0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Got you.- Don't joke about the Blue Peter cat, you clown,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37his studio's only next door.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41This is the show that separates out the cool cats
0:00:41 > 0:00:42from the scaredy rats.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Oh, yes, I see what you did there.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55- Hi, I'm Morgan.- Fantastic.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56There are the contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58By way of a little warm-up game today,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02I thought we'd go back to nature with a wholesome Georgian pastime.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03- Really?- Absolutely.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Just picture the scene.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10It's 1764, we're in a tranquil Georgian farmyard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And along come our lovely contestants
0:01:13 > 0:01:16ready to play the favourite game of Georgian aristocrat
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Lord Huntingdon.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hunt The Hen! Simply chase the chicken round the studio
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and the first to pull some feathers from his bottom wins.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Release the hen. Three, two, one...
0:01:29 > 0:01:31No, no, no, not on my watch.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35For heaven's sake, for once I would just like to start this show
0:01:35 > 0:01:38without anything disgusting or upsetting happening.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Thank you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh, brilliant.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'm going to need a change of shirt now, aren't I?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50And someone better find out where he got that chicken from.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53CACKLES I'm a naughty little rat.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56While Dave changes into a poo-free shirt,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59why don't you get the Gory Games app from the CBBC website
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and play along?
0:02:01 > 0:02:07Right, September, Sol, Morgan, you are playing to win Year Spheres.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Each Year Sphere contains a historical date and,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12at the end of the show, your Year Sphere dates will be added up
0:02:12 > 0:02:16with AD dates being added to your total and BC dates being subtracted
0:02:16 > 0:02:19from it, so if these were your Year Spheres,
0:02:19 > 0:02:24we'd add 1,215 then subtract 418 giving us a total of, Rattus?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Mm? Oh, I do know but I can't tell you.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Why not?- It's a secret. - No, it isn't.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- It must be otherwise you'd know already.- I do know already.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Then what is it?- It's 735.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37All right, you've passed the test. It's 735.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38OK, thank you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score
0:02:41 > 0:02:43will win a unique historical prize.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45As chosen by yours truly.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48It's the kind of prize you couldn't even sell on eBay.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Let's get cracking and to find out who this round's about,
0:02:51 > 0:02:52it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56It's the Awful Egyptians.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59So four questions on the Awful Egyptians coming up now.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Your four Egyptian topics are:
0:03:10 > 0:03:12So, September, you get to pick first in this round,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- what's it going to be?- Gods.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Egyptian gods, let's hear that question.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20The Egyptian god Sobek had the head of a crocodile
0:03:20 > 0:03:22but what was he the god of?
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Was it:
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Let's see those answers now, please.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37OK, so Morgan and Sol agreeing on A, September out on her own with C.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Let's find out what the answer is. - The answer is C,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43he was the Egyptian god of water, though
0:03:43 > 0:03:45if there's one thing you don't want to find in your water,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- it's a crocodile.- Or a sewer rat.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Oi, I heard that!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- You were meant to. So, Sol, it's your turn to pick a topic.- Mummies.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Mummies.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00That is a prop question. This is a pot of mummies' dust.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Stuart king Charles II of England had a collection of mummies.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06He used to gather the dust and powder that fell off them
0:04:06 > 0:04:10but what did he do with it? Did he a) rub it into his skin,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12b) sprinkle it on his food,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15or c) throw it at people he didn't like?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17It's either A, B or C.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Let's see those answers now, please.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Everybody in total agreement on A and you're all right.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27He did used to rub it into his skin,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30he thought the greatness of the mummies would rub off on him.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34That is sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36sick and not in a good way. Huh.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Morgan, your turn to pick a topic. - Hieroglyphics, please.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Hieroglyphics, let's hear that question.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Ancient Egyptian scribes wrote things down in hieroglyphics
0:04:45 > 0:04:47but what does "hieroglyphics" mean?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58So is that A, B or C?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Let's see those answers now, please.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Everyone in total agreement. Let's see what the answer is.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07The answer is C - "hieroglyphics" means "sacred engraving".
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Is that sacred as in "Holy cow!
