0:00:24 > 0:00:26Welcome to Gory Games.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28I'm Rattus Rattus.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31- And I'm... - And he's my nephew, Nibbles.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Excuse me?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Mm, Nibbles here is doing work experience so I thought

0:00:35 > 0:00:39he should start with a simple job that any old idiot could do.

0:00:39 > 0:00:40Yours, Dave.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41I don't think so.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Oh, but he's so cute.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45I suppose he is quite cute.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49Oh, yes. Nibbles says, "Let's meet today's Horrible Historians."

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Ooh, he's very good, isn't he, Dave?

0:00:51 > 0:00:52He's all right.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hi. I'm Sam and I'm from Northern Ireland.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Nibbles says, "Hi, Sam."

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hi, I'm Ellie and I'm from Bristol.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Nibbles says, "Hi, Ellie."

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Hi, I'm Will and I'm from Northern Wales.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Nibbles says, "Hi, Will."

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Oh, crikey, we haven't got all day.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16Can't he just start by getting my quiz questions or something?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Oh, all right. Off you go, Nibbles.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19NIBBLES SQUEAKS

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Bye, Nibbles.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Sorry about that. You are playing to win Year Spheres.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27The person with the highest year score at the end will win

0:01:27 > 0:01:31a putrid prize plucked from the Time Sewer by uncle Rattus Rattus.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Don't forget you can play at home and win Year Spheres of your own.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41That's right, just download the Gory Games app from the CBBC website.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Nibbles thinks it's brilliant.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45We don't really care what Nibbles thinks.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47So, what's our first round all about?

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Let's go over to the Gory Grid.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53It's the Vile Victorians. Good day.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56So, four questions then on the Vile...

0:01:58 > 0:02:00What the...? Nibbles!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Well, what can I say? The clue's in his name.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Nibbles, go and do something idiot-proof,

0:02:05 > 0:02:07like make a cup of tea, please.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09What a tiny menace.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Right, four questions then on the Vile Victorians.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18And your four Victorian topics are...

0:02:23 > 0:02:26Will, you get to pick first in this round. What will it be?

0:02:26 > 0:02:27Cures, please.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30That is a question from Rattus Rattus.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Which of these was a Victorian cure for a cold?

0:02:34 > 0:02:39Was it A, wearing gloves made of cabbage,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42B, soaking your feet in hot water with mustard

0:02:42 > 0:02:46or C, rubbing your face with jam?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49All spectacularly silly options, if I may say so.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Was it A, wearing gloves made of cabbage,

0:02:51 > 0:02:54B, soaking your feet in hot water with mustard

0:02:54 > 0:02:58or C, rubbing your face with jam? Show me your answers now, please.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Well, everybody's gone for B, Rattus.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02What's the answer?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04The answer is B.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07People would soak their feet in hot water with mustard, which is

0:03:07 > 0:03:10also how to make a delicious cheesy mustard drink.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Yum.- Well, that's a point each, very well done.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15We're off and running, excellent stuff.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Ellie, it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Can I have inventors, please?

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Of course you can.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25Charles Babbage invented the first-ever computer machine,

0:03:25 > 0:03:27but what did he also invent?

0:03:27 > 0:03:31A, a flying bicycle, B, a self heating hat

0:03:31 > 0:03:34or C, shoes for walking on water?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36The answer is...

0:03:37 > 0:03:38- One of those three. - Thanks.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40He's so helpful, isn't he, that Rattus?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Yeah.- Well, it's very tricky but is it A, B or C?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Show me your answers now, please.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Wow, Will's gone for B, Ellie and Sam have agreed on C.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52What's the answer, please?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54The answer is C.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Charles Babbage also invented shoes for walking on water.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01But they didn't work very well and he nearly drowned testing them.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Yes, but to be fair to him,

0:04:02 > 0:04:05his computer thing seems to have done all right.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10So that's a point apiece there for Ellie and for Sam.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Two topics left to choose from, what you having?

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Could I have coffee, please?

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Let's hear that question.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17The question is...

