0:00:02 > 0:00:05# If mummies, rats and fleas ain't your thing
0:00:05 > 0:00:08# And you don't like the sound of an exploding king
0:00:08 > 0:00:10# If you're easily scared and don't laugh at poo
0:00:10 > 0:00:13# You'd better turn off This show ain't for you
0:00:13 > 0:00:17# Still watching Then let's test your brains
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# With Horrible History's Gory Games
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# Horrible History's Gory
0:00:23 > 0:00:24# Games. #
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to Gory Games, with me, Dave Lamb.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30And me, Rattus Rattus. Can I come out now?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Are you going to behave yourself?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Yes.- Promise?- Promise.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38All right, then.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40I'm sorry we had to do that.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43This is the show where you get to test your knowledge
0:00:43 > 0:00:46of Horrible Histories with quirky quiz questions and gory games.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50So without further ado, let's meet today's horrible historians.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51I'm Kelly.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52I'm Jonah.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56- And I'm Zofia! - Hello! Welcome, one and all.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59To get things going this week, I've come up with...
0:00:59 > 0:01:02No! Sorry, sorry. You always do this.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05You come up with some awful warm-up game that gets me
0:01:05 > 0:01:07into trouble with the BBC. Well, not today.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- I was only going to suggest football. - Football? Just football?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Well, Tudor football. I mean it's got to be historical, obviously.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- OK.- Granted, it is played with an inflated pig's bladder,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20but other than that, it's just football.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23There's nothing wrong with football. I'll allow it.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Right. First to three goals wins.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30And just like in actual Tudor football, there are no rules,
0:01:30 > 0:01:33so you can kick, punch, bite, scratch, maim,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- pull each other's arms off... - No. Whoa, whoa, whoa! No way.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37That's how the Tudors played it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I don't care. We're getting rid of this for a start.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42- THUD! - Ah!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Sorry, Big Tony. Really sorry. I didn't mean...
0:01:45 > 0:01:49It is possible I didn't entirely drain that pig's bladder.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52You promised me you were going to behave yourself.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I had my tail crossed. Ha, ha, ha!
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Right. Kelly, Jonah and Zofia, you are playing to win Year Spheres.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Each Year Sphere contains a historical date,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08and at the end of the show your Year Sphere dates will be added up,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11with AD dates being added to your total
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and BC dates being subtracted from it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17If these were your Year Spheres, your total would be, Rattus?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Er, can I phone a friend?- All right. - KEY TONES BLEEP
0:02:20 > 0:02:22PHONE RINGS
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- 735.- Thanks.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- The answer is...- I know.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Oh...right. At the end of the show,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38the person with the highest year score
0:02:38 > 0:02:42will win an amazing prize that I've selected myself.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44And that's as fantastic as it sounds.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48By which I mean, not at all. Right, we're off.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And to find out what Round One's all about, over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It's the measly Middle Ages.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Four questions on the Middle Ages coming up.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And your four topics are...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Kelly, you get to pick first this round. Which is it going to be?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Pot Luck.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Pot Luck.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15True or false -
0:03:15 > 0:03:19the phrase "pot luck" comes from Middle Ages pottery?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Hmm. True or false? Let's see your answers now, please.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Jonah and Zofia going for true, Kelly going with false.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30What's the answer?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32It's false.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It comes from Middle Ages cookery,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37where all the food was just chucked into a pot and left stewing.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Whatever you actually got from the pot was just pot luck.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Us rats have a similar expression. "bin luck".
