0:00:08 > 0:00:10# If you're easily scared and don't laugh at poo

0:00:18 > 0:00:21# With Horrible Histories Gory Games
0:00:21 > 0:00:23# Horrible Histories Gory
0:00:23 > 0:00:25# Games! #
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to Gory Games with me,
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Dave Lamb and my assistant, Rattus Rattus.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Rattus, have you been eating my jelly beans?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37- What gives you that idea? - Oh, I don't know.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Maybe the fact that you've still got your head stuck in the jar.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Oh, this? Oh, no, no, no.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm just training to be an astronaut.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Oh, that's good. Because I will happily boot you into space
0:00:48 > 0:00:50if you eat any more of my sweeties.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Oh!- Right.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01On this show, you get to test your knowledge of horrible histories
0:01:01 > 0:01:04with quirky quiz questions and gloriously gory games,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08so let's crack on and meet our horrible historians.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Hi, I'm Jasmine.- Hello, Jasmine.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Hi, I'm Greg.- Hello there, Greg.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Hi, I'm Monica. - And hello there, Monica.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18And you can play along at home too, using the Gory Games App
0:01:18 > 0:01:22and if you haven't got it yet, check out the CBBC website.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Right. Jasmine, Greg, Monica, you're here to win Year Spheres.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Each Year Sphere contains an historical date
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and at the end of the show, your Year Spheres will be added up
0:01:32 > 0:01:37with AD dates being added to your total and BC dates
0:01:37 > 0:01:39being subtracted from it.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43So, if these were your Year Spheres, your total would be, Rattus?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Er, ah, 312?- No. Wrong answer.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Or to look at it another way,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51the right answer to a different question.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Your total would be 735.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score
0:01:56 > 0:02:00wins a historical prize picked out by my own fair paws -
0:02:00 > 0:02:01one that money can't buy.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05And, sadly, more often than not, one that money wouldn't want to buy.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Oi!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Right, time to get stuck in,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and to find out what this round's about, it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Arr! The Putrid Pirates, it be.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21And your four pirate topics are, messages, punishments,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Blackbeard and Pirate Talk.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Jasmine, you get to pick first, this round.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Er, punishments, please.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34In 1695, Dutch pirate, Dirk Chivers captured Captain Sawbridge
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and held him for ransom.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Sawbridge moaned so much, that pirate Dirk did what to him -
0:02:41 > 0:02:43A) threw him overboard,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45B) sewed up his mouth,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47or C) cut off his tongue?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Honestly. History, you couldn't make it up.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Let's see your answers now.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Everyone has gone for C.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Well, let's find out.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01B. He sewed up his mouth.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Yeah, that ought to shut him up.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It would shut him up but, sadly, you were all wrong.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08You were all being a bit too gruesome, to be honest.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10It's an awful thing to happen, isn't it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I can think of someone else round here who could do
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- with having their mouth sewn up. - Who's that, Dave? Who, who?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Who can it be?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Please, tell me, Dave, tell me now if you could, please, thank you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Take a wild guess, Rattus.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25So, Greg, your turn to pick a topic. No points scored yet.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I'll take Pirate Talk, please.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Pirate Talk. That is a question from Rattus Rattus.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34What were pirates' slops -
0:03:34 > 0:03:37were they A) horrible left-over food,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39B) their trousers,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42or C) the contents of the ship's toilet?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Mmm, that is a tricky one.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46What do you think? A, B or C?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Show me your answers now, please.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53So Jasmine and Greg in agreement. Monica going out on her own.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Rattus, what is the answer?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58The answer is B, slops.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Slops were pirate trousers.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Sailors were the first people to wear trousers.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Just because I'm asking the question,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07doesn't mean it's always about poo.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09No, not always. So, Monica, well done.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11You've scored the first point of the game.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13We're on our way and it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Messages, please.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20If an angry pirate was coming to get you, what might he send you -
0:04:20 > 0:04:25was it a piece of paper with A) a red diamond,
0:04:25 > 0:04:26B) a black square,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30or C) a black spot?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Ooh, I know the answer, I know the answer.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Let me see your answers now, please.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42So, Jasmine and Greg agreeing again with C and Monica going for A.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Let's hear the answer.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47C. He'd send you the black spot.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Obviously, that was before e-mail.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Long before e-mail.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55So, that means that everyone is level-pegging with just one topic
0:04:55 > 0:04:56left in this round.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59That topic is Blackbeard.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03'Tis I, Blackbeard the Pirate. Here be my question.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Why did I shoot me mate, Israel Hands -
0:05:07 > 0:05:09A) for burning me supper,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11B) for stealing a gold coin,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13or C) for fun?
