0:00:20 > 0:00:24# All over the place All over the place

0:00:27 > 0:00:30# Me and my mates all over the place

0:00:30 > 0:00:32# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd

0:00:32 > 0:00:35# Whatever we do, we strain for truth

0:00:40 > 0:00:43# Bet you didn't know this stuff was in the UK

0:00:43 > 0:00:46# But it turns up all over the place. #

0:00:48 > 0:00:49This is the life.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53I mean Ed might be the most annoying man in the world but he booked me

0:00:53 > 0:00:58- into this luxury spa for the weekend, so really nice.- Wooh hoo!

0:00:58 > 0:01:02- Who is that? What? - It's a dog resort.- What?

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Ed. I'm very offended. I'm not a dog! - No, I didn't book you in.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08I just thought you might be interested in having a look around.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10It's where dogs come on holiday.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Yeah, you heard right, dogs come here on holiday.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17Anyway, you're on the massage table, get off. Do you want a massage?

0:01:30 > 0:01:33She's the luckiest dog in the whole of Worcestershire, I think.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Look at the smile on her face.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38You need be very careful if you're a massaging a dog.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39You don't grab any old dog.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46This is Matt and Rose's breakfast.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48It's the finest scrambled eggs.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Sir, madam, breakfast is served.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Yum, yum, yum, room service.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58You're going to love this.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00I know, it's breakfast.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Check it out.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Would sir like a newspaper?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08No? Well, I'll leave you to it then.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11This is one luxurious hotel,

0:02:11 > 0:02:15I am seriously considering hiding in there and staying the night.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Ed!- This is why I'm more of a cat person.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35You can't walk a dog like that.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37That's not exercise.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39She's on holiday. She doesn't care.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41DOGS BARK

0:02:41 > 0:02:45This place is so nice they've even got an outdoor pool.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48- We should have a dip while we're here.- Definitely.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's all right, they've got one indoors as well.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Doggy paddle is the only stroke allowed here!

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Oh, that was another howler!

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oh, there's dogs in here as well.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04I don't think there'll be anywhere without dogs here.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Let's get in the pool.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Whoa! Are you coming in, Rose?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'm just a bit worried I might hit a warm patch,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19- and not know who it is... - It wasn't me, it wasn't me.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21No weeing in the pool. OK?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24She's not taking part in this whatsoever.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26She's just on a cruise, basically.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Argh!- Argh!- Rose!

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Look, even the plants are dog themed.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Ha. And there are two new residents checking in.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Oh, how nice is this?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Are we allowed up on the bed?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49There's no-one to tell us to get down.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Look, they've even given us doggy treats for the pillow.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Oh, for two weeks we're going to be living in the lap of luxury.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04THEY HOWL AND BARK

0:04:04 > 0:04:08Right, I'm going to go and sniff a few bottoms

0:04:08 > 0:04:11and then I'm going to the pool and having a paddle.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Have you learnt to do stroke yet?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16What can I say, I'm a doggy! It's the only stroke I know.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18And this one.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19That's good, oh yes.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Good boy.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26- Good boy.- That's the spot.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31- OK, I'll see you in a bit. - Don't forget your towel.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33It's all right, I'll just shake dry.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Ed, what are you doing? We've got to go. Everyone's waiting.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Go without me, I've checked in. - Really?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45You get scrambled egg breakfasts, you get walks,

0:04:45 > 0:04:48massages, swimming, it's brilliant. I'll see you in a week.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49All right then.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Skibby, if you don't want to stay with him there's room in the car.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Do you want to come?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Edinburgh.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Have you noticed the names of these little streets?

0:05:09 > 0:05:12They seem to be suggesting that someone's close.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16You've got Lyon's Close, Jackson's Close,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19if I get too close they might name a close after me.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20A close is more like an alley.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24They were often named after well-known people who lived nearby.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27In this house was a very wealthy widow called Mary King.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- It's called Mary King's Close. - Right.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32This is the City Chambers, where the council meet.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34What are you showing me next, the bottle bank(?)

0:05:34 > 0:05:36No, there's a reason I've brought you here.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Beneath our feet is a labyrinth of houses and streets.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42They're hidden by this building.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- That's exactly where we're going. - Oh.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Welcome to Mary King's Close.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Don't do that!- Isn't it brilliant?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54It's really big. It's a proper old street.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55- Yes.- Who used to live here?

