0:00:38 > 0:00:40# All over the place

0:00:40 > 0:00:43# Bet you didn't know this stuff was all over the States

0:00:43 > 0:00:47- # But it turns up - All over the place! #

0:00:47 > 0:00:51First up is the lightning capital of the United States. It's Florida.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53I am looking forward to our

0:00:53 > 0:00:56fantastic Florida adventure at Coral Castle.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57SHE LAUGHS

0:00:57 > 0:01:01Yeah... Coral Castle's not under the sea, though, Naomi.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Isn't it made of coral?

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Mmm... Well, yeah, no. Kind of.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07It's a mystery.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Is it a castle, though? - It's a mystery.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Well, how do we get there? - I'm a bit mystified.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18This is Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida

0:01:18 > 0:01:21and, yes, it is made from real coral.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25It was built by a real man called Ed who worked only at night.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Ed Leedskalnin was born in Latvia.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30He and his family were stonemasons.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32He started it 90 years ago

0:01:32 > 0:01:34and it took 28 years to complete,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37but he never did get around to adding that roof.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Ed and Naomi, you have 28 seconds to find out as much

0:01:40 > 0:01:43as you can about Coral Castle.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47Ed, you have Zulay, a guide who knows all about the castle.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Naomi, you have Ken, a guide who knows all about building.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Three, two, one, go!

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- When was it built? - It was built in 1923.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Why did he build it? - Because he lost his love

0:02:02 > 0:02:04and he wanted to make a tribute to her.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Did he have supernatural powers?- No.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Who helped him?- No-one.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09- Could he fly?- No, he couldn't fly.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13- How do you think he built it?- Because he had all the scientific knowledge,

0:02:13 > 0:02:16he read a lot, and he actually knew about pulleys.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Is this good building material? - Absolutely.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- How heavy is that piece of stone over there?- This one right here?- Yes.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22I don't know.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- How do you get in and out of the Coral Castle? - KLAXON

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Do you know what, Ken? Thanks very much. Let's hope we nailed that one.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31I was just about to ask a useful question

0:02:31 > 0:02:33that I wanted to know the answer to, but I ran out of time.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35It's no longer a mystery -

0:02:35 > 0:02:38the person who found out the most facts is...

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Naomi!

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Me and Ken, just ask us anything you need to know about the castle.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46It comes as no surprise, I was completely rubbish.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- But I still don't know how he made it.- Ah, well.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54That's the mystery, isn't it, Naomi? The mystery of Coral Castle.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Many have tried to unravel the mystery, many have failed.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Edward Sherlock Petrie as Sherlock Holmes

0:03:09 > 0:03:14and Naomi Sherlock Wilkinson as Sherlock Holmes Two.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17It's a complicated tale full of complications.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22So, what does our initial inspection of the site tell us,

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Naomi Sherlock Holmes Wilkinson?

0:03:24 > 0:03:28That our man, Ed, was a bit of a mystery, Ed Sherlock Holmes Petrie.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Well, if anyone can solve this mystery, it'll be me!- And me!

0:03:32 > 0:03:36It's a mystery how these tools were used to build Coral Castle.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Let me have a look. I'm sure, with my superlative powers

0:03:38 > 0:03:42of deduction and superior sense of intuition, I can solve this problem.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53No. That's well difficult.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Not as difficult as coming up with the idea to build it

0:03:57 > 0:03:58in the first place.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01# Oh, Latvia, you're the place for me

0:04:01 > 0:04:04# And this song tells you what this accent's meant to be. #

0:04:04 > 0:04:09- You seem very happy today, darling. - Well, life is good, my sweet 16.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12With my stonemasonry skills taught to me by my grandfather,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15I have a bright career ahead of me.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19And tomorrow, I marry the girl of my dreams. My beautiful Agnes.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Life is "briniskigs".