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- "What on earth is that supposed to mean?"- No, it isn't, Rattus.- Oh.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18OK, with the scores September, three, Sol, two and Morgan, two,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22we have one question left in this round so it's all still to play for.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24The final topic is pyramids. Here's the question.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Here's what I want to know.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So, how many pyramids are there in Egypt?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Is it A, 3? B, 15? Or C, more than 100?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Let's see those answers now, please.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46OK, the girls agreeing on B.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Sol out on his own with C.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Let's find out what the answer is.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51The answer is C.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54There are more than 100 pyramids in Egypt.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Yeah, there are more pyramids on Egyptian soil
0:05:57 > 0:06:00than I've got flea bites on my bottom. Ha ha ha! But only just.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I was going to say, it must be close. And talking of close,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07it's very close here. We finish that round with September and Sol tied.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Fingers on your buzzers - we're going to the tiebreak question.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Beginning with the letter H,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Egyptians believed that in the underworld,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16to tell whether you'd led a good life
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- which of your organs was weighed? Sol.- Heart.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Heart is absolutely right, so, Sol, you have won the quiz.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25It's time to choose your Year Sphere from our trolley wally.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29push, push, push.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Hah, come on, Sol, come and choose your Year Sphere,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34whichever one you want, preferably a shiny one.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Is that the one you want? - Yes.- Good.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39So winning the quiz means that Sol is automatically
0:06:39 > 0:06:42through to play the Egyptian game but will he be alone
0:06:42 > 0:06:45or will the others get to play, too? Let's find out.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's an All Play Brainy Game
0:06:50 > 0:06:53which means all of you must get down that time sewer.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Lead off, Morgan.- Whoo!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Excellent, off you go, Sol.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04There you go, September.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07When they died,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Pharaohs didn't really go for the small engraved gravestone thing.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14They were more into the two million massive stone block thing.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15It's time to play...
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Your challenge, to build a pyramid.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Just work out which massive block goes where.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25First to finish wins the Year Sphere. So, ready,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28steady, get building! And here we go, then, with Pyramid Puzzle
0:07:28 > 0:07:30and the idea here, Rattus,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33is to get the big blocks on that base, isn't it?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36That's right, the clue's in the title, Dave, they have to build...
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- a pyramid.- That's a nice big piece there from Sol.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43September's looking a little small for me, though.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Of course, things can go very badly wrong on this game.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Particular if you thank you can squeeze a piece into a gap
0:07:49 > 0:07:52that just isn't there. This is interesting.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55September's realised her mistake and she's gone with the bigger bits.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Morgan looks as if she's close to finishing her ground floor.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01That looks good. Now that looks very good,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04but wait a minute, if you look at the back closely,
0:08:04 > 0:08:05I'm not sure that's right.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I think that Morgan may think she's got the base finished there,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12but I'm not sure that she has. What do you think?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It's poking out over the edge and if your bottom layer
0:08:14 > 0:08:17isn't parallel with the bottom edges of the plinth,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20then that's it, you're onto a hiding to nothing.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23You are and you've got to take into account the slanting
0:08:23 > 0:08:25sides of the pyramid. I'm not sure she's done that,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28so Morgan could be barking up the wrong tree.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31September, wrestling with another huge piece.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Now, that is what you call a base.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37She has completed the ground floor of her pyramid.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Sol is in all sorts of trouble here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41And so is Morgan.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Those jaggedy bits sticking out, if you look closely.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49That, however, looks very encouraging and September, for me,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52now is well on her way to winning this challenge, Rattus.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Sol still is struggling. There's a great big rift
0:08:55 > 0:08:57right in the middle of his...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59That's it, September's got a second layer!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01You've called it correctly, my furry friend.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04She's got that second layer. On she goes now for the third layer
0:09:04 > 0:09:07and that's going to take not very long at all.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Shortly to be followed by the top piece, and there it is!
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- There it is.- It's a perfect pyramid from September.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18She does a little leap, then a half spin. It's a victory celebration.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20And Morgan's livid. Not really.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Welcome back, well played.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25September, help yourself to a Year Sphere, why don't you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Morgan, how did you find it?- I found it great fun.- Did you? Excellent.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31But, September,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- what a magnificent pyramid you constructed, did you enjoy it?- Yeah,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37it was fun but I put all the small ones on,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I had to wipe it completely off and put the massive one on so...
