# Horrible Histories Gory...

0:00:200:00:23

# Games! #

0:00:230:00:24

Hello and welcome to Gory Games,

0:00:240:00:26

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

0:00:260:00:29

And I think you'll agree, Dave, that I've never looked better.

0:00:290:00:33

I spent a day at the rat health spa, went to the steam room,

0:00:330:00:36

had a mud treatment, and then a nice dip in the plunge pool.

0:00:360:00:39

Which I'm guessing means the sewer, an old puddle,

0:00:390:00:41

-and you fell in the canal.

-I didn't know you were a member!

0:00:410:00:44

DAVE SIGHS

0:00:440:00:45

This is the foul-smelling fun fest that tests your knowledge

0:00:450:00:48

of Horrible Histories with quirky quizzes and Gory Games.

0:00:480:00:51

So, let's meet the Horrible Historians

0:00:510:00:54

who'll be facing the filth today.

0:00:540:00:56

Hi, I'm Georgia.

0:00:560:00:58

Hi, I'm Paramvir.

0:00:580:00:59

-Hi, I'm Olivia.

-Welcome, one and all.

0:00:590:01:02

Right, let's get things underway with a Stone Age warm-up game

0:01:020:01:05

-I've come up with myself.

-Oh, no.

0:01:050:01:07

It's called Guess The Animal.

0:01:070:01:09

Oh. Actually, that sounds like it might be quite a nice game.

0:01:090:01:12

One of these creatures was a giant bear called a mega bear. Mmm.

0:01:120:01:17

If a caveman was lucky enough to kill one,

0:01:170:01:19

they'd eat the whole thing, even the contents of the stomach.

0:01:190:01:22

Oh, I think I feel a headache coming on.

0:01:220:01:24

So I've emptied out a mega bear's stomach

0:01:240:01:27

and all our contestants have to do

0:01:270:01:29

is see how many of the semi-digested animals you can identify

0:01:290:01:32

-by eating them.

-I am not having children

0:01:320:01:35

eating half-digested animals from a bear's stomach.

0:01:350:01:38

Come on, it's not like you haven't.

0:01:380:01:40

What?

0:01:400:01:41

Well, what do you think was in that curry I made the other night?

0:01:410:01:45

Oh...

0:01:450:01:46

Oh, dear. Excuse me a second. Sorry.

0:01:460:01:50

Chicken! Dave, it was just chicken!

0:01:500:01:53

Ha-ha-ha! No, it wasn't.

0:01:530:01:56

Any more of your tricks and I'll tell Pest Control where you are.

0:01:570:02:00

Yes...

0:02:000:02:01

Right, Georgia, Paramvir and Olivia, you are playing to win Year Spheres.

0:02:010:02:07

Each Year Sphere contains a historical date.

0:02:070:02:09

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

0:02:090:02:12

with AD dates being added to your total

0:02:120:02:15

and BC dates being subtracted from it.

0:02:150:02:18

So, if these were your Year Spheres, for example, your total would be...

0:02:180:02:21

-Rattus?

-Three.

0:02:210:02:23

No, not quite.

0:02:240:02:25

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

0:02:250:02:28

will win a unique historical prize.

0:02:280:02:30

And it's something specially picked out of the time sewers

0:02:300:02:33

by my own fair paws, which gives you some idea of how good it is.

0:02:330:02:37

Or rather how bad it is.

0:02:370:02:39

Right, let's get this show on the road.

0:02:390:02:41

And to find out what this round's about, it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:02:410:02:44

It's the Rotten Romans.

0:02:440:02:47

Four questions on Rotten Romans coming up.

0:02:470:02:49

The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.

0:02:490:02:53

And your four Roman topics are...

0:02:530:02:55

Georgia, you get to pick first in this round.

0:02:590:03:01

-What are you going to go for?

-Legends.

0:03:010:03:03

Legends.

0:03:030:03:05

According to legend, Rome was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus.

0:03:050:03:10

But what animal is said to have acted as a mother to the twins?

0:03:100:03:14

Was it...

0:03:140:03:15

Let's see those answers now, please.

0:03:200:03:21

Look at that, Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on C,

0:03:230:03:27

Georgia's out on her own with B. Let's find out.

0:03:270:03:29

The answer is B. A wolf acted as their mother.

0:03:290:03:34

Well done, Georgia, you're up and running.

0:03:340:03:36

Paramvir, it's your turn to choose a topic.

0:03:360:03:39

I pick food.

0:03:390:03:40

Food.

0:03:400:03:42

Roman Emperor Elagabalus once served 600 what at a dinner party?