0:04:22 > 0:04:24That's Latvian for "wonderful" - we looked it up.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Perhaps there is more to life than stonemasonry.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30I mean, it's 1912, there is a whole world out there.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33What do you wish for, Agnes? I give you anything.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38Well, look here, they have just built world's largest ship,

0:04:38 > 0:04:40the Titanic.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44They can cross Atlantic Ocean in the height of luxury in just

0:04:44 > 0:04:46- a matter of days. - CREAKING AND THUMPING

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Just imagine a wonderful ship like that.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Oh, apparently it sunk. What a horrible, tragic vessel.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59SHE GASPS

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Look here, a woman has just flown across the English Channel.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Oh, the romance of flight.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10This Harriet Quimby is dancing around the sky in beautiful,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13beautiful biplane.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19Oh, apparently she died in plane crash.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21I do not trust those machines.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Well, maybe if you want to see the world,

0:05:27 > 0:05:31we could move somewhere new. America, maybe. Start a new life.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Really?- If you wish for it, of course. I make a NEW plan.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38You mean, we can travel, see the sights,

0:05:38 > 0:05:43- the Great Lakes, New York City, Statue of Liberty?- No, no, no.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I was thinking I could buy a plot of land in Florida

0:05:45 > 0:05:48and spend the next 30 years working single-handedly through

0:05:48 > 0:05:50the night to build you a castle made from coral -

0:05:50 > 0:05:53using the techniques of the ancient Egyptians

0:05:53 > 0:05:56and of course my own special, supernatural powers.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Actually, I don't think I want to marry you any more. See ya!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04If it's the accent, I can try harder!

0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Ed, Ed, save some for...me. - Oh, I really needed that.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I was really thirsty. - Yeah, I can tell.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Oh, now I need something else, if you know what I mean.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Oh, it's a good job that we're here, isn't it? At the Toilet Seat Museum.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yes. I'm so relieved.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44No boring old paper or canvas for Barney, no siree.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48It's toilet seats that he likes to use to show off HIS artwork.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52- And, no, I'm not pulling your chain. - Hi, Barney.- Hello, Barney.- Hey!

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Come in and join me.- How you doing? - I'm doing fine, thank you.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57So, how many film crews have you had coming to see you

0:06:57 > 0:06:59since you started your toilet museum?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02I guess that I've had at least 50 film crews that have come here.

0:07:02 > 0:07:0350 film crews!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I've got 70 foreign countries that have come in here

0:07:06 > 0:07:08and signed my guestbook.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Barney, you know more about TV than us!

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Barney rescues brand-new toilet seats that have been slightly

0:07:15 > 0:07:17soiled - I mean scratched -

0:07:17 > 0:07:19and turns them into unique works of toilet seat art.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22All hung here in his Toilet Seat Museum!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Which is also his garage.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Barney, would you be able to design a toilet seat for us?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29I'd be glad to, if I had something to put on it.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33While Barney decides what his exclusive All Over The Place

0:07:33 > 0:07:35artwork will be, he asks Ed and Johny

0:07:35 > 0:07:38to leave THEIR mark on the toilet seat.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40No, not that type of mark.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44I think this was made with a bit of inspiration

0:07:44 > 0:07:45from the Renaissance period.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48I can definitely see France, definitely Michelangelo.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50What do you think?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52I think it's a toilet seat, mate.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57The average person goes to the toilet six to eight times a day

0:07:57 > 0:08:00and spends three whole years of their life sitting on the loo,

0:08:00 > 0:08:03which is why I've got a TV and a games console in there.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05You see that cowboy hat up there?

0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Yeah.- That's from the legend of El U-Bend. He went to the toilet,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11- he didn't come out of hours.- Really?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13And everyone was wondering where he was.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17When they kicked the door down, there was nothing there except his hat.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Really?- No, just made it up.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Actually, I wonder how cowboys DID go to the toilet.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27What do you have there, son?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Well, while you was minding camp, I bought me

0:08:29 > 0:08:33some pretty darn nice things from that there travelling salesman.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Whoo-ee! Woo-hoo!

