0:00:02 > 0:00:04Standby for the UK's strangest road trip.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Ed and Iain go pedal-car racing.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Thar be Chris, looking for buried treasure, ar!
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Rani dodges fireballs,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Barney's dressed as a pigeon
0:00:14 > 0:00:17and Naomi and Ed are dressed to impress!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21# All over the place
0:00:22 > 0:00:24# All over the place
0:00:25 > 0:00:27# North, south, east, west On a bizarre quest
0:00:27 > 0:00:29# Me and my mates, all over the place!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd
0:00:32 > 0:00:35# Whatever we do is strange but true!
0:00:35 > 0:00:36# All over the place
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# All over the place
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# Bet you didn't know this stuff was in the UK
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- # But it turns up... - # ..all over the place! #
0:00:47 > 0:00:48Rani, when you invited me
0:00:48 > 0:00:51to Warwick Castle I thought it'd be a nice day out.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Erm, it is a nice day out, I promise, Ed.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Why do massive objects keep falling on us?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Look, it's raining cats and dogs now.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- Does Warwick Castle have its own micro-climate?- It doesn't!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- We've just arrived at the wrong time. - Wrong time for what?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Oh, come on! I know pigs can't fly.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- What's going on?- Oh!- Ooh!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29What can I tell you about it?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31It's made of wood.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Ed and Rani, you each have 41 seconds
0:01:48 > 0:01:52to find out as many facts as you can about the trebuchet!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Ed, you have Adam, who is a trebuchet master,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Rani, you've got Luke who knows all about this contraption.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Three - two - one... GO!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Hello, Adam, am I pronouncing this right - treebuchet?!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09No, it's trebuchet. It's French.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10- How tall is it?- 80 metres tall.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- What does it mean? - To go over the top of things.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Why don't they call it that?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It's too long-winded. Trebuchet sounds cool!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- What's it made out of? - English oak.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- What do they use them for? - To throw things over castle walls.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- What things?- Anything!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Rocks, fire, pigs' heads, cows, anything.- Cows!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Have you ever fired yourself out of it?- No!
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- Would you do it?- Maybe!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Can I build one myself at home?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yes, you can, but only very small, though.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- What about painting it?- We paint it red in the colour of Warwick.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OUT-OF-TIME BUZZER I like it!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Oh! That's our time up. Have we done enough to win it?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48And the person who found out the most facts is...
0:02:48 > 0:02:53- Ed!- Oh, fantastic. I'm going to celebrate in a medieval way.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- How?- I'll eat some swan, stick an apple in a pig's mouth,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00and then get a closer look at this.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04And who better to show you than the man who helped you win
0:03:04 > 0:03:06the challenge - the Trebmaster?!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Hi, Ed, I think you'll need these. - Ah, yes, good.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Will I be standing at the side, shouting instructions, being manly?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Uh...not really. I'll be shouting and you'll be in the wheel!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- What?!- Yeah, weren't you told?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Ha! Ed, you will be in this giant hamster wheel which winds up
0:03:24 > 0:03:27the arm of the trebuchet,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31so when a catch is released, it can fire things very far and very fast.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36- I get to find out what it's like to be a hamster.- Keep looking sideways.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Raaarr!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- This feels weird.- You OK?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's like walking up a hill and not getting anywhere.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46SHOUTING
0:03:46 > 0:03:50And hold!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Better do as he says.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Just been asked to clear the machine.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Come on!- Don't think they trust me to do the whole thing.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Hold!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Looks like we're loading it up with the flaming ball of fire!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06This is brilliant.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09That's a medieval walkie-talkie he's got there.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11That's it, we've got word.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Adam can't shout this far. The fireball is coming.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:04:19 > 0:04:23You can tell Adam is a man who loves his job.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24HE SHOUTS ORDERS
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Woo-hoo-ha!
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Ha-ha!- Did you hear that?!
0:04:37 > 0:04:39That was just amazing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41CHEERING
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Did you see that?!- Amazing! - Awesome!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I could hear it all the way back. It went shoooosh!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I helped throw a flaming ball of fire through the sky.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I thought it was coming right at me.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06I've just been sick in my own mouth!
