# Games! #

0:00:220:00:24

The important thing is that when we start the show, you're ready to go.

0:00:240:00:29

Hello and welcome to Gory Games

0:00:290:00:31

with me, Dave Lamb, and my assistant Rattus Rattus.

0:00:310:00:34

And my assistant Marcus the Flea. Ow!

0:00:340:00:38

No biting, Marcus. We're on television.

0:00:380:00:41

You get to test your knowledge of Horrible Histories.

0:00:410:00:45

With quirky quiz questions.

0:00:450:00:47

Come on, Marcus. This is your line.

0:00:470:00:50

Marcus!

0:00:500:00:51

-Oh, my flea's gone all shy. Ha-ha!

-THRRP!

0:00:530:00:56

Oh, Marcus, we're on TV!

0:00:560:00:59

And Gory Games. Without further ado, let's meet our horrible historians.

0:00:590:01:04

-Hi, I'm Dionne.

-Hi, I'm Melissa.

0:01:040:01:07

-Hi, I'm Lloyd.

-Welcome on board, Lloyd.

0:01:070:01:10

OK, we'll kick off the show with a warm-up game of my own invention.

0:01:100:01:14

-Oh, joy(!)

-A little Victorian game I like to call Gone Fishing.

0:01:140:01:19

That sounds OK. What are we after? Trout, perch, a bit of salmon?

0:01:190:01:23

-Tapeworm.

-Tapeworm. Of course.

0:01:230:01:25

Victorian inventor Dr Myers came up

0:01:250:01:29

with the remarkable little tapeworm trap.

0:01:290:01:31

Inside the metal container is some bait. Ha-ha!

0:01:310:01:36

I like to use rotten meat, but fresh meat will do.

0:01:360:01:40

Hand them out to the contestants, will you, Dave?

0:01:400:01:43

Guys, dangle the trap down my throat

0:01:430:01:46

and the tapeworm will go for the bait and get caught!

0:01:460:01:49

The first person to catch Terry my tapeworm wins.

0:01:490:01:52

Here they come, Terry, ready or not! Ahhhhhh!

0:01:520:01:56

No, I'm sorry, I can't do that.

0:01:560:01:58

We won't have tapeworm extractions on my show.

0:01:580:02:01

That's probably not such a bad thing.

0:02:010:02:04

-Some people choke to death on the tapeworm trap.

-And you'd risk that?

0:02:040:02:08

-No, I knew you'd call it all off.

-Predictable to a fault, I am.

0:02:080:02:12

Right, Dionne, Melissa and Lloyd, you are playing to win Year Spheres.

0:02:120:02:18

Each Year Sphere contains a date.

0:02:180:02:20

At the end of the show, your sphere dates will be added up

0:02:200:02:24

with AD dates being ADDED to your total

0:02:240:02:27

and BC dates being SUBTRACTED from it.

0:02:270:02:30

So, if these were your Year Spheres, your total would be, Rattus?

0:02:300:02:34

Oh, um...approximately 12.

0:02:340:02:37

No, it's 735.

0:02:370:02:40

-I know, I was being very approximate.

-Ignore him.

0:02:400:02:44

At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score

0:02:440:02:48

-will win a unique historical prize.

-Just something I've picked up.

0:02:480:02:52

-Bear in mind that the last thing he picked up was the plague.

-Oi!

0:02:520:02:56

Let's get cracking. To see who this round's about,

0:02:560:02:59

it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:02:590:03:02

It's the Gorgeous Georgians.

0:03:020:03:04

And your four Georgian topics are:

0:03:040:03:07

Dionne, you get first pick as it's the first round, so pick away.

0:03:110:03:16

-Teeth.

-Let's hear the question.

0:03:160:03:19

True or false? Our Georgian dentists used whale bones to make false teeth.

0:03:190:03:25

Let's see your answers now, please.

0:03:250:03:28

Melissa and Lloyd going for "true", Dionne for "false". Who's right?

