# Horrible Histories Gory...

0:00:210:00:23

# Games! #

0:00:230:00:24

Hello, and welcome to Gory Games with me, Dave Lamb,

0:00:240:00:27

-and my ir-rat-ating assistant, Rattus Rattus.

-"Ir-rat-ating"?

0:00:270:00:31

That's very funny. But it's not very nice.

0:00:310:00:33

No, it's not, and neither is using my toothbrush as a back scratcher.

0:00:330:00:37

-Yeah... Ah. Er, fair enough. Apologies.

-Yes...

0:00:370:00:41

This is the show where you get to test your knowledge

0:00:410:00:43

of Horrible Histories by playing games that cover you

0:00:430:00:46

not only in glory but also in gunge.

0:00:460:00:49

So, let's meet today's foolhardy Horrible Historians.

0:00:490:00:52

-Hi. I'm George.

-I'm Hope.

-Hi, I'm Saklane.

0:00:520:00:55

-Lovely to see you all.

-And you can play along at home, too,

0:00:550:00:58

using the brilliant Gory Games app.

0:00:580:01:01

If you haven't got it yet, go to the CBBC website.

0:01:010:01:04

George, Hope, Saklane, you are playing to win Year Spheres.

0:01:040:01:09

Each Year Sphere contains a historical date,

0:01:090:01:12

and at the end of the show your Year Sphere dates will be added

0:01:120:01:14

together with AD dates being "ADded" to your total

0:01:140:01:17

and BC dates being "suBtraCted" from it.

0:01:170:01:21

So if these were your Year Spheres, your total would be, Rattus...?

0:01:210:01:24

735.

0:01:240:01:26

Yes! That's right! Say that again.

0:01:260:01:28

-Three.

-Yeah, I thought that was too good to be true. 735 is the answer.

0:01:280:01:33

At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score

0:01:330:01:35

will win a unique historical prize.

0:01:350:01:37

That's right, something I've chosen myself.

0:01:370:01:40

-Which, sadly, can only be bad news.

-Oi!

-Well...!

0:01:400:01:43

Right, let's get cracking. And to find out who this round's about,

0:01:430:01:47

it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:01:470:01:48

It's the Awful Egyptians.

0:01:480:01:51

Four questions on the Awful Egyptians coming up.

0:01:510:01:54

The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.

0:01:540:01:57

And your four Egyptian topics are:

0:01:570:02:00

George, it's your turn to pick first in this round. What do you fancy?

0:02:040:02:07

Erm, Pyramids, please.

0:02:070:02:09

-Pyramids!

-True or false:

0:02:090:02:11

pyramids, our burial tombs, were built near the Nile

0:02:110:02:14

so in the afterlife we could have a nice view of the mighty river.

0:02:140:02:18

Pyramids were built near the Nile so that in the afterlife

0:02:180:02:23

the pharaohs would have a nice view of the mighty river.

0:02:230:02:27

Let's see those answers now, please.

0:02:270:02:30

OK! Hope and Saklane agreeing on true, George is on his own on false

0:02:300:02:35

and looks like he's beginning to regret it. Let's see who's right.

0:02:350:02:38

It's false.

0:02:380:02:39

They were built near the Nile as the huge stones had to be

0:02:390:02:42

carried from quarries by boat.

0:02:420:02:44

Nothing to worry about, George, you were absolutely right.

0:02:440:02:47

You get the first point. Hope, it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:02:470:02:50

Can I have Pets, please?

0:02:500:02:52

Pets. That's a question from my esteemed colleague Mr Rattus Rattus.

0:02:520:02:57

True or false:

0:02:570:02:58

after they died, wealthy people had their pet cats mummified, as well.

0:02:580:03:03

Mm... So, what do you think? Is that true or is that false?

0:03:030:03:08

Let's see those answers now, please.

0:03:080:03:11

Everybody has gone for true. Interesting.

0:03:110:03:14

Rattus, are they all right or all wrong?

0:03:140:03:16

They are all...

0:03:160:03:19

-right!

-HE LAUGHS

0:03:190:03:21

Yes, it's true! And I certainly am in favour of cats being mummified.

0:03:210:03:25

All cats. Whether alive or dead. The sooner the better!

0:03:250:03:29

RATTUS LAUGHS

0:03:290:03:31

-What? I'm a rodent! I don't like cats.

-Yes, that is coming across.

0:03:310:03:35

Saklane, your turn to pick a topic.

