# 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 all over the States

-# But it turns up...

-# ..all over the place! #

Let's join Ed and Johny in the US State that has the most

national parks, Arizona.

I can't believe you've taken me to Tucson to see some of the biggest celebrities in the USA.

Oh, yes, I thought they'd be in New York or LA or somewhere.

No, the biggest celebrities are right here. Ta-da!

Ah, so they're in the planes?

They're not in the planes, they ARE the planes. This is celebrity row.

At the aeroplane boneyard.

It's the final resting place of some of the most famous

-planes in the world. Whoa-a-a!

-Whoa-a-a!

This is your captain speaking.

We've touched down in the airplane boneyard where

US and European military planes come to retire.

There's 4,200 of them here.

Celebrity row is where all the big-name planes hang out

and to find out more, we've flown in two of the greatest

Hollywood celebrity plane reporters for all the hot gossip.

Hi there, I'm Ed Edberger.

And I'm Johny Do-you-want fries-with-that.

And we're bringing you all the latest gossip

-direct from celebrity row.

-Coming up, I speak to Eddie Edberger.

And I speak to Johny Do-you-want fries-with-that.

And we both speak to the stars of the aeroplane boneyard

to bring you all the latest news on what's hot on celebrity row.

I'm hot.

You don't count, you're not a plane, Eddie Edberger.

THEY LAUGH

First up, it's the comeback kid of the boneyard. The LC-130 Hercules.

It was built with skis.

Skis on a plane?

Yes indeed, Eddie Edberger, so it could land at the Antarctic

and resupply a scientific base there.

Unfortunately it did crash

and it sank into the ice where it stayed for 17 cold, dark years.

Oof, that's got to hurt.

But it was rescued and now it can bathe in the warm Arizona sunshine.

Now that's my kind of retirement plan.

THEY LAUGH

I did a joke.

-Mine was kind of better.

-It wasn't necessarily.

-It really was.

Right, now we're looking at a plane that would win any beauty contest.

Ain't she a beaut? This is the F/A-18 Hornet.

Now that's one fast plane with a top speed of Mach 1.8 that's

nearly twice the speed of sound.

HE MOUTHS

Wow.

Even faster than that, Johny do-you-want-fries-with-that?

Who are those weird-looking blokes over there with the TV crew?

I've got no idea but that dude is rocking that bowtie.

Well, I bet they haven't got backstage access

and an exclusive interview lined up.

Actually, we better hurry, they might get there before us.

You wouldn't want to forget where you'd parked in here, would you?

No. It's just endless.

What's amazing is to think of all these planes

and think I wonder how much of the world they've seen.

They'll have been everywhere. I wonder where each one's been.

It's like something from a science fiction film. Doesn't look real.

It's like a giant power laser or something.

If you borrowed one, went on holiday,

-I don't think anyone would notice.

-I don't think they'd miss one.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with P.

-Er, potato?

-No.

-P?

-Yeah.

-I've got it, I've definitely got it.

-What is it?

-Propeller.

-Oh, dear.

-You must know. Surely you must know.

-Er...pants.

-Oh, I'm stuck in the boneyard with an idiot.

-Poo?

-No!

-P for pathetic.

Let's talk to someone who knows what he's talking about.

So, Colonel, what have all these planes done wrong to end up here?

They come here to retire.

I thought they were just badly designed I notice none of them have got windows.

Well, that's because we take part from these aircraft and then

we will use them again in other craft that we're still flying today.

So have any celebrities visited the boneyard, apart from us?

Obviously!

We have Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf from Transformers 2.

-You may have seen the movie.

-So they actually shot Transformers here?

They did. Right over there.

-How do you keep them in such pristine condition?

-We apply this coating.

It's a latex coating that protect and preserves the aircraft.

I don't suppose you're spraying any of these planes today, are you?

-We are.

-Can we help?

-Absolutely. Are you ready to go?

-Are you ready?

-Am I ever?

-I was born ready.

-You born ready?

All right, let's go.

All right, Joe, top aeroplane sprayer, shows the boys what to do.

I thought we were supposed to be spraying a plane.

Yeah, I did too. Joe, what's this?

Well, what we have here is we have a cocooned set of 130 wings.

So this is a bit of a plane?

This is a bit of a plane.

Oh, good, so long as I'm spraying a plane. That's the main thing.

Johny, I've done my name on the side of a plane. That is bling.

How did you do that?

-JP.

