Hey, Rattus, we're on in a minute. What are you doing?

0:00:020:00:04

I'm taking a photo for my fanpage on Verminstagram.

0:00:040:00:07

Oh, whatever, I'm clueless about all that social media stuff.

0:00:070:00:11

Yeah, I'm just taking a quick selfwee.

0:00:110:00:13

-Well, no, hang on. Even

-I

-know it's a selfie. It's a sel-FIE.

0:00:130:00:17

No, Dave, it's definitely a selfwee.

0:00:170:00:19

HE URINATES, CAMERA CLICKS

0:00:190:00:21

-Eugh!

-Ooh, that's warm round my ankles.

0:00:210:00:23

Oh! How long have you been saving that up, Rattus?!

0:00:230:00:27

# If mummies, rats and fleas ain't your thing

0:00:280:00:31

# And you don't like the sound of an exploding king

0:00:310:00:34

# If you're easily scared and don't laugh at poo

0:00:340:00:37

# You'd better turn off This show ain't for you

0:00:370:00:40

# Still watching? Then let's test your brains

0:00:400:00:44

# With Horrible Histories Gory Games

0:00:440:00:46

# Horrible Histories Gory...

0:00:460:00:48

# ..Games! #

0:00:490:00:51

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

0:00:510:00:54

And me, Rattus Rattus.

0:00:540:00:56

Rattus, what are you doing?

0:00:570:00:59

I'm just taking a quick pic out there for all my followers.

0:00:590:01:02

Take a look, eh? Hashtag bogies.

0:01:020:01:04

Let's just get on with the show, shall we,

0:01:040:01:06

and meet our Horrible Historians.

0:01:060:01:08

I'm Haryan and I'm from Derby!

0:01:090:01:12

Hello, Haryan.

0:01:120:01:13

I'm Kat and I'm from Hereford!

0:01:130:01:15

Hello, Kat.

0:01:150:01:17

I'm Arthur and I'm from Devon!

0:01:170:01:19

All right, Arthur! Welcome, everyone.

0:01:190:01:22

Right, you are all here, because you're playing to win Year Spheres.

0:01:220:01:27

The person with the highest year score at the end of the show,

0:01:270:01:30

will win a putrid prize -

0:01:300:01:32

scraped out of the Time Sewer... THEY GIGGLE

0:01:320:01:34

..by my dear friend, Mr Rattus Rattus himself.

0:01:340:01:37

Yeah, and I've also got a little something

0:01:370:01:39

for you people at home too! It's the brilliant Gory Games app.

0:01:390:01:42

Download it from the CBBC website and you can play along with us!

0:01:420:01:45

Hashtag you're welcome!

0:01:450:01:47

Hashtag more hashtags! Thank you, Rattus.

0:01:470:01:50

So, what's the first round about? Let's head over to the Gory Grid.

0:01:500:01:53

It's the Vile Victorians. Good day.

0:01:550:01:58

Vile Victorians, happy with that, Arthur?

0:01:580:02:00

-I love the Victorians.

-Do you? Excellent. Kat?

0:02:000:02:02

-Revised hard on the Victorians?

-I know a lot about them anyway.

0:02:020:02:06

-Hello, there, Haryan.

-Hashtag Victorians are awesome!

0:02:060:02:09

Oh, look at this! GIGGLING

0:02:090:02:11

Three Victorian experts. This could be a ding-dong battle.

0:02:110:02:15

Four questions coming up, then, on the Vile Victorians.

0:02:150:02:18

And the person who gets the most right wins the Year Sphere.

0:02:180:02:21

Your Victorian topics are...

0:02:210:02:23

And, Arthur, it is your turn to pick first.

0:02:290:02:32

-Could I have Suffragettes, please?

-Suffragettes, you certainly can.

0:02:320:02:35

-Let's hear that question.

-True or false?

0:02:350:02:38

Queen Victoria was very much in favour

0:02:380:02:40

of the Suffragette movement. She thought women

0:02:400:02:43

-SHOULD have the right to vote.

-CROWD CHEERS

0:02:430:02:45

How's your Votes For Rats campaign going, Rattus?

0:02:450:02:47

Well, funnily enough, Dave, not good.

0:02:470:02:50

OK, Queen Victoria was very much in favour of the Suffragette movement.

0:02:500:02:54

She thought women should have the right to vote.

0:02:540:02:56

Is that true or is that false?

0:02:560:02:58

Show me.

0:02:580:02:59

OK, the boys agree on false.

0:02:590:03:01

What's the answer?

0:03:010:03:02

It's false.

0:03:020:03:03

Queen Victoria thought Suffragettes were an absolute disgrace,

0:03:030:03:08

and that women shouldn't be given any power,

0:03:080:03:10

apart from her, obviously.

0:03:100:03:12

Right, Arthur and Haryan, you are off the mark.

0:03:120:03:15

Don't worry, Kat, it's very early days,

0:03:150:03:17

and you get to choose the next topic.

0:03:170:03:19

-Can I have Photos, please?

-Let's hear that question.

0:03:190:03:22

Is this true or false?

0:03:220:03:24

There was a Victorian craze for getting photos taken

0:03:290:03:32

with deceased loved ones. Is that true or is that false?

