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 with me, Dave Lamb,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30- and my assistant, Rattus Rattus. - That's me.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33All right, all right, all right. Not so close, please, Rattus.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35It's a well-known fact that rats are riddled with diseases.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Oh, are they now?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Well, I'll have you know that there are as many diseases
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- on your hairbrush as there are on an average rat.- Is that true?
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Well, there are since I started using your hairbrush.- Oh, Rattus!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Ah, for heaven's sake.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Ugh. Of course, fleas and disease are everywhere on this show,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54which takes you through the most horrible parts of history,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56testing your knowledge of the perilous past
0:00:56 > 0:00:58in a foul feast of fun.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00So, let's meet our Horrible Historians.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hi, I'm Oliver.- Hi, Oliver.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hi, Dave. I'm Kayley.- Hi, Kayley.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05- Hi, I'm Omari.- Hi, Omari.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08As a warm-up game, I think we should go all the way back
0:01:08 > 0:01:11to Scotland in Georgian times, so I can reintroduce
0:01:11 > 0:01:15my favourite ever historical game called Bash The Barrel.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Back then, the barrel would be hung from a tree
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and the players would gallop to it on horseback and try to smash it open.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Of course, we decided that horse riding was far too dangerous.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Very sensible for once.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Yes, so our contestants will just run up to the barrel
0:01:28 > 0:01:30and keep smashing it until the cat falls out.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- OK, get ready. Three, two, one... - Hang on, hang on, hang on.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Until the WHAT falls out?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Didn't I mention? They would put a cat inside the barrel
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- and when it falls out, you get to kill it. Right, three, two...- No.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46No way. No-one is bashing a cat. All right? Not on my watch.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48What is wrong with you? They're cats, Dave.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Yes, but cats are lovely. People like cats, I like cats.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53How are you, little pussykins?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Don't worry, no-one's going to bash you today.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- BABY VOICE:- No-one's going to bash you today.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00That sort of thing shouldn't be allowed on television.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I feel sick. Can we move on, please?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Right, Oliver, Kayley, Omari, you are playing to win Year Spheres.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Each Year Sphere contains a historical date,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and at the end of the show, your Year Sphere dates will be added up,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17with AD dates being added to your total
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and BC dates being subtracted from it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24So if these were your Year Spheres, your total would be... Rattus?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Mm? Um...
0:02:25 > 0:02:27HE MUTTERS
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Bearing in mind that the answer is 735.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- 15!- Oh, dear.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34At the end of the show, the person with the highest year score
0:02:34 > 0:02:36will win a horribly historical prize.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And I picked it out myself,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41so you have my word that it will be genuinely historic.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44As well as genuinely horrible. Right, let's get cracking.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48And to find out what this round's about, it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51It's the Frightful First World War.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Four questions on the Frightful First World War.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59And your four First World War topics are...
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Oliver, it's your turn to pick first in this round. What'll you have?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Lice.- Lice.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13That is a question from Mr Rattus Rattus.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It certainly is. HE CLEARS THROAT
0:03:16 > 0:03:17True or false?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21One soldier in World War One was found to be carrying
0:03:21 > 0:03:2610,428 lice on his body.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29So is the answer true or is it false? Show me now.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34So they've all gone for true. What's the answer, Rattus?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36They're all right, it's true.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40He also had 10,253 lice eggs on him.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41RATTUS LAUGHS
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I tried to count my lice once. But they just wouldn't keep still.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Oh, there goes another one. Oh, I think it landed on you, Dave.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Oh, not again! Rattus, you've got to control your lice.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Kayley, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Weapons. - Weapons. Let's hear that question.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58True or false?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01On September 15th, 1916,
0:04:01 > 0:04:05the British unveiled the first ever submarine.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Is that true or false?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12OK, Kayley and Omari have gone for true. Oliver on his own with false.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Let's find out what the answer is. - It's false.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17They unveiled the first ever tank.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Tanks were originally called land ships,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23but we soldiers thought they looked more like a water tank,