0:03:350:03:38

-Dates.

-Dates.

0:03:380:03:40

That is a prop question.

0:03:400:03:42

We love a prop question, especially one we can eat after.

0:03:420:03:45

Not yet. There they are, dates. True or false:

0:03:450:03:49

Egyptians used trained goats to pick dates from tall trees.

0:03:490:03:54

I think you'll find the answer's true.

0:03:540:03:56

Or maybe false.

0:03:560:03:58

Let's see those answers now, please.

0:03:580:04:01

Everybody has gone for false. I can tell you that it is...

0:04:020:04:06

false. Well done. They used trained baboons, in fact.

0:04:060:04:10

Right, George, you're in the lead with three,

0:04:100:04:12

but anyone could catch up by getting this right.

0:04:120:04:15

The final question in this round is on Servants.

0:04:150:04:18

True or false:

0:04:180:04:20

us pharaohs did very little for ourselves,

0:04:200:04:22

and even had a servant to wipe our bottoms.

0:04:220:04:25

-Bottom!

-HE LAUGHS

0:04:260:04:29

It's...

0:04:290:04:30

Bottom!

0:04:300:04:31

I do apologise. Rattus finds the word "bottom" extremely amusing.

0:04:310:04:35

RATTUS LAUGHS

0:04:350:04:37

Enough now, Rattus. OK, let's see those answers now, please.

0:04:370:04:40

Everybody has gone for true. What's the answer?

0:04:400:04:44

It's true.

0:04:440:04:45

Didn't honestly expect me to do it myself, did you?

0:04:450:04:49

Anyway, being a royal bum wiper was a top job.

0:04:490:04:52

Well, more of a bottom one.

0:04:520:04:54

RATTUS AND PHARAOH LAUGH

0:04:540:04:55

There's that B word again. It's set him off, I'm afraid.

0:04:550:04:58

At the end of that round, George, you have got maximum points.

0:04:580:05:02

Fantastic! And that means that you have won the quiz.

0:05:020:05:05

-It's time to pick a Year Sphere.

-Push, push, push, push, push!

0:05:050:05:08

RATTUS LAUGHS

0:05:080:05:09

Hey, George, there we go. Come and pick a Year Sphere. Go on.

0:05:090:05:13

Do you want a clue?

0:05:130:05:14

-I haven't got a clue.

-You said it.

0:05:140:05:16

Oi, cheeky!

0:05:160:05:18

-You sure that's the one you want?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:05:180:05:20

Push, push, push, push, push, push!

0:05:200:05:21

So, winning the quiz means that George is automatically through

0:05:210:05:24

to play the Egyptian game, but will he be alone

0:05:240:05:27

or will everyone get to play? Let's find out.

0:05:270:05:30

It's an all-play silly game!

0:05:330:05:35

So it's off down the Time Sewer with the lot of you! Lead on, Saklane.

0:05:350:05:39

-See ya, George!

-It stinks!

0:05:440:05:46

RATTUS CHUCKLES

0:05:460:05:49

Now, Egyptian pharaoh King Pepi II was just six years old

0:05:490:05:53

when he came to the throne, which might explain

0:05:530:05:55

some of his more unusual ideas, such as this one.

0:05:550:05:58

Flies were a huge problem in ancient Egypt,

0:05:580:06:01

but King Pepi had a solution -

0:06:010:06:02

pour honey over slaves and stand them in the corners of the room

0:06:020:06:05

to attract the flies.

0:06:050:06:07

It's time to play...

0:06:070:06:08

You are a honey slave.

0:06:100:06:11

Your challenge - to catch as many flies on your honey suit

0:06:110:06:14

and fly swat as possible.

0:06:140:06:15

The person who catches the most flies in the time limit wins

0:06:150:06:18

the Year Sphere. And here come those flies, in three, two, one.

0:06:180:06:23

HOOTER BLARES

0:06:230:06:24

So, here we go, then, with the Egyptian honey slaves,

0:06:240:06:27

and they're trying to catch those flies on their fly swats

0:06:270:06:30

-and on their person, Rattus.

-They certainly are, Dave.

0:06:300:06:34

Of course, their person being covered, smothered in honey.

0:06:340:06:38

Yeah, absolutely. And there's a lovely spread of flies, isn't there?

0:06:380:06:41

Very much being spread out there in a nice, wide arc.

0:06:410:06:44

Got our contestants running around a bit, which I like to see.

