Planes, Pits and Coracles! All Over the Place

Fancy a strange trip with your CBBC mates?

-Ed and Andy go coracle racing!'

-I might just drift for a bit.

Naomi's flying economy,

Barney's feeling a bit chilly.

And Johny shows us how good he is at hitting a ball!'

Oh!

# 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. #

Hey, Ed. Can you guess what we're doing today?

Whoosh!

Origami? Paper folding.

No! It's something to do with flying.

-Whoosh!

-Hang gliding? Not on that, surely!

Are you winding me up? Look where we are!

MUSIC: "Loop Be Loop" by the Beach Boys

# Have you ever been in an airplane?

# Up above the clouds, there's no rain. #

So, Valerie, all the planes that we can see here

were either built or flown from this site?

That's right, yes.

# Loop de loop, flip flop Flying in an aeroplane... #

They must be quite hard to clean, though?

It's a big job, yes.

We have lots of volunteers do that.

BROOM!

Can you believe these were the sort of planes people flew in 1909?

Quite small, isn't it?

It's the smallest plane in the collection.

It's cool, isn't it?

-How do you control it?

-These two levers.

-Is that it?

I don't think I'd want to try and fly this plane!

Cockpits today are a bit more complicated, aren't they?

Just a little bit!

# Loop de loop, flip flop... #

Are you supposed to be sitting in there?

Erm, I think so.

Which one's the most luxurious?

Probably, the VC10, over here.

This was the ruler of Oman's private aeroplane!

It cost £1.8 million to build,

back in the 1950s.

However, it does have one terrifying aspect.

1970s furnishings!

Wow!

This is already different to any plane I've ever been on.

Is this the bathroom?

It's massive!

Goes on forever!

Look, it's got velvet covers. What's this?

Urgh! Oh, that's the loo.

What's this? Oh, it's a bidet!

-What?!

-It's got a bidet?!

-Yeah, on an aeroplane.

-I don't even know what you use those for.

Ah! That's like a boardroom meeting table.

I don't know anyone with a table as long in their house.

Let alone in an aeroplane. I know!

-Look at the size of these chairs.

-Wow!

Well comfy.

-This is humungous!

-I could enjoy a flight, on a chair like this.

I could definitely get used to this.

Oh, there's a phone.

Shall we order something?

-POSH VOICE:

-Hello? Could we have some fizz and crisps, please?

Thank you!

This is how I ought to travel from now on.

Let's see what else is in there.

You don't get much more luxurious than carpet on a television!

Wow!

Look, a bed! With a seatbelt, look!

-Think he used to fall out of bed a lot?

-Gold buckle!

It's got absolutely everything, this bed.

I know it's from the '70s, but it's plush!

It's a massive bed! It has a massive bathroom, massive chairs.

If there was a surface you could stick a carpet on,

he'd stick a carpet on it!

-It's comfy!

-I'm staying here. Night!

Hang on a minute! What's that out there?

I'm going to have a look at that!

This is Concorde aeroplane.

-STEWARDESS VOICE:

-Ah, there you are. Where have you been?

Concorde's boarding. Have you got your tickets? Passports?

Come on. Out of the way!

Coming through!

There's been a terrible mistake.

I'm not actually going to be flying on this!

But this is the world's greatest airliner!

You'd want to fly on it, if you knew how fan-dabi-dozi it is!

I already know quite a lot about it, actually.

Oh, really?

I bet you don't know it flies faster than the speed of sound.

Yes, I did.

Oh. Well, I reckon you'd be pretty surprised if I told you

it flew at twice the speed...

..of any other aeroplane.

Oh.

Droop nose?

I beg your pardon?

Ah! Something you didn't know about it.

The nose of the aeroplane? It moves and down.

Down on the ground, so the pilot can see where he's going.

Up in the air, to make the plane more streamlined so it flies faster.

Well, everyone knows that.

-I bet you don't know how many were built.

-20.

-When it was built?

-1969.

-How many passengers you could fit on it?

-100.

The time of its record-breaking flight around the world?

31 hours, 27 minutes, and 49 seconds.

Including six fuel stops.

If you know why it's so fantastic, why don't you want to fly on it?

Because all Concordes stopped flying in 2003.

Oh!

I wondered why everyone was taking so long to board.

I'm so looking forward to meeting Cheryl Cole.

-I put this special outfit on to impress her.

-What special outfit?

-This special outfit.

-Oh, right.

She must be round here somewhere.

"Coal, this way". We're getting closer!

