0:00:02 > 0:00:05This is the UK's strangest road trip, with all your CBBC mates!
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Dick and Dom get attacked by crows. Miss London snogs a frog!
0:00:09 > 0:00:10You're not kissing me!
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Johny and Ed get sea sick, and leeches get their teeth into Holly.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Yes!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24# All over the place
0:00:24 > 0:00:26# North, South, East, West On a bizarre quest
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Me and my mates all over the place
0:00:28 > 0:00:31# It's true what you heard, everything is absurd
0:00:31 > 0:00:34# Whatever we do is strange but true
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# All over the place, all over the place
0:00:39 > 0:00:42# Bet you didn't know this stuff was in the UK
0:00:42 > 0:00:43# But it turns up... #
0:00:50 > 0:00:52We're on a leech farm.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56SHE SCREAMS
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Calm down, calm down!
0:00:58 > 0:00:59We're not even inside yet.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Oh yeah. Good point.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08But now that we are inside, there are thousands of the bloodsuckers.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09In fact...
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Ahh, look at this, Holly.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- Lots of lovely leeches.- Ew! Gross!
0:01:26 > 0:01:31Here's Carl, the leech farm manager, to tell us more.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, we need leeches to remove blood.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36We send them to hospitals, whenever they need to do a skin graft
0:01:36 > 0:01:38or reattach things, they still use leeches.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41It's got anaesthetic, so you can't feel anything.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Feeds for 20 minutes, takes ten times its weight in blood,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48drops off, and the hole bleeds for about ten hours.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53It's the leeches' saliva that helps blood, which is blocked or clotted,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56to flow again.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58So if I lost my finger in a horrible accident,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02in some cases they'd use leeches
0:02:02 > 0:02:04to keep the blood going in the finger, while they attached it?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Yes, that's right. - So basically keeping it alive?- Yeah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15- Sure you don't wanna have a go? - Oh, OK.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's not that bad really, is it?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22It's, like, it's got the consistency... This is disgusting!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- It's got the consistency of a big bogey.- Yeah.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- If I wanted to take a souvenir home, how much would a leech cost? - Up to about £10 each.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32And you've got 50,000 of them?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Wow. I'm starting to look at leeches very differently.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42# Medicinal leeches... #
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Oh, no! Someone's had reconstructive surgery,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48but the veins aren't drawing the blood away properly.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52# Medicinal leeches to the rescue. #
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- Look! It's Hirudo medicinalis! - Awesome!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- What's that?- Medicinal Euro leeches!
0:03:01 > 0:03:06They've got 32 brains, three jaws and 300 teeth.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- Each! BOTH:- Yeah!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Multi-jaws!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Cool. That medicinal leech is injecting the patient with
0:03:14 > 0:03:18anticoagulants and anaesthetics.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22# They make the blood thin and numb the pain. #
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Yeah! Pain.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Bodacious!- Doctors use leeches to drain away unwanted blood.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Watch as they get fat, sucking up to five times their own body weight!
0:03:33 > 0:03:39Watch as ultimate medicinal leeches grow up to half a metre!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41OK, that takes ages.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44But these leeches will be ultimately
0:03:44 > 0:03:48awesome and medicinal for up to 12 years.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49# Then they die. #
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Dead!
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Yes!- And these guys are gals too!
0:03:55 > 0:04:00That's right, all leeches are male and female at the same time!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02# Two in one. #
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Double fun!- Hermaphrodites!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11# Medicinal leeches. #
0:04:11 > 0:04:18Warning, medicinal leeches are not available in stores and only used in medicine. Not suitable for children.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Oh. Don't know what those are doing in there.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Skid marks.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Very good.- Let me have a look.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37'Uh-oh, The car's broken down.'
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Ah, that's it. We've just run out of oil, mate.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Just need to get to the garage.- A garage?!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I'm not paying those kind of prices.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46If we need oil, just pay a visit to one of those.
0:04:46 > 0:04:52Those, or rather these, are oil rigs, in the Cromarty Firth.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53What's a firth?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Do you see, do you see? No? Never mind.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Yoo-hoo!- Taxi!- Yoo-hoo!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Watch out, here's a wave coming!
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Told you.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Which is tres, tres deep, innit!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Do get seasick sometimes.- Really?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Yeah.- OK, if you just stand over there.- Yeah, OK. - And I'll just...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- If I am, can I mop it up afterwards with your scarf?- Definitely not.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Oil rigs come from all over the world to park in the Cromarty Firth.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I wonder if they have as much trouble parking
0:05:34 > 0:05:36as I do at the supermarket. In here, mate!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Oh, you don't want to leave it there, you'll get a parking ticket.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Ed and Johny!
