0:00:02 > 0:00:03We're on in a minute, Rattus.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06- ON TV:- DON'T YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY MOTHER OR I'LL SORT YOU OUT GOOD AND PROPER!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Rattus?
0:00:08 > 0:00:14Oh, sorry Dave, I was watching telly. I do love the soaps.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15You love the soaps.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Yeah it's my favourite rat soap opera,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19set in a toilet in the East End.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21No, don't tell me. It's called U-benders.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Oh you've seen it too have you?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25- ON TV:- You dirty stinking rat.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30# If mummies, rats and fleas ain't your thing,
0:00:30 > 0:00:33# And you don't like the sound of an exploding king.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36# If you're easily scared and don't laugh at poo,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40# You'd better turn off, this show ain't for you.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41# Still watching?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43# Then let's test your brains.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45# With Horrible History's Gory Games.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Horrible History's Gory...Games! #
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Hello and welcome to Gory Games. I'm Rattus Rattus.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56And I'm Dave Lamb.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00And I'm your real father.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02EASTENDER'S DOOFS
0:01:02 > 0:01:03What was that?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Well, I just thought I should inject a bit of drama into the show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09You know, spice things up a bit, like on the soaps.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13That's a terrible idea Rattus.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Actually I'm not Rattus, I'm actually Rattus' evil twin.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20DOOF DOOF
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Good grief. Let's meet today's horrible historians.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- Hi, I'm Joel and I'm from London. - Hello, Joel.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Hi, I'm Anvita and I'm from East Sussex.- Hello, Anvita.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Hi, I'm Zachary and I'm from Cheshire.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Hello, Zachary.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Welcome everyone. Right, you are here to win Year Spheres.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43The person with the highest Year score at the end of the show
0:01:43 > 0:01:46will win a prize that Rattus found in the Time Sewer under
0:01:46 > 0:01:48a pile of goodness knows what.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51And don't forget, you can play along at home too.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Just download the app from the CBBC website.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57But can you beat these horrible historians?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59DOOF DOOF
0:01:59 > 0:02:03You're not going to do that after everything you say, are you Rattus?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Very possibly. - Great. It's time for round one.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Let's go over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Four questions then. Here are your all-important Middle Ages topics.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25So, Zachary, it's your turn to pick a topic first.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I'll have King John please.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Let's hear that question.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30True or false?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34King John was buried with his crown and all the jewels he owned.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Is it true or do you smell a rat?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I know I do. - And just how is that a bad thing?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Sorry, Rattus. So King John was buried with his crown.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So do you think that's true or is it perhaps false?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Everybody in total agreement, they all think it's false.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50What's the answer please?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's false. King John was buried disguised as a penniless monk.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56He thought by dressing as a monk he would trick God
0:02:56 > 0:02:57and God would let him into heaven.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Nice try, Johnners!
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Well played everyone though.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04That's a point apiece to start off with, an excellent start.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Anvita it's your turn to pick next.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Could I have crime please?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You certainly can.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Is this true or false?
0:03:11 > 0:03:16In the Middle Ages, peasants could be arrested for being too smelly.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Hahaha! I didn't think it was possible to be too smelly.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Really? In the Middle Ages peasants could be arrested
0:03:24 > 0:03:25for being too smelly.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Is that true or is that false? Show me now please.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Everybody thinks it's true. What's the answer?
0:03:32 > 0:03:33It's false.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35It's false. Never mind.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Peasants could be arrested for wearing fine clothes.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41God, it's just too easy isn't it?
0:03:41 > 0:03:44No risk of you being arrested then!