0:05:13 > 0:05:18So, Blackbeard the Pirate. Why did he shoot his mate, Israel Hands?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23OK, so Greg and Jasmine agree again with C
0:05:23 > 0:05:26and Monica has gone with B.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28The answer is C.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I shot him and maimed him for life just for fun.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Excellent. Well, that means at the end of that round,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38we have a tie-breaker situation.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Jasmine and Greg, you are still in this.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Monica, you're history, just for now.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45First one to buzz in and give me the correct answer will win
0:05:45 > 0:05:48a Year Sphere, so, fingers on top of your buzzers for me, please.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Beginning with the letter C, what is the name of a pirate's curved sword.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Jasmine?- I forgot.- Oh, no, Jasmine.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It's not the answer I've got down here. Bad luck, Jasmine.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- That means it automatically passes over to you Greg.- Cutlass.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Cutlass is right. Greg, congratulations.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09You've won the first quiz.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Time to choose your Year Sphere from our trolly wally.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push, oh,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17this is heavier than it looks, Greg, I tell ya. There we go.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Come on, choose your Year Sphere. Any one you like.- I'd beware.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22One of those could contain a Stone Age date
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and that could be worth a few million minus points.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Push, push, push, push, push, push.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31So, winning the quiz means that Greg is automatically through to
0:06:31 > 0:06:34play the Pirate Game, but will he be alone or will everyone get to play?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's an all-play messy game,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43so that means it's off down the sewer with the lot of you.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Go on, Monica. Get in there.- Cor!
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It's not as smelly as it seems. In you go.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50All the way down. Lovely stuff.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Just try and hold your nose there, Jasmine.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58This game is all about chests and keys.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00And where are the keys? Well, that would be telling,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03but there are some clues to help you find them.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It's time for Pirate Treasure.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09The first person to retrieve the treasure map from inside
0:07:09 > 0:07:11their chest will win the Year Sphere but, be warned,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15it may not be as easy as it seems.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Ah-ha-ha-ar!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Thank you. Are you ready? In three, two, one.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23HORN BLASTS
0:07:23 > 0:07:28So, our gamers need to read the clues on the chests carefully.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Oh!- Yes, difficult. Difficult, aren't they?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32And then they've got to go and find the appropriate keys
0:07:32 > 0:07:35in the right place. So, there's Jasmine's.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Pretty clear, she's gotta go and find a pirate coat.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44That's the first thing Jasmine has to do. There we go.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Monica, she's found a key there in her swabbie's bucket.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, that's excellent. Excellent stuff.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Jasmine's supposed to be looking in a coat,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54so I don't know what she's doing there.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56But Monica's going to try and unlock that first trunk.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59She's got a key, Jasmine, but that's going to be the wrong key.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I could be pretty sure of that. Yep, well done.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05She's realised that mistake and gone back to the bucket.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08That is an error, but Monica is off.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Now, she's got the second clue. Here it is.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, I think that's a parrot Rattus, and there is one.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17You know your species, Dave.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Greg, meanwhile, is going about his business quietly.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22He's got the first key, there. Look at that key.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's absolutely covered in gunge.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Now, hang on a minute, Monica's got a key, but that's not the right one.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30That was a bucket, not a parrot
0:08:30 > 0:08:33and Jasmine's still not anywhere near a coat.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Now the second chest emerging for Greg.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37That's brilliant, isn't it, Rattus?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's excellent. An excellent result, there.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Greg's doing very well on today's programme.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44And as we can see, what Greg needs now,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46is the swabbie's bucket for his second key.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50He's looking for it, he's looking for it. There's a hand.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Excellent, excellent hand, there.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Did I notice a little tooth mark in that hand?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Has someone been having a nibble?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Might have done.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Rattus, I've told you not to meddle with
0:08:59 > 0:09:02the props before the games have taken place.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Monica still struggling to work out her clue.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Over here.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Jasmine seems to have got to a bit of a hiatus here.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10She seems to be stuck.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Well, she's either considering it
0:09:12 > 0:09:13or she's completely bemused.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yes, it's one of the two, isn't it?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18One of the two. Hello, this looks good.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Greg's gone into a bit
0:09:20 > 0:09:22of a storming lead here, Rattus.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24He has but Monica seems to be struggling
0:09:24 > 0:09:25with the lock, there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, neither girls have got the right key, that's why.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, there's the third chest, there's the third chest.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Yes, Greg is really close, now.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35All he's gotta do, is look very, very carefully at the instructions.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Oh, he's put slime on the instructions. Greg!
