# With Horrible History's Gory Games... # | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Hello, and welcome to Gory Games with me, Dave Lamb. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
And me, Rattus Rattus. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
This is the show where you get to test your knowledge | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
of Horrible Histories, with truly gruesome, gory games. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
Yes, so if you're of a nervous disposition, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
a bit squeamish or easily shocked, then this show is not for you. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
Right, that should got rid of the parents. On with the programme. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
Yes, let's meet today's Horrible Historians. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Hi, I'm Lukas. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
Hi, I'm Zoe. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
Hi, I'm TJ. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
Right, just to get us in the mood, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
I've prepared a little warm-up game from the Georgian era. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-Rattus, tell me this isn't another one of your hare-brained ideas. -No. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
It's a genuine Georgian game | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
from the Highland Games of the 1820s. It's called Twisting the Cow. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
-Twisting the Cow?! -Mm. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
In front of our four players is a cow carcass. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
All they have to do is twist its legs off. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
Er, sorry, our contestants can't do that. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Course they can. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
The cow carcass is really rotten, so the legs will practically drop off. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
No, what I mean is they can't do that because it's disgusting. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Sorry, Big Tony, can you help me get this out of here, please? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
I'm not having this. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
FLESH TEARING | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
-We have a winner! -Ooh. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Right, I'm going to need a new shirt, and when I get back | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
I do not want to see this useless carcass. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Or a dead cow. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:44 | |
Lukas, Zoe and TJ, you are playing to win Year Spheres. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
Each Year Sphere contains a date. At the end of the show, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
your Year Sphere dates will be added up, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
with AD dates being added to your total | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
and BC dates being subtracted from it. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
If these were your Year Spheres, your total would be... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-Rattus? -Er, four? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Oh, dear. It's 735, actually. Did you even go to school? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
I lived in a sewer near a school, if that counts. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-It counts better than you do. -Oi! | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
will win a prize to take home and keep. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
One picked out by my fair paws. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
So it's probably one to take home and throw away. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Right, let's get cracking, and, to find out what this round's about, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
it's over to the Gory Grid. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
It's the Rotten Romans. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
So, four questions on the Rotten Romans coming up. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
The person who gets the most right wins the Year Sphere. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
Your four Roman topics are... | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Lukas, please pick away. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
Er, I pick...Emperors. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
True or false? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Emperor Domitian was so scared of being stabbed in the back, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
he stood with his back against the wall, all day long. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
So, true or false? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
Let's have a look at those answers. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Everybody has gone for true. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Let's find out if you're all right or all wrong. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
It's false. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
But he did have the walls of his palace polished like mirrors, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
so he could see behind him. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
That's no points so far. Plenty of time to catch up. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
-Ever worried someone's after your job? -Not likely. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
They'd have to work with you, Rattus. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-Zoe, it's your turn to pick a topic. -I pick Luck. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
True or false, we Roman ladies believed it was good luck | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
to comb our hair with the spear of a dead gladiator. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
Show me your answers, everyone. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
Everyone's gone for true again. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
They agreed last time and were wrong. And this time? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
It's true. Though it wasn't such good luck for the gladiator. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
No, absolutely not. Excellent. We're all off the mark. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
TJ, it's your turn to pick a topic. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
Executions. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Is this true or false? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Let's have a look at those answers. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
Everybody's gone for true again. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
I can tell you... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
it's true, the wasps would sting him to death. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-Please do not try this at home. -Not even with your PE teacher. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
Not even with him. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
Look at that. Two points apiece with one topic left to go. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
The last topic is Parents, and that is a question from Rattus Rattus. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
If a Roman child angered their father, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
then the father could sell them off as a slave. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
Is that true or false? | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
-Oh! -They've all gone for true. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
