Marbles, Diggers and Tin Baths! All Over the Place

Fancy a forage into the fantastic around the UK with your CBBC mates?

Stay tuned, as Ed and Chris enjoy bath time, Andy gets prehistoric,

Rani meets an old dragon, Johny digs it, and Barney loses his marbles!

# 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

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

# But it turns up all over the place. #

-This is it, Rani, Dragons' Den.

-I'm so nervous.

Do you think they're going to go for our idea? I hope they do.

-I didn't realise it was filmed at Warwick Castle.

-Oh, yeah.

I hope Duncan Bannatyne is here today

because I think he's a real pushover, actually.

SHE GASPS Oh!

Ah, hello, Ed, hello, Rani.

Not quite the dragon's den you thought you were entering,

but maybe just as scary.

This is Kiladgra, Warwick Castle's resident dragon.

-We were actually looking for the Dragons' Den team.

-Yeah.

A ridiculous misunderstanding. Basically, we've got this invention,

and we want to get them to put all their dosh in it.

Why don't you tell me your idea?

OK.

BOTH: It's a fire-putter-outer!

A fire-putter-outer?

-Good, huh?

-That is the most ridiculous idea

I've heard in my life.

Not a single thing could put out my flames.

I am out.

-Oh.

-No wonder dragons have a reputation for having a bad temper.

-WHAT?

-Oh!

-How dare you?

I don't know why people think we've got such a bad temper!

RANI SCREAMS

Where's the fire-putter-outer? Aaagh!

Well, that went well(!)

I think if you two have any more burning questions,

you need to ask someone else.

-Can I help you?

-Well, as luck would have it, yes, you can, missus.

This is Rose. She's a dragonologist.

So have you been studying dragons for years, then?

I've studied dragons all of my life.

Wow, what a job, studying dragons!

They may not exist

but she knows everything you need to know about these mythical creatures.

How come, when I blow my nose, a load of snot comes out,

but if a dragon blows his nose,

a load of fire comes out? What's going on there?

Dragons, in order to be light and to be able to fly,

have hydrogen bladders.

When they chew on platinum,

this ignites the hydrogen and therefore they breathe fire.

Chinese dragons, do they breathe fire?

Chinese dragons do breathe fire, though, really,

they are often depicted as quite separate from Western dragons.

Dragon legends appear in loads of different cultures.

But the two main ones dates back to Ancient Greece and Ancient China.

Chinese dragons are very benevolent creatures.

-They don't look that gentle. Don't they eat people?

-No, they don't.

I've seen a Chinese dragon at a street parade

and there was loads of people's legs sticking out the bottom.

He's funny, Ed, isn't he?

I wonder how a dragon would know who its ancestors were.

I suppose there's only one way to find out.

Who Do You Think You Are, with the All Over The Place dragon.

While tracing my ancestors,

I'm hoping to find that I belong to a long line of ferocious dragons.

This dragon was killed by St George, the patron saint of England.

So he must have been really scary.

Yes, he was, he demanded to be fed one person every day.

-Now that's my kind of dragon. So am I related to him?

-No.

Oh.

-You are a direct descendant of Colin.

-Oh, oh, don't tell me.

-Colin The Bloodcurdling. Colin The Absolutely Terrifying.

-No.

More like Colin, Really Quite A Nice Guy, Actually.

-Oh.

-Well, that'll be £500, please.

-Huh?!

HE COUGHS

OK. But I bet Colin ate people. Yeah?

No. But he did eat quiche.

-Andrea.

-Hello.

I used to collect marbles but this is a whole different ballgame.

-Oh, cos they're balls. That's very clever.

-Where do we start?

Well, we can start with this one here,

which is one of our oldest marbles. It comes from around Egyptian times.

The game of marbles dates back thousands of years

and it was played by many ancient civilisations.

These are some clay marbles

that were found in a 16th-century cottage under the floorboards.

These are about 400 years old, are they?

-Barney! What have you done?

-It's here, don't worry, look.

-It's fine.

-Oh.

-Wow.

Oh, Barney.

Not only are antique marbles not very tasty,

they can be worth thousands of pounds.

Some may look like pebbles,

but they can be very beautiful and highly collectable.

In the 19th century, here,

people started making them out of glass, hand-making them.

This is one called a Lutz marble. That's been hand-made.