Hang on, Ed. I don't think Cheryl Cole spells her name that way.

I think we're at a coal mine.

I'll take this off.

'Ed and Johny,

'you have 41 seconds to find out as much as you can about the Big Pit.

'Ed, you've got Andrew, who's an ex-miner.

'Johny, you've got Sharon,

'who works here, in the Big Pit.

'Whoever finds out the most facts in 41 seconds is the winner.

'Three, two, one. Go!'

Hello, Sharon. Why is it called "the Big Pit"?

It's the width of the shaft. 5.5 metres.

What's the toughest job in a coal mine?

Being a miner, being a collier.

What's that thing over there?

It's the headgear, which winds the cages up and down.

What is coal used for?

-Fires. Steam engines, many years ago.

-Good, good!

-Have you got a souvenir shop?

-We have a very good one.

Why don't you dig a big hole? Why all this shaft business?

We need to access the coal.

My second name's Pitts. Can I get a free souvenir?

You can. Tell them when you get there.

How deep is the deepest coal mine in Wales?

Many, many metres!

It's not very specific, is it?

-What's your favourite bit about the job?

-Things like this, today.

HOOTER HONKS

You know what, Shaz? I think we did really well there.

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

'..Johny!

Yes! The Pitts knows the pits -

Ed Petrie is the pits!

I was distracted by Andrew's lovely Welsh voice(!)

Yes! Me and Sharon did it!

Yes! Finally!

Stop gloating, Johny!

Time for you and Ed to dig deeper into the story of the Big Pit.

Much deeper, in fact.

She must be very shallow!

We're going down at about six foot a second.

Sounds fast, but it's very slow.

Two-thirds of the way down, if you feel a juddering,

don't worry. It's the brakes,

so we can slow us down.

-There you go!

-That's the brakes.

JOHNY LAUGHS

That was the brakes.

OK.

See what coal looks like underground.

There's a seam of coal.

And, of course, Welsh coal is very old.

It is estimated to be 330 million years old.

-Pretty old.

-Yeah.

This is the first door. Make sure you close it behind you.

Careful, now. Mind your heads, as you come under the door.

Careful now. Mind how we're going.

Mind your head!

-It's so dark!

-I'll show you how dark it is, later on!

OK?

I'm going to shut the door. Clear off! Get out of it!

You know when you say how dark it gets down here?

Can we turn our lights off, and see?

Yeah!

Can you imagine you have a little candle?

The candle goes out.

And we're down in the dark.

Of course, when there were horses down in the mine,

there used to be thousands of rats running round, was well.

-Oh!

-Ooh!

Turn the lights back on!

There's one...

What would happen if you were down here,

and you needed the toilet?

Toilet?

If you wanted to do the toilet, you'd go back on your own.

Scratch a hole in the side of the road,

do whatever you had to do in the hole.

You bury it, walk away, and leave it.

That's how we go to the toilet in a mine. It's as easy as that.

Mind you have a good memory, as well.

Imagine going back next day, and you scratch that seam....

BOTH: Oh!

You don't want that in your sandwiches!

Almost enough to put you off your lunch, Ed. But not quite.

I'm glad it's Saturday. Six days every week, underground,

can start to wear a man down.

You're telling me. Still, last lunch of the week.

And my wife's packed a few extra treats in my tommy box.

Mine, too. Mine, too.

Of all the lunchbox owners in the land,

I think I'm the luckiest today.

Really?

She's only gone and packed my favourite cheese in a sandwich.

Bless her.

Would you believe it? I'm having cheese, too!

A lovely cheese fondue!

Great(!)

Ah, wait till you see what I've got up my sleeve for after!

A delicious apple.

Sorry, what was that?

Never mind!

Now, this is what I'm most looking forward to!

Every Welsh miner's favourite treat.

Teisen lap.

Tea-soaked fruitcake.

My wife's packed me a cake, too!

Actually, give me a hand, would you?

Say, "Cheese!"

BOTH: Caerphilly!

'Here we are, at a chilli farm.'

'I'm ready for it, Ed.

'Come on, sub-zero temperatures. I'm ready for you.'

'It's a chilli farm, as in...

'not as in...'

'Yeah, I knew that.'

MUSIC: "Hot Hot Hot" by Arrow

# Feeling hot, hot, hot! #

'Chillies have been eaten in South America since at least 7,000 BC.

'At one point, they were used as currency.'

'Ah, great! This'll save me going to the cash machine.'

'They grow about 10,000 chilli plants here.

'With around 100 different varieties.'

'I love the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.'