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well done, because it meant that you won.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45The Great Pyramid of Giza was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48It was finished around 2560 BC,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52and weighs about six and a half million tonnes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55So, are you one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Dave?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Where are you going with this?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, you're very old and heavy.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Just try to ignore him if you can. That's what I do.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Moving on. On to round two and to find out what's up next
0:10:05 > 0:10:06it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It's the Frightful First World War.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Four questions again,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15here are your all-important World War One topics:
0:10:19 > 0:10:21So, Sol, it's your turn to pick first, what do you fancy?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- Gas masks. - Gas masks, let's hear that question.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29True or false? No animals were given gas masks.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Short and sweet. True or false, no animals were given gas masks?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Let's see those answers now, please. Well, look at that,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42all three in complete agreement, everyone thinks it's false.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Are they all right or are they all wrong?
0:10:44 > 0:10:48It's false, horses were key to the war effort
0:10:48 > 0:10:50so special gas masks were made for them.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Morgan, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Um, dogs please.- Dogs you say, let's hear that question.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59True or false?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03German Shepherds were renamed Alsatians as a result of the war.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07So true or false - German shepherds were renamed Alsatians
0:11:07 > 0:11:09as a result of the war?
0:11:09 > 0:11:14All in total agreement once again, all thinking it's true this time.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Are they right or are they wrong?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19It's true. We were at war with Germany
0:11:19 > 0:11:22so they were renamed not to sound German.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27I'm not very fond of Alsatians but they love me...for dinner.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Obviously not picky eaters.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- September, your turn to pick a topic.- Hankies, please.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Hankies.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38That is a question from my esteemed colleague, Mr Rattus Rattus.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39I thank you.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41True or false?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44If you were caught in a gas attack in World War I
0:11:44 > 0:11:47without a gas mask, you should wee on your hankie,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50tie it round your mouth and nose and breathe through it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Hm, interesting. Let's see your answers now, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Look at that, all in total agreement once again,
0:11:56 > 0:11:57all going for true this time.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- What's the answer, Rattus? - Oh, dear, Oh, dear, Oh, dear,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05it's true! Although what you did if you didn't need a wee I don't know!
0:12:05 > 0:12:06Three points each,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10one question remaining, so this may well decide the round.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14It's a question on bombs, let's hear what it is.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Is this true or false?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24So, true or false - during World War One,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28pilots dropped bricks out of their planes?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Let's see those answers now, please.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Total, total agreement once again.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Let's find out if they're right. - It's true.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Yep, it's horrible but it's true. So look at that, we've ended up with
0:12:40 > 0:12:43a three-way tie, everyone getting maximum points in that round.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That means it's fingers on buzzers.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Beginning with the letter F, name the medical condition
0:12:49 > 0:12:51caused by the freezing cold in the trenches
0:12:51 > 0:12:53that could make soldiers' toes drop off.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- ATCHOO! - September?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Frostbite.- Frostbite is the right answer, congratulations,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Very good, well done,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you qualify for the First World War game
0:13:04 > 0:13:08but will you be alone or will everyone get to play too?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Let's find out.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17It's a Single Player Brainy Game so, September,
0:13:17 > 0:13:18off down the time sewer on your own.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Nowadays, most army regiments have an animal mascot,
0:13:25 > 0:13:29for example, the Third Battalion of Royal Horrible Historians,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30that's us, has a rat.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I'd salute but my arms are too short.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Dear, oh, dear. It's time to play...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Marvellous Mascots.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Your challenge today is to work out which five of these
0:13:40 > 0:13:42are genuine World War One lucky mascots.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Choose five and move them to the Real board then touch
0:13:45 > 0:13:47the stuffed dog with a medal...
