0:00:02 > 0:00:03I'm not having a bath, I mean a laugh.

0:00:03 > 0:00:06If you want to see Johny and I soaking up the atmosphere,

0:00:06 > 0:00:07then keep watching.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09I've got a water balloon with Johny Pitts' name on it.

0:00:09 > 0:00:12Don't worry, Johny, Ed's aim is terrible!

0:00:12 > 0:00:15But we're on target all around Europe today!

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Chris goes bonkers on the beach...

0:00:19 > 0:00:20Naomi is hashtag sad face...

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Michelle throws some shapes...

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Iain loo-ses it...

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Victoria gets glammed up...

0:00:29 > 0:00:31And is Johny really ready for bath time?

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Of course I'm ready. Whoo-hoo!

0:00:36 > 0:00:38# All over the place

0:00:38 > 0:00:39# All over the place

0:00:41 > 0:00:45North, South, East, West, all of us are on a quest.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Me and my mates all over the place.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Whatever we do is strange, but true.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53# All over the place

0:00:54 > 0:00:55# All over the place

0:00:57 > 0:01:00There's stuff to do in Europe that is totally ace.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01And it turns up all over the place.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Italy, Venice.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Venice is sinking by two millimetres a year!

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Ah!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Ah!

0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Cut it out, Michelle, I know it's you.- I'm not Michelle.- Victoria?

0:01:44 > 0:01:48- I'm not Victoria.- Iain? - Cheers, Ed.- It's you.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Why do you keep running away? I'm trying to show you my lovely mask.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Oh.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55C'mon, Ed, you're in Venice,

0:01:55 > 0:01:59and folk have been wearing masks here for centuries.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Venetians use them to hide their identity so that the aristocracy

0:02:03 > 0:02:05and commoners could mix freely at parties.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10Maybe it was so no-one would know who'd eaten all the sausage rolls!

0:02:10 > 0:02:12This one looks like you.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Well, I suppose it's a bit like my mask, isn't it?

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- No, I meant without the mask. - Oh, ha, ha, ha.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Ed?

0:02:21 > 0:02:24This is how I feel every time you tell me a joke.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Believe it or not, about 700 years ago,

0:02:28 > 0:02:32doctors wore this scary-looking mask!

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Hello, children, don't be scared.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36I'm the doctor, I'm here to help you.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39The long nose was stuffed full of nice-smelling herbs.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42They thought this protected them when visiting patients

0:02:42 > 0:02:45with a horrible disease called The Plague.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47And it masked the smell.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50When did people first start wearing masks in Venice?

0:02:50 > 0:02:54- During the 12th and 13th century. - Wow, so a really long time.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Why did they wear them? - Nobody knows who you are.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00You're just anonymous. You can have an adventure.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Venetian masks were actually made out of paper!

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Layers of paper stuck together called papier-mache.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11It was shaped round a plaster mould till it was dry, then cut,

0:03:11 > 0:03:13smoothed off and painted!

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Sounds easy? Keep watching.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- So, might we be able to have a go at making one?- Of course.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23And now on AOTP TV, it's Ed And Naomi Make Something.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26This week, it's Venetian masks.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30It's just so easy to make your own Venetian mask, isn't it, Ed?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33- It is, it's very easy.- I'm going to go for greens.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34What are you going to choose, Ed?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Erm, I'm going to use some burgundy.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39You can never have enough brushes.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Of course, this is water-based paint.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45- So, let's put some water in it. - No!

0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Don't put water in.- Oh, whoops!

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Don't put water in.- Don't put water in, it's very important.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Just remember, you can never have enough brushes.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- Just do that.- Super easy.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Super easy.- It's super easy.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Just remember, you really can never have enough brushes.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07I'm going to be using the double-handed approach to save time.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- It's so easy.- I can't seem to find the right brush.- Oh, hang on.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Thanks, Ed.- Let me know if you need more brushes.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25And there you have it. Two beautifully decorated masks.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30- It's so easy.- So easy. - Didn't you use green earlier?- No.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well, that was interesting.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39And with such a selection of masks to choose from, it's hard to know

0:04:39 > 0:04:42how to pick the right mask for the right occasion.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Buona sera, sorry I'm late, the canals were murder.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Ed, where's your mask? I told you, this is a masked ball.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- I thought you said bring a masked ball.- Why would I say that?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Well, I did wonder. Don't worry, there's a uniform shop next door.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02I'll be back in two secs.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Wow, the silence in here is amazing. Right, where's the punch?