0:03:320:03:36

Arthur, not having any of it. What's the answer?

0:03:380:03:40

It's...true!

0:03:400:03:42

Do you know, I'll take photographs

0:03:420:03:44

of pretty much anything for Verminstagram,

0:03:440:03:47

but deceased loved ones?

0:03:470:03:48

Well, that's just crossing the line!

0:03:480:03:51

RATTUS HARRUMPHS

0:03:510:03:53

Rattus, I don't think I've ever seen you properly outraged before.

0:03:530:03:56

I am properly outraged!

0:03:560:03:58

HARYAN GIGGLES Well done, Kat.

0:03:580:04:00

That's a point for you. And another point for you, Haryan.

0:04:000:04:03

That means you go into an early lead.

0:04:030:04:05

And it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:04:050:04:07

Could I have Graveyards, please?

0:04:070:04:09

Let's hear the question.

0:04:090:04:10

True or false? The graveyards in Victorian London

0:04:100:04:14

were so overcrowded with dead bodies

0:04:140:04:16

that a graveyard railway was specially built to take bodies

0:04:160:04:19

-to a cemetery outside of London.

-TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS

0:04:190:04:21

The graveyard railway was specially built

0:04:210:04:24

to take bodies to a cemetery outside of London.

0:04:240:04:27

Is that true or is it false?

0:04:270:04:29

OK, Kat, you are on your own this time.

0:04:290:04:32

What's the answer, please?

0:04:320:04:33

-It's true!

-Yes!

-At least it was fairly cheap.

0:04:330:04:36

You only had to buy a one-way ticket for the corpse.

0:04:360:04:39

Well done, Kat!

0:04:390:04:40

Excellent lone-voice answer.

0:04:400:04:42

There's one topic left in this round.

0:04:420:04:44

It is Cures, and this is the question.

0:04:440:04:47

True or false? A Victorian remedy for whooping cough...

0:04:470:04:51

-COUGHING

-..was to get a hedgehog,

0:04:510:04:53

feed it with milk, and then give the leftover milk to the sick person.

0:04:530:04:56

You get a hedgehog, you feed it with milk,

0:04:560:04:58

you give the leftover milk to the sick person.

0:04:580:05:01

Is that true or is that false?

0:05:010:05:03

Arthur's gone for false. If you're right, Arthur, this could

0:05:030:05:06

pull you right back into the game. What's the answer?

0:05:060:05:08

It's false. Of course it is.

0:05:080:05:11

That cure only works if you use a ferret.

0:05:110:05:14

-Of course.

-Of course!

0:05:140:05:15

-Everyone knows that, eh, Rattus.

-Oh, yes.

-Arthur, well done.

0:05:150:05:19

You clawed your way back in and you know what that means -

0:05:190:05:21

we have a three-way

0:05:210:05:23

tie-breaker situation. KLAXON BLARES

0:05:230:05:25

Fingers on buzzers.

0:05:250:05:27

Beginning with the letter I, what was the name of the country

0:05:270:05:30

that Queen Victoria became Empress of...

0:05:300:05:33

-Cat.

-India.

0:05:330:05:34

India is absolutely right. CHEERING

0:05:340:05:36

You have won the first Year Sphere.

0:05:360:05:39

Congratulations. You know what that means, don't you?

0:05:390:05:42

It's time for me to say...

0:05:420:05:43

VOICE ECHOES: "All hail the Potty Pyramid."

0:05:430:05:48

# Oh, oh!

0:05:480:05:50

# Oh, oh! #

0:05:500:05:52

Ooh, ooh, let me get a shot of this.

0:05:520:05:55

Pick carefully, Kat, because AD dates

0:05:550:05:57

will be added to your total, but BC dates

0:05:570:05:59

will be subtracted from it. CAMERA CLICKS

0:05:590:06:02

We'll find out later what's inside.

0:06:020:06:04

-It's so shiny.

-It is shiny, isn't it?

0:06:040:06:07

A bit like my head. LAUGHTER

0:06:070:06:08

Now, winning the Victorian quiz means Kat is automatically through

0:06:080:06:11

to play the Victorian game. But will she be alone?

0:06:110:06:14

Or will everyone else get to play too?

0:06:140:06:16

Let's find out, shall we?

0:06:160:06:17

-It's an All Play scary game. ALL:

-Yes!

0:06:210:06:24

-So, come on. Down that Time Sewer.

-Disgusting!

0:06:240:06:27

Go on, Haryan, get down there.

0:06:270:06:29

Oh, it's disgusting. Has somebody peed in here?!

0:06:290:06:32

-Come on, Arthur.

-It's like the TARDIS, only stinky!

0:06:320:06:35

In Victorian times,

0:06:370:06:39

not all poor children had to do dangerous work in factories.

0:06:390:06:42

Oh, no. Some of them had to do dangerous work up chimneys!

0:06:420:06:46

-Hashtag new game alert!

-That's right. It's time to play...

0:06:460:06:49

Your challenge is to scramble

0:06:520:06:53

up and down the chimney clearing four blockages one by one.

0:06:530:06:57

Then pop your sweep's brush out of the top of the chimney.