0:05:41 > 0:05:46You each have 32 seconds to find out as much as you can about
0:05:46 > 0:05:49the Cromarty Firth and its oil rigs.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Johny, you have Captain Ken Gray who works at the port.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Ed, you've got Iain Dunderdale, who knows all about the Firth.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner! three, two, one, go!
0:06:02 > 0:06:07- Hello, Iain! I'm here to ask you lots of questions about oil rigs.- OK.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Um, how many are there in the Firth? - Five.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- What's the max oil rigs you can have at one time?- 15.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- What are they made out of?- Steel.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Right, can people sleep on them?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Yes.- What kind of vessels usually use this space?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Tankers, boat carriers, general cargo ships.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- How long is the Firth?- 19 miles.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Is it dangerous being on an oil rig? - It can be.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27- How deep is the firth?- 55 metres.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Do you have to be insured to be on a rig?- Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Is a firth more than a fourth?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It's just a Scottish word for a fjord.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Ah, more questions, c'mon, c'mon!
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- What's that?- That's a bit of tape.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Stop!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I think we did all right, Ken, thanks.
0:06:41 > 0:06:48And the person who found out the most facts is...
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Ed!
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yeah!
0:06:51 > 0:06:52That is not fair!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Oh, I've been duped!- Whoa!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Look at that.- Look at that!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- It's a big one.- That's amazing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10It's got the name Galaxy 1 painted on.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Quite appropriate, as it looks like a space station!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Yeah. Or some kind of battle station from the future,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18and we're ninjas, and we've got to get a diamond... Taking it too far?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You're getting a bit carried away.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It's quite amazing that big thing is being supported by
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- these small, spindly little legs in there as well.- Yeah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So if you're sitting at home now and you're nice and warm inside,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34you've got these to thank, because they provide
0:07:34 > 0:07:3780% of the gas that heats our homes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Can we go on there and get some oil for our car?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44No you can't, they wouldn't let you on. Plus the oil they get out
0:07:44 > 0:07:47of the ground, what they find, is crude oil, you can't put
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- crude oil in your car. - We've wasted our time.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Shall we just go to the petrol station?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Yes.- Very good.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Whilst the boys are filling up at the petrol station,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I think it's time for a challenge.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Let's play...
0:08:02 > 0:08:03With Slick Rick!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06We're going to be meeting Debbie.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10She'll be taking the Ooh! Oil! Challenge.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Coming!
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Let's find out how much oil she uses.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Well. We're inside Debbie's... Well, I guess you'd call it a home.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Do you use any oil in your home, Debbie?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Erm, no. No, I don't.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Course you use oil!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37There's lots of oil in your home!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40You use it in your shampoo,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42in your washing-up liquid,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44in your non-stick frying pan,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48in your cling film, in your plastic toilet brush.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52You even use it in your make-up.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56And oil tastes delicious when poured
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- over a healthy bowl of cornflakes. - Really?- No!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Now, Debbie, what about your children?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Do your children need oil?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Er...yes?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Are they robot children?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Are they half-machine, half-child?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18OK, no, they don't need oil.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Course they need oil! They need it in their school, Debbie.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25They use it in their plastic rulers,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28in their pens, in their ink.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31The oily list goes on.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Well, in that case
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'll take your oil, I'll take some.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- You can't take it.- Well, I'm going to take it. No, I'm taking it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Why don't you take the Ooh! Oil! Challenge
0:09:43 > 0:09:45and find out how much oil you use?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49"Oil" bet you'll be really amazed.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00We're in Craster, a small fishing village in Northumberland,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and I've got something here that's smoking!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09# Whoa
0:10:09 > 0:10:13# This house is on fire
0:10:17 > 0:10:20# Calm down, Ed, it's not as it appears
0:10:20 > 0:10:23# This house has been smoking for a hundred years
0:10:23 > 0:10:26# A hundred years? You're joking? Wow!
0:10:26 > 0:10:30# You'd think the fire brigade would have got here by now
0:10:30 > 0:10:33# It's not a fire, it's just an illusion
0:10:33 > 0:10:36# I need more information, this is quite confusing
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- # Why is there smoke pouring out of the roof?- It's smoking fish
0:10:41 > 0:10:44# Are you telling the truth? Because, whoa
0:10:47 > 0:10:51# Looks like it's on fire
0:10:51 > 0:10:55# It looks like it is, but it isn't... OK?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58# Come in the smoking house and see
0:10:58 > 0:11:01# I'll grab my pipe and be there in three
0:11:01 > 0:11:04# Not that kind of smoking, listen to this
0:11:04 > 0:11:07# It's a smoking house for smoking fish
0:11:07 > 0:11:09# Smoking fish
0:11:09 > 0:11:11# A disgusting thought
0:11:11 > 0:11:14# Er, how do they light cigarettes under water?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17# I'm becoming quite irritated with your behaviour
0:11:17 > 0:11:20# They're smoking fish to give them flavour. #
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Oh.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23But...