0:03:420:03:48

A, ostrich brains,

0:03:480:03:51

B, rat brains,

0:03:510:03:53

Or C, lion brains.

0:03:530:03:55

Well, complete agreement, they've all gone for A.

0:03:570:04:00

Let's find out if they're all right.

0:04:000:04:01

The answer is A, ostrich brains.

0:04:010:04:04

Ah, rat brains aren't even a good appetiser.

0:04:040:04:08

Oi, cheeky!

0:04:080:04:10

Well, they're far too small! Ha-ha.

0:04:100:04:12

OK, Olivia, your turn to pick a topic.

0:04:120:04:14

Nero.

0:04:140:04:16

Nero.

0:04:160:04:17

Prrrop question! Prop question! Prop question!

0:04:170:04:20

-Prop question! Prop question!

-Enough.

0:04:200:04:23

-Prop question! Prop...

-Enough. Good.

0:04:230:04:25

Evil Emperor Nero had his wife, Octavia, murdered.

0:04:250:04:29

But what did he do with her head?

0:04:290:04:31

Did he... A, have it sent to his new girlfriend,

0:04:310:04:33

B, hang it in his dining room,

0:04:330:04:36

Or C, throw it into the River Tiber.

0:04:360:04:39

Well, look at that.

0:04:390:04:40

Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on A,

0:04:400:04:42

Georgia out on her own with C.

0:04:420:04:45

The answer is...

0:04:450:04:46

A, he had his wife's head sent to his new girlfriend, Poppaea.

0:04:460:04:51

So now we have a three-way tie.

0:04:510:04:54

OK, one more question left in this round, it is on money

0:04:540:04:57

and this is what it is.

0:04:570:04:59

Here comes your question, ready or not.

0:04:590:05:01

Complete spread of different answers there, on show.

0:05:110:05:15

Let's see who's right.

0:05:150:05:16

The answer is...

0:05:160:05:18

That's right, Roman soldiers were paid in salt,

0:05:190:05:23

and that's where we get the word "salary" from.

0:05:230:05:27

Yeah, the rat knows all. Ha-ha-ha!

0:05:270:05:29

Oh, ah, trolley time!

0:05:290:05:31

Well, that decisive question

0:05:310:05:33

means that the winner of the first Year Sphere is Georgia.

0:05:330:05:36

Push, push, push, push!

0:05:360:05:38

It's a heavy trolley... Push, push, push.

0:05:380:05:41

Georgia, come and choose your Year Sphere.

0:05:410:05:43

Any one you like. But be warned. If it's a Stone Age date inside,

0:05:430:05:47

that could mean a few million points to be subtracted from your score

0:05:470:05:51

by someone who's better at maths than me.

0:05:510:05:54

Push, push, push, push....

0:05:540:05:55

Now, winning the quiz means that Georgia is automatically through

0:05:550:05:59

to play the Roman game.

0:05:590:06:01

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

0:06:010:06:03

Let's find out.

0:06:030:06:05

It's an All Play Gory Game.

0:06:090:06:11

So, it's off down the time sewer with the lot of you.

0:06:110:06:13

Woo!

0:06:160:06:17

Ah. No!

0:06:170:06:21

-Bye, Dave!

-Bye. Breathe deeply.

0:06:210:06:24

These days, getting into an ancient fortress will cost you

0:06:240:06:28

about five quid, plus the price of the guide book.

0:06:280:06:30

But back in Roman times, it would cost some people their very lives.

0:06:300:06:34

It's time to play...

0:06:340:06:35

Yes, if Romans wanted to get into an enemy fortress,

0:06:370:06:39

they would use catapults to fire all sorts of awful things,

0:06:390:06:43

such as heavy rocks, hives of stinging bees

0:06:430:06:46

and even the severed heads of dead enemies.

0:06:460:06:48

Your challenge is to fire as many missiles

0:06:480:06:50

into your fortress target as possible.

0:06:500:06:53

The person who gets the most in the time limit wins the Year Sphere.

0:06:530:06:56

So, catapults at the ready. In three, two, one...

0:06:560:06:59

HORN BLARES

0:06:590:07:00

Here we go, then, with Savage Siege, and the head

0:07:000:07:03

coming straight out of the basket there for Olivia

0:07:030:07:05

and it's gone...and it's in!

0:07:050:07:08

She'd landed it, and so did Georgia over the other side.

0:07:080:07:12

Oh, well, Georgia's actually dropped her head on the floor.

0:07:130:07:15

That's, er, that's not what we're after at all.

0:07:150:07:18

Oh, it goes again, what a slippery head! That must be covered

0:07:180:07:21

in margarine, Rattus, I don't know what's going on.

