# All Over The Place

# All Over The Place

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

# Me and my mates all over the place

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

# Whatever we do is strange but true

# All Over The Place

# All Over The Place

# Bet you didn't know this stuff was in the UK

# But it turns up all over the place. #

Watch your back, that's all I'm saying.

I'm worried about your cough. I can't believe you're superstitious.

-You probably think if I do this...

-No, don't!

-..It's bad luck.

Ouch!

-Pick yourself up, lad.

-My hair! My hair!

Oh, my mirror.

What have you done? You've broken a mirror.

Seven years' bad luck.

Will you stop this? If anyone's bad luck it's you, Cough Along Kid.

Don't worry about cos I'm going to cure it.

I don't think there's a cure for bad hair, Ed,

but there could be a cure for your bad luck and Johny's cough

here at the Clootie Well, near Inverness.

-This is a clootie well.

-This is really weird.

-It's mad, isn't it?

Hey, look, Johny, someone's put a Scotland football scarf here.

-Oh, yeah.

-I suppose they hope it will give them good luck.

-As an England fan, I really hope it works for them.

-Oh, harsh.

Oh, I appear to be standing on a pair of pants.

As a Scotland fan, I have to agree, sometimes we are a bit pants.

I'm going to put my trust in it.

I'm going to put my handkerchief on one of these branches here.

That's a very frilly hanky you have there, Johny.

Don't go there. Mum bought it for her special little boy.

OK.

This is going to cure me of all my illness.

Brilliant.

Ed, with all your bad luck, recently, there's a well here.

-Apparently the well brings good luck.

-If it will shut you up.

-Yeah?

I'll get in the well.

-Woah!

-Are you OK?! See?

All your bad luck.

-That's nothing to do with bad luck.

-It was!

Even for those wearing slippy trainers.

One...

Two...

Three!

Right, water.

Right, come on, then, Ed.

-Make a wish.

-Oh, yeah.

OK, it involves swimming pools, a home cinema

and a big plate of cakes.

Right, that's it. All of your wishes will come true.

Well, I feel well-exercised anyway.

When was the last time I coughed?

When we came here I thought I was going to have to get an ambulance.

This clootie well works!

You've got me convinced.

You had a cough, now you haven't. That's proof.

I always look after my friends,

and to think you doubted me, that really hurt.

Sorry, mate. Oh, Johny, you dropped your...

"fast-acting cough sweets".

Johny! No-one makes a monkey out of Ed Petrie.

-This is going in the

-CLOUT-IE

-well when I'm through!

If you like collecting strange things, you're going to love this.

UPPER CLASS ACCENT: We're here to visit the Lawnmower Museum.

We're here to see the Lawnmower Museum.

That's the Lawnmower Museum.

If you're wondering why we're dressed like this,

it is because it contains Prince Charles' very own lawnmower.

Well, let's go inside and find out more.

-Where are the lawnmowers?

-They're everywhere.

-Ha-ha(!)

I was joking, they're everywhere.

Yep, there's one.

There's another one.

I wonder if Brian every tries to mow his green carpet? Perhaps not.

-What's so good?

-It was one of the first water-cooled engines.

-It will also boil an egg.

-It's an egg cup.

You boil your egg, have a nibble and then off you go to mow your lawn.

-Can we have a look around?

-OK.

All right, it's time to play I'm A Celebrity, Cut My Grass.

-Do you love lawnmowers?

-Do I?!

-Well, you're in the right place.

Now, some of the lawnmowers here

were donated to Brian by actual celebrities.

We want you to match the mower!

Who do you think this used to belong to? Was it...

Well, I mean, leopard skin's really in this season and...

I'm going to go with Gaga.

Let's see if you're right.

Oooh!

I'm sorry, that answer is in the compost bin. It's Paul O'Grady.

Who used to cut the grass with this cheeky little number? Was it...

-Richard and Judy.

-No, we just have to find out now.

Obviously, Richard and Judy.

-That's right! Richard and Judy!

-Yes.

Who would ride on a machine like this?

Is it Geordie princess Cheryl Cole

or His Royal Highness Prince Charles?

-Think carefully now.

-Well, it is tough, Ed.

I can imagine that Cheryl might have bought this

when she was married to Ashley to do the football pitch,

but on the other hand, this machine stinks of royalty.

I'm going to go with Prince Charles.

Let's see if you're right.

That's right. I've finally found Prince Charles' lawnmower.

Now, let's see what she's won.

-She's won a lawnmower!

-Where is it?

It's here. Swedish, solar-powered and state-of-the-art.

-Ed, that doesn't look like a lawnmower.

-It is.

It looks like it's something that has fallen off a UFO.