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- What's it for?- Go on, have a guess.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45It's a comfy, camping pillow

0:08:45 > 0:08:47with space for a toothbrush.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- If only I had a toothbrush. - No, it ain't for that, dummy.

0:08:52 > 0:08:56It's when you go to the privy - you know, the toilet.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59You mean, I don't need to wipe my behind on a dry corncob, no more?

0:08:59 > 0:09:05- Nuh-uh.- Dang.- Feel how soft that is. - Well, I guess I could give it a go.

0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Go on, cowboy. Warm it up for me. - Why, thanks, partner.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Hang on, you never let me go to the toilet before you, on account of my

0:09:14 > 0:09:18movement smelling worse than the dead mule's backside in the midday sun.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Uh-huh. Well, that there travelling salesman sold me something

0:09:22 > 0:09:23for the smell as well.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Woo-ee!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Dang, this toilet paper's too soft for me.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Could you pass me that old corncob? - Sure thang.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43Just when you thought you'd heard enough toilet humour,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46let's play A Number One Or A Number Two.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Those cowboys sure did have some strange toilet habits.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- HE BREAKS WIND - I wonder if they blamed the horses in them there days.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Buddy, it's your lucky day. This is what's going to happen -

0:09:56 > 0:09:58you're going for a big grand prize,

0:09:58 > 0:10:00and that prize is to go to the restroom

0:10:00 > 0:10:03or what you guys in the United Britain call the toilet.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05OK, your first question.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Which celebrity has Barney dedicated a toilet seat to

0:10:08 > 0:10:13in his collection? Is that number one, Michael Jackson,

0:10:13 > 0:10:17or is it number two, Justin Bieber? Nice boy, I know him personally.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- I'm going to go for a number two. - That answer was incorrect, boy.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23You ain't going to the toilet just yet.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's time for your second question. You want to go to the toilet, right?

0:10:26 > 0:10:27I can tell you want to go to the toilet.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30You're going to have to get this question right.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33OK, which of these toilet seats has Barney's grandson's toys

0:10:33 > 0:10:37attached to it? Is it number one or number two?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Yeah, I'm going to go for number one.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41That is the correct answer. Well done, son.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Well, I've just got to go... - Not so fast, boy.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46It's time for your third and final question.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50Which toilet seat best represents Toilet Seat Man's

0:10:50 > 0:10:52favourite holiday destination?

0:10:52 > 0:10:57Is it number one, Hawaii in the old US of A?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Or are you going to go for number two,

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Bognor Regis in the United Kingdom?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Oh, I'm going to go with number two.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10You got it wrong, boy. It's number one.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13We ain't going to let you go home empty-handed, oh, no.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15You get to win some diapers,

0:11:15 > 0:11:16or for our UK audience watching at home,

0:11:16 > 0:11:18we talking about some nappies.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh, bog off!

0:11:22 > 0:11:23Join us next time.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Barney, this is so good. Thank you.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29We're honoured to be part of your museum.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Well, I'm so glad that you wanted to be a part of it.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Come back and see me again. - Will do.- We definitely will.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Now, Ed, it is time to go. Is there anything that you need to do?

0:11:38 > 0:11:40- It's a long journey we've got ahead of us.- Nope.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Are you sure you don't need to go to the bathroom?- Absolutely sure.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Yeah, are you sure? Because we're not going to stop along the way.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Johny, I will not be going to the toilet for this entire journey.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Trust me.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53ED BREAKS WIND

0:12:01 > 0:12:03So, why have we been made to dress like this?

0:12:03 > 0:12:05It seems that here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, there is

0:12:05 > 0:12:08something that you're not going to find anywhere else.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Two presenters walking down the road dressed as fairies?