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Here's a clue. It's not D.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36That's another helpful clue from Rattus.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38So was it A, powdered horse liver,

0:04:38 > 0:04:40B, powdered beetles or C, soot?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Let's have those answers.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Ellie, you're on your own with A. What's the answer, please?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Very good, well done, Ellie. That means you're in the lead.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55The final question is on matches and this is what it is.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00In Victorian times, girls who worked in match factories had to

0:05:00 > 0:05:03work with a dangerous chemical called phosphorous.

0:05:03 > 0:05:04What did it do to the body?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Did it A, turn your toes orange, B, rot away your jaw

0:05:15 > 0:05:17or C, make your eyes fall out?

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Show me your answers, please.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Will and Sam have agreed again, Ellie out on her own with B.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24What's the answer please?

0:05:24 > 0:05:25The answer is B.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28The condition was known as Phossy Jaw

0:05:28 > 0:05:31and it made you stink really badly.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34I mean, even worse than normal.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Ellie, fantastic play, that's a full house for you,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41and it means that you have won the first Year Sphere.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45And that in turn means it's time for me to say...

0:05:45 > 0:05:50ALL HAIL THE POTTY PYRAMID.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55And choose carefully because AD dates will be added

0:05:55 > 0:06:01to your total score but BC dates will be subtracted.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05I wonder what's inside that, we'll find out later.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Now, winning the Victorian quiz means Ellie is automatically

0:06:07 > 0:06:10through to play the Victorian game.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13But will she be playing alone or will the others get to play too?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Let's find out.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's a single player scary game,

0:06:21 > 0:06:23so Ellie, off you go down that Time Sewer.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25It stinks in here.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Certainly does.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31During the Industrial Revolution, poor children had to

0:06:31 > 0:06:34work in factories where horrible accidents were commonplace.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35It's time to play...

0:06:37 > 0:06:38Your gruesome challenge

0:06:38 > 0:06:41is to make your way through the factory machinery,

0:06:41 > 0:06:43finding the lost four fingers.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Get back through the machinery and return those fingers to the hand.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Do it within the time limit to win the Year Sphere.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Your time starts now.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53HORN BLOWS

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Now, Ellie slides through the mangle

0:06:55 > 0:06:57and literally goes headfirst into the factory.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00What's she going to do here? She's got to unscrew that nut

0:07:00 > 0:07:02and then pull the...She's given up!

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I don't blame her, Dave.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Well, I mean it was a bit tricky so she thought "I know, I'll give up."

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I like the way she's doing this, Ratters.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13And down, down plunges the finger, is that far enough?

0:07:13 > 0:07:17No, I don't think she can quite reach it, Rattus.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20She's recovered, that could have been a setback, and what's this?

0:07:20 > 0:07:25She's taking the first finger back now, this is a new tactic.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Ellie is ploughing through things now,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29she's spinning the...spinny thing.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Yes, she's just got to keep her focus here

0:07:32 > 0:07:35because in comes the mean factory owner.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Work harder!

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Oh, that is a disgrace, poking, shouting at her,

0:07:41 > 0:07:42that must have been off-putting.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Pretty much any day at the BBC, Dave.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Yes, but I'll tell you what, Rattus, she kept her focus.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49She barely looked up from her work.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Oh, she's got it! - The second finger's free.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Back through the funny little loom. And the finger goes on, I think

0:07:55 > 0:07:58both of those fingers are the wrong way round actually, Rattus.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00I'm just going to check my own hand.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Yes, definitely the wrong way round, I think.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05But she's got the third finger, that was very quick.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09This is the only finger left now,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11the original finger that she left behind.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Is she going to run out of time here, Rattus?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15It's the final finger, Dave.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19This is the one that counts, this will make a fist of it,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21this will give it the full handful.

0:08:21 > 0:08:2330 seconds remaining.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's upright, that's the angle it wants to finish at,

0:08:25 > 0:08:28it's just got to come down a couple more and she's clear.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31There's another one, she's just chucking bolts around there.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33The factory's getting messy, oh, hang on.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's jammed, it's jammed!