0:05:55 > 0:05:59All sorts of people from the poorest of the poor to the richest,

0:05:59 > 0:06:02The people that were really poor lived at the very bottom

0:06:02 > 0:06:05and the people who were really rich lived at the top.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Why did they build buildings on top of these streets?

0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's because of the rock they're on. It's a very, very strong bedrock,

0:06:12 > 0:06:15and so the City Chambers are built on top of these

0:06:15 > 0:06:17because they're using these rocks as foundations.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Now I love this bit.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28This is actually a house,

0:06:28 > 0:06:31just this one room is a house where the poorest of the poor lived.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33The whole family in one room?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35About eight to 12 people in one room.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Wait for it, look over there in the corner. You see that bucket?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Yes.- That's where they all do their business.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43- That's the toilet? - It would stink in here.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- One bucket.- Absolutely gross. I like it down here though.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58HE HACKS AND COUGHS

0:06:58 > 0:07:02Let me know if you've got any of the following symptoms, OK?

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Chills?- Yeah.- High fever?

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- Yeah.- Muscle pains.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I've been feeling very achy, yes.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Severe headaches?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Headaches, yes, but severe, no.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Just painful to the point where I can't think straight.

0:07:17 > 0:07:26Any painful seeping boils commonly found in the groin, armpit or neck?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- No... Nothing like that at all. - What's that then?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh yes, I forgot about that.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Silly me.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I think you've got the plague.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Is that good?

0:07:38 > 0:07:43No. The plague killed around 200 million people in the 14th century.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45How do they cure that exactly then?

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Well, they tried everything, from herbs and garlics to dried toads.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- They even tried liquorice. - I love liquorice.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Me too. It didn't work though.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57In the end they just lanced off the patient's boils

0:07:57 > 0:07:58and drained out all their blood.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Is this plague thing totally incurable?- No.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06In modern medicines antibiotics are proved to clear the plague right up.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08So I'll be all right then?

0:08:08 > 0:08:11No. You see judging from your medieval dress and the fact

0:08:11 > 0:08:17that the plague hasn't been seen since 1655, I'd diagnose you as dead.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20And in fact a ghost.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Oh.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27Oh, this is it, this is one of the most famous rooms ever.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Really? - Yeah, look at all these toys.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31There's a story that goes with this.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36In 1645, there was a young girl called Annie, who got the plague.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37The family had two choices.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40They could either leave her in here and shut the door

0:08:40 > 0:08:42so that she died in here on her own.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Or leave her in there with the other family,

0:08:44 > 0:08:48but that would mean the family might get infected with the plague.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51The choice they made was to leave Annie here on her own.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53- She got better and everything was OK?- No, she died.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58She became a ghost and then in 1992 a psychic came here

0:08:58 > 0:09:00and when she came into the room she said

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- she saw Annie stood just over here. - Don't tell me this.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06She felt she was sad, like she'd lost one of her dolls,

0:09:06 > 0:09:10so she bought her this doll, and when she brought it in

0:09:10 > 0:09:13she said the spirit in the room lifted.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15How cool is that? It's also quite scary,

0:09:15 > 0:09:20so I'm just going to go before anything weird happens.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Agh!- You all right?

0:09:30 > 0:09:31I've got a bit of a headache.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, now what were the symptoms of the plague?

0:09:34 > 0:09:38- It's not the plague, is it.- There was headache, fever, coughing...

0:09:38 > 0:09:40HE COUGHS: Oh.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42We'd better get you to a doctor.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46What were the next symptoms? There was pus-filled boils and vomiting.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47HE RETCHES

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oh, Ed, what are these spots on my hands?

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Barney hasn't really got the plague, just a touch of man flu.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01If you've got a collection of stamps you're going to love what

0:10:01 > 0:10:05this grown-up collects on the Isle of Wight.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08BARKING

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Aaargh!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13I told you, if you dress like a postman you'll get chased by a dog.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16I only dressed up to impress Arthur the postbox collector.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18I thought you'd appreciate the effort.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Why don't you just go and meet him?