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Apart from that, Ed. I've heard that there's loads of tiny,

0:12:13 > 0:12:15little doors hidden around the city.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Doors that fairies might use.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21No, can't see any fairy doors.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Oh, there is THAT thing, though. I guess it's some sort of car?

0:12:27 > 0:12:28Oh, for crying out loud.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32They parked on the sidewalk again, they're going to get towed away.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- Excuse me?- Yes.- Hi, is this anything to do with the fairy doors?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38As a matter of fact, it is. That's a fairy car

0:12:38 > 0:12:39and the fairies must be home.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43- Right, I don't see any door there. - Oh, no.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47- The door here is on the inside. Would you like to see it?- Yeah.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48All right, come on.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51- Am I still asleep?- No. - Is this a dream?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53No! Aren't you listening to me?

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Oh, and your wings are wonky.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56So, I take it you're responsible for these doors, then?

0:12:56 > 0:12:58No, I'm not responsible at all.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00- So, who's responsible for them, then?- The fairies.

0:13:00 > 0:13:05- The fairies built these doors?- Urban fairies.- Right, course they did.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06How long did they take to build?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Well, some just appear overnight and then others,

0:13:09 > 0:13:10over a course of time.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Do you want to race me to find them?

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Yeah, why not?

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Oh, come on. Get with the programme, Tinkerbell Petrie.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Well, that's the ones people know about.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26I wonder what happens when someone loses a tooth?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Do they all come fluttering out for it?

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Come on, Michelle, you can find another.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Look, here's one. This is amazing. It's like a tiny little shop.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Everything is so diddy.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43It's got, like, little tables and chairs, little cakes.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45It's so detailed. You know what?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I really wish I was a fairy now,

0:13:47 > 0:13:50There's no way I'm going to be able to get in there.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Oh, here's one. Oh, wow.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Look at that, that's brilliant.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00That's like a direct copy of the real door.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06Jonathan - I mean the fairies - have done a really good job of this one.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Oh, there's an interior door as well.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13And it opens! That's brilliant.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16You can get arrested for this sort of thing -

0:14:16 > 0:14:18staring into people's houses.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I should leave before they set the fairy police on me.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Oh, don't be silly, Ed.

0:14:22 > 0:14:23We all know fairies don't exist.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Tell you what, I've had it up to here with being a tooth fairy.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34Look at the size of this lad's tooth. Nearly did me back in.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Oh, I don't know why we bother any more, mate. I really don't.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Apparently, humans don't believe in us any more.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Look.- How dare they?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44What about all the famous fairies, like Tinkerbell,

0:14:44 > 0:14:48the Sugar Plum Fairy, them ones on top of Christmas trees.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50- They think it's all made up. - Made up?

0:14:50 > 0:14:54I saw Tinkerbell down the shops earlier, nothing made up about her.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57What about Fairy Liquid? They'll be saying THAT don't exist next.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- No, they use it to do the washing-up.- What?

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Do they know how hard that stuff is to produce?

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, if that's their attitude,

0:15:04 > 0:15:06I'm not fetching their teeth from under pillows no more.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Well, what're you going to do instead?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11I'll be a different sort of fairy. A fairy godmother.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16Ha! You can't be a fairy godmother. You don't know how to use a wand.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Yeah, I do. It's easy. Got one in here somewhere.

0:15:21 > 0:15:26- Here we are. Right. Make your wish.- All right, then.

0:15:28 > 0:15:29I wish I was human.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Ow!

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Oh, I'm boiling.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43- What you done now?- I've turned you into a human.- Really?

0:15:43 > 0:15:45I feel funny.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Are you sure I'm a human? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely a human.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Because I feel a lot like a hot dog with wings.- No, no, no.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Definitely not a hot dog. - You sure?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- What you doing? - I'm giving you a bath.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Oh, well, that's just great.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29'Can you believe it? We come all the way to Chicago and it's raining.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33'Hey, Ed, look! Someone with a bigger head than you!

