Hello and welcome to Gory Games, with me, Dave Lamb. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
And me, Rattus Rattus. Can I come out now? | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Are you going to behave yourself? | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
-Yes. -Promise? -Promise. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
All right, then. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
I'm sorry we had to do that. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
This is the show where you get to test your knowledge | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
of Horrible Histories with quirky quiz questions and gory games. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
So without further ado, let's meet today's horrible historians. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
I'm Kelly. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
I'm Jonah. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
-And I'm Zofia! -Hello! Welcome, one and all. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
To get things going this week, I've come up with... | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
No! Sorry, sorry. You always do this. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
You come up with some awful warm-up game that gets me | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
into trouble with the BBC. Well, not today. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
-I was only going to suggest football. -Football? Just football? | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Well, Tudor football. I mean it's got to be historical, obviously. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
-OK. -Granted, it is played with an inflated pig's bladder, | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
but other than that, it's just football. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
There's nothing wrong with football. I'll allow it. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Right. First to three goals wins. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
And just like in actual Tudor football, there are no rules, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
so you can kick, punch, bite, scratch, maim, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
-pull each other's arms off... -No. Whoa, whoa, whoa! No way. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
That's how the Tudors played it. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
I don't care. We're getting rid of this for a start. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-THUD! -Ah! | 0:01:41 | 0:01:42 | |
Sorry, Big Tony. Really sorry. I didn't mean... | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
It is possible I didn't entirely drain that pig's bladder. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
You promised me you were going to behave yourself. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
I had my tail crossed. Ha, ha, ha! | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Right. Kelly, Jonah and Zofia, you are playing to win Year Spheres. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
Each Year Sphere contains a historical date, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
and at the end of the show your Year Sphere dates will be added up, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
with AD dates being added to your total | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
and BC dates being subtracted from it. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
If these were your Year Spheres, your total would be, Rattus? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-Er, can I phone a friend? -All right. -KEY TONES BLEEP | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
-735. -Thanks. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-The answer is... -I know. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
Oh...right. At the end of the show, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
the person with the highest year score | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
will win an amazing prize that I've selected myself. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
And that's as fantastic as it sounds. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
By which I mean, not at all. Right, we're off. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
And to find out what Round One's all about, over to the Gory Grid. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
It's the measly Middle Ages. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
Four questions on the Middle Ages coming up. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
And your four topics are... | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Kelly, you get to pick first this round. Which is it going to be? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Pot Luck. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
Pot Luck. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
True or false - | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
the phrase "pot luck" comes from Middle Ages pottery? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
Hmm. True or false? Let's see your answers now, please. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
Jonah and Zofia going for true, Kelly going with false. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
What's the answer? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
It's false. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
It comes from Middle Ages cookery, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
where all the food was just chucked into a pot and left stewing. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Whatever you actually got from the pot was just pot luck. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
Us rats have a similar expression. "bin luck". | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-We get whatever's chucked in the bin. Ah! -Well done, Kelly. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
One point to you. Jonah, your turn to pick a topic. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Castles. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
-Castles. That is a question from Rattus Rattus. -Oh, thank you. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Is it true or false - | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
when attacking a castle, | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
knights were known to sneak in by climbing up the toilet chute? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
Typical Rattus question, I'm afraid. Let's see your answers now, please. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
Two falses and a true. Kelly and Jonah with falses, | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Zofia goes for true. Rattus, put us out of our misery. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
The answer is... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
true! Ha-ha! | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
I guess they've just got to hope nothing's coming down the other way. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
It would be awful! Awful! Zofia, your turn to choose a topic. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
Um, can I have Writing, please. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
True or false - | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
we monks used to write on velum, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
which was made from treated and dried animal skin? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
Kelly and Zofia going for true, Jonah with false. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-Let's hear the answer. -It's true. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Hmm, there you go, a point each for the girls there. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
-It was usually calf or goat's skin. -Never rat skin, though? -No, no. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
OK. It's a draw at the moment with one question left in this round. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Kelly and Zofia, all to play for. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Let's do the final question. It's on Kings. Let's hear what it is. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