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I wonder what it was like for the people on the receiving end?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Er!- John.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I tell you, ever since they got that trebuchet,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20the Duke's army's been firing missiles morning, noon and night.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24I know. It wasn't so bad when they were just firing rocks.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Now with that new catapult, it's getting ridiculous.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28You're telling me.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I was on duty here yesterday, guess what they were firing at us?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Manure!- Eurgh.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I stank like Friar Tuck's Y-fronts.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I reckon they're running out of ammunition. They've nothing left.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Hold up. Incoming!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- CHEERING - Look at this!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48BANG-BANG
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- They're firing bread.- Is that all you've got left, peasants!
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Perfect, they're throwing their lunch at us.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- There's...- Hey, that's butter.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02We could have a quick snack break. We've got bread, butter.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05All we need now is something to drink.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Here, got any milk?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Look, they're bringing out a cow.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13They're going to milk it!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Er, John. I don't think that's what they're doing.- Eh?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- MOOING AND CHEERING - RUN!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Incoming cow!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Aaaah!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- BOTH:- Fire! Fire! Fire! There's a fire!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I've worked here, off and on, since I was nine.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Aw! Which are the top attractions?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21The house on fire, obviously, that's good. The fairground,
0:07:21 > 0:07:23colourful, lots of things moving.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28Lots of movement, to catch people's eyes so they go round again
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and have a careful look.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Does this control the trains?- Yes.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- I have to have a go! - Go on, Ed.- Get out of the way!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- LAUGHTER - What happens if I pull this?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That'll start a train in the station down there.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Here it goes. Here we go!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Aw! - I'm actually operating the trains!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Aw!- They're only that big, but still.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00She doesn't look happy.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- I'm not surprised - cleaning windows all day!- Oh, yeah.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Surprised her arm hasn't fallen off.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- She's having a better time than this guy.- Oh, yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10He keeps having accidents.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- His wife'll ask how his day was and he'll say, "Oh, not great."- "Awful!"
0:08:13 > 0:08:16"Had an accident for 12 hours."
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We have seen some brilliant models here today
0:08:22 > 0:08:26but I wonder who is Bekonscot's next top model?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Let's meet our first mystery model.
0:08:39 > 0:08:45She's an author, the writer of Noddy and her name is Enid Blyton.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49# Cos your beautiful - drop dead - beautiful - drop dead... #
0:08:51 > 0:08:54The theme for the shoot is Writer
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and she certainly looks it in this shot.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- It's definitely her best yet. - Oh, yeah!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03# Baby, you light up my world like nobody else! #
0:09:03 > 0:09:07He looks like a young Bob the Builder in this shot.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Yeah, he's totally rocking the builder pose in this shot.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17The theme for this shoot is Traditional English Dancers.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Look at the way they get behind those poses!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22That would look absolutely fabulous on the catwalk.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24But a decision has been made.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29And Bekonscot's next top model is...
0:09:32 > 0:09:34..the morris dancers!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Look, Ed McPherson, there's more morris dancers over there.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42FOLK MUSIC PLAYS
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I'm getting bored of morris dancing all the time.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You're right, Maurice,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- there's got to be a way to combine it with other jobs.- Exactly!
0:09:52 > 0:09:53This is more like it -
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- a bit of manual labour. - Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Stick the radio on, will you?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01FOLK MUSIC PLAYS
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Oi! Not again, you two! You're sacked, get off!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19As this professional morris dancing snooker player
0:10:19 > 0:10:20surveys the table,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22he knows it's the shot which could decide
0:10:22 > 0:10:25the Model Village Championship.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28BELLS TINKLE
0:10:28 > 0:10:31FOLK MUSIC STARTS
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Oh, dear, and it looks like we're in for a long night.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41We've got ages till the next plane arrives.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44We can't mess up working as airport runway guys.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49So, let's get a quick dance out of the way before the next plane.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Great idea. That way we'll avoid anything going wrong.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56FOLK MUSIC STARTS
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Hey! You're going the wrong way! Stop!- Stop!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I'd like to point something out to you.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17This is a massive hand sculpture in Cambridgeshire.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21It was designed by a student in 2007 and represents
0:11:21 > 0:11:24the great impact people have on our fragile Earth.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30It stands 4.5 metres high, which is the same height as around -
0:11:30 > 0:11:3340 fizzy drink cans placed on top of each other...