0:05:07 > 0:05:10You can't wear that! That's the wrong sort of mask.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Not if there's a Second World War poisoned gas attack.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Then who will be laughing? I will.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- You won't be able to tell because I'm wearing a mask.- Ed!

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Go back and change it.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Did somebody call the fun police?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Actually, if I was the fun police,

0:05:26 > 0:05:28I'd be arresting people for having fun, so, I'm probably...!

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Ed! That mask is see-through.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Yes, otherwise I'd keep bumping into stuff, wouldn't I?

0:05:33 > 0:05:38Ed, the point of a masked ball is that no-one can see your face.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44This is an elegant event, Ed, for elegant people.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47If you can't find a suitable masked outfit,

0:05:47 > 0:05:51Ed, I am going to have to ask you to leave.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54OK, OK, I think I saw the perfect thing, actually.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- We've had reports that this party is on fire.- Ed!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Right, come on, if you cannot take us seriously,

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I won't take you seriously. How's that, hey?

0:06:06 > 0:06:13Ta-da! Victoria? Must have popped out.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Barbecue! Ah!

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Germany, Krausnick.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34The first motorcar was invented in Germany

0:06:34 > 0:06:37and the first person to drive it long distance,

0:06:37 > 0:06:38was the inventor's wife!

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Sat nav says there should be a hotel right here.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49A hotel can't be this easy to miss, surely.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52All I can see is this huge dome thing.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Maybe someone inside knows the directions, yeh?

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Ed, Ed? You're not going to believe what I just saw.- What?

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- There's a tropical rainforest.- Hey? - And a lagoon.- Hey?

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- And a hotel reception desk. - Huh?- It's the hotel.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18That's right boys, you have arrived at your destination!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21And although your hotel now looks like a tropical paradise,

0:07:21 > 0:07:23it used to be an aircraft hangar!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26They must have hidden the jumbo jets behind the sun loungers.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Ed and Chris, you have 47 seconds to find

0:07:30 > 0:07:33out as much as you can about the Tropical Islands resort!

0:07:33 > 0:07:40Chris, you have Bernd, who knows about the tropical rainforest!

0:07:40 > 0:07:44Ed, you have Patrick, who knows all about the attractions!

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Drei, zwei, eins, gehen!

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Achtung, Chris, Gehen!

0:07:56 > 0:07:58So, what's a rainforest?

0:07:58 > 0:08:02A rainforest is big trees, pine trees, animals.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06- How big is the dome?- Oh, it's more than 100m high.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09How many people visit this rainforest every year?

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Every year, nearly a million.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Does that mean you could put the Statue of Liberty inside it?

0:08:13 > 0:08:16Yes, it's the greatest freestanding hall in the world.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Have you got any animals living in your rainforest?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Yes, a lot of animals. We have big fish, turtles and birds.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26What's that bloke in the balloon doing up there?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Is he cleaning the dome? - No, you can...- What's he doing?

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- You can take a balloon ride. - I can take a balloon ride?- Yes.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Inside a building?- Yes. - That's how big this place is?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36How many different types of tree have you got in here?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38We have more than 500 species.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Sorry, I'm talking so fast but I'm trying many questions

0:08:40 > 0:08:42as I can in a minute but it's not going very well

0:08:42 > 0:08:45because I'm running out of time because I'm saying this.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50And the person who found out the most facts is...

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Chris.- Yes! Get in.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57All right, if you stop being smug, I'll let you in on a little secret.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Go on, then.- Patrick said we can go on a balloon ride.- A balloon?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Indoors?- Yes.- That's incredible. - I know, I know.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07I really want to find this balloon, Chris.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11I think it's probably this way. Let's try and not get distracted.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Love flamingos. They just make me laugh.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Look at their ridiculous skinny legs and their big beaks.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Oh, you're ridiculous. - This place is massive!

0:09:29 > 0:09:34So huge that you could fit over 50 Olympic-size swimming pools into it!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37But the pools they do have here, have a twist.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39They're designed to feel like you're at the beach!

