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 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 Histories Gory Games
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# Horrible Histories Gory...
0:00:23 > 0:00:24# Games! #
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Hello and welcome to Gory Games,
0:00:26 > 0:00:29with me, Dave Lamb, and my assistant, Rattus Rattus.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33And I think you'll agree, Dave, that I've never looked better.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I spent a day at the rat health spa, went to the steam room,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39had a mud treatment, and then a nice dip in the plunge pool.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Which I'm guessing means the sewer, an old puddle,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44- and you fell in the canal. - I didn't know you were a member!
0:00:44 > 0:00:45DAVE SIGHS
0:00:45 > 0:00:48This is the foul-smelling fun fest that tests your knowledge
0:00:48 > 0:00:51of Horrible Histories with quirky quizzes and Gory Games.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54So, let's meet the Horrible Historians
0:00:54 > 0:00:56who'll be facing the filth today.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hi, I'm Georgia.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Hi, I'm Paramvir.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Hi, I'm Olivia. - Welcome, one and all.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Right, let's get things underway with a Stone Age warm-up game
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- I've come up with myself.- Oh, no.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09It's called Guess The Animal.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Oh. Actually, that sounds like it might be quite a nice game.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17One of these creatures was a giant bear called a mega bear. Mmm.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19If a caveman was lucky enough to kill one,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22they'd eat the whole thing, even the contents of the stomach.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Oh, I think I feel a headache coming on.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27So I've emptied out a mega bear's stomach
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and all our contestants have to do
0:01:29 > 0:01:32is see how many of the semi-digested animals you can identify
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- by eating them. - I am not having children
0:01:35 > 0:01:38eating half-digested animals from a bear's stomach.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Come on, it's not like you haven't.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41What?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Well, what do you think was in that curry I made the other night?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Oh...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Oh, dear. Excuse me a second. Sorry.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Chicken! Dave, it was just chicken!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Ha-ha-ha! No, it wasn't.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Any more of your tricks and I'll tell Pest Control where you are.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Yes...
0:02:01 > 0:02:07Right, Georgia, Paramvir and Olivia, you are playing to win Year Spheres.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Each Year Sphere contains a historical date.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12At the end of the show, your Year Sphere dates will be added up
0:02:12 > 0:02:15with AD dates being added to your total
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and BC dates being subtracted from it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21So, if these were your Year Spheres, for example, your total would be...
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Rattus?- Three.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25No, not quite.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score
0:02:28 > 0:02:30will win a unique historical prize.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33And it's something specially picked out of the time sewers
0:02:33 > 0:02:37by my own fair paws, which gives you some idea of how good it is.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Or rather how bad it is.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Right, let's get this show on the road.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44And to find out what this round's about, it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It's the Rotten Romans.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Four questions on Rotten Romans coming up.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And your four Roman topics are...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Georgia, you get to pick first in this round.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- What are you going to go for? - Legends.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Legends.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10According to legend, Rome was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14But what animal is said to have acted as a mother to the twins?
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Was it...
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Let's see those answers now, please.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Look at that, Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on C,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Georgia's out on her own with B. Let's find out.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34The answer is B. A wolf acted as their mother.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well done, Georgia, you're up and running.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Paramvir, it's your turn to choose a topic.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40I pick food.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Food.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48Roman Emperor Elagabalus once served 600 what at a dinner party?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51A, ostrich brains,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53B, rat brains,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Or C, lion brains.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, complete agreement, they've all gone for A.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Let's find out if they're all right.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04The answer is A, ostrich brains.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Ah, rat brains aren't even a good appetiser.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Oi, cheeky!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Well, they're far too small! Ha-ha.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14OK, Olivia, your turn to pick a topic.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Nero.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Nero.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Prrrop question! Prop question! Prop question!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Prop question! Prop question! - Enough.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Prop question! Prop...- Enough. Good.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Evil Emperor Nero had his wife, Octavia, murdered.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31But what did he do with her head?
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Did he... A, have it sent to his new girlfriend,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36B, hang it in his dining room,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Or C, throw it into the River Tiber.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Well, look at that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on A,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Georgia out on her own with C.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46The answer is...
