0:00:02 > 0:00:05# If mummies, rats and fleas ain't your thing
0:00:05 > 0:00:08# And you don't like the sound of an exploding king
0:00:08 > 0:00:10# If you're easily scared and don't laugh at poo
0:00:10 > 0:00:14# You'd better turn off This show ain't for you
0:00:14 > 0:00:18# Still watching? Then let's test your brains
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# With Horrible Histories Gory Games
0:00:21 > 0:00:23# Horrible Histories Gory...
0:00:23 > 0:00:24# Games! #
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, and welcome to Gory Games with me, Dave Lamb,
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- and my ir-rat-ating assistant, Rattus Rattus.- "Ir-rat-ating"?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33That's very funny. But it's not very nice.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37No, it's not, and neither is using my toothbrush as a back scratcher.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- Yeah... Ah. Er, fair enough. Apologies.- Yes...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43This is the show where you get to test your knowledge
0:00:43 > 0:00:46of Horrible Histories by playing games that cover you
0:00:46 > 0:00:49not only in glory but also in gunge.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52So, let's meet today's foolhardy Horrible Historians.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Hi. I'm George. - I'm Hope.- Hi, I'm Saklane.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Lovely to see you all. - And you can play along at home, too,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01using the brilliant Gory Games app.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04If you haven't got it yet, go to the CBBC website.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09George, Hope, Saklane, you are playing to win Year Spheres.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Each Year Sphere contains a historical date,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14and at the end of the show your Year Sphere dates will be added
0:01:14 > 0:01:17together with AD dates being "ADded" to your total
0:01:17 > 0:01:21and BC dates being "suBtraCted" from it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24So if these were your Year Spheres, your total would be, Rattus...?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26735.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Yes! That's right! Say that again.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33- Three.- Yeah, I thought that was too good to be true. 735 is the answer.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score
0:01:35 > 0:01:37will win a unique historical prize.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40That's right, something I've chosen myself.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Which, sadly, can only be bad news.- Oi!- Well...!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Right, let's get cracking. And to find out who this round's about,
0:01:47 > 0:01:48it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51It's the Awful Egyptians.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Four questions on the Awful Egyptians coming up.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And your four Egyptian topics are:
0:02:04 > 0:02:07George, it's your turn to pick first in this round. What do you fancy?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Erm, Pyramids, please.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- Pyramids!- True or false:
0:02:11 > 0:02:14pyramids, our burial tombs, were built near the Nile
0:02:14 > 0:02:18so in the afterlife we could have a nice view of the mighty river.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Pyramids were built near the Nile so that in the afterlife
0:02:23 > 0:02:27the pharaohs would have a nice view of the mighty river.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Let's see those answers now, please.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35OK! Hope and Saklane agreeing on true, George is on his own on false
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and looks like he's beginning to regret it. Let's see who's right.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39It's false.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42They were built near the Nile as the huge stones had to be
0:02:42 > 0:02:44carried from quarries by boat.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Nothing to worry about, George, you were absolutely right.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50You get the first point. Hope, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Can I have Pets, please?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Pets. That's a question from my esteemed colleague Mr Rattus Rattus.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58True or false:
0:02:58 > 0:03:03after they died, wealthy people had their pet cats mummified, as well.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Mm... So, what do you think? Is that true or is that false?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Let's see those answers now, please.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Everybody has gone for true. Interesting.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Rattus, are they all right or all wrong?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19They are all...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- right! - HE LAUGHS
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Yes, it's true! And I certainly am in favour of cats being mummified.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29All cats. Whether alive or dead. The sooner the better!
0:03:29 > 0:03:31RATTUS LAUGHS
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- What? I'm a rodent! I don't like cats.- Yes, that is coming across.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Saklane, your turn to pick a topic.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Dates.- Dates.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42That is a prop question.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45We love a prop question, especially one we can eat after.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Not yet. There they are, dates. True or false:
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Egyptians used trained goats to pick dates from tall trees.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I think you'll find the answer's true.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Or maybe false.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Let's see those answers now, please.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Everybody has gone for false. I can tell you that it is...
0:04:06 > 0:04:10false. Well done. They used trained baboons, in fact.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Right, George, you're in the lead with three,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15but anyone could catch up by getting this right.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18The final question in this round is on Servants.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20True or false:
0:04:20 > 0:04:22us pharaohs did very little for ourselves,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25and even had a servant to wipe our bottoms.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Bottom! - HE LAUGHS
0:04:29 > 0:04:30It's...