0:16:33 > 0:16:36'Cel, Cel, you know I have to look my best for my adoring public.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40'That's you, dear viewer.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43'It's a work of art, slap bang in the middle of Chicago.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45'It was designed by a man called Jaume Plensa

0:16:45 > 0:16:47'and it's called Crown Fountain.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52'Looks like the biggest smartphone in the world.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56- 'Ah, the TWO biggest smartphones in the world.- Wow!

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- 'Is this the only time it's good to be two-faced?- Oh!'

0:17:01 > 0:17:03CEL LAUGHS

0:17:03 > 0:17:08'Each tower is made up of 148 video screens and they're 15 metres tall -

0:17:08 > 0:17:11'which is eight times taller than you.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13'Hang on, that's a different face.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17- 'And that's changed too.- Yup, the face changes every few minutes

0:17:17 > 0:17:20'and there are 1,000 different faces, all local people.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25'You know, all this water is making me need the loo! Oh!

0:17:25 > 0:17:28'Where would YOU want your giant face to appear?'

0:17:28 > 0:17:33I would like my giant face to appear on the sun,

0:17:33 > 0:17:36because my grandma says, "I'm always shining."

0:17:36 > 0:17:40And I'd be pulling a face with my tongue sticking out

0:17:40 > 0:17:43and my eyes like big bubbles.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46I'd like my giant face to appear on a hotel, because they'd have

0:17:46 > 0:17:50to walk into my mouth and then come out from my nose.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52SHE LAUGHS

0:17:52 > 0:17:55And they'd all be covered in slimy snot.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57SHE LAUGHS

0:18:13 > 0:18:17# If strange wooden creatures are something you're craving

0:18:17 > 0:18:20# Then Mount Horeb is for you

0:18:21 > 0:18:24# Because, thanks to close links with things Scandinavian

0:18:24 > 0:18:28# Your hand-carved dreams will come true

0:18:28 > 0:18:32# For lining the streets in this Wisconsin town

0:18:32 > 0:18:35# Are strange ugly wooden souls

0:18:35 > 0:18:39# They draw tourists in from miles around

0:18:39 > 0:18:42# Cos these are the Mount Horeb trolls

0:18:42 > 0:18:46- #- Trolls- Trolls- Trolls- Trolls

0:18:46 > 0:18:47# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:18:47 > 0:18:49# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:18:49 > 0:18:51# Oh, haven't you heard?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:18:55 > 0:18:56# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:18:56 > 0:19:00# It's the troll capital of the world

0:19:00 > 0:19:04# But when did they first appear?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08# Why on earth are they here?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11# Years ago a shop owner thought it would be funny

0:19:11 > 0:19:15# To put trolls outside his shop

0:19:15 > 0:19:17# He though it would entice people

0:19:17 > 0:19:19# In to spend money

0:19:19 > 0:19:22# And sure enough they began to stop

0:19:23 > 0:19:27# But when a bypass took traffic away

0:19:27 > 0:19:30# Locals worried business would fail

0:19:30 > 0:19:34# So more and more trolls have appeared since that day

0:19:34 > 0:19:36# And now Horeb's on the tourist trail

0:19:38 > 0:19:40# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:19:40 > 0:19:42# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:19:42 > 0:19:46# All along the main street

0:19:46 > 0:19:47# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:19:47 > 0:19:49# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:19:49 > 0:19:53# Different trolls you can meet

0:19:53 > 0:19:56# Each carved from wood by hand

0:19:56 > 0:20:00# And Michael Feeney's your man... #

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- He's made Tub Troll.- Tricycle Troll.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Chicken Thief Troll.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06One called The Accordion Player.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Helga. - And Tootsie, the Tooth Fairy Troll.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14And most importantly, The Mayor.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18# They're shabby, unattractive and ugly too

0:20:18 > 0:20:22# Ooh, shall I do the joke about how one looks like you? #

0:20:22 > 0:20:25No, it's a cheap gag, we're better than that.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27- But it really does.- Leave it.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:20:29 > 0:20:31# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:20:31 > 0:20:34# From Norse legends of old

0:20:34 > 0:20:36# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:20:36 > 0:20:38# Tro-o-o-o-oll

0:20:38 > 0:20:41# There's 15 or so here all told

0:20:42 > 0:20:45# And despite what he said... #

0:20:45 > 0:20:48There is one that looks exactly like Ed.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- What?- Nothing.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07- What you doing?- I'm just trying to read an American classic.- Which one?