Don't be silly, aliens don't cut grass.

Or do they?

So, are we just going to say "hello"?

Febulon, we've travelled 4 million light years to find Earth.

Do you honestly think that the humans

are going to speak the same language as us?

Honestly, sometimes you're a complete flaxawelliebob.

You take that back!

No, We need to find a better method of communication,

-such as music or a strange sequence of lights.

-I've got an idea.

BEEPING

Da-da!

I feel underwhelmed.

We could visit the areas of the Earth where

the grass is long, such as wheat fields.

Then we could use this to cut symbols into the crops,

allowing us to communicate.

I'm an earthling, calling other earthlings.

These are called crop circles.

So what do you think?

-Let's do it!

-Brilliant!

Right, all we need is a landing spot and an extension lead.

Oh-oh.

What?

I forgot the plug!

Well, thank you so much.

-This has been a

-MOWEST

-interesting day.

-It nearly works.

-Cut it out, Holly, that's terrible.

Brian, to say thank you, we got you this All Over The Place lawnmower.

We were worried you might not have enough.

All we want in exchange is this priceless 1920 antique one.

-See you later, bye.

-Er, er...

Greetings, people of Earth.

You may be thinking that the person talking right now is

CBBC presenter, Ed Petrie.

Ha, ha, you fools! I have, in fact, been disguised as him

for the last few months and years in order to provide cover so that I can

build a fearsome machine,

capable of wiping you off the face of the Earth!

Ha, ha! May I introduce you to my fearsome weapon -

the Poopoo 5,000.

Each pod contains a missile

capable of destroying a city the size of Bognor Regis.

And unless you send me

all the football sticker albums in the world. I will...

Hang on, hang on. What's going on here?

You don't look anything like me.

Your nose is too big and your legs are too skinny.

And that's not going to destroy the world,

that's the Thames Barrier.

I knew that wasn't the real Ed. The nose is far too small.

Ed and Ed, you have 37 seconds to find out as much as you can

about the Thames Barrier.

Ed, you have Tim, who knows how it works. And Ed, you have Steve,

who knows about its history.

Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner. 3, 2, 1, go!

This is Steve. He's got a bad leg,

but he's so dedicated to his job that he's still come in.

Right, Steve, the Thames Barrier, who had the idea first?

It was the Government's idea.

How does it work? How does it stop it flooding?

It has ten gates and it's powered by hydraulic systems.

-How long did it take to build ?

-Eight years.

-How many times has it been used?

-We've used it 119 times to date.

-How much did it cost?

-£535 million.

-Wow, that is a lot of money.

Is it likely they'll have to use it more and more with global warming?

Yes, we think we will have to use it more with the icecaps receding

and the global warming.

-HOOTER BLARES

-Stop!

And...

The...

Winner...

Is...

-Ed!

-Yes!

-Yeah! Wayhey!

-It's me, isn't it?

-Yeah!

-Way-hey.

-It is me.

-It's me!

You fight it out amongst yourselves, Ed.

The time has come to have a look inside.

It's a bit wet down here.

Tim's brought me into one of the tunnels that run right down under the barrier.

We're trying to get to Pier Six,

which is one of those metal things right in the middle.

I think we're a bit lost. Tim?

This place is much bigger and much more intricate

than I realised from the outside.

I can see why it cost so much money to build, it seems to go on forever.

I didn't realise there would be all of these steps.

Right, let's catch up with Tim.

-I'm quite disorientated now, where are we?

-This is the deepest point.

The Thames Barrier is as deep as four double-decker buses

stacked on top of one another.

This tunnel takes you all the way to East London.

So if we keep on walking down here, I can go to Albert Square?

Finally, going up.

Wow!

So, is this the biggest barrier like it in the world?

Yes, this is the second largest barrier in the world,

-second to the one in Holland.

-Ah, that one in Holland.

I did wonder. It takes 15 minutes to close the barrier.

So, we'll be alright, as long as we don't get a 14-minute warning.

-Wow! What is this place?

-Don't you recognise it? This is flooded London.

Oh, right. Yes.

Well, it looks just like it does on the old postcards,

except covered in water.

Look over there.

That's the Palace of Westminster clock tower. It's home to

the world's smallest bell, Little Ben.

Eh? Don't you mean Big Ben?

-No, they don't use it anymore, it has rust all over it.

-Fair enough.

I hadn't thought about that. Oh, look, cucumber.

No! That building's called the Gherkin.

That over there, that's St Paul's cathedral.

Finally, we're here at one of my favourite London landmarks.

It's the incredible, Thames flood barrier.

Oh, well, that worked well, didn't it?

What do you mean? It worked perfectly.

Well, how come London's under water?