0:11:23 > 0:11:27# Whoa. #
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- Not again, Ed. - # Looks like it's on fire... #
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Yes, we've established that. Now get inside.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39# This machine splits the fish in double-quick time
0:11:39 > 0:11:42# Then they're soaked in this salty solution called brine
0:11:42 > 0:11:45# Then hung on hooks over smoking wood
0:11:45 > 0:11:48# After 16 hours they taste really good... #
0:11:50 > 0:11:52HE COUGHS Think these are just about done.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56# Whoa
0:11:56 > 0:12:00# So it's not on fire? #
0:12:00 > 0:12:01No, it's not.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04As I have said several times, since the beginning of this song.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06# Whoa
0:12:09 > 0:12:12# Turns out I'm a liar. #
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Someone said there was a fire?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Er, yes. That was me.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, seems a shame to waste this.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44What am I doing here?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47"Go to Flamstead", people said, "You'll have a lovely day out."
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Really, really? Look at that!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54The people who live here have been turned into statues! It's a curse!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's the curse of Flamstead! It's the only explanation...
0:12:56 > 0:12:59it's the only explanation as to what's going on here.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Course, that could be another explanation.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Ed, you're such a scaredy-cat!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Which is perfect for this location.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I think this one's been eating the competition.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18That's cheating, y'know! I'll have a word with the judges.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20The judges would only say "You own that garden!"
0:13:20 > 0:13:25This and other scarecrows are placed all around the village.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29This is amazing. It's like an animatronic, robot...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Oh, it's just a dog.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34This is actually a crow in disguise.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Look, y'see! You're not fooling anyone! You're not fooling anyone!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40I know what you're up to.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42All right, Ed, no need to crow about it.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It can get very busy here.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50These scarecrows are great. I'm starting to feel a bit left out.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Wish I had some kind of scarecrow-making kit. CLANG!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Oh! Who put that there? - It wasn't the TV crew. Honest.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Ed's making a scarecrow... of himself!
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Now, on to the face.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10What do you think so far? The nose is about right.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Ah, it's like the identical twin brother I never had.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16That's Ed the scarecrow finished...
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Got this from her wardrobe. I'm sure she won't miss it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Now for Holly's head. I've got a few ideas about this.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- These are modelled on Holly Walsh's actual teeth.- And her actual wig.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Ah. It's like she's with me now.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Right, that's Holly finished.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Now, let's go and scare some crows.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Shouldn't be too hard with this.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Well, one thing's for sure, there
0:14:45 > 0:14:48aren't going to be any crows hanging around here.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- That was a close one.- Rather, old bean. Scarecrows all over us!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- We were lucky to get out of there alive.- Absolutely, old chap.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Just imagine what would happen if one of them got hold of you. Brrr!
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Have you ever actually seen a crow being caught by a scarecrow?
0:15:06 > 0:15:12- Now you mention it, no.- I'm beginning to think that scarecrows
0:15:12 > 0:15:16are only there to scare crows!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18That would explain the name!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Oh, we've been such fools.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Well, not any more.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27At 1400 hours precisely, we launch a full-scale attack.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38What are those two crows doing?
0:15:38 > 0:15:44- Argh! My eyes! They're pecking out my scarecrow's eyes!- I mean, why?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Why would they do that?- I don't know, why would they do that?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51It's because we've made them too realistic, they look too much
0:15:51 > 0:15:52like the real you and me.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Hang on a minute. Crows don't peck out eyeballs.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Hm, no. Course they don't.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Shall we just, um?- Yes.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I think that's probably best.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Is completing your own collection making you hopping mad?
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Then wait till you see what this grown up collects in St Helens.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Before we start, Mary, I was just wondering if you'd seen Holly?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- No, I haven't. - She hasn't turned up yet?- No.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- We'll just start now and she'll probably be along.- Yeah.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Ribbit.- Holly Walsh! What're you doing?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I'm dressed as a frog, Ed, so I can blend in with the collection.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- This place is amazing! Come and have a look.- Hop it, hop it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51This is frog central.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54If they were all real and living together in the wild,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56they'd be called an army of frogs.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Well, they do all have the same green uniform.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Mary has over 3,000 in her collection,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03but she'd need 5,000
0:17:03 > 0:17:05to represent every real species of frog.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Mary is so keen on frogs that she has a whole bedroom devoted to them.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12There must be about 300 in here alone.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14My mum wouldn't let me get away with this.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18"You are not having 200 frogs in your bedroom!"