0:09:39 > 0:09:41This is clever.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Washes the sand off your feet before you get into the pool.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Well, it is an artificial beach. Ed, the balloon!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Balloon!

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Get out of my way, there's a balloon. How excited are you?

0:09:53 > 0:09:57I'm about as excited as I was when I beat you in the fact-off.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59This is the perfect end to the perfect visit.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Actually, why don't you do some paperwork.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'm going to have a word with the balloon man before we go up.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Right, OK.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10So long, sucker. That'll teach you to beat me at fact-offs.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12But I won! I won!

0:10:15 > 0:10:16Best selfie ever.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22You can almost imagine looking at the whole world from up here.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Imagine if someone really did think this was planet Earth.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30At last, the Earth. Scan the area.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34At once. A constant tropical 25 degrees.

0:10:34 > 0:10:41All year round and 66,000 square metres in size.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44The Earth is much smaller than we had imagined.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49Our data suggested that the Earth is 500 million kilometres squared.

0:10:49 > 0:10:54No matter, it'll make it all the easier to conquer.

0:10:56 > 0:11:02I think this is a self-contained artificially created environment.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06Why would the humans do that? What purpose would it serve?

0:11:06 > 0:11:10Eliminate the need to travel to a hot area.

0:11:10 > 0:11:15Don't be a fool, it would teleport there. This is illogical. You are.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16- What?- Erm, nothing.

0:11:23 > 0:11:29Scanning, scanning, 27 metres high. 110 steps.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Just one of these stainless steel undulating tubes is

0:11:32 > 0:11:35capable of transporting nearly 700 humans per Earth hour.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Impressive and efficient.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43I believe this recreational water slide serves no other purpose

0:11:43 > 0:11:45than to go really fast.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- What fun.- Come on!

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Whoo hoo!

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Wa hey!

0:12:02 > 0:12:04I appear to have lost my human shorts.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Switzerland, Meiringen.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Sherlock Holmes' creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,

0:12:14 > 0:12:16used to love coming on holiday here,

0:12:16 > 0:12:18but I wonder what he would have made

0:12:18 > 0:12:21of Sherlock Petrie Holme-y's elementary rapping.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30We find ourselves in Switzerland in the very location

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Sherlock made his last stand.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34These falls are called the Reichenbach,

0:12:34 > 0:12:35I deduce that myself.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37You just read this plaque.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Here, I fear, Sherlock Holmes met his end,

0:12:39 > 0:12:41despite his intentions to apprehend.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Professor Moriarty, his deadly rival, they wrestled and fell,

0:12:45 > 0:12:46no chance of survival.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48No credible witness saw the fall,

0:12:48 > 0:12:51did he escape their fate? We can't be sure.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Who came up with this clever twist?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the novelist.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58What was the real outcome of this deadly duel?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Unanswered questions add more fuel to the mystery of Holmes,

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Moriarty and the falls.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05I'll solve this problem once and for all.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06# I want to scream

0:13:06 > 0:13:09# I want to shout

0:13:09 > 0:13:14# You're the detective you're just messing about

0:13:14 > 0:13:19# Stop looking for clues and give us some facts

0:13:19 > 0:13:24# Like did you know Sherlock really wore that deerstalker hat?

0:13:24 > 0:13:26There must be clues round here, can you see them?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29How about the Sherlock Holmes Museum?

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Inside, the exhibition comes complete with a recreated scene

0:13:32 > 0:13:34of his flat in Baker Street.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36A newspaper, messy desk, things in disarray.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38What does the state of this room convey?

0:13:38 > 0:13:41He left in a hurry, there wasn't time to tidy up.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43They were after the Napoleon of crime.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Interesting, but what could it mean?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Everything around here is not quite as it seems.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50The only thing that is not as it as it seems is you.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52So how do you explain this bronze statue?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55That's a tribute to Sherlock, can't you see?

0:13:55 > 0:13:57But it doesn't look the slightest bit like me.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I'm much better looking, Watson, can't you tell?

0:14:00 > 0:14:02That's your opinion and my name's Michelle.