Three true answers again. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Rattus, put us out of our misery. Are they right or wrong? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
It's true. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:02 | |
And if they were really angry, the father could have the child executed! | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
So next time you're badly behaved, be glad your parents aren't Roman. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
OK, well, you've drawn, seeing as you've agreed on everything. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
Three points apiece. That means we go to the buzzer tie-breaker. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
First one to buzz in and give me the correct answer wins the Year Sphere. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
Beginning with the letter G, | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
what name was given to specially trained warriors | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
who fought in the Colosseum? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
-TOILET FLUSHING -TJ. -Gladiator. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
Gladiator is absolutely right. TJ, you've won the quiz. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
It's time to choose your Year Sphere from our trolley wally. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
All right, TJ? Pick your Year Sphere. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Nobody knows which one contains which date, but be warned, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
one could be a Stone Age date, worth millions of minus points. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Are you sure that's the one you want? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
-Yeah. -OK, I'm off. Push, push, push... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
So, winning the quiz means that TJ is automatically through to play | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
the Roman game, but will he be alone or will everyone get to play? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
Let's find out. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
It's an All Play Gory Game. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
So that means it's off down the time sewer with the lot of you. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
Go on, TJ, lead the way. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
-See you, Dave. -Bye. See you, Zoe. -Bye. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
-See ya! -See you, Lukas. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
The Roman Empire didn't get so big without the Romans being ruthless. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
It's time to play... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
When attacking an enemy fortress, Roman armies would use catapults | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
to lob in rocks, beehives and - wait for it - | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
the severed heads of any defenders they'd captured. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
Fire as many missiles into your fortress target as possible. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Ready, steady... | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-HORN BLARING -So, it's Savage Siege. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
What they have to do is catapult different objects into the basket. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
-There's a head on the way now. -Oh! TJ's got one in straight away. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
A decapitated head has been flicked into a basket, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
and that's a cause for celebration. | 0:06:58 | 0:06:59 | |
They've got lots of different objects. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
There's Lukas loading a rock. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
A beehive, which he's going to attempt to fling in, TJ. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
That's fallen short, but he's got a head in. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
So he's in the lead by a HEAD, Rattus! | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
-Ha-ha, quite literally, Dave. -Absolutely. By two heads! | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
There's a second head, landing nicely. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
Well, it's an excellent start from TJ. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
It's a decent start from Lukas, he's landed one there in his net. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Here, he lines up a head. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
Oh, that scores two. They're neck and neck, well, head and head. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
Now, Zoe, that's a better effort. She's put that into TJ's basket! | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-Oh no! -Oh, well, that won't count, Rattus, and why should it? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
You know it wasn't him who put it in there. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
And TJ's putting plenty in there himself, isn't he? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
He's forged ahead of Lukas, who's dropped back dramatically. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-TJ's on the point of mastering this, isn't he, Rattus? -He is, Dave. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
The skill to this game appears to me to be your pull on the catapult | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
in relation to the weight of the object being catapulted, | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
with the stones weighing twice as much as the head | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
and the beehive being variable, depending on the number of bees. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Superb analysis, that, Rattus. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
That's years of experience coming from Rattus. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Ooh, one bouncing out from TJ. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
-One miles over the top from Lukas. Extraordinary. -BELL CHIMES | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-There's the bell. -30 second remaining. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
30 seconds, the disembodied voice agrees with me. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Is this the beginning of a comeback for Lukas? There's one for Zoe. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
Finally she lands one, and TJ re-establishes his lead. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Clear blue water for TJ. Another one for TJ. Extraordinary effort! | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
Zoe pops another one in his basket. That won't count either. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
Lukas suddenly finds himself miles behind. TJ, eight points scored now. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
An extraordinary effort. What an aim this man has. Nine stones! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
-Extraordinary scenes here. -HORN BLARING | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
Time's up! | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
-It's all over. -It's all over. -It's all over. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
The savage siege is at an end. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:48 | |
The heads, the rocks and the hives fall silent. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
And TJ is king of catapults. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:53 | |
That was tremendously exciting, but way out in front was TJ. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
Please collect your Year Sphere. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
You were absolutely brilliant at that. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
And, Zoe, TJ was doing well enough on his own without your help. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
What happened there? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:08 | |