0:11:34 > 0:11:38..which is handy cos it's covered in 3,000 of them -
0:11:38 > 0:11:42recycled by people in the Cambridgeshire area.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I think they all deserve...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46a big hand!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Eh?! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I wonder what it'd be like if we all had giant hands?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57If we all had giant hands, then your hand would be bigger
0:11:57 > 0:11:59than your face, wouldn't it?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03People couldn't pick their noses cos their hands are too big!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06If you were at a concert and clapping that loud,
0:12:06 > 0:12:07it'd blow someone off the stage.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12You could put your hand up and they'd see it cos it's that big,
0:12:12 > 0:12:13and then high five it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16You wouldn't need a tennis racquet,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19you'd just use your hand to hit the ball.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24It would be good to be a goalie, so then, big hands.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Yeah, just flap the balls everywhere. Like flap, flap, flap.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Ed, stop being such a stick-in-the-mud.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I am stuck in the mud! When you said hunting for treasure,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I thought you meant the Caribbean, not the banks of the Thames.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Just think - all that history, beneath our boots.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51How do we find it? Have we got a map? No!
0:12:51 > 0:12:55It's the most badly organised pirate expedition I've ever been on.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57We could ask that fella. Coo-ee!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Oh! Ahoy, me heartie!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04This is Mike, and he's a mudlarker.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06A mudlark is someone who
0:13:06 > 0:13:09rummages on muddy river banks looking for ancient stuff.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12If the tide comes in quickly you could drown,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16so it's only experts like Mike who are allowed to lark about.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18You hear that, landlubbers?! Ahoy, Mike,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20have you found any buried treasure?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I think you can stop, we don't want to scare the man.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Right, sorry.- What's that, Mike? Any buried treasure?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Treasure - if you like.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31This is a Victorian candle-snuffer.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh, how old's that, then?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Ooh, 200-250 years old. - Get out of here!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Nope, it is. For snuffing out your candles.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Mudlarking has taken place on the River Thames for over 150 years.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49This is all the stuff you found in the mud of the River Thames?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Yep, it's quite typical of the kind of things you can find.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57We start off with a Victorian toothbrush. Missing its handle.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Wow! They must've had big mouths in those days.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Couldn't fit that in my mouth! - Ha-ha!
0:14:02 > 0:14:05What about that thing with the funny face on?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Ah! That's a Tudor witch bottle.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11If a witch puts a curse on you, you wee in the bottle.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13You drop pins into the bottom, then you cork it up,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16and throw it into the mud at the bottom of the river.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Then the witch couldn't go to the toilet until she'd lift the curse
0:14:20 > 0:14:23or found the bottle in the mud, takes the cork out,
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- pours out your wee.- Right.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- And retrieves the pins. - So it's like an old-fashioned ASBO.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Ha! You could look at it that way.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33What's this coin here?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35That's a Tudor penny.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Ooh, brilliant.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Queen Elizabeth I on there.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- So it's about 500 years old? - Yep, thereabouts.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Well, that's enough scintillating chat for now
0:14:46 > 0:14:49because it's time to play...
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You must abide by these two rules.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Rule One you can only dig with your hands.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Rule Two you must each find an object.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00The rarest, oldest and most unusual object wins.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Mike will be the judge, and the winner gets a special prize.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Mudlarkers, are you ready?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Let's go!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Mud that preserves things.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21This'll help me keep my youthful good looks.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24You do know that 39 million tonnes of sewage
0:15:24 > 0:15:26is dumped in the Thames each year?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Aaaah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Aaaaah! Aaaaah!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Gold! Is it gold?!
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Ohhh...that's my pirate earring!
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Graaaah! This'll definitely beat Chris.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Look at that! It's blue and white. I've got another piece similar.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Maybe it's from the same thing.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51This is actually amazing. I found all this in less than a minute,
0:15:51 > 0:15:55in about three metres square. There's so much stuff down here.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- This is very nice. - Ed has found a clay pipe...
0:16:03 > 0:16:04Chris has found pieces of a...
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Let's see who wins this one.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I think the prize has got to go to Ed.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16And his 17th century pipe.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17My 400-year-old pipe.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- And there's your prize.- Thank you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- It's a mud bath.- Ohhhhh!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37So here we are in the beautiful village of Carnlough.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40The home of a very famous and decorated World War II hero
0:16:40 > 0:16:41called Paddy.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Yep, and today's song is in his honour, isn't it?- Certainly is.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Can I be the decorated World War II hero, please?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Oh, go on, then.- Yeah, result!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Paddy was awarded a medal for his bravery when he took part
0:16:53 > 0:16:56in the D-Day landings, in a mission codenamed U2.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Like the band. Obviously, the codename is like the band, not...
