0:00:37 > 0:00:41This is the show that separates out the cool cats
0:00:41 > 0:00:42from the scaredy rats.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Oh yes, I see what you did there.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55- Hi, I'm Morgan.- Fantastic.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56There are the contestants.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58By way of a little warm-up game today
0:00:58 > 0:01:02I thought we'd go back to nature with a wholesome Georgian pastime.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03- Really?- Absolutely.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Just picture the scene.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10It's 1764, we're in a tranquil Georgian farmyard.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12A cockerel crows in the distance...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14COCKEREL CROWS
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Spring lambs chew the grass in a nearby field.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18LAMBS BLEAT
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Chickens peck lazily at the grain from the dusty ground.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23CHICKENS CLUCK

0:01:26 > 0:01:29ready to play the favourite game of Georgian aristocrat
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Lord Huntingdon.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Hunt The Hen! Simply chase the chicken round the studio
0:01:37 > 0:01:39and the first to pull some feathers from his bottom wins.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Release the hen. Three, two, one...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43No, no, no, not on my watch.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48For heaven's sake, for once I would just like to start this show
0:01:48 > 0:01:50without anything disgusting or upsetting happening.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Thank you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Oh, brilliant.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I'm going to need a change of shirt now, aren't I?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03And someone better find out where he got that chicken from.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I'm a naughty little rat.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Right, September, Sol, Morgan, you are playing to win Year Spheres.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Each Year Sphere contains a historical date and,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16at the end of the show, your Year Sphere dates will be added up
0:02:16 > 0:02:20with AD dates being added to your total and BC dates being subtracted
0:02:20 > 0:02:23from it, so if these were your Year Spheres,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27we'd add 1,215 then subtract 418 giving us a total of, Rattus?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Mm? Oh, I do know but I can't tell you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Why not?- It's a secret. - No, it isn't.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- It must be otherwise you'd know already.- I do know already.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Then what is it?- It's 735.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41All right, you've passed the test. It's 735.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42OK, thank you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45At the end of the show the person with the highest year score
0:02:45 > 0:02:47will win a unique historical prize.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49As chosen by yours truly.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51It's the kind of prize you couldn't even sell on eBay.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Let's get cracking and to find out who this round's about,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's the Awful Egyptians.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So four questions on the Awful Egyptians coming up now.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Your four Egyptian topics are:
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So, September, you get to pick first in this round,
0:03:16 > 0:03:17- what's it going to be?- Gods.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Egyptian gods, let's hear that question.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24The Egyptian god Sobek had the head of a crocodile
0:03:24 > 0:03:26but what was he the god of?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Was it:
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Let's see those answers now please.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36OK, so Morgan and Sol agreeing on A, September out on her own with C.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Let's find out what the answer is. - The answer is C,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42he was the Egyptian god of water, though
0:03:42 > 0:03:45if there's one thing you don't want to find in your water
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- it's a crocodile.- Or a sewer rat.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Oi, I heard that!
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- You were meant to. So, Sol, it's your turn to pick a topic.- Mummies.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Mummies.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00That is a prop question. This is a pot of mummy's dust.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Stuart king Charles II of England had a collection of mummies.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06He used to gather the dust and powder that fell off them
0:04:06 > 0:04:10but what did he do with it? Did he a) rub it into his skin,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12b) sprinkle it on his food,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15or c) throw it at people he didn't like?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Let's see those answers now please.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Everybody in total agreement on A and you're all right.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24He did used to rub it into his skin,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27he thought the greatness of the mummies would rub off on him.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31That is sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34sick and not in a good way. Huh.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Morgan, your turn to pick a topic. - Hieroglyphics, please.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Hieroglyphics, let's hear that question.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Ancient Egyptian scribes wrote things down in hieroglyphics
0:04:43 > 0:04:45but what does "hieroglyphics" mean?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So is that A, B or C?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Everyone in total agreement. Let's see what the answer is.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The answer is C - "hieroglyphics" means "sacred engraving".
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Is that sacred as in "Holy cow!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- "What on earth is that supposed to mean?"- No, it isn't, Rattus.- Oh.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11OK, with the scores September, three, Sol, two and Morgan, two,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15we have one question left in this round so it's all still to play for.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18The final topic is pyramids. Here's the question.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Here's what I want to know.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Do you think that's A, B or C?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33OK, the girls agreeing on B.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Sol out on his own with C.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let's find out what the answer is.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39The answer is C.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42There are more than 100 pyramids in Egypt.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yeah, there are more pyramids on Egyptian soil
0:05:45 > 0:05:48than I've got flea bites on my bottom. Ha ha ha! But only just.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I was going to say, it must be close. And talking of close,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55it's very close here. We finish that round with September and Sol tied.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Fingers on your buzzers - we're going to the tiebreak question.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Beginning with the letter H,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Egyptians believed that in the underworld,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04to tell whether you'd led a good life
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- which of your organs was weighed? Sol.- Heart.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Heart is absolutely right so, Sol, you have won the quiz.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's time to choose your Year Sphere from our trolley wally.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I'll have you know I'm not a trolley wally! I'm a sewage expert.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Ooh, so much better.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Be warned, Sol, one of these Year Spheres could contain
0:06:21 > 0:06:24a Stone Age date worth a few million minus points.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push,
0:06:27 > 0:06:28push, push, push.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Hah, come on, Sol, come and choose your Year Sphere,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33whichever one you want, preferably a shiny one.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Is that the one you want? - Yes.- Good.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38So winning the quiz means that Sol is automatically
0:06:38 > 0:06:41through to play the Egyptian game but will he be alone
0:06:41 > 0:06:44or will the others get to play, too? Let's find out.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It's an All Play Brainy Game
0:06:49 > 0:06:52which means all of you must get down that time sewer.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Lead off, Morgan.- Whoo!