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- We get whatever's chucked in the bin. Ah!- Well done, Kelly.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51One point to you. Jonah, your turn to pick a topic.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Castles.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Castles. That is a question from Rattus Rattus.- Oh, thank you.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Is it true or false -
0:03:59 > 0:04:01when attacking a castle,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05knights were known to sneak in by climbing up the toilet chute?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Typical Rattus question, I'm afraid. Let's see your answers now, please.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Two falses and a true. Kelly and Jonah with falses,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Zofia goes for true. Rattus, put us out of our misery.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19The answer is...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21true! Ha-ha!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I guess they've just got to hope nothing's coming down the other way.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29It would be awful! Awful! Zofia, your turn to choose a topic.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Um, can I have Writing, please.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34True or false -
0:04:34 > 0:04:36we monks used to write on velum,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39which was made from treated and dried animal skin?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Kelly and Zofia going for true, Jonah with false.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Let's hear the answer. - It's true.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Hmm, there you go, a point each for the girls there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- It was usually calf or goat's skin. - Never rat skin, though?- No, no.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59OK. It's a draw at the moment with one question left in this round.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Kelly and Zofia, all to play for.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Let's do the final question. It's on Kings. Let's hear what it is.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07True or false -
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Henry VI of England and James V of Scotland both became kings
0:05:12 > 0:05:14when they were just nine years-old?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Interestingly, the girls have disagreed,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22so we are going to have a winner. Let's find out which of you it is.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27It's false. They both became king when they were just babies.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29So at least when those kings were behaving like babies,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- they actually were babies.- Yes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Fantastic. That means, Zofia, you've won the quiz.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Time to chose your Year Sphere.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Push, push, push, push, push, push, push...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Zofia, choose your Year Sphere.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Beware! One of them could contain a Stone Age date
0:05:47 > 0:05:49worth a few million minus points.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- This one.- That one?- Yes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Ho, ho, ho! Good luck. Push, push, push, push...
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Zofia, you've won the quiz, which means you're automatically through
0:05:57 > 0:06:00to play the Measly Middle Ages Game,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03but will you be playing alone or will everyone be playing?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Let's find out.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11It's a single-player silly game.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Zofia, it's off down the Time Sewer with you. Careful, it stinks.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Aw, aw! That's a bad one.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25We're going over to France in the 1400s to the court of King Louis XI.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Louis has taken delivery of a new, original instrument.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30It's time to play the...
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Pig Piano!
0:06:33 > 0:06:36The instrument consisted of pigs of different sizes and a keyboard.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Play a key and a little spike would prick a piggy and make it squeal.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43The larger the pig, the deeper the squeal.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Your challenge is to listen to and repeat a sequence of piggy squeals.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49The sequence will start with three squeals
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and get one squeal longer each time.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Correctly repeat nine squeals within the time limit to win a Year Sphere.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Get one note wrong, however, and, er... Well, you'll find out.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01HONK!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Let's get squealing.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06PIGS SQUEAL A TUNE
0:07:06 > 0:07:08There's the first sequence. Can she copy that?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11PIGS SQUEAL A TUNE
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Yes, she can.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16The idea here, Rattus, is for the pigs to make a sequence of noises,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20and then Zofia has to copy that sequence without making a mistake,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23otherwise something unspeakable will happen.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- What unspeakable thing, Dave? - I can't say, it's unspeakable.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Unspeakable, yes, yes. - Absolutely. She's doing very well.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Every time she gets a sequence correct,
0:07:33 > 0:07:35we add a squeak to that sequence.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37PIGS SQUEAL
0:07:37 > 0:07:40As you can see, she's moving through the sequences nicely here.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I like Zofia's style - two-handed.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's a double-handed press she uses there.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49And look at that, doesn't it make her happy.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- PIGS SQUEAL - Let's just reiterate,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54the way in which these squeaks are made
0:07:54 > 0:07:56is that a spike goes into the piggy's bottom.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Oh, it's so wrong Dave, it's right!
0:08:06 > 0:08:10She's doing well, going through the sequences incredibly well.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12She's not making any mistakes, Rattus.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Yeah, she's a cheery pig-torturer, is Zofia.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- You have to say, it's hypnotic, this, isn't it?- Certainly is.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Although, if you think about it, it's utterly harrowing.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Do I need to point out that these aren't real pigs?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Are they not real pigs? - No, I'm not going to.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33The pig piano - part musical instrument, part Sunday lunch.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37THRRRP!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Oh, big one's let one go!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Well, that was extraordinary. Did you see that, Rattus?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I did see a gust.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It was a puff of something and came out of the big one.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47- I don't know what happened there. - THRRRP!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Oh, there's another one!
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Oh, it's Liberty Hall! They're all going for it now!