0:06:440:06:47

Mm, honey and flies! Or as I call it,

0:06:470:06:51

-sweet and sour.

-HE LAUGHS

0:06:510:06:53

-Truly revolting.

-Can you smell them on my breath?

0:06:550:06:58

RATTUS BREATHES OUT

0:06:580:06:59

Ohhh! Oh, what a hoy that was.

0:06:590:07:02

George has managed to use both sides of his swat, which is

0:07:040:07:07

an excellent move early doors, and Hope's done the same.

0:07:070:07:10

No flies about their person as yet.

0:07:100:07:12

Maybe that honey not quite as sticky as they thought.

0:07:120:07:15

George and Hope in the lead together there.

0:07:150:07:17

Oh, and George has taken the lead on his own.

0:07:170:07:20

-BELL TOLLS

-30 seconds remaining.

0:07:200:07:22

There's 30 seconds left, so they'll want to get catching those flies.

0:07:220:07:25

George and Hope level pegging now.

0:07:250:07:28

Maybe, Rattus, you might want to think about brushing your teeth

0:07:280:07:31

one day, as well, just going back to that breath stink earlier.

0:07:310:07:35

Just have a think about it.

0:07:350:07:37

Saklane has got one on his head! Oh, and they're coming thick

0:07:370:07:40

and fast now at the end of the game, the flies. Look at that! Fly!

0:07:400:07:43

Fly, fly, fly! No wonder King Pepi wanted to get rid of them!

0:07:430:07:46

They're everywhere! There are flies everywhere!

0:07:460:07:49

-BUZZER

-Time's up.

0:07:490:07:50

That's the end of the game, and Hope has been the best at catching flies.

0:07:500:07:55

Stick her in the corner and cover her in honey.

0:07:550:07:57

Welcome back.

0:07:570:07:59

Back behind your podiums, please.

0:07:590:08:02

Marvellous. And the winner, with 14, was Hope.

0:08:020:08:05

So, congratulations, Hope. Help yourself to a Year Sphere.

0:08:050:08:09

-This one.

-Ooh, is that one a good one or is it a bad one?

0:08:110:08:14

We will find out at the end of the show.

0:08:140:08:16

On to round two, and to find out what's up next,

0:08:160:08:19

it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:08:190:08:21

It's the Vicious Vikings.

0:08:210:08:23

Four questions again, and here are your all-important Viking topics.

0:08:230:08:27

Hope, it's your turn to pick first this time.

0:08:320:08:34

-What are you going to go for?

-I'll go for Toilets, please.

0:08:340:08:37

Toilets! And, not surprisingly, that is a question from Mr Rattus Rattus.

0:08:370:08:41

I don't know why you're assuming that.

0:08:410:08:43

-HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

-Which of these would Vikings use

0:08:430:08:47

instead of toilet paper?

0:08:470:08:48

Ouch! What do you think? Is that A, B or C?

0:08:550:08:59

Let's see your answers now, please.

0:08:590:09:02

OK! The boys agreeing on A, Hope out on her own with B.

0:09:020:09:06

What's the answer, Rattus?

0:09:060:09:07

Well, I can tell you it's actually

0:09:070:09:10

A, moss.

0:09:100:09:11

Yes, so next time you're about to sit on some moss,

0:09:110:09:14

-do first check it for Viking poop.

-HE LAUGHS

0:09:140:09:17

Safety first. OK, Saklane, it's your turn to choose a topic.

0:09:170:09:21

-Let's see. Deaths.

-Deaths.

0:09:210:09:24

Let's see if you know this one. My question is:

0:09:240:09:28

Was it A, stones, B, dinner plates or C, cow bones?

0:09:380:09:43

There they are, all in total agreement.

0:09:440:09:46

Are they all wrong or all right?

0:09:460:09:49

Let me put you out of your misery. The answer is...

0:09:490:09:52

I've had cow bones thrown at me, too,

0:09:540:09:57

when I was spotted in my local butcher's.

0:09:570:10:00

You were lucky to get away with just cow bones, to be honest.

0:10:000:10:03

-George, it's your turn to pick a topic.

-Explorers, please.

0:10:030:10:06

-Explorers!

-Answer me this, if you can.

0:10:060:10:10

Was it A, Iceland, B, Australia or C, America?

0:10:200:10:25

Let's see your answers now, please.

0:10:250:10:28

OK, Hope and Saklane going for A, George out on his own on C

0:10:280:10:32

and looking very, very alarmed by that! Who's right?