0:09:37 > 0:09:42But he's after the hanging bag and he's at the hanging bag.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43He's found the key, Rattus.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45He's found it. He's found the key.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47This is very, very exciting.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48He's opening the third chest, now.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Can he be caught from here?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I wouldn't have thought so. He's opened the third chest.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55He's opened the chest! He's opened the chest!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Oh! He's got the scroll.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Greg has won the Pirate Treasure challenge.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Greg, collect yourself your Pirate Treasure/Year Sphere.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Did you know that in pirate times, maps were considered to be treasure?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13They were very rare and often showed all the trade routes,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15meaning pirates could lie in wait for merchant ships to pass
0:10:15 > 0:10:17and then steal all their precious cargo.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Don't you mean precious caaa-arr-go?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23No, I don't. Moving swiftly on.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26On to round two and to find out what's up next,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's the Rotten Romans.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33And here are your Roman Topics.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Sports, hygiene, punishment and Britain.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39So Greg, it's your turn to pick a topic first.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Away you go.- Hygiene, please.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43True or false.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48We Romans gargled human wee as a type of mouthwash.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Romans gargled human wee as a type of mouthwash.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Is that true or is that false?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Let's see your answers now, please?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00And you've all gone for true. Let's find out.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01It's true.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Yes, gargle with wee for the fresh, fresh whiff of the toilet.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Do not try gargling wee at home.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Unless you're a Roman or a rat.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Unless those two things. So, that's a point to everyone.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21An excellent start. Monica, please pick a topic.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Sport, please.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24True or false.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28In Roman horse races, the losing horse was killed.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30What a question. Is that true or false?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34In Roman horse races, the losing horse was killed.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Show me your answers now, please.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Well, you've all agreed again.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42You've all gone for false. Let's see if you're right.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's false.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47It was the winning horse that was killed as a sacrifice to Mars,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49the God of War.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Always a good idea to keep in the God of War's good books.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55You're all doing very, very well. Two points each. Lovely.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58And it's your turn, Jasmine, to pick a topic.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Can I have Britain, please?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Britain.- Oh, it's a prop question.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07There are our props. Two apples. True or false.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11It was Romans who first brought apples to Britain.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Romans first brought apples to Britain.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Is that true or is that false?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21You've all gone for false.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Well, I can tell you that it's actually true.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27The Romans also introduced roses to Britain.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yeah, as well as cats. Stupid Romans.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I think cats are lovely.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35OK, it's the final question of the round.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38You're all level-pegging. You're all still in this.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40So, this question is absolutely crucial
0:12:40 > 0:12:43and it is a question on punishment.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Is this true or false?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Here's a clue. It's either true or false
0:12:58 > 0:13:00See your answers now, please.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Jasmine and Monica go for true, Greg goes for false.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08I can tell you that it's false.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11In fact, the punishment involved one in ten soldiers
0:13:11 > 0:13:13being stoned to death.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Greg has won another Year Sphere. Fantastic work, Greg.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21As the quiz winner, you're also through to play the Roman Game,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25but will it be just you, or will the others play too?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Oh, it's a single-player Brainy Game.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Greg, back down the time sewer with you.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Go on, get in there. It's not horrible.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Phwoar, it stinks.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45The Romans had a god for just about anything.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50For instance, they even had Deverra, Goddess of Brooms.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53I guess they'd run out of the good jobs.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55It's time to play.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56Odd Gods.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Seven Odd Gods, then, but two are totally made up.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Your challenge is to work out which five are the real Roman Gods.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Choose five names and then move them to the real boards.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Then touch Deverra's broom to find out how many you've got right.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Keep trying new combinations of names until you've got all five
