15:37

maybe like how we watch TV today?

0:15:370:15:39

-Yes.

-Yeah...

-That's it, because there was no TV, there was nothing.

0:15:390:15:45

Then started to come TV and cheap cinema.

0:15:450:15:48

What's your favourite puppet out of all of these?

0:15:480:15:51

A good mother mustn't tell which are the favourite child!

0:15:510:15:54

THEY LAUGH

0:15:540:15:56

They're all listening, as well, aren't they?

0:15:560:15:58

Don't be silly, they can't hear you, Ed, you muppet -

0:15:580:16:00

they're puppets!

0:16:000:16:01

# Like a puppet on a string... #

0:16:010:16:04

There are only nine puppet theatres left in the whole of Sicily,

0:16:040:16:08

and luckily this is one of them.

0:16:080:16:10

Now kids, grown-ups and these two big kids get to watch.

0:16:100:16:13

Bonus!

0:16:130:16:15

These Sicilian puppet shows told well-known stories

0:16:150:16:18

about knights and princesses,

0:16:180:16:19

and usually involved some kind of battle or barney!

0:16:190:16:22

The puppet masters, the guys who pull the strings,

0:16:220:16:25

play all the characters

0:16:250:16:27

and do sound effects by stomping their special wooden shoes.

0:16:270:16:30

These Sicilian puppets are called marionettes.

0:16:320:16:35

And get this - they have a special name in Italian...

0:16:350:16:38

Pupo!

0:16:380:16:39

No, not the toilet kind...

0:16:390:16:41

It sounds ridiculously rude,

0:16:410:16:43

but actually comes from

0:16:430:16:44

the French and Latin word for doll.

0:16:440:16:46

And speaking of rude, it's Gameshow man!

0:16:460:16:49

Hello, and welcome to today's game show...

0:16:490:16:52

STREET ORGAN JANGLES

0:16:550:16:58

Stop it!

0:16:580:17:00

Let's meet today's puppets.

0:17:000:17:02

What is your name?

0:17:040:17:06

Hi, I'm Victoria!

0:17:060:17:07

What could you win today?

0:17:070:17:09

Well, you could win your very own puppet show!

0:17:090:17:13

So, what would it mean to you?

0:17:130:17:15

Well, it would mean so much to us,

0:17:150:17:16

-because we've had such a tough year, and...

-Yeah, all right.

0:17:160:17:19

Stop stringing out your part.

0:17:190:17:20

On to...

0:17:200:17:21

This is Orlando, and he's a traditional Sicilian pupo.

0:17:240:17:28

HE SNIGGERS

0:17:280:17:29

"Poop".

0:17:290:17:31

He's wearing armour, but he does have a weak spot -

0:17:310:17:34

is it A, his heel,

0:17:340:17:36

-or B, chocolate eclairs?

-Ooh...

0:17:360:17:39

Um...I think it might be his heel.

0:17:390:17:42

-Correct!

-Yeah!

-You're on your way.

0:17:420:17:45

Let's have a little practice, shall we?

0:17:450:17:47

Dance for me! Dance!

0:17:470:17:49

On to...

0:17:490:17:51

STREET ORGAN JANGLES

0:17:510:17:52

Ah! Shh!

0:17:520:17:53

Grr.

0:17:530:17:55

This is a puppet from Barcelona.

0:17:550:17:58

What's he made from?

0:17:580:18:01

Is it A, money,

0:18:010:18:03

or B, newspapers?

0:18:030:18:04

Ooh...I'm so dizzy from all that dancing,

0:18:040:18:08

I... C?

0:18:080:18:09

Ooh, dear. You can't even string an answer together, can you?

0:18:100:18:13

There was no option C!

0:18:130:18:15

The correct answer, obviously, was B -

0:18:150:18:18

but let's have a little practice anyway, shall we?

0:18:180:18:20

Ooh!

0:18:200:18:21

Dance! Dance to my invisible strings!

0:18:210:18:24

Ha, ha, ha!

0:18:240:18:25

STREET ORGAN JANGLES

0:18:250:18:26

Will somebody get that small Italian child out of here?!

0:18:260:18:30

This is Punch and Judy, the famous glove puppets.

0:18:300:18:33

What I want to know is, what was Punch originally called?

0:18:330:18:38

Was it A, Fruit Punch,

0:18:380:18:40

or B, Pulcinella?

0:18:400:18:42

OK, well, I don't really like fruit punch,

0:18:420:18:44

so I'm going to say Pulcinella!

0:18:440:18:46

Correct! Yes, yes, it is Pulcinella!

0:18:460:18:50

Punch was based on a character from Italian theatre,

0:18:500:18:53

his name was changed to Punchinello, then shortened to Punch

0:18:530:18:57

when Italian puppeteers arrived in the UK.

0:18:570:19:00

So, yes, I'm afraid you haven't got through,

0:19:000:19:02

and you won't be starring in your puppet show.

0:19:020:19:05

-What?!

-So, I'll say goodbye to my puppet on a string -

0:19:050:19:08

or should I say MUPPET on a string?