0:04:46 > 0:04:51A, he had his wife's head sent to his new girlfriend, Poppaea.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54So now we have a three-way tie.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57OK, one more question left in this round, it is on money
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and this is what it is.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Here comes your question, ready or not.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Complete spread of different answers there, on show.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Let's see who's right.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18The answer is...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23That's right, Roman soldiers were paid in salt,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27and that's where we get the word "salary" from.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Yeah, the rat knows all. Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Oh, ah, trolley time!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, that decisive question
0:05:33 > 0:05:36means that the winner of the first Year Sphere is Georgia.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Push, push, push, push!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It's a heavy trolley... Push, push, push.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Georgia, come and choose your Year Sphere.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Any one you like. But be warned. If it's a Stone Age date inside,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51that could mean a few million points to be subtracted from your score
0:05:51 > 0:05:54by someone who's better at maths than me.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Push, push, push, push....
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Now, winning the quiz means that Georgia is automatically through
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to play the Roman game.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03But will she be alone, or will everyone get to play?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Let's find out.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It's an All Play Gory Game.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So, it's off down the time sewer with the lot of you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Woo!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Ah. No!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Bye, Dave!- Bye. Breathe deeply.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28These days, getting into an ancient fortress will cost you
0:06:28 > 0:06:30about five quid, plus the price of the guide book.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34But back in Roman times, it would cost some people their very lives.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35It's time to play...
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yes, if Romans wanted to get into an enemy fortress,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43they would use catapults to fire all sorts of awful things,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46such as heavy rocks, hives of stinging bees
0:06:46 > 0:06:48and even the severed heads of dead enemies.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Your challenge is to fire as many missiles
0:06:50 > 0:06:53into your fortress target as possible.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The person who gets the most in the time limit wins the Year Sphere.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59So, catapults at the ready. In three, two, one...
0:06:59 > 0:07:00HORN BLARES
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Here we go, then, with Savage Siege, and the head
0:07:03 > 0:07:05coming straight out of the basket there for Olivia
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and it's gone...and it's in!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12She'd landed it, and so did Georgia over the other side.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Oh, well, Georgia's actually dropped her head on the floor.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18That's, er, that's not what we're after at all.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Oh, it goes again, what a slippery head! That must be covered
0:07:21 > 0:07:24in margarine, Rattus, I don't know what's going on.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Can she keep this one in the catapult?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, she can! And look at that,
0:07:28 > 0:07:30she only has to keep it in the catapult to land it,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33it would seem. Tremendous stuff from both the girls, actually.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Paramvir, however, hasn't made a brilliant start.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37He is lagging behind.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40There's a sad-looking empty net there for Paramvir.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Two-each for the girls. He's going to have to try and find
0:07:43 > 0:07:45his target and find it quickly
0:07:45 > 0:07:47or he's going to be out of this completely.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Well... Oh, there we are! There we go. He swaps to a rock
0:07:51 > 0:07:52and immediately he lands one.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Well, there's a lesson there for Paramvir.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57The rocks fly well for the lad.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Do they ever! That's two he's got.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Superb! What a recovery, he's back in this. Three!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Paramvir's gone rock crazy!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07It's rock, rock, rock all the way from Paramvir,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and he's right back in this.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13It's a three-way tie, this is very exciting. Paramvir's in the lead!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Well, this is absolutely remarkable.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18He was so far behind and now he leads...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And now he's going crazy! Well, he's just showing off now.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23He's got five rocks on the trot...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Six! This is extraordinary.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I've never seen anything like this, he has nailed six rocks.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- GONG CHIMES - 30 seconds remaining.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Six rocks in consecutive shots, that was extraordinary.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36But, 30 seconds remaining. There's Paramvir with his trusty rock.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Seven rocks.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42But very nice from Olivia, keeping pace with him there.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Another rock on its way.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Oh, he's landed another one!
0:08:46 > 0:08:47It was off, it bounced off the side
0:08:47 > 0:08:50of the rear and it was straight in.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Paramvir, an exp... Hang on, he's put one in Olivia's basket!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57That won't count. Don't panic, don't you worry about that.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58'Time's up.'
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And it's all over! It's all over.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04And Paramvir may not roll, but, boy, does he rock!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06'Horrible Histories Gory Games!'
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Back behind your podiums, please.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Well played, everybody.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- In first place was Paramvir with eight.- Yeah!