-First, they spray a black coating.

Then a white coating which protects the planes from dust

and the heat of the sun. I get it. It's like airplane sunscreen.

It looks like I've just painted a plane for the US Air Force.

Yes. Our masterpiece is complete.

Hey, isn't that Ed Petrie and Johny Pitts off the TV?

Yeah, I think you're right. What do you say, shall we get an exclusive interview with them?

No, no-one cares about them. I'm going to talk to this guy instead.

Can I have a few words with you please, sir?

Hey, you, big nose!

With the sunscreen, I'm talking to you.

Well, we're out of here.

Time sure does fly when you're having fun. Don't go changing.

Chicago Illinois.

All hail, Celicus.

All hail, Edicus. How fare thee?

I fare well, Celicus.

Although I am slightly confused?

Confused? How's that?

Well, I was told to come to Chicago dressed as a Roman

and call you Celicus.

But I have seen no reason why we are dressed as Romans.

Apart from the fact that we are standing next to a slightly

Roman looking building.

Indeed, for there is no other possible connection

between ancient Rome and Chicago that I can think of.

And even that is a bit flimsy.

Celicus, I suspect that someone is having a laugh at our expense.

-It was Me-icus.

-BOTH: Voice-over man!

-Oh! Come down here!

-I used to like you!

I always said I would never appear on television in a toga!

Ha ha!

This Roman looking building doesn't just attract strange

toga-wearing CBBC presenters.

But also has visits from Rams, Jaguars, Lions and Panthers.

No, it's not a zoo.

This is Soldier Field where the American football team

the Chicago Bears play.

Ed and Cel, you have 55 seconds each to find out as much as you can

about Soldier Field and the Chicago Bears.

Ed, you have John who knows all about Soldier Field Stadium.

Cel, you've got Pat who's an expert on the Chicago Bears.

Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner

and will get to watch the Chicago Bears train, free.

You mean the actual Chicago Bears? Who play here? That's amazing.

Well, we better get a move on, the training ground's miles away.

Yes, go, go, go!

Why is the stadium called Soldier Field?

The stadium is dedicated to the men and women of the Armed Forces.

So at the end of the season what are you all playing to get?

-The Lombardi Trophy.

-And you've won it once?

-Yes.

-Do you think you're going to win it again?

-Yes.

-When was it built?

-1924.

-What does NFL stand for?

-National Football League.

-What's the pitch made out of?

-Grass. Natural grass.

-You're one of the owners, aren't you?

-Yes.

-You think I could maybe own Chicago Bears with you?

-No.

Do you think that I could play professional American football?

-Anybody can play.

-Really?

-Yes.

-Great.

-So do you think I could be a Bear?

-No.

Er, can I get some free tickets?

-We'll look into that.

-Do you think I could help win the trophy?

-No.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

-This isn't going well for me...

KLAXON

-I think we did quite well there, Pat.

-Good.

-I like them answers.

We had calm and reserved. Ed, you better watch out.

-The person who found out the most facts is...Ed.

-What?

-Yes!

Oh, yes, I get to see the Chicago Bears train, how cool is that?

-Oh, are you disappointed?

-Yeah.

Oh, look at his little face.

-Well, look, maybe they'll let you in as well?

-Are you sure?

-I'll ask.

How could they refuse? How could they refuse?

The Bears are one of American footballs oldest,

toughest and most famous teams.

They've won the game's ultimate prize, the Lombardi Trophy,

which is also known as the Super Bowl.

Last year over 110 million people watched the Super Bowl on TV.

That's about double the population of England and Wales.

-I don't really understand.

-This is something to do with the throw-in.

That over there, I don't know, a scrum-type thing? A touchdown!

I think we need to find people to understand what's going on.

Shall we go ask someone? Let's have a little search.

While these two get kitted up, I'll try to explain.

American football is a bit like rugby but played by people who

look like gladiators.

They try to get the ball behind the other team's line by kicking,

running or throwing it. And looking really, really scary.

Like this big guy.

Israel. He weighs a whopping 125kg.

That's the same as 312 tins of baked beans!

What do your positions involve?

My job is to beat a guy that's about 350lb.

Get him out of the way and tackle the quarterback.

Robbie is much lighter.

And weights 84kg

which is only 210 tins of beans.

I'm the guy that kicks the ball through the uprights,

the little pegs.

Almost like rugby where they dropkick it.

This is called a field goal

which is worth three points.