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Oh, there's a finger jammed in the machinery

0:08:37 > 0:08:38and that's what this game's all about.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41And on it goes, that one's definitely the right way around.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Back through the rollers. - Through the mangle she goes.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Ellie has completed the task and there's the celebration,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51the Running Man with a double pot stir.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Ellie, excellent work.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Very good, round of applause from Sam as you come on there,

0:08:56 > 0:08:58and Will, lovely.

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Pick a Year Sphere.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Will it be good, will it be bad? We'll only find out at the end.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09Excellent work. Now, Rattus, where's that nephew of yours with my tea?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'm sure he's on his way.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14On to Round Two. Over to the Gory Grid.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's the Measly Middle Ages.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Right. Four questions again

0:09:20 > 0:09:23and here are your all-important Middle Ages topics.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32So, Ellie, it's your turn to pick first.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Can I have food please?

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Food, that is a question from Rattus Rattus.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- It certainly is.- There you go.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42During the food shortages at the Siege of Acre,

0:09:42 > 0:09:46what was not cooked and eaten by the starving population?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Which did they not eat?

0:09:59 > 0:10:04Wheat from poo, flesh from the enemy dead or tails from rats?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Let's see your answers now, please.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11They've all gone for C, are they all right or are they all wrong, Rattus?

0:10:11 > 0:10:17The answer is indeed C. Nobody ate rat tails and I should hope not too.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20A point apiece. Well done, everybody. We're off the mark.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Ellie, I don't want to put pressure on you

0:10:22 > 0:10:24but the perfect game is still on.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27OK, Sam. What's your choice, please?

0:10:27 > 0:10:28Could I have war, please?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30You certainly could, let's hear that question.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35In 1313, what did two Italian cities go to war over?

0:10:42 > 0:10:46So, three very stupid reasons to go to war. But which was the real one?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Let's see those answers.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Total disagreement. Which of you is going to be right?

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Let's find out the answer.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54The answer is A.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57The cities of Medina and Bologna went to war after some

0:10:57 > 0:11:00soldiers from Medina stole a ceremonial bucket.

0:11:00 > 0:11:01Naughty soldiers.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Ellie, it's still on. Look at that, the perfect game.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07I'm getting excited, it's far too early to be talking in these terms.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Will, what are you having?

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Will the first.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Now, that is a prop question.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15BOTH: Prop question, prop question, prop question!

0:11:15 > 0:11:17And this is the prop.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20William the Conqueror was crowned King of England on Christmas Day,

0:11:20 > 0:11:22but what happened at the coronation?

0:11:31 > 0:11:33So, what do you think?

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Is it A, B or C? Let's see those answers, please.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40BBC is what we have there.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43I can tell you that the answer is...

0:11:43 > 0:11:44B!

0:11:44 > 0:11:46When the crowd cheered,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49William the Conqueror's Norman guards thought the English were

0:11:49 > 0:11:52starting a riot, so they attacked them and set fire to the church.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53It ended in chaos.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Ellie and Will got that one right,

0:11:55 > 0:11:57which means Ellie's still on for the perfect game.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Let's not get excited about it, it might not happen.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04OK, the final question in this round is on Richard the Lionheart.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05This is what it is.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Richard the Lionheart died in France while besieging a castle.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10He was killed by a crossbow bolt,

0:12:10 > 0:12:13but what was distracting him at the time?

0:12:13 > 0:12:17A, an enemy soldier hitting away arrows with a frying pan,

0:12:17 > 0:12:20B, a jester juggling axes whilst wearing a blindfold,

0:12:20 > 0:12:25or C, a cow wearing a helmet being fired out of a catapult?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28They all sound ridiculous to me, but one of them's true.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Do you think it's A, B or C? Let's see those answers, please.

0:12:33 > 0:12:38Ellie, you are on your own with A. What's the answer, please?