0:14:04 > 0:14:05# I want to scream

0:14:05 > 0:14:09# I want to shout

0:14:09 > 0:14:14# You're nothing like Sherlock of that I've no doubt

0:14:14 > 0:14:18# The author, however, is held in high acclaim

0:14:18 > 0:14:21# This is Conan Doyle Place

0:14:21 > 0:14:24# They've changed the street name

0:14:24 > 0:14:26- So many questions. - Well, not really.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28- Things are hazy. - I can see quite clearly.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31The end to the mind palace in my head.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34You're not going to find much up there, Ed.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35# I want to scream

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I can believe what you say to me.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39# I want to shout

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Finding clues is elementary.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Remember, Sherlock had a famous saying.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45When you eliminate impossible, the truth remains.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47# Your mind is no palace

0:14:47 > 0:14:49# There's not much up top

0:14:49 > 0:14:53# This half-baked detecting has just got to stop.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Ha-ha. I've solved it.- Go on.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00I think you'll find that Sherlock Holmes

0:15:00 > 0:15:03and Moriarty were characters in a book.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06I rest my case.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Spain, Barcelona.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19The Spanish version of the tooth fairy is actually the tooth mouse!

0:15:25 > 0:15:28I can't believe we've forgotten to bring the invention

0:15:28 > 0:15:29for today's film.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Ah, yes, that's because we're going to meet the great Spanish inventor.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38Pep Torres and the Invention Museum here in Barcelona.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Hang on, hang on. What are these?- These old things?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Just something I came up with to help remember my lines.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49Iain, you beautiful Scottish genius. This is exactly what we need.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52They're going to hail us as the stars of the museum. Come on.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12Iain and Ed, enter. Iain looks better than Ed.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Oh, hello, Pep, the inventor.

0:16:14 > 0:16:19- What do you think of my latest... - Invention.- ..invention?

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Well, I don't know what to say

0:16:21 > 0:16:24because, actually, you never know if it's a good or a bad invention

0:16:24 > 0:16:27because, you know, there isn't a line between stupid things or not.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Now, I've got to say, I'm a little bit disappointed

0:16:29 > 0:16:32because I thought this place was crammed full of unusual

0:16:32 > 0:16:34and strange inventions but this is just an exercise bike

0:16:34 > 0:16:37and I've seen this before. If anything, it's quite dull.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41Well, you're right but inventing is not only inventing one thing,

0:16:41 > 0:16:44it's combined. Two normal things, for example.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46This exists, also that vending machine exists

0:16:46 > 0:16:50but the invention is combining both concepts. That's a real invention.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Oh, right. How does this work then?

0:16:52 > 0:16:54You have here some snacks you can get for free.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- You have only to pedal the calories.- That's an amazing idea.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59OK, I'm going to go for almonds.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04Almonds are 291 calories which will take Pep around 20 minutes to cycle.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well, I think we should have a look around and also,

0:17:07 > 0:17:09leave these here.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Keep pedalling, Pep. - Thank you very much.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Looking forward to my almonds in about 20 minutes.- Have fun, guys.

0:17:14 > 0:17:19But Pep's most amazing invention is actually this, the museum itself!

0:17:19 > 0:17:21It houses all sorts of designs, from the handy,

0:17:21 > 0:17:23to the completely useless.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27And his aim is to inspire the next generation of inventors!

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Ed, come here a minute. This is my favourite invention in a museum.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Like me, it's absolutely genius. - What happens when you turn it on?

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I'll tell you what, I'll leave you to find out.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47That's pretty useless. It's designed to switch itself off!

0:17:47 > 0:17:49But there are plenty of useful inventions here.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Teacups to hold your biscuits? Genius!

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Sorry, but I'm absolutely bursting.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Iain, that's the handle if you don't wash your hands.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Oh!- How did you do that? It was obvious.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Yuck! But what about waterproof covers for your high heels?

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Maybe not your style, boys?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Why not try these video camera trainers then!

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- How does this work, Iain? - You know that horrible thing

0:18:12 > 0:18:14when you step in dog poo or a slug or something?

0:18:14 > 0:18:16These shoes will eliminate that problem.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19A little camera on the bottom, OK? You can see what's under your feet.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Isn't that quite dangerous?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23You'll be looking at a screen everywhere you go.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27- You might walk into things. - Look. He's got them on now.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29CRASHING NOISE

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Oh, dear!

0:18:31 > 0:18:34I think the remote control cushion is a safer invention,

0:18:34 > 0:18:37handy for watching your favourite game show.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40It's invention dimension.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43It must be your intention to describe the invention that

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I mention in less than ten seconds.