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- not the D-Day landings. U2 weren't there.- No, they didn't.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05So in honour of Paddy and his U2 mission
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I thought I'd dress up as Bono. You see - voila!
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- I'm Bono.- You look the part. Look at that.- You can be Paddy.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Can't wait. I'll go and get changed.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Paddy was a pigeon, wasn't he?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Yes. Yes, he was.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- "Coo" the music! Get it, "coo" the music?- Yeah, hilarious.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27# Paddy the pigeon!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31# Coo-oo! Coo-oo!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33# Coo-oo!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38# Way back in 1944
0:17:38 > 0:17:42# At the height of the fighting of the Second World War
0:17:42 > 0:17:46# Pigeons considered the right disposition
0:17:46 > 0:17:50# Were trained to carry out top-secret missions
0:17:50 > 0:17:53# Why? Cos these clever birds show
0:17:53 > 0:17:56# Wherever you release them
0:17:56 > 0:17:58# They could find their way home
0:17:58 > 0:18:02# And Paddy from Carnlough was one of the best
0:18:02 > 0:18:05# And so the Royal Air Force put him to the test
0:18:05 > 0:18:09# Coo-oo! Coo-oo!
0:18:09 > 0:18:13# Trained here by his owner for the wartime task
0:18:13 > 0:18:17# Coo-oo! Coo-oo!
0:18:17 > 0:18:21# For a simple little pigeon that's a pretty big ask
0:18:21 > 0:18:25# I know this all sounds a tiny bit barmy
0:18:25 > 0:18:28# But he invaded France with the Allied Army
0:18:28 > 0:18:32# And with coded information about how far they'd got
0:18:32 > 0:18:36# He flew back to Britain, as quick as a shot
0:18:36 > 0:18:40# Dodging bullets and hawks, old Paddy was nifty
0:18:40 > 0:18:44# Flying 230 miles in just four hours 50
0:18:44 > 0:18:48# This was the fastest time ever recorded
0:18:48 > 0:18:52# And for his brave efforts the pigeon was rewarded!
0:18:53 > 0:18:55# Coo-oo
0:18:55 > 0:18:57# Coo-oo
0:18:57 > 0:19:00# He flew so fearless over land and sea
0:19:00 > 0:19:03# Coo-oo coo-oo
0:19:03 > 0:19:07# He got the Dickin Medal for gallantry
0:19:07 > 0:19:11# Here to Carnlough Paddy retired
0:19:11 > 0:19:15# And in 1954 he sadly expired
0:19:15 > 0:19:19# His marvellous achievements continued to be hailed
0:19:19 > 0:19:23# As recently this memorial plaque was unveiled. #
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It looks nothing like me.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30# Coo-oo! Coo-oo!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33# The bravest pigeon Northern Ireland's ever known!
0:19:33 > 0:19:37# Coo-oo! Coo-oo!
0:19:37 > 0:19:41# He only knew one thing and that was the way home
0:19:41 > 0:19:45# Coo-oo! Coo-oo!
0:19:45 > 0:19:50# I know getting a medal's very cool indeed
0:19:50 > 0:19:53# Coo-oo! Coo-oo! #
0:19:53 > 0:19:56But wouldn't he have preferred, like, a sack of birdseed?
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Nice wheels, Ed.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Yeah, I thought I'd ditch the Mini and go for something more sporty.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- More racy.- Yes, it's fast, mate. Speedy. Action-packed.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22You're not wrong.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Just need somewhere to race it now.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27We are in Hampshire. There's a race on today.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28- Really?- Yeah!
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Let's go!- Let's go! Where do I...
0:20:31 > 0:20:34sit in it though, cos I'll need to...?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Ed, I'll probably... Ed?!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55The winner is the team
0:20:55 > 0:20:59who has completed the most one-kilometre laps...
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Ed and Iain, time to meet your teams.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- I am Team Phoenix, am I right?- Yes. - Good.- And I'm on the Round Table?
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- Yes, you are.- These are our humble steeds, I believe.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11- Yeah.- Mighty chariots.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I don't have to cycle this whole thing on my own, do I?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21No, it's OK, you've another three team members.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Good. OK, then.- Go, go, go!