0:07:210:07:24

Can she keep this one in the catapult?

0:07:240:07:26

Oh, she can! And look at that,

0:07:260:07:28

she only has to keep it in the catapult to land it,

0:07:280:07:30

it would seem. Tremendous stuff from both the girls, actually.

0:07:300:07:33

Paramvir, however, hasn't made a brilliant start.

0:07:330:07:36

He is lagging behind.

0:07:360:07:37

There's a sad-looking empty net there for Paramvir.

0:07:370:07:40

Two-each for the girls. He's going to have to try and find

0:07:400:07:43

his target and find it quickly

0:07:430:07:45

or he's going to be out of this completely.

0:07:450:07:47

Well... Oh, there we are! There we go. He swaps to a rock

0:07:470:07:51

and immediately he lands one.

0:07:510:07:52

Well, there's a lesson there for Paramvir.

0:07:520:07:54

The rocks fly well for the lad.

0:07:540:07:57

Do they ever! That's two he's got.

0:07:570:07:59

Superb! What a recovery, he's back in this. Three!

0:07:590:08:02

Paramvir's gone rock crazy!

0:08:020:08:05

It's rock, rock, rock all the way from Paramvir,

0:08:050:08:07

and he's right back in this.

0:08:070:08:09

It's a three-way tie, this is very exciting. Paramvir's in the lead!

0:08:090:08:13

Well, this is absolutely remarkable.

0:08:130:08:15

He was so far behind and now he leads...

0:08:150:08:18

And now he's going crazy! Well, he's just showing off now.

0:08:180:08:21

He's got five rocks on the trot...

0:08:210:08:23

Six! This is extraordinary.

0:08:230:08:25

I've never seen anything like this, he has nailed six rocks.

0:08:250:08:28

-GONG CHIMES

-30 seconds remaining.

0:08:280:08:30

Six rocks in consecutive shots, that was extraordinary.

0:08:300:08:33

But, 30 seconds remaining. There's Paramvir with his trusty rock.

0:08:330:08:36

Seven rocks.

0:08:360:08:38

But very nice from Olivia, keeping pace with him there.

0:08:380:08:42

Another rock on its way.

0:08:420:08:44

Oh, he's landed another one!

0:08:440:08:46

It was off, it bounced off the side

0:08:460:08:47

of the rear and it was straight in.

0:08:470:08:50

Paramvir, an exp... Hang on, he's put one in Olivia's basket!

0:08:500:08:53

That won't count. Don't panic, don't you worry about that.

0:08:530:08:57

'Time's up.'

0:08:570:08:58

And it's all over! It's all over.

0:08:580:09:01

And Paramvir may not roll, but, boy, does he rock!

0:09:010:09:04

'Horrible Histories Gory Games!'

0:09:040:09:06

Back behind your podiums, please.

0:09:060:09:08

Well played, everybody.

0:09:080:09:10

-In first place was Paramvir with eight.

-Yeah!

0:09:100:09:13

Yeah! So help yourself to a Year Sphere, Paramvir, well played.

0:09:130:09:17

When the Romans laid siege to the Gaulish stronghold of Avaricum,

0:09:170:09:20

the Gauls put up a great fight and only gave up

0:09:200:09:23

because it started to rain.

0:09:230:09:25

The Gauls thought the downpour was a sign that the gods were angry

0:09:250:09:28

with them. So they gave up and ran away.

0:09:280:09:31

Oh, I can understand that, Dave, rain's a pretty terrifying thing.

0:09:310:09:34

-No, it isn't.

-It is when you live in a storm drain.

0:09:340:09:37

Er, well, no, fair enough. Under those circumstances, I suppose.

0:09:370:09:40

On to round two.

0:09:400:09:42

And to find out what's up next, it's over to the Gory Grid.

0:09:420:09:45

It's the Frightful First World War.

0:09:450:09:46

Four questions again, and here are your all-important

0:09:460:09:49

World War One topics.

0:09:490:09:51

And Paramvir, it's your turn to pick first in this round.

0:09:550:09:58

-So what's it going to be?

-Food again.

0:09:580:10:00

Food again. That is a prop question.

0:10:000:10:01

That is a very syrupy coffee in a World War One mug. If you will.

0:10:030:10:08

True or false? When coffee supplies ran out,

0:10:080:10:11

people in Germany drank fake coffee

0:10:110:10:14

made with coal tar.

0:10:140:10:16

Let's see those answers now, please.

0:10:160:10:19

OK, Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on true.

0:10:190:10:22

Georgia has gone for false. I can tell you...