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Fantastic Four? Batman? Spider-Man? That's a good one.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12No, Iain, has no-one told you?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15We're here at Victorville to celebrate one of the greatest

0:21:15 > 0:21:16characters in American literature.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Oh, I thought we were in Smallville, celebrating Superman.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23No, we're here at the Huck Finn Fest. He's the main character in this book.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25So, when you said main character, I thought you meant

0:21:25 > 0:21:28like Wolverine or something - "I got claws!

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- "I got claws."- All I wanted was some peace and quiet to read my book.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Oh, what a tizzy he gets himself in sometimes!

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Welcome to the Huckleberry Finn Festival.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40It's been celebrating the fictional character,

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Huck Finn, for over 36 years.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Huck was as famous as Harry Potter in his day.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49But obviously without the flying car, the cloak of invisibility,

0:21:49 > 0:21:52the scar down his forehead, the glasses or Voldemort.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56There are loads of events today,

0:21:56 > 0:22:00including the Liars Competition, horseshoe throwing and this,

0:22:00 > 0:22:04the ever-popular "who can climb the highest up a greasy pole?" event.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Come on!- The trick seems to be to hug the poll.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10No-one's got further than that so far.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- All right, your turn. - Go, Ed!- OK, here we go.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- And he's making his way up the pole. - Go, Ed!

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- Oh, it's not as easy as he thought it was.- This is really difficult.

0:22:24 > 0:22:29- Every time I take one step up, I go one step down.- You got it!

0:22:31 > 0:22:33IAIN LAUGHS

0:22:33 > 0:22:37Oh, that was not a comfortable landing. IAIN LAUGHS

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Oh, Ed, let's look at that again. Ow!

0:22:40 > 0:22:42I'm glad I've recorded this - I'm going to watch this all day.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45My tactics will be, "not fall like an idiot, like Ed did."

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Iain's going to have to work pretty hard...

0:22:48 > 0:22:50to be even worse than me at this.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Oh, dear.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Aaargh!- Oh, no, that's lame.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00That's so lame.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07ED LAUGHS

0:23:07 > 0:23:08Argh!

0:23:09 > 0:23:12I got about that far.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Pathetic and appalling.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18It's not as easy as it looks, people at home...

0:23:18 > 0:23:19- Yeah.- ..and voice-over man.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yeah, well, that's what you say,

0:23:21 > 0:23:24but this guy's just taken his nappy off and look how high HE'S going.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25Oh!

0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Oh, he did it!- Someone got to the top, it is possible!

0:23:29 > 0:23:31So Lyle showed these two how it's really done.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Ed marginally won that event

0:23:33 > 0:23:36and Iain has quite literally slipped behind.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Hey! Don't get too smug, mate. Cos what are my two strengths?

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Talking in a Scottish accent

0:23:40 > 0:23:43and presenting television in a mediocre fashion?

0:23:43 > 0:23:45No, horseshoes and throwing.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48And it's the horseshoe-throwing competition next.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50The rules are simple. You have two throws.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Both throws are measured and added together, and the person with

0:23:53 > 0:23:57the shortest combined distance from the peg is the winner.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03Don't embarrass yourself in front of all these people, now.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04THEY GROAN

0:24:08 > 0:24:14Aw, come on. It bounced. It's landed there and ended up miles away.