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Bottom!
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I do apologise. Rattus finds the word "bottom" extremely amusing.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37RATTUS LAUGHS
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Enough now, Rattus. OK, let's see those answers now, please.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Everybody has gone for true. What's the answer?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45It's true.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Didn't honestly expect me to do it myself, did you?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Anyway, being a royal bum wiper was a top job.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, more of a bottom one.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55RATTUS AND PHARAOH LAUGH
0:04:55 > 0:04:58There's that B word again. It's set him off, I'm afraid.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02At the end of that round, George, you have got maximum points.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Fantastic! And that means that you have won the quiz.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- It's time to pick a Year Sphere. - Push, push, push, push, push!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09RATTUS LAUGHS
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Hey, George, there we go. Come and pick a Year Sphere. Go on.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Do you want a clue?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- I haven't got a clue.- You said it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oi, cheeky!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- You sure that's the one you want?- Yes.- OK.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Push, push, push, push, push, push!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So, winning the quiz means that George is automatically through
0:05:24 > 0:05:27to play the Egyptian game, but will he be alone
0:05:27 > 0:05:30or will everyone get to play? Let's find out.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35It's an all-play silly game!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39So it's off down the Time Sewer with the lot of you! Lead on, Saklane.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- See ya, George!- It stinks!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49RATTUS CHUCKLES
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Now, Egyptian pharaoh King Pepi II was just six years old
0:05:53 > 0:05:55when he came to the throne, which might explain
0:05:55 > 0:05:58some of his more unusual ideas, such as this one.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Flies were a huge problem in ancient Egypt,
0:06:01 > 0:06:02but King Pepi had a solution -
0:06:02 > 0:06:05pour honey over slaves and stand them in the corners of the room
0:06:05 > 0:06:07to attract the flies.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08It's time to play...
0:06:10 > 0:06:11You are a honey slave.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Your challenge - to catch as many flies on your honey suit
0:06:14 > 0:06:15and fly swat as possible.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The person who catches the most flies in the time limit wins
0:06:18 > 0:06:23the Year Sphere. And here come those flies, in three, two, one.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24HOOTER BLARES
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, here we go, then, with the Egyptian honey slaves,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and they're trying to catch those flies on their fly swats
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- and on their person, Rattus. - They certainly are, Dave.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Of course, their person being covered, smothered in honey.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Yeah, absolutely. And there's a lovely spread of flies, isn't there?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Very much being spread out there in a nice, wide arc.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Got our contestants running around a bit, which I like to see.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Mm, honey and flies! Or as I call it,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- sweet and sour. - HE LAUGHS
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Truly revolting. - Can you smell them on my breath?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59RATTUS BREATHES OUT
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Ohhh! Oh, what a hoy that was.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07George has managed to use both sides of his swat, which is
0:07:07 > 0:07:10an excellent move early doors, and Hope's done the same.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12No flies about their person as yet.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Maybe that honey not quite as sticky as they thought.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17George and Hope in the lead together there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Oh, and George has taken the lead on his own.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- BELL TOLLS - 30 seconds remaining.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25There's 30 seconds left, so they'll want to get catching those flies.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28George and Hope level pegging now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Maybe, Rattus, you might want to think about brushing your teeth
0:07:31 > 0:07:35one day, as well, just going back to that breath stink earlier.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Just have a think about it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Saklane has got one on his head! Oh, and they're coming thick
0:07:40 > 0:07:43and fast now at the end of the game, the flies. Look at that! Fly!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Fly, fly, fly! No wonder King Pepi wanted to get rid of them!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49They're everywhere! There are flies everywhere!
0:07:49 > 0:07:50- BUZZER - Time's up.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55That's the end of the game, and Hope has been the best at catching flies.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Stick her in the corner and cover her in honey.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Welcome back.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Back behind your podiums, please.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Marvellous. And the winner, with 14, was Hope.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09So, congratulations, Hope. Help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- This one.- Ooh, is that one a good one or is it a bad one?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16We will find out at the end of the show.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19On to round two, and to find out what's up next,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23It's the Vicious Vikings.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Four questions again, and here are your all-important Viking topics.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Hope, it's your turn to pick first this time.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- What are you going to go for? - I'll go for Toilets, please.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Toilets! And, not surprisingly, that is a question from Mr Rattus Rattus.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I don't know why you're assuming that.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- HE CLEARS HIS THROAT - Which of these would Vikings use
0:08:47 > 0:08:48instead of toilet paper?