And a touchdown is worth six points.

The team which scores the most points wins the game.

What's the best thing about being an American footballer?

I think definitely playing the game on Sundays.

When you come out of the tunnel and you have thousands of fans

screaming and cheering and the excitement.

The city supporting you and just to win football games

and have that support and that love, there's no better feeling.

-The money?

-The money's great, too.

THEY LAUGH

The highest paid American footballers earn as much

as a monumental 20 million per year which is about £12,620,000.

Can I just, can we just compare arms quickly here? Look at that.

I don't want to look at it!

Most professional American football players

start playing in the football little leagues at five years old.

So trying to play with no experience at all, Ed, might be tricky.

So you go on this side.

-So I kick it at the bottom or in the middle?

-The bottom.

OK, here we go.

-Oh, yeah, it's going.

-Yeah!

-Could you teach me how to tackle Ed?

-Absolutely. If I'm tackling,

-head up, come in. Pick you up. OK?

-Right.

I was a bit heavy there, wasn't I? I could see you struggling there.

THEY GRUNT

That was so easy.

HE CONTINUES TO GRUNT

So, Ed, do you think we've done enough to play for the Chicago Bears?

I think that might be stretching it.

-We could play for the Orlando Artichokes.

-You reckon?

-Or the Miami Bell Ringers.

-What?

-Or maybe the Harrisburg Chameleons.

Are these real teams? They sound like they could be.

No, I've just made them up. Touchdown!

Miami, Florida.

-Welcome to Welcome, Ed.

-Don't you mean welcome to Miami?

Well, I'm welcoming you to Welcome which is the name of this

-statue behind me and it's welcoming you to Miami.

-Oh, now I get it.

Bienvenue to Welcome.

Welcome was made in 2004 by the artist Romero Britto.

Bienvenidos to Romero Britto.

I'm impressed with your language skills, Ed.

So far, you've had a welcome in French and Spanish.

There's one place I really wouldn't mind paying a visit to soon though.

The toilet.

Aloha, toilet. That's a Hawaiian welcome.

Oh, before you go to the loo, Ed, look at the height of this statue.

It's over 14 metres tall. That's 7.5 Jessie Js.

Huan ying to half a Jessie J.

Mandarin Chinese.

This is really fascinating but I need to go!

I wonder what the best welcome you could give someone would be?

The best welcome I could give someone is to go to the jungle

and but all the tigers jump out and go "welcome".

LAUGHS

"I'm a tiger, welcome."

If I had a jet pack, I'd fire into the sky and write the word welcome.

The best welcome I could give someone is I'd put

a spider down someone's back.

And they would scream.

Los Angeles, California.

-Iain, what are you doing?

-Hopping.

-Yeah, I can see that, why?

Hopping with excitement because of where we're going today.

-Oh, because we're going to the Bunny Museum?

-Yes.

-That's why you're wearing the ears as well?

-Good, aren't they?

I hope you've got your entrance fee otherwise you'll be hopping mad.

Mate, I'm off telly.

-I've got all the money.

-Ah, no, here you need a different kind of green.

I'm with this guy so if I could just get... Ed, he won't let me in.

Thankfully, Ed comes to Iain's rescue with some green stuff

-and the bunny bouncer finally lets them in.

-Wow.

-A lot of bunnies in here.

-Yeah.

-Very observant, Ed.

The entrance fee greenery not only feeds the real bunnies

but also helps keep their teeth the correct length

because bunnies' teeth grow continually throughout their lives.

-How did this all begin then?

-Well, this is the first one.

My husband Steve gave that to me 19 years ago on Valentine's Day

and I gave him that one at Easter and then before you know it

we're giving each other a bunny every day. Love token.

That's the trouble with rabbits, isn't it? They do multiply.

There's our Guinness record. We have the most bunnies in the world.

Wow. That's the quarantine shelf because those ones are really ill.

-Look at them.

-They're either really ill or alien bunnies.

The number of real bunnies in America is over six million

and they're, em, multiplying fast.

Ed, do you know what, with all these different bunnies it's amazing

that Candace can remember which one's which.

We're about to find out if you can

cos it's time to play It's All About The Bunny, Honey.

Ed, what are you doing?

So, let's start. Question one.

Which of these bunnies was given to Candace by her husband Steve

as a Valentine's gift?

Is it Bunny A or Bunnies B?

Bunny A. It looks very Valentinesy.

There's lots of pink involved, I think I'm going to go Bunny A please.