0:14:12 > 0:14:14but you've got to be quick because you're against the clock.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And your time starts now.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17So, here goes Greg.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20What's going to be his choice for his first real god?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Robigus, God of Mildew.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Well, it sounds funny, doesn't it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29But, er, Romans did have gods for virtually everything.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Although they didn't have a god for the Gory Games App,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33which you can use to play along.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35What's your assessment of his strategy, Rattus?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38He's reading all the words from the beginning to the end which,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40generally, you find difficult, Dave.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Yeah, I do find that very, very difficult.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44He is doing very well, though.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Look at that, he's got all five up there.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Let's see how he's going to do?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Wow, he's got four right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I'm not going to give away which one he's got wrong,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56because the people at home are playing.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- And you don't know the answer. - Yes, there is that as well.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Anyway, Robigus is gone and up comes Infesta, Goddess of Head Lice.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11He's now got more wrong, so Infesta,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14God of Head Lice must come back off.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17That makes sense. Up goes Robigus.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Back up there for Robigus.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21He's taken Vanilla, God of Ice Cream off.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Now where does that leave us? What's he doing here?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27What's he doing here? Invidia, Goddess of Jealousy.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29This looks good. And I think he's done it.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Yes, yes. He's got it. Well done. - Well, what a brainy child.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Greg, choose yourself another Year Sphere. And you're quite right.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41The made-up ones were Infesta, Goddess of Head Lice
0:15:41 > 0:15:43and Vanilla, God of Ice Cream.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45RATTUS LAUGHS
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- It's not that funny. - No, it isn't, really.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Yes, Romans really believed in Gods of mildew and cupboards,
0:15:52 > 0:15:57door hinges and jealousy, as well as a Roman Goddess of Sewers.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Or as we rats know her, Goddess of Home.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04So, over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07It's the Vile Victorians. Good day.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Here are your four Vile Victorian topics.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Gadgets, cures, criminals and cars.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Monica, it's your turn to pick first.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Criminals, please.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23True or false.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Victorians believed they could tell a criminal just by their looks
0:16:26 > 0:16:27and general appearance.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Hmm.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Do you all have an answer?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And you've all gone for true. Well, let's find out.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38It's true.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42They believed sure signs of being a criminal were a low forehead,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45dirty face, heavy dark eyebrows...
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Hold on, I'm describing myself here.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It wasn't me, officer, I promise.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Yeah, we've only got your word for that. So, Jasmine.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Your turn to pick a topic. - Gadgets, please.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Gadgets. That...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Which prop... Sorry, I'm excited.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Rattus has just rather excitedly told you it's a prop question
0:17:03 > 0:17:05and there is your prop.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08True or false.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Here is a genuine Victorian contraption which was
0:17:12 > 0:17:16made for making crinkly toasted sandwiches.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21Show me your answers now, please. You've all gone for false.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23You're all absolutely right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Of course, it's not for making crinkly toasted sandwiches.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30It's actually a Victorian iron which was used for ironing
0:17:30 > 0:17:33ruffs which were special Victorian collars.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Was it hard ironing your collars in Victorian times, Dave?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You were alive back then, weren't you?