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- There's a lot of frogs. - Hang on a minute.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- This one's a toad.- Don't worry, Ed.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29He is allowed, because toads are actually part of the frog family.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36I think it says something when your frogs are able to sit
0:17:36 > 0:17:40on entire pieces of furniture which are meant for human beings.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Did you know a frog has more lives than a cat?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Because...it croaks every day!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Ed! Ed! Ed!- What?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Hi, Ed. Who do you think I look like?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Holly Walsh dressed as a frog?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59No, Ed, I look like this little guy.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03This is the way to be seated if you're a frog in a collection.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Right, good, very good. Would you mind getting out? I need a wee.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Don't mind me, go ahead. We're very relaxed about these things in the frog world.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- No, get out!- Ribbit.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19I think Holly's enjoying this a bit too much. You've spawned a monster.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22How could I not enjoy myself? I'm dressed as a frog
0:18:22 > 0:18:25surrounded by 3,000 other frogs with a woman who adores frogs.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- You're in your natural habitat. - I really am.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32We've really enjoyed your collection, so here's your very own
0:18:32 > 0:18:34All Over The Place frog.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Aw, lovely.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37How are you going to get changed?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40There's only one way to transform out of being a frog.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I've got to get a kiss from a Prince Charming.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Go on, give us a kiss.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47No, thanks. I'll pass on that, thanks very much.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Let's see if Princess London has more luck with Ed.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52SHE CRIES
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Aw, why the tears, fair Princess?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I cry because I fear I may never
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- find my Prince Charming. - What does he look like?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05I never met him, but it's our fate to live happily ever after.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07My fairy godmother told me so.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09You know it's true cos a fairy told you?
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Well, a whole load of issues there.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Unless you're the prince turned into a frog by a witch's evil spell.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Yeah, pretty sure I'm just a frog.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Only one way to find out.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Only a kiss from a princess can break the spell.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- You're not kissing me!- Why not?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30But, like, a thousand reasons.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33For a start, you're not my type.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36You're not green, not amphibian and you're about 50 times too big.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38SHE CRIES
0:19:41 > 0:19:45All right, all right, all right, how about this? You kiss that lily pad,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47then I kiss the lily pad,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51then I'll get one of your kisses without all the weirdness.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59There, I told you, nothing happened.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Wow! So you were right. I was cursed by an evil witch after all!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You'd have thought I'd remember that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11And your kiss saved me! Oh, thank you, my love!
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Let us ride into the sunset and live happily ever after.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17No. Don't think so.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- What, why? - You're not my Prince Charming!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22My fairy godmother said he'd be handsome.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Oh.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26One way or another this has been a bit embarrassing.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Ribbit.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30# What are you thinking? What are you thinking?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32# What are you thinking?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38The most visited theme park in the UK is Blackpool's Pleasure Beach.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42It gets an average of 5.5m visitors entering each year.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Every year visitors eat 500,000 candyflosses.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50That's enough to returf Wembley Stadium four times over.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56Plus they scoff a million ice cream cones! A lot of unicorn horns.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59That's the tallest roller coaster in the UK.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Its highest point is 65 metres high.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06That's nearly 36 of me stacked up.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Bleurgh!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I'm feeling dizzy just looking at it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16I don't think I can do this for much longer. But what if we lived here?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19What if the world was a theme park?
0:21:19 > 0:21:24If the world was a theme park it would be quite depressing for
0:21:24 > 0:21:29small people, because they wouldn't be allowed on all the big rides.
0:21:29 > 0:21:35A ride for grannies could be, like, a cart that has knitting needles.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39And the name of the granny coaster is Grannies It's Knitting Time.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Instead of having cars, you'd have bumper cars, so you'd
0:21:43 > 0:21:45drive round the road then you'd just
0:21:45 > 0:21:47crash into each other.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I've been training for ages...
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I am going to win the World Hen Racing Championships.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03There it is.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Oh, no-one's wearing chicken costumes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Yeah, I know.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16It's people racing chickens. I just like getting dressed up.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Does that mean there'll be no spring chickens taking part? Hee-hee.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33This is the Olympic village.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37This is what happens when you hang around chickens too long.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39What a beautiful specimen.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40That is what they are racing for.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43They don't care about coming first, all they want is dinner.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Mine are on the sweet corn.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Is that what they prefer? - It's our secret weapon.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I've got a secret weapon, not even going to tell you what!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52We'll get it out of her later.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56We hatched a plan...