0:03:280:03:32

It's false.

0:03:320:03:35

But they did use walrus tusks.

0:03:350:03:37

Thankfully, they cut them down a bit first, though. Marvellous!

0:03:370:03:42

Yes, thankfully. Dionne, well done.

0:03:420:03:45

-Melissa, it's your turn to pick a topic.

-Fashion, please.

0:03:450:03:49

-Fashion, it is.

-Is this true or is it false?

0:03:490:03:53

You've all gone for "true".

0:04:000:04:03

Interesting. Let's find out if you're right.

0:04:030:04:07

OK, in fact, it's true.

0:04:070:04:10

It is true. The huge dresses were called mantua dresses.

0:04:100:04:14

Many doorways had to be enlarged,

0:04:140:04:16

-so ladies in these massive dresses could fit through.

-Excuse me.

0:04:160:04:20

Does my bum look big in this? Yes? Oh, good!

0:04:200:04:24

-That's what they were after.

-Ha-ha!

-Lloyd, your turn to pick a topic.

0:04:240:04:28

I'll go with Milk.

0:04:280:04:31

-That is a prop question.

-It's a prop question. I like the prop questions!

0:04:310:04:35

-Oh, my word!

-Oh, oh!

0:04:350:04:38

Eugh! That is a bucket of dirty milk.

0:04:390:04:43

It really is horrible. Here's the question about it. True or false?

0:04:440:04:49

Georgian milkmaids carried milk through town in buckets

0:04:490:04:53

and the milk usually had lice, spit and hair in it. Is it true or false?

0:04:530:04:58

Dionne has gone for "false".

0:04:590:05:01

Melissa and Lloyd have both gone for "true".

0:05:010:05:04

I can tell you that the answer is "true". The milk was filthy.

0:05:040:05:08

And it's absolutely delicious.

0:05:080:05:11

Let's put this down here. Just lick that little mark up there, Rattus.

0:05:110:05:16

Fantastic. So everyone on two points, it's very, very exciting.

0:05:160:05:21

One question left in this round and it's a question on Napoleon.

0:05:210:05:25

True or false? Before a long march,

0:05:260:05:29

Napoleon's French soldiers would sometimes put an egg into each boot.

0:05:290:05:33

Let's see your answers now, please.

0:05:330:05:36

Dionne's gone for "true", Melissa and Lloyd for "false". Who's right?

0:05:370:05:42

It's true. They thought this helped soothe blistered feet.

0:05:420:05:48

I guess they ended up with a cheese omelette at the end of the march!

0:05:480:05:52

Yummy!

0:05:520:05:54

Yes, horrible.

0:05:540:05:56

Dionne, congratulations. You've won the quiz.

0:05:560:05:59

-Choose your Year Sphere from our Trolley Wally.

-Don't call me that!

0:05:590:06:04

Oh, I hate it when it's all the way down here. It's such a long way.

0:06:040:06:09

-Hello, Dionne.

-Hello.

-Choose your Year Sphere, whichever one you want.

0:06:090:06:14

One could have a Stone Age date worth a few million minus points.

0:06:140:06:19

Oh-ho-ho!

0:06:190:06:21

Winning the quiz means Dionne is through to play the Georgian Game.

0:06:220:06:27

But will she be alone or will everyone get to play?

0:06:270:06:31

It's an All Play Silly Game,

0:06:330:06:35

so that means it's off down the Time Sewer with the lot of you.

0:06:350:06:40

-Off you go, Lloyd. It stinks, by the way.

-Eugh!

0:06:400:06:43

-In you go, Melissa.

-It stinks!

0:06:430:06:45

-I know it does. Go on then. Down you go.

-Aaagh!

0:06:450:06:49

Eugh! Eugh!

0:06:490:06:52

Oh, it stinks in here!

0:06:520:06:54

Eugh!

0:06:540:06:57

Now, Georgians were famous for wearing huge wigs

0:06:570:07:00

which were invariably infested with hundreds of bugs,

0:07:000:07:04

-so it's time to play...