0:06:570:07:00

The first person to do so is the winner.

0:07:000:07:02

In three, two, one...

0:07:020:07:04

HOOTER BLOWS

0:07:040:07:05

And the sweeps are off. And all three of them know

0:07:050:07:08

that they're going to have to work quickly here

0:07:080:07:11

if they want to avoid being prodded

0:07:110:07:13

by the evil master sweep with his stick.

0:07:130:07:16

And Haryan's made a flying start - there's a bird's nest removed.

0:07:160:07:19

That blockage is clear.

0:07:190:07:20

The household won't be having any trouble with that.

0:07:200:07:23

Both Haryan and Arthur are extraordinarily quick

0:07:230:07:25

to get back up that chimney and look at this -

0:07:250:07:28

Arthur releases that crow like an expert chimney sweep.

0:07:280:07:30

While Kat and Haryan can only marvel at his speed.

0:07:300:07:33

Ah, this is the master chimney sweep.

0:07:330:07:35

He's going to help the children

0:07:350:07:37

get up their chimneys by poking them with pins!

0:07:370:07:39

Look at Arthur go, like a rat up a drainpipe.

0:07:390:07:41

I think the expression you're after, Dave,

0:07:410:07:44

-is like a Victorian child up a chimney.

-That as well!

0:07:440:07:47

Kat's delivering her second blockage and getting

0:07:470:07:49

a little bit of encouragement there from the master sweep.

0:07:490:07:52

Oh, Arthur's been derailed.

0:07:520:07:54

-That could be crucial, Ratters.

-I think it will be, Dave.

0:07:540:07:57

He's going to be spitting feathers.

0:07:570:07:58

Well, he certainly will be, because that's allowed Haryan

0:07:580:08:01

to whizz past him and deliver his third blockage.

0:08:010:08:03

Haryan is steadily making his way through the field.

0:08:030:08:07

Arthur, I don't know what happened there.

0:08:070:08:09

He's found himself overtaken, though, by Haryan.

0:08:090:08:12

And now, it's very much game on.

0:08:120:08:13

Because he has got the pace to come back in this.

0:08:130:08:16

Look at him move. He shifts so quickly.

0:08:160:08:19

It's extraordinary! There's Kat coming out with a bird's nest.

0:08:190:08:23

But Haryan and Arthur are on their second bird each.

0:08:230:08:25

And now, Haryan charging! It's a foot race!

0:08:250:08:29

Who's going to make it to the button? Bang!

0:08:290:08:31

Oh, it's a close-fought thing!

0:08:310:08:33

Haryan gets the brush out of the chimney.

0:08:330:08:36

He's not sure whether he's got it.

0:08:360:08:38

He's been told now. It's official. CHEERING

0:08:380:08:40

There's the double pot stir and Arthur is distraught.

0:08:400:08:43

Much like a Victorian child, he's collapsed up a chimney!

0:08:430:08:47

That's terrific sweeping.

0:08:470:08:49

Terrific sweeping. CHILDREN COUGH

0:08:490:08:50

Well done. Come on, Haryan. Get yourself a Year Sphere, fella.

0:08:500:08:54

Well played. Well played indeed. Interesting choice.

0:08:540:08:58

Will it be good? Will be bad? We just don't know.

0:08:580:09:01

Arthur, you had such speed up the chimney there.

0:09:010:09:05

I think I'm just good at monkey bars while sitting on stuff.

0:09:050:09:08

And the fact that there was a man chasing you with a pin on a stick...

0:09:080:09:11

Yeah, just coming over to me and going...

0:09:110:09:13

-And that's because he was trying to speed you up.

-Dave! Dave!

0:09:130:09:17

You're going viral on Verminstagram.

0:09:170:09:19

-Am I? Is that bad?

-No, it's good. Look!

0:09:190:09:22

Yeah, but look at these comments.

0:09:220:09:24

"Nice all you can eat bogie restaurant"?!

0:09:240:09:28

"Is that Dave's beard or your backside, Rattus?"

0:09:280:09:30

How many people have seen this?

0:09:300:09:32

Loads! I've got thousands of followers.

0:09:320:09:35

-And that's just my immediate family.

-But I can just delete them, right?

0:09:350:09:38

-What? My family?

-Never mind.

0:09:380:09:40

Anyway, onto Round Two.

0:09:400:09:42

And to find out what's up next, it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:09:420:09:44

It's the Awful Egyptians.

0:09:460:09:50

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

0:09:500:09:53

-Kat, your turn to pick first this time.

-Can I have Beauty, please?

0:09:570:10:00

Of course you can. Let's hear that question.

0:10:000:10:02

True or false?

0:10:020:10:04

An ancient Egyptian cure for baldness was to wash your head

0:10:040:10:07

in water that had been boiled with the hair of a camel.

0:10:070:10:10

An Egyptian cure for baldness - to wash your head in water

0:10:100:10:14

that had been boiled with the hair of a camel.

0:10:140:10:16

Is that true or is that false?

0:10:160:10:17

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

0:10:180:10:22

It's false. Ridiculous idea!

0:10:220:10:25

The water must have been boiled with the hair of a porcupine.