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Ouch! What do you think? Is that A, B or C?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Let's see your answers now, please.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06OK! The boys agreeing on A, Hope out on her own with B.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07What's the answer, Rattus?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Well, I can tell you it's actually
0:09:10 > 0:09:11A, moss.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yes, so next time you're about to sit on some moss,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- do first check it for Viking poop. - HE LAUGHS
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Safety first. OK, Saklane, it's your turn to choose a topic.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Let's see. Deaths.- Deaths.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Let's see if you know this one. My question is:
0:09:38 > 0:09:43Was it A, stones, B, dinner plates or C, cow bones?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46There they are, all in total agreement.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Are they all wrong or all right?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Let me put you out of your misery. The answer is...
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I've had cow bones thrown at me, too,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00when I was spotted in my local butcher's.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03You were lucky to get away with just cow bones, to be honest.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- George, it's your turn to pick a topic.- Explorers, please.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- Explorers!- Answer me this, if you can.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25Was it A, Iceland, B, Australia or C, America?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Let's see your answers now, please.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32OK, Hope and Saklane going for A, George out on his own on C
0:10:32 > 0:10:36and looking very, very alarmed by that! Who's right?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38The fact is, it's...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Well, there you go, George.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46That's right, a Viking was the first European to land in America,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- over 1,000 years ago.- Did you learn about that in school, Dave?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Or were you actually on the ship?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Oh, dear. Right, one question left in this round.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00George, if you were to get it right, you would win another Year Sphere.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Your final question is on Word Plays, and here it is.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08We Vikings loved to use "kennings", or word play,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10but what did we mean when we spoke of
0:11:10 > 0:11:12"the sweat of the sword"? Did we mean:
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Well, a really tricky one to finish with. What do you think?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Is that A, B or C? Let's see your answers now, please.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31OK, the boys going for B, Hope on her own with C. What's the answer?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37We also called blood "the sea of the wound".
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Well, er, we needed quite a lot of words for blood.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40We spilled a lot of it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42A lot.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44RATTUS LAUGHS It's true, though, isn't it, Rattus?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- It is very true. Those naughty Vikings!- They were very naughty!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50So, at the end of that round, George,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52you've got a maximum score for the second time!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55That means you've won the Year Sphere. Help yourself.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59So, George, you have won the quiz, and because of that,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01you're through to play the Viking game.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04But will it be just you, or will the others get to play, too?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Let's find out.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Ooh, it's a single-player brainy game!
0:12:12 > 0:12:16So, George, get your thinking cap on and get back down that Time Sewer.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Whoo-ooh!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Whoo-ooh! Funny way to say goodbye.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Vikings didn't just raid Britain. Many of them stayed.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Must have liked our lovely weather.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32And some Viking words have since become part of the English language.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34It's time to play...
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Seven words, but two don't come from the Vikings.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Your challenge - to work out which five do.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Choose five words and move them to the Viking board,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46then touch the Viking axe - not the sharp bit, mind -
0:12:46 > 0:12:49to find out how many you've got right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Keep trying new combinations of names until you've got all five.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54But you've got to be quick - you're against the clock.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57And your time starts now! HOOTER BLARES
0:12:58 > 0:13:02He's looking for five Viking words.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04WELCOME is the first one he's gone for.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Is he going to do this? Why not have a guess on the Gory Games app?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11RANSACK - well, that sounds right, doesn't it, Rattus?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13RATTUS CHUCKLES Here he goes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15What's his third choice going to be?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18NAUSEA. Interesting. Interesting choice.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23SCREAM - that sounds as if it might be right to me, as well.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24RATTUS SCREAMS
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You're not going to act them all out, are you?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Oh, IDIOT - maybe you are!
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- And he touches the axe. - You have three right.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34He's got three right! Two of those are wrong. And off comes NAUSEA.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36SCARE looks better than NAUSEA to me.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39SCARE looks a very Viking word, in my opinion.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42He's not touched the axe! How's he going to know if that's correct?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Never mind, he's taken off IDIOT and he's put on HIT.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Well, let's see. Maybe he doesn't need another go.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48You have all five right!