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Is that really the best we can do? Oh, well.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51..to find out how many you've got right. Keep trying new
0:13:51 > 0:13:55combinations until you've got all five but you're against the clock!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58And your time starts...now.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So, September attempts to play Marvellous Mascots,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04and what's her first choice? Let's have a look.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08That's Private Derby the Ram.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Some of these names are hilarious!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Corporal Charlie the cockroach!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15I should just mention, actually,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18that you can of course play along at home, using the Gory Games app.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Bella and Bertha the cows go up next, er,
0:14:20 > 0:14:21then Taffy the goat.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yeah, Taffy IV there, actually.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Er, sounds a bit Welsh really.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Or am I just stereotyping them? - Yes, probably,
0:14:28 > 0:14:30please don't upset the Welsh, Rattus,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32we're in enough trouble as it is. Stubby the Dog up.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34How's she got on?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, she's got four,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39what one will she take away? The Cockroach!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Off he goes, dragging his tiny little flute behind him.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Nancy the Springbok goes up there and it gives her the game.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50What a celebration there! Textbook!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54September, it was an absolute triumph,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58help yourself to another Year Sphere, why don't you?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00You were right, Blue the Kangaroo
0:15:00 > 0:15:03and Corporal Charlie the Cockroach and were the made-up ones.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06The lucky mascots of the Scots Guards were two cows called
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Bella and Bertha,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10they were the only survivors from a herd that had been hit by a bomb.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15So the Scots Guards got two mascots and all the mince they could eat!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- LAUGHS - That's inappropriate.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19- Yeah, sorry.- OK.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Four questions as always and here are your four Middle Ages topics:
0:15:34 > 0:15:37So, Morgan, it's your turn to pick first this time,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- what's it going to be? - 1066 please.- 1066.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Is this true or false?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So is that true or is that false?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Let's see those answers.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Interesting, the girls agreeing on false, Sol has gone for true.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Let's find out who's right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It's true.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Yeah, he was called Ivo Taillefer
0:16:05 > 0:16:07and he was William the Conqueror's jester.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09He charged at the Saxons while juggling
0:16:09 > 0:16:11and obviously he was killed immediately.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14So I guess the Saxons had the last laugh after all.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15What an idiot.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20OK, September, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Can I have laws please?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Yes, you can...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27And that is a prop question.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Ooh! - Rattus loves those prop questions.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32OK, here is your question. True or false?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35One Middle Ages method for seeing
0:16:35 > 0:16:38if someone was guilty of a crime involved eating cake.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41They're all staring at the cake. I'll repeat the question.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44One Middle Ages method for seeing if someone was guilty of a crime
0:16:44 > 0:16:46involved eating cake.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49They've all gone for true.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52That's absolutely right, it was true, the accused person
0:16:52 > 0:16:56would eat a slice of cake, if they choked on it then they were guilty.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Rattus, did you steal some of this cake?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING
0:17:01 > 0:17:04No further questions, your honour. Well done, everyone,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06you got that absolutely right.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- It's your turn to pick a topic, Sol. - Cures.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Cures it is, let's hear the question.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12True or false?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15One Middle Ages cure for the Black Death
0:17:15 > 0:17:17involved jumping over a sewer.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22One Middle Ages cure for the Black Death involved jumping over a sewer.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Is that true or is that false?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Show me now and OK, Sol out on his own again with false,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29the girls agreeing with true.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Let's find out what the answer is.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35It's false but we thought one way to avoid catching the plague was
0:17:35 > 0:17:37to sit in a sewer. You see,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41the bad air of the plague is driven off by the worse air of the drains.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Yeah, right.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Well, to be fair, I spend much of my time sitting in the sewer
0:17:49 > 0:17:50and I've never died of the Black Death.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Slight misunderstanding of how biology works there,
0:17:54 > 0:17:55but no misunderstanding from Sol,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58even with one question left in this round
0:17:58 > 0:18:00it's too late for the others, Sol has won.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04So, Sol, help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Sol is through to play the Middle Ages game
0:18:08 > 0:18:11but will it be just him or will everyone else be coming along too?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Let's find out.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's an All Play Gory Game,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21so it's off down the time sewer with the lot of you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Lead off, Morgan.- See you!- See you.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Toodlepip!- Toodlepip, Sol.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Au revoir!- Au revoir!
0:18:31 > 0:18:32King William the Conqueror
0:18:32 > 0:18:35came to power after the gory Battle of Hastings,
0:18:35 > 0:18:39and the funeral that marked the end of his reign was no less gory.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42His servants stole all his jewels, his body was so bloated
0:18:42 > 0:18:45it exploded, and the church caught fire.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46It's time to play...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yuckaroo.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51You are William's servants and your challenge is to take as much
0:18:51 > 0:18:54of the old tyrant's treasure as possible and put it in your chest.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59All the treasure is colour coded and you must only take your own colour.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Whoever collects the most pieces wins the Year Sphere
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and you'd better be quick because the church
0:19:04 > 0:19:08is going to burn down and your time starts now.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Here we go with Yuckaroo - the colour-coded treasure challenge
0:19:11 > 0:19:16that ends in gooiness. Look, September off the mark,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20so, too, is Sol. Lovely stuff. And Morgan away.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- They're good thieves.- They certainly are.- Yeah, lovely to see three
0:19:24 > 0:19:28such excellent thieves at the top of their game,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32and all working away feverishly on William the Conqueror's coffin.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35All his treasure stolen by his servants at his funeral
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and the other thing to note was that his guts exploded half way through!