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Yes all right, Rattus. All right. Just stick to your drums all right?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Joel you're up. Pick a topic please.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Can I have William I please?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You definitely can.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55True or false?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00In 1048 William the Conqueror captured Alencon and because
0:04:00 > 0:04:04the townspeople had insulted him, he chopped off their ears and noses.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07William the Conqueror chopped off their ears and noses.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Is that true or is that false?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12They all think it's true. What's the answer?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16It's false. He chopped off their hands and feet.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Hands up who's sorry now.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Everyone has a point. We have one topic left.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24That is Butchers and here is the question.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25True or false?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28King Edward III demanded that butchers be
0:04:28 > 0:04:30banned from slaughtering animals within the city of London.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Personally I'm all for the non-slaughter of animals.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Yeah, I bet you are Rattus.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39So, London butchers were banned from slaughtering animals.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Is that true or is that false?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Well, we have some disagreement here.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49The boys agreeing still with false, Anvita thinks this is true.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Let's find out who's right. - It's true.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Slaughtering animals in the city was banned due to the terrible
0:04:55 > 0:04:58stench from all the blood and offal. Ugh.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02So that point for Anvita changes everything,
0:05:02 > 0:05:03right at the end of the round.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Anvita you have won the first Year Sphere.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09And that means it's time for me to say
0:05:09 > 0:05:13ALL HAIL THE POINTY PYRAMIDY!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17DOOF DOOF
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Choose carefully Anvita because AD dates will be added
0:05:22 > 0:05:27to your total but of course BC dates will be subtracted from it.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Don't do the drums, Rattus.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- You can breathe.- Bwahhh!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34We'll find out what's in your sphere later on.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37OK, Anvita, you're through to the play the Middle Ages game
0:05:37 > 0:05:39but will it be just you or will the others get to play too?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Let's find out, shall we?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Oh, it's an All Play game.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46To the Time Sewer then the lot of you.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Lead us off Joel. Go on Anvita.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Ooh, it stinks!
0:05:51 > 0:05:52It does. Lead us, Zachary.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55This is so gross!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58In the Middle Ages knights weren't in the habit of just handing
0:05:58 > 0:05:59over their castle.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02No, you had to fight for it. It's time to play...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08You are laying siege to a castle, catapulting all sorts
0:06:08 > 0:06:11of things at it including rocks, rotten meat and bits of horse.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14The Year Sphere goes to the person who fires the most
0:06:14 > 0:06:16missiles into their fortress target within the time limit.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And your time starts now.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20FOGHORN
0:06:20 > 0:06:25And off they go. And Joel goes for a piece of meat.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Anvita, the humble rock. And oh, look at that.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Anvita has opened her account instantly. She's already got one in.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36How's this second one going to play out for her?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oh, well, I think that's two.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Two in two for Anvita, she is showing herself
0:06:41 > 0:06:42to be quite the player here.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44What a remarkable start, Rattus.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Absolutely, Dave.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Yeah, and no-one else troubling the scorer so far.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Very tricky to get going isn't it?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53But the boys really need to find their range.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Joel notches there, so that's 2-1 at the moment.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Come on, Zachary!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Almost an instant response from Anvita but not quite,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04that one missing slightly to the left there.
0:07:04 > 0:07:0630 seconds remaining.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Attackers were sometimes known to catapult dead horses into castles.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Spread disease and the castle was yours.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Though exactly why you'd want it if it was full of disease
0:07:17 > 0:07:18I have no idea.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Anvita takes a 3-1 lead and Joel responds instantly.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Well with the exception of Zachary they seem to be scoring well
0:07:25 > 0:07:27here, this is amazing stuff!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29And it's neck and neck as the game draws to a close.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Anvita takes what could be a crucial lead with seconds remaining!
0:07:33 > 0:07:34What can Joel do?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36It's away, it counts!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Joel's levelled it in the last second of the match!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It's a draw! Well, sort that out.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Come on then. Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Help yourselves to Year Spheres. Lovely.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Wow, that was incredibly exciting.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56OK. So round two. And to find out...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Dave look out, there's a runaway train!