0:08:52 > 0:08:56You have to say, Zofia remains absolutely focussed.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59There's pigs guffing left and right, she's barely noticed.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00But this is the final sequence.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04She has to get these nine squeals correct to win a Year Sphere.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Here she goes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07One...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09two, three...
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Aw! ..five, six,
0:09:12 > 0:09:18seven, eight, nine!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- She's done it!- She has done it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23That's the full nine squeally squeaks,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26and Zofia is Queen of pig torture!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Welcome back, Zofia. Choose yourself a Year Sphere.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Fantastic. Well done, Zofia, that was absolutely brilliant.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Now it's over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's the Awful Egyptians.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Here are your four Egyptian topics...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Jonah, it's your turn to pick a topic first.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54The Underworld, please.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58You have selected a question to be asked by Rattus Rattus.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Ancient Egyptians believed when you died you travelled to the underworld,
0:10:03 > 0:10:07where you faced numerous dangers, including a huge river of what?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Was it...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Thank you, Rattus.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Let's see you answers now.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24And everybody has gone for C, Rattus. Are they all right?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- They are indeed all right. - Well done.- It's C, fire!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Though faced with a river of fire,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I imagine there was the odd river of poo too!
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Rattus... Zofia, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Um, can I have Mummies, please?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Is this true or false?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Kelly and Jonah in agreement with B, Zofia going for C.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03The answer is B - 40 days.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07They used salt to dry the bodies you know?
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- It sucks all the moisture out. - Kelly, your turn to choose a topic.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Can I have Pharaohs, please.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Hatshepsut and Cleopatra were female pharaohs.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20But traditionally, all pharaohs were supposed to be men.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23So what did they do to make them seem more manly?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25A - play violent Egyptian sports,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27B - wear false beards
0:11:27 > 0:11:30or C - talk in low, growly voices like mine?
0:11:30 > 0:11:35All three going for B. Are you all right?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39The answer is B - the female pharaohs had to wear false beards.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Actually, my nan's growing a real beard.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Don't tell her I told you that.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47We won't say a word.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So, three points apiece for Kelly and Jonah.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Zofia one point behind, but there's one question left,
0:11:54 > 0:11:56so everyone still has everything to play for.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59That question is on Festivals and we're going to hear it now.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02In the early days of Egypt, once every four years
0:12:02 > 0:12:04at the Heb-Sed Festival,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07the pharaoh had to run three times around the Palace.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11What happened if the pharaoh couldn't complete the course?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15A - he was killed, B - he was made into a peasant,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18or C - he was banished.
0:12:18 > 0:12:24Well, girls both going for C, Jonah going for A. Who is right?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28The answer is A - he was killed, he's clearly too unfit to rule.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Congratulations, Jonah. You've won the quiz round.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Collect a Year Sphere, please. - We should have made them Year Noses.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Then picking them would be funnier.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44- Picking them. Picking them! No, I'll shut up.- I think that's best.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Jonah, as the quiz winner
0:12:46 > 0:12:49you're also through to play the Egyptian game,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51but will it be just you,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54or will the others play too? Let's find out.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59It's an all-play brainy game!
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So that means it is time for you all to get off down the Time Sewer.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08Go on! Go on, Zofia, get in there. Go on, Jonah. That's it, Kelly.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12In you go. Oh, a head first there. And she's gone.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Now, Egyptian Pharaohs like to be buried in style,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18and what could be more stylish than a pyramid?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- It's time to play...- Pyramid Puzzle!