0:10:250:10:29

I've got a better cure for baldness.

0:10:290:10:30

-Have you?

-Yeah, a hat.

0:10:300:10:32

LAUGHTER

0:10:320:10:34

-Haryan, your turn to pick a topic.

-Could I have manure, please?

0:10:340:10:37

And I can tell you, Haryan, that is a prop question.

0:10:370:10:40

Oh, prop question.

0:10:400:10:42

-THEY CHANT:

-Prop question. Prop question.

0:10:420:10:44

Oh, no. It's poo!

0:10:440:10:46

Oh, it's poo! Right, come on, give it here.

0:10:460:10:48

I want to get a photo of that for my Verminstagram.

0:10:480:10:51

Ah! Hashtag rat dinners.

0:10:510:10:53

Less a prop question, more of a plop question.

0:10:530:10:55

LAUGHTER True or false?

0:10:550:10:58

Sheep manure was used as a fuel to cook with.

0:10:580:11:01

SHEEP BAAS So, sheep manure.

0:11:010:11:03

Was it used as a fuel to cook with?

0:11:030:11:06

Show me now, please.

0:11:060:11:07

Everybody's gone for true.

0:11:070:11:09

And I can tell you it is true.

0:11:090:11:12

ALL: Yes.

0:11:120:11:13

-Is anyone going to eat that?

-No, they are not.

0:11:130:11:15

And neither are you. That is a point apiece.

0:11:150:11:18

Well played, everybody.

0:11:180:11:20

-Arthur, what you having?

-Could I have Toothpaste, please?

0:11:200:11:23

Let's hear that question.

0:11:230:11:25

True or false?

0:11:250:11:27

Ancient Egyptian toothpaste contained onions.

0:11:270:11:30

So, ancient Egyptian toothpaste contained onions.

0:11:300:11:33

Is that true or is that false?

0:11:330:11:35

Oh, everyone's agreed again, Rattus.

0:11:360:11:38

Everybody has said false. What's the answer?

0:11:380:11:41

It's true.

0:11:410:11:42

Great for fresh breath.

0:11:420:11:45

Actually, you know what? Onions would improve Rattus' breath.

0:11:450:11:48

HE EXHALES

0:11:480:11:49

-THUD! Oh.

-Oh, Rattus.

0:11:490:11:52

-Rattus!

-Oh, I can smell that from here.

0:11:520:11:54

As I said, onions would improve Rattus' breath.

0:11:540:11:59

One question left in this round. And it is a question on Peasants.

0:11:590:12:02

-Let's hear it.

-Is this true or false?

0:12:020:12:06

As soon as they could walk, peasant children were sent to work

0:12:130:12:16

in the fields as scarecrows. Is that true, or is that false?

0:12:160:12:19

Arthur, you're on your own with false.

0:12:200:12:22

Kat and Haryan, you think it's true.

0:12:220:12:24

Let's find out what the answer is.

0:12:240:12:27

It's true!

0:12:270:12:29

-Yes.

-No!

-That is a point for Kat and a point for Haryan.

0:12:290:12:32

That means, Arthur, for now, you are history.

0:12:320:12:35

But we have another tie-break situation.

0:12:350:12:38

KLAXON BLARES

0:12:380:12:39

Fingers on your buzzers.

0:12:390:12:41

Beginning with the letter H,

0:12:410:12:44

what was the only organ that was not removed from a mummy's body?

0:12:440:12:47

-Haryan?

-Heart?

0:12:470:12:49

A heart is correct.

0:12:490:12:51

Well played, indeed. CHEERING

0:12:510:12:52

You have grabbed yourself another Year Sphere.

0:12:520:12:55

But, Kat, that was very, very close.

0:12:550:12:58

Beautifully done. Let's hope that's not a BC boo-boo.

0:12:580:13:01

OK, Haryan, you are through to play the Egyptian Game,

0:13:010:13:05

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

0:13:050:13:08

Let's find out.

0:13:080:13:09

It's a single-player Gory Game.

0:13:120:13:15

Haryan, back down that Time Sewer with you. Go on, fella.

0:13:150:13:19

Whoa, it's disgusting!

0:13:190:13:21

Next up, a truly classic Gory Game.

0:13:230:13:25

Yes, you guessed it, it's time to play...

0:13:250:13:28

When the Egyptians mummified their dead,

0:13:300:13:32

they first had to remove the vital organs

0:13:320:13:34

and put them in special preserving jars.

0:13:340:13:36

The brain had to be removed through the nose.

0:13:360:13:39

Remember, the bladder has to be chucked away, and the heart,

0:13:390:13:42

as we now know, must be left inside the body.

0:13:420:13:45

Your time starts now.

0:13:450:13:47

HOOTER BLOWS

0:13:470:13:49

Yeah, that's right, health and safety.

0:13:490:13:51

Let's get those goggles on first.

0:13:510:13:52

Now, a lot of them go straight for the brains.

0:13:520:13:54

Not Haryan - he's gone for...

0:13:540:13:56

-The jugular!

-Well, it's not the jugular, it's in fact the stomach.

0:13:560:14:01

Now, can he work out which canopic jar to put it in, Rattus?