0:10:320:10:36

The fact is, it's...

0:10:360:10:38

Well, there you go, George.

0:10:410:10:43

That's right, a Viking was the first European to land in America,

0:10:430:10:46

-over 1,000 years ago.

-Did you learn about that in school, Dave?

0:10:460:10:50

Or were you actually on the ship?

0:10:500:10:52

Oh, dear. Right, one question left in this round.

0:10:520:10:56

George, if you were to get it right, you would win another Year Sphere.

0:10:560:11:00

Your final question is on Word Plays, and here it is.

0:11:000:11:03

We Vikings loved to use "kennings", or word play,

0:11:030:11:08

but what did we mean when we spoke of

0:11:080:11:10

"the sweat of the sword"? Did we mean:

0:11:100:11:12

Well, a really tricky one to finish with. What do you think?

0:11:170:11:21

Is that A, B or C? Let's see your answers now, please.

0:11:210:11:25

OK, the boys going for B, Hope on her own with C. What's the answer?

0:11:260:11:31

We also called blood "the sea of the wound".

0:11:330:11:37

Well, er, we needed quite a lot of words for blood.

0:11:370:11:39

We spilled a lot of it.

0:11:390:11:40

A lot.

0:11:400:11:42

RATTUS LAUGHS It's true, though, isn't it, Rattus?

0:11:420:11:44

-It is very true. Those naughty Vikings!

-They were very naughty!

0:11:440:11:48

So, at the end of that round, George,

0:11:480:11:50

you've got a maximum score for the second time!

0:11:500:11:52

That means you've won the Year Sphere. Help yourself.

0:11:520:11:55

So, George, you have won the quiz, and because of that,

0:11:570:11:59

you're through to play the Viking game.

0:11:590:12:01

But will it be just you, or will the others get to play, too?

0:12:010:12:04

Let's find out.

0:12:040:12:05

Ooh, it's a single-player brainy game!

0:12:090:12:12

So, George, get your thinking cap on and get back down that Time Sewer.

0:12:120:12:16

Whoo-ooh!

0:12:180:12:19

Whoo-ooh! Funny way to say goodbye.

0:12:190:12:22

Vikings didn't just raid Britain. Many of them stayed.

0:12:230:12:27

Must have liked our lovely weather.

0:12:270:12:29

And some Viking words have since become part of the English language.

0:12:290:12:32

It's time to play...

0:12:320:12:34

Seven words, but two don't come from the Vikings.

0:12:350:12:39

Your challenge - to work out which five do.

0:12:390:12:41

Choose five words and move them to the Viking board,

0:12:410:12:44

then touch the Viking axe - not the sharp bit, mind -

0:12:440:12:46

to find out how many you've got right.

0:12:460:12:49

Keep trying new combinations of names until you've got all five.

0:12:490:12:52

But you've got to be quick - you're against the clock.

0:12:520:12:54

And your time starts now! HOOTER BLARES

0:12:540:12:57

He's looking for five Viking words.

0:12:580:13:02

WELCOME is the first one he's gone for.

0:13:020:13:04

Is he going to do this? Why not have a guess on the Gory Games app?

0:13:040:13:08

RANSACK - well, that sounds right, doesn't it, Rattus?

0:13:090:13:11

RATTUS CHUCKLES Here he goes.

0:13:110:13:13

What's his third choice going to be?

0:13:130:13:15

NAUSEA. Interesting. Interesting choice.

0:13:150:13:18

SCREAM - that sounds as if it might be right to me, as well.

0:13:200:13:23

RATTUS SCREAMS

0:13:230:13:24

You're not going to act them all out, are you?

0:13:240:13:26

Oh, IDIOT - maybe you are!

0:13:260:13:27

-And he touches the axe.

-You have three right.

0:13:270:13:29

He's got three right! Two of those are wrong. And off comes NAUSEA.

0:13:290:13:34

SCARE looks better than NAUSEA to me.

0:13:340:13:36

SCARE looks a very Viking word, in my opinion.

0:13:360:13:39

He's not touched the axe! How's he going to know if that's correct?

0:13:390:13:42

Never mind, he's taken off IDIOT and he's put on HIT.

0:13:420:13:44

Well, let's see. Maybe he doesn't need another go.

0:13:440:13:47

You have all five right!

0:13:470:13:48

-No, he doesn't! He's got all five!

-He's there!

-He's got all five.

