0:00:02 > 0:00:03It's term-time again and our four magicians

0:00:03 > 0:00:06have left school on a brand-new mission.

0:00:06 > 0:00:10This time, we're taking unsuspecting kids out of school

0:00:10 > 0:00:12and sending them on school trips.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15They're off to visit some amazing locations,

0:00:15 > 0:00:17where they'll witness incredible magic.

0:00:18 > 0:00:22And, once again, we're hiding secret cameras in every corner

0:00:22 > 0:00:24so you don't miss a trick on any school trip.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27How long will it take before the classes shout...

0:00:35 > 0:00:38This is Year Four, mounting their mighty steed

0:00:38 > 0:00:41for a school trip into the past.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43It's a trip to...

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Leeds Castle, deep in the Kent countryside.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48They don't know it yet,

0:00:48 > 0:00:51but this castle's going to give them the creeps.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53The castle we're in today is very old,

0:00:53 > 0:00:55so we're going to play on that with the tricks

0:00:55 > 0:00:57and make it maybe a little bit spooky,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59and there might be some frights along the way.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Here comes the class now

0:01:00 > 0:01:03and they're going to meet our king of conjuring

0:01:03 > 0:01:05with some tales that'll blow their minds

0:01:05 > 0:01:07and chill their spines.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Good afternoon. - ALL SHOUT: Good afternoon!

0:01:09 > 0:01:10Wonderful.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12I'm pleased to tell you that today

0:01:12 > 0:01:15we have several artefacts to show you

0:01:15 > 0:01:17from the time of Catherine of Aragon.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20If I could show this beautiful cabinet here,

0:01:20 > 0:01:23which was kept in her bedroom, next to her bed,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26and inside are kept some of her possessions

0:01:26 > 0:01:30that might have been found in the bedroom in the 1500s.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Not really.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Here we have a bell.

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Not lunchtime yet, though.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38We also have this.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Who can tell me what this is?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Yes.- A tambourine. - It's a tambourine, that's right.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45And it would have been used by the court jesters.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47That's very, very old, indeed.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48And we have this...

0:01:50 > 0:01:52..which is a goblet full of jewels,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54which is very, very old

0:01:54 > 0:01:55and very, very valuable there.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Remember these objects.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59And, last but certainly not least,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02a wonderful picture of Catherine herself.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Beautiful lady, Catherine.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Looks more like Princess Leia from Star Wars!

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Now...

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Let's just pop that back in there

0:02:10 > 0:02:13and if we close up the curtains...

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Nope, nothing funny going on at the back!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Now, in addition to this, another interesting thing

0:02:19 > 0:02:21happened here at the castle, all those years ago.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23You see, it is while Henry was married to...

0:02:23 > 0:02:25BELL RINGS

0:02:25 > 0:02:26What just happened?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35The bell just fell over.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37That's very strange.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40It most certainly is. Must have been a draught!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Anyway, what was I saying?

0:02:42 > 0:02:45That's right, it was while he was married to his first wife,

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Catherine of Aragon, that the King met his second wife and...

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Whoa, the tambourine fell out of the cabinet!

0:02:52 > 0:02:54What on earth?

0:02:54 > 0:02:55There's no-one in there!

0:02:57 > 0:02:59And it's not a spooky coincidence.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04That is very strange, isn't it?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06Strange magic!

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Maybe we should just put that back and carry on.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yes, everything's fine, everything's fine.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15James is enjoying this charade, and it's not over yet.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17He met his second wife, Anne Boleyn,

0:03:17 > 0:03:20as he was married to Catherine of Aragon here at the castle.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22In fact, she was one of the...

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Nervous laughter and hands over mouths -

0:03:26 > 0:03:28this dastardly trick is definitely working.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33- LAUGHTER - They've spotted something untoward.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35THEY CALL OUT

0:03:35 > 0:03:36It's behind you!

0:03:38 > 0:03:41That's alleviated the tension, the picture's changed!

0:03:41 > 0:03:44That's not Catherine of Aragon at all!

0:03:44 > 0:03:47It's now a very strange-looking man indeed.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Putting it mildly, that's John!

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Now, such things can go unexplained -

0:03:54 > 0:03:56as you imagine, this castle is very old.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59However, I do have an explanation

0:03:59 > 0:04:01for the happenings today.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Would you like to know the explanation

0:04:03 > 0:04:05to the wondrous events?

0:04:05 > 0:04:06You see...

0:04:06 > 0:04:08this is not Catherine.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09They know that much.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11His name...

0:04:11 > 0:04:13is John.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15The truth will out!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17And I'm a magician.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19And you've all been set up

0:04:19 > 0:04:21by your teachers and your parents

0:04:21 > 0:04:25and you're being filmed on cameras there and there and there

0:04:25 > 0:04:29for CBBC's Help, My School Trip Is Magic!

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Wow, that magic featured a strange presence from the past,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39but how did the class remember it?

0:04:39 > 0:04:42It was really amazing.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44She was one of the...

0:04:45 > 0:04:47I felt like I was dreaming,

0:04:47 > 0:04:49because I knew that couldn't possibly be real.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53It was real, all right - really magic.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56They didn't see it coming and they couldn't work it out.