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Yeah! So help yourself to a Year Sphere, Paramvir, well played.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20When the Romans laid siege to the Gaulish stronghold of Avaricum,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23the Gauls put up a great fight and only gave up
0:09:23 > 0:09:25because it started to rain.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28The Gauls thought the downpour was a sign that the gods were angry
0:09:28 > 0:09:31with them. So they gave up and ran away.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, I can understand that, Dave, rain's a pretty terrifying thing.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- No, it isn't.- It is when you live in a storm drain.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Er, well, no, fair enough. Under those circumstances, I suppose.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42On to round two.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45And to find out what's up next, it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46It's the Frightful First World War.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Four questions again, and here are your all-important
0:09:49 > 0:09:51World War One topics.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58And Paramvir, it's your turn to pick first in this round.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- So what's it going to be? - Food again.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Food again. That is a prop question.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08That is a very syrupy coffee in a World War One mug. If you will.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11True or false? When coffee supplies ran out,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14people in Germany drank fake coffee
0:10:14 > 0:10:16made with coal tar.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Let's see those answers now, please.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22OK, Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on true.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Georgia has gone for false. I can tell you...
0:10:25 > 0:10:29it's true. They also made it out of roasted acorns or beech nuts
0:10:29 > 0:10:30or even turnips.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33You know, hot water and turnip is one of my favourite brews.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34It is.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Really?- True.- Fascinating. Let's move on, though.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Olivia, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Um, pigeons.- Pigeons.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43True or false?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47The British Army used messenger pigeons to send messages,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51so the Germans trained hawks and falcons to attack them.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Everybody's gone for true. Let's find out if they're right.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00It's true! The Germans had squadrons of birds of prey,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03who would be used to catch any pigeon flying back to Britain.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06So next time you're scoffing a rotting pigeon,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- remember what they did for us during the war.- I almost feel bad.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Almost. OK, Georgia, your turn to pick a topic.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Let's go for boots.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Boots is a question from Rattus Rattus.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20I thank you. True or false?
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Soldiers softened the tough leather of their boots by pouring
0:11:25 > 0:11:26tomato ketchup on them.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Everybody has gone for false.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Total agreement once again. Are they all right, Rattus?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Yes, it's false! They used to wee on them. Ha-ha-ha!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39It really softened the leather and, as an added bonus,
0:11:39 > 0:11:41made them stink of wee. Ha!
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Yes.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46OK. One question left. Georgia, you can still catch up in this round.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48The final question in this round is on tights.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51True or false?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Scottish soldiers in World War One wore ladies' tights
0:11:54 > 0:11:57to protect their legs during poison gas attacks.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Well, Georgia's gone for false.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Paramvir and Olivia have agreed on true. Let's find out who's right.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10It's true! The tights helped stop poison gas from burning their skin.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13At the end of that round, Georgia, I'm afraid you're not playing
0:12:13 > 0:12:18in this tie-break, but Paramvir and Olivia, two maximums.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Tremendous, you can't get better than that. So, fingers on buzzers.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26Beginning with T, what is the name of the ditches soldiers had...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- PHRRT! - Paramvir.- Trench.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Trenches is right. Well done, Paramvir.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Paramvir, as the quiz winner, you're also through
0:12:36 > 0:12:38to play the World War One game.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42But will it be just you, or will the others get to play too?
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Let's find out.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48It's a Single Player Silly Game,
0:12:48 > 0:12:52and it's waiting for you at the end of that time sewer.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54To the time sewer at the double. Sir!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Back in World War One, there was one enemy
0:13:03 > 0:13:06who would infiltrate your trench every single night,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and that enemy was rats.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10They were probably just being friendly.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14A likely story. Well, I'm afraid the soldiers weren't very friendly back.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15It's time to play...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Just like the soldiers in those muddy trenches,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23you've got to start splatting some rats.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Whack 15 rats with your spade within the time limit
0:13:26 > 0:13:29to win the Year Sphere. And your time starts now!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32So, Paramvir wields his shovel, he's straight off the mark there,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35excellent start. Those are very thick eyebrows for a rat.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Quite rightly he's been bashed in the face.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Rattus is horrified by what he's seeing.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43He's gone mute, which, you know,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44is a bonus for me.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45There's the one with the hat!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47That would've been a regular army tin hat.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Remember, this is the First World War.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Everyone would have worn hats.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Probably not the rats, thinking about it,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58but, er, tin hats nonetheless. And Paramvir now up to five strikes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Oh, just a bit too slow across there.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- '30 seconds remaining.' - He's not looking over here...
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Oh, he's sidled over!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh, what technique!