0:13:480:13:52

-Celebration!

-It's game over.

0:13:520:13:55

Well played, well played indeed.

0:13:550:13:56

Go and grab yourself a Year Sphere, why don't you?

0:13:560:13:59

So, you're quite right, IDIOT and NAUSEA aren't Viking words.

0:13:590:14:03

They actually come from Greek.

0:14:030:14:05

SCARE, HIT, RANSACK, SCREAM are words we get from the Vikings,

0:14:050:14:08

as, rather surprisingly, is WELCOME.

0:14:080:14:10

Obviously, SCREAM is a Viking word.

0:14:100:14:13

They needed a word for that thing people did when they saw them.

0:14:130:14:15

That is true. Over to the Gory Grid, then, to find out what's up next.

0:14:150:14:19

It's the Gorgeous Georgians.

0:14:190:14:22

Four questions, as always, and here are your four Georgian topics.

0:14:220:14:25

So, Saklane, it's your turn to pick first.

0:14:310:14:33

-What are you going to go for?

-Kings.

-Kings.

0:14:330:14:36

That is a question from Mr Rattus Rattus.

0:14:360:14:39

At the end of the Georgian era, which king reigned after George I,

0:14:390:14:44

George II, George III and George IV?

0:14:440:14:48

Was it:

0:14:480:14:49

So, what do you think?

0:14:570:14:59

Let's see those answers now, please.

0:14:590:15:01

There we go, everybody has gone for B.

0:15:010:15:04

No-one has gone for King Rattus I, thankfully.

0:15:040:15:08

-What's the answer, Rattus?

-The answer is...

0:15:080:15:11

A bit of a trick question, I admit,

0:15:140:15:16

but the last king of the Georgian era wasn't a George. Oh, no.

0:15:160:15:20

And just in case you were wondering,

0:15:200:15:21

Dave, King Rattus I is going to be the next king of Britain.

0:15:210:15:24

In your dreams.

0:15:240:15:26

-Right, George, your turn to pick a topic.

-Erm, Napoleonic Wars, please.

0:15:260:15:31

Napoleonic Wars.

0:15:310:15:33

When Britain was at war with France,

0:15:330:15:34

a French warship sank off the coast of Hartlepool,

0:15:340:15:37

and the only survivor was an animal dressed in French military uniform.

0:15:370:15:41

But what kind of animal was it?

0:15:410:15:43

Was it A, a cat...

0:15:470:15:49

RATTUS SPITS ..B, a horse, or C, a monkey?

0:15:490:15:52

OK, they've all completely agreed with each other again on C.

0:15:530:15:57

Let's find out if that's the answer.

0:15:570:15:59

The answer is C, a monkey.

0:15:590:16:02

The good people of Hartlepool, having never seen a Frenchman,

0:16:020:16:04

assumed the monkey was one and, after a brief trial,

0:16:040:16:07

had the monkey executed.

0:16:070:16:09

-Oh! It's horrible. It's horrible! But it's true.

-Yeah. Grisly. Grisly!

0:16:090:16:15

-So, Hope, it's your turn to pick a topic.

-Er, Pets, please.

0:16:150:16:19

Pets it is.

0:16:190:16:21

Oh, this is exciting! The question is:

0:16:210:16:25

What do you think? Is it A, B or C? Let's see those answers now, please.

0:16:390:16:43

Up they come. The boys agreeing on A, Hope out on her own with B.

0:16:450:16:51

-Let's find out.

-I can tell you, the answer is...

0:16:510:16:55

Well! Who'd have thought that, eh?

0:16:580:17:00

Well, Hope would, because she got it right.

0:17:000:17:01

RATTUS LAUGHS

0:17:010:17:03

-It's true.

-It is true.

-It's true.

-Bad luck, though, George.

0:17:030:17:06

That means you can't get your maximum.

0:17:060:17:08

But you are still in this round with one question left,

0:17:080:17:10

and that question is on Puffers.

0:17:100:17:13

What was Captain Richard's Puffer?

0:17:130:17:15

A, a steam train, B, a treatment for asthma,

0:17:150:17:18

or C, a Georgian factory chimney.

0:17:180:17:21

So, what was Captain Richard's puffer?

0:17:210:17:25

Was it A, a steam train, B, a treatment for asthma

0:17:250:17:29

or C, a Georgian factory chimney?

0:17:290:17:31

That is C for George and Hope, B for Saklane. Let's find out who's right.