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I've got a feeling that might be about to happen here but...
0:19:42 > 0:19:43I'm rather hoping so, Dave.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46..I don't think they know about it, which is excellent.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Oh, dear me, Sol has put one in his chest there
0:19:48 > 0:19:50that wasn't brown so that won't count.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Obviously stealing and nicking things is pretty bad on its own
0:19:55 > 0:20:00but to do it from a dead man just seems downright disrespectful.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yes, even though he was a bit of a foul bully he didn't deserve this,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05no one deserves this, this is naughty behaviour.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- Oh!- There go his guts! He's exploded and that has taken Morgan
0:20:10 > 0:20:13on the arm and I think Sol got covered in it
0:20:13 > 0:20:14but he barely looked up!
0:20:14 > 0:20:18It's like he gets covered in guts every day of the week.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21It's very close here, September and Morgan very close
0:20:21 > 0:20:24and there's only two points separating all of them.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- GONG - Very exciting with 30 seconds left.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Now, September's put the wrong stuff in her box
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and that won't count. So Morgan's drawn level.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Morgan's doing very well, gathering a fair old booty
0:20:37 > 0:20:39but she's also being very selective,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42having a look at what she fancies the look of.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43I think that's a mistake,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45you've just got to take it all.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49The church is now very much on fire - they've got to get
0:20:49 > 0:20:50out of there quickly!
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Morgan with a one point lead, but September drawing level
0:20:54 > 0:20:59and that could be absolutely crucial and it is! September and Morgan
0:20:59 > 0:21:02have tied on six pieces each
0:21:02 > 0:21:05and that means they'll both get a Year Sphere.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Back behind your podiums.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- How did you find that, Morgan? - I found it really fun.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Have you done any thieving, Sol?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Oh yeah... Yeah? - From my sister, yeah.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- She know about that yet? - Don't think so.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19She does now! So, never mind.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21How did you find that, September?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Quite easy cos I didn't get covered in any gunge so...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26You withdrew for that bit!
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Well done, everyone. September,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31if you could choose yours for me first, please.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35And, Morgan, help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Lovely. Everyone has a Year Sphere.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Time for the final round,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45It's the Vicious Vikings.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47No quirky quiz in our final round,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49it's straight to our big All Play Viking End Game
0:21:49 > 0:21:50and it is a scary one.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55So, everyone, get down that Time Sewer!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- See ya!- See ya.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Bye!- Bye.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Auf Wiedersein!- Auf Wiedersein.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04A multilinguist!
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Picture the scene: it's June 8th, 793 AD
0:22:09 > 0:22:11and another peaceful day begins
0:22:11 > 0:22:13in the tranquil island monastery of Lindisfarne.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Suddenly, an unusual sound breaks the silence.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It's the sound of a Viking chopping a monk in two.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20It's time to play...
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Viking Attack.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You are defenceless monks.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Your only hope of survival is that the Vikings won't find you
0:22:27 > 0:22:30so best not step on a squeaky floorboard.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Your challenge is to find
0:22:32 > 0:22:33the one squeak-free path.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Every time you step on a squeaky wooden panel
0:22:35 > 0:22:37you'll be sent back to the start.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Reach the end of the path and you are faced with two doors.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Behind one is freedom. Behind the other is...
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Rarrr!
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I was portraying a Viking. Find him,
0:22:50 > 0:22:51and you have to start again.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54The first person to escape wins the Year Sphere.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Ready, steady, shh.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Here we go, then, and what an appalling start,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02everybody's squeaked already!