0:10:21 > 0:10:2720 years collecting, 200 in the collection.

0:10:27 > 0:10:32Arthur is postbox man.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Arthur has the largest collection of postboxes in the UK.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48"Letters" have a look at his museum.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56How long have you been collecting these, Arthur?

0:10:56 > 0:11:00I started in the early 1990s with a postbox from Rhyl in North Wales.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02So you don't just have postboxes,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05you've got postbags, telephone booths, what else have you got?

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Anything to do with Royal Mail or Post Office, we collect.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Postboxes used to be green

0:11:11 > 0:11:17but they were changed to red when people kept bumping into them.

0:11:19 > 0:11:24And now it's time for the postbox challenge.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- We've got a few questions here for you to answer.- OK.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- You have to post the answers in the correct postbox.- No problem.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Are you ready?

0:11:32 > 0:11:33- Oh yeah. - PEEP!

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- Welsh, OK.- Er...

0:11:37 > 0:11:39This is fun!

0:11:39 > 0:11:43He mentioned his first one he got from Rhyl, I reckon that's in Wales.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I'm looking for one with Welsh on. - OK, second one, most valuable.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- It's got to be one of these early ones.- I'll put it to the back.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Oldest, oldest, OK.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53I might possibly have been touching that one earlier.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56I'm going to go for, it's going to be a green one.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58I wouldn't go up there.

0:11:58 > 0:11:59OK.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Scottish, Scottish, Scottish. - That one.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Not really.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Newest. OK, I reckon it's going to be this one, this looks new.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- This one is past it so it'll go in there.- Oldest.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17I've got Welsh, Scottish and most valuable left.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Queen Victoria. Go on.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'm going to go with that, I don't know what it is. And Scottish.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- I'll put one in there. - Where's the Scottish one?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27One in there.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30I'm a long way from Scotland, that's for sure. The Isle of Wight.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- One in there.- Give me a clue!

0:12:33 > 0:12:35- PEEP! - That'll do, that will do.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39Shambles, absolute shambles.

0:12:39 > 0:12:44The actual winner with one right is Holly.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Yes! Which one did I get right?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- You got the Welsh one right.- Yes! - Sorry we let you down, Arthur.

0:12:49 > 0:12:54But to make it up to you, we're going to give you this All Over The Place postbox.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Oh, wow! That's nice.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58I haven't got one like that,

0:12:58 > 0:13:02that must be number 201 in my collection. Thank you very much.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05# What are you thinking? What are you thinking?

0:13:05 > 0:13:06# What are you thinking? #

0:13:22 > 0:13:25'Ed, this is Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32'See these two towers? The length between these two is called the span

0:13:32 > 0:13:34'and the span is 230 metres.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36'At the time it was built

0:13:36 > 0:13:39'it was the longest span of any bridge in the world.'

0:13:39 > 0:13:44'That's about 1,712 chocolate bars.'

0:13:45 > 0:13:48'It crosses the River Avon

0:13:48 > 0:13:53'and the bridge is 76 metres above the water.'

0:13:53 > 0:13:56'That's 608 chocolate bars.'

0:13:59 > 0:14:03'What's all these chocolate bar facts?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06'You'd think the world was made of chocolate or something!'

0:14:06 > 0:14:09'The first chocolate bar was made in Bristol

0:14:09 > 0:14:11'nearly 150 years ago by Mr Joseph Fry.'

0:14:11 > 0:14:14'Right here in Bristol? No way.'

0:14:14 > 0:14:18'I should coco. Get it? Cocoa. Chocolate is made of cocoa beans.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22'What would the world be like if it was made of chocolate?'

0:14:22 > 0:14:24If the world was made of chocolate

0:14:24 > 0:14:27there wouldn't be any fruit or vegetables so you could get

0:14:27 > 0:14:30your five a day, like, your five types of chocolate a day.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34Milk chocolate, dark, white, orange, mint chocolate.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36What would the buildings be made of, chocolate?

0:14:36 > 0:14:42That would annoy workers because you build it and it melts.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46Eventually we just eat everything and then we'd float about in space

0:14:46 > 0:14:50with chocolate over our face with chocolate balls and then explode.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56# Things that stick out of the sea. #

0:14:59 > 0:15:02That area around there's boring.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06In fact, there's not a lot going on at all. What's that?