0:14:06 > 0:14:08He came over sideways without giving them the eye
0:14:08 > 0:14:10and they thought they were perfectly safe
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and then he absolutely hammered them.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Back with the wall bopper here, and this is your...
0:14:16 > 0:14:18This is your meat and drink.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Oh, Dave, I have to say, those rats are like family.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25In fact, some of them are! Uncle Duke! Uncle Fred!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Well, with a name like Uncle Duke,
0:14:27 > 0:14:29he probably deserves everything he gets.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30'Time's up.'
0:14:30 > 0:14:34And it's all over! And Paramvir has scored 12.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Not enough for a Year Sphere.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38'Horrible Histories Gory Games!'
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Welcome back, Paramvir. Bad luck.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Put yourself behind your podium.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47A very good score, 12, just not quite enough for the Year Sphere.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- How did you find it? - Hard, challenging, but fun.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52Well played, a very good effort.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Four questions as always, and here are your four Middle Ages topics.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Olivia, it's your turn to pick first this time.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Um, I'm going to go for Black Death.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Black Death.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16What did so-called flagellants in the Middle Ages do
0:15:16 > 0:15:18to try and stop the Black Death?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20A, they ate nothing but spiders' legs,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23B, they whipped themselves for 33 days,
0:15:23 > 0:15:26or C, they ate stinging nettles.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Let's see those answers now, please.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Everybody's gone for B, complete agreement. Are they all right?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38The answer is B, they whipped themselves for 33 days.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Oh, I'd happily eat nothing but spiders' legs. Delish!
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Yes... So, Georgia, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Let's go for crime. - Let's go for crime.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53King Edward I's crown jewels were stolen from Westminster Abbey by...
0:15:53 > 0:15:55A, a gang of monks,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58B, a gang of schoolchildren,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00or C, his own guards.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04OK, complete agreement yet again.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06So, are they all right this time?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The answer is A, a gang of monks.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11And they got away with it too,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13because monks were exempt from the law.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Which is no longer the case, for any monks watching!
0:16:16 > 0:16:19No points in that question, but a point apiece,
0:16:19 > 0:16:20so still all to play for.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Paramvir, I believe it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I've picked 1066.
0:16:25 > 0:16:261066.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It's a right tricky one, this.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Look at that, Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on A.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Georgia out on her own with C. Let's find out who's right.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Here you go, the answer is...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Yes, though Harold's bodyguards,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03the Housecarls, didn't do too good a job. Because he died.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06They might've done a good job of guarding his body after he was dead.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Not really the point of bodyguards, Rattus.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14So there we go, one question left in this round, and it is on popes.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19What was the name of the pope during the First Crusade in 1095?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Ah, everybody going for B, which is Pope Urban II.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Let's find out if they're right.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40So, points all round. But because Georgia got that one right,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43she has just won herself another Year Sphere.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Georgia, you are through to play the Middle Ages game.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50But will it be just you, or is everyone else coming along?
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Let's find out.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's a Single Player Silly Game.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00So, Georgia, off down the time sewer with you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Woo-hoo!
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Off she goes.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07It's time to go to France in the 1400s
0:18:07 > 0:18:09to the court of King Louis XI, who has just
0:18:09 > 0:18:13been delivered a surprising and original musical instrument.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14It's time to play the...