0:17:38 > 0:17:39LAUGHTER
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Is it me or can anyone else hear a really irritating noise?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Must be just me, then.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Greg, your turn to pick a topic.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Cures, please.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51True or false.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55A Victorian cure for a cold was to wrap a dead snake around your neck.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59So, a Victorian cure for a cold was to wrap a dead
0:17:59 > 0:18:01snake around your neck.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02True or false?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Jasmine and Greg going for true, Monica going for false.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08It's false.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12But a cure for a cold was to wrap a sweaty sock around your neck.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Fortunately, when your nose is blocked, you can't smell the sock.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Yes, I'm glad I can't smell your socks, I'll be honest.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22So, Monica, you did well there.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You've gone into the lead. There's one question left.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Cars.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Is this true or false?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Is that true or is that false?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Let's see your answers now, please.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44You've all gone for true.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's true.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You're absolutely right.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Early Victorian cars travelled so slowly that they could do that.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I mean, the speed limit was only 4mph.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Oh, the good old days when there were fewer squashed animals
0:18:56 > 0:18:57on the road.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Yeah, I can think of one animal I wouldn't mind seeing squashed.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Not really, Rattus.- I just... - I love you, really.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08That means that Monica, with a clean sweep, four out of four,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11has won the Year Sphere, so chose a Year Sphere for us, Monica.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Yeah, but don't forget,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16BC dates will be subtracted from your final score.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19You are through to play the Victorian game,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22but will it be an all-play or a single-play game?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28It's a single-play Brainy Game.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30So, Monica, you know the drill.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Down that time sewer with you. Go on, in you go.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36There she goes. Bye.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40It's horrible.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Brunel was a brilliant Victorian engineer,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45but a very average magician.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49While performing a magic trick in 1843, he accidently swallowed
0:19:49 > 0:19:52a coin which became lodged in his throat.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Brunel finally dislodged the coin with the aid of a clever device.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56It's time to play...
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Your challenge is to work out which cog goes where.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Once they're all in the right place, you can turn the wheel and flip
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Brunel upside down to dislodge the coin and win your Year Sphere.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11But, be quick, you're against the clock,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14which is starting to tick...now!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So here we go, then, with Barmy Brunel, a game of invention
0:20:17 > 0:20:20and imagination, isn't it, Rattus?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22It certainly is. I'm imagining it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23It's going to be the best game ever.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Yes, it is and what an extraordinary start.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28She's gone straight in there and I think that's the correct one.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31It interlocks nicely with the main driving cog.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33It does appear to do that, doesn't it, Dave?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Yes, now in goes number two. Is this going to be a good fit, I wonder?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Certainly room for it on the end there, isn't there, Rattus?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- There certainly is.- Yes, she only needs to find two more cogs
0:20:43 > 0:20:46and she's there. Oh, this is amazing, there's one right there.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Just needs one more. She's almost done it.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52She's going to do it. She's going to... This is the last cog going
0:20:52 > 0:20:54into place, now. This is incredible, she's done it already.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Extraordinary.- Oh, look out, here goes Brunel. He's tipping it over.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Brunel is completely over.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02The coin will be nestling on the roof of his mouth.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05She's got it, the coin is out of Brunel's mouth
0:21:05 > 0:21:08and it's all thanks to Monica.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Well done, Monica. Collect yourself a Year Sphere.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16Did you know Brunel's full name was Isambard Kingdom Brunel?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18What bizarre Christian names, eh?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Actually, I've been meaning to ask you this.- Yes.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Have you actually got a middle name? - Yes, I do actually.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Come on, what is it?- It's Rattus.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Rattus Rattus Rattus? That is lazy of your parents.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34When you've got 100 odd kids, good Christian names are in short supply.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37No, fair enough. I can see their predicament.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Well done, everybody, you're playing very well.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Jasmine, don't worry about not having any spheres
0:21:41 > 0:21:43because you can end up winning the game with no spheres.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45It's time for the final round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52No quirky quiz in our final round.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It's straight to our big all-play Middle Ages endgame
0:21:55 > 0:21:59and it is a very, very messy one.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Get back down that time sewer.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03That's it, Monica.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Just follow the others, Jasmine.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Well done.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Now, being a Gong Farmer may sound like a nice enough job
0:22:14 > 0:22:18but let me tell you, it wasn't, as you'll find out when we play...