-Flea Fling.

0:07:040:07:07

Loads of fleas and lice will fling themselves from a Georgian wig.

0:07:070:07:11

You catch as many bugs in your hair net as possible.

0:07:110:07:14

The player who catches the most wins the Year Sphere.

0:07:140:07:17

Are you ready, steady...?

0:07:170:07:19

Let the flea circus begin!

0:07:190:07:22

HOOTER

0:07:220:07:24

Here we are then, a Georgian Flea Fling.

0:07:240:07:27

Already the bugs of many shapes and sizes are coming out of the wig.

0:07:270:07:31

There's one now. Rattus, you must love this game.

0:07:310:07:34

I do love it. I love this game for a whole myriad of reasons.

0:07:340:07:38

My fleas are a couple of millimetres across,

0:07:380:07:41

whereas these fleas are, in fact, humongous!

0:07:410:07:44

Yes, these fleas have been fed quite a lot of human growth hormone

0:07:440:07:48

to get them up to the size required. Not strictly legal, but we enjoy it.

0:07:480:07:53

-Melissa's managed to catch one of the bugs on her hair.

-You're right.

0:07:530:07:57

There's one hanging on to the edge of her wig. It's a bit off-putting.

0:07:570:08:01

-But it will of course count towards her final total.

-It certainly will.

0:08:010:08:06

I wonder if they want to catch some of MY bugs?

0:08:060:08:09

-They're small, but perfectly formed.

-They're disgusting.

0:08:090:08:13

-Don't you go near the contestants with them.

-30 seconds remaining.

0:08:130:08:17

This is the only show on network television

0:08:170:08:21

where children are encouraged to catch lice!

0:08:210:08:24

It's so wrong, it's right.

0:08:240:08:26

Talking of lice, there's another one on Melissa's head.

0:08:260:08:30

She's got two now on that wig alone.

0:08:300:08:33

A lot of these fleas seem to pop in

0:08:330:08:35

and bounce out as they reach for other ones.

0:08:350:08:38

Fleas bounce all over the place whereas lice stay where they are.

0:08:380:08:42

-You can't get rid of them even with a preparatory cream.

-You can't.

0:08:420:08:46

And a third flea now on Melissa's wig.

0:08:460:08:49

We're coming towards the end of this game.

0:08:490:08:52

-HOOTER

-It's all over.

-That is the end.

0:08:520:08:55

And looking at that, I can tell you that the score is 35, 31, 20.

0:08:550:08:59

-Extraordinary!

-I know.

0:08:590:09:01

Back behind your podiums, please. That was tremendous.

0:09:010:09:05

That was a tremendous effort,

0:09:050:09:08

but the winner with 35 bugs was Dionne.

0:09:080:09:11

Help yourself to another Year Sphere.

0:09:110:09:14

Two Year Spheres. None for the other two, but plenty of time to catch up.

0:09:140:09:19

To find out who's up next, it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:09:190:09:22

It's the Vile Victorians. Good day.

0:09:220:09:25

And here are your all-important Victorian topics.

0:09:250:09:29

-Melissa, you pick first.

-Florence Nightingale.

0:09:340:09:37

True or false? Famous nurse Florence Nightingale used to have a pet ferret

0:09:390:09:44

which she kept in her pocket.

0:09:440:09:46

Melissa and Lloyd going for "false", Dionne for "true".

0:09:460:09:50

-Let's find out what the answer is.

-It's false.

0:09:500:09:53

Florence used to keep a pet owl in her pocket who she called Athena.

0:09:530:09:57

-That's a nice name.

-Right, Lloyd, your turn to pick a topic.

0:09:570:10:02

-Gadgets, please.

-Gadgets. And that is a prop question.

0:10:020:10:06

It's a prop question. Look at that!

0:10:060:10:09

That is a genuine Victorian contraption

0:10:090:10:12

for removing rotten teeth.