0:18:16 > 0:18:19The instrument consisted of pigs of different sizes and a keyboard.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Play a key and a little spike would prick a piggy and make it squeal.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The larger the pig, the deeper the squeal.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Your challenge is to listen to and repeat a sequence of piggy squeals.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31The sequence will get one squeal longer each time.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Correctly repeat nine squeals within the time limit to win a Year Sphere.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Get one note wrong, however, and you're history.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Let's get squealing. - HORN BLARES
0:18:41 > 0:18:42PIGS SQUEAL
0:18:42 > 0:18:45So, here goes Georgia attempting to play the Pig Piano,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and the first sequence begins.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51PIGS SQUEAL
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Lovely start. Of course, this piano not so much a Steinway as a Styway.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Rattus...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Rattus... Oh, please yourself.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Second sequence complete.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08She's doing very well. She's made an excellent start.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Can I just apologise for my Styway comment there?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Er, unfortunately I read Rattus' joke book. It won't happen again.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17PIGS SQUEAL
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Georgia moving through this challenge effortlessly
0:19:24 > 0:19:26at the moment.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- PHRRT! - Hello, the little one's just let
0:19:29 > 0:19:32one go, and what a cloud of parp that was.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36It came out of his backside like a small tornado of guff.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41But it's not put Georgia off in the slightest.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45What concentration! What concentration she's showing here!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Amazing, she seems to be impervious to the smell of piggy wind.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Maybe she's from a long line of pig farmers.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Now, how's she going to get on with this one?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57PIGS SQUEAL
0:19:57 > 0:20:02She's doing extremely well, pressing the right combination.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05And if she were to make a mistake, Rattus, it'd be poo time.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07One can only hope that's what's going to happen, Dave.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Well, it is always nice to see the contestants
0:20:10 > 0:20:12covered from head to foot in poo,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14but you've got to admire the technique
0:20:14 > 0:20:16and the sheer brain power here.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18She's just remembering stuff.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24And, Rattus, I'm beginning to wonder whether that Alice band
0:20:24 > 0:20:27she's wearing, as well as making her hair look lovely,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30does it actually hold her massive brain in place?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Well, be that as it may, this is her last sequence.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36She's studying it very carefully, and here she goes.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Nice. Nice.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39And nice.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Very nice. Nice.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Eh, oh, now... Now, there's a hesitation. This is often fatal.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50She's recovered slightly but... Oh, she's not sure.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Yeah, that's right, she's done it!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55She has done it.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58And Georgia has played the Pig Piano like a virtuoso.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Welcome back, well played. Help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Tremendous effort. Well done, Georgia.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Moving swiftly on to something completely different.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Time for the final round.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Over to the Gory Grid to find out who we've got.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17It's the Vile Victorians. Good day.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19No quirky quiz in our final round,
0:21:19 > 0:21:23it's straight to our big All Play Game.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25And this one is sca-a-a-ry!
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Everyone, time to get down that time sewer. Lead on, Olivia.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Yahoo!- Woo-hoo!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Wee-hee!- Wee-hee!
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!- Woo-ho!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42This most gruesome game is based on the criminals
0:21:42 > 0:21:44who stole bodies from graveyards to sell to surgeons,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47who wanted to experiment on the corpses to find out
0:21:47 > 0:21:50more about how the human body works. Let's play....
0:21:51 > 0:21:53You are a rotten robber.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Your challenge, to steal three bodies from the graveyard,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59get them through the railings, onto the carts,
0:21:59 > 0:22:00find the key to the cemetery gate,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03and get them onto the surgeon's table. If you hear this noise...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05WHISTLE
0:22:05 > 0:22:08..rush to the cemetery and hide, so the policeman doesn't spot you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10A second whistle means you can go again.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14The first person to get all their bodies to the surgeon's table
0:22:14 > 0:22:17and grab their dodgy money is the winner.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Three, two, a-one...
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- HORN BLARES - And there they go, grave robbing.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24We're underway. Let's see how many corpses we can get out
0:22:24 > 0:22:29to the surgeons before we get nicked by the rozzers. And look at this,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32what a start from Olivia, she is through there.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Paramvir is trying the pushing method.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36It never works as well as the pull.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Look, he's giving him an absolute shove, that corpse,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41and through he goes. Look at this from Olivia,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44she's already... Hang on, what's going on?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46She's going back... She hasn't taken the correct corpse.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Rattus, this is extraordinary, she's gone back, stolen from a corpse.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52She's stolen the key.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Well, let's see how she gets on.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56The others have caught up here now,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and they are at the cemetery gates, all of them.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01So Paramvir has done it and so, too, has Georgia,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and the first corpses are there for the surgeons.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05There they are, they're down. And they must go back
0:23:05 > 0:23:10and collect another one, and Olivia, after a fantastic start,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12seems to be lagging well behind. There go the wobbly trolleys.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Rattus, you helped to design those trolleys.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I certainly did. They stopped short at making the wheels square, Dave,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21which I thought would be amusing for everybody, except those taking part.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Well, absolutely, and Paramvir, for me, needs to try and change
0:23:25 > 0:23:28this pushing technique, because it does slow him down.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Georgia's stolen a march on him there, she's back in the lead.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Look at the corpses hanging off the trolley there!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36But she's still battling on.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Oh, and Olivia's through! She's through the gate at last.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- WHISTLE - And there's the policeman's whistle.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Now they've got to get back, Rattus.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45They've got to get behind those gravestones,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and then they have got to keep schtum, real schtum!