'What, the band?'

'No, these!'

# Feeling hot, hot, hot!

# Feeling hot, hot, hot! #

'A quick scone break.'

'Erm, would now be a good time to tell you

'that they make chilli jam here?'

BARNEY MOANS

'If Ed thinks he's getting a piece of this after the jam incident,

'he's very much mistaken.'

'Oh, and the chocolate they make here has chillies in, too.'

# Feeling hot, hot, hot #

'No use getting hot-headed now, Barney!

'This is the hottest chilli in the world, right now.

'It's called Bhut Jolokia.

'It's 400 times hotter than this hot pepper sauce.'

# Feeling hot, hot, hot

# Feeling hot, hot, hot. #

'Erm, not this time, Ed.

'I wonder what it would be like if all food was spicy?'

If all the food in the world was spicy,

then it would be really hot

to walk around, in case there was any food on the floor.

So, people would have to invent ice shoes.

Thy could have a huge brand of ice sandals, and ice heels.

But, you'd have to buy one every day.

They'd melt on the floor, cos it'd be really hot.

People would go into the ice shops to cool down once they'd had a meal,

and they'd try and lick the shoes, to cool their tongues down,

but then their tongues would get stuck to the shoes.

Johny, what would you say if I told you we're about to visit

the most successful club team in the world?

I'd probably say something like, "Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!" Who is it?

It's Liverpool, isn't it? We're going to Anfield! Excellent!

-No, no, no, no, it's...

-..Manchester United!

They're our rivals, but I like Manchester United...

Just let me finish. It's not Manchester United.

Barcelona! Oh, yes, we're going to escape this weather!

It's none of them! In fact, it's not even a football team.

-Who could it possibly be?

-Cue voiceover man!

You're at the Kingussie Shinty Club, in the Scottish Highlands.

The senior team are officially the most successful club team

in the world!

Beat that, Man United!

Shinty is like a cross between hockey, golf and tennis.

Hello. Someone told me you play for the first team?

That's right, yeah.

-We want to play shinty.

-Yes, we do.

We've got sticks. Is that what they're called?

They're called camans.

-That's quite a good effort!

-It's still rolling.

Straight line. I'm quite pleased with that!

-So, you want a penalty shoot-out?

-Yeah!

-Bring it on, to beat Petrie.

-I'll go in goal, let's go.

Ed and Johny, it's time to test your penalty-shooting skills.

You'll each have three attempts to score against Ryan.

The winner will get a lovely tray of cakes,

and the loser will get a lovely brush, to clean the smelly boots.

Ed, you're up first!

Wow! That took me by surprise!

Ryan, what did you stop it for?

Let's see if he can get another like that.

That was what I was expecting!

Oh, the mud nearly went in!

Didn't even reach the net.

HE LAUGHS

Here comes Ed again.

Yeah, that's what I was expecting.

Saved it again!

Not so much a save as a stop.

Oh!

Aw! If only the goal were a metre to the right(!)

-I'm rubbish at this game!

-Yeah, you are.

Oh, dear!

No-one has scored, and Ed has used up all his shots.

If Johny can get this in, he'll win!

Oh, come on, Ryan.

I think that was a charity case.

He's doing it for Kingussie!

This is pathetic.

It's one point.

Really?

I was so pleased to see it finally go in, I cheered...

You're both pathetic.

I wonder how much the club's worth, with that track record?

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-Hey, there! Mind if I sit down?

You must be the coach?

-SCOTTISH ACCENT:

-Aye, that's me. You wanted to watch the game?

Thanks, but I already ate.

I'm Eddie Edson III.

Multi-billionaire, and sports enthusiast.

And I want to buy the most successful sporting team

in the history of the world, ever.

The Kingussie shinty team!

What's this, some kind of high-altitude training camp

to toughen up your pampered sports stars?

No, this is our ground.

Ah, ha-ha!

Ah, you Scotch! What a great sense of humour.

No, no. Where's your stadium? It's got to be what? 85,000-seater

with an electric roof and robot cheerleaders.

Where is it? Round here somewhere?

No, this is where we play shinty,

pretty much the same way we've played it for the last 2,000 years.

Ha-ha! You kill me! You kill me!

Oh, there's an idea.

-Come on!

-Come on, lads!

We've got this one! Come on, lads!

I love it! I want to buy the whole team!

Uh...a hundred thousand million

and the use of my gold-plated shoes for a year. What do you say?

No, we're not for sale, pal.

I knew I should have bought Manchestershire United.