0:24:14 > 0:24:15Rules are rules, Iain.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18The distance is measured from where the horseshoe ends up,

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- not where it first hits the ground. - That's not good at all.

0:24:21 > 0:24:26- 18 foot 7 inches. - That's taller than me.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29We're European. We're metric - that means nothing to me.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31Well, 18 feet and 7 inches

0:24:31 > 0:24:33is 5½ metres -

0:24:33 > 0:24:35or the length of two large horses.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36So that's what Ed's got to beat.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43What?!

0:24:43 > 0:24:45I can make up for it now. Here we go.

0:24:46 > 0:24:47IAIN LAUGHS

0:24:47 > 0:24:51He didn't even throw it anywhere near far enough.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55It's not much worse than yours, is it? Oh, that is quite bad, actually.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- What are we looking at, Kevin? - We're looking at 12 foot 8.

0:24:58 > 0:24:5912 foot 8.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01That's nearly four metres,

0:25:01 > 0:25:04which is about a horse-and-a-half.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08- He never beat me!- 12 foot 8, 18'- 7". Look, he's the judge, Iain!

0:25:08 > 0:25:11- You're the winner.- I'm not standing for this.- He's the winner.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I'm the winner!

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Don't get too cocky, Ed.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Iain could still snatch the trophy from you in the final event.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Which is the big one, it's the Liars Contest.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Nine people are taking part in the Liars Contest today,

0:25:24 > 0:25:26and the rules are simple.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28The person who can tell the tallest tale

0:25:28 > 0:25:32and gets the biggest round of applause is the winner.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38Hello there. Hello. You see this here on my leg, you see that?

0:25:38 > 0:25:40That's my birthmark.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44Now, I was watching the Highland Games in Scotland,

0:25:44 > 0:25:47in a place called Inverness, and the Royal Family were there.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49And they were wearing kilts,

0:25:49 > 0:25:52which is like a skirt. And I noticed that all the Royal Family

0:25:52 > 0:25:56had the same birthmark as me on their leg.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02And I suddenly realised that I was a member of the British Royal Family.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06That was the only explanation. So I rang up Buckingham Palace...

0:26:08 > 0:26:11As soon as he crosses the water, the girls can't get him.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15And he gets halfway over the bridge, one of the girls reaches out,

0:26:15 > 0:26:19grabs the tail of his horse and pulls the tail off.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22He gets such a fright, he does a massive accident

0:26:22 > 0:26:24all in his trousers.

0:26:24 > 0:26:28And that's why we all wear kilts. Thank you very much. Cheers.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30APPLAUSE

0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Ed and the Queen!- Boo.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36- God bless America! God bless America!- Boo!

0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Iain and the kilt.- Yeah!

0:26:40 > 0:26:45That's a huge American roar for Iain's Scottish fib.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50But has he done enough to win a prize in the overall competition?

0:26:51 > 0:26:55First prize goes to...

0:26:55 > 0:26:57Donna!

0:26:57 > 0:26:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:26:59 > 0:27:03Second prize goes to...

0:27:03 > 0:27:04Daryl!

0:27:04 > 0:27:06APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Third prize goes to...- Come on!

0:27:10 > 0:27:12- ..Iain!- Amazing!

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Iain has come third in the whole competition.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's official, Iain is one of the world's best liars.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21This is... It's quite heavy, this rosette, isn't it?

0:27:21 > 0:27:23I expect you'll be wanting a trophy now, will you?

0:27:23 > 0:27:25- Let's find out who won. - We know who won.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Would you like to announce the winner?

0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Who could it be? - Well, gee, I couldn't imagine,

0:27:29 > 0:27:33but it seems Iain has pulled it off.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Yeah. Huck Finn Fest trophy.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Congratulations! Hands across the sea, and all that.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Thank you very much. Any final words, Ed?- Oh, yeah.

0:27:40 > 0:27:43- God bless America.- God bless it.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46You've been watching All Over The Place USA.