True or false - | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
Henry VI of England and James V of Scotland both became kings | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
when they were just nine years-old? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
Interestingly, the girls have disagreed, | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
so we are going to have a winner. Let's find out which of you it is. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
It's false. They both became king when they were just babies. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
So at least when those kings were behaving like babies, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-they actually were babies. -Yes. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Fantastic. That means, Zofia, you've won the quiz. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
Time to chose your Year Sphere. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Push, push, push, push, push, push, push... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Zofia, choose your Year Sphere. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Beware! One of them could contain a Stone Age date | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
worth a few million minus points. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
-This one. -That one? -Yes. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Ho, ho, ho! Good luck. Push, push, push, push... | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
Zofia, you've won the quiz, which means you're automatically through | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
to play the Measly Middle Ages Game, | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
but will you be playing alone or will everyone be playing? | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Let's find out. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
It's a single-player silly game. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
Zofia, it's off down the Time Sewer with you. Careful, it stinks. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
Aw, aw! That's a bad one. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
We're going over to France in the 1400s to the court of King Louis XI. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
Louis has taken delivery of a new, original instrument. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
It's time to play the... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
Pig Piano! | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
The instrument consisted of pigs of different sizes and a keyboard. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Play a key and a little spike would prick a piggy and make it squeal. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
The larger the pig, the deeper the squeal. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Your challenge is to listen to and repeat a sequence of piggy squeals. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
The sequence will start with three squeals | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
and get one squeal longer each time. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
Correctly repeat nine squeals within the time limit to win a Year Sphere. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
Get one note wrong, however, and, er... Well, you'll find out. | 0:06:55 | 0:07:00 | |
HONK! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
Let's get squealing. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
PIGS SQUEAL A TUNE | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
There's the first sequence. Can she copy that? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
PIGS SQUEAL A TUNE | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
Yes, she can. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
The idea here, Rattus, is for the pigs to make a sequence of noises, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
and then Zofia has to copy that sequence without making a mistake, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
otherwise something unspeakable will happen. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-What unspeakable thing, Dave? -I can't say, it's unspeakable. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-Unspeakable, yes, yes. -Absolutely. She's doing very well. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
Every time she gets a sequence correct, | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
we add a squeak to that sequence. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
PIGS SQUEAL | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
As you can see, she's moving through the sequences nicely here. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
I like Zofia's style - two-handed. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
It's a double-handed press she uses there. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
And look at that, doesn't it make her happy. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
-PIGS SQUEAL -Let's just reiterate, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
the way in which these squeaks are made | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
is that a spike goes into the piggy's bottom. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
Oh, it's so wrong Dave, it's right! | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
She's doing well, going through the sequences incredibly well. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
She's not making any mistakes, Rattus. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
Yeah, she's a cheery pig-torturer, is Zofia. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-You have to say, it's hypnotic, this, isn't it? -Certainly is. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Although, if you think about it, it's utterly harrowing. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
Do I need to point out that these aren't real pigs? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
-Are they not real pigs? -No, I'm not going to. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
The pig piano - part musical instrument, part Sunday lunch. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
THRRRP! | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
Oh, big one's let one go! | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Well, that was extraordinary. Did you see that, Rattus? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
I did see a gust. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
It was a puff of something and came out of the big one. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
-I don't know what happened there. -THRRRP! | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Oh, there's another one! | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
Oh, it's Liberty Hall! They're all going for it now! | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
You have to say, Zofia remains absolutely focussed. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
There's pigs guffing left and right, she's barely noticed. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
But this is the final sequence. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
She has to get these nine squeals correct to win a Year Sphere. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
Here she goes. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
One... | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
two, three... | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Aw! ..five, six, | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
seven, eight, nine! | 0:09:12 | 0:09:18 | |
-She's done it! -She has done it. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
That's the full nine squeally squeaks, | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
and Zofia is Queen of pig torture! | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
Welcome back, Zofia. Choose yourself a Year Sphere. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Fantastic. Well done, Zofia, that was absolutely brilliant. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