0:22:56 > 0:22:57This is my one, this is the tame one.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- This is the tame one. - So what do I do?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- You just hold his leg.- Hold his leg.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Hold his leg.- I've eaten a few of these, I tell you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Yeah.- I probably shouldn't say that, sorry!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Whoa, there we go!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Lovely.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13This is a lively one.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16That's good, this chicken's got energy. Full of energy.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19There we go, wahey.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22These chickens are from a family of champions?
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- Yep.- I wonder if Holly's hen is from a family of champions. Hope not.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31So this is little Snowy. So what's your top tip or insider
0:23:31 > 0:23:35things I could know about how to get my chicken to the finishing line?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Well, you could get a can of chicken food and shake it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- So they think dinner's happening? - Yeah.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43What was that, Snowy?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45We're gonna win?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Of course we're gonna win!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Now time for some rules.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54The first hen over the finish line wins, and no chickening out.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05So we're here at the board which has which heat you're in. I'm in
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Heat Four so we've got a few to go. - This is my heat here, Browni.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13BBC as well, so the pressure's on. Everyone knows we're from telly.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Poor old Chicken Licken is going to end up in someone's pie...
0:24:19 > 0:24:20I wanna see you get out there,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I don't want any funny business. I don't want any pecking,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28any flapping, all I want is a good clean race.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Ready, steady, go.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Go Snowy! Go Snowy!
0:24:33 > 0:24:36And Snowy's off and pecking, and I'm feeling a bit peckish
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Looking at these hens!
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Snowy looks a bit confused, Holly. - She's going the wrong way!
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Turn round! Keep running, she's off!
0:24:47 > 0:24:50She is indeed off, she's doing very well and...
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Oh, it's a bit of fowl play there, fowl play!
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Snowy got attacked by a bigger... Oh, Snowy!
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Snowy's looking terrified!
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Snowy, turn round! - Snowy's going the wrong way!
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Oh, and there's a winner in this egg-straordinary heat.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14What went wrong, Snowy?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18You were doing so well! And then you got pecked
0:25:18 > 0:25:22by that giant other chicken and you started walking backwards, and then
0:25:22 > 0:25:25the last thing you did was ate someone else's poo.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I mean, you embarrassed yourself out there.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Holly's chicken didn't make the grade, so if we win this we beat her.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- Easy. - Have you got any last-minute tactics?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Just put him in gear.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42- Team talk.- How are you going to tell the difference between your hen
0:25:42 > 0:25:46and those hens? I mean, all these hens look identical.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- I can smell the difference. - Not for...
0:25:48 > 0:25:51This has got a slightly yellow head.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- She does, yeah. - Set your marks, get set, go.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Go!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05The most confused animals I've ever seen.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09You have to try to waft them or blow on them
0:26:09 > 0:26:14or something, but they just don't care. They don't care what you do.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Go away, you stupid thing!
0:26:15 > 0:26:18He's not even pointing in the right direction. Go away!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20He might start a fight.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23And there's the winner! We have a winner!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26And where's Ed's hen?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Oh.- Can you shake the hand of the winner?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Can you do it, Ed, can you bring yourself to congratulate him?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Yeah. Well done, well done.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Well done there. The best hen won.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- The best hen won, that's sportsmanship for you.- And you!
0:26:40 > 0:26:42You should be ashamed of yourself!
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Well, both our hens were extremely rubbish.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I feel particularly "omelette" down by mine.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Colette who runs the event is still giving us a prize!
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yes, the results are in and out the hens
0:26:54 > 0:26:58that you trained for a short time, it was you that won, Holly.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59- Yes!- Your hen got the furthest.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Even though she did a U-bend, walked back and ate
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- another hen's poo? - Yeah, let's forget that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06There you go, there's your prize.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Oh, what? I don't believe this, Ed,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- this is a dream come true for me. - But some good news for you, Ed.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15We do have some other categories and you have won a prize.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Oh, yes.- It's for handler with the nicest hair.- Yes!- There you go.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Yes! I always knew I could do this!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- What about my hair? - Who cares about the chickens?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I have the hair! Yes! You see that, Derbyshire?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Ha, in your face. Or should I say, in your hair?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Ha, yes, I've won something. - Ed's egg-static.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33And you've been watching All Over The Place!