0:23:48 > 0:23:50If that policeman was to spot any of them,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- it would be life imprisonment at best.- Quite right, Dave.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57There he is, there goes our policeman.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00He's six foot two, his favourite sport is rugby
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and he enjoys dancing and travelling.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05And he's one of the least observant policemen I've ever seen
0:24:05 > 0:24:07because he's missed all three of them there.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11If his boss hears about this, he'll be back parking horses for a living.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- WHISTLE - They're back in the game!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16And they've got to quickly get back to exactly where they were
0:24:16 > 0:24:18when the whistle blew in the first place.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21And where they were is Paramvir in the lead with that
0:24:21 > 0:24:24reverse technique, he runs backwards, but he lets himself down,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26he slows himself up with this push.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28If he could take this push out of his game
0:24:28 > 0:24:30he would be unbeatable at this.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Look at that yank taking place at the end there from Georgia.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34She had the corpse by its hair.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38And she's really going to have to go some to catch Paramvir now.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Paramvir puts his final corpse down!
0:24:41 > 0:24:43He's got the purse of monies, the ill-gotten monies.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47He's just got to get up the edge... And he's forgotten his trolley!
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Can Georgia catch him?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Here she comes!
0:24:50 > 0:24:54And it's Paramvir, he's through the railings at the end
0:24:54 > 0:24:59and he jumps for joy because he is the best grave robber
0:24:59 > 0:25:01out of those three.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Paramvir, help yourself to a Year Sphere, well done.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09What an excellent, excellent game that was.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Now, Olivia, what happened with that lock?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Key opening has never been one of my qualities.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Do you struggle with your front door?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19I just usually just knock and someone's there.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Maybe you should have tried that. At the cemetery gates.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Bad luck, I felt for you. Well done, Georgia, that was good.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Have you ever done any grave robbing before?- No.- No?
0:25:28 > 0:25:29I don't think I ever want to try it.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33That's your last time? What about you, Paramvir? You're very good.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Never done it before, might try again.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36You might, you MIGHT try again?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Brilliant. You have three Year Spheres,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Georgia. Paramvir, you've got three. Olivia, you haven't got any.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45But, because of the BC year totals, it's quite possible
0:25:45 > 0:25:48that you could win today's star prize with no Year Spheres.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52OK, time to count up those Year Spheres. And remember,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56AD dates are added to your total and BC dates are subtracted from it.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Georgia, let's open up that first one, see what you've got.
0:26:01 > 0:26:061042 AD, Edward the Confessor became King of England that year.
0:26:06 > 0:26:101348 AD, the Black Death hit England.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12But let's have a look at that third sphere.
0:26:12 > 0:26:171760 AD. George III becomes King,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21which means you have a positive total, that's 4,150.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Olivia, that means that you can no longer win, I'm afraid.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Paramvir, let's have a look at your first sphere.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33450 BC, the first set of Roman laws were written that year.
0:26:34 > 0:26:381837 AD, Queen Victoria was crowned that year.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You need a very large AD total,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43in fact, you need one from the future and we haven't got any,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45but let's have a look what you got anyway.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's 1453 AD,
0:26:48 > 0:26:51the end of the Hundred Years' War that year.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56And you have ended up with a total of 2,840.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58That means that today's winner,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02with a total of 4,150 points, is Georgia,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05who'll be taking home the star prize.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09And believe me, the word impressive really doesn't do it justice
0:27:09 > 0:27:12because it's not at all impressive. What is it, Rattus?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Today's prize is a beautiful Incan flute
0:27:15 > 0:27:20made from the hollowed-out arm bone of an enemy soldier.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22This time, Rattus, you have definitely gone too far.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I'll take that as a compliment. Con-rat-ulations, Georgia!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Here you go, Georgia, well done. - Thank you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Sorry it's made from a dead man's arm and everything.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Still, put it on a high wall, you won't have to look at it too much.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It just remains for me to say thank you to Georgia,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Paramvir and Olivia, and no thanks whatsoever to Rattus.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Dave, you know full well your life would be empty without me.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47You've been watching Gory Games. Goodbye.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51# Was that show messy enough for you
0:27:51 > 0:27:54# Or would you have preferred a little more poo
0:27:54 > 0:27:57# Have you had your fill of blood, guts and gore
0:27:57 > 0:28:00# Or have we left you still wanting more?
0:28:00 > 0:28:04# Well, keep watching We'll be back again
0:28:04 > 0:28:07# With Horrible Histories Gory Games