Now it's over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
It's the Awful Egyptians. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Here are your four Egyptian topics... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Jonah, it's your turn to pick a topic first. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
The Underworld, please. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
You have selected a question to be asked by Rattus Rattus. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
Ancient Egyptians believed when you died you travelled to the underworld, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
where you faced numerous dangers, including a huge river of what? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Was it... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
Thank you, Rattus. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:16 | |
Let's see you answers now. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
And everybody has gone for C, Rattus. Are they all right? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:24 | |
-They are indeed all right. -Well done. -It's C, fire! | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
Though faced with a river of fire, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
I imagine there was the odd river of poo too! | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
Rattus... Zofia, it's your turn to pick a topic. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
Um, can I have Mummies, please? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
Is this true or false? | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
Kelly and Jonah in agreement with B, Zofia going for C. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
The answer is B - 40 days. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
They used salt to dry the bodies you know? | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
-It sucks all the moisture out. -Kelly, your turn to choose a topic. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
Can I have Pharaohs, please. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Hatshepsut and Cleopatra were female pharaohs. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
But traditionally, all pharaohs were supposed to be men. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
So what did they do to make them seem more manly? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
A - play violent Egyptian sports, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
B - wear false beards | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
or C - talk in low, growly voices like mine? | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
All three going for B. Are you all right? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
The answer is B - the female pharaohs had to wear false beards. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
Actually, my nan's growing a real beard. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
Don't tell her I told you that. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
We won't say a word. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
So, three points apiece for Kelly and Jonah. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Zofia one point behind, but there's one question left, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
so everyone still has everything to play for. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
That question is on Festivals and we're going to hear it now. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
In the early days of Egypt, once every four years | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
at the Heb-Sed Festival, | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
the pharaoh had to run three times around the Palace. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
What happened if the pharaoh couldn't complete the course? | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
A - he was killed, B - he was made into a peasant, | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
or C - he was banished. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
Well, girls both going for C, Jonah going for A. Who is right? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
The answer is A - he was killed, he's clearly too unfit to rule. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
Congratulations, Jonah. You've won the quiz round. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-Collect a Year Sphere, please. -We should have made them Year Noses. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
Then picking them would be funnier. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
-Picking them. Picking them! No, I'll shut up. -I think that's best. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
Jonah, as the quiz winner | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
you're also through to play the Egyptian game, | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
but will it be just you, | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
or will the others play too? Let's find out. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
It's an all-play brainy game! | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
So that means it is time for you all to get off down the Time Sewer. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Go on! Go on, Zofia, get in there. Go on, Jonah. That's it, Kelly. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:08 | |
In you go. Oh, a head first there. And she's gone. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
Now, Egyptian Pharaohs like to be buried in style, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
and what could be more stylish than a pyramid? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
-It's time to play... -Pyramid Puzzle! | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
You're about to build your very own pyramid, | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
much like the real ones only, thankfully, a lot smaller. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
Nine building blocks, your challenge - | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
to work out which block goes where. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
We've even put the first block in place to help you along. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
-First to finish their pyramid wins the Year Sphere. -Ready, steady... | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
-HONK! -Get building! | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Zofia goes straight for the big piece, as does Kelly. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
Sensible - get the biggest piece on the board straightaway. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Jonah's done it too. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:48 | |
They've all cottoned onto that incredibly quickly. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
That's an excellent start. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
There's a lot of pieces, isn't there, Rattus? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-Fundamentally, that's the game, Dave. -Absolutely. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are lots of pieces. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
If it was just one big piece it'd be over... | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Well, before they started. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
You could hardly call it a challenge. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
There'd be no challenge to be had. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
Jonah. He is flying through this challenge. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
The base layer is complete | 0:14:13 | 0:14:14 | |
and he's started on the first floor already! | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
Oh! And Zofia's completed her base layer as well. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
Whereas, Kelly, look at that. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:24 | |
That's just a load of pieces in a hotchpotch of, disorder, really. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