0:17:330:17:38

The answer is A.

0:17:380:17:40

It was a steam train built by Richard Trevithick in 1804.

0:17:400:17:44

It was the first ever to run on rails.

0:17:440:17:46

I wonder if it was due in 1704.

0:17:460:17:48

You know, the first train arrived in 1804, so it was a bit late!

0:17:480:17:53

-GEORGIAN MAN:

-Oh...

0:17:530:17:55

-I don't get it.

-Oh, suit yourself. Georgians!

0:17:550:17:59

Yep, I know what you mean.

0:17:590:18:01

Excellent. Well, at the end of that round, we see that Hope,

0:18:010:18:04

with three points, is the winner of the Year Sphere.

0:18:040:18:07

Help yourself, Hope.

0:18:070:18:08

So, Hope, you're through to play the Georgian game.

0:18:080:18:11

Will it be just you, or is everyone else coming along? Let's find out.

0:18:110:18:14

Well, it's a single-play silly game!

0:18:170:18:21

So, Hope, off down the Time Sewer with you.

0:18:210:18:24

Laters!

0:18:240:18:26

Laters... RATTUS CHUCKLES

0:18:260:18:28

Picture the scene.

0:18:290:18:31

It's the 21st of October 1805, and the British Royal Navy are about

0:18:310:18:35

to face the might of the combined French and Spanish fleets.

0:18:350:18:38

It's time to play:

0:18:380:18:40

You are a British Navy gunner.

0:18:410:18:44

Your mission - to load, aim and fire your cannon at the enemy ships.

0:18:440:18:47

You score a point for every enemy ship you shoot

0:18:470:18:50

and lose a point for every British ship you hit.

0:18:500:18:52

Score six points in the time limit to win your Year Sphere.

0:18:520:18:56

And battle begins now!

0:18:560:18:58

HOOTER BLARES So, here comes Hope to play

0:18:580:19:00

the Battle of Trafalgar.

0:19:000:19:02

And straight away I'm noticing that that ship is moving about.

0:19:020:19:06

-It's a rough day at sea today, Rattus.

-It certainly is.

0:19:060:19:09

Oh, that was close! That pinged up off the sea.

0:19:110:19:14

I don't know how she did that. A bit like skimming stones, I suppose.

0:19:140:19:16

But it didn't trouble the ship.

0:19:160:19:18

Oh, and she's done it again. Again, incredibly close,

0:19:200:19:23

but again a little skimmer. She's wrestling with that cannon!

0:19:230:19:27

She's already got two balls away here.

0:19:270:19:29

But she's not struck an enemy vessel as yet.

0:19:300:19:33

I have to say, Hope has been very unlucky here.

0:19:330:19:35

They're all in the right ball park but not striking the target.

0:19:350:19:39

Again, another good example of that.

0:19:390:19:41

She really is wrestling with that cannon nicely.

0:19:410:19:44

There's the first!

0:19:440:19:46

There's the first successful strike, a Spanish galleon off to

0:19:460:19:50

Davy Jones's locker down at the bottom of the old ocean.

0:19:500:19:53

There's the seagull back again. Afternoon, squire.

0:19:530:19:56

There's another one. She's doing very, very well,

0:19:560:19:59

but she is running out of time, and if anything, she's speeding up.

0:19:590:20:02

This is an incredible performance, actually. Another ship goes down!

0:20:020:20:05

She could just about still do this if she doesn't miss another ship.

0:20:050:20:09

Oh, and she's missed there. I think that one may cost her.

0:20:090:20:13

But she's struggling on manfully.

0:20:130:20:15

This is an extraordinary performance from Hope.

0:20:150:20:17

Oh, just two more needed now, but she's running out of time.

0:20:170:20:21

She's wrestling with her cannon while the ship is being tossed

0:20:210:20:24

and turned on what is now a mountainous sea.

0:20:240:20:26

She strikes the last one... HOOTER BLARES

0:20:260:20:28

..right on the hooter, and after an absolutely heroic effort,

0:20:280:20:32

I'm afraid it's not quite worked out for Hope.

0:20:320:20:36

Very bad luck. Well, what an amazing effort that was.

0:20:360:20:40

And you just missed it by one. But it was a very, very good effort.

0:20:400:20:44

Very bad luck.

0:20:440:20:45

After Admiral Lord Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar,

0:20:450:20:48

a magnificent memorial was erected in his honour,

0:20:480:20:51

and he can now be seen on top of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square.