That's got lots of shiny bits in, which are copper filings.

This is more like it. This is the sort of thing I used to collect.

-That's more like a marble you'd recognise.

-Yeah.

-Are they easy to make?

-We've got a glassworks

-so you can come and have a go.

-Bring it on.

-Yeah.

Us and a load of molten glass. What could possibly go wrong(?)

Well, we could lose our marbles.

Well, there's one man who will keep you right, chaps.

The master of marbles.

-Hello, are you Paul?

-I am.

-Paul, how are you doing? I'm Barney.

-Nice to meet you.

-This is Ed. Apparently... Oh, doing the dance.

-Apparently, you're the guy to show us how to make a marble.

-I am.

-OK.

-Shall we get going?

-Yes, please.

-OK. You dip it in the glass.

-Yeah.

What it's like, it's like taking treacle out of a jar with a spoon.

Yeah, treacle that's ten times hotter than boiling water,

so be careful.

Wow, that's hot!

-I've never seen anything that hot before.

-There we go.

-Don't come anywhere near me, Barney.

-Next, keep rolling it,

and it might look like a marble eventually.

That's good. Flatten it on two sides. Let it... That's it.

-Now it's colour.

-Time for some decoration.

One side in blue and the other side in the red.

-You almost look like you know what you're doing.

-Not a clue.

Well, you don't look like you're doing too badly.

Now back in the heat to melt the colouring. And back out again.

Now it's time to actually make it look like a marble.

-Yeah?

-Lovely.

-I can't believe I'm making a marble. It's so amazing.

-Put it over there.

-That's it.

-Just the finishing touches to go.

Give the iron a tap.

-Ah-ha-ha!

-Perfect.

-Look at that, it's amazing.

Right down on the top and just get rid of that sharp bit.

-That's it.

-So that will melt?

Marbellous, Barney. Do you see what I did there? Marb... Never mind.

-That was really fun. Are you going to have a go?

-Do you want a go?

You know what, I'm absolutely terrified, but I'll give it a go.

I can't even see what's in there.

-Oh, I've got loads. Is that too much?

-No, if you're making a vase.

Now we can put some colour on.

It doesn't look quite as nice as Barney's did.

-There we go.

-Lovely. Now onto the rollers and into...

-Into the glory hole! The mantra is, basically, keep turning.

-Yeah.

It looks a bit like a gnome's hat at the moment.

It does, which it shouldn't do, but there we go.

What you have to remember,

throughout this entire process, I'm fearing for my life.

A bad burn is the worst that can happen.

Yeah, exactly!

How's that looking?

Well, to be honest, about as best as I think we can hope for. Lovely.

-I'm just pleased that it's vaguely round, to be honest.

-Give it a tap.

-Oh, dear.

-It's not happening, is it? Let's have a look.

I'm glad that glass didn't hit me.

I think you need an adult helper now, Ed.

-There you go.

-Wahey!

You guys are stuck in the past.

People have been making marbles the same way since Egyptian times.

I've turned up, I've changed things.

The non-rolling marble. This is the future.

Of course it is, Ed!

-Now, why don't you go and have a nice lie down?

-I love it.

Right, Ed and Barney,

you can get your marbles when they've cooled off.

-And there you have it.

-And there you go.

-Hey, Barney, look, I picked up our finished marbles.

-Oh, wicked,

that was worth the wait, wasn't it?

-Yeah. Have you changed clothes?

-Yeah.

Nothing to do with the fact that they have lots of pockets, though.

Right. Well, I was thinking maybe we could have a game of marbles.

-Find out whose marble's best.

-Love to. I can't move, Ed.

-Why?

Cos I went a bit mad in the marble shop and I bought loads of marbles

-and I put them in my pockets and now I can't move.

-Oh. OK.

I guess that means you forfeit the game so my marble's the best.

No, that's not fair. No, Ed, wait! Whoa!

MARBLES CLATTER

-I thought you said there were waves here in Dover.

-No.

I said, meet me at On The Crest Of A Wave - this thing here.

It's made by a bloke called Ray Smith.

-Why aren't those swimmers pulling the face, then?

-What face?

The face you make when you're swimming into waves.

Where do you think they're swimming to?

Over there to France, across the English Channel.

-How long will that take?

-On average, 13 hours.

13 hours? 13 hours?!