-Are you sure about A?

-I am.

-Well it's correct. Well done. Well done.

-Brilliant. What do I win?

-You win these bunny ears.

-They're mine.

-They're yours, you can take them home.

Question two.

Which of these bunnies was a decoration at

Steve and Candace's wedding?

Was it Bunny A or Bunnies B?

This is a tricky one. Erm.

The B looks like it's more heavy so it would be better on a table

-but A is more of a centrepiece, isn't it? I'll go A.

-Interesting...

Because it's correct! Well done, Iain.

-What did I win?

-You've won those bunny ears.

Which of these bunnies was a Christmas present?

Bunny A, because it's obviously Christmassy.

It does look very Christmassy.

-Bunny B doesn't look Christmassy.

-No, it doesn't look as Christmassy.

I think it's a trick question.

-I'm going to go, right, Bunny B.

-Only a fool would say Bunny B!

It's clearly Bunny A. I'm afraid I'm going to have to

take your rabbit ears away from you, Iain.

And destroy them. Bye.

Oh, you're too nasty. Give him his ears back.

I've never seen so many rabbits in one place.

Yeah, there were some proper famous ones too.

Well, we are near Hollywood,

home of famous actors, be they human or rabbit.

Yeah, but everyone knows famous bunnies don't actually exist.

Iain, this is America. If you BURROW away, you might find a few.

Hi, I'm looking for a Bunny Goldberg, hotshot movie agent?

What can I do for you, kid? I'm all ears. Sock it to me, Larry.

-It's Roger and I want to be an actor.

-I've got one for you, Larry.

What about the part of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter?

You play a rabbit who breaks into Mr McGregor's garden

and steals all his carrots.

You want me to be a gangster?

Do I get to do a bank job?

No, but you do get to borrow Cottontail's little blue

-watering can.

-It sounds boring.

-OK, OK, how about this one? Bugs Bunny.

He spends the whole movie being chased so you've got to run.

I need to see you run, Larry.

COMIC MUSIC PLAYS

I can't breathe.

Normally, Bugs Bunny says "What's up, Doc?"

but I like your commitment.

You've got the part.

Argh!

Way to go, Larry. Already making a big splash.

-Thanks for showing us around.

-Oh, you're welcome.

-Oh no, we don't shake hands at the Bunny Museum.

-Oh.

-We do bunny bump.

-I'll teach you. Bunny.

-Bunny.

-Bump.

-Oh, right.

-Bunny...bump.

-Let's do a three-way.

-Yeah, three-way bunny bump.

ALL: Bunny bump!

So, did you know we've been invited to a party whilst in New York?

Really? Oh, the celebrity grapevine. I try to keep these things on the

downlow, but, basically when people find out I'm going to be somewhere

it's very hard to keep these things quiet,

big celebrity party, is it?

Exclusive VIP. Who else has been invited?

-Brad, Jay-Z? Beyonce?

-My auntie.

-What?

-It's my cousin's eighth birthday party.

-Oh.

-It's fancy dress.

-Oh, I knew I should've bought my Wonder Woman costume.

-What?

Nothing. No problem, though, I know just where we need to go.

Party song.

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

# I'll take this one. #

CLEARS THROAT

Sorry, I'll take this one.

Cheese sandwich, Ed?

After all, we are in Wisconsin, the cheese capital of America.

Yes, isn't it lovely.

It is, and Hayward is actually known throughout the Midwest

-for its beautiful scenery.

-And trees.

-And birdlife.

-And trees.

-And peace and quiet.

-And trees.

TREE CRASHES TO THE GROUND

-Oh, a tree.

-Yes, Ed, you plank. There's no fooling you.

That is a tree and you're here at the World Lumberjack Championships

in Hayward, Wisconsin, which has been running for over 50 years.

100 lumberjacks and if you're a girl, lumberjills, can choose

to take part in any one of the 21 events related to their job.

So that's sawing, climbing

and balancing as well as chopping down trees.

12,000 people come here each year to see who'll be crowned

World Lumberjack Champion.

I wonder which event Ed and Michelle will compete in?

-This is going to make a change.

-What is?

Well, today we get to choose our own event.

Right, you just point me in the right direction

and I'll make sure I beat you in it.

Michelle, I think you'll find I nearly always win events

-all over the place. It's very rare that I lose.

-OK, Ed, whatever.