0:04:23 > 0:04:24and the name stuck.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I did not know that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- Well, now you do.- Yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Omari, your turn to pick a topic.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- I'm going to go for Pigeons. - Pigeons, let's hear that question.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37True or false?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40It didn't matter how hungry you were in the trenches,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42you never ate a messenger pigeon.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Let's see your answers now, please.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47There we go. Oliver and Kayley going for true.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Omari this time on his own with false. Let's find out.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52It's false. Pigeon pie is very tasty.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56And if there were no messages to send, you may as well eat one!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Not that I ever did. No, no.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01So Oliver and Omari are level, Kayley just one behind
0:05:01 > 0:05:03with one question remaining.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06The final question in this round is on Bombs.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08And it is a prop question.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Dave, what have you got there?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16It is actually a bucket of poo.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- RATTUS LAUGHS - He loves poo. This is the question.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23True or false? In World War One, animal poo was used to make bombs.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Let's see those answers now, please.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30The boys agreeing on true, Kayley on her own this time with false.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33The answer is true.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36The bombs in the First World War used the explosive TNT,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39which was made from glycerine, which comes from fat,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42which could be extracted from animal poo.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So just by going to the loo in the morning,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48a pig could've done its bit for the war effort. Very nice.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Excellent. Well, Oliver and Omari, you have tied that round.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54So fingers on buzzers, it's tiebreak time.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Beginning with the letter G,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59which country was ruled by Kaiser Wilhelm during the First World War?
0:05:59 > 0:06:00TOILET FLUSHES
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Yes, Oliver.- Was it Germany?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05It was Germany. Well done, Oliver, you have won the first Year Sphere.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Wow.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Let's just hope it doesn't contain a Stone Age stinker,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11which could be worth a few million minus points.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Oh, push, push, push, push,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Come and choose your Year Sphere.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23That one, excellent. Bye! Push, push, push, push, push, push.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Winning means Oliver's through to play the World War One game.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30But will he be alone or will the others get to play too?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Let's find out.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It's a Single Player Silly Game.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41So, Oliver, get yourself down that Time Sewer.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Very quick.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48In World War One, the British soldiers
0:06:48 > 0:06:50would often wake to find their trenches overrun
0:06:50 > 0:06:52with troublesome rats.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Or to put it another way,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57some harmless rats would often wake to find their field overrun
0:06:57 > 0:06:58with troublesome soldiers.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02It's an interesting perspective... that I'm going to entirely ignore,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04as we play...
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Yes, just like the soldiers in those muddy trenches, you've got to start
0:07:08 > 0:07:11splatting some rats. Whack 15 rats with your spade
0:07:11 > 0:07:13within the time limit to win the Year Sphere.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And your time starts now.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17HORN BLARES
0:07:17 > 0:07:19So here we go then with Oliver's
0:07:19 > 0:07:21attempt to Vanquish Vile Vermin,
0:07:21 > 0:07:22and he's not scored anything yet.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26A few rats have popped their heads out but they've got away with it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Oh, I can't watch. I can't watch.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31No, as usual, Rattus is struggling with this game.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Oh, I thought he was going to squish one there!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36But he just missed out. He's really going for it though,
0:07:36 > 0:07:37- Oliver, isn't he? - RATTUS SOBS
0:07:37 > 0:07:41My apologies if you can hear this crying at home,
0:07:41 > 0:07:42I'm afraid my co-commentator
0:07:42 > 0:07:45has completely lost all sense of his own professionalism
0:07:45 > 0:07:46and has slightly gone to pieces.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49There's the moustachioed one.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Oh! He's gone for it big-style there
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and Rattus lets out...
0:07:53 > 0:07:54an impromptu squeak.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58And why wouldn't he, because Oliver is not holding back here,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02he's wielding that spade, well, like a spade! But in an angry way.
0:08:02 > 0:08:0430 seconds remaining.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It's as if the rats have personally affronted him.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Oh, look at that! Another one's snout bashed in there.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12He's on 9. He needs 15 to win the challenge.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Now this, I think, is going to be close.