0:19:080:19:11

-How do you feel?

-Furious!

0:19:110:19:14

You've been stringing me along all this time?

0:19:140:19:16

Yes, yes, I have.

0:19:160:19:17

Well, I've got a surprise for you from a certain puppet friend of mine!

0:19:170:19:20

Ooh, who?

0:19:200:19:21

Ooh...

0:19:230:19:24

Punch?

0:19:240:19:25

Correct.

0:19:250:19:27

STREET ORGAN JANGLES

0:19:270:19:29

Spain - Cieza.

0:19:310:19:34

Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world!

0:19:340:19:38

# Ego alert, flawless

0:19:480:19:50

# Absolutely flawless... #

0:19:500:19:52

What you doing, Iain?

0:19:520:19:53

All right, Ed?

0:19:530:19:54

Just been inspired by the Commonwealth Games,

0:19:540:19:56

so I thought I'd create an event all of my own.

0:19:560:19:59

-# Absolutely flawless... #

-What, is this the warm-up?

0:19:590:20:01

No, this is the actual event.

0:20:010:20:04

-What is it? Posing?

-Correct.

0:20:040:20:07

I'm the best poser in...all of Europe.

0:20:070:20:10

I can pose better than that.

0:20:100:20:12

# So macho He's got to be... #

0:20:120:20:15

I could be a gold medallist.

0:20:150:20:16

I think you'd be fourth placed at best, mate.

0:20:160:20:18

You want more posing like this? Watch.

0:20:180:20:21

Now look at this posing.

0:20:210:20:22

Look at this posing.

0:20:220:20:23

Oh, break it up, you two, do you think anyone would want to

0:20:260:20:29

watch you showing off for hours?

0:20:290:20:31

You're here in Spanish olive country to compete in what could be

0:20:310:20:34

the next big Olympic sport!

0:20:340:20:36

What, olive-tree climbing?

0:20:360:20:40

Yeah, olive-oil drinking?

0:20:400:20:42

-Olive-seed spitting?

-Don't be ridiculous, nobody would do that!

0:20:420:20:47

Yes, they would!

0:20:470:20:49

-You're having a laugh, aren't you?

-NO!

0:20:490:20:52

This is the Cieza Olive Spitting Championship.

0:20:520:20:54

And, yes, they are trying to enter it as the next big Olympic sport.

0:20:540:20:58

Olives literally grow on trees round here, they're actually a fruit

0:20:580:21:02

and a member of the drupe family, like a peach or a plum.

0:21:020:21:05

I've got a feeling the only plums today will be Ed and Iain.

0:21:050:21:09

The local people love olives so much they decided to hold a competition

0:21:090:21:13

that crowns the man, woman or child that can spit the furthest distance

0:21:130:21:17

on the ground... the stones, that is.

0:21:170:21:19

This all sounds a bit odd. I think the boys should find an expert.

0:21:190:21:22

So, Jose, why did you start this event? Is it because you hate

0:21:220:21:25

olives so much that you spit them out?

0:21:250:21:27

-TRANSLATION:

-It isn't that we don't like olives. We like olives a lot.

0:21:280:21:32

We have a special variety of olive called Mollar de Cieza.

0:21:320:21:36

And there's a popular saying here that

0:21:360:21:38

when you've eaten the olive, you spit the stone onto the ground.

0:21:380:21:41

Mmmmm.

0:21:410:21:42

SPITTING SOUND

0:21:420:21:43

LAUGHTER

0:21:430:21:45

I heard you're trying to make this an Olympic event.

0:21:450:21:47

How do I go about creating an Olympic sport?

0:21:470:21:50

Well, we went to the Beijing Olympics to speak to the Committee.

0:21:520:21:55

They replied and said we need an international federation.

0:21:550:21:58

And we don't have one, so I think we'll have to wait a long time

0:21:580:22:01

to see it as an Olympic sport!

0:22:010:22:04

Well, you never know, maybe somebody from the Olympic Committee is

0:22:040:22:07

watching now and they're going to see what a great sport this is.

0:22:070:22:10

Not your posing!

0:22:100:22:11

I'm going to set up an International Federation Of Posing, actually.

0:22:110:22:14

And I've still got no idea what's happening with this competition.

0:22:140:22:17

-Did you just spit on me?

-Sorry, mate, I'm just practising.

0:22:170:22:21

-You don't even like olives.

-They're disgusting.

0:22:230:22:26

You two are so childish!

0:22:270:22:29

But you're too old to compete at the Junior Seed Spitting World Cup.

0:22:290:22:34

100 children take part in this event and it must be the only day

0:22:340:22:38

of the year their mums and dads actually cheer them on for spitting.

0:22:380:22:42

So, do your parents not tell you off for spitting?

0:22:420:22:47

-TRANSLATION:

-No, I just take part in the game to participate

0:22:470:22:50

and have fun.

0:22:500:22:52

-They love it, don't they?

-Love a bit of spitting here.

0:22:520:22:54

I tell you what, my mum, if she came here,

0:22:540:22:56

a lot of people would be getting told off!