Saws are traditionally used by lumberjacks to cut up trees

and this is the log saw race to see who can do it the quickest.

Do you reckon you could do it?

Um, I wouldn't want to do it because I'd get very hot

and sweaty and it wouldn't look good on camera.

Ed and Michelle are watching the experts at work

so they can choose an event to take part in.

Make your mind up soon though, guys. Chop chop.

These little logs look a lot more manageable than those big ones.

-They're standing on the log.

-Yeah, I think he's showing off.

-No, guys, this is the log chopping event.

-I'm not doing this.

-I'm not doing this.

-Whoa, scary!

I prefer my toes attached to my feet, thank you very much.

Far too dangerous. I'm going nowhere near that.

OK, guys, what about this?

Go, guys, come on, guys!

This is the speed climb. Lumberjacks race in a 27 metre climb up.

It's faster on the way down!

No, no, no, no way.

I'm not doing that, I'm not doing that.

I definitely prefer the look of this.

I think we could be quite good at this one.

Yeah, no sharp tools, no bone-crunching falls.

-It looks a lot safer, shall we see if we can have a go? Excuse me.

-Yes.

-Hiya. What's this?

-This is a sport called log rolling.

Is it easy to do?

It's not easy but it's incredibly safe and a lot of fun.

-Do you want to try?

-Yeah, can we have a go?

-All right, let's do it.

In the log roll, each competitor tries to maintain their balance

while putting their opponent in the water.

My trainers are all squelchy.

-OK, go on, you're going to fall in. Ready?

-Ready.

Roll. Fast feet, Michelle.

MICHELLE SCREAMS

-And she's wet.

-That's a good start!

You need bags of patience to teach Ed and Michelle

and that's where former world champion Shona comes in.

Good luck, Shona.

SHE SCREAMS

# Rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling

# Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling

# Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling

# Keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling. #

Four seconds. Right, guys, ready, set, go.

Thank goodness this isn't the real competition

because let's be honest, that was rubbish.

And so was that.

-I can't even do a high five.

-Well done, Ed.

I don't know, four seconds isn't much of a victory, you know.

-That was tricky, man.

-I know, what a washout.

You guys want to try something else, a little more challenging?

Well, we've got to be better at something than that.

That wasn't ideal.

Well, you're already wet

so we've got another cool event called the boom run.

-What's a boom run?

-It's right over there.

That string of logs, you are going to try and run across them.

-You ready?

-Let's do it.

-Yeah. Yeah, let's boom run.

-Boom run!

Yeah, boom run.

Competitors have to run along 55 metres of wet, slippy bobbing logs,

run around a post at the end and run back

and oh, it's against the clock too.

Ouch!

# Boom, boom, let me hear you say wayoh. #

Can you chop some time off that, guys?

Now in this event, the lumberjacks actually used to

run across the river during the log drives to get from one end to

the other, but we just do it for speed.

So today, your job is going to be to step off the dock

and try to stay right on top of those logs, which are going

to be moving and spinning and bobbing and run as fast as you can.

We're going to take a practice run

and then we'll do the real thing next.

Is this the easier or harder than the last one,

because it sounds harder to me.

-Hard, this is hard.

-There's nothing easy in this place.

What on earth? Are those your practice moves?

Ed, you look like a demented chimp.

-This is going to be bad!

-Take your marks. Set. Go.

MICHELLE SCREAMS

One log. And come on, Ed, we haven't got all day. Get a move on.

-I chickened out.

-Three, two, one, go.

-Here we go.

-Ow! Ooh!

-I don't like this. I don't want to be a lumberjack any more.

What happened? I've no idea what happened.

We all know what happened, Ed, you took a tumble

and what a tumble! Don't worry, folks, Ed's fine.

The log, on the other hand, gave up and has now become a table.

Look at that, people are applauding my bruise.

-And I'm stupid enough to go again.

-CROWD: Come on, Ed!

So, now that you've kind of got the idea about how to do it,

let's do an actual competition. Are we ready?

Boom riders, take your marks. Let's go.

I'm going to take it nice and slow this time. Tiptoe steps.

Team Michelle against Team Ed in the boom run.

Boomers, take your marks.

Set. Boom!

Well, at least they both went this time, even if it wasn't very far.

It's going to be a close one.

I would now like to present our all over the place Boom Running Champion

award to Michelle. Congratulations, Michelle.

Thanks.

You can have it! I'm never doing that again.

You are watching All Over The Place - USA.