0:12:38 > 0:12:39The answer is A.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Richard the Lionheart was laughing at an enemy soldier who was

0:12:42 > 0:12:45smashing away incoming arrows with a frying pan.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47You couldn't make it up.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Unbelievable scenes here in the Quiz Dome.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Ellie has got a 100% record after two rounds.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Help yourself to another Year Sphere.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Well played, indeed. I have to say, Ratters, I am parched.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07How long does it take to make a cup of tea?

0:13:07 > 0:13:09He's only got little paws.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12He's only got a little brain.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15OK, Ellie, you are through to play the Middle Ages game,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18but will it just be you or will the others get to play too?

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Sam's crossing everything, let's find out.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28It's an all play silly game! It worked.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30It smells in here so bad.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32It really does.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35How long has this stuff been down here?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Centuries, millennia, eons.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Training to become a knight took 14 years,

0:13:40 > 0:13:42but you lot have only got a couple of minutes.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43It's time to play...

0:13:45 > 0:13:49Knights used to practise their jousting by running the rings.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53You must ride up and down your lane, hooking one ring at a time

0:13:53 > 0:13:54and bringing it back to your basket.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57The first to collect five rings wins the Year Sphere.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58Are you ready?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00In three, two, one...

0:14:00 > 0:14:02FOGHORN

0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Do you get on well with horses? - I like their poop, Dave.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Yes, anything else about them or is it just the poo?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Just the poo.- Yeah.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I think we should probably have a look at the game, Rattus.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14They've all managed to get a ring very quickly

0:14:14 > 0:14:16and they're coming back down the lane.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Don't forget you can join in at home, of course,

0:14:18 > 0:14:20by downloading the Gory Games app.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23And I have to say this is going to be a very close one to call, all

0:14:23 > 0:14:26three of them looking comfortable with some excellent polework.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29They've all safely delivered their first ring there.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Remember, they need five to win the game.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34And Ellie is moving ominously through this field

0:14:34 > 0:14:36followed quickly by Sam.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Will had a little bit of trouble there, took an early lead

0:14:39 > 0:14:41and now seems to have fallen back a little bit.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44So let's see if Ellie and Sam can deliver these rings successfully.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Ellie gets it in the basket and so does Sam, yes.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51These horses perform differently on different days,

0:14:51 > 0:14:54it depends what mood they're in when they wake up, doesn't it?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57It's not about poo, he's not interested. Here comes Will.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59He's looking to equalise with this ring here,

0:14:59 > 0:15:01can he get it in the basket?

0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Oh! Did you see that, Rattus? - Ring on the floor.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07That was a ring on the floor from Will, that could really cost him.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10That really could be crucial cos Ellie, I think, has three now

0:15:10 > 0:15:13and so does Sam.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15This game is starting to get really exciting.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19Ellie's picked up another ring. And Sam has just missed one there.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Well, he really needs to try and keep up with Ellie here.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26And here comes Will, charging down his lane with a ring.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Will he get it in the basket this time?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Oh, he's flicked it out again!

0:15:30 > 0:15:34That kind of pole skill is not going to help in a joust.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Here comes Sam, that's teetering on the edge but it does count.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40That's four apiece for Sam and Ellie.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43This is Ellie's last ring,

0:15:43 > 0:15:46she's coming down that track triumphantly here.

0:15:46 > 0:15:51This is just the formality now of popping that...What?!

0:15:51 > 0:15:53- It's on the floor. - What just happened, Rattus?

0:15:53 > 0:15:55It's fallen out of the basket, Dave.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, she's going to have to get a sixth ring.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Now has she got time or is Sam going to be hot on her heels?

0:16:01 > 0:16:05Sam's got his last ring. Ellie still needs to get hers on her lance.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Remember, it's the first to five rings.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10She cannot afford another basket slip-up, because here comes Sam.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14This is close, is it going to stay in this time?

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, it's there.

0:16:16 > 0:16:19And Ellie has won by the smallest of margins.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22She may be thrilled but she's got her legs on backwards.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Ellie, help yourself again.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Crikey, well played.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well played, everyone.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Ellie, that was a jousting masterclass.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Ah, at last, Nibbles. My tea.