0:07:59 > 0:08:00It's going to crash into us
0:08:00 > 0:08:05in a fiery special effects inferno of carnage and oblivion!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08DOOF DOOF
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Cliff-hanger moment, I can feel the surge in our ratings.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Yeah. I think that might just be the rotten fig you ate.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15RATTUS FARTS
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh, yeah, it could be that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19What's up next? It's over to the Gory Grid.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24It's the awful Egyptians.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Awful Egyptians. Joel, what about them?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29My best subject.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Really? Watch out for the Joel surge. Anvita?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I really, really, really like the awful Egyptians.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Ho-ho. This is shaping up nicely. Zachary?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I'm a quarter Egyptian and I'm doing it in school.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43and yet, it's still my weak point.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44No!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Zachary that is a strange state of affairs. Four questions again.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Here are your all-important Egyptian topics.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So Anvita, it's your turn to lead us off this time.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Could I have Pharaohs please?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03You certainly can, what's the question please?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04True or false?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07We Pharaohs could get up as late as we wanted.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11So, Pharaohs could get up as late as they wanted.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Is that true or is that false? Show me now please.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Wow, Zachary and Anvita think it's true, Joel thinks it's false.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19What's the answer please?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21It's false.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Pharaohs had to get up before sunrise every day
0:09:23 > 0:09:26and perform a ceremony to make the sun rise.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Do you know nothing about how the planets work?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Obviously not. But Joel does.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35He's got himself a point and he gets to pick the next topic.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36What'll you have Joel?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I will have Soldiers, please.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40That is a question for Rattus Rattus.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44It certainly is. True or false.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Egyptian soldiers didn't wear helmets.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52So to protect their heads in battle they used to grow their hair.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Is it true that it's false? Or false that it's true?
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Well, they both mean false, Rattus.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Don't play with my mind, Dave, don't play with my mind!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Thank you Rattus. So do you think that's true or is it perhaps false?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Can I see your answers now please?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Everybody thinks it's true. What's the answer Rattus?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Oh, dear. Yes, it's true!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I'd give the Ancient Egyptian Army a miss if I was you, Dave.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Not a problem. Well played everybody. Points all round.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Zachary, your turn to pick.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27I'll have hauntings please.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Let's hear the question.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30True or false?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34We ancient Egyptians used to write letters to the dead asking them
0:10:34 > 0:10:35not to haunt us.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40So, ancient Egyptians used to write letters to the dead asking them
0:10:40 > 0:10:42not to haunt them.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Is that true or is that false? Let's have a look.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Everybody's in total agreement, they all think it's true.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50What's the answer?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51It's true.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53We hoped the letter would smooth over any disagreements
0:10:53 > 0:10:54we had in life.
0:10:56 > 0:11:02"Dear Uncle Nimlot, Sorry I had you assassinated. Lots of love, Tracy."
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Yeah well, that should do it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Congratulations everybody, points raining down on us from all angles.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13There's one topic left in this round, it's deodorants.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Let's hear the question.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15True or false?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26I never wear deodorant, just odorant.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You don't really need that to be fair, Rattus.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31So do you think that's true or is it perhaps false?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Show me now please.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, the boys both think it's true, Anvita thinks it's false.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- What's the answer? - It's true!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Well, I bet they really worked up a sweat running away from those
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- angry ostriches. - Yeah, I bet they did.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45RATTUS GOBBLES
0:11:45 > 0:11:46No wait a minute, that's turkeys.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Much bigger.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52So a point for the boys there means that at the end of that round
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Joel with a full house, you have won yourself another Year Sphere.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Help yourself, Joel.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03We'll find out later what's inside there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Nah, let's find out now!- No, later!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- NO, NOW!- WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RATTUS?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I'M HAVING A POINTLESS ARGUMENT LIKE THEY DO IN THE SOAPS
0:12:14 > 0:12:17TO BUILD UP THE TENSION TO THE DRUMROLL!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20DOOF DOOF
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Moving on. Now, Joel, although you're through to play
0:12:23 > 0:12:25the Awful Egyptian Game, will you be playing on your own
0:12:25 > 0:12:28or will the others get to join in with you?
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Let's find out shall we?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's an All Play brainy game.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37So everyone, get back down that Time Sewer.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Go on, Joel, lead them off.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Ugh! Whee!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Yes, there's wee in there all right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Wa-hay! - Not much hay.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50OK. this game is a puzzle and it's based on pyramids.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51So that's why we call it...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54..The Zombie Firework Death Bang Challenge!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56No. We call it...