0:14:010:14:04

It's very easy to confuse your body parts.

0:14:040:14:07

He's put that in the bin just to prove a point there, Rattus.

0:14:070:14:10

He's luckily taken it out of the bin

0:14:100:14:12

now and put it in that one there.

0:14:120:14:14

And that's right. LOUD CRUNCHING

0:14:140:14:16

And here we go with our old friend, the intestines.

0:14:160:14:19

17 miles of intestines there.

0:14:190:14:21

It doesn't look it on camera,

0:14:210:14:22

but that is how much there is there, Rattus.

0:14:220:14:25

All we need is a little bit of Bolognese

0:14:250:14:27

and that's a lovely tea for someone.

0:14:270:14:29

When Ramesses II was being mummified,

0:14:290:14:31

his head fell off and they had to pin it back on with a stick.

0:14:310:14:34

-That's like, you know, totes awks!

-I'll say.

0:14:340:14:37

-Hello! There's the brain!

-There's the brain!

0:14:370:14:40

Stringy! Not the whole sort of melon-like shape it once was.

0:14:400:14:44

That's unravelled a bit there as it's come out,

0:14:440:14:46

-and gone straight in the bin, correctly.

-Absolutely correctly.

0:14:460:14:49

Yeah, what's he going to go in there for now?

0:14:490:14:51

He's going to get hold of the bladder.

0:14:510:14:53

-He's got the bladder!

-Oh, he's covered himself!

0:14:530:14:55

-Wee all over him.

-He's put it back!

0:14:550:14:57

Rattus, he has put the bladder back in! You have to wonder

0:14:570:15:01

why he's done that.

0:15:010:15:03

Still, at least he's not putting the liver back in.

0:15:030:15:05

That has been appropriately deposited.

0:15:050:15:08

Now, he's gone back in, thankfully, to retrieve the bladder.

0:15:090:15:12

Well, that's clever work. I don't believe what I'm seeing, Rattus.

0:15:120:15:15

-What is he doing?

-The bladder's been out twice, it's gone back in.

0:15:150:15:19

'30 seconds remaining.'

0:15:190:15:21

The lungs come out. That's beautiful play, that, from Haryan.

0:15:210:15:25

Straight into the correct jar.

0:15:250:15:27

He's just got to go back for the bladder.

0:15:270:15:29

Will he realise what's going on?

0:15:290:15:31

The heart. He's got the heart!

0:15:310:15:33

He's got the heart. That needs to stay in, of course.

0:15:330:15:35

He said so himself in his tie-breaker question.

0:15:350:15:38

The heart needs to stay in.

0:15:380:15:39

And when I say in, I don't mean on top, Rattus.

0:15:390:15:42

You can't just leave the heart on top.

0:15:420:15:44

What we have here is a classic bladder-heart mix-up.

0:15:440:15:48

Is he going to get it right?

0:15:480:15:50

-Oh! It's in the bin.

-KLAXON BLARES

0:15:500:15:52

-It's in the bin.

-The heart has gone in the bin.

0:15:520:15:54

If he was a heart surgeon, he'd be struck off, Rattus.

0:15:540:15:57

Quite rightly. No Year Sphere, I'm afraid.

0:15:570:16:00

Welcome back, Haryan, bad luck, fella.

0:16:000:16:02

Bad luck. Rattus, there is rat piddle everywhere here.

0:16:020:16:08

You've got to stop taking these selfwees.

0:16:080:16:10

Whoa!

0:16:100:16:12

Sorry about that, Dave.

0:16:120:16:13

-Yeah, smile.

-CAMERA CLICKS, DAVE GROANS

0:16:130:16:15

Eh? Look at that. It's got 400 likes already.

0:16:150:16:18

And one massive dislike. LAUGHTER

0:16:180:16:21

Next time, can you do it holding, like, a cute cat?

0:16:210:16:23

Cos that'd go viral.

0:16:230:16:25

Hashtag meow!

0:16:250:16:27

Hashtag out of order, Rattus!

0:16:270:16:29

Haryan, the tie-break question in the last round

0:16:290:16:33

was about leaving the heart inside the body.

0:16:330:16:36

GIGGLING

0:16:360:16:37

I got confused. I thought the heart was a bladder,

0:16:370:16:39

because the bladder looked, like, really red like a heart.

0:16:390:16:42

But the thing about the bladder - there was a lot of wee coming out.

0:16:420:16:46

RATTUS CACKLES

0:16:460:16:47

Terrific effort, but not to worry, it is all still to play for.

0:16:470:16:51

Round Three now, and it's over

0:16:510:16:53

to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.

0:16:530:16:55

It's the Groovy Greeks.

0:16:570:17:00

Arthur, you are excited.

0:17:000:17:02

I love the Greeks.

0:17:020:17:03

Brilliant. Four questions, as always,

0:17:030:17:05

and here are your four Greek topics...

0:17:050:17:08

So, Haryan, it's your turn to lead us off.

0:17:130:17:15

-What are you going to go for?

-Sparta.

0:17:150:17:17

Sparta? Let's hear the question.

0:17:170:17:19

True or false - to join the army when they were 18,

0:17:190:17:22

Spartan boys had to kill a slave?