0:16:39 > 0:16:44Oh! Good grief, Nibbles, what do you call this?

0:16:44 > 0:16:45NIBBLES SQUEAKS

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Ooh, he's not going to like that. It's wee, Dave.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52No wonder it took him so long, he's only got a tiny bladder.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54You need to see a vet, my friend.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Well done, Nibbles. Off you pop. - Right.

0:16:56 > 0:17:01Round Three and it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03It's the Rotten Romans.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Here are your four Roman topics.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14So, Sam, it's your turn to lead us off. What are you going to go for?

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Could I have armies please?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Armies. Yes, you can. Let's hear that question.

0:17:19 > 0:17:24True or false. It was every Roman man's dream to fight in the army.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28It was every Roman man's dream to fight in the army.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32Is that true or is that false? Show me now.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33What's the answer?

0:17:33 > 0:17:34It's false.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Men were known to cut off their thumbs to avoid joining

0:17:37 > 0:17:40the army as it made it impossible to hold a sword.

0:17:40 > 0:17:45Will and Sam, well played, sirs. You are in the lead.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48And Will, it's up to you to choose a category, please.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49Emperors, please.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Emperors it is, that is a prop question.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Prop question, prop question.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55A hunk of meat.

0:17:55 > 0:18:01True or false, Emperor Maximinus banned the eating of meat in Rome.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02Is that true or false?

0:18:03 > 0:18:06They've all gone for false.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08And I can tell you the answer is...

0:18:09 > 0:18:12..false! Yes, it's false.

0:18:12 > 0:18:18Maximinus loved eating meat, in fact he ate 20kg of meat per day.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Day?!

0:18:19 > 0:18:22That is a point for everybody.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Everybody very much still in this round. Two categories left, Ellie.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Which of these are you going to go for?

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Um, soap.

0:18:29 > 0:18:30Soap, let's hear that question.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34True or false. Romans didn't use soap.

0:18:34 > 0:18:39So, Romans didn't use soap, is that true or is that false?

0:18:39 > 0:18:43Will and Ellie think it's true, Sam thinks it's false.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45What's the answer, please?

0:18:45 > 0:18:47It's true. Romans didn't use soap.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50We cleaned ourselves with olive oil which we'd scrape off with

0:18:50 > 0:18:53a metal tool called a strigil.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Bad luck, Sam, bad luck.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Will and Ellie, look at this, it's close.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01You're all still in it, there's one question left in this round,

0:19:01 > 0:19:03it is on Nero and this is what it is.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05True or false.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Emperor Nero liked to perform poetry, and if his audience

0:19:08 > 0:19:12did not applaud loudly enough, he'd have them executed.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Is that true or is that false?

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Everybody has gone for true.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20What's the answer?

0:19:20 > 0:19:21It's true.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24Nero's poetry was so bad, some people pretended to be dead just

0:19:24 > 0:19:26so they didn't have to listen to it.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28So, everybody gets that one right.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30And it means that at the end of that round,

0:19:30 > 0:19:34with a perfect score for himself, Will claims the Year Sphere.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Finally.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Finally, off he goes.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43I got a Year Sphere.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45We'll find out what's in there later.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Don't worry, Sam, still Year Spheres to play for for you.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Will, as the winner, you are through to play our Roman game,

0:19:52 > 0:19:55but will it be just you or is everybody coming along?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Let's find out.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's a single player silly game.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05So, off down the Time Sewer with you.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Oh, gosh, I will never get used to the smell.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15It's 31BC and Roman civil war.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18Octavian and Marc Antony are fighting for control

0:20:18 > 0:20:20of the mighty Roman Empire.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21It's time to play...