What happens if you need to go to the toilet?

Oh, yeah, of course.

Ed, why are you covered in grease?

I'm going to swim to France on my holidays

and I don't want to get cold.

Channel swimmers do cover themselves in grease to keep warm

but it's not that kind of grease.

Anyway, you can't turn up to France looking like that.

Er, no, I don't suppose it would be very tres bon.

True. But imagine if the only way to go on holiday WAS to swim there.

If the only way to go on holiday was to swim there,

it would probably take a day or two.

No, more like a month, actually. But you'd have to dodge the sharks.

Nom, nom, nom on your legs.

-Could be little cafes at the bottom of the sea.

-That would be cool.

-You'd have to swim down to reach them.

-Yeah.

-And bowling alleys.

Yeah. Got to have a bowling alley.

-And you'd see a jellyfish.

-Yeah!

-Bowling.

You'd get distracted and accidentally hit the jellyfish.

That would be funny.

Ed, you know we're in Lyme Regis,

otherwise known as the Jurassic Coast?

Has that got something to do with dinosaurs or something?

Yeah, I think it does.

CRASHING Ed? What's that?

I don't know. But seeing as we were just talking about dinosaurs,

-and this is the Jurassic Coast...

-Yeah?

-..I think it must be a Tyrannosaurus rex!

-You're right!

That can be the only logical conclusion!

-I mean, look at my squash!

-Ed...

-It's that granny.

-Maybe she's Jurassic.

The Jurassic Coast is actually a bit older

and more attractive than that granny,

though they probably do both smell similar.

It actually dates back to 200 million years ago

and it stretches for 95 miles through Dorset and East Devon.

Ed and Andy, you have 50 seconds each

to find out as much as you can about the Jurassic Coast.

Ed, you've got Sam who knows all about the rocks and cliffs.

Andy, you've got Paddy, who hunts fossils.

Whoever finds out the most facts in 50 seconds is the winner.

Three, two, one, go!

-Hello, Sam.

-Hello.

-Why do you love rocks so much?

They're so interesting,

they tell us everything about the history of the Earth.

What is a fossil?

The remains of anything older than about 10,000 years.

-How much do you love them?

-Enough to study them every day.

If you love them so much, why don't you marry one?

-I had to marry a human being.

-That's good.

How many fossils do you think you've found in your life?

I lost count about 20 years ago. Tens of thousands.

Why the Jurassic Coast?

Cos there are many fossils from the Jurassic on it.

-Can I just rock up and find a fossil myself?

-Absolutely.

-Do rocks move?

-They move very, very slowly, yes.

-Do I qualify as a fossil hunter if I find a fossil?

-Yes.

If I sat on a rock to go on holiday to get to the Equator,

-how long would it take me?

-Millions and millions of years.

-Does it feel uncomfortable I'm standing so close?

-No.

-Good.

-How old is this rock?

-That's 200 million years old. They all are.

-BUZZER

-Oh!

Oh. I think we found out quite a lot about rocks there.

The person who found out the most facts is Ed.

Yes! I love rocks!

-How did you win that?

-I want to find out more about them.

-OK.

-Andy, I've never been anywhere like this.

-This is absolutely ridiculous.

-There's so many of them. Here's one. Here's one.

-Here's one.

Seven, eight, 12 - loads!

-Look at this!

-I'm going to call this one Barry.

-What are these things? There's loads of them.

-Ammonites.

They're a very ancient relative of things like octopus and squid.

You can think of them as an octopus living inside a spiral-shaped shell.

How do they make this imprint into the rock?

This rock would have been soft mud on the seabed,

something like 200 million years ago.

The ammonite shell, after it died, drifted down into the mud

and the mud hardened and compacted to become stone.

-It's a really nice one.

-Yeah.

-Shame about this black scratch.

It's from a ferocious marine predator called an ichthyosaur.

It's just a bit of rib, but they could grow up to the size of a bus.

-You can tell all that?

-Yes, they lived in the sea

in the Jurassic period, 200 million years ago, but they went extinct

-with the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.

-So this is like a graveyard.

-Yes, this surface is known as the ammonite graveyard.

-Oooh!

Nobody knows why they all died out at this time,

to be exposed in this one piece of rock -

but they're certainly spectacular.

-I never knew rocks could be so interesting!

-Oh, there's one!

-I'm bored of this game now, come on.