0:23:02 > 0:23:04That's woken up the monks,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07there they are, our three custodian monks who stand at the back
0:23:07 > 0:23:09to ensure fair play at all times
0:23:09 > 0:23:15and also because they have absolutely nothing better to do.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17SQUEAK
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Oh, Sol gets that familiar sinking feeling
0:23:20 > 0:23:23and that means he must return to the start.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Oh, that was a lovely cross-legged walk there from Morgan.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31September, really thinking long and hard about this one
0:23:31 > 0:23:34and Morgan is right at the end already. Oh no!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36There's the frustration in a nutshell,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39she's right back and has to start again.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46But look, she's back up quickly, all three on the charge...
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Morgan down, Sol down, but September wasn't down. That is peculiar!
0:23:49 > 0:23:53September didn't need to go back, extraordinary.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58September is very close, look how close she is here.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03She just needs a solid one... Oh! She tried! She tried!
0:24:06 > 0:24:10She thought, if I skip across it, it won't register,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14but it will! Cheeky indeed but they all know their paths now.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17It's really a case of who can remember best.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22She's over! Now, which door is it? Is it freedom or the Viking?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Oh, it's the Viking.- Oh, it's a Viking.- Back to the beginning.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27You'd better get back, September,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29before he chops some part of you off and Sol has to
0:24:29 > 0:24:34go back as well which leaves Morgan our front runner, can she get there?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Can she get there? But September's coming back...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Surely she'll choose the right door? And she does!
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Fist pump, double turn,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44perfect celebrating at the end of a perfect game.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47And Morgan knows how close that was!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Very well done, that was very exciting.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53September, help yourself to another Year Sphere, of course.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Superb. Well done.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Monks spent much of their time copying out books by hand.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Monasteries were like huge libraries crammed full of hundreds of books.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05But not one on how to defend yourself in the event
0:25:05 > 0:25:07of a Viking attack, huh, go figure.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Time to count up those Year Spheres and, remember,
0:25:11 > 0:25:16AD years are added to your total and BC years are subtracted from it.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18So despite the fact that you've only got one, Morgan,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21you could still win this quite easily.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24OK, let's have a look at your Year Spheres then, September.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Start off with that first one.
0:25:26 > 0:25:291453 AD, the end of the Hundred Years War.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31A good start, let's look at the second one.
0:25:33 > 0:25:371852 AD, London's first flushing loo opened to the public.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Let's see the third.
0:25:39 > 0:25:451170 AD, Archbishop Thomas Becket murdered. The fourth?
0:25:47 > 0:25:501789 AD, start of the French Revolution!
0:25:50 > 0:25:54It's all down to this last fifth sphere.
0:25:54 > 0:25:5879 AD, the Colosseum opened in Rome.
0:25:58 > 0:26:05That means you have ended up with a mahoosive total of 6,343.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Sol, it's going to be tricky to beat that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Let's have a look at that first one.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Well, you started off badly in your quest for 6,000 points,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15you've got 9,000 BC -
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Stone Age man started using bows and arrows round about then.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Let's have a look at the second one.
0:26:21 > 0:26:241666 AD, the Great Fire of London, of course,
0:26:24 > 0:26:31and that means that you have ended up with a score of minus 7,334.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Morgan, one Year Sphere,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35it's going to be tough to beat 6,343,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37but let's see what you've got..
0:26:37 > 0:26:43Oh! It's 776 BC, the first ever Ancient Olympics that year.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Well, that is no consolation whatsoever.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49All that means that today's winner, with 6,343 points,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52is September, who goes home with our star prize
0:26:52 > 0:26:55and it really is the best prize that Rattus could possibly find,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58which gives you some idea of how little effort he puts
0:26:58 > 0:27:01into this task. What have you got, my furry friend?
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Dave, today's prize just oozes class, ha-ha!
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Well, actually it just oozes, cos it's what Saxon peasants used
0:27:09 > 0:27:14to plaster their walls. It's pure pig poo!
0:27:14 > 0:27:17That's it, is it? Just a load of pig poop.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- It's not just pig poop. - But what else is there?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- I'm throwing in the bucket. - Ooh, unbelievable.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Well, con-rat-ulations, September.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- There you go, well done.- Thank you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Sorry it's, er... Well, sorry it's a bucket of poo.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34It just remains for me to say thanks to our champion September,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36thanks to our runners up, Sol and Morgan,
0:27:36 > 0:27:37and no thanks whatsoever to Rattus.