Well, it wasn't their fault, it was Ted Longdridge.

-Who's Ted Longdridge?

-He's the guy that left the tap on.

-What became of Ted Longdridge?

-Well, he died of shock.

Oh, dear. What, when he realised he had flooded London?

No, when his water bill came through.

Well, it's nice to be in Liverpool. Liverpool is, of course, the home to two Premiership football teams

and the Beatles. But there is more to this place than just football

and the Beatles, isn't that right, Ed?

-That's right.

-This place has the great Chinese arch. Cue the music!

# The Chinese arch is the subject of the song

# But somewhere along the line you've got it wrong

# Now the theme is completely ruined

# What on earth do you think you were doing?

# It's half an Everton kit and half of Liverpool

# A wig like a Beatle's haircut too

# But now we've got the whole song before us

# Since you've kind of utterly spoiled the chorus

# Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

# There's more to Liverpool

# Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

# Than the Beatles and football!

-That doesn't work with me, dressed like this.

-No? Really?

We'll just have to do the best we can.

# Liverpool was twinned with Shanghai in China

# And the arch was devised by Chinese designers

# To stand proudly on the piece of ground

# Which marks the edges to Chinatown

# Let me take this opportunity to remind you

# It's the biggest Chinese arch outside of mainland China

# It's mighty impressive, you have to admit

# I'm feeling really stupid in this football kit

# Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

# There's more to Liverpool

# Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

# Than the Beatles and football

You would say if I was spoiling this, wouldn't you?

-You're spoiling it!

-Oh.

It was brought from China, bit by bit.

And 20 Chinese workers stayed to build it.

It stands at over 15 metres tall.

And there's 200 dragons on it an' all.

# It's protected by two bronze lions, you see

# Who are placed according to the laws of feng shui

That should keep the local people lucky, if I'm right.

So how come Everton lost on Tuesday night?

Seriously, shut up about football!

# Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

# There's more to Liverpool

# Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

# Than Premiership football

# And John, George, Ringo and Paul Ooh. #

Greetings, Blarg.

Shall we go on our holiday?

-Where, Trafigon 9?

-No,

I meant Sutton. It could make a nice change.

Oh, no. The weather's not good there.

What about Earth?

What are the dominant species on Earth?

Uh... TV presenters, I believe.

Let's just take a closer look.

Ed, do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?

Yeah, sometimes, but if there is someone

out there watching us, I reckon this might help us find out about them.

What's that?

-Lovely.

-It is lovely and it's also...

If it's steerable, it must mean it has wheels. Surely that hasn't confused anyone, has it?

-OK, I'm confused. Why has the telescope got wheels?

-Yeah, it's not going anywhere.

-Yeah.

The whole telescope is turning all the

time, the reason it has to do that is because the earth is spinning.

So actually what is happening is as the earth spins round,

everything moves around the sky.

So this telescope is pointed at some object way off in space, and it has

to follow that object across the sky as the earth spins around.

To do that, the telescope itself has to constantly turn.

You may think it looks like a giant TV satellite dish, but the telescope receives radio waves from space.

-Where is the bit that I look through?

-It is not the sort of telescope that you put your eye to the back of.

-It picks up invisible radio waves.

-So what do you do with them once you have got them?

What happens is that they are sort of coming in from space up there. They are hitting that massive ball.

That collects so many of them over that huge area.

It gathers them together at the focus at the top of that tower,

then it turns them into an electrical signal.

It is that electrical signal that we can turn it into sounds

or pictures, and we can see this sort of invisible universe.

This telescope has played a very important part in space research.

I think we should go inside and find out more.

-What is that?

-That's just the sound of space.

The sound of the radio waves arriving from space.

-That is going on all the time?

-That is going on all the time.

What we did do back in the '60s, we pointed the radio telescope in a

particular direction, instead of hearing that sound, this is what we heard.

THUMPING

-What's that?! Is that an alien?!

-That's exactly what they thought.

They actually were worried that what they had picked up was sound from aliens as it is so artificial.

So they gave it a name, they called that object LGM 1, Little Green Man 1.

So they really thought it could be aliens? So what is it?

It's stars that have exploded.

The middle bit of the star collapses in on itself.

It makes a star about the size of a city.

It spins around, it shoots out radio waves from its pulls and as it spins it is like a lighthouse,

-it sort of spins around and you hear this, "Du, du, du, du."

-I reckon that could be number one.

Yeah, it's just a big party out there isn't it?

-Yeah.

-These are the sounds that you have got from the telescope, what pictures have you got?

This photo was the first photo ever to be sent back from the surface of the moon.

It was taken with a Russian spacecraft that landed on the moon.

They took that photograph and turned it into radio waves and sent

it back to earth, because the radio waves travel at the speed of light.