0:20:24 > 0:20:25You're about to make history

0:20:25 > 0:20:28and defeat Marc Antony's fleet with your catapult

0:20:28 > 0:20:30as part of Octavian's mighty navy.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Load, aim and destroy your enemy.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35There's one point for every ship you sink and two points

0:20:35 > 0:20:37if you hit Marc Antony's blue ship.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41Score six points in the time limit to win your Year Sphere.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Battle begins now.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46FOGHORN

0:20:46 > 0:20:49And off he goes, there he goes, he sets his first shot.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51I like his style, Rattus, already.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Will looks like he means business.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Wallop, well, he's struck the sea firmly there

0:20:56 > 0:20:57but that's not going to count.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00You get nothing for hitting the sea.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03And don't forget there's double points for Marc Antony's ship,

0:21:03 > 0:21:05which is the one with the blue sails.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07So that's what he's really looking for here.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Oh, he's got one, he's got one!- Ohhh.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14That is one ship, it wasn't Marc Antony's but it's a start.

0:21:14 > 0:21:1630 seconds remaining.

0:21:16 > 0:21:21- Oh!- Oh, Marc Antony! That was Antony and now here's Roger the seagull.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24We don't like Roger, do we? He really is a nasty piece of work.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26But Will hasn't been put off by him,

0:21:26 > 0:21:29he's maintaining a very nice rhythm here.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Can he do it in the remaining time? Ohhh!

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Will having a word with himself there,

0:21:34 > 0:21:36he only needs one more to win.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38- He's got to be quick. - Yes!

0:21:38 > 0:21:40And the fist pump goes up in the air,

0:21:40 > 0:21:42and look at that celebration dance.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Oh, he's fallen in the sea.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46A bit of hula and then threw himself overboard.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Come on then, Will. Back you come.

0:21:49 > 0:21:55The conquering hero, well played. Very impressive, pick a Year Sphere.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Can I have it?

0:21:56 > 0:21:57THEY LAUGH

0:21:57 > 0:22:00There's still time, Sam, there's still time.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Well played, Will, that was excellent.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04I just waited for loads of red ones to go past

0:22:04 > 0:22:05and that blue one came.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Terrific work. Oh, joy. Nibbles is back.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10What's that?

0:22:10 > 0:22:12Oh, he says he knows which job he wants to do now.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15What job is that, Nibbles?

0:22:15 > 0:22:16My job?!

0:22:16 > 0:22:20A rodent host who you can't hear, I like the sound of that.

0:22:20 > 0:22:21HE SPITS

0:22:21 > 0:22:23RATTUS LAUGHS

0:22:25 > 0:22:27It's time for our big all play endgame.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, over to the Gory Grid to find out what we've got.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34It's the Slimy Stuarts.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38Everybody get back down that Time Sewer, come on.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yes, woohoo.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46It started in a baker's shop, but are we all going to be toast?

0:22:46 > 0:22:47It's time to play...

0:22:49 > 0:22:55The date is 1666 and you are helping to fight the Great Fire of London.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56You must collect water in your bucket,

0:22:56 > 0:23:00carry it along your lane and chuck it on to the fire.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Whoever gets the most water on the fire in the time limit wins

0:23:03 > 0:23:06the Year Sphere. And your time starts now.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08FOGHORN

0:23:08 > 0:23:12So, here we go then, London's Burning,

0:23:12 > 0:23:16can these three plucky firemen and firewomen put it out?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Well, Sam's fallen over already so maybe not.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22- You've got to scoop up the water... - Scoop up the water.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Then you've got to run the length of this sort of old-fashioned

0:23:26 > 0:23:29street and then you've got to chuck the water on to the flames,

0:23:29 > 0:23:35- which Will is going to try and do now.- Ohh!- Oh, that was close.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Sam, oh, he's missed as well. And, oh, dear. Now then, Ellie.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42Yep, they've not made any impression on that fire as yet, Rattus.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43None whatsoever.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Oh, that was a lovely little jump though, wasn't it?

0:23:45 > 0:23:46She came flying over that.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Now, Will. He's first, he's in the lead here slightly.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Oh, and he's over. - Yeah, he's over.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54And when those lanes get slippy, Rattus,

0:23:54 > 0:23:57they really become virtually impassable, don't they?

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Right, let's see what they can do here.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01Any takers for firemanship?