0:15:06 > 0:15:10I think it's called the Montgomery wreck.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Ironically, I heard it was full of explosives.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14You heard right, Ed.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17This is the Montgomery wreck.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20It was a cargo ship during World War Two

0:15:20 > 0:15:23and when it sank it was full of explosives.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26It was shipwrecked on a sand spit and the weight

0:15:26 > 0:15:29of all those explosives caused it to break in two.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33Ed And Holly, you each have 40 seconds

0:15:33 > 0:15:38to find out as much as you can about the Montgomery wreck.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Ed, you've got David, our land lubber.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47Holly, you've got Dave, our salty seadog.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51Whoever finds out the most facts will get to go

0:15:51 > 0:15:53on the boat for a closer look.

0:15:53 > 0:15:583, 2, 1. Go.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Hello, David, I'm Ed. I've got loads of questions to ask you.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- When did the boat sink? - 20th August 1944.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Who's it named after? - I've no idea.- Argh!

0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Where did it sail from? - Hogg Island, Philadelphia.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- How deep under water is it? - It's about 20 foot.

0:16:12 > 0:16:17- How many men were on it? - 50 crew plus three armed guards.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- How far out to sea is it? - About three miles.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- What was it carrying?- It was carrying ammunition and bombs.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25How many ships go past it every day?

0:16:26 > 0:16:2820 or 30, I should think.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Is it safe?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's safe where it is at the moment.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33- How heavy is it?- I've no idea.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36No giant animals have attacked it at any time?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Not according to the records.

0:16:38 > 0:16:39BUZZER RINGS

0:16:39 > 0:16:45And the person who found out the most facts is...

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Ed.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49Yes!

0:16:49 > 0:16:55Yes, thank you, David, I want to go on the boat so much. All aboard.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Bye, Holly. The loser!

0:17:02 > 0:17:05We're finally heading out to Montgomery wreck.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07It'll take about half an hour to get there

0:17:07 > 0:17:09so hopefully I won't get seasick.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to that.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19I feel a bit scared. There's all these buoys saying danger,

0:17:19 > 0:17:21there's a big pile of bombs over there.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24- It's only 3,000 tons of high explosive.- Oh, yeah!

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Don't be scared about that.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29I think we need a status report on the ship.

0:17:29 > 0:17:34- Status report, please.- Sir? - Status report on the ship.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36I told you, Sir, we're shipwrecked.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're having a party this afternoon?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well, no Sir, we've been laid on the bottom

0:17:42 > 0:17:44of the Thames estuary for nearly 70 years now.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48So how long is it going to take to get fixed, a couple of weeks?

0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Forever.- Forever?

0:17:50 > 0:17:54We've got to get all these explosives over to our troops in France

0:17:54 > 0:17:55if we're going to win this war.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I think the war is probably over, sir.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01The war is over? Ed, brilliant news, let's crack open them fireworks.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- I'm not sure that's a good idea, sir.- Why not?

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Because very small explosions such as a firework could ignite them all.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- And what's your point? - Well, if they were to go off, Sir,

0:18:11 > 0:18:13there would be an explosion which would be so large

0:18:13 > 0:18:16it would smash every window in Sheerness, sir.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Well in that case, Mr Scott, I believe our time has come.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24- You mean?- Yes, sir, abandon ship.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Oh, thank you, captain, for a moment

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I thought we were going to be stuck on this shipwreck forever.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Not a problem. I wonder if the other passengers

0:18:32 > 0:18:34can hear this siren all right.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38I know, I might just set off this flare just so everyone can see.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39That's it, I give up.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43What's his little jelly beans?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46What does it actually look like under there?

0:18:46 > 0:18:47Where are the bits of the ship?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, it's quite rotten, actually,

0:18:50 > 0:18:53but probably you'd get a better view on the radar.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55- They can show us in there?- Yes. - Brilliant.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58This is the skipper, Dave.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- There's a lot of Daves around here, aren't there?- Certainly is.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02So, David outside,

0:19:02 > 0:19:05he said to me that you could show me the ship on the radar.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Well, that's the mast of the ship in the middle of the radar there.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14And those buoys all the way round are the warning buoys that circle it.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16So what does the actual underneath look like?