0:17:220:17:24

To join the army when they were 18, Spartan boys had to kill a slave?

0:17:240:17:29

Is that true or is that false?

0:17:290:17:31

Everyone has gone for false. What's the answer?

0:17:320:17:35

It's true!

0:17:350:17:37

Spartan boys were expected to kill troublemakers and rebellious slaves.

0:17:370:17:41

Well, I know a troublemaker,

0:17:410:17:42

if you're running short. GIGGLING

0:17:420:17:43

Hashtag takes one to know one.

0:17:430:17:46

So no points, I'm afraid, there.

0:17:460:17:48

Still, that means it's all to play for.

0:17:480:17:50

-Come on, Arthur, what are you having?

-Philosophers, please.

0:17:500:17:52

-Philosophers? Let's hear the question.

-True or false?

0:17:520:17:56

The Greek philosopher Diogenes

0:17:560:17:58

was known to kiss anyone who insulted him.

0:17:580:18:00

Diogenes, the Greek philosopher,

0:18:000:18:02

was known to kiss anyone who insulted him?

0:18:020:18:05

Is that true or is that false?

0:18:050:18:07

Everybody has gone for false. Let's see what the answer is.

0:18:070:18:11

It's false.

0:18:110:18:13

Diogenes was known to wee on anyone who insulted him!

0:18:130:18:16

What a...a nice bloke!

0:18:160:18:19

I wee on people if they insult me.

0:18:190:18:22

-Or if they say something nice.

-That's a point apiece.

0:18:220:18:25

Well played, everybody.

0:18:250:18:26

Kat, it's your turn to pick a category.

0:18:260:18:28

Can I have doctors, please?

0:18:280:18:30

-Course you can.

-Is this true or false?

0:18:300:18:34

BUZZ! MAN GRUNTS

0:18:410:18:42

They used to numb the pain of operations by giving patients

0:18:420:18:46

electrical shocks from the torpedo fish.

0:18:460:18:49

Is that true or false?

0:18:490:18:50

Well, a slight difference of opinion here.

0:18:510:18:54

What's the answer?

0:18:540:18:56

It's true!

0:18:560:18:57

I was once shocked by an eel.

0:18:570:18:59

-Was it an electric eel?

-No, it was just very rude.

-Haryan!

0:18:590:19:03

You've taken a commanding lead

0:19:030:19:04

with just one topic left in the round.

0:19:040:19:06

That is inventors, and here is the question.

0:19:060:19:09

True or false?

0:19:090:19:10

Archimedes was a brilliant Greek inventor and defended his home city

0:19:100:19:14

of Syracuse from the Romans by designing a catapult

0:19:140:19:16

-to fire angry wasps at them.

-WASPS BUZZ

0:19:160:19:18

He defended Syracuse from the Romans by designing a catapult

0:19:180:19:22

which fired angry wasps - true or false?

0:19:220:19:25

Everybody in total agreement. What's the answer?

0:19:260:19:29

It's false!

0:19:290:19:32

But he did build a huge mechanical claw

0:19:320:19:35

-to grab and sink Roman ships.

-LOUD SPLASH

0:19:350:19:37

Wasps would have been pretty cool, too.

0:19:370:19:39

That means everybody takes a point there.

0:19:390:19:43

Haryan, you have done it again.

0:19:430:19:45

It's another Year Sphere.

0:19:450:19:47

Double pot stir your way over to the Potty Pyramid.

0:19:470:19:51

Hashtag winner! Nice one.

0:19:510:19:54

-Yes, Rattus.

-OK, Haryan.

0:19:540:19:56

As the winner of the Greek Quiz,

0:19:560:19:58

you're obviously through to play the Greek Game.

0:19:580:20:02

But will it be just you, or is everyone else coming along, too?

0:20:020:20:05

Let's find out.

0:20:050:20:06

Well, it's a single-player Brainy Game.

0:20:090:20:12

Off you go down the Time Sewer, fella.

0:20:120:20:14

You know the way by now. It does not get any nicer.

0:20:140:20:18

The Greeks were super brainy, and were always inventing stuff.

0:20:180:20:21

In fact, they invented early prototypes of loads of things

0:20:210:20:24

we still use today. It's time to play...

0:20:240:20:26

Eight everyday items. Unbelievably, five of them

0:20:290:20:32

were invented over 2,000 years ago by Geeky Greeks.

0:20:320:20:35

Your challenge is to work out which five.

0:20:350:20:38

Choose five items and move them to the columns.

0:20:380:20:41

Then touch the Greek bust to find out how many you got right.

0:20:410:20:44

Keep trying different combinations until you get all of them right.

0:20:440:20:47

Your time starts now.

0:20:470:20:49

HOOTER BLOWS

0:20:490:20:51

Now, then, what's he going to think were invented by the Greeks?

0:20:520:20:55

He's gone for the yo-yo. Interesting, Rattus.

0:20:550:20:57

That's a very interesting choice

0:20:570:20:59

-and it's a funny word - yo-yo.

-It is. Very similar, aren't they?

0:20:590:21:01

Two halves of the word, very similar, almost exactly the same.