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Gong was a Middle Ages word for poop
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and your job is to collect the gong from the cesspit,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30carry it along your lane and slop it into your measuring cylinder.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Whoever collects the most, collects the Year Sphere.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Oh, a word of warning.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Some people would poo directly through holes in the floor
0:22:38 > 0:22:40onto the street below. Nice.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43So, your lane is going to get very, very slippery indeed.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Ready, steady, get sloppy.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48So we're off.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52The gong farming begins and they each hare down their lanes to
0:22:52 > 0:22:54try and fill up their buckets with poop.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Rattus, what do you think of this? - Oh, I think it's the best game ever.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- I thought you might. - It's poopalicious.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I'd call it poopadoopalicious.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And look at that!
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Well, Jasmine's already got one
0:23:06 > 0:23:08bucket-load into her measuring cylinder
0:23:08 > 0:23:11and the thing is to make sure your bucket is brimming with poo.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13That's right, Dave and the other problem with
0:23:13 > 0:23:16the buckets, of course, is they are canvas-like buckets as opposed
0:23:16 > 0:23:19to solid buckets, so as they're running
0:23:19 > 0:23:21back along the lane there, they drop
0:23:21 > 0:23:23their bucket, they lose all their gong.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25No, and I can see losing your gong,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27you certainly don't want that to happen.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Monica seems to be doing very well, now, I think.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Monica's doing very well indeed.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34She is, she is, but Greg, whilst he's very, very quick,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37he never seems to take much poo with him.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Getting a little bit slippery already
0:23:39 > 0:23:42because those buckets, of course, have tiny holes in the bottom.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Tiny holes. They're secreting a certain amount
0:23:45 > 0:23:46of gong onto the runway there.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Yes, it's cruel of us, really, to have put holes in the buckets,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52but then it is very, very funny when they fall over
0:23:52 > 0:23:53and get covered in filth.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Oh, but taking a tumble there - poor Greg.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58He'll be back up from that, though.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01He's wearing proper safety equipment, you'll be glad to hear.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Of course, it's very important for me
0:24:03 > 0:24:06to point out, that none of this is real poop.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- What? What, it's not real poop? - Well, of course it's not real poop.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We can't have children rolling around in real poop.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Well, what's the point of... Oh!
0:24:14 > 0:24:16There's the gong. Oh, my word.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18And they did not like that.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22I mean, if they weren't messy before, they're certainly messy now.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25And poor old Greg is absolutely covered in the stuff.
0:24:25 > 0:24:2730 seconds remaining.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Yeah, absolutely. Well, there's Greg emptying...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- He doesn't seem to empty much in, Greg, does he?- He doesn't.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- He seems to be losing his poop on the way.- He does.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37He seems to be dropping his gong all over the place
0:24:37 > 0:24:40but he arrives at the measuring cylinder and doesn't seem to get
0:24:40 > 0:24:42any in, but, never mind, because here's Monica.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Struggling over that middle way break.- Oh, dear me.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47What fool decided to put that in, I don't know.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48I don't know.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Monica is doing extremely well,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- though, because she has moved a lot of poop.- And it's all over.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57It's all over and Greg has come a poor third, it has to be said.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Jasmine slips into second with a decent amount of poo.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Monica is the champion Gong Farmer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Oh, you've changed your T-shirts, I'm glad to see.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11You deserve a Year Sphere, Monica.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Of course, in many more remote places,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17cesspits still exist today, though they're much more sanitary now
0:25:17 > 0:25:19and they're not usually emptied by hand.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Oh, why do they have to go and spoil everything?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Right, time to count up those Year Spheres and remember,
0:25:24 > 0:25:29AD dates are added to the total and BC dates are subtracted
0:25:29 > 0:25:31and Jasmine, you're chuckling away there, but,
0:25:31 > 0:25:36and this is a big but, nought could easily be the winning total because
0:25:36 > 0:25:39there are BC totals which could put the others into minus territory.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42So, we come to you, Greg. You've won yourself four Year Spheres.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Now, let's see what you've got. Open up that first one for me, please.