0:08:15 > 0:08:1910, the score creeping up, 11,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21now he just needs four more.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Oh, just missed out there!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26These rats are being very cunning, they're coming out at safe moments.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28He just got that one, just landed.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30He just needs three, but he's going to have to hurry.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Two more required, two more left, now just one!
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- HORN BLARES - Time's up.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37He got it right on the buzzer!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Oliver is a champion rat smasher.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Well whacked, Oliver,
0:08:44 > 0:08:45help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49And I have to say, you were giving those rats one heck of a whacking.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Sorry, Rattus Rattus,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I-I know they're your brothers or sisters. I'm sorry.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55You're the first one that's ever apologised
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and I appreciate that, Oliver.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Of course it wasn't just rats that filled those trenches.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03There was stagnant rainwater that would rot the soldiers' feet,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06frost and ice from freezing temperatures, and wall-to-wall mud.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Truly terrible conditions for any man to be in.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12But for a rat it was like a holiday camp.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Onto round two, and to find out what's up next,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20It's the Rotten Romans.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Here are your all-important Roman topics.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Kayley, it's your turn to pick first in this round. What'll you have?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Um, I think I'll go for Caligula.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Caligula.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40Emperor Caligula made his friend Incitatus a consul of Rome.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42But what was unusual about Incitatus?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45A, he was a dog,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47B, he was only two years old,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49or C, he was a horse.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Is it A, is it B, or is it C?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54OK, a complete spread of answers,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56everyone going for a different one.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Let's see who's right.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59The answer is C.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Incitatus was Caligula's favourite horse.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I say, it's madness!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I don't know what's so wrong about putting an animal in charge.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09- DAVE LAUGHS - I do.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11So, Omari, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- I'll go for Generals.- Generals, OK. Let's hear that question.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Here comes your question. Ready or not.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Let's see those answers now, please.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37OK, Oliver and Kayley agreeing on C, Omari on his own with A.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Let's find out who, if anyone, is right.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41The answer is...
0:10:41 > 0:10:45C. He used elephants to defeat the Romans.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Hannibal got his war elephants from Africa, across the Alps
0:10:49 > 0:10:51and into Italy, which was thought to be impossible.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Mainly because elephants don't have passports.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Do you know why? Well, they can't get a picture, can they?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Have you tried getting an elephant into a photo booth?
0:10:59 > 0:11:00It's very difficult.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Oliver, your turn to pick a topic.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I'm going to go for Nero.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Nero, let's hear that question.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Emperor Nero was a bloodthirsty sort.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Which of these people did he not murder?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Let's see those answers now, please.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26We've spelt out BBC, which is a particular favourite
0:11:26 > 0:11:29moment of mine. Oliver and Kayley agreeing,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Omari on his own. Let's find out who's right.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33The answer is C.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Nero didn't murder his teacher.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39But he did order his teacher to kill himself.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Nero murdered both his wives, his mother and his stepbrother.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Certainly saved on birthday presents!- Inappropriate.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Sorry. Bad rat.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Right, one more question left in this round, all still to play for.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53The final topic is Weapons.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And that is a prop question.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Ooh, prop question, prop question... - Prop question, prop question...
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Enough. Look at that. Nasty piece of work, isn't it?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05A Roman spear or pilum
0:12:05 > 0:12:10had a 60cm metal head that would snap off after it hit something.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Why?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Was it A, because they were badly made,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17B, so the enemy couldn't pick the spear up and throw it back,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20or C, so you could carry the metal head in your pocket while marching.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Let's see those answers now, please.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Everybody has gone for B, all in total agreement.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29And the answer is indeed B,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31so well done, everybody.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34The enemy couldn't pick up the spear and throw it back.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35I did not know that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40So at the end of that round, we see that Oliver, with three points,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43has won himself another Year Sphere. Collect it for us now, Oliver.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46OK, Oliver, as the quiz winner, you're also through
0:12:46 > 0:12:48to play the Roman game. Will it be just you
0:12:48 > 0:12:51or will the others play too? Let's find out.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57It's an All Play Gory Game.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00So that means it's off down the Time Sewer with the lot of you.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Lead on, Omari.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10If Romans laid siege to your city, you might want to give up quickly,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13because they'd fire all sorts of nasties at you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Yes, they'd fire rocks and beehives into enemy fortresses
0:13:16 > 0:13:19as well as the severed heads of captured defenders.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Nice touch. It's time to play...