0:10:220:10:25

it's true. They also made it out of roasted acorns or beech nuts

0:10:250:10:29

or even turnips.

0:10:290:10:30

You know, hot water and turnip is one of my favourite brews.

0:10:300:10:33

It is.

0:10:330:10:34

-Really?

-True.

-Fascinating. Let's move on, though.

0:10:340:10:37

Olivia, it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:10:370:10:39

-Um, pigeons.

-Pigeons.

0:10:390:10:42

True or false?

0:10:420:10:43

The British Army used messenger pigeons to send messages,

0:10:430:10:47

so the Germans trained hawks and falcons to attack them.

0:10:470:10:51

Everybody's gone for true. Let's find out if they're right.

0:10:520:10:55

It's true! The Germans had squadrons of birds of prey,

0:10:550:11:00

who would be used to catch any pigeon flying back to Britain.

0:11:000:11:03

So next time you're scoffing a rotting pigeon,

0:11:030:11:06

-remember what they did for us during the war.

-I almost feel bad.

0:11:060:11:10

Almost. OK, Georgia, your turn to pick a topic.

0:11:100:11:13

Let's go for boots.

0:11:130:11:16

Boots is a question from Rattus Rattus.

0:11:160:11:19

I thank you. True or false?

0:11:190:11:20

Soldiers softened the tough leather of their boots by pouring

0:11:200:11:25

tomato ketchup on them.

0:11:250:11:26

Everybody has gone for false.

0:11:270:11:29

Total agreement once again. Are they all right, Rattus?

0:11:290:11:33

Yes, it's false! They used to wee on them. Ha-ha-ha!

0:11:330:11:36

It really softened the leather and, as an added bonus,

0:11:360:11:39

made them stink of wee. Ha!

0:11:390:11:41

Yes.

0:11:410:11:42

OK. One question left. Georgia, you can still catch up in this round.

0:11:420:11:46

The final question in this round is on tights.

0:11:460:11:48

True or false?

0:11:480:11:51

Scottish soldiers in World War One wore ladies' tights

0:11:510:11:54

to protect their legs during poison gas attacks.

0:11:540:11:57

Well, Georgia's gone for false.

0:11:590:12:01

Paramvir and Olivia have agreed on true. Let's find out who's right.

0:12:010:12:05

It's true! The tights helped stop poison gas from burning their skin.

0:12:050:12:10

At the end of that round, Georgia, I'm afraid you're not playing

0:12:100:12:13

in this tie-break, but Paramvir and Olivia, two maximums.

0:12:130:12:18

Tremendous, you can't get better than that. So, fingers on buzzers.

0:12:180:12:21

Beginning with T, what is the name of the ditches soldiers had...

0:12:210:12:26

-PHRRT!

-Paramvir.

-Trench.

0:12:260:12:28

Trenches is right. Well done, Paramvir.

0:12:280:12:30

Help yourself to another Year Sphere.

0:12:300:12:33

Paramvir, as the quiz winner, you're also through

0:12:330:12:36

to play the World War One game.

0:12:360:12:38

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

0:12:380:12:42

Let's find out.

0:12:420:12:43

It's a Single Player Silly Game,

0:12:460:12:48

and it's waiting for you at the end of that time sewer.

0:12:480:12:52

To the time sewer at the double. Sir!

0:12:520:12:54

Back in World War One, there was one enemy

0:13:010:13:03

who would infiltrate your trench every single night,

0:13:030:13:06

and that enemy was rats.

0:13:060:13:08

They were probably just being friendly.

0:13:080:13:10

A likely story. Well, I'm afraid the soldiers weren't very friendly back.

0:13:100:13:14

It's time to play...

0:13:140:13:15

Just like the soldiers in those muddy trenches,

0:13:170:13:20

you've got to start splatting some rats.

0:13:200:13:23

Whack 15 rats with your spade within the time limit

0:13:230:13:26

to win the Year Sphere. And your time starts now!

0:13:260:13:29

So, Paramvir wields his shovel, he's straight off the mark there,

0:13:290:13:32

excellent start. Those are very thick eyebrows for a rat.

0:13:320:13:35

Quite rightly he's been bashed in the face.

0:13:350:13:38

Rattus is horrified by what he's seeing.

0:13:380:13:40

He's gone mute, which, you know,

0:13:400:13:43

is a bonus for me.

0:13:430:13:44

There's the one with the hat!

0:13:440:13:45

That would've been a regular army tin hat.

0:13:450:13:47

Remember, this is the First World War.

0:13:470:13:50

Everyone would have worn hats.