0:10:120:10:15

Is that true or false?

0:10:150:10:17

The girls are going for "false", Lloyd out on his own with "true".

0:10:180:10:22

The answer is..."false".

0:10:220:10:25

Unfortunately. It is in fact for peeling peaches, believe it or not.

0:10:250:10:31

Or you could leave the peaches to rot,

0:10:310:10:34

then suck 'em up with a straw. Delish!

0:10:340:10:38

That's if you're a rat. There's the scores.

0:10:380:10:40

Melissa, you lead this round with two points.

0:10:400:10:44

Dionne and Lloyd, you have a point apiece.

0:10:440:10:47

-Dionne, your turn to choose next.

-Poetry, please.

0:10:470:10:51

What do you think? Is this true or false?

0:10:520:10:56

Everybody has gone for "true". Interesting.

0:11:040:11:09

The fact of the matter is it's...true.

0:11:090:11:13

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:11:130:11:16

There once was a poet most smart

0:11:160:11:19

Whose lyrics were praised as high art

0:11:190:11:21

He mimed doing a poo on an imaginary loo

0:11:210:11:24

But one thing was real...

0:11:240:11:27

-THRRP!

-His far...

-Thank you, thank you.

0:11:270:11:30

-Thank you, Rattus.

-Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:11:300:11:32

You're in the lead, Melissa. One question left this round.

0:11:320:11:36

It's a question on Queen Victoria.

0:11:360:11:38

True or false? Queen Victoria was the shortest monarch in British history.

0:11:380:11:44

So was Queen Victoria the shortest adult monarch in British history?

0:11:440:11:49

Let's see your answers now, please.

0:11:490:11:51

Everybody has gone for "true". Let's find out.

0:11:510:11:55

It's true. Victoria was only five foot tall.

0:11:550:11:58

I guess that old crown added a few inches.

0:11:580:12:01

I could do with one myself. I'm four foot five.

0:12:010:12:04

Short in stature, long in reign.

0:12:040:12:07

After that round, Melissa, you've scored four out of four.

0:12:070:12:10

You've won a Year Sphere. Congratulations.

0:12:100:12:13

Melissa, as the winner of the quiz,

0:12:150:12:18

you're through to play the Victorian Game,

0:12:180:12:22

but will it be just you or will the others get to play too?

0:12:220:12:26

It's a Single Play Brainy Game.

0:12:280:12:31

Melissa, it's off down the Time Sewer with you on your own.

0:12:310:12:35

It really does stink.

0:12:350:12:37

DAVE COUGHS

0:12:380:12:41

Crikey!

0:12:410:12:43

Eccentric Victorian William Buckland loved natural history

0:12:450:12:49

and filled his house with every kind of animal, then ate them all.

0:12:490:12:53

He ate all sorts of unusual foods like, for instance, mouse on toast.

0:12:530:12:57

-It's time to play...

-Foul Food.

0:12:570:13:00

Seven bizarre foodstuffs then,

0:13:000:13:03

but two weren't eaten by Barmy Buckland.

0:13:030:13:05

Work out which five things he consumed.

0:13:050:13:08

Choose five and move them to the "eaten" board,

0:13:080:13:12

then touch the mouse on toast to find out how many you've got right.

0:13:120:13:16

Keep trying until you've got all five, but you're against the clock.

0:13:160:13:20

-Your time starts now.

-HOOTER

0:13:200:13:23

So then, what does Melissa think that Barmy Buckland used to eat?

0:13:230:13:28

Her first choice, I can tell you, is roast giraffe. Interesting.

0:13:280:13:32

It could be. It might not be. We just don't know at this stage.

0:13:320:13:36

The mummified heart of Louis XIV, an elephant's trunk.

0:13:360:13:40

What a varied diet he had!

0:13:400:13:42

If this is right, what an extraordinary diet the man had!

0:13:420:13:46

Stewed bluebottles is next. She's doing very well.

0:13:460:13:50

She's doing this quickly. A mole, on to the mouse on toast.