But there's Jonah, look at him. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
Zofia's on the second level, too. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
There, in fact, there, the two of them are doing very nicely. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
Zofia and Jonah on the first floor. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
Kelly having a look at every piece | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
before committing to that ground floor, and why wouldn't you? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Zofia is doing nicely, as is Jonah, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
and Kelly seems to be getting there herself. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
It's very, very tactical at this stage. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
It's all about trial and error, isn't it really, Rattus? | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
Kelly's completed the ground floor. Very nice. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Jonah putting his piece. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
Kelly, she's coming with a bigger piece here. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
Kelly could be coming with a bit of a late run here | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
and that's tremendous because, after a great start, | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
Jonah seems to be having one or two problems now. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
And there's Zofia. Actually, she's doing extremely well! | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
This has crept up on us, Rattus. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
Look at this! She's only got two pieces! | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
Out of nowhere, only two pieces left to get! | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
Oh, one more piece to go! | 0:15:20 | 0:15:21 | |
Just the top piece. Surely she can't go wrong from here! | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Dave, there is a point to this game, and it goes on the top there. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
There it is! And there's the trademark celebration. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
Arms in the air, | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
and well may she celebrate, for she hath built a pyramid! | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
Well played, and well played, Zofia. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Help yourself to a Year Sphere. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
-Zofia, did you find that difficult? -Yes. -You did extremely well. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
It's very tricky, the pyramid game. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
-Ever tried building a pyramid? -No, that would be just insane. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it? -Yep. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
Excellent. Right. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:55 | |
Time for us to go over to the Gory Grid to find out who's up next. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
It's the Gorgeous Georgians! | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
And here are your four Georgian topics. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
Posh people. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:06 | |
Teeth. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:07 | |
Cures. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
And Sailors. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:10 | |
Zofia, it's your turn to pick first. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Could I have Posh People, please? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:14 | |
You certainly can. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
True or false? When the Earl of Carlisle built his posh stately home, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
he gave all the locals in the nearest village a present of a flamingo. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
Let's see your answers now please. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
Everybody has gone for false. What's the real answer? | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
It's false. In fact, he had the nearest village flattened. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
Well, of course he did. It was quite ruining his view. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Quite right, too. Don't want your view ruined! | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
So, Kelly. Your turn to pick a topic. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
-Teeth, please. -Teeth it is. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
True or false? | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
If you needed a false tooth | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
your Georgian dentist might give you one taken from a dead soldier. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
Very good. All going for true. Let's see if you are right. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:59 | |
It's true. Teeth were taken from dead soldiers at Waterloo. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
You know, I think this one's previous owner | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
used to like garlic! Ugh. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
How absolutely revolting. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
So, everyone on two points. Jonah, pick your topic please. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
-Cures please. -Cures. That is a question from Rattus Rattus. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
It certainly is, Dave. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
True or false? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
A Georgian cure for a stye on your eyelid | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
was to rub it with the tail of a black (SPITS) cat. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
Let's see your answers now, please. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
Jonah and Zofia going for false. Kelly for true. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
Rattus, what is the answer? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
True! And if it's all the same to you, | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
I'd rather keep the stye, and my life, for that matter. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
Hmm. Absolutely. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
Kelly, you've taken the lead with one question left in this round. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
If you get this right, there's nothing | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
either of the other two can do to catch you | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
and the final question in this round is on Sailors, | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
and it is a prop question. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:57 | |
Here is your prop. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
True or false? | 0:18:00 | 0:18:01 | |
Georgian sailors ate food from square plates. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
Show me now. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
Zofia's going for true. Jonah and Kelly going for false. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:13 | |
The answer is, true! | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
And that is where we get the expression "a square meal". | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
-I did not know that! -Yeah, it is true. -True, yeah. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
As we can see, we have a tie. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Kelly and Zofia have three points each. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
Jonah's not involved in the buzzer round, | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
but fingers on buzzers, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