0:13:500:13:51

Probably not the rats, thinking about it,

0:13:510:13:53

but, er, tin hats nonetheless. And Paramvir now up to five strikes.

0:13:530:13:58

Oh, just a bit too slow across there.

0:13:580:14:00

-'30 seconds remaining.'

-He's not looking over here...

0:14:000:14:03

Oh, he's sidled over!

0:14:030:14:04

Oh, what technique!

0:14:040:14:06

He came over sideways without giving them the eye

0:14:060:14:08

and they thought they were perfectly safe

0:14:080:14:10

and then he absolutely hammered them.

0:14:100:14:13

Back with the wall bopper here, and this is your...

0:14:130:14:16

This is your meat and drink.

0:14:160:14:18

Oh, Dave, I have to say, those rats are like family.

0:14:180:14:20

In fact, some of them are! Uncle Duke! Uncle Fred!

0:14:200:14:25

Well, with a name like Uncle Duke,

0:14:250:14:27

he probably deserves everything he gets.

0:14:270:14:29

'Time's up.'

0:14:290:14:30

And it's all over! And Paramvir has scored 12.

0:14:300:14:34

Not enough for a Year Sphere.

0:14:340:14:35

'Horrible Histories Gory Games!'

0:14:360:14:38

Welcome back, Paramvir. Bad luck.

0:14:380:14:41

Put yourself behind your podium.

0:14:410:14:43

A very good score, 12, just not quite enough for the Year Sphere.

0:14:430:14:47

-How did you find it?

-Hard, challenging, but fun.

0:14:470:14:51

Well played, a very good effort.

0:14:510:14:52

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

0:14:520:14:55

It's the Measly Middle Ages.

0:14:550:14:57

Four questions as always, and here are your four Middle Ages topics.

0:14:570:15:01

Olivia, it's your turn to pick first this time.

0:15:060:15:08

Um, I'm going to go for Black Death.

0:15:080:15:10

Black Death.

0:15:100:15:12

What did so-called flagellants in the Middle Ages do

0:15:120:15:16

to try and stop the Black Death?

0:15:160:15:18

A, they ate nothing but spiders' legs,

0:15:180:15:20

B, they whipped themselves for 33 days,

0:15:200:15:23

or C, they ate stinging nettles.

0:15:230:15:26

Let's see those answers now, please.

0:15:260:15:29

Everybody's gone for B, complete agreement. Are they all right?

0:15:290:15:33

The answer is B, they whipped themselves for 33 days.

0:15:330:15:38

Oh, I'd happily eat nothing but spiders' legs. Delish!

0:15:380:15:43

Yes... So, Georgia, it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:15:430:15:46

-Let's go for crime.

-Let's go for crime.

0:15:460:15:48

King Edward I's crown jewels were stolen from Westminster Abbey by...

0:15:480:15:53

A, a gang of monks,

0:15:530:15:55

B, a gang of schoolchildren,

0:15:550:15:58

or C, his own guards.

0:15:580:16:00

OK, complete agreement yet again.

0:16:020:16:04

So, are they all right this time?

0:16:040:16:06

The answer is A, a gang of monks.

0:16:060:16:10

And they got away with it too,

0:16:100:16:11

because monks were exempt from the law.

0:16:110:16:13

Which is no longer the case, for any monks watching!

0:16:130:16:16

No points in that question, but a point apiece,

0:16:160:16:19

so still all to play for.

0:16:190:16:20

Paramvir, I believe it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:16:200:16:23

I've picked 1066.

0:16:230:16:25

1066.

0:16:250:16:26

It's a right tricky one, this.

0:16:260:16:29

Look at that, Paramvir and Olivia agreeing on A.

0:16:460:16:49

Georgia out on her own with C. Let's find out who's right.

0:16:490:16:53

Here you go, the answer is...

0:16:530:16:56

Yes, though Harold's bodyguards,

0:16:580:17:00

the Housecarls, didn't do too good a job. Because he died.

0:17:000:17:03

They might've done a good job of guarding his body after he was dead.

0:17:030:17:06

Not really the point of bodyguards, Rattus.

0:17:060:17:10

So there we go, one question left in this round, and it is on popes.

0:17:100:17:14

What was the name of the pope during the First Crusade in 1095?

0:17:140:17:19

Ah, everybody going for B, which is Pope Urban II.

0:17:280:17:31

Let's find out if they're right.

0:17:310:17:33

So, points all round. But because Georgia got that one right,

0:17:360:17:40

she has just won herself another Year Sphere.

0:17:400:17:43

Georgia, you are through to play the Middle Ages game.

0:17:440:17:47

But will it be just you, or is everyone else coming along?

0:17:470:17:50

Let's find out.