I don't know, I think my aim was off. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
And Lukas, you started off with an absolute rocket, didn't you? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
-Yeah, but... -It was good. -It just went wrong. -It went wrong? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
Are you blaming your equipment? | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-Yes. -Good, it's the equipment's fault. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
So, to find out what's next, it's over to the Gory Grid. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
It's the Vile Victorians. Good day! | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
Ah, so four questions again, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:29 | |
and here are your all-important Victorian topics. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-Zoe, it's your turn to pick first this time. -Schools. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
How were you punished in a Victorian school | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
if you left ink blots and finger marks on your work? | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
So, is it A, B or C? Let's have a look at those answers. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
Everybody has gone with A. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
Well, let's find out if they're all right or all wrong. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
The answer is A, you were caned. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
Usually with an especially thin cane, because they hurt more. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
You weren't put to death, even Victorian schools weren't that bad. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
Thankfully, they weren't that bad. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
TJ, it's your turn to pick a topic. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Um... | 0:10:18 | 0:10:19 | |
Gadgets. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
Prop question, prop question! | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
This is a genuine Victorian gadget, | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
but what was it for? Was it... | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
A, a backside protector for schoolboys when they were caned? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
RATTUS CACKLES | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
He loves all that stuff. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Was it B, a belly warmer for coach drivers? | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
RATTUS CACKLES | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Bums and tums, loves them both. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Or was it C, a headache cure? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
So, show me now. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
And at last, they have disagreed on something. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
The actual correct answer is... | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
B. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
It was a belly warmer for coach drivers, | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
so Lukas picks up the point. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
Do you know the best way to keep your belly warm? | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
-What's that? -Plenty of fur. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
Not something we can all do. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:09 | |
Lukas, it's your turn to pick a topic. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-Crimean War. -Crimean War? | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
Rattus, in your own time. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
Which of these items of clothing | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
does not take its name from the Crimean War? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
OK, let's see your answers now, please. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Zoe and TJ agreeing on B, Lukas out on his own again on C. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
Rattus, which is it? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
The answer is... | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
B, the Wellington boot. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
Named after the Duke of Wellington, famous from the Battle of Waterloo. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
And that wasn't part of the Crimean war. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
The cardigan was invented by the Crimean officer Lord Cardigan, | 0:11:54 | 0:11:58 | |
and the balaclava was named after | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
the famous Crimean battle of Balaklava. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
Oh, I've just come over all brainy again! | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
THUD! | 0:12:07 | 0:12:08 | |
At last, a bit of peace and quiet. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-I'm up again! -Couldn't last. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
Never mind. Everyone on two points, excellent. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Last question this round is on Parlour Maids, and here it comes. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
A parlour maid in a posh Victorian house had to work long days, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
but just how long were their days? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
So, a parlour maid had to work very long hours, but just how long? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
Let's see your answers now, please. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
Well, Lukas an Zoe agreeing on C, TJ striking out on his own on B. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
The answer is C. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Maids worked 16 hours a day from 6.30am till 10.30pm. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
But they did get paid nearly £6. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
That's a year, obviously, not per hour. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
I'd have done it for that. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Lukas and Zoe, it's fingers-on-buzzers time, | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
to decide the fate of the Year Sphere. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Beginning with the letter S, what did all children have to attend... | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
SNEEZING | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
-Lukas. -School. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
School is correct. Well done, Lukas. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
You've just won your first Year Sphere. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
As the quiz winner, you're also through to play the Victorian game, | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
but will it be just you or will the others get to play too? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
Let's find out. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
It's a Single Play Brainy Game, so I hope your brain's feeling ready. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
Lukas, get yourself down that Time Sewer. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
LUKAS GRUNTS | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
Isambard Kingdom Brunel - designer, engineer, visionary | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
and rubbish magician. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Yes, back in 1843, one of the Victorian age's greatest minds | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
got a coin stuck in his throat while doing a magic trick. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
He eventually managed to dislodge it using a clever device. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
It's time to play... | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
