0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to Gory Games, with me, Dave Lamb.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30And me, Rattus Rattus. Can I come out now?

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Are you going to behave yourself?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Yes.- Promise?- Promise.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38All right, then.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40I'm sorry we had to do that.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43This is the show where you get to test your knowledge

0:00:43 > 0:00:46of Horrible Histories with quirky quiz questions and gory games.

0:00:46 > 0:00:50So, without further ado, let's meet today's horrible historians.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51I'm Kelly.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52I'm Jonah.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56- And I'm Zofia! - Hello! Welcome, one and all.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00You can play along too, if you've got the amazing Gory Games app.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04If you haven't got it yet, go to the CBBC website.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06It's free!

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Right, Kelly, Jonah and Zofia, you are playing to win Year Spheres.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Each Year Sphere contains a historical date,

0:01:12 > 0:01:16and at the end of the show your Year Sphere dates will be added up,

0:01:16 > 0:01:18with AD dates being added to your total

0:01:18 > 0:01:20and BC dates being subtracted from it.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24If these were your Year Spheres, your total would be, Rattus?

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Er, can I phone a friend?- All right. - KEY TONES BLEEP

0:01:27 > 0:01:29PHONE RINGS

0:01:35 > 0:01:39- 735.- Thanks.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41- The answer is...- I know.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Oh...right. At the end of the show,

0:01:44 > 0:01:46the person with the highest year score

0:01:46 > 0:01:49will win an amazing prize that I've selected myself.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51And that's as fantastic as it sounds.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55By which I mean, not at all. Right, we're off.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59And to find out what Round One's all about, over to the Gory Grid.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03It's the measly Middle Ages.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Four questions on the Middle Ages coming up.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10And your four topics are...

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Kelly, you get to pick first this round. Which is it going to be?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Pot Luck.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Pot Luck.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22True or false -

0:02:22 > 0:02:26the phrase "pot luck" comes from Middle Ages pottery?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Hmm. True or false?

0:02:28 > 0:02:33The phrase "pot luck" comes from Middle Ages pottery.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Let's see your answers now, please.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Jonah and Zofia going for true, Kelly going with false.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42What's the answer?

0:02:42 > 0:02:44It's false.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46It comes from Middle Ages cookery,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49where all the food was just chucked into a pot and left stewing.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Whatever you actually got from the pot was just pot luck.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Us rats have a similar expression. "Bin luck".

0:02:57 > 0:03:00- We get whatever's chucked in the bin. Ah!- Well done, Kelly.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03One point to you. Jonah, your turn to pick a topic.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Castles.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Castles. That is a question from Rattus Rattus.- Oh, thank you.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Is it true or false -

0:03:11 > 0:03:13when attacking a castle,

0:03:13 > 0:03:17knights were known to sneak in by climbing up the toilet chute?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Typical Rattus question, I'm afraid. Let's see your answers now, please.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27And again, two falses and a true. Kelly and Jonah with falses,

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Zofia goes for true. Rattus, put us out of our misery.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32The answer is...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34true! Ha-ha!

0:03:34 > 0:03:38I guess they've just got to hope nothing's coming down the other way.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42It would be awful! Awful! Zofia, your turn to choose a topic.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Um, can I have Writing, please?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46True or false?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48We monks used to write on vellum,

0:03:48 > 0:03:51which was made from treated and dried animal skin.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55True or false? Monks used to write on vellum,

0:03:55 > 0:03:59which was made from treated and dried animal skin.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Kelly and Zofia going for true, Jonah with false.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Let's hear the answer. - It's true.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Hmm, there you go, a point each for the girls there.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15- It was usually calf or goat skin. - Never rat skin, though?- No, no.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19OK. It's a draw at the moment, with one question left in this round.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Kelly and Zofia, all to play for.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Let's do the final question. It's on Kings. Let's hear what it is.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27True or false?