0:22:560:22:59

-Oi! Stop spitting.

-Stop that, it's dirty!

0:22:590:23:02

Grow up, you two,

0:23:020:23:03

it's time to get some tips from the World Champion, Pedro.

0:23:030:23:07

# I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man... #

0:23:070:23:09

I can't believe that I'm standing next to the current World

0:23:090:23:12

-Champion Olive Stone Spitter.

-I am stone struck, quite literally.

0:23:120:23:16

And he's got the world record. How far did you spit it?

0:23:160:23:18

-TRANSLATION:

-21 metres 43 centimetres.

0:23:180:23:21

That is far. And what's your technique?

0:23:210:23:23

How do we spit far as well?

0:23:230:23:25

-You need 50% technique and 50% luck.

-Right, so...

0:23:250:23:29

I think it's just going to be luck here really, isn't it?

0:23:290:23:32

I just don't want to eat olives!

0:23:320:23:34

So that's 50% technique, boys. First put the stone between your teeth.

0:23:340:23:39

After munching some olive, arch your back and...spit.

0:23:390:23:44

It's a simple sport really but with some complicated rules.

0:23:440:23:47

Listen carefully.

0:23:470:23:49

# Olive the place Olive the place... #

0:23:490:23:53

Olive spitting can only be performed with the mouth. No other tools,

0:23:530:23:57

such as straws, will be allowed.

0:23:570:24:00

If the olive stone drops on a spectator or passer-by, the

0:24:000:24:05

spitting will be declared invalid.

0:24:050:24:08

If a participant breaks the World Record, he or she will be declared

0:24:080:24:12

a Venerated Knight Of The Fellowship Of The Olive Spitting Knights.

0:24:120:24:17

Those participants using false teeth are recommended to fix them well into

0:24:170:24:21

place in order to prevent accidents.

0:24:210:24:24

Happy spitting.

0:24:270:24:29

While they fix their false teeth, let's take a

0:24:290:24:31

look at the pros.

0:24:310:24:33

Remember, the current World Record stands at a spitting,

0:24:330:24:35

sorry, spiffing, 21 metres and 43 centimetres.

0:24:350:24:39

That's like 12 Leo Messis lying down!

0:24:390:24:42

Let's see how Pedro gets on this year - can he beat the World Record?

0:24:420:24:47

-Here we go, Iain, World Champion.

-Here we go.

0:24:470:24:50

Was that good? How many?

0:24:550:24:59

He only got 13 metres, I could do 13 metres easy.

0:24:590:25:03

Rubbish, mate, rubbish.

0:25:030:25:04

Ed and Iain better be careful.

0:25:040:25:06

If they step over the line or don't spit far enough,

0:25:060:25:08

they'll get a red flag and the split won't count.

0:25:080:25:11

They will each get two attempts to break the World Record

0:25:110:25:13

of 21 metres and 43 centimetres.

0:25:130:25:17

First up, Team Iain.

0:25:170:25:19

He looks pretty confident

0:25:210:25:22

and he seems to have brought his fan club along.

0:25:220:25:25

Time to stop stalling and start spitting.

0:25:280:25:31

The spit looked good but it's a red flag for Iain.

0:25:390:25:42

Turns out his big foot was over the line so that one won't count.

0:25:440:25:47

Next up, Team Ed.

0:25:510:25:54

Viva Espana!

0:25:570:25:58

Viva Espana!

0:26:000:26:01

Come on, Ed, don't be gobby, just spit it out.

0:26:010:26:04

No pressure, mate, no pressure.

0:26:070:26:09

No, pal.

0:26:100:26:11

What? That was all right, wasn't it?

0:26:170:26:19

Good shot but his big feet get in the way too. It's a foul.

0:26:220:26:26

Iain's first was a foul. It all comes down to his second spit.

0:26:260:26:30

Oooh! An epic spit from Iain and no red flag.

0:26:400:26:44

Ed's up next.

0:26:440:26:45

It all hangs on spit number two.

0:26:480:26:50

These olives really are delicious.

0:26:500:26:53

Ed's milking it, must be confident.

0:26:530:26:55

The spit looks solid.

0:26:590:27:00

Oh, let's see that again.

0:27:000:27:02

Right to the edge of the screen

0:27:020:27:03

but is it enough to beat spitty Stirling?

0:27:030:27:06

So, after two attempts, the judges are happy.

0:27:060:27:09

The distance is measured. The results are in.

0:27:110:27:14

Ed's first attempt was a foul but on his second attempt, his

0:27:140:27:18

spit measured an impressive seven metres and 40 centimetres.

0:27:180:27:21

Iain also fouled on his first spit

0:27:230:27:24

but on his second attempt he blew away the competition with

0:27:240:27:27

a gold-medal distance of seven metres and 84 centimetres.

0:27:270:27:32

No!

0:27:320:27:33

Yeah!

0:27:330:27:34

-Oh, stone me!

-Oh, I'm...I'm speechless.

0:27:340:27:38

Go on, spit it out.

0:27:380:27:40

I don't even like olives!