0:12:58 > 0:12:59I like my title better.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01So do I, actually.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03So you have to build a pyramid out of blocks,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06making sure you get everything in the right order.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Steady, go, ready.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12In the right order. Ready, steady, go.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14FOGHORN
0:13:14 > 0:13:18The crucial thing here, Rattus, is to get your base level correct.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22And the thing about the base level is it has to have straight
0:13:22 > 0:13:26sides, you can't have slanty sides on your base.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29One of the seven wonders of the world is the pyramid
0:13:29 > 0:13:32built for the Pharaoh Khufu, the Great Pyramid of Giza.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34And was Khufu a great geezer?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35I've got no idea.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Anvita, now, has she completed the base layer already?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42She has. She's got the chip bap.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Well, we could be looking at one of the fastest pyramid
0:13:45 > 0:13:46builds in history.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Certainly a great deal faster than the ancient Egyptians who
0:13:49 > 0:13:52took a remarkably long time to build them, didn't they, Rattus?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Anvita's leading the way there, Dave.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Now, Joel unfortunately hasn't put the base in at all.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Yet. But he might be constructing the perfect second layer first.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05We may have a maverick on our hands.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07But Zachary meanwhile has completed his base layer
0:14:07 > 0:14:10but wait a minute, a stroke of genius from Joel.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13He's put his second layer aside and started again.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Now if he can get that base layer in place very quickly,
0:14:16 > 0:14:21he'll just pop on the second layer and be well ahead of the game!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That looks like the right piece to me.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Meanwhile, Anvita is slightly ahead, she completes her second layer.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Zachary not far off on his second layer as well.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Joel now making excellent progress with his third layer.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Really wrestling with these shapes, trying to make the tessellate,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40trying to make them fit in. But hold the phone!
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Anvita's finished her third layer and is moving on to her fourth.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It's going to draw to a close very quickly,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48once you've got the third layer on.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yeah. Yeah you're right. There you go, that's it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Four layers completed, it's just the top piece to go.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57And she pops it on beautifully. She's built the pyramid.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02There's the celebration and doesn't she look delighted?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06In you come then. Come on, well played. Well played everybody.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Well done, Anvita. Wow, that was remarkably close as well!
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Dave, there's been a breakout at the local tarantula farm
0:15:15 > 0:15:19and the studio's been overrun with killer spiders!
0:15:19 > 0:15:25Go on, then Rattus, play your stupid drums.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It's not on my...
0:15:27 > 0:15:29DAVE SCREAMS
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oh, yummy!
0:15:31 > 0:15:35RATTUS CHEWS
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I never eat all the legs. That would just be greedy.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Ugh, right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Round three and it's over to the Gory Grid to find out what's
0:15:45 > 0:15:46up next.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's the Groovy Greeks.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Groovy.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57Hey! Confidence is flowing through Joel at the moment.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Here are your four Greek topics.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So Joel, it's your turn to lead us off.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Can I have Heraclitus please?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11That is a question from Rattus Rattus.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15How did Greek philosopher Heraclitus die? Was he
0:16:15 > 0:16:17A. Eaten by a whale?
0:16:17 > 0:16:21B. Did he bury himself in animal poo?
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Or C. Did he try to fly off a cliff with home-made wings?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Is that A, B or C?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32DOOF DOOF
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Let's see your answers please.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Well, it's the old BBC. What's the answer Rattus?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42The answer is B. He buried himself in animal poo.
0:16:42 > 0:16:48Hahaha! Oh, that is just too funny, ahahaha! Oh!
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Are you all right Rattus?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- I fell off the desk. - He's fine.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Heraclitus had a disease which made him swell up with water.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59He thought the heat from the animal poo would help him sweat it off.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02But instead, it made him die of heat exhaustion.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Hahahaha, poo!
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Well, well played Zachary and Anvita,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09a point apiece to start that round off.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11So Zachary, your turn to pick a topic.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Please may I have medicine?
0:17:13 > 0:17:14You may indeed.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18How did a Skopian doctor priest treat the injured?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20A. They used sacred dogs to lick the wounds?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23B. They treated them with poison frogs?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26C. They kissed them better?