-Sorry.

Imagine if we found one that no-one had ever seen before?!

Excuse me, Professor.

-I was wondering if you might be able to help.

-How can I help, Doctor?

I've been cataloguing these fossils for hours, I'm going a bit doolally.

Why, pray tell, might that be?

Well, I can't for the life of me work out what this one is.

Erm...it appears to be a baby dinosaur

wearing swimming goggles and armbands.

-Marvellous. Thanks, awfully.

-Wait a minute...

You know what this means, don't you?

-The dinosaur shouldn't have gone in the sea with inflatables on.

-No!

-You're holding one of the most important discoveries in history!

-Yes. That's what I meant.

Human beings weren't the first tool- making species on the planet at all!

Everything we thought we knew about evolution must be utterly rewritten!

It also suggests the dinosaurs went on seaside holidays!

Er, yes. But you know what this means...

They blew a fortune in amusement arcades?

No - this fossil changes everything.

Yes, you're right. Hang on...

The oldest fossil is 3.5 billion years old,

-which means, all the research that has been done, well, it's...

-Useless.

-All those exams.

-Worthless.

-We're going to have to go back to school and...

-..do them again.

BOTH: I hate school!!

Aaaagh!

-Lunch?

-Rather!

Ed, this theme park is wicked, you're going to dig this place - literally.

-What are you talking about?

-You're going to dig this place - literally.

-Dig it, as in like it, or as in, dig it up?

-Both.

Check this!

GUITAR RIFF WITH DRUM BEAT

# So this is where we've got to sing our duet

# At a theme park they haven't even built yet

# There's machinery here This isn't well-planned

# It's supposed to be here This is Diggerland

-# What kind of place is that?

-The most fun, we're in a hard hat

# A theme park devoted to an excavation?!

# It's beyond the realms of my imagination!

# When I was a kid Diggers were my obsession

# So I just have one simple question

-# Can I dig it?

-Yes, you can

-# Can I dig it?

-Yes, you can

-# Can I dig it?

-Yes, you can

# I did digging with the diggers at Diggerland!

# There's every kind of digger under the sun

# I never knew earth shifting was so much fun

# They're always yellow Why is that, do you think?

# But they'd look really stupid if they were pink

# There's dumper trucks and the Spin Dizzy

# A dig for treasure That'll keep you busy

# Check out the mascot, man He's chilled, yeah

# He looks a little bit like Bob the Builder

# Bringing me here was a great suggestion

# Though I do have one simple question

-# Can I dig it?

-Yes, you can

-# Can I dig it?

-Yes, you can

-# Can I dig it?

-Yes, you can

# I dig digging with the diggers at Diggerland!

# There's tractors and dodgems and lots more besides

# There are height restrictions on some of the rides!

-Sorry, you're not tall enough.

-If I got out of this hole?

Enjoy the ride.

# I've always dreamed of Operating heavy machinery

# So come on, everybody Sing along with me!

Ah! There's nothing I like more than a nice relaxing bath!

So good to be away from Chris and the rest of the film crew.

I love it in the Isle of Man, it's so tranquil...

This will be fine - nice, big bath,

-don't mind the fool sat inside it, we can take him out.

-Oi!

I'm having a relaxing bath in a field!

-You're destroying my peace and quiet!

-Ed, I'm sorry,

but when there's a race, we need a big tin bath.

-Take it away, lads!

-What race needs a tin bath?!

-I want a bath!!

-You can, Ed -

at the annual World Tin Bath Championships.

It's been running for the past 40 years.

It goes from one end of Castletown harbour to the other.

That's a loop of 200 metres!

-Think you've got what it takes to be a world champion?

-I already am,

-I just haven't proved it yet.

-World champion today will be old Eddie.

You haven't got the qualities - these are the eyebrows of a world champion.

There's no buoyancy in those - these are the nostrils of a champion.

I'd rather not look at those nostrils, thanks.

THEY BOTH TALK RAPIDLY AT THE SAME TIME

Ladies, your nails! And you could end up in some difficulties.

Unless you want to end up like this guy,

you'd better get some tips from a world champion.

-Hi, are you Erica?

-Yes, yes, I am.

-And you're a world champion?

-A few years running, yes.

-How many times have you won it?

-13.

-Just what I need.

-Greta, hello, you're Erica's daughter.