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Yes, boom, look at that. Sam scored very well there, I feel.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Oh, oopsy, Will's down.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11The lanes are starting to slip up a bit, Rattus, as we said.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14But he's not letting that put him off, Sam's dry as a bone.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19- Dave, this game reminds me, I think I left the gas on.- Really?

0:24:19 > 0:24:20RATTUS FARTS

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Oh, Rattus, that stinks!

0:24:24 > 0:24:26And that gas really isn't going to help with the blazing fire

0:24:26 > 0:24:28that our contestants are dealing with.

0:24:28 > 0:24:3130 seconds remaining.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Will now stepping it up a gear, bounding down his lane,

0:24:34 > 0:24:38they're really starting to feel that heat now, Rattus.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Do you think any of these would make proper firemen?

0:24:41 > 0:24:42All hopeless, Dave.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Well, that's quite a brutal assessment from Rattus there,

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I wouldn't have gone that far myself.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Especially as Sam is now hurtling back towards the burning

0:24:50 > 0:24:52building, eager to make these last few seconds count.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Oh!- Oh! Well, we've not seen that,

0:24:55 > 0:24:58and he looks a little bit gobsmacked by what's happened there.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02It doesn't matter though, because I think he's done enough to win it.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04He will have to pay for that bucket though.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Back you come, back you come, back you come, back you come.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Well, that was a close-run thing. Sam, how did you find it?

0:25:10 > 0:25:12I threw the bucket.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Yes, I noticed that. The entire bucket went into the house window.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21OK, well, I can tell you that the winner of our final game is...

0:25:21 > 0:25:26Sam. Bucket and all. Help yourself to a Year Sphere, Sam.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Well done, fella. OK, there we go.

0:25:32 > 0:25:34Time to count up those Year Spheres then and remember,

0:25:34 > 0:25:40AD years are added to your total and BC years are subtracted from it.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43And we're going to start with you, Will.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Open up that first one for me. 1661 AD.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Charles II was crowned King of England

0:25:51 > 0:25:53and Scotland that year, it's a great start.

0:25:53 > 0:25:54Open your second sphere.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02Oh, 2000 BC. Oh, Will. Stonehenge was completed around then.

0:26:02 > 0:26:07Will, you have a total of -339.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Still, who knows, it could be enough.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14That's what you've got to beat, Ellie, let's open up that first one.

0:26:15 > 0:26:181799AD, the death of George Washington that year.

0:26:18 > 0:26:23The USA president, of course. Let's have a look at the second one.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26Ooh, 287BC.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Archimedes was born that year and that takes you back a little

0:26:29 > 0:26:31way, but you've got two more to come.

0:26:31 > 0:26:361991AD, crikey, the fall of the Soviet Union.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39End of the Cold War, and the last one.

0:26:40 > 0:26:471885AD. Carl Benz developed the first petrol-driven car that year.

0:26:47 > 0:26:51That gives you 5,388.

0:26:51 > 0:26:56Now, Sam, you need 5,389.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58So you're going to need a date in the future.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Let's have a look at that Year Sphere.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Oh, it's 68AD. Emperor Nero died that year.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Congratulations, Ellie,

0:27:07 > 0:27:14because with a total of 5,388 points, you are today's winner.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18As always, the prize is something hideous dredged

0:27:18 > 0:27:20up from the Time Sewer.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24It's a lovely set of Georgian false teeth.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26To be fair, they do look surprisingly realistic.

0:27:26 > 0:27:30That's because these falsies are made from the teeth of dead

0:27:30 > 0:27:32soldiers at Waterloo.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Ellie, I can only share your disappointment.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Here you go, thank you for playing, I do apologise.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39And bad luck, Sam and Will.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I'm afraid it's time for you two to take a trip home

0:27:42 > 0:27:43through the Time Sewer.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47I like gunge, so that's all right.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48Oh, you'll love this.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53And don't forget, you can play along next time

0:27:53 > 0:27:57if you download the Gory Games app from the CBBC website.