Kelly and Zofia, we're going for the tie-break question. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
Beginning with the letter G, which king came next | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
after George I, George II and George III? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
ATCHOO! | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
-Kelly. -George IV. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
You're absolutely right, Kelly, you've won yourself a Year Sphere. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
Well done. Everyone has Year Spheres now. I like it when that happens. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
OK, Kelly. You're through to play the Georgian game | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
but will it be just you, or everyone else, too? Let's find out now. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
It's an all play silly game! | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
So, off down that Time Sewer with the lot of you! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Lead 'em off, Zofia. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
Lovely. Well done, Jonah, in you go. And now then. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
Picture a Georgian and you picture someone in a wig | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
with lots of make-up - and that's just the men! | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
Yes, all Georgians loved wigs, but there was one problem. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
They were home to hundreds of bugs. It's time to play... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Flea Fling! | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Fleas and lice will fling themselves from a giant Georgian wig. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
Catch as many in your hair net and wig as possible. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
The player who catches the most wins the Year Sphere. Are you ready? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Are you steady? Let the fleas fling! | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Remember, our contestants have to catch those fleas | 0:19:45 | 0:19:49 | |
in their nets or on their wigs. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
Fleas and lice there. Some people call them parasites. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
I call them friends. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:56 | |
Yeah. Look at them! | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
There's hundreds of them, firing out from all angles. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
I didn't think there'd be that many fleas in a Georgian wig | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
but clearly there are. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
Well, Georgians were notably filthy, Dave, it has to be said. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
Lice are impossible to get rid of, just like rats, eh? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
I hear you. Boy, do I hear you. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
Nits are actually the eggs of the louse, Dave. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
Um, so they are technically one and the same species. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
I bet you wish some fleas had set up home on your mangy head. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
Thanks. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
I do apologise for calling him mangy, | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
I didn't mean that, but look at the amount of the fleas | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
that are being gathered! We're getting very near to the end. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
Those nets will get pretty heavy if it carries on like that, Rattus. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
It will give them arm strain. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
Absolutely. None have attached themselves to the players' heads. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
Those wigs remain flealess, which is ironic. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
-Time's up. -And it's all over and we have a tie! | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
Welcome back, Gory Gamers. Behind your podiums, please. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
I can tell you that in third place with 26 points | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
was Jonah, but joint first with 36 points each were Zofia and Kelly. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:07 | |
Zofia, if you'd like to go first. Choose yourself a Year Sphere. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
And now Kelly. Help yourself to a Year Sphere. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
Did you know, only important people in Georgian times | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
could afford a big wig. That's where the phrase "big wig" is from, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-meaning an important person. -Dave... | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
If a wig goes bald, do you need to get a wig for it? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
Answers on a postcard please and mail it to The Rat, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
No Fixed Abode, The Sewer. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
Moving swiftly on. It's time for the final round. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
It's the Vicious Vikings. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
No quirky quiz in our final round. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
It's straight to our big all-play Viking end game | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
and it's a scary one! Mooah! Sorry. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
Everyone get down that Time Sewer. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
Come on, in you go. You know the way by now. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Well done, Jonah. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Excellent work, Kelly. Lovely. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
It's 793 AD and all is quiet in the monastery on Lindisfarne Island. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:09 | |
But not for long. It's time to play... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
You are defenceless monks. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
Your only survival hope is that the Vikings won't find you | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
so best not step on a squeaky floorboard. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
Your challenge is to find the one squeak-free path. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
Reach the end of the path and there are two doors. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
Behind one is freedom! Behind the other is (MANIACAL LAUGH)... | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
a Viking. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
Find him and you have to start all over again. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
First person to escape wins the Year Sphere. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
Ready, steady... | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
The contestants have to try | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
and creep up to the doors at the end by avoiding the squeaky floorboard. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:51 | |
And the creakers sink. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
Once they creak, they have to go back to the start | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
and try to make their way across. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
There's only one true path across this puzzle. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
They have got to find it by trial and error. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
I think they've got to find it by using their feet, Dave. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
Yep. One and the same thing. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