0:21:010:21:04

Now, there's a bath there.

0:21:040:21:06

What's going to be the third choice?

0:21:070:21:09

There is a time limit on this game.

0:21:090:21:10

He doesn't really want to be hanging about too much here.

0:21:100:21:13

There's a bicycle going on to that third plinth.

0:21:130:21:17

And alarm clock goes on.

0:21:170:21:19

Interesting!

0:21:190:21:21

What's he going to go for for the fifth?

0:21:210:21:23

It's the postage stamp. OK, let's see how he's getting on.

0:21:230:21:26

'You have three correct.'

0:21:260:21:28

The Greeks didn't invent the selfwee stick!

0:21:280:21:31

No, it's only you that does selfwees, Rattus.

0:21:310:21:33

There's a reason for that. He's got three right.

0:21:330:21:36

Now, the fire extinguisher. That looks pretty modern to me,

0:21:360:21:38

that fire extinguisher. Maybe it's not that exact one they're

0:21:380:21:41

-talking about, Rattus.

-No, very possibly not that one, Dave.

0:21:410:21:44

He's changed two at once here, Rattus, this is my bugbear.

0:21:440:21:47

That's a big mistake for the boy there.

0:21:470:21:49

Yeah, you can't learn much if you're changing two at once.

0:21:490:21:52

-'You have four correct.'

-So what's he going to do?

0:21:520:21:55

He's walking around, the fire extinguisher's been adjusted.

0:21:550:21:57

The shower has come off.

0:21:570:21:59

On goes the flushing lavatory.

0:21:590:22:01

'You have three correct.'

0:22:010:22:04

-Oh, it's gone down to three!

-Oh, no!

0:22:040:22:06

At least we did definitely learn something.

0:22:060:22:09

The flushing lavatory is not right.

0:22:090:22:11

'30 seconds remaining.'

0:22:110:22:13

The fire extinguisher's off.

0:22:130:22:15

-What's going to go back on?

-Bicycle's back!

-The bicycle.

0:22:150:22:18

-'You have three correct.'

-Oh, he looks very disappointed with that.

0:22:190:22:23

It's a tricky game, this one, isn't it, Rattus?

0:22:230:22:26

Back goes the fire extinguisher.

0:22:260:22:28

So he's made that mistake and he's reversed it.

0:22:280:22:31

But the shower's come off now to be replaced by a bath.

0:22:310:22:35

Bath's back on!

0:22:350:22:36

'You have four correct.'

0:22:360:22:38

KLAXON BLARES It's all over.

0:22:380:22:40

-All over.

-Sadly, Haryan is defeated by those Geeky Greeks.

0:22:400:22:45

Back you come. Oh, bad luck, sir.

0:22:450:22:48

So the Ancient Greeks didn't invent early prototypes for bicycles,

0:22:480:22:52

postage stamps and flushing toilets.

0:22:520:22:56

Or Jacuzzis, as I like to call them.

0:22:560:22:58

Thank you, Rattus. It's time for our big all-play endgame.

0:22:580:23:02

So over to the Gory Grid to find out what we've got.

0:23:020:23:04

It's the Terrible Tudors.

0:23:060:23:09

Everybody, get back down that Time Sewer.

0:23:090:23:12

-Whoa! It's still disgusting!

-Whoa!

-Go on, Kat.

0:23:120:23:16

It's time to play our silly game...

0:23:190:23:21

Your challenge is to feed

0:23:230:23:25

Hungry Henry as many as possible. The person who gets the most pies

0:23:250:23:28

in their Henry's mouth in the time limit wins the Year Sphere.

0:23:280:23:32

In three, two, one...

0:23:320:23:33

HOOTER BLOWS

0:23:330:23:35

Hands on hips, the pie woman waits.

0:23:350:23:37

She's seen it all before!

0:23:370:23:39

And she knows how difficult this game really is.

0:23:390:23:42

The first throws coming up a bit short there,

0:23:420:23:44

but there's plenty of time to put that right.

0:23:440:23:47

Arthur there, little half turn,

0:23:470:23:49

and then running to the end of the lane. He fires!

0:23:490:23:52

-He misses.

-Dave, do you think

0:23:520:23:53

they really had inflatables back in Tudor times?

0:23:530:23:56

Yes, I do, Rattus - Henry's stomach!

0:23:560:23:59

Oh, good one, Dave!

0:23:590:24:00

THEY LAUGH

0:24:000:24:02

Voom!

0:24:020:24:04

Here we go, then, Arthur...

0:24:040:24:05

grabs... Oh, he's been tripped over by his own bungee.

0:24:050:24:08

Well, that's awkward. Haryan steadies himself.

0:24:080:24:11

Oh, did you see the angle on that, Rattus?

0:24:110:24:14

Oh, it was a whole edgeways Frisbee type!

0:24:140:24:16

It was terrific. It sort of banana'd in from wide of the mouth!

0:24:160:24:20

And here he goes again using the same technique.

0:24:200:24:22

And it's in again! That's some beautiful pie throwing.

0:24:220:24:25

Here comes Kat. She looks like she means business here.

0:24:250:24:29

She really does.