0:17:26 > 0:17:31All terrible options. Obviously, you should really rub poo on the injury.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Obviously not, Rattus.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It's very tricky but is it A, B or C?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Show me your answers please.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Wow, the boys both think it's A, Anvita thinks it's C.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43What's the answer please?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47The answer is A. They used sacred dogs to lick the wounds.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Well, certainly worked for me.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Or not. So a point apiece for the boys then.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And we move on to Anvita, your turn to pick a topic.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Could I pick secret messages please?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04You certainly can. What's the question please?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Histiaeus of Mellitus used a special method
0:18:06 > 0:18:08to send a secret message.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Was the message A. Hidden in the stomachs of pigs?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14B. Tattooed on the head of a slave?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18C. Carried on a flag by a bird?
0:18:18 > 0:18:23If I want to send a secret message to pals, I use rat wee.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Just saying.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Thank you Rattus. So is it A, B or C?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Everybody in total agreement, they've all gone for B.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32What's the answer?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34The answer is B.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36He shaved the head of a trusted slave,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39tattooed a message on and then let the hair grow back.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40Clever.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43So what secret message are you having tattooed Dave?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47It's a secret. That's a point for everybody there.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51The final question in this round is on Diogenes. Let's hear it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Listen carefully.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56The Great Greek Philosopher Diogenes famously lived
0:18:56 > 0:18:58A. Naked in a barrel?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00B. In a dung heap?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04C. Upside down at the top of a tree?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07The great Greek philosopher Diogenes famously lived
0:19:07 > 0:19:10A. Naked in a barrel, B. In a dung heap or
0:19:10 > 0:19:12C. Upside down at the top of a tree?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Show me your answers now please.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16They all think it's something different from each other.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19What's the answer?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23The answer is A. Diogenes lived naked in a barrel.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Congratulations Zachary, an excellent round for you.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30A full house and it means you have won your first Year Sphere.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35OK, Zachary, as the winner you're through to play the Greek Game.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38But will it just be you or will the others get to play too?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Let's find out shall we?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Ooh, it's a Single Player game.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48So Zachary, you're off down the Time Sewer on your own.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Ugh!
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Do you think you've got what it takes to be a Spartan Warrior?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54It's time to play...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59You are a Spartan. You have to sneak up
0:19:59 > 0:20:02and steal the sleeping soldier's lunch without waking him.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Climb through the vines
0:20:03 > 0:20:07but don't touch one or a bell will ring disturbing the soldier.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Disturb him three times and it's game over. Your mission starts now.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13FOGHORN
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Of course, stealing in real life is totally out of order.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Unless, Dave, it's me stealing the show with my awesomeness!
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Zachary has instantly adopted the posture of a worm or a caterpillar.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31And look at that, he's literally face down in the dirt,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34trying to avoid the vines.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Of course you can get involved with the action at home,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39if you download the Gory Games app now!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41It's free!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The soldier there, having a quick cat nap.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Ah dipper-dipper-dack! Did you have to mention cats?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Sorry. Look at that.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Well, I've never seen anyone get through the vines in this way.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56What's he going to do for this second set of vines?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Surely he's going to go upstairs here,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and maybe leap nimbly through one or two of these branches.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03And he has gone for the worm again.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Look at him, Rattus, he seems to have fallen asleep
0:21:07 > 0:21:09with his eyes open.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Maybe he's worked in nap time.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14I mean he's chin down in the dirt here, Rattus.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17One does wonder what on earth he's doing.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20But then he is making painfully slow progress.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's possible Zachary might just be some kind of genius.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Oh a little twitch from the eyebrows, look.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Oh! I think there was a tinkle.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30There was a tinkle there. That's one tinkle.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34He's allowed a maximum of three twinkles and then after that,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36well he's in a whole world of pain.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's decision time again. My money's on the low road.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Look at this technique, you've got to admire his persistence.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49He is moving so slowly, let's hope a passing eagle doesn't
0:21:49 > 0:21:52mistake him for a slug, swoop down and take him.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Because that would be hard to explain to his folks.- It would.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Anyway, he's moving on and he's actually upright, look at that.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01Oh, he's tinkled it!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05But it's the second tinkle, he's got one to spare and he's made it!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Softly, softly, catchy monkey.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Zachary has changed Sneaky Spartans forever.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12What a player. What a man. What a lunch!