Your challenge it to work out which cog goes where. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
Once they're in the right place, | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
you can turn the wheel to flip Brunel upside down | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
to dislodge the coin and win your Year Sphere. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
But be quick - you're against the clock, which is starting to tick... | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
now! | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
HORN BLARES | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
So, Lukas is underway on this Barmy Brunel challenge. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
He's got a very small one in his hand. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
Well, that's not going to go in there. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
I can't imagine he'll leave it there. Oh, he left it there. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
I'm not entirely sure he understands the principle of cog mechanisms. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
Yes, I don't think you'll get Brunel moving very far | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
with that tiny little fella lying next to the main crank cog. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
There's Brunel, lying there. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:40 | |
He's not going to be doing anything, I don't think. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
Dave, I have to say, "a technological marvel" | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
is just one of the phrases that does not describe this machine. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
Have to agree with you at the moment. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
Mind you, having said that, once the cogs are in the right place, | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
it definitely does work. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:57 | |
The trouble is, | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
Lukas doesn't seem to understand the basic principles here. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
That's not touching anything. That's not going anywhere. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
It's looking grim for Barmy Brunel. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
Yep. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
No...that's not going to work. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
DAVE CLEARS HIS THROAT | 0:15:13 | 0:15:14 | |
DAVE SIGHS | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
Rattus, pass me that letter. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
Maybe now's a good time to mention, | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
we've had a lovely cake sent in, Rattus, | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
by a Mrs Jones of East Grinstead. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
It's a strawberry cake and we're delighted to receive it, | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
so thank you, Mrs Jones. We'll have that with a cup of tea later. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-Was that the one with blue icing? -It was. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
I just found that a bit odd. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-What do you mean? Have you eaten it? -Mm. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
That's a shame. I was looking forward to that. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
30 seconds remaining. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
So just 30 cake-free seconds remaining now. Thank you, Rattus(!) | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
And it's not happening for poor old Lukas. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
It's very different, though, isn't it, Rattus, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
when you're there, under the lights, the pressure of the moment's on you. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
It's all very well sitting up here and, er...seeing how it works | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-but if you're down there it's a different story. -Quite right, Dave. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
It's just not going to work out for him here, | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-I think he's running out of time now. -Time's up! | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
And he has...run out of time, so poor Barmy Brunel | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
is going to have to choke to death and it's all Lukas's fault. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
Not really. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:18 | |
Welcome back, Lukas. Take your place behind the podium. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
No Year Sphere, I'm afraid. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Brunel designed all sorts of amazing things, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
including what was - at the time - | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
the biggest ship in the entire world, | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
the SS Great Eastern. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
Sadly, when the ship was launched, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
the engine room exploded, killing six people. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
The horror of the explosion gave Brunel heart problems and he died. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
-That's not funny at all! -I know, we should probably move on. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
Over to the Gory Grid to find out who's up next. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
It's the Terrible Tudors. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
Four questions as always and here are your four Tudor topics. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
-TJ, it's your turn to lead off. -Executions. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
Executions. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
How many executions was I responsible for in my lifetime? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
Was it... | 0:17:08 | 0:17:09 | |
It is A, B or C? Show me now. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Interesting. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
The answer is... | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
Which, coincidentally, is roughly my daily intake of calories. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-HE FARTS -Oh. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:31 | |
Revolting. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
So, TJ, what a start. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
1-0 up. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Lukas, it's your turn to pick a topic. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Er, Jobs. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
What did my Groom of the Stool have to do? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
A, look after all my royal furniture? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
B, wipe my bottom? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
Or, C, help me up on to my horse? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
Let's have a look at those answers. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
So Lukas and TJ agreeing on B. Zoe going out on her own with C. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
The answer is B. He had to wipe my bottom. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
Which was a busy job, given how much I like to eat. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
HE FARTS | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
Oh! | 0:18:08 | 0:18:09 | |
It sounds dreadful, but Groom of the Stool was a sought-after position, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
because it meant that you were close to the king. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