0:13:500:13:54

-'You have all five right.'

-She's done it already. Extraordinary!

0:13:540:13:58

-Here, I've got your tea. Is she ready to start?

-It's finished.

-What?

0:13:580:14:03

Melissa, help yourself to a Year Sphere. Buckland didn't eat a dodo,

0:14:030:14:07

a species which had died out long before Buckland was born.

0:14:070:14:11

Nor did he eat the mummified toe of Pharaoh Tutankhamen

0:14:110:14:15

whose tomb was discovered after Buckland died.

0:14:150:14:18

But Buckland really did eat all the others,

0:14:180:14:21

including the mummified heart of Louis XIV. Eugh!

0:14:210:14:25

Apparently he said, "I have eaten many strange things,

0:14:250:14:29

"but have never eaten the heart of a king before."

0:14:290:14:33

Nor I, to my knowledge,

0:14:330:14:35

but who knows what meat they put in a hot dog?

0:14:350:14:38

Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.

0:14:380:14:42

It's the Measly Middle Ages.

0:14:420:14:44

Four questions and here are your four Middle Ages topics.

0:14:440:14:48

-Lloyd, it's your turn to pick first. Pick a topic.

-Monks, please.

0:14:530:14:57

One wise monk wrote all about Britain's early history.

0:14:580:15:03

His name was Bede, but by what name is he better known?

0:15:030:15:07

The girls are going for B's, Lloyd out on his own with an "A".

0:15:160:15:21

-Let's see who's right.

-The answer is "A", the Venerable Bede,

0:15:210:15:25

which means he was admired and respected.

0:15:250:15:28

-Much like the Venerable Dave.

-What do you want, Rattus?

0:15:280:15:31

Nothing. Well, can I have a go in your jacuzzi?

0:15:310:15:35

-It's not a jacuzzi, it's a toilet.

-I know, but can I anyway?

-Go ahead.

0:15:350:15:39

Lloyd, you've got one point on the board already.

0:15:390:15:43

-Dionne, it's your turn to choose a topic.

-Cures.

0:15:430:15:47

Oh, it's a prop question. Let's see it. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:15:470:15:52

There it is. This is a magpie's beak.

0:15:520:15:57

Why would a person from the Middle Ages wear it around their neck?

0:15:570:16:01

Would it be "A", for good luck,

0:16:010:16:03

"B", to cure toothache, or "C", to ward off demons and ghosts?

0:16:030:16:08

You've all gone for "C". You think it's to ward off demons and ghosts.

0:16:100:16:14

Well, I can tell you that the actual answer is "B".

0:16:140:16:18

It's a cure for toothache.

0:16:180:16:20

Dave doesn't need a cure.

0:16:200:16:23

He's got false teeth. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:16:230:16:26

-OK, you're on a final warning now.

-Again?

-Yeah, again.

0:16:260:16:30

-Melissa, your turn to choose a topic.

-Can I have Sport?

-Sport.

0:16:300:16:34

A man called John Rivers found his lord's hunting hawk on the roof

0:16:360:16:40

of his house, but failed to report it. What was his punishment?

0:16:400:16:44

"A", he was fined 100 shillings, "B", he had one of his hands cut off,

0:16:440:16:49

or "C", he had flesh cut from his chest and fed to the hawk?

0:16:490:16:53

Very interesting.

0:16:530:16:55

Lloyd and Dionne going for C's, Melissa for "B". Who's right?

0:16:550:17:00

The answer is "C". He had six ounces of flesh cut from his chest

0:17:000:17:05

and fed to the hawk. I'm guessing he didn't do that again.

0:17:050:17:08

Even that makes ME feel queasy! Eugh!

0:17:080:17:12

Hold it in, Rattus. I don't want to see any sick on the table. Good man.

0:17:120:17:16

OK, through to the final question of this round.

0:17:160:17:19

Lloyd, you can't be caught by Melissa, but you can be by Dionne.