0:13:22 > 0:13:25You're about to build your very own pyramid,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28much like the real ones only, thankfully, a lot smaller.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Nine building blocks, your challenge -
0:13:30 > 0:13:32to work out which block goes where.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35We've even put the first block in place to help you along.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- First to finish their pyramid wins the Year Sphere.- Ready, steady...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- HONK! - Get building!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Zofia goes straight for the big piece, as does Kelly.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Sensible - get the biggest piece on the board straightaway.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Jonah's done it too.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51They've all cottoned onto that incredibly quickly.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's an excellent start.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56There's a lot of pieces, isn't there, Rattus?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Fundamentally, that's the game, Dave. - Absolutely.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are lots of pieces.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04If it was just one big piece it'd be over...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Well, before they started.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You could hardly call it a challenge.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10There'd be no challenge to be had.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Jonah. He is flying through this challenge.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14The base layer is complete
0:14:14 > 0:14:18and he's started on the first floor already!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Oh! And Zofia's completed her base layer as well.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Whereas, Kelly, look at that.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28That's just a load of pieces in a hotchpotch of, disorder, really.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30But there's Jonah, look at him.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Zofia's on the second level, too.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35There, in fact, there, the two of them are doing very nicely.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Zofia and Jonah on the first floor.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Kelly having a look at every piece
0:14:40 > 0:14:44before committing to that ground floor, and why wouldn't you?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Zofia is doing nicely, as is Jonah,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and Kelly seems to be getting there herself.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52It's very, very tactical at this stage.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's all about trial and error, isn't it really, Rattus?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Kelly's completed the ground floor. Very nice.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Jonah putting his piece.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Kelly, she's coming with a bigger piece here.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Kelly could be coming with a bit of a late run here
0:15:05 > 0:15:08and that's tremendous because, after a great start,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Jonah seems to be having one or two problems now.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14And there's Zofia. Actually, she's doing extremely well!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16This has crept up on us, Rattus.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Look at this! She's only got two pieces!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Out of nowhere, only two pieces left to get!
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Oh, one more piece to go!
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Just the top piece. Surely she can't go wrong from here!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Dave, there is a point to this game, and it goes on the top there.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30There it is! And there's the trademark celebration.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Arms in the air,
0:15:32 > 0:15:37and well may she celebrate, for she hath built a pyramid!
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Well played, and well played, Zofia.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Zofia, did you find that difficult? - Yes.- You did extremely well.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's very tricky, the pyramid game.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Ever tried building a pyramid? - No, that would be just insane.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it?- Yep.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Excellent. Right.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Time for us to go over to the Gory Grid to find out who's up next.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's the Gorgeous Georgians!
0:16:01 > 0:16:05And here are your four Georgian topics.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Posh people.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Teeth.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Cures.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10And Sailors.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Zofia, it's your turn to pick first.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Could I have Posh People, please?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16You certainly can.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20True or false? When the Earl of Carlisle built his posh stately home,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24he gave all the locals in the nearest village a present of a flamingo.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Let's see your answers now please.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Everybody has gone for false. What's the real answer?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34It's false. In fact, he had the nearest village flattened.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Well, of course he did. It was quite ruining his view.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Quite right, too. Don't want your view ruined!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42So, Kelly. Your turn to pick a topic.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Teeth, please.- Teeth it is.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47True or false?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49If you needed a false tooth
0:16:49 > 0:16:52your Georgian dentist might give you one taken from a dead soldier.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59Very good. All going for true. Let's see if you are right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03It's true. Teeth were taken from dead soldiers at Waterloo.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05You know, I think this one's previous owner
0:17:05 > 0:17:08used to like garlic! Ugh.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10How absolutely revolting.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13So, everyone on two points. Jonah, pick your topic please.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- Cures please.- Cures. That is a question from Rattus Rattus.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20It certainly is, Dave.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21True or false?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24A Georgian cure for a stye on your eyelid
0:17:24 > 0:17:27was to rub it with the tail of a black (SPITS) cat.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Let's see your answers now, please.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Jonah and Zofia going for false. Kelly for true.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Rattus, what is the answer?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39True! And if it's all the same to you,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I'd rather keep the stye, and my life, for that matter.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Hmm. Absolutely.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Kelly, you've taken the lead with one question left in this round.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50If you get this right, there's nothing
0:17:50 > 0:17:52either of the other two can do to catch you
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and the final question in this round is on Sailors,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57and it is a prop question.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Here is your prop.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01True or false?
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Georgian sailors ate food from square plates.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Show me now.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Zofia's going for true. Jonah and Kelly going for false.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16The answer is, true!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And that is where we get the expression "a square meal".