0:24:290:24:30

But then that throw falls short.

0:24:300:24:32

Arthur's giving it everything he's got, too.

0:24:320:24:34

Oh, it's not enough, though. Haryan's looking very strong here.

0:24:340:24:37

'30 seconds remaining.'

0:24:370:24:39

Kat, making another effort.

0:24:390:24:41

Can she do it?

0:24:410:24:42

Oh, this is a big pie for Kat, you feel.

0:24:430:24:45

Oh, it's just wide.

0:24:450:24:47

Arthur's having a go,

0:24:470:24:48

but the bungee's got the better of him there.

0:24:480:24:51

Kat and Arthur are still looking to score here, but as you can see,

0:24:510:24:55

both are beginning to look a little bit shattered.

0:24:550:24:57

These tight bungee cords are really taking it out of them here.

0:24:570:25:01

Just seconds remaining now. Haryan's got this, you feel.

0:25:010:25:04

One last effort. Not to be. KLAXON BLARES

0:25:040:25:07

It doesn't matter, it's all over! And they look absolutely exhausted!

0:25:070:25:11

Come on! Get back there, get back there.

0:25:120:25:14

An evenly-fought contest.

0:25:140:25:16

I can reveal that the winner of the final Year Sphere is Haryan.

0:25:160:25:21

-Yes!

-Help yourself, fella.

0:25:210:25:24

There he goes, pot stirring his way across.

0:25:240:25:27

Could be crucial, that selection.

0:25:270:25:29

Could be crucial. I'll be keeping my eye on that one. It is now time to

0:25:290:25:35

count up those Year Spheres. DRUMS BEAT, KAT IMITATES THEM

0:25:350:25:38

Remember, AD years are added to your total.

0:25:380:25:41

BC years are subtracted from it.

0:25:410:25:45

Arthur, I'm going to take a guess that you have got zero.

0:25:450:25:50

-You were right.

-That could be good enough.

0:25:500:25:52

Cat, open your sphere, please.

0:25:520:25:55

Oh, not any more, Arthur, I'm afraid.

0:25:550:25:58

CHEERING 1865 AD.

0:25:580:26:00

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated that year.

0:26:000:26:02

It's means, Kat, that you are in the lead

0:26:020:26:05

as we turn to Old Mr Spheres himself -

0:26:050:26:09

Haryan. Let's open that first on, please.

0:26:090:26:12

CHEERING 1929 AD.

0:26:120:26:14

The Wall Street Crash happened that year.

0:26:140:26:16

A good start.

0:26:160:26:17

Let's have a look at the second one.

0:26:170:26:20

CHEERING 1547 AD!

0:26:200:26:23

We're flying!

0:26:230:26:24

Henry VIII died that year.

0:26:240:26:26

The third one...

0:26:260:26:27

COW MOOS 8000 BC.

0:26:270:26:30

Oh, my goodness!

0:26:300:26:31

The end of the last Ice Age!

0:26:310:26:33

I don't think you can pull it back.

0:26:330:26:35

Let's have a look at this last one anyway.

0:26:350:26:38

Oh, it's 476 AD -

0:26:380:26:41

the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

0:26:410:26:43

All of that means that Kat is today's winner.

0:26:430:26:48

History can be so cruel, can't it?

0:26:480:26:51

-Kat, you are today's winner...

-Curse you!

-..with 1865 points.

0:26:510:26:57

And you really do deserve a wonderful prize, you know.

0:26:570:27:00

Sadly, you're only going to get

0:27:000:27:02

whatever Rattus has dredged up from the Time Sewer.

0:27:020:27:04

-Oh, you've won a nose.

-A nose?

-Yeah.

0:27:040:27:07

A metal nose belonging to a Danish astronomer called Tycho Brahe.

0:27:070:27:11

He had it made after he lost the real one in a duel.

0:27:110:27:14

Wait a minute, are you saying he didn't have a nose?

0:27:140:27:17

How did he smell?

0:27:170:27:18

-Terrible.

-Yes, come on, Rattus, don't leave me hanging.

0:27:180:27:21

-What?

-Boom!

-Ah!

0:27:210:27:23

So, there it is - a metal nose. Just what you never wanted.

0:27:230:27:28

-There you go, Kat.

-Thank you.

-CHEERING

0:27:280:27:30

Fabulous. Unfortunately, for our two runners-up, I'm afraid your day is

0:27:300:27:33

-about to get...

-Oh, no!

-Oh, yes.

-I just realised.

0:27:330:27:36

-Oh, no!

-Your day's going to get a little bit worse,

0:27:360:27:38

as you have to journey home through the Time Sewer.

0:27:380:27:41

Go on, off you go. Oh, Haryan, I feel for you, fella.

0:27:410:27:44

Oh, it smells like Rattus!

0:27:440:27:46

And don't forget, you can play along next time if you download

0:27:460:27:50

-the Gory Games app from the CBBC website.

-Oh, it's disgusting!

0:27:500:27:53

-SQUELCHING

-Oh...

-Eugh!

0:27:530:27:57

You have been watching Gory Games.

0:27:570:27:59

-And following me on Verminstagram.

-Goodbye.

0:27:590:28:02