0:17:500:17:51

It's a Single Player Silly Game.

0:17:530:17:56

So, Georgia, off down the time sewer with you.

0:17:560:18:00

Woo-hoo!

0:18:000:18:02

Off she goes.

0:18:020:18:03

It's time to go to France in the 1400s

0:18:030:18:07

to the court of King Louis XI, who has just

0:18:070:18:09

been delivered a surprising and original musical instrument.

0:18:090:18:13

It's time to play the...

0:18:130:18:14

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

0:18:160:18:19

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

0:18:190:18:23

The larger the pig, the deeper the squeal.

0:18:230:18:26

Your challenge is to listen to and repeat a sequence of piggy squeals.

0:18:260:18:29

The sequence will get one squeal longer each time.

0:18:290:18:31

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

0:18:310:18:35

Get one note wrong, however, and you're history.

0:18:350:18:39

-Let's get squealing.

-HORN BLARES

0:18:390:18:41

PIGS SQUEAL

0:18:410:18:42

So, here goes Georgia attempting to play the Pig Piano,

0:18:420:18:45

and the first sequence begins.

0:18:450:18:48

PIGS SQUEAL

0:18:480:18:51

Lovely start. Of course, this piano not so much a Steinway as a Styway.

0:18:530:18:58

Rattus...

0:18:580:19:00

Rattus... Oh, please yourself.

0:19:000:19:03

Second sequence complete.

0:19:030:19:04

She's doing very well. She's made an excellent start.

0:19:040:19:08

Can I just apologise for my Styway comment there?

0:19:080:19:11

Er, unfortunately I read Rattus' joke book. It won't happen again.

0:19:110:19:14

PIGS SQUEAL

0:19:140:19:17

Georgia moving through this challenge effortlessly

0:19:210:19:24

at the moment.

0:19:240:19:26

-PHRRT!

-Hello, the little one's just let

0:19:270:19:29

one go, and what a cloud of parp that was.

0:19:290:19:32

It came out of his backside like a small tornado of guff.

0:19:320:19:36

But it's not put Georgia off in the slightest.

0:19:380:19:41

What concentration! What concentration she's showing here!

0:19:410:19:45

Amazing, she seems to be impervious to the smell of piggy wind.

0:19:450:19:48

Maybe she's from a long line of pig farmers.

0:19:480:19:51

Now, how's she going to get on with this one?

0:19:510:19:54

PIGS SQUEAL

0:19:540:19:57

She's doing extremely well, pressing the right combination.

0:19:570:20:02

And if she were to make a mistake, Rattus, it'd be poo time.

0:20:020:20:05

One can only hope that's what's going to happen, Dave.

0:20:050:20:07

Well, it is always nice to see the contestants

0:20:070:20:10

covered from head to foot in poo,

0:20:100:20:12

but you've got to admire the technique

0:20:120:20:14

and the sheer brain power here.

0:20:140:20:16

She's just remembering stuff.

0:20:160:20:18

And, Rattus, I'm beginning to wonder whether that Alice band

0:20:210:20:24

she's wearing, as well as making her hair look lovely,

0:20:240:20:27

does it actually hold her massive brain in place?

0:20:270:20:30

Well, be that as it may, this is her last sequence.

0:20:300:20:33

She's studying it very carefully, and here she goes.

0:20:330:20:36

Nice. Nice.

0:20:360:20:38

And nice.

0:20:380:20:39

Very nice. Nice.

0:20:390:20:41

Eh, oh, now... Now, there's a hesitation. This is often fatal.

0:20:430:20:47

She's recovered slightly but... Oh, she's not sure.

0:20:470:20:50

Yeah, that's right, she's done it!

0:20:500:20:52

She has done it.

0:20:520:20:55

And Georgia has played the Pig Piano like a virtuoso.

0:20:550:20:58

Welcome back, well played. Help yourself to another Year Sphere.

0:21:000:21:04

Tremendous effort. Well done, Georgia.

0:21:040:21:07

Moving swiftly on to something completely different.

0:21:070:21:10

Time for the final round.

0:21:100:21:11

Over to the Gory Grid to find out who we've got.

0:21:110:21:14

It's the Vile Victorians. Good day.

0:21:140:21:17

No quirky quiz in our final round,

0:21:170:21:19

it's straight to our big All Play Game.

0:21:190:21:23

And this one is sca-a-a-ry!

0:21:230:21:25

Everyone, time to get down that time sewer. Lead on, Olivia.

0:21:250:21:29

-Yahoo!

-Woo-hoo!

0:21:300:21:32

-Wee-hee!

-Wee-hee!