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Your challenge is to fire many missiles into your fortress target.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The person who gets the most in the time limit wins the Year Sphere.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So, catapults at the ready. In three, two, one...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35HORN BLARES
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Here we go then with Savage Siege
0:13:36 > 0:13:39and Omari there plumping for a head first up.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I see a hive at the end there with Oliver. Kayley with a head.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44And nobody has landed at all
0:13:44 > 0:13:46with their first round of efforts.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48There's another decapitated head coming out there.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Yes!- Omari scores, he's off the mark. Lovely shot.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Look at that pull back, what a draw back.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56She's almost shattered the board!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Wow, Kayley really, really going for it here.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00And Omari...
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- Yes!- Oh, he celebrates again. You always know when Omari's scored
0:14:05 > 0:14:07because he shouts very loudly. Oliver with a fist pump there.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Yes.- Oh, but it's nothing,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12nothing compared to Omari's celebration. Superb stuff.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Look at this from Kayley, she abso...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Oh-ho-ho, rocket!- Yes!
0:14:17 > 0:14:18And it lands!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Well, good speed for the hive there, that worked very, very nicely.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Oliver falling a bit short with his rock there.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Kayley lining up another one. She's going to be through that backboard
0:14:27 > 0:14:31before the end of this game. She's going to be through that.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I don't think that backboard is going to survive.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Yes!- Oliver, you see, creeping up very nicely.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39They're all doing very well, it's very, very close.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Three points apiece for Omari and Kayley.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Oliver with two.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49And here is Omari. A very high one, it just misses out.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Just 30 seconds remaining now
0:14:51 > 0:14:53as another one smashes into the backboard from Kayley.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55It's very close at the top.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Yes!- Oh, and Omari...- Yes!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00That could be very important, but everyone else scores as well.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Oh, this is very, very close indeed.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Omari now, it bounces in! Could that be absolutely vital?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10It sort of wiped its feet and it dropped in.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12And there's another that leapt out the wrong way.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15It's very, very close, but Oliver and Kayley need to do something
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- and do something fast. - HORN BLARES
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Too late. Omari, that will count, as it was in flight on the buzzer
0:15:21 > 0:15:24and Omari has won the Year Sphere.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Well played, everybody, well played. Back behind your podiums, please.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- How did you find that, Omari? - It was all right, yeah.- Good.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- You got a catapult at home?- No.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- No?- I'd like to but no...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36You'd like to, would you?
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Excellent, good. So help yourself to a Year Sphere, Omari. Brilliant.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Roman catapults did have their limitations.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46When they got wet, the tightly-wound ropes that powered them would sag
0:15:46 > 0:15:48and the catapult became completely useless.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Is that why the Romans never conquered Scotland?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I hope you're not suggesting that it always rains in Scotland.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Well, it rained every day of my holiday last year.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00You should've gone during the Scottish summer, shouldn't you?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- I couldn't, I was working that day. - Ooh, you cheeky rodent.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It's the Vicious Vikings.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Four questions as always, and here are your four Viking topics.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Omari, it's your turn to lead. What will you pick?
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Stupid Death.- Stupid Death. Let's hear that question.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26True or false?
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Viking ruler Sigurd Of Orkney died when he caught a cold
0:16:31 > 0:16:33and sneezed himself to death.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Is that true or is that false?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39OK, Kayley and Omari agreeing on true,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Oliver out on his own with false. Let's find out who's right.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44It's false.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Sigurd was grazed by one of the teeth in the chopped-off head
0:16:48 > 0:16:50of an enemy warrior, which he kept tied to his saddle.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54And wait for it... The bite got infected and he died.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56VIKING LAUGHS
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Ah, that one always cheers me up!