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Well, that's a picture of the sonar.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22You can really see where it got caught on that spit, can't you?

0:19:26 > 0:19:28What are you doing? Go away!

0:19:28 > 0:19:29Go, get back!

0:19:29 > 0:19:33Get back, there's 3,000 tonnes of explosives under there!

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Calm down, Ed.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42- How did it go?- Oh, it was amazing.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45The whole thing's covered in bombs and stuff.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47It's like really dangerous.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Ships were trying to crash into it. I was going, "No, get back!"

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Yeah, I'm sure it did, Ed.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Dave let me drive the boat.- Really?

0:19:53 > 0:19:57- At one point, a giant shark tried to attack it.- Really?- And an octopus.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- But I fought them off.- I made friends with a seagull called Lesley,

0:20:00 > 0:20:02who's the bigger winner?

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- To be honest, I think it was me. - Who had a better morning?

0:20:15 > 0:20:19# There is a railway station that's the pride of the Welsh nation

0:20:19 > 0:20:21# On an island that is known as Anglesey

0:20:22 > 0:20:25# An extraordinary claim is based upon its chosen name

0:20:25 > 0:20:28# Which guarantees it's place in history

0:20:28 > 0:20:32# With nearly 60 letters it's impossible to better it

0:20:32 > 0:20:35# And so it is my pleasure to announce

0:20:35 > 0:20:39# The longest name in the UK I find is quite easy to say

0:20:39 > 0:20:41# Though some have claimed it tricky to pronounce. #

0:20:41 > 0:20:43It's simple.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46# Lllanfair...

0:20:46 > 0:20:49# ..Pwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobw...

0:20:49 > 0:20:51# ..Llllantysiliogogogoch. #

0:20:51 > 0:20:52That's easy for you to say.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54In English, it means the church of St Mary

0:20:54 > 0:20:57in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- by the Church of St Silos in the red cave.- That's easy for you to say.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04# I see that you are impressed and so it really must be stressed

0:21:04 > 0:21:06# To say it Well, it is a piece of cake.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10# It's true, I can't deny it Oh, I really want to try it

0:21:10 > 0:21:13# Though I'm worried that I might make a mistake.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17# But I think you'll find Upon inspection of this sign

0:21:17 > 0:21:20# There are some hints that just might help you on your way.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23- # Go on, I'll have a bash. - I'm sure you'll learn it in a flash

0:21:23 > 0:21:26# Why, it only took me 27 days

0:21:27 > 0:21:29# Repeat after me.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- # Llanfairpwll.- Llanfairpwll - Gwyngyllgogerych.- Gwyngyllgogerych

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- # Wyrndrobwll.- Wyrndrobwll - Antysiliogogogoch.- Antysiliogogogoch

0:21:36 > 0:21:38# By George, you've got it

0:21:42 > 0:21:47# You have to say that that was fun and so it seems my job is done

0:21:47 > 0:21:49# And I must go upon my way again

0:21:49 > 0:21:52# I managed to convey it but it took so long to say it

0:21:52 > 0:21:55# That I've only gone and missed my blooming train! #

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Don't worry, I'll get a cab.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Hello? How much for a cab back to London, please?

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Where am I? I'm just at the station in...

0:22:04 > 0:22:05Here we go again!

0:22:07 > 0:22:10# Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgoger

0:22:10 > 0:22:12# Ychwyrndrobw

0:22:12 > 0:22:17# Llllantysiliogogogoch. #

0:22:18 > 0:22:20How much? I'll walk.

0:22:34 > 0:22:39I can't take this any more! I don't want to fight the dragon!

0:22:44 > 0:22:47'Ere, George, you're pathetic.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Why are you scared of a stupid old dragon?

0:22:49 > 0:22:54What do you mean, why am I scared of dragons? Dragons kill people.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Anyway, why am I talking to you?

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- You're an orange.- Don't you know the story of St George and Dragon?

0:23:00 > 0:23:02You should, considering you're George.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06Anyway, the fable goes, if you rub yourself with orange, then you'll

0:23:06 > 0:23:10be protected by the zesty magic and the dragon won't be able to hurt you.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Why are you rubbing an orange all over yourself?