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Henry VI of England and James V of Scotland both became kings

0:04:31 > 0:04:33when they were just nine years old.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38Henry VI of England and James V of Scotland both became kings

0:04:38 > 0:04:41when they were just nine years old. Is that true or false?

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Interestingly, the girls have disagreed,

0:04:45 > 0:04:50so we are going to have a winner. Let's find out which of you it is.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54It's false. They both became king when they were just babies.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57So, at least when those kings were behaving like babies,

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- they actually were babies.- Yes.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Fantastic. That means, Zofia, you've won the quiz.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Time to chose your Year Sphere.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08Push, push, push, push, push, push, push...

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Zofia, choose your Year Sphere.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Beware! One of them could contain a Stone Age date

0:05:14 > 0:05:16worth a few million minus points.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18- This one.- That one?- Yes.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Ho, ho, ho! Good luck. Push, push, push, push...

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Zofia, you've won the quiz, which means you're automatically through

0:05:24 > 0:05:27to play the Measly Middle Ages Game,

0:05:27 > 0:05:30but will you be playing alone or will everyone be playing?

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Let's find out.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38It's a single-player silly game.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43Zofia, it's off down the Time Sewer with you. Careful, it stinks.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Aw, aw! That's a bad one.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52We're going over to France in the 1400s to the court of King Louis XI.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Louis has taken delivery of a new, original instrument.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57It's time to play the...

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Pig piano!

0:06:00 > 0:06:04The instrument consisted of pigs of different sizes and a keyboard.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Play a key and a little spike would prick a piggy and make it squeal.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10The larger the pig, the deeper the squeal.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Your challenge is to listen to and repeat a sequence of piggy squeals.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17The sequence will start with three squeals

0:06:17 > 0:06:19and get one squeal longer each time.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Correctly repeat nine squeals within the time limit to win a Year Sphere.

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Get one note wrong, however, and, er... Well, you'll find out.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29HONK!

0:06:29 > 0:06:30Let's get squealing.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33PIGS SQUEAL A TUNE

0:06:33 > 0:06:36There's the first sequence. Can she copy that?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38PIGS SQUEAL A TUNE

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Yes, she can.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44The idea here, Rattus, is for the pigs to make a sequence of noises,

0:06:44 > 0:06:47and then Zofia has to copy that sequence without making a mistake,

0:06:47 > 0:06:51otherwise something unspeakable will happen.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- What unspeakable thing, Dave? - I can't say, it's unspeakable.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Unspeakable, yes, yes. - Absolutely. She's doing very well.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Every time she gets a sequence correct,

0:07:01 > 0:07:03we add a squeak to that sequence.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04PIGS SQUEAL

0:07:04 > 0:07:08As you can see, she's moving through the sequences nicely here.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11I like Zofia's style - two-handed.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's a double-handed press she uses there.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17And look at that, doesn't it make her happy?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19- PIGS SQUEAL - Let's just reiterate,

0:07:19 > 0:07:21the way in which these squeaks are made

0:07:21 > 0:07:24is that a spike goes into the piggy's bottom.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, it's so wrong, Dave, it's right!

0:07:33 > 0:07:37She's doing well, going through the sequences incredibly well.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39She's not making any mistakes, Rattus.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yeah, she's a cheery pig-torturer, is Zofia.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- You have to say, it's hypnotic, this, isn't it?- Certainly is.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Although, if you think about it, it's utterly harrowing.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Do I need to point out that these aren't real pigs?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Are they not real pigs? - No, I'm not going to.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01The pig piano - part musical instrument, part Sunday lunch.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04THRRRP!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Oh, the big one's let one go!

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Well, that was extraordinary. Did you see that, Rattus?

0:08:09 > 0:08:10I did see a gust.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13It was a puff of something and came out of the big one.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15- I don't know what happened there. - THRRRP!

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Oh, there's another one!

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Oh, it's Liberty Hall! They're all going for it now!