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Horrible. So, Oliver, your turn to pick a topic.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02I'm going to go with Laws.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Laws. Let's hear that question now, please.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Is this true or false?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Let's see those answers. There we go, the boys agreeing on true,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Kayley out on her own this time with false.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Let's find out who's right.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's true.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Yes, and if a judge forgot a Viking law, they were fined.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Well, that's assuming anyone could remember the Viking law
0:17:29 > 0:17:31for what to do if a judge forgot a Viking law.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Indeed. Yes, very good point, Rattus.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Kayley, your turn to pick a topic.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Navigation.- Navigation.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40That is a prop question.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
0:17:43 > 0:17:46He loves prop questions, Rattus.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Here is the prop. True or false?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52One of the ways that Vikings navigated was by looking at mud.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Everybody's going for false and no-one is buying that one.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Well, I can tell you that the answer is in fact true.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Well, that's surprised them.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Vikings categorised all the different types of mud they saw
0:18:05 > 0:18:07and were able to recognise it if they saw it again,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10which helped them to navigate.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13We rats navigate by different smells in the sewer.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16And let me tell you, Dave's house is dead easy to find.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Watch it, all right? I've got pest control on speed dial.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- RATTUS WHIMPERS - Don't forget that.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23One question left in this round, then.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25The final topic is Washing
0:18:25 > 0:18:27and this is the question.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29True or false?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Our Viking soap was made out of whale blubber.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Let's see your answers now, please.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37OK, a complete agreement again.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Everybody thinks it's true across the board.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Are they all right or are they wrong?
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It's false! Our soap was made out of conkers.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48We Vikings washed once a week, every Saturday.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49HE SNIFFS
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Ooh, must be a Friday!
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Washing once a week is just so wrong.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- It should be once a year.- Yeah...
0:18:57 > 0:19:00That's the end of the round. We can see that Oliver,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02with two points, has won himself another Year Sphere.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Help yourself, Oliver.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Oliver, as the quiz winner, you're through to play the Viking game.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13But will it be just you or will the others play too? Let's find out.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20It's a Single Player Brainy Game,
0:19:20 > 0:19:24so get your thinking cap on, Oliver, and then get down that Time Sewer.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Vikings didn't just raid Britain,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30some settled here. And, as a result, some Viking words
0:19:30 > 0:19:34have become part of the English language. It's time to play...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Seven words, but two don't come from the Vikings.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Your challenge, to work out which five do.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Choose five words and move them to the Viking board,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47then touch the Viking axe to see how many you've got right.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Keep trying new combinations until you've got all five.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53You must be quick, you're against the clock. And your time starts...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- now. - HORN BLARES
0:19:56 > 0:19:58And Oliver is under way,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00and he starts with shy.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03You're quite shy, aren't you, Rattus, underneath it all?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Er, yeah, yeah, fundamentally quite a shy rat, Dave, yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Oh, by the way, Dave, should you ever meet a Viking,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13two words you should bear in mind are run and away.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17I'll interrupt you there, because Oliver has nearly finished the game.
0:20:17 > 0:20:18You have four right.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Four right, he has four right. So one of them is wrong,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23which one's he going to take off?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26He's gone with slaughter and he's replacing that with attack,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Let's see how that's gone. - You have three right.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Three right, and rightly he removes attack, slaughter goes back on.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Oliver understands exactly
0:20:34 > 0:20:37what he's doing. And he's taken off tickle and this is going to be it,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40I think he's done it, I think anger.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41You have all five right.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Yep, he's done it. No need to carry on, Oliver, you've finished.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And there is the trademark fist pump.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Welcome back, Oliver, welcome back.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55There we go, that is a full podium.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- How did you find that, Oliver? - I didn't know that Vikings, er...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01the Viking word for shy, really.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04So you didn't know those answers, you were just feeling your way...