But much too close! | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
THEY ALL LAUGH | 0:18:19 | 0:18:20 | |
In many cases, much too close. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
Zoe, pick a topic. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Erm, Cures. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:27 | |
Hope you're feeling brainy. Here's my question... | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
A, swallowing powdered human skull? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
B, licking a live toad? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
Or, C, eating minced rat brains? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Zoe and TJ going for A, Lukas out on his own with C. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:50 | |
The answer is... | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
A, swallowing powdered human skull. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
Hope you got it right! | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
Wow. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
How they worked out that swallowing powdered human skull | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
would make you feel LESS sick, I have no idea. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
OK. TJ has an unassailable lead. He's 3-1-1 up. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
Collect yourself a Year Sphere, TJ. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
So, TJ, you are through to play the Tudor game | 0:19:13 | 0:19:17 | |
but will it be All Play or will it be you playing all on your own? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Let's find out. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
It's an All Play Brainy Game. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Well, it's time for you all to clear off down the Time Sewer. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Lead the way, TJ. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-Bye, Dave. -Bye, TJ. I love the way you say goodbye to me every time. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
-Bye, Dave! -Goodbye, Zoe! | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
Elizabeth I liked to look good. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
Only problem was, she didn't look good. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Her skin had been trashed by smallpox and lead-based make-up, | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
so she preferred to have portraits of her younger self copied | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
rather than have artists paint how she really looked. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
It's time to play... | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
You have to assemble two perfect copies of an Elizabeth portrait. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
The problem is your two puzzles are made from differently shaped pieces. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
Fiendish! | 0:20:06 | 0:20:07 | |
Complete your puzzles quicker than the others to win the Year Sphere. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
In 3...2...1... | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
HORN BLARES | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
And they're off. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
They've got to build two identical portraits of Queen Elizabeth here | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
but the pieces for the two pictures are cut in different ways, | 0:20:23 | 0:20:28 | |
so it's a real problem for the mind, this one. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
A real problem for the mind. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Zoe making an easy start. Lovely. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
It's a considered start there, Dave, isn't it? | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
It really is. It really is. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
TJ there has a first piece in place. It's a big piece. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
He's gone for the centre of the picture, her fizzog. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
It's a lovely technique, that, to get those big pieces down early. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
I have to say, Zoe seems to be doing extraordinarily well, Rattus. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:56 | |
She is, she's storming ahead here. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Come on, boys! | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
I could've painted a portrait quicker than this! | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
Granted, it would have been a bit rubbish. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
Come on, Zoe. Come on, Zoe! | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
She's doing extremely well here. Look at this. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
I can see the queen's head twice, there, and I haven't been drinking. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
That is a tremendous effort. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
Look at this, she's absolutely steaming along here. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
Come on, Zoe! | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
I don't think the boys have actually seen how fast Zoe's doing here. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
They're almost napping! | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
Yeah, I can see an awful lot of empty, yellow space there | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
and quite a lot of green space as well, whereas Zoe is there. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
She's actually done it! | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
Well, congratulations, Zoe. That is fantastic. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
Welcome back. Zoe, collect your Year Sphere. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
-I hope it's a good one! -I'm not very good at puzzles. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Not bad at mazes though, from my years as a lab rat, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
when they tested intelligence-improving drugs on me. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-The drugs didn't work, then? -No. -No. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Time for the final round. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
It's the Vicious Vikings. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
No quiz in our final round, | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
it's straight to our big All Play Viking Endgame. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
And it's a scary one! | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Everyone, get back down that Time Sewer, now! | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-Bye, Dave! -Bye, TJ! | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
-Bye, Dave! -Bye! | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
It's 793 AD and the peaceful tranquillity | 0:22:23 | 0:22:28 | |
of the island monastery of Lindisfarne | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
is about to come to an end. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:31 | |
And how! It's time to play... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
You are defenceless monks. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
Your only hope of survival is the Vikings won't find you. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
Every time you step on a sinking, squeaking wooden panel, | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
you'll be sent back to the start. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
Reach the end of the path and you're faced with two doors. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:51 | |
Behind one is freedom. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
Behind the other is... | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
Hrrargh! | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