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- I did not know that! - Yeah, it is true.- True, yeah.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26As we can see, we have a tie.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Kelly and Zofia have three points each.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Jonah's not involved in the buzzer round,
0:18:30 > 0:18:32but fingers on buzzers,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Kelly and Zofia, we're going for the tie-break question.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Beginning with the letter G, which king came next
0:18:38 > 0:18:42after George I, George II and George III?
0:18:42 > 0:18:43ATCHOO!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Kelly.- George IV.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49You're absolutely right, Kelly, you've won yourself a Year Sphere.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Well done. Everyone has Year Spheres now. I like it when that happens.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57OK, Kelly. You're through to play the Georgian game
0:18:57 > 0:19:01but will it be just you, or everyone else, too? Let's find out now.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07It's an all play silly game!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10So, off down that Time Sewer with the lot of you!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Lead 'em off, Zofia.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Lovely. Well done, Jonah, in you go. And now then.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Picture a Georgian and you picture someone in a wig
0:19:18 > 0:19:21with lots of make-up - and that's just the men!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Yes, all Georgians loved wigs, but there was one problem.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29They were home to hundreds of bugs. It's time to play...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Flea Fling!
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Fleas and lice will fling themselves from a giant Georgian wig.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Catch as many in your hair net and wig as possible.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42The player who catches the most wins the Year Sphere. Are you ready?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Are you steady? Let the fleas fling!
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Remember, our contestants have to catch those fleas
0:19:49 > 0:19:52in their nets or on their wigs.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Fleas and lice there. Some people call them parasites.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56I call them friends.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yeah. Look at them!
0:19:58 > 0:20:01There's hundreds of them, firing out from all angles.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04I didn't think there'd be that many fleas in a Georgian wig
0:20:04 > 0:20:05but clearly there are.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Well, Georgians were notably filthy, Dave, it has to be said.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Lice are impossible to get rid of, just like rats, eh?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I hear you. Boy, do I hear you.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Nits are actually the eggs of the louse, Dave.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Um, so they are technically one and the same species.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I bet you wish some fleas had set up home on your mangy head.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Thanks.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I do apologise for calling him mangy,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I didn't mean that, but look at the amount of the fleas
0:20:33 > 0:20:36that are being gathered! We're getting very near to the end.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Those nets will get pretty heavy if it carries on like that, Rattus.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41It will give them arm strain.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Absolutely. None have attached themselves to the players' heads.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Those wigs remain flealess, which is ironic.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Time's up. - And it's all over and we have a tie!
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Welcome back, Gory Gamers. Behind your podiums, please.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I can tell you that in third place with 26 points
0:21:00 > 0:21:07was Jonah, but joint first with 36 points each were Zofia and Kelly.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Zofia, if you'd like to go first. Choose yourself a Year Sphere.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15And now Kelly. Help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Did you know, only important people in Georgian times
0:21:19 > 0:21:22could afford a big wig. That's where the phrase "big wig" is from,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- meaning an important person.- Dave...
0:21:24 > 0:21:28If a wig goes bald, do you need to get a wig for it?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Answers on a postcard please and mail it to The Rat,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33No Fixed Abode, The Sewer.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Moving swiftly on. It's time for the final round.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43It's the Vicious Vikings.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45No quirky quiz in our final round.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It's straight to our big all-play Viking end game
0:21:48 > 0:21:53and it's a scary one! Mooah! Sorry.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Everyone get down that Time Sewer.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Come on, in you go. You know the way by now.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Well done, Jonah.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Excellent work, Kelly. Lovely.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09It's 793 AD and all is quiet in the monastery on Lindisfarne Island.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13But not for long. It's time to play...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You are defenceless monks.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Your only survival hope is that the Vikings won't find you
0:22:18 > 0:22:21so best not step on a squeaky floorboard.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Your challenge is to find the one squeak-free path.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Reach the end of the path and there are two doors.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32Behind one is freedom! Behind the other is (MANIACAL LAUGH)...
0:22:32 > 0:22:34a Viking.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Find him and you have to start all over again.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40First person to escape wins the Year Sphere.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Ready, steady...