So the Russians were beaming this back, but you picked up on this?

They were sending it back to Russia.

We sort of eavesdropped on the signal and picked up that signal.

-So you nicked their picture?

-Basically.

-Yeah. Yeah.

You naughty scientist!

But it was the first picture ever taken from the surface of the moon.

-Wow, we've seen some amazing stuff.

-Yeah, I've learned a lot.

-It doesn't look like they've proved aliens exist, though.

-No, I don't think they do, Ed.

-No, I don't think anyone was looking at us earlier.

-No.

-Ed, I feel a bit weird.

-Yeah, me too.

Ed, this place is beautiful!

Look at that! Ed, open your eyes.

-No!

-We're not even that high, we're only 28 metres above the ground!

-Look around you!

-No!

-Ed, that's 13 giant pandas on top of each other, think about it, that's not high!

Will you stop talking about the height of things?!

If this was dangerous, do you really think they would let 250,000 tourists cross every year?

-Yeah, well, they're all mad!

-You're mad!

What's the worst that could happen? We're over the sea, you would fall into the sea, you love the sea!

You already said yesterday how much you enjoyed fish and chips!

I don't want to fall into the sea! I can't imagine anything worse than being in the sea right now!

What?! I can't think of anything better. I'd love to live in the sea!

In fact, I wonder what it would be like to live in the sea?

I couldn't give a monkeys!

If I lived underwater, I would like to have gills, a giant mouth,

and I would like to have fins and seaweed sunglasses, and we'd all

live in hotels with mermaids and they would eat jelly

and fish fingers and they wouldn't have radios,

but they could tuna fish. In order to get around, we would have to ride on the back of a whale.

Silly people would eat electric eels and electrocute themselves.

SHE HUMS

-The Rikishi is within me.

-You had some bad sushi or something?

No, Ed, it means the spirit of a sumo wrestler.

You should get it inside you, too, because we have to go and do some sumo athletics now.

Yes, you heard right.

Go, Holly! Wooh!

-I think I absolutely nailed that.

-I think Holly might be out already.

-Are you out already?

-I hope so, because this is very comfortable.

She's not out, you each get three goes.

My lucky head band came off. That is probably why I didn't clear it.

Yeah, that will be why, Ed!

This is an absolute all-time low.

All right, get up! Get up, just stand up!

Ed giving a new meaning to the belly flop.

Hey, well done, Holly!

Personal best!

That will be the low jump, then.

What's the Japanese word for rubbish? Anyone? Anyone know?

Somehow Ed's inched ahead after the high jump.

Holly is doing her tortoise impression again.

You've got to land feet first and you're not allowed to lift

your costume up like you were in the high jump.

You have to have your hands up in the air.

I also need a wee!

This suit is not very accommodating, so I'm going to hold it in for a while.

Holly is showing what a pushover she is.

Ed with a great run-up.

At least he's managed to land in the sand.

Thank you.

Ed getting a hand from the officials.

You want to see the look on Holly Walsh's face when she's running up to the board.

-Take a long, hard look.

-It's a very attractive look, like this.

That is the look of concentration.

Concentrate, Holly, concentrate, and jump, jump, jump, jump! Definitely improving.

Ed, however, seems to be getting worse.

How am I supposed to get up?

There's two centimetres between us, apparently.

-What? In our jumps?

-Yeah, this is the decider.

That's got to be a personal best, the best laugh of the day!

One metre 70.

That's taller than me!

Look at the wobble in that tummy. Great take off, terrible landing!

I got 3.10. The world record is four metres.

I'm quite pleased with 3.10.

Still friends with one final event to go, the 400m.

Now, running is one of the only sports I'm actually any good at, so

I might see if I can break the record. It can't be that difficult.

I'm determined to have the mindset of Usain Bolt, you mark my words.

And they're off!

Ed followed by a giant hand, Holly, too.

Ed slightly in the lead.

Well, quite a bit in the lead, actually.

Does this remind anyone else of their dad at sports day?

-Yes!

-Yes! And he's done it.

-First place.

-That was horrible!

Look at where Holly is.

Bringing up the rear, it's Holly.

Come on, you can do it, yes!

Let's have a replay of Ed and Holly's best bits.

The high jump...

The long jump...

And, of course, the 400 metres.

Time for the medal ceremony.

Commiserations, Holly, you didn't win today.

Ed, it gives me great pleasure to pronounce you the winner, well done.

Thank you! Thank you!

Yes, that is right, I am the winner!

I would like to say a few more words of thanks.

I would like to thank the bakery on my local

High Street for all the cakes and pies that I've been eating over the last few weeks and months...

You've been watching All Over The Place!