0:20:510:20:55

In life, Nelson was fired upon by enemy snipers. In death...

0:20:550:21:00

Nelson is fired upon by enemy pigeons.

0:21:000:21:02

RATTUS LAUGHS Time for the final round.

0:21:020:21:05

Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.

0:21:050:21:08

It's the Measly Middle Ages.

0:21:080:21:11

No quirky quiz in our final round.

0:21:110:21:13

It's straight to our big all-play Middle Ages endgame,

0:21:130:21:17

and it is a very messy one!

0:21:170:21:20

-Everybody, get back down that Time Sewer one last time.

-See ya!

0:21:200:21:25

Green, rolling fields, the smell of freshly cut grass,

0:21:270:21:31

lambs prancing in the springtime.

0:21:310:21:33

Not my relatives - actual lambs.

0:21:330:21:35

That's what I try to imagine while we're playing our next game,

0:21:350:21:38

because it's absolutely disgusting. Yes, we're going...

0:21:380:21:41

"Gong," I'm afraid, was a Middle Ages word for poo,

0:21:430:21:46

and your job is to collect the "gong" from the cesspit,

0:21:460:21:49

carry it along your lane and slop it into your measuring cylinder.

0:21:490:21:52

Whoever collects the most collects the Year Sphere.

0:21:520:21:55

But beware, some Middle Ages types would poo directly

0:21:550:21:59

onto the street below, so mind your heads.

0:21:590:22:02

Ready, steady, get sloppin'!

0:22:020:22:05

HOOTER BLARES

0:22:050:22:07

So, here we go, then, with the Gong Farming, and believe you me,

0:22:070:22:10

it may look dry out there at the moment, but by the end

0:22:100:22:13

of this game the place is going to be crawling with gong.

0:22:130:22:17

Here they go, then, with their first payload being taken out.

0:22:170:22:20

Look at that! George was down there like a flash,

0:22:200:22:23

but not a huge amount of gong delivered.

0:22:230:22:25

-But THAT is a lot of gong.

-Oh, Hope has a full bucket there.

0:22:250:22:28

Brimming. Brimming, to the brimful, with poop.

0:22:280:22:32

Yeah, that was an awful lot of poo that Hope managed to get down that

0:22:320:22:35

lane for the first effort, and she's filled up again magnificently there.

0:22:350:22:39

George is the quickest over the ground, there's no doubt about that,

0:22:390:22:42

and Saklane is doing an admirable job over there in the yellow lane.

0:22:420:22:46

But Hope is doing remarkably well!

0:22:460:22:48

That's her second full bucket there, Dave.

0:22:490:22:52

Saklane and George are only getting pitiful

0:22:520:22:54

-amounts of gong at this point.

-Yeah, but they are making multiple trips.

0:22:540:22:59

It's a clash of styles. Oh, and that's bad news for Saklane.

0:22:590:23:02

Oh, that is very bad news, because that lane will now be slippery.

0:23:020:23:06

Watch this, he's going to struggle here.

0:23:080:23:11

Yeah, there he goes. No such problems for Hope.

0:23:110:23:14

Another full bucket delivered there.

0:23:140:23:16

Problems for George, though.

0:23:160:23:19

This is the trouble with gong - it gets absolutely everywhere,

0:23:190:23:22

and once it's on your lane,

0:23:220:23:24

it really is a mighty problem that you've got to overcome.

0:23:240:23:28

RATTUS LAUGHS Everyone falling everywhere!

0:23:280:23:30

I think, actually, George has become separated from his bucket there.

0:23:300:23:34

Meanwhile, Hope is just quietly going about her business.

0:23:340:23:38

She's not spilt a drop, although now the gong has fallen

0:23:380:23:42

and so now everyone is in trouble.

0:23:420:23:44

And I wouldn't be surprised if no-one can stand up from here on in.

0:23:440:23:48

-BELL TOLLS

-30 seconds remaining.

0:23:480:23:49

Look, there we go, that's the kind of thing.

0:23:490:23:51

Yeah, she's down straight away. But she already may have done enough.

0:23:510:23:54

That's a deluge of dung.

0:23:540:23:56

Now, how's George going to get up here with a bucket full of gong

0:23:560:23:59

and a slippery runway? I don't think he's got much hope, to be honest.

0:23:590:24:02

Saklane looks as if he's all but given up, and I don't blame him.

0:24:020:24:05

It really is treacherous out there, as Hope is demonstrating.