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Back you come then, Zachary. Well played indeed!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Help yourself to another Year Sphere. Nice choice, or is it?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We'll find out later.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Well, it's time now for our big All Play endgame.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29So over to the Gory Grid to find out what we've got.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33It's the Vicious Vikings.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35It's the Vicious Vikings,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38so back down that Time Sewer with the lot of you!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Good luck, if we survive! - Bye, Dave!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Bye! - Bye!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Cheers, Zachary. - Ugh, that's disgusting!- Ugh!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Vikings didn't have many supermarkets and corner shops.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53So when they wanted a dozen eggs they had to
0:22:53 > 0:22:55pop down to the cliff. It's time to play...
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Cliffhanger?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02DOOF DOOF
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Not that kind of cliffhanger, Rattus.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Your challenge is to scale down the cliff...
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Slash, run along the inflatable.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Whilst attached to a rope...
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Slash, bungee cord.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13And collect as many sea bird eggs...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Slash, plastic eggs.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18From the nests as possible, and look out for the seagull.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20The first person to collect all of their eggs
0:23:20 > 0:23:22and the seagull wins a Year Sphere.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24In three, two, one.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25FOGHORN
0:23:25 > 0:23:28So there's a heck of a lot of eggs for these Vikings to gather.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30And there's been a bit of a blanket start there
0:23:30 > 0:23:33although Zachary is attempting two eggs at once.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Oh, he's dropped one, but the other one successfully delivered.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Look at that, Joel has picked up two and delivered two.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43We've clearly got some experienced Vikings on our hands here.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46They're grabbing these eggs like absolute pros!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Look at Joel he's flying through this game.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50He's absolutely flying like a seagull.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Anvita's doing very well too.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56She's gone for the double, can she deliver? Up they go.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Yes, she can.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00And don't forget contestants,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03you've got to keep an eye out for the seagull!
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Oh, and right on cue, here they come.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07With sixes across the board,
0:24:07 > 0:24:12it's time for attentions to turn skywards and those pesky seagulls!
0:24:12 > 0:24:14There's Joel having a right pop at his. But he's got it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17He's got the seagull down and he has delivered it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Terrific work from Joel.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Anvita does exactly the same. It's very, very close here!
0:24:23 > 0:24:26It's going to come down to these last eggs.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Joel delivers his ninth.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33He's only got one...Anvita crucially has been beaten back,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35as Joel takes the strain and grabs his final egg.
0:24:35 > 0:24:42He simply places it in the nest. We'll hear the noise of joy.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46And he's died. No, he hasn't. He's celebrating horizontally.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Well played, very good effort. That's it Joel.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Go and get yourself that last Year Sphere, there it is.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Will be it be good? Will be bad? It could be crucial
0:24:53 > 0:24:57because this is one of the closest contests we've ever had.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59OK, time to count up those Year Spheres.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02And remember, AD dates are added to your total
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and BC dates are subtracted from it.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08OK, Zachary, open up that first one please.
0:25:08 > 0:25:121618AD. Walter Raleigh was executed by James VI that year.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16A very good start. Let's have a look at the next one.
0:25:16 > 0:25:203500BC. Oh, what a shame.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23The first pyramids on earth were constructed in Peru,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25round about then.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Don't worry Zachary, it's not all over.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You never know what's in the other spheres.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34Anvita, let's have a look at your first sphere.
0:25:34 > 0:25:381558AD. Queen Elizabeth I ascended to the throne that year.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Let's have a look at that second one Anvita.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Oh, it's a BC. But it's not a disaster, 332BC.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Alexander the Great conquered Egypt that year.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You are still very much in this.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Let's have a look at that third sphere.
0:25:56 > 0:26:03Oh, no, 7500BC. Cats were domesticated around about this time.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06That's no consolation at all is it?
0:26:06 > 0:26:14Anvita you finish with minus 6274 points. Zachary you have minus 1882.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19And that is what Joel has to try and beat.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Let's have a look at that first sphere of yours Joel.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25OK, 1452AD. It's a strong start.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Leonardo Da Vinci was born that year.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Let's have a look at the second sphere.
0:26:30 > 0:26:321837AD. Charles Dickens published
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Oliver Twist that year.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36It's all on the turn of this last one.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Let's have a look at it, Joel.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Oh, it's 1553AD.