0:17:190:17:23

The final question is on Kings. Let's hear what it is.

0:17:230:17:27

Richard the Lionheart was King of England for ten years,

0:17:270:17:31

but during this time, how long was he in England?

0:17:310:17:34

Dionne and Lloyd going for "C", Melissa for "A".

0:17:390:17:43

-Let's find out what the answer is.

-"C", 6 months.

0:17:430:17:47

He spent all his time crusading because he hated England.

0:17:470:17:51

I guess he wasn't a big fan of rain and mud.

0:17:510:17:55

At the end of that round, Lloyd, you have won your first Year Sphere.

0:17:550:17:59

Congratulations. So, Lloyd, you're going to play the Middle Ages Game.

0:17:590:18:04

But will it be All Play or will you be playing on your own?

0:18:040:18:08

It's a Single Player Silly Game.

0:18:120:18:15

So, Lloyd, get down that Time Sewer.

0:18:150:18:18

Aagh!

0:18:190:18:20

And he was gone.

0:18:200:18:22

It's the court of King Louis XI of France in the 1400s.

0:18:260:18:30

He has just been delivered a musical instrument

0:18:300:18:33

which has never been seen before.

0:18:330:18:35

-It's time to play the...

-Pig Piano.

0:18:350:18:38

The instrument consisted of pigs of different sizes and a keyboard.

0:18:380:18:42

Play a key and a little spike would prick a piggy and make it squeal.

0:18:420:18:47

The larger the pig, the deeper the squeal. You have to listen to

0:18:470:18:51

and repeat a sequence of squeals.

0:18:510:18:54

The sequence will get one squeal longer each time.

0:18:540:18:57

Correctly repeat nine squeals within the time limit to win a Year Sphere.

0:18:570:19:01

Get one note wrong and... well, you'll find out.

0:19:010:19:05

-Let's get squealing.

-HOOTER

0:19:050:19:09

So, Lloyd attempts Pig Piano. Here comes his first sequence.

0:19:090:19:14

He's got to replicate that to stay in the game.

0:19:140:19:17

One mistake and it's all over. I have to reiterate that.

0:19:170:19:22

-He's made a good start, Rattus.

-He's made an excellent start, Dave.

0:19:220:19:26

My fear is if he goes wrong cos these pigs have been eating

0:19:260:19:29

-chocolate ice cream and raw onions all morning.

-That's terrible news.

0:19:290:19:34

If he does go wrong, something unspeakable happens.

0:19:340:19:37

But he's not gone wrong yet. That's four.

0:19:370:19:40

He's done the second sequence, moving on to five.

0:19:400:19:44

SQUEALING

0:19:440:19:47

Now it's up to Lloyd to repeat that.

0:19:470:19:50

Yes, a good start.

0:19:500:19:52

The fourth and I think the fifth one was the green. Oh, no!

0:19:540:19:59

He's gone wrong. No, get out of the way!

0:19:590:20:02

He's swerved out of the way of it. He's cleverly avoided that.

0:20:020:20:07

That pig is having the most confusing poo I've ever seen!

0:20:070:20:11

Welcome back, Lloyd. Take your place behind your podium. Bad luck.

0:20:130:20:18

There have been numerous reports of the Pig Piano throughout history.

0:20:180:20:22

-They've had different names like the Hog Harmonium.

-The Swine-Away.

0:20:220:20:26

-The Pig Organ.

-The Pigano.

0:20:260:20:29

If you'd like instructions on how to build your own Pig Piano,

0:20:290:20:33

I'll report you to the RSPCA!

0:20:330:20:35

-Ha-ha-ha!

-I will do it. Don't test me on that one.

0:20:350:20:39

Lloyd, that was extraordinary.

0:20:390:20:41

-I liked the way you swerved the poo at the end.

-Yeah, spoilsport!

0:20:410:20:46

We were looking forward to seeing someone getting covered in poo.

0:20:460:20:49

But you body-swerved it nicely. It's the final round.