0:08:19 > 0:08:23You have to say, Zofia remains absolutely focused.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26There's pigs guffing left and right, she's barely noticed.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28But this is the final sequence.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31She has to get these nine squeals correct to win a Year Sphere.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Here she goes.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34One...

0:08:34 > 0:08:36two, three...

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Aw! ..five, six,

0:08:39 > 0:08:45seven, eight, nine!

0:08:45 > 0:08:47- She's done it!- She has done it.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50That's the full nine squeally squeaks,

0:08:50 > 0:08:53and Zofia is Queen of pig torture!

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Welcome back, Zofia. Choose yourself a Year Sphere.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Fantastic. Well done, Zofia, that was absolutely brilliant.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Now it's over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08It's the Awful Egyptians.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Here are your four Egyptian topics...

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Jonah, it's your turn to pick a topic first.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21The Underworld, please.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25You have selected a question to be asked by Rattus Rattus.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Ancient Egyptians believed

0:09:27 > 0:09:30when you died you travelled to the underworld,

0:09:30 > 0:09:34where you faced numerous dangers, including a huge river of what?

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Was it...

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Thank you, Rattus.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Let's see your answers now.

0:09:47 > 0:09:53And everybody has gone for C, Rattus. Are they all right?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- They are indeed all right. - Well done.- It's C, fire!

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Though faced with a river of fire,

0:09:58 > 0:10:02I imagine there was the odd river of poo too!

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Rattus...

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Zofia, it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Um, can I have Mummies, please?

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Here's what I want to know.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24What do you think? Is it A, B or C?

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Let's see your answers now.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33Ooh. Kelly and Jonah in agreement with B, Zofia going for C.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36The answer is B - 40 days.

0:10:36 > 0:10:41They used salt to dry the bodies, you know.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- It sucks all the moisture out. - Kelly, your turn to choose a topic.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Can I have Pharaohs, please?

0:10:47 > 0:10:51Hatshepsut and Cleopatra were female pharaohs,

0:10:51 > 0:10:54but traditionally, all pharaohs were supposed to be men.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57So what did they do to make them seem more manly?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59A - play violent Egyptian sports,

0:10:59 > 0:11:00B - wear false beards,

0:11:00 > 0:11:04or C - talk in low, growly voices like mine?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07So was it A, play violent Egyptian sports,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09was it B, wear false beards,

0:11:09 > 0:11:13or was it C, talk in low, gravelly, growly voices?

0:11:14 > 0:11:18All three going for B. Are you all right?

0:11:18 > 0:11:22The answer is B - the female pharaohs had to wear false beards.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Actually, my nan's growing a real beard.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Don't tell her I told you that.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30We won't say a word.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33So, three points apiece for Kelly and Jonah.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Zofia one point behind, but there's one question left,

0:11:37 > 0:11:39so everyone still has everything to play for.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42That question is on Festivals and we're going to hear it now.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45In the early days of Egypt, once every four years

0:11:45 > 0:11:47at the Heb-Sed Festival,

0:11:47 > 0:11:50the pharaoh had to run three times around the palace.

0:11:50 > 0:11:55What happened if the pharaoh couldn't complete the course?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58A - he was killed, B - he was made into a peasant,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01or C - he was banished.

0:12:01 > 0:12:02Crikey. All a bit extreme.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05But is that A, B or C?

0:12:06 > 0:12:11Well, girls both going for C, Jonah going for A. Who is right?

0:12:11 > 0:12:15The answer is A - he was killed, he's clearly too unfit to rule.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Congratulations, Jonah. You've won the quiz round.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Collect a Year Sphere, please. - We should have made them Year Noses.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Then picking them would be funnier.

0:12:26 > 0:12:31- Picking them. Picking them! No, I'll shut up.- I think that's best.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Jonah, as the quiz winner,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37you're also through to play the Egyptian game,

0:12:37 > 0:12:38but will it be just you,

0:12:38 > 0:12:41or will the others play too? Let's find out.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's an all-play brainy game!