-That's right.

-Your mum's the world champion.

-Yes.

-But you're catching up.

-I hope so.

-What do I need to win?

-Stamina.

-Got that...

-Good balance.

Erm...not so good at that.

Try for a push and pull technique, not just hammering one arm.

-Just smacking the water!

-Yeah, smooth, controlled movements.

Controlled movements - I think I've got it.

Before you sail off into the horizon,

here are the rules of tin bath racing.

First, the obvious one - you need a bath made out of metal.

You need to be able to swim, but if you do take the plunge,

you can carry on in the race, as long as you don't have any help.

The winner is the first bath over the line.

So, first - get your hands on a tin bath!

This is my bath.

It's a bit boring. I'm sure I can liven it up.

Of course you can, Ed. Take some inspiration from your fellow racers.

Soak up their ideas, you might say.

I'm going for the good ship Bubble-a-Tron. Why?

Well, bubbles float, don't they?

I've chosen a futuristic cyborg bath look, and I've got the best name -

the Tin-o-Mator! "I'll be back...scrub!"

More like, "Hasta la vista, baby!"

I'm hoping the opposition, when this see this, will fear for their lives.

-Isn't going to affect my speed, is it?

-Aagh!

-The Bubble-a-Tron?

-Yes.

That's the sort of name a CBeebies presenter would use.

-It's a quality name, young man.

-You know what mine's called?

The Tin-o-Rator!! Raaagh!

-Raaagh! Be intimidated!

-I'm just mildly annoyed!

Play time over, boys - now it's bath time!

I look ridiculous, with the life jacket on, but the vest is cool!

Erica told me to eat chocolate, get my energy up.

She's a world champion - I'm doing as she says!

The guys have to get their baths to the starting points.

-It just occurred to me...

-What?

-What if we capsize?

-I haven't asked.

-Me, neither!

That water smells really fishy, I really do not want to go in.

-I really want to beat Chris!

-Don't get too carried away, Ed.

First, you have to make it to the start line -

which seems to be a bit harder than it sounds!

Yes! Ha-ha! I'm halfway there!

Concentrate, you two! And remember the top advice -

watch your balance and keep control.

HE BLOWS WATER OUT OF HIS MOUTH

Or instead, you could just scream...

Ah, no! Me as well, me as well!

This isn't very buoyant.

-Oh, Chris, that's a poor start.

-Well, I've lost my flag!

At least Ed's made it to the start line, even if it is with some help.

Chris is going to attempt a second launch.

Ed's nervously waiting at the start line...

I do not fancy my chances at all.

..but will he stay balanced if he lets go of that rope?

Let's see how Chris is getting on.

He's not taking to this like a duck to water!

He's sunk without a trace before the race has even begun!

An early bath for you, Chris!

Worst of all, my pants are coming down!

Actually, worst of all, you haven't even made it to the start line,

so I'm afraid you can't take part!

Ed, you're CBBC's only hope now!

Remember, the world champion's title is at stake!

On your marks, get set, go!

Oh!

Oh! Agh! Woah, woah, woah!

Oh, no, I'm filling up! I'm filling up!

# Splish, splash, taking a bath... #

Hee-hee-hee! Let's see that in slow motion, shall we?!

Ed, do you ever get that sinking feeling?

How will his competitive streak take this dismal failure?

No! No!

That is one wet and defeated TV presenter.

But at least he got past the start line - unlike Chris.

It's a lot easier knowing he didn't complete it, either.

That was utterly humiliating!

The only small crumb of consolation was that you sank first.

Yes, I will give you that, fair and square.

-Humiliated! Thousands of people have turned up.

-All these people here.

I think I got one metre before I sank.

Ed and Chris's hopes of becoming world champions may have been sunk,

but check out how good some of their fellow racers were.

And in the end, the 13-times world champion was beaten by her daughter!

Greta won the women's race!

-Congratulations!

-Thank you.

-You still came second, Erica!

What did we do wrong?

Sometimes you just haven't got it in your blood!

Definitely not, we haven't got it. We were such a disgrace,

-we're going to have to give you our trophy.

-Thank you so much.

The All Over The Place Tin Bath Race Trophy. Well done, girls.

-Thank you.

-Maybe next year, hey, Chris?

-Maybe...probably not.

'You've been watching All Over The Place!'