0:20:490:20:53

Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.

0:20:530:20:57

It's the Vicious Vikings.

0:20:570:20:59

So, no quirky quiz in our final round.

0:20:590:21:02

It's straight to our big All Play Viking End Game

0:21:020:21:05

and it's a scary one.

0:21:050:21:07

Let's see you get down that Time Sewer one last time.

0:21:070:21:11

Eugh!

0:21:110:21:12

Eugh!

0:21:160:21:17

You never get used to it. It's revolting.

0:21:170:21:20

-It stinks in here.

-Eugh!

0:21:200:21:23

Picture the scene. It's 793 AD.

0:21:230:21:28

You are a monk busy minding your own business

0:21:280:21:31

on the island monastery of Lindisfarne

0:21:310:21:34

when suddenly... "Raaaargh!"

0:21:340:21:37

You've got some unwanted visitors.

0:21:370:21:40

-It's time to play...

-Viking Attack.

0:21:400:21:44

Your only hope of survival is that the Vikings won't hear you,

0:21:440:21:48

so you'd better not step on a squeaky floorboard.

0:21:480:21:52

You have to find the one squeak-free path through the wooden panels.

0:21:520:21:56

Step on a squeaky one and you'll be sent back to the start.

0:21:560:22:00

Reach the end of the path and you are faced with two doors.

0:22:000:22:04

Choose well. Behind one is freedom, behind the other is... "Raargh!"

0:22:040:22:08

The Viking fella with the thing.

0:22:080:22:10

-Sounded like a weasel with a throat infection.

-It's a Viking.

0:22:100:22:14

Find him and you have to start all over again. Ready, steady...

0:22:140:22:18

-HOOTER

-So here we go with Viking Attack.

0:22:180:22:21

A very cagey start. One or two squeaky floorboards instantly.

0:22:210:22:25

A one in three chance of getting it right with that first step.

0:22:250:22:30

Dionne there has made the first step, but not the second.

0:22:300:22:34

It's difficult because there's a one in three chance all the way up.

0:22:340:22:39

It's a game of trial and error and you have to remember your errors.

0:22:390:22:44

-FLOORBOARD SQUEAKS

-As Melissa hasn't done there.

0:22:440:22:47

We should have called this game Hide And Squeak, Dave.

0:22:470:22:50

Yes. Why?

0:22:500:22:53

Never mind. Dionne seems to be having trouble

0:22:530:22:57

working out her first step, which is extraordinary.

0:22:570:23:00

Lloyd halfway along now. Lovely.

0:23:000:23:02

Those monks at the back are keeping a close watch on proceedings.

0:23:020:23:07

It's their monastery, after all. I thought Lloyd was getting close.

0:23:070:23:11

Those doors at the end, they've got two doors each to choose from.

0:23:110:23:15

Behind one door lies freedom,

0:23:150:23:18

-behind the other, an axe-wielding, homicidal maniac.

-Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:23:180:23:22

Obviously, you're after freedom.

0:23:220:23:25

I said it would be good if they had to duck flying Viking axes as well.

0:23:250:23:29

-I remember. I was at that meeting.

-Didn't go for it.

-No, they didn't.

0:23:290:23:33

Just as you think they're doing well, a little mistake creeps in.

0:23:330:23:37

-I think, Dave, you're cursing them.

-I think maybe I am.

0:23:370:23:41

I think maybe I should stop saying the words "doing well".

0:23:410:23:44

Look at that, Dionne's...

0:23:440:23:47

Even if I don't say them, I curse them. Even if I just think them.

0:23:470:23:52

In that case, I'm going to have to control my mind very, very closely.

0:23:520:23:56

What am I talking about? My mind's not having any influence on this!

0:23:560:24:00

Here's Lloyd. Come on, Lloyd. You're doing very well.

0:24:000:24:04

Oh, no! Dionne?

0:24:040:24:06

Oh, dear. Someone must get there eventually.

0:24:060:24:09

And Melissa could be that person. This is very impressive.