Excellent, boys! Brilliant!

Rrrgh!

Gahh!

Yarrgh! Uh, morning.

Why are you shouting randomly? What are you doing?

It's why I brought you here today, Andy.

I challenge you to a coracle race.

-Rrrgh!

-I've heard about that. Have you been training?

Oh yeah, I've been running up and down,

doing squat thrusts, climbing trees,

all with a coracle on my back! Rrgh!

-You know they go in the water, don't you?

-What?

-Yeah.

Coracles are a type of boat.

He's right, Ed.

It does look like a turtle shell

but it is a boat.

Keep it up, mate.

BOTH: Gerwyn!

-Hi, guys.

-We want to race coracles and apparently you're our man.

Well, we can try.

This is Gerwyn.

He's going to give the boys a lesson on how to manoeuvre a coracle.

This is the basic action, OK?

It's a sculling action. It's a figure of eight.

-Can you see how that leading edge is pointing forward?

-Yeah.

It'll pull you along.

-Can you see that? Yeah?

-Yep.

You're going backwards.

This isn't a good sculler.

Tell my mother I love her!

You can't just leave me in this thing! What do I do?

-Figure of eight! Figure of eight!

-Stop saying figure of eight!

Ed's getting rescued.

I can't wait to see what he says when he comes back in.

Thank you very much, kind canoe lady.

Thank goodness these canoeists were there

or I would be under the Severn Bridge by now.

There you go.

Oh, land. Thank you.

-You see how much that boat's leaked?

-"Figure of eight"(!)

More like Ed's in a state.

This doesn't bode well for the race later.

Let's see how Andy does.

Whoa, whoa-oh.

It is actually a bit wobbly.

That's it. You're a natural.

HE LAUGHS

How long have you been teaching people to race coracles?

-About 20 years, I suppose.

-Really?

-Yes.

They must have had some different techniques back then.

No, it's very much the same.

Just throw people into the water and hope they survive, really.

Do you know what? I might just drift for a bit!

I've just learned to drift. I might just tilt for a bit.

-He's just found out it's not so easy.

-What about turning around?

Yes, how do you turn around? Figure of eight, Andy! Figure of eight!

When he first got in, Gerwyn was all, "You're a natural."

Look at him.

He's naturally rubbish. Just like me.

Good.

In the race, we've got to cross from bank to bank.

When I got here, that looked pretty easy. It's only about 30 metres

but the river's moving everyone down this way

-so I don't know how I'm going to do this.

-Probably badly.

There's three of us in this race. Let's see who we're up against.

-David? Have you ever done this before?

-No.

-No?

-I've done coracling...

-You have done it before, then.

-Well, not in a race.

-Stop trying to make us look bad.

He's done it before. If he beats us, that's why.

OK, boys, this is the moment of truth.

Will Ed and Andy be able to scull their way successfully

across the river and back?

Get ready. And...

Go!

Right, Andy...

Say hello to the Bristol Channel, cos that's where you're going!

He is so competitive.

It's all under control!

Is it?

I think they're going on a round trip.

-Oh-ho!

-Round and round trip.

David's halfway across the river already and on his way back.

Hurry up, guys!

I'm just getting taken downstream again.

And he's there.

There we go.

-There you go where?

-Halfway there!

-Oh, look, Andy's caught up with Ed!

-Right, I'm going back.

-Halfway there.

-And this is where Ed will get really competitive.

-Uh-oh!

Come on, Andy, you can do it!

Oh, no, he's catching up with me.

OK, Ed's going to cheat soon.

Oh, no! He's gaining on me! No! No!

I've decided to completely ignore what my teacher said...

Ah, right. There we go.

..and just row it like a normal boat.

Well done, Ed! Round of applause!

Round of applause!

Ah! Do you think I've lost the race?

You might have done.

These things were invented thousands of years ago,

why aren't you people using motorboats? Times have moved on.

-Andy hasn't, though.

-Almost there!

-Yay!

-Come here, just...console me.

That was awful. I don't know what happened!

I thought I was gaining on you

-then I was just, "I've got to give up."

-You know what, though?

-We're both still dry, so we're both winners.

-Only just.

And the winner of the All Over The Place trophy is...

Is me, yeah.

If I knew that was the trophy, I'd have tried harder.

-Look at that!

-That's nice.

-Thanks, Gerwyn.

-My pleasure.

-Have you got any words of...

-Wisdom?

-Wisdom?

Uh, figure of eight.

It's all I can remember. Figure of eight.

You've been watching All Over The Place!