0:21:24 > 0:21:26The teams have very different tactics.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41You'll race against 50 other teams,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43so you need to pedal for your winner's medal.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- We should check out the competition. - Good idea, Petrie. Look at this!
0:21:48 > 0:21:50And this is real competition.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- It looks a bit Gothic. - Very aerodynamic, isn't it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Yeah.- Just checking for hidden engines, cheats never prosper.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00What's this for?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- So he can reach the pedals.- Are you too small to reach the pedals?!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Also probably padding for the bum? - Yeah.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08D'you think I'm going to get a sore bum on this bike?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Yeah. - I'll be walking like this...
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Yeah.- I might keep this, guys.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16See you later, bye! See you!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28I'm starting to get worried
0:22:28 > 0:22:31cos I found out my team did very badly last year.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Like Lewis Hamilton,
0:22:32 > 0:22:37if Lewis Hamilton drove what is essentially a tin bath on wheels.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Just look - Ed is the only one not in the car.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Everyone else is obeying the rules
0:22:42 > 0:22:45and he's in the pits acting like an idiot.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49He's being immature.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54IAIN LAUGHS
0:22:56 > 0:22:59If you're going to roll about on the floor in a public place,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01wear longer shorts next time.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I'm so nervous.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11And they're off!
0:23:11 > 0:23:15The team that completes the most laps in two hours is the winner,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18but each four-person team has different tactics
0:23:18 > 0:23:24so will it be Ed or Iain that gets pedal car-ried away?
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Aaaaah!
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Ed gets off to a good start.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33But Iain is matching him it's neck and neck in the early stages.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Whoo!- Some of these are going really fast!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Whoa!
0:23:41 > 0:23:43This is exhausting.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49And it's Ed first into the pit.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Sorry, wrong way round.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Ah! It's exhausting.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Argh, luckily we're doing a maximum of two laps.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I think Iain's going 15 minutes, he'll be tired... There he goes!
0:24:04 > 0:24:08And while Ed takes a break, Iain keeps on going.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Water! My legs feel like they're on fire.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Iain's feeling tired so they're bringing him in early. Mee-mee-mee.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32CHEERING AND SHOUTING
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- Ah, my legs!- How are the legs?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Aaaargh! Aaaaargh! - How are the quads?- I can't walk!
0:24:41 > 0:24:46And oh, we have some early race updates just coming through.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49I've just been reliably informed that after the first few laps,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51and my "terrible" 15 minutes,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53erm, our team is ahead of your team.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- How many laps have you done? - I don't know but we're ahead.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Oi, less of the bickering and more of the racing, you two!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02This race won't win itself, you know.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Eat my dust!
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Things come to a grinding halt for Team Petrie
0:25:20 > 0:25:23eat my dust indeed, could this cost him the race?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Thank you.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42You reckon? Time to change drivers before you break anything else, Ed.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Does anyone know how we're doing?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46The latest news is that you're one lap behind, Ed,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50so if you're going to catch Iain you better get back out there!
0:26:04 > 0:26:06He's done two pretty quick laps there.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Woo-hoo!
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I'll just do a hand print with this bike grease. There you go.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18One corner seems to be causing a few crashes
0:26:18 > 0:26:20let's hope Ed and Iain are more careful!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24This is my favourite. Oh, no!
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Oooh, you nearly made a big impact on the race there.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36He's had a pep talk, it's one lap down and looks like he might lose.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Right, last lap.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Hey! Final lap.- Aaargh!
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Hmmm, things are getting "wheelie" serious.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56I'm so tired.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I think I prefer my normal car!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Ooooh!
0:27:03 > 0:27:08That chequered flag means the end of the race but who's the winner?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13So while the judges are working out how many laps
0:27:13 > 0:27:17each team has completed, everyone takes a lap of honour.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23But will it be Speedy Stirling or Pacy Petrie who picks up
0:27:23 > 0:27:27the All Over The Place pedal car trophy?
0:27:27 > 0:27:30So, Conrad, the race director will tell us who's won.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Ed, you've done 45 laps.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Very respectable. - That's quite good, isn't it?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- And Iain...- Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- You did 47 laps! - Ha-ha! I'll have that, thank you.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- You can have that. - Thanks very much.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- Look at his smug face.- Yoo-hoo-hoo!