0:12:46 > 0:12:49So that means it is time for you all to get off down the Time Sewer.

0:12:49 > 0:12:55Go on! Go on, Zofia, get in there. Go on, Jonah. That's it, Kelly.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59In you go. Oh, a head-first there. And she's gone.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Now, Egyptian Pharaohs like to be buried in style,

0:13:02 > 0:13:05and what could be more stylish than a pyramid?

0:13:05 > 0:13:09- It's time to play...- Pyramid Puzzle!

0:13:09 > 0:13:12You're about to build your very own pyramid,

0:13:12 > 0:13:15much like the real ones, only, thankfully, a lot smaller.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Nine building blocks, your challenge -

0:13:17 > 0:13:19to work out which block goes where.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22We've even put the first block in place to help you along.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27- First to finish their pyramid wins the Year Sphere.- Ready, steady...

0:13:27 > 0:13:29- HONK! - Get building!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Zofia goes straight for the big piece, as does Kelly.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Sensible - get the biggest piece on the board straightaway.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Jonah's done it too.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38They've all cottoned onto that incredibly quickly.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40That's an excellent start.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43There's a lot of pieces, isn't there, Rattus?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Fundamentally, that's the game, Dave.- Absolutely.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are lots of pieces.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51If it was just one big piece it'd be over...

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Well, before they started.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55You could hardly call it a challenge.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57There'd be no challenge to be had.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Jonah - he is flying through this challenge.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01The base layer is complete

0:14:01 > 0:14:05and he's started on the first floor already!

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Oh! And Zofia's completed her base layer as well.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13Before they finish off, I should tell you that you can of course

0:14:13 > 0:14:15play along at home using the Gory Games app.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17There's Jonah, look at him.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Zofia's on the second level, too.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22There, in fact, there, the two of them are doing very nicely.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Zofia and Jonah on the first floor.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Kelly having a look at every piece

0:14:27 > 0:14:31before committing to that ground floor, and why wouldn't you?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Zofia is doing nicely, as is Jonah,

0:14:33 > 0:14:36and Kelly seems to be getting there herself.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39It's very, very tactical at this stage.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42It's all about trial and error, isn't it, really, Rattus?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Kelly's completed the ground floor. Very nice.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Jonah putting his piece...

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Kelly, she's coming with a bigger piece here.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Kelly could be coming with a bit of a late run here

0:14:53 > 0:14:55and that's tremendous because, after a great start,

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Jonah seems to be having one or two problems now.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01And there's Zofia. Actually, she's doing extremely well!

0:15:01 > 0:15:03This has crept up on us, Rattus.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Look at this! She's only got two pieces!

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Out of nowhere, only two pieces left to get!

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oh, one more piece to go!

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Just the top piece. Surely she can't go wrong from here!

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Dave, there is a point to this game, and it goes on the top there.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18There it is! And there's the trademark celebration.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19Arms in the air,

0:15:19 > 0:15:24and well may she celebrate, for she hath built a pyramid!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Well played, and well played, Zofia.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Help yourself to a Year Sphere.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Zofia, did you find that difficult? - Yes.- You did extremely well.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's very tricky, the pyramid game.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Ever tried building a pyramid? - No, that would be just insane.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it?- Yep.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Excellent. Right.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Time for us to go over to the Gory Grid to find out who's up next.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's the Gorgeous Georgians!

0:15:48 > 0:15:52And here are your four Georgian topics.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Zofia, it's your turn to pick first.

0:16:00 > 0:16:01Could I have Posh People, please?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03You certainly can.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04True or false?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07When the Earl of Carlisle built his posh stately home,

0:16:07 > 0:16:10he gave all the locals in the nearest village

0:16:10 > 0:16:11a present of a flamingo.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14True or false? When the Earl of Carlisle

0:16:14 > 0:16:17built his posh stately home, he gave all the locals

0:16:17 > 0:16:20in the nearest village a present of a flamingo.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Let's see your answers now, please.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27Everybody has gone for false. What's the real answer?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's false. In fact, he had the nearest village flattened.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Well, of course he did. It was quite ruining his view.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Quite right, too. Don't want your view ruined!