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- No, he doesn't! He's got all five! - He's there!- He's got all five.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Celebration!- It's game over.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Well played, well played indeed.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Go and grab yourself a Year Sphere, why don't you?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03So, you're quite right, IDIOT and NAUSEA aren't Viking words.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05They actually come from Greek.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08SCARE, HIT, RANSACK, SCREAM are words we get from the Vikings,
0:14:08 > 0:14:10as, rather surprisingly, is WELCOME.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Obviously, SCREAM is a Viking word.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15They needed a word for that thing people did when they saw them.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19That is true. Over to the Gory Grid, then, to find out what's up next.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22It's the Gorgeous Georgians.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Four questions, as always, and here are your four Georgian topics.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33So, Saklane, it's your turn to pick first.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- What are you going to go for? - Kings.- Kings.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39That is a question from Mr Rattus Rattus.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44At the end of the Georgian era, which king reigned after George I,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48George II, George III and George IV?
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Was it:
0:14:57 > 0:14:59So, what do you think?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Let's see those answers now, please.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04There we go, everybody has gone for B.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08No-one has gone for King Rattus I, thankfully.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- What's the answer, Rattus? - The answer is...
0:15:14 > 0:15:16A bit of a trick question, I admit,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20but the last king of the Georgian era wasn't a George. Oh, no.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21And just in case you were wondering,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Dave, King Rattus I is going to be the next king of Britain.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26In your dreams.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Right, George, your turn to pick a topic.- Erm, Napoleonic Wars, please.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Napoleonic Wars.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34When Britain was at war with France,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37a French warship sank off the coast of Hartlepool,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41and the only survivor was an animal dressed in French military uniform.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43But what kind of animal was it?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Was it A, a cat...
0:15:49 > 0:15:52RATTUS SPITS ..B, a horse, or C, a monkey?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57OK, they've all completely agreed with each other again on C.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Let's find out if that's the answer.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02The answer is C, a monkey.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04The good people of Hartlepool, having never seen a Frenchman,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07assumed the monkey was one and, after a brief trial,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09had the monkey executed.
0:16:09 > 0:16:15- Oh! It's horrible. It's horrible! But it's true.- Yeah. Grisly. Grisly!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- So, Hope, it's your turn to pick a topic.- Er, Pets, please.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Pets it is.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Oh, this is exciting! The question is:
0:16:39 > 0:16:43What do you think? Is it A, B or C? Let's see those answers now, please.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51Up they come. The boys agreeing on A, Hope out on her own with B.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Let's find out.- I can tell you, the answer is...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Well! Who'd have thought that, eh?
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Well, Hope would, because she got it right.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03RATTUS LAUGHS
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- It's true.- It is true.- It's true. - Bad luck, though, George.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08That means you can't get your maximum.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10But you are still in this round with one question left,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and that question is on Puffers.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What was Captain Richard's Puffer?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18A, a steam train, B, a treatment for asthma,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21or C, a Georgian factory chimney.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25So, what was Captain Richard's puffer?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Was it A, a steam train, B, a treatment for asthma
0:17:29 > 0:17:31or C, a Georgian factory chimney?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38That is C for George and Hope, B for Saklane. Let's find out who's right.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40The answer is A.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44It was a steam train built by Richard Trevithick in 1804.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It was the first ever to run on rails.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I wonder if it was due in 1704.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53You know, the first train arrived in 1804, so it was a bit late!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- GEORGIAN MAN:- Oh...
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- I don't get it. - Oh, suit yourself. Georgians!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yep, I know what you mean.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Excellent. Well, at the end of that round, we see that Hope,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07with three points, is the winner of the Year Sphere.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Help yourself, Hope.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So, Hope, you're through to play the Georgian game.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Will it be just you, or is everyone else coming along? Let's find out.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Well, it's a single-play silly game!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24So, Hope, off down the Time Sewer with you.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Laters!