0:18:48 > 0:18:55- Tell me the purpose of this ingenious piece.- Is it a dog bowl?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58- It's not a dog bowl, the thing in the bowl.- Green dog food?

0:18:58 > 0:19:01No, I'm afraid you're out of time.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04It is, in fact, fluorescent dog food.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07When you're picking up dog poo in the dark, as I often do,

0:19:07 > 0:19:09you don't tread on it by mistake.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Reflect on what this might be.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- It's a plate with a mirror on it. - Well done, Einstein.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24You can do your make-up whilst you eat, you can have all brusher...

0:19:24 > 0:19:28Time up. It is, in fact, a diet mirror.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33If you're looking after your figure, you can see double the quantity

0:19:33 > 0:19:35but eat half as much.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42- What is this?- I know what this is.

0:19:42 > 0:19:47This is one of these mops that you can sing while you clean.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49You're kara-OK.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53This was invented so that you could bop while you mop.

0:19:53 > 0:19:58- This means you've won a prize. - Amazing, what is it?- It's this.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01One of those towels you can hear the sea in?

0:20:01 > 0:20:05No, it's for cleaning my shoes. Go one, get on with it.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08Haven't got all day.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- That was fun, wasn't it? - Yeah, great.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Oh, I forgot to get my almonds off Pep.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- He'll have forgotten all about it. - Yeah.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Belgium, Dinant.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32The man who invented the saxophone was born in Dinant.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39I mean, seriously, Johny.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42How does a bath tub disappear from a hotel room?

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Yeah, there was no bath tub in my room, either. Not even a shower.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46I mean, a missing towel I can understand.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50A missing TV remote. But a bath tub? An entire bath tub?

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Hang on a minute, Ed. I think I found our bath tubs.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55What have they done to them?

0:20:55 > 0:21:00Calm down, guys, this is the annual Bath Tub Regatta.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Each year, hundreds of people gather into teams,

0:21:04 > 0:21:09build wacky vessels based around bath tubs, and paddle down-river.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12The winner is the first one to cross the finishing line

0:21:12 > 0:21:14at the bridge, 1km downstream.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18That's about 600 average bath tubs laid end to end.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21It's a good thing that Ed and Johny love their baths!

0:21:21 > 0:21:25But, maybe not as much as one guy from the United States.

0:21:25 > 0:21:30In 2009, he took a bath with 120 rattlesnakes in it.

0:21:30 > 0:21:34Eugh! I guess some world records are best left unchallenged!

0:21:36 > 0:21:39But, today's challenge is about getting down the river

0:21:39 > 0:21:42in a bath-boat and Jean Oliver, the event organiser

0:21:42 > 0:21:45will tell you both all about it.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48- TRANSLATION:- This is the 32nd time

0:21:48 > 0:21:53and it can be said, there are an average of 20,000 spectators a year.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Why do people love seeing bath tubs being raced?

0:21:57 > 0:22:01- TRANSLATION:- Well, we think it's because it's eccentric

0:22:01 > 0:22:05and it's a type of carnival parade that is the only one of its kind.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Everyone knows, we like a carnival in Belgium.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Come on, follow me, I'll show you the bath tubs.- Tres bien.

0:22:13 > 0:22:14Clean pits ahoy!

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Je m'appelle Johny. I'm with your team.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22This is your bath? I'm on your team.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Come on. Allez, come on. - Is there anything I can do to help?

0:22:25 > 0:22:28A bit of painting? Painting the roof.

0:22:30 > 0:22:36- Yep, I think that's better. - Not this, not this bit? I'm sorry.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40You're totally ready now, thanks to me. Bring on the race.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43The crowds have gathered on the shore and the floats

0:22:43 > 0:22:45are bobbing with anticipation.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49Johny has nine people in his team and Ed has 14,

0:22:49 > 0:22:52but his float is double the size.

0:22:54 > 0:23:00Will Ed's hefty vessel beat Johny's lightweight tub over the 1km course

0:23:00 > 0:23:03to the bridge? I can't wait to see this.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Ed, are you ready?- I was born ready.

0:23:09 > 0:23:15- Johny, are you ready? - Of course I'm ready.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Contenders, three, two, one, go.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Ed and his silly shower cap are off to a flying start

0:23:24 > 0:23:26and taking an early lead but Johny...