It's incredibly tense, as they try to recall where they've stood before | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
and where they may not step in the future. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Kelly making some real progress here. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
The same cannot be said for Jonah or Zofia. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
Kelly's getting a long way down her path. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
Look how far she's going with such sureness of foot. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Now look out. Oh! | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
A floorboard squeak just at the wrong moment. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
And back to the very beginning for her. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
That must be very disappointing for the girl. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
Yep. Jonah sets off again. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
This is the problem for Kelly. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:45 | |
She was at the end but she couldn't remember the path. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
No squeak there for Zofia. Not squeak there for Jonah. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:54 | |
No squeak there for Zofia! No... | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
Oh dear, Jonah's off. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
But Zofia's done it. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
She's through, Dave. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
She's at the big crux of the challenge. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
The door on the right and it's the door to freedom! | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
Oh! | 0:24:07 | 0:24:08 | |
She's free. The others are going to be hacked to death by Vikings. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
Zofia, help yourself to another Year Sphere. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
Vikings got a taste for raiding monasteries | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
as they were full of gold and silver and were defended by, er, | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
well, monks, so they knew they'd win. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
Would have been pretty embarrassing | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
if the big tough Vikings had lost to monks! | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
Much like when you lost an arm wrestle to a rat, Dave. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
I don't know what you mean. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Time to count up those Year Spheres, I think. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
And remember, AD years are added to your total | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
and BC years subtracted. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
Kelly, we'll start with you. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
Please could you open your first Year Sphere. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
508 BC. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
Oh! | 0:24:48 | 0:24:49 | |
Democracy invented in Athens. Let's have a look at the second one. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
It's 1658 AD. The death of Oliver Cromwell. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
You have a total of 1,150. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
Now, Jonah, if you can beat that, that will put you into the lead. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
What have you got? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
1727 AD. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
George II became King. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
You are in the lead. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
So, if Zofia gets a large BC score | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
in amongst her spheres, | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
you are going to be our champion. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
Zofia, here we go. You've won five spheres. Let's see what you've got. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
55 BC. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
The year Julius Caesar invaded Britain. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
60 AD. Boudicca rebelled against the Romans. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
You're on plus five. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
899 AD. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
The death of Alfred the Great. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
1939 AD, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
the start of the Second World War. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
It's all comes down to this final sphere. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
What's it going to be? | 0:25:52 | 0:25:53 | |
Let's have a look. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
8500 BC! | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
The age of the oldest Stone Age house discovered in Britain. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
You've been torpedoed | 0:26:03 | 0:26:04 | |
by a massive BC, which means that your final score is | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
minus 5,657. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:12 | |
-Which means Jonah is today's champion. -Yes! Wooh! | 0:26:12 | 0:26:16 | |
And that means that you go home with our star prize | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
and our prizes aren't your usual game-show rubbish. Oh, no. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
They're unique bits of historical rubbish | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
picked out of the Time Sewers by my colleague here. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
So what's the big prize, Rattus? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
To celebrate the amazing Roman sewage system, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
which pumped all the city of Rome's poo | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
into the River Tiber, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
it's a poo-filled Roman fish from the River Tiber! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
Hooray! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
-Yay. -There it is. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
Full of poo and from Rome! | 0:26:46 | 0:26:47 | |
Of all the rivers in all the historical eras in all the world, | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
why, oh why, did you pick a fish from one that's filled with poo? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
Because, and this might just be me, | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
I have always found fish to be a little bit bland. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
-Oh! -Congratulations, Jonah. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-Well done. There you go. -Thank you. -Terribly sorry. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
At least you get to keep your Gory Games T-shirt. So it's not all bad. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
It just remains for me to say thanks to our champion, Jonah, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
and our fantastic runners up, Kelly and Zofia, | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
and no thanks whatsoever to Rattus. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Oh, I'm nothing if not constipated. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
No wait. Consistent. That's the word. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
-You've been watching Gory Games. Goodbye. -Goodbye. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |

# Have you had your fill of blood, guts and gore? | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |

# Well, keep watching We'll be back again | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