0:22:43 > 0:22:45The contestants have to try
0:22:45 > 0:22:51and creep up to the doors at the end by avoiding the squeaky floorboard.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53And the creakers sink.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Once they creak, they have to go back to the start
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and try to make their way across.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01There's only one true path across this puzzle.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03They have got to find it by trial and error.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I think they've got to find it by using their feet, Dave.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Yep. One and the same thing.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15It's incredibly tense, as they try to recall where they've stood before
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and where they may not step in the future.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Kelly making some real progress here.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24The same cannot be said for Jonah or Zofia.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Kelly's getting a long way down her path.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Look how far she's going with such sureness of foot.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Now look out. Oh!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36A floorboard squeak just at the wrong moment.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38And back to the very beginning for her.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41That must be very disappointing for the girl.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Yep. Jonah sets off again.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45This is the problem for Kelly.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49She was at the end but she couldn't remember the path.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54No squeak there for Zofia. Not squeak there for Jonah.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56No squeak there for Zofia! No...
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Oh dear, Jonah's off.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00But Zofia's done it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02She's through, Dave.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04She's at the big crux of the challenge.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07The door on the right and it's the door to freedom!
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Oh!
0:24:08 > 0:24:12She's free. The others are going to be hacked to death by Vikings.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Zofia, help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Vikings got a taste for raiding monasteries
0:24:18 > 0:24:22as they were full of gold and silver and were defended by, er,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24well, monks, so they knew they'd win.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Would have been pretty embarrassing
0:24:26 > 0:24:29if the big tough Vikings had lost to monks!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Much like when you lost an arm wrestle to a rat, Dave.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I don't know what you mean.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Time to count up those Year Spheres, I think.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And remember, AD years are added to your total
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and BC years subtracted.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Kelly, we'll start with you.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Please could you open your first Year Sphere.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48508 BC.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Oh!
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Democracy invented in Athens. Let's have a look at the second one.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59It's 1658 AD. The death of Oliver Cromwell.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01You have a total of 1,150.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Now, Jonah, if you can beat that, that will put you into the lead.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08What have you got?
0:25:08 > 0:25:111727 AD.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14George II became King.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You are in the lead.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19So, if Zofia gets a large BC score
0:25:19 > 0:25:21in amongst her spheres,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23you are going to be our champion.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Zofia, here we go. You've won five spheres. Let's see what you've got.
0:25:26 > 0:25:2955 BC.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The year Julius Caesar invaded Britain.
0:25:33 > 0:25:3760 AD. Boudicca rebelled against the Romans.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39You're on plus five.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41899 AD.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44The death of Alfred the Great.
0:25:44 > 0:25:471939 AD,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50the start of the Second World War.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52It's all comes down to this final sphere.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53What's it going to be?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Let's have a look.
0:25:56 > 0:25:598500 BC!
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The age of the oldest Stone Age house discovered in Britain.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04You've been torpedoed
0:26:04 > 0:26:07by a massive BC, which means that your final score is
0:26:07 > 0:26:12minus 5,657.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- Which means Jonah is today's champion.- Yes! Wooh!
0:26:16 > 0:26:20And that means that you go home with our star prize
0:26:20 > 0:26:24and our prizes aren't your usual game-show rubbish. Oh, no.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27They're unique bits of historical rubbish
0:26:27 > 0:26:30picked out of the Time Sewers by my colleague here.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32So what's the big prize, Rattus?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35To celebrate the amazing Roman sewage system,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37which pumped all the city of Rome's poo
0:26:37 > 0:26:39into the River Tiber,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42it's a poo-filled Roman fish from the River Tiber!
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Hooray!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Yay.- There it is.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Full of poo and from Rome!
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Of all the rivers in all the historical eras in all the world,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55why, oh why, did you pick a fish from one that's filled with poo?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Because, and this might just be me,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I have always found fish to be a little bit bland.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Oh!- Congratulations, Jonah.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Well done. There you go. - Thank you.- Terribly sorry.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11At least you get to keep your Gory Games T-shirt. So it's not all bad.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It just remains for me to say thanks to our champion, Jonah,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18and our fantastic runners up, Kelly and Zofia,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20and no thanks whatsoever to Rattus.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Oh, I'm nothing if not constipated.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25No wait. Consistent. That's the word.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- You've been watching Gory Games. Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32# Was that show messy enough for you