0:16:36 > 0:16:39So, Kelly. Your turn to pick a topic.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Teeth, please.- Teeth it is.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45True or false? If you needed a false tooth,

0:16:45 > 0:16:49your Georgian dentist might give you one taken from a dead soldier.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51True or false? If you needed a false tooth,

0:16:51 > 0:16:56your Georgian dentist might give you one taken from a dead soldier.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02Very good. All going for true. Let's see if you are right.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06It's true. Teeth were taken from dead soldiers at Waterloo.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09You know, I think this one's previous owner

0:17:09 > 0:17:12used to like garlic! Ugh.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14How absolutely revolting.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17So, everyone on two points. Jonah, pick your topic, please.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Cures, please.- Cures. That is a question from Rattus Rattus.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24It certainly is, Dave.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27True or false? A Georgian cure for a stye on your eyelid

0:17:27 > 0:17:29was to rub it with the tail of a black...

0:17:29 > 0:17:31HE SPITS ..cat.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Thank you, Rattus. So, what do you think? Is that true or false?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Let's see your answers now, please.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Jonah and Zofia going for false. Kelly for true.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Rattus, what is the answer?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46True! And if it's all the same to you,

0:17:46 > 0:17:49I'd rather keep the stye, and my life, for that matter.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Hmm. Absolutely.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Kelly, you've taken the lead with one question left in this round.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56If you get this right, there's nothing

0:17:56 > 0:17:59either of the other two can do to catch you,

0:17:59 > 0:18:02and the final question in this round is on Sailors,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04and it is a prop question.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Here is your prop.

0:18:06 > 0:18:12True or false? Georgian sailors ate food from square plates.

0:18:13 > 0:18:18True or false? Georgian sailors ate food from square plates.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Show me now.

0:18:20 > 0:18:25Zofia's going for true. Jonah and Kelly going for false.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27The answer is true!

0:18:27 > 0:18:31And that is where we get the expression "a square meal".

0:18:31 > 0:18:35- I did not know that! - Yeah, it is true.- True, yeah.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37As we can see, we have a tie.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Kelly and Zofia have three points each.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Jonah's not involved in the buzzer round,

0:18:42 > 0:18:43but fingers on buzzers,

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Kelly and Zofia, we're going for the tie-break question.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Beginning with the letter G, which king came next

0:18:50 > 0:18:53after George I, George II and George III?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55ATCHOO!

0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Kelly.- George IV.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01You're absolutely right, Kelly, you've won yourself a Year Sphere.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Well done. Everyone has Year Spheres now. I like it when that happens.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08OK, Kelly. You're through to play the Georgian game

0:19:08 > 0:19:12but will it be just you, or everyone else, too? Let's find out now.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19It's an all-play silly game!

0:19:19 > 0:19:22So, off down that Time Sewer with the lot of you!

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Lead 'em off, Zofia.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Lovely. Well done, Jonah, in you go. Now, then,

0:19:26 > 0:19:29picture a Georgian and you picture someone in a wig

0:19:29 > 0:19:33with lots of make-up - and that's just the men!

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yes, all Georgians loved wigs, but there was one problem.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40They were home to hundreds of bugs. It's time to play...

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Flea Fling!

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Fleas and lice will fling themselves from a giant Georgian wig.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Catch as many in your hair net and wig as possible.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54The player who catches the most wins the Year Sphere. Are you ready?

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Are you steady? Let the fleas fling!

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Remember, our contestants have to catch those fleas

0:20:00 > 0:20:03in their nets or on their wigs.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Fleas and lice there. Some people call them parasites.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08I call them friends.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Yeah. Look at them!