0:24:050:24:09

And there we go, George is going for the commando crawl.

0:24:090:24:13

He's commando-crawling through... HOOTER BLARES

0:24:130:24:15

..at least two inches of gong.

0:24:150:24:17

-Time's up.

-There's the hooter, it's all over.

0:24:170:24:19

Hope is victorious, because she has collected a lot of poo

0:24:190:24:22

while the boys have just been rolling around in it.

0:24:220:24:25

There's poo everywhere, Dave. It's like a strange and beautiful dream.

0:24:250:24:30

Ohhh...

0:24:300:24:32

Thankfully, they've cleaned themselves up a bit.

0:24:320:24:34

Go and stand behind your podiums.

0:24:340:24:36

That looked incredibly, incredibly messy.

0:24:360:24:39

Hope, that was a clever technique. You walked slowly, deliberately,

0:24:390:24:43

making sure you didn't spill anything.

0:24:430:24:45

I knew from the start that if I did it slowly but got more gunge,

0:24:450:24:48

-I might have a better chance.

-It was very clever.

0:24:480:24:50

Whereas the boys were haring up and down, spilling stuff,

0:24:500:24:53

falling all over the place. It was very interesting.

0:24:530:24:55

Hope, you were our winner, so help yourself to another Year Sphere.

0:24:550:24:59

Um...

0:25:020:25:03

-No.

-Ooh, a last-minute change of heart. Could that be crucial?

0:25:030:25:07

We'll find out shortly.

0:25:070:25:08

Apparently, the gases from the gong could sometimes cause gong

0:25:080:25:11

farmers to fall unconscious and drown in poo.

0:25:110:25:14

-RATTUS GASPS

-That's the way I want to go!

0:25:140:25:16

I thought you wanted to go while eating a mouldy pickled onion.

0:25:160:25:19

I do. That's what I'm doing when I fall in the poo.

0:25:190:25:22

Brilliant.

0:25:220:25:23

Time to count up those Year Spheres.

0:25:230:25:25

And remember, AD years are added to your total

0:25:250:25:29

and BC years are subtracted from it, so, Saklane,

0:25:290:25:32

that means you are still very much in with a chance of winning this.

0:25:320:25:36

Let's count up the Year Spheres.

0:25:360:25:37

George, will you open your first Year Sphere for me, please?

0:25:370:25:40

30 BC. It's bad, but it's not disastrous.

0:25:420:25:45

It's also the year that Queen Cleopatra died.

0:25:450:25:49

1854 AD, the beginning of the Crimean War.

0:25:490:25:53

You're back in the game. Let's have a look at that third one.

0:25:530:25:58

1453 AD, the end of the Hundred Years' War,

0:25:580:26:00

which means you've ended up with a very positive score indeed, George.

0:26:000:26:05

That total is 3,277, a good score,

0:26:050:26:09

which means that,

0:26:090:26:10

Saklane, I'm afraid, with no Year Spheres, you can no longer win.

0:26:100:26:14

Now, Hope, you still can. Let's have a look at your first sphere.

0:26:140:26:18

79 AD. Pompeii destroyed by Mount Vesuvius.

0:26:200:26:25

Oh, dear me! 10,500 BC!

0:26:270:26:32

The end of the last ice age.

0:26:320:26:34

But that's cold comfort, I'm afraid, for you, isn't it, Hope?

0:26:340:26:38

Let's have a look at your final sphere anyway.

0:26:380:26:40

Oh, dear me, it's 110,000 BC!

0:26:400:26:44

Neanderthals first came to Britain round about then.

0:26:440:26:47

You've ended up with a score of -120,421,

0:26:470:26:52

which means that today's winner, with 3,277 points,

0:26:520:26:57

is George, who'll be taking home our star prize.

0:26:570:27:00

But don't get too excited -

0:27:000:27:02

it was plucked out of the Time Sewer by my little colleague here.

0:27:020:27:05

I'll have you know, Mr Lamb,

0:27:050:27:07

today the award for our lucky winner is food fit for a king.

0:27:070:27:11

In fact, it's exactly what Charles II himself liked to

0:27:110:27:14

have on his eggs in the morning.

0:27:140:27:16

Oh, right! So, what, freshly caught smoked salmon, was it?

0:27:160:27:19

Maybe a shaved truffle? Caviar?

0:27:190:27:21

Even better!

0:27:210:27:22

Whale phlegm!