0:21:320:21:34

-Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

-Woo-ho!

0:21:340:21:38

This most gruesome game is based on the criminals

0:21:390:21:42

who stole bodies from graveyards to sell to surgeons,

0:21:420:21:44

who wanted to experiment on the corpses to find out

0:21:440:21:47

more about how the human body works. Let's play....

0:21:470:21:50

You are a rotten robber.

0:21:510:21:53

Your challenge, to steal three bodies from the graveyard,

0:21:530:21:57

get them through the railings, onto the carts,

0:21:570:21:59

find the key to the cemetery gate,

0:21:590:22:00

and get them onto the surgeon's table. If you hear this noise...

0:22:000:22:03

WHISTLE

0:22:030:22:05

..rush to the cemetery and hide, so the policeman doesn't spot you.

0:22:050:22:08

A second whistle means you can go again.

0:22:080:22:10

The first person to get all their bodies to the surgeon's table

0:22:100:22:14

and grab their dodgy money is the winner.

0:22:140:22:17

Three, two, a-one...

0:22:170:22:19

-HORN BLARES

-And there they go, grave robbing.

0:22:190:22:21

We're underway. Let's see how many corpses we can get out

0:22:210:22:24

to the surgeons before we get nicked by the rozzers. And look at this,

0:22:240:22:29

what a start from Olivia, she is through there.

0:22:290:22:32

Paramvir is trying the pushing method.

0:22:320:22:34

It never works as well as the pull.

0:22:340:22:36

Look, he's giving him an absolute shove, that corpse,

0:22:360:22:38

and through he goes. Look at this from Olivia,

0:22:380:22:41

she's already... Hang on, what's going on?

0:22:410:22:44

She's going back... She hasn't taken the correct corpse.

0:22:440:22:46

Rattus, this is extraordinary, she's gone back, stolen from a corpse.

0:22:460:22:51

She's stolen the key.

0:22:510:22:52

Well, let's see how she gets on.

0:22:520:22:54

The others have caught up here now,

0:22:540:22:56

and they are at the cemetery gates, all of them.

0:22:560:22:58

So Paramvir has done it and so, too, has Georgia,

0:22:580:23:01

and the first corpses are there for the surgeons.

0:23:010:23:03

There they are, they're down. And they must go back

0:23:030:23:05

and collect another one, and Olivia, after a fantastic start,

0:23:050:23:10

seems to be lagging well behind. There go the wobbly trolleys.

0:23:100:23:12

Rattus, you helped to design those trolleys.

0:23:120:23:15

I certainly did. They stopped short at making the wheels square, Dave,

0:23:150:23:18

which I thought would be amusing for everybody, except those taking part.

0:23:180:23:21

Well, absolutely, and Paramvir, for me, needs to try and change

0:23:210:23:25

this pushing technique, because it does slow him down.

0:23:250:23:28

Georgia's stolen a march on him there, she's back in the lead.

0:23:280:23:32

Look at the corpses hanging off the trolley there!

0:23:320:23:34

But she's still battling on.

0:23:340:23:36

Oh, and Olivia's through! She's through the gate at last.

0:23:360:23:39

-WHISTLE

-And there's the policeman's whistle.

0:23:390:23:41

Now they've got to get back, Rattus.

0:23:410:23:43

They've got to get behind those gravestones,

0:23:430:23:45

and then they have got to keep schtum, real schtum!

0:23:450:23:48

If that policeman was to spot any of them,

0:23:480:23:50

-it would be life imprisonment at best.

-Quite right, Dave.

0:23:500:23:54

There he is, there goes our policeman.

0:23:540:23:57

He's six foot two, his favourite sport is rugby

0:23:570:24:00

and he enjoys dancing and travelling.

0:24:000:24:02

And he's one of the least observant policemen I've ever seen

0:24:020:24:05

because he's missed all three of them there.

0:24:050:24:07

If his boss hears about this, he'll be back parking horses for a living.

0:24:070:24:11

-WHISTLE

-They're back in the game!

0:24:110:24:13

And they've got to quickly get back to exactly where they were

0:24:130:24:16

when the whistle blew in the first place.

0:24:160:24:18

And where they were is Paramvir in the lead with that

0:24:180:24:21

reverse technique, he runs backwards, but he lets himself down,

0:24:210:24:24

he slows himself up with this push.

0:24:240:24:26

If he could take this push out of his game

0:24:260:24:28

he would be unbeatable at this.

0:24:280:24:30

Look at that yank taking place at the end there from Georgia.

0:24:300:24:33

She had the corpse by its hair.

0:24:330:24:34

And she's really going to have to go some to catch Paramvir now.