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Laters... RATTUS CHUCKLES
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Picture the scene.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35It's the 21st of October 1805, and the British Royal Navy are about
0:18:35 > 0:18:38to face the might of the combined French and Spanish fleets.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's time to play:
0:18:41 > 0:18:44You are a British Navy gunner.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Your mission - to load, aim and fire your cannon at the enemy ships.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50You score a point for every enemy ship you shoot
0:18:50 > 0:18:52and lose a point for every British ship you hit.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Score six points in the time limit to win your Year Sphere.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58And battle begins now!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00HOOTER BLARES So, here comes Hope to play
0:19:00 > 0:19:02the Battle of Trafalgar.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06And straight away I'm noticing that that ship is moving about.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- It's a rough day at sea today, Rattus.- It certainly is.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Oh, that was close! That pinged up off the sea.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I don't know how she did that. A bit like skimming stones, I suppose.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18But it didn't trouble the ship.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Oh, and she's done it again. Again, incredibly close,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27but again a little skimmer. She's wrestling with that cannon!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29She's already got two balls away here.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33But she's not struck an enemy vessel as yet.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I have to say, Hope has been very unlucky here.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39They're all in the right ball park but not striking the target.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Again, another good example of that.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44She really is wrestling with that cannon nicely.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46There's the first!
0:19:46 > 0:19:50There's the first successful strike, a Spanish galleon off to
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Davy Jones's locker down at the bottom of the old ocean.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56There's the seagull back again. Afternoon, squire.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59There's another one. She's doing very, very well,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02but she is running out of time, and if anything, she's speeding up.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05This is an incredible performance, actually. Another ship goes down!
0:20:05 > 0:20:09She could just about still do this if she doesn't miss another ship.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Oh, and she's missed there. I think that one may cost her.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15But she's struggling on manfully.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17This is an extraordinary performance from Hope.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Oh, just two more needed now, but she's running out of time.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24She's wrestling with her cannon while the ship is being tossed
0:20:24 > 0:20:26and turned on what is now a mountainous sea.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28She strikes the last one... HOOTER BLARES
0:20:28 > 0:20:32..right on the hooter, and after an absolutely heroic effort,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36I'm afraid it's not quite worked out for Hope.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Very bad luck. Well, what an amazing effort that was.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44And you just missed it by one. But it was a very, very good effort.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Very bad luck.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48After Admiral Lord Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51a magnificent memorial was erected in his honour,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55and he can now be seen on top of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00In life, Nelson was fired upon by enemy snipers. In death...
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Nelson is fired upon by enemy pigeons.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05RATTUS LAUGHS Time for the final round.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13No quirky quiz in our final round.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17It's straight to our big all-play Middle Ages endgame,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and it is a very messy one!
0:21:20 > 0:21:25- Everybody, get back down that Time Sewer one last time.- See ya!
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Green, rolling fields, the smell of freshly cut grass,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33lambs prancing in the springtime.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Not my relatives - actual lambs.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38That's what I try to imagine while we're playing our next game,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41because it's absolutely disgusting. Yes, we're going...
0:21:43 > 0:21:46"Gong," I'm afraid, was a Middle Ages word for poo,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and your job is to collect the "gong" from the cesspit,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52carry it along your lane and slop it into your measuring cylinder.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Whoever collects the most collects the Year Sphere.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59But beware, some Middle Ages types would poo directly
0:21:59 > 0:22:02onto the street below, so mind your heads.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Ready, steady, get sloppin'!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07HOOTER BLARES
0:22:07 > 0:22:10So, here we go, then, with the Gong Farming, and believe you me,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13it may look dry out there at the moment, but by the end
0:22:13 > 0:22:17of this game the place is going to be crawling with gong.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Here they go, then, with their first payload being taken out.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Look at that! George was down there like a flash,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25but not a huge amount of gong delivered.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- But THAT is a lot of gong. - Oh, Hope has a full bucket there.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Brimming. Brimming, to the brimful, with poop.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Yeah, that was an awful lot of poo that Hope managed to get down that
0:22:35 > 0:22:39lane for the first effort, and she's filled up again magnificently there.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42George is the quickest over the ground, there's no doubt about that,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46and Saklane is doing an admirable job over there in the yellow lane.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48But Hope is doing remarkably well!
0:22:49 > 0:22:52That's her second full bucket there, Dave.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Saklane and George are only getting pitiful
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- amounts of gong at this point.- Yeah, but they are making multiple trips.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02It's a clash of styles. Oh, and that's bad news for Saklane.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Oh, that is very bad news, because that lane will now be slippery.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Watch this, he's going to struggle here.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Yeah, there he goes. No such problems for Hope.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Another full bucket delivered there.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Problems for George, though.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22This is the trouble with gong - it gets absolutely everywhere,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and once it's on your lane,
0:23:24 > 0:23:28it really is a mighty problem that you've got to overcome.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30RATTUS LAUGHS Everyone falling everywhere!