..a Viking. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:56 | |
Find him and you have to start all over again. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
First person to escape wins the Year Sphere. Ready... | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
steady... | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
HORN BLARES | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
So here we go then, with Viking Attack. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
And they all got it wrong straight away. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Extremely wrong, there. Everyone back to the start! | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Completely wrong-footed themselves, literally. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
They literally did exactly that. Look at that monk in the background. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Oh, ho! He was sinister. They're not sinister, though, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
they're peace-loving people. I don't know why we fear them. There's one! | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
Anyway, back to the game. It's a very, very cagey game, this. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:30 | |
I've not seen anyone patent the "dab" technique yet, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
which I think we'd have to outlaw, where you dab your foot down | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
at the panel that's in front of you, just to see if it's going to move. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Sensibly, they haven't tried that. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
But look at Lukas, he seems to be doing well here. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
He's made it well over halfway already. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
There he is... Oh! You see it go down there. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
That's what happens - | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
the panel depresses, it gives a squeak and you're back to the start. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
PANEL SQUEAKS | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
This is squeakier than the Bi-annual Mouse Gorgonzola Cheese Festival! | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
And that was squeaky. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:03 | |
It's an absolute squeak-fest, that event. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
I've been to it many times. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
I think one of the difficulties with this game, Dave, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
is you hear the other boards squeaking as well as your own, | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
which makes it quite tricky. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:15 | |
The giveaway is your foot will sink down if it's you. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
-That's absolutely right. -So...Lukas is back up there. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
I think he's going all the way here. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
I don't want to get overexcited but one more step and he's done it. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
-Come on! -It's a solid step! Now, he's got the 50-50 choice. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
Is it freedom or is it miserable death? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
-It's freedom! -Freedom! | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
And there's the dance. And why wouldn't he dance? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
He's just had his life saved! | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
Welcome back. Lukas, help yourself to a Year Sphere. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:45 | |
Time to count up those Year Spheres, and remember, | 0:24:45 | 0:24:48 | |
AD years are added to your total and BC years are subtracted from it. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:54 | |
So despite the fact that there's an imbalance in Sphere numbers, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
anyone can still win at this stage. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
Lukas, we'll start with you. Show me your first Sphere, please. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
1918 AD. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
The end of the First World War. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
Let's have a look at your second one. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
1805 AD. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
The Battle of Trafalgar was that year. That's a total of 3,723. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
That is an excellent target. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Now, Zoe, seeing as we're only up to the year 2011, | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
this could be a problem for you. Let's look at what you've got. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
Oh, it was 1788 AD, the first European settlement in Australia. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:35 | |
TJ, it's all down to you. 3,723 to beat. Can you do it? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:40 | |
Let's have a look at your first Sphere. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
1199 AD, the death of Richard the Lionheart. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:48 | |
You're up and running. Let's look at the second. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
1415 AD. Henry V beat the French at Agincourt. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:56 | |
You need 1,110 to win. | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
Let's have a look at that final Sphere. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
1840 AD! | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
Queen Victoria married Prince Albert. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
And that means that today's winner, with 4,454 points, is TJ, | 0:26:08 | 0:26:13 | |
who gets to take home the incredibly rare star prize. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
"Incredibly rare" in that it's incredibly hard to find prizes | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
as bad as the ones Rattus comes up with. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
Come on, Rattus, what's today's epic disappointment? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
Well, for your information, this prize is actually a beautiful ring, | 0:26:26 | 0:26:31 | |
dating back to the 17th Century. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
-That actually does sound pretty good. -Unfortunately... | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
this ring belonged to a victim of the famous pirate Blackbeard | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
and as the ring didn't slip easily off the finger, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
Blackbeard did what any self-respecting pirate would do. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
He cut the whole finger off! | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
RATTUS CACKLES | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
-Rattus, you have surpassed yourself. -Ooh, thank you! | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
Not a compliment. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:57 | |
-Well, congratulations to TJ! -Yes. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
There you go, TJ. Congratulations. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
You may want to put it somewhere you can't see it. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
Well, it just remains for me to say thanks to our champion, TJ, | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
and thanks also to our gallant runners-up, Zoe and Lukas. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:14 | |
And no thanks whatsoever to Rattus. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
Your growing frustration is thanks enough, Dave. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:20 | |