0:20:09 > 0:20:12There's hundreds of them, firing out from all angles.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15I didn't think there'd be that many fleas in a Georgian wig

0:20:15 > 0:20:17but clearly there are.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Well, Georgians were notably filthy, Dave, it has to be said.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24Lice are impossible to get rid of - just like rats, eh?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26I hear you. Boy, do I hear you.

0:20:26 > 0:20:31Nits are actually the eggs of the louse, Dave.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Um, so they are technically one and the same species.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37I bet you wish some fleas had set up home on your mangy head.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Thanks.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I do apologise for calling him mangy,

0:20:41 > 0:20:44I didn't mean that, but look at the amount of the fleas

0:20:44 > 0:20:47that are being gathered! We're getting very near to the end.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51Those nets will get pretty heavy if it carries on like that, Rattus.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53It will give them arm strain.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Absolutely. None have attached themselves to the players' heads.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01Those wigs remain flealess, which is ironic.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Time's up. - And it's all over and we have a tie!

0:21:04 > 0:21:08Welcome back, Gory Gamers. Behind your podiums, please.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12I can tell you that in third place with 26 points

0:21:12 > 0:21:18was Jonah, but joint first with 36 points each were Zofia and Kelly.

0:21:18 > 0:21:23Zofia, if you'd like to go first. Choose yourself a Year Sphere.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27And now Kelly. Help yourself to a Year Sphere.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Did you know, only important people in Georgian times

0:21:30 > 0:21:34could afford a big wig. That's where the phrase "big wig" is from,

0:21:34 > 0:21:36- meaning an important person.- Dave...

0:21:36 > 0:21:39If a wig goes bald, do you need to get a wig for it?

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Answers on a postcard, please, and mail it to The Rat,

0:21:43 > 0:21:45No Fixed Abode, The Sewer.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Moving swiftly on. It's time for the final round.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55It's the Vicious Vikings.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56No quirky quiz in our final round.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00It's straight to our big all-play Viking endgame

0:22:00 > 0:22:05and it's a scary one! Moo-ah-ah! Sorry.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Everyone get down that Time Sewer.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Come on, in you go. You know the way by now.

0:22:10 > 0:22:11Well done, Jonah.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15Excellent work, Kelly. Lovely.

0:22:15 > 0:22:20It's 793 AD and all is quiet in the monastery on Lindisfarne Island.

0:22:20 > 0:22:25But not for long. It's time to play...

0:22:25 > 0:22:27You are defenceless monks.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Your only survival hope is that the Vikings won't find you

0:22:30 > 0:22:33so best not step on a squeaky floorboard.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Your challenge is to find the one squeak-free path.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39Reach the end of the path and there are two doors.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Behind one is freedom! Behind the other is...

0:22:42 > 0:22:44MANIACAL LAUGH

0:22:44 > 0:22:46..a Viking.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Find him and you have to start all over again.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52First person to escape wins the Year Sphere.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Ready, steady... - HOOTER

0:22:55 > 0:23:00The contestants have to try and creep up to the doors at the end

0:23:00 > 0:23:03by avoiding the squeaky floorboard.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04And the creakers sink.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Once they creak, they have to go back to the start

0:23:07 > 0:23:09and try to make their way across.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12There's only one true path across this puzzle.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15They have got to find it by trial and error.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18I think they've got to find it by using their feet, Dave.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19Yep. One and the same thing.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26It's incredibly tense, as they try to recall where they've stood before

0:23:26 > 0:23:30and where they may not step in the future.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Kelly making some real progress here.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36The same cannot be said for Jonah or Zofia.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39Kelly's getting a long way down her path.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43Look how far she's going with such sureness of foot.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Now look out. Oh!

0:23:45 > 0:23:48A floorboard squeak just at the wrong moment.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50And back to the very beginning for her.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52That must be very disappointing for the girl.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Yep. Jonah sets off again.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57This is the problem for Kelly.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01She was at the end but she couldn't remember the path.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03No squeak there for Zofia.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06No squeak there for Jonah.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08No squeak there for Zofia! No...