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I think, actually, George has become separated from his bucket there.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Meanwhile, Hope is just quietly going about her business.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42She's not spilt a drop, although now the gong has fallen
0:23:42 > 0:23:44and so now everyone is in trouble.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48And I wouldn't be surprised if no-one can stand up from here on in.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- BELL TOLLS - 30 seconds remaining.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Look, there we go, that's the kind of thing.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Yeah, she's down straight away. But she already may have done enough.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56That's a deluge of dung.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Now, how's George going to get up here with a bucket full of gong
0:23:59 > 0:24:02and a slippery runway? I don't think he's got much hope, to be honest.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Saklane looks as if he's all but given up, and I don't blame him.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09It really is treacherous out there, as Hope is demonstrating.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13And there we go, George is going for the commando crawl.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15He's commando-crawling through... HOOTER BLARES
0:24:15 > 0:24:17..at least two inches of gong.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Time's up.- There's the hooter, it's all over.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Hope is victorious, because she has collected a lot of poo
0:24:22 > 0:24:25while the boys have just been rolling around in it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30There's poo everywhere, Dave. It's like a strange and beautiful dream.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Ohhh...
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Thankfully, they've cleaned themselves up a bit.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Go and stand behind your podiums.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39That looked incredibly, incredibly messy.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Hope, that was a clever technique. You walked slowly, deliberately,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45making sure you didn't spill anything.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I knew from the start that if I did it slowly but got more gunge,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- I might have a better chance. - It was very clever.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Whereas the boys were haring up and down, spilling stuff,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55falling all over the place. It was very interesting.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Hope, you were our winner, so help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03Um...
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- No.- Ooh, a last-minute change of heart. Could that be crucial?
0:25:07 > 0:25:08We'll find out shortly.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Apparently, the gases from the gong could sometimes cause gong
0:25:11 > 0:25:14farmers to fall unconscious and drown in poo.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- RATTUS GASPS - That's the way I want to go!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19I thought you wanted to go while eating a mouldy pickled onion.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22I do. That's what I'm doing when I fall in the poo.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Brilliant.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Time to count up those Year Spheres.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29And remember, AD years are added to your total
0:25:29 > 0:25:32and BC years are subtracted from it, so, Saklane,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36that means you are still very much in with a chance of winning this.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Let's count up the Year Spheres.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40George, will you open your first Year Sphere for me, please?
0:25:42 > 0:25:4530 BC. It's bad, but it's not disastrous.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49It's also the year that Queen Cleopatra died.
0:25:49 > 0:25:531854 AD, the beginning of the Crimean War.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58You're back in the game. Let's have a look at that third one.
0:25:58 > 0:26:001453 AD, the end of the Hundred Years' War,
0:26:00 > 0:26:05which means you've ended up with a very positive score indeed, George.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09That total is 3,277, a good score,
0:26:09 > 0:26:10which means that,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Saklane, I'm afraid, with no Year Spheres, you can no longer win.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Now, Hope, you still can. Let's have a look at your first sphere.
0:26:20 > 0:26:2579 AD. Pompeii destroyed by Mount Vesuvius.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32Oh, dear me! 10,500 BC!
0:26:32 > 0:26:34The end of the last ice age.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38But that's cold comfort, I'm afraid, for you, isn't it, Hope?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Let's have a look at your final sphere anyway.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Oh, dear me, it's 110,000 BC!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Neanderthals first came to Britain round about then.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52You've ended up with a score of -120,421,
0:26:52 > 0:26:57which means that today's winner, with 3,277 points,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00is George, who'll be taking home our star prize.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02But don't get too excited -
0:27:02 > 0:27:05it was plucked out of the Time Sewer by my little colleague here.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I'll have you know, Mr Lamb,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11today the award for our lucky winner is food fit for a king.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14In fact, it's exactly what Charles II himself liked to
0:27:14 > 0:27:16have on his eggs in the morning.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Oh, right! So, what, freshly caught smoked salmon, was it?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Maybe a shaved truffle? Caviar?
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Even better!
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Whale phlegm!
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Of course, back in Stuart times they called it ambergris.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- It's basically the snot from a whale's blowhole.- Charming.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- We have hit a new all-time low. - So, con-rat-ulations, George.