0:23:27 > 0:23:29..is going round in circles.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- What are you doing?- I'll tell you what, this is harder than it looks.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34We haven't even got anywhere.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37I have no idea what I'm doing.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Well, you're in luck, Johny, cos Ed is in trouble.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43These people are like pirates.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Oh, no, one of our team members has been taken prisoner.

0:23:50 > 0:23:5220 minutes into the race and Johny's

0:23:52 > 0:23:56finally moving in the right direction and sneaks past

0:23:56 > 0:23:58a preoccupied Ed.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04This is the most chaotic event I've ever been a part of.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07I'll tell you what, this is by far the easiest event I've ever done.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Looks like it, as well.

0:24:08 > 0:24:12With Ed trailing behind, he has a word in his Captain's ear!

0:24:12 > 0:24:14HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:24:16 > 0:24:21- See? He doesn't care how fast we go. - It's very good.- Yes, it's very good.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Ed, the snail, Petrie. That's his name.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Look how better decorated this is than Johny Pitts' boat.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Much better than Johny Pitts, oui?

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Ed gets so competitive when he thinks his chances of winning

0:24:34 > 0:24:37are going down the plughole, but now his team are actually paddling.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41- What more could he ask for? - When do I get to have my bath?

0:24:41 > 0:24:43Ed, you and your precious bath.

0:24:43 > 0:24:44Speaking of precious baths.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47Did you know that one of the most expensive baths ever was carved

0:24:47 > 0:24:49from a single Amazonian crystal

0:24:49 > 0:24:52and was worth over half a million pounds?

0:24:52 > 0:24:55For that, you could buy a speedboat and add gold taps.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58With the teams now halfway down the course, Ed's stopped sulking

0:24:58 > 0:25:01and is trying to close the gap on Johny.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06And he also has a little present for him.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11I've got a water balloon with Johny Pitts' name on it.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12Row, we need to row!

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Johny's Team look bored of rowing.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19The boys are coming face to face. It's water balloon time!

0:25:20 > 0:25:23Oh, Ed, that was pathetic! You need something bigger.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Where's that bucket? Can I borrow that a sec? Merci.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Yeah, stick with throwing buckets of water.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33I'm surprised I haven't used up all the water in this river.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Ed's float takes the lead

0:25:35 > 0:25:39and he's only 200 metres from the finish line!

0:25:39 > 0:25:41We need to go.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43For some reason, we've just all stopped paddling

0:25:43 > 0:25:47- and sometimes even can go round the wrong way.- So long, Johny.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50They've got more manpower than us.

0:25:50 > 0:25:51I can smell victory.

0:25:52 > 0:25:57Ed can see the finish line. The bridge is so close, but, look,

0:25:57 > 0:26:02Johny's not giving up yet. I don't believe it. What's this?

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Ed's team have decided to start chillaxing!

0:26:07 > 0:26:10HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:26:10 > 0:26:13We don't want to beat us. We want to be cool.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17You want to be cool. Oh, OK.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19You can try and act cool, Petrie,

0:26:19 > 0:26:22but we all know you want to win.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26We're too cool to be crossing the finishing line just yet.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Johny's rapidly closing the gap and Ed's getting twitchy!

0:26:31 > 0:26:33That's the finish, just there.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35What a final push from Johny!

0:26:35 > 0:26:37But is it enough?

0:26:37 > 0:26:41SIREN SOUNDS

0:26:41 > 0:26:46No! Pipped by the Petrie, again.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Ed, is the winner.

0:26:49 > 0:26:56Just one more. Come on. Yes! Yes! Have we crossed the line?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58How do you park a floating fire engine?

0:27:00 > 0:27:03After a confusing start for Johny, river pirate Ed's crew

0:27:03 > 0:27:06nearly dropped the ball, I mean balloon, but in the end,

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Ed pulled the plug on Johny's dreams

0:27:08 > 0:27:12and chillaxed his way to victory, leaving Johny to drift in a full

0:27:12 > 0:27:1520 minutes later.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19- And the winner is...Ed. - Thank you.- Man!

0:27:19 > 0:27:22We didn't get our bath but we are having a shower.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25- But I really wanted a bath. - Really?- Yeah.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33You've been watching All Over the Place Europe!