0:24:090:24:13

Just one more step to go and she's there.

0:24:130:24:16

Melissa has made it through. This is where it gets very interesting.

0:24:160:24:21

-It's a 50/50 chance. Oh, it's freedom!

-Excellent.

-Freedom!

0:24:210:24:25

And she's celebrating, rather than being carried off on a stretcher.

0:24:250:24:29

Melissa, go and help yourself to another Year Sphere. Fantastic.

0:24:300:24:35

When Lindisfarne was attacked, monks got away

0:24:350:24:38

with one of their most holy relics - the body of St Cuthbert.

0:24:380:24:41

They carried it around for seven years, so the Vikings didn't get it.

0:24:410:24:45

I've been carrying someone for years too.

0:24:450:24:49

Are you saying I'm not up to the job?

0:24:490:24:52

No, I was talking about Marcus, my flea, but now you mention it...

0:24:520:24:56

Time to count up those Year Spheres.

0:24:570:25:00

AD years are added to your total and BC years are subtracted from it.

0:25:000:25:06

Dionne, start us off. Could you open up your first Year Sphere?

0:25:060:25:10

Let's find out what's inside.

0:25:100:25:13

1871 AD, the year that Queen Victoria opened the Albert Hall.

0:25:140:25:19

1587 AD, the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots.

0:25:220:25:27

But that gives you an excellent, excellent total of 3458.

0:25:270:25:33

Melissa, let's see what you've got in your first sphere.

0:25:330:25:37

1305 AD, the execution of William Wallace.

0:25:370:25:40

1770 AD.

0:25:420:25:45

Captain Cook claims Australia for Britain in that year.

0:25:450:25:49

That gives you a running total at the moment of 3075.

0:25:490:25:53

You need just under 400 positive years to beat Dionne.

0:25:530:25:58

Let's open that next sphere.

0:25:580:26:01

Oh, my word! It's 10,000 BC!

0:26:020:26:05

Stone Age Man first domesticated dogs about then.

0:26:050:26:10

But that's no consolation, is it, Melissa?

0:26:100:26:13

And you've ended up with a total of minus 6925.

0:26:130:26:18

Lloyd, let's see what you've got in your Year Sphere.

0:26:180:26:21

It's 2,500 BC!

0:26:220:26:26

The stones were added to Stonehenge that year.

0:26:260:26:29

That means today's winner with 3,458 points is Dionne.

0:26:290:26:33

Congratulations, Dionne.

0:26:330:26:35

Excellent. Who goes home with our star prize.

0:26:350:26:38

Today's prize is not like the prizes on any other game show,

0:26:380:26:42

which is a shame because it's some old rubbish

0:26:420:26:45

that Rattus dragged out of the Time Sewer. What have we got?

0:26:450:26:49

Well, you certainly can't say that this prize is pointless.

0:26:490:26:53

In fact, it couldn't have more of a point if it tried.

0:26:530:26:57

Yeah? It's the tip of a Roman gladiator's spear.

0:26:570:27:00

Roman ladies believed it was good luck to comb their hair

0:27:000:27:04

with the spear of a dead gladiator.

0:27:040:27:07

Exactly how does combing your hair with a spear constitute good luck?

0:27:070:27:11

It does if you've always wanted hair

0:27:110:27:13

-that's matted with congealed gladiator blood.

-Yeah.

0:27:130:27:16

Well, con-RAT-ulations, Dionne.

0:27:160:27:20

-There you go, Dionne. So sorry about the blood on it.

-Thank you.

0:27:200:27:24

Maybe you could display it somewhere you can't see it.

0:27:240:27:28

Thanks to our winner, Dionne.

0:27:280:27:31

Thanks to our runners-up, Melissa and Lloyd.

0:27:310:27:35

-And no thanks whatsoever to Rattus.

-I aim to please.

0:27:350:27:38

You've been watching Gory Games. Goodbye.

0:27:380:27:41