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Oh, dear, Jonah's off.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12But Zofia's done it.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13She's through, Dave.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15She's at the big crux of the challenge.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18The door on the right, and it's the door to freedom!

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Oh!

0:24:19 > 0:24:23She's free. The others are going to be hacked to death by Vikings.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27Zofia, help yourself to another Year Sphere.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Vikings got a taste for raiding monasteries

0:24:29 > 0:24:33as they were full of gold and silver and were defended by, er,

0:24:33 > 0:24:36well, monks, so they knew they'd win.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Would have been pretty embarrassing

0:24:38 > 0:24:40if the big, tough Vikings had lost to monks!

0:24:40 > 0:24:44Much like when you lost an arm wrestle to a rat, Dave.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45I don't know what you mean.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49Time to count up those Year Spheres, I think.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51And remember, AD years are added to your total

0:24:51 > 0:24:54and BC years subtracted.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Kelly, we'll start with you.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Please could you open your first Year Sphere?

0:24:58 > 0:24:59508 BC.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Oh!

0:25:01 > 0:25:06Democracy invented in Athens. Let's have a look at the second one.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10It's 1658 AD. The death of Oliver Cromwell.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13You have a total of 1,150.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Now, Jonah, if you can beat that, that will put you into the lead.

0:25:19 > 0:25:20What have you got?

0:25:20 > 0:25:231727 AD.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26George II became King.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28You are in the lead.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30So, if Zofia gets a large BC score

0:25:30 > 0:25:33in amongst her spheres,

0:25:33 > 0:25:34you are going to be our champion.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38Zofia, here we go. You've won five spheres. Let's see what you've got.

0:25:38 > 0:25:4055 BC.

0:25:40 > 0:25:45The year Julius Caesar invaded Britain.

0:25:45 > 0:25:4860 AD. Boudicca rebelled against the Romans.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50You're on plus five.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53899 AD.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56The death of Alfred the Great.

0:25:56 > 0:25:581939 AD,

0:25:58 > 0:26:01the start of the Second World War.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03It all comes down to this final sphere.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05What's it going to be?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Let's have a look.

0:26:07 > 0:26:118500 BC!

0:26:11 > 0:26:14The age of the oldest Stone Age house discovered in Britain.

0:26:14 > 0:26:15You've been torpedoed

0:26:15 > 0:26:20by a massive BC, which means that your final score is

0:26:20 > 0:26:24minus 5,657.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Which means Jonah is today's champion.- Yes! Whoo!

0:26:27 > 0:26:32And that means that you go home with our star prize,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35and our prizes aren't your usual game-show rubbish. Oh, no.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39They're unique bits of historical rubbish

0:26:39 > 0:26:42picked out of the Time Sewers by my colleague here.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44So what's the big prize, Rattus?

0:26:44 > 0:26:46To celebrate the amazing Roman sewage system,

0:26:46 > 0:26:49which pumped all the city of Rome's poo

0:26:49 > 0:26:51into the River Tiber,

0:26:51 > 0:26:54it's a poo-filled Roman fish from the River Tiber!

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Hooray!

0:26:56 > 0:26:57- Yay.- There it is.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Full of poo and from Rome!

0:26:59 > 0:27:03Of all the rivers in all the historical eras in all the world,

0:27:03 > 0:27:07why, oh why, did you pick a fish from one that's filled with poo?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Because, and this might just be me,

0:27:09 > 0:27:13I have always found fish to be a little bit bland.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Oh!- Congratulations, Jonah.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Well done. There you go. - Thank you.- Terribly sorry.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22At least you get to keep your Gory Games T-shirt. So it's not all bad.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25It just remains for me to say thanks to our champion, Jonah,

0:27:25 > 0:27:29and our fantastic runners-up, Kelly and Zofia,

0:27:29 > 0:27:31and no thanks whatsoever to Rattus.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Oh, I'm nothing if not constipated.