0:24:340:24:38

Paramvir puts his final corpse down!

0:24:380:24:41

He's got the purse of monies, the ill-gotten monies.

0:24:410:24:43

He's just got to get up the edge... And he's forgotten his trolley!

0:24:430:24:47

Can Georgia catch him?

0:24:470:24:48

Here she comes!

0:24:480:24:50

And it's Paramvir, he's through the railings at the end

0:24:500:24:54

and he jumps for joy because he is the best grave robber

0:24:540:24:59

out of those three.

0:24:590:25:01

Paramvir, help yourself to a Year Sphere, well done.

0:25:010:25:05

What an excellent, excellent game that was.

0:25:050:25:09

Now, Olivia, what happened with that lock?

0:25:090:25:11

Key opening has never been one of my qualities.

0:25:110:25:14

Do you struggle with your front door?

0:25:140:25:17

I just usually just knock and someone's there.

0:25:170:25:19

Maybe you should have tried that. At the cemetery gates.

0:25:190:25:22

Bad luck, I felt for you. Well done, Georgia, that was good.

0:25:220:25:25

-Have you ever done any grave robbing before?

-No.

-No?

0:25:250:25:28

I don't think I ever want to try it.

0:25:280:25:29

That's your last time? What about you, Paramvir? You're very good.

0:25:290:25:33

Never done it before, might try again.

0:25:330:25:35

You might, you MIGHT try again?

0:25:350:25:36

Brilliant. You have three Year Spheres,

0:25:360:25:38

Georgia. Paramvir, you've got three. Olivia, you haven't got any.

0:25:380:25:42

But, because of the BC year totals, it's quite possible

0:25:420:25:45

that you could win today's star prize with no Year Spheres.

0:25:450:25:48

OK, time to count up those Year Spheres. And remember,

0:25:480:25:52

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

0:25:520:25:56

Georgia, let's open up that first one, see what you've got.

0:25:560:26:00

1042 AD, Edward the Confessor became King of England that year.

0:26:010:26:06

1348 AD, the Black Death hit England.

0:26:060:26:10

But let's have a look at that third sphere.

0:26:100:26:12

1760 AD. George III becomes King,

0:26:120:26:17

which means you have a positive total, that's 4,150.

0:26:170:26:21

Olivia, that means that you can no longer win, I'm afraid.

0:26:210:26:24

Paramvir, let's have a look at your first sphere.

0:26:240:26:28

450 BC, the first set of Roman laws were written that year.

0:26:280:26:33

1837 AD, Queen Victoria was crowned that year.

0:26:340:26:38

You need a very large AD total,

0:26:380:26:40

in fact, you need one from the future and we haven't got any,

0:26:400:26:43

but let's have a look what you got anyway.

0:26:430:26:45

It's 1453 AD,

0:26:450:26:48

the end of the Hundred Years' War that year.

0:26:480:26:51

And you have ended up with a total of 2,840.

0:26:510:26:56

That means that today's winner,

0:26:560:26:58

with a total of 4,150 points, is Georgia,

0:26:580:27:02

who'll be taking home the star prize.

0:27:020:27:05

And believe me, the word impressive really doesn't do it justice

0:27:050:27:09

because it's not at all impressive. What is it, Rattus?

0:27:090:27:12

Today's prize is a beautiful Incan flute

0:27:120:27:15

made from the hollowed-out arm bone of an enemy soldier.

0:27:150:27:20

This time, Rattus, you have definitely gone too far.

0:27:200:27:22

I'll take that as a compliment. Con-rat-ulations, Georgia!

0:27:220:27:26

-Here you go, Georgia, well done.

-Thank you.

0:27:260:27:28

Sorry it's made from a dead man's arm and everything.

0:27:280:27:31

Still, put it on a high wall, you won't have to look at it too much.

0:27:310:27:35

It just remains for me to say thank you to Georgia,

0:27:350:27:37

Paramvir and Olivia, and no thanks whatsoever to Rattus.

0:27:370:27:41

Dave, you know full well your life would be empty without me.

0:27:410:27:45

You've been watching Gory Games. Goodbye.

0:27:450:27:47

# Was that show messy enough for you

0:27:490:27:51

# Or would you have preferred a little more poo

0:27:510:27:54

# Have you had your fill of blood, guts and gore

0:27:540:27:57

# Or have we left you still wanting more?

0:27:570:28:00

# Well, keep watching We'll be back again

0:28:000:28:04

# With Horrible Histories Gory Games

0:28:040:28:07

# Horrible Histories Gory...

0:28:070:28:10

# Games. #