0:23:20 > 0:23:25Because the orange said it was going to protect me from you.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28What? You don't need protecting from me. I'm not going to kill you.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30- I'm here to beat you.- Aargh!

0:23:32 > 0:23:34In the Boat Race. The Dragon Boat race.

0:23:44 > 0:23:50The team that paddles hardest and crosses the finish line first wins.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58So I'm sure they've finished rowing by now!

0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Hello, team, how are we? Nice to see you. Hello.- Nice to meet you, Joe.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Is this the dream team? This is the winning team.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Can you explain to me what dragon boat racing is all about?

0:24:09 > 0:24:12Dragon boat racing comes from China.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16It's a race that the local townsfolk used to do to celebrate the harvest.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19And hopefully we'll win, yeah, team?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Yeah!- Let's put it in there.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22One, two, three, wooo!

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Joe's team are called The Motley Crew.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Hello, fellas.- Hello.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- So, you're my team, are you?- Yes.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33The question I want to ask is what's with the drummer in each boat?

0:24:33 > 0:24:35It's meant to be for timing. So when the drum beats

0:24:35 > 0:24:38your paddle should be in the water so you can pull back.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41I was thinking I might just freestyle it, do my own thing?

0:24:41 > 0:24:44No, no, no. You got to be in time. We've got to win.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48Right, OK, pressure's on now.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Ed's team are called Boys & Waders.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53That will teach me.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55- This is it.- Yeah.- Man against boy.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56- Oh, yeah?- Boy against man.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- You're going to have a wash, Swash. - Are you ready? Let's go!

0:25:05 > 0:25:10- Peachy, don't fall in, son.- It's you that's worried about falling in.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Oh!- You nearly got an early bath there, Joe.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17- My foot's wet.- It's freezing!

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Seriously, let's not get in the water, though, yeah? Let's stay dry.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Feeling confident, are you, Joe?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Joe's team are in boat number one,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29which is good cos it will look the same if it capsizes.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Ed, you look like a natural.- Aargh!

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Come on.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46- Yeah!- Yeah!

0:25:49 > 0:25:53Three! One, two!

0:25:53 > 0:25:54One!

0:25:54 > 0:25:56They're only going up one and two.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Maybe if they went to three they would go a little bit faster.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03One, two, one, two.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07Oh no, Ed and Joe are both being followed by a giant pointing finger.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09I hope it doesn't slow them down any.

0:26:13 > 0:26:19Aarr. It's neck and neck at the moment, or paddle and paddle.

0:26:26 > 0:26:30I can't quite see who's "dragon" behind!

0:26:30 > 0:26:34I don't think anyone's "dragon" their paddles. Oh, it's great, this.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36I'm exhausted watching, though.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38It looks like Ed in boat two is just in the lead,

0:26:38 > 0:26:40but only by a dragon's breath.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44It's so close as they approached the finish line. It's too close to call.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's going to be a photo-finish.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Yeah!

0:26:48 > 0:26:54It's been given to Joe's team with a time of 60.55 seconds.

0:26:55 > 0:27:00- Don't do that, mate.- Oh, no!

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Ed was beaten by a fraction of a second,

0:27:03 > 0:27:06as his team finished in 60.97 seconds.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08OK, it gives me great pleasure

0:27:08 > 0:27:13to award the Dragon Boat Challenge Trophy to Joe for winning today.

0:27:13 > 0:27:14- Well done.- Thank you so much.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17I'd just like to take a quick moment to say thank you to my mum

0:27:17 > 0:27:20and my dad and my sisters for putting up with me...

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Yeah, all right, some of us have homes to go to, you know. Come on.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27All right, don't be jealous that I won, all right.

0:27:27 > 0:27:28Don't hold against me.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30I think you just put this on,

0:27:30 > 0:27:33just to hide your face because you let yourself down today.

0:27:33 > 0:27:38To be honest, I could do with hiding my shame. I'm sorry!

0:27:38 > 0:27:41Now he's gone, I'd just like to finish what I started.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45Thanks to everyone for being there, supporting me, you've been my rock.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47I couldn't have done it...

0:27:47 > 0:27:49You've been watching All Over The Place!