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Yeah.- Guesswork. Very good performance.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10You're right, tickle and attack aren't Viking words. Well done.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Moving on, time for the final round.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Over to the Gory Grid to find out what we've got.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19No quirky quiz in our final round,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22it's straight to our big All Play Middle Ages End Game
0:21:22 > 0:21:25and it is a very, very messy one.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28So, everyone, get down that Time Sewer.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34DAVE LAUGHS
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Now, we've had some complaints
0:21:41 > 0:21:44from disgusted parents saying that our games stink.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47And when it comes to this particular one, I'm afraid I have to agree.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Let's have a go at...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Gong was, of course, a Middle Ages word for poop.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Your job is to collect the gong from the cesspit,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00carry it along your lane and slop it into your measuring cylinder.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Whoever collects the most collects the Year Sphere. But beware,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07some Middle Ages types would poo directly onto the street below.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09So your lane is going to get very, very slippery.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Ready, steady, get slopping!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- HORN BLARES - So here we go then
0:22:15 > 0:22:17with the Gong Farming, and Omari is off like a flash.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19He was down that lane quicker
0:22:19 > 0:22:23than anyone I've ever seen before in this game, it's extraordinary.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25He's already disappeared, look. He's there,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27he's unloading his first bucket.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28But as we all know, Rattus,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31it's not necessarily the number of visits,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33but it's the amount of gong you bring, isn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's essential that you bring a full bucket
0:22:36 > 0:22:37with you every time, Dave,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40as we've learnt from past games.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41And Kayley was very, very slow
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and brought a full, full bucket.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47She has the look of a winner in this game for me, Rattus.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's all very well haring up and down the lane,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53but if you've got no gong in your bucket, it's not going to help.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55And also if you're going too fast, you do tend to spill stuff,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58which is absolutely catastrophic.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Kayley, a lovely, lovely delivery there, precision Gong Farming.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And already the boys are slipping over, very bad news for them.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'm very impressed by Kayley, look,
0:23:08 > 0:23:09the way she steps on and off
0:23:09 > 0:23:13the street there, it's quite amazing, very sure-footed.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15She's being very careful with that bucket of gong,
0:23:15 > 0:23:16protecting it like treasure.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18It IS a kind of treasure, Dave.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, it is to you, but not to very many other people,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24and certainly not to Omari or Oliver, who seem to be
0:23:24 > 0:23:26throwing it around with gay abandon.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31But Kayley, look at that, she's delivering that almost lovingly.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34She's putting in an absolutely fantastic performance here.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37It really is very difficult to see how she can't win this.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38BOTH: OH!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Spoke too soon, Dave! Spoke too soon.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Oh, no, Kayley's been wiped out
0:23:42 > 0:23:45by an enormous downpour of gong.
0:23:45 > 0:23:4730 seconds remaining.
0:23:47 > 0:23:5030 seconds left, and they have now got an awful lot
0:23:50 > 0:23:52of mess to contend with.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Look at them sliding off the end of the street there.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58They're filling up their buckets but I don't know why they're bothering.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Oh, Oliver slides off on his knees there like a celebrating footballer,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05but a celebrating footballer who's covered in poo.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Yeah, desperation's kicked in now,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08he's just throwing his bucket, Omari.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Oh, and Kayley's having a lie down!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Time's up.- But it's all over, it's academic now.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15And Kayley has won this
0:24:15 > 0:24:18by being super, super cautious. But that's no consolation
0:24:18 > 0:24:20to her dry cleaner.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Welcome back, everyone, back behind your podiums. Excellent.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Kayley, you copped for an absolute load of that, didn't you?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Yeah.- Tell me what happened.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31All this stuff just fell on my hair,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34and I just fell down flat and I couldn't stand up again.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37It was a poo fest, wasn't it? There was poo absolutely everywhere.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41So congratulations, Kayley, help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well done. One genuine gong farmer
0:24:44 > 0:24:46from the Middle Ages called Richard The Raker
0:24:46 > 0:24:49died when he fell through a toilet floor
0:24:49 > 0:24:52and drowned in the cesspit beneath. I'm sure you can relate to that.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That's weird, why don't I find that funny?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57It was actually his day off, it was his own toilet he drowned in.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Oh, right, there we go.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03RATTUS LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Ooh, a little wee.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Time to count up those Year Spheres, I think.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13And remember, AD years are added to your total
0:25:13 > 0:25:15and the BC years are subtracted from it.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17So you are all still very much in the game.