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Excellent, off you go, Sol.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03There you go, September.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06When they died,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Pharaohs didn't really go for the small engraved gravestone thing.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13They were more into the two million massive stone block thing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14It's time to play...
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Your challenge, to build a pyramid.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Just work out which massive block goes where.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24First to finish wins the Year Sphere. So, ready,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27steady, get building! And here we go, then, with Pyramid Puzzle
0:07:27 > 0:07:30and the idea here, Rattus,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32is to get the big blocks on that base, isn't it?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35That's right, the clue's in the title, Dave, they have to build...
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- a pyramid.- That's a nice big piece there from Sol.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43September's looking a little small for me, though.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Of course, things can go very badly wrong on this game.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Particular if you thank you can squeeze a piece into a gap
0:07:49 > 0:07:51that just isn't there. This is interesting.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56September's realised her mistake and she's gone with the bigger bits.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Sol, basically picking all the bits up and throwing them around,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01which is an interesting technique.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Morgan looks as though she's close to finishing her ground floor.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07That looks good. Now that looks very good,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10but wait a minute, if you look at the back closely,
0:08:10 > 0:08:11I'm not sure that's right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I think that Morgan may think she's got the base finished there,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17but I'm not sure that she has. What do you think?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It's poking out over the edge and if your bottom layer
0:08:20 > 0:08:23isn't parallel with the bottom edges of the plinth,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26then that's it, we're onto a hiding to nothing.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You are and you've got to take into account the slanting
0:08:29 > 0:08:31sides of the pyramid. I'm not sure she's done that,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34so Morgan could be barking up the wrong tree.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37September, wrestling with another huge piece.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Now, that is what you call a base.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43She has completed the ground floor of her pyramid.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Sol is in all sorts of trouble here.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47And so is Morgan.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Those jaggedy bits sticking out, if you look closely.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54That, however, looks very encouraging and September, for me,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58now is well on her way to winning this challenge, Rattus.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Sol still is struggling. There's a great big rift
0:09:01 > 0:09:03right in the middle of his...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That's it, September's got a second layer!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07You've called it correctly, my furry friend.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10She's got that second layer. On she goes now for the third layer
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and that's going to take not very long at all.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Shortly to be followed by the top piece, and there it is!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- There it is.- It's a perfect pyramid from September.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24She does a little leap, than a half spin. It's a victory celebration.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26And Morgan's livid. Not really.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Welcome back, well played.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31September, help yourself to a Year Sphere, why don't you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Morgan, how did you find it?- I found it great fun.- Did you? Excellent.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- You had a piece in the base, didn't you?- It was the other one,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42the one I put on top was the one on the bottom.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Good effort. Sol, how did you find it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Hard.- Difficult, one word. Hard. But, September,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- what a magnificent pyramid you constructed, did you enjoy it?- Yeah,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53it was fun but I put all the small ones on,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I had to wipe it completely off and put the massive one on so...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well done, because it meant that you won.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01The Great Pyramid of Giza was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It was finished around 2560 BC,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08and weighs about six and a half million tons.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So, are you one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Dave?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Where are you going with this?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Well, you're very old and heavy.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Just try to ignore him if you can. That's what I do.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Moving on. On to round two and to find out what's up next
0:10:21 > 0:10:22it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25It's the Frightful First World War.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Four questions again,
0:10:27 > 0:10:31here are your all-important World War One topics:
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So, Sol, it's your turn to pick first, what do you fancy?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Gas masks. - Gas masks, let's hear that question.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45True or false? No animals were given gas masks.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Let's see those answers now please. Well, look at that,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51all three in complete agreement, everyone thinks it's false.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Are they all right or are they all wrong?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58It's false, horses were key to the war effort
0:10:58 > 0:10:59so special gas masks were made for them.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Morgan, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- Um, dogs please.- Dogs you say, let's hear that question.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08True or false?
0:11:08 > 0:11:13German Shepherds were renamed Alsatians as a result of the war.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14So is that true or false?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19All in total agreement once again, all thinking it's true this time.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Are they right or are they wrong?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's true. We were at war with Germany
0:11:25 > 0:11:27so they were renamed not to sound German.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32I'm not very fond of Alsatians but they love me...for dinner.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Obviously not picky eaters.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- September, your turn to pick a topic.- Hankies please.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Hankies.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43That is a question from my esteemed colleague, Mr Rattus Rattus.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44I thank you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47True or false?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49If you were caught in a gas attack in World War I
0:11:49 > 0:11:52without a gas mask, you should wee on your hankie,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55tie it round your mouth and nose and breathe through it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Hm, interesting. Let's see your answers now please.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Look at that, all in total agreement once again,
0:12:01 > 0:12:02all going for true this time.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- What's the answer, Rattus? - Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,
0:12:06 > 0:12:10it's true! Although what you did if you didn't need a wee I don't know!
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Three points each,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15one question remaining so this may well decide the round.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19It's a question on bombs, let's hear what it is.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Is this true or false?
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Let's see those answers now please.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Total, total agreement once again.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Let's find out if they're right. - It's true.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Yep, it's horrible but it's true. So look at that, we've ended up with
0:12:40 > 0:12:43a three-way tie, everyone getting maximum points in that round.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46That means it's fingers on buzzers.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Beginning with the letter F, name the medical condition
0:12:49 > 0:12:51caused by the freezing cold in the trenches
0:12:51 > 0:12:53that could make soldiers' toes drop off.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54- ATCHOO! - September?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Frostbite.- Frostbite is the right answer, congratulations,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Very good, well done,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you qualify for the First World War game
0:13:04 > 0:13:07but will you be alone or will everyone get to play too?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Let's find out.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16It's a Single Player Brainy Game so, September,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18off down the time sewer on your own.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Nowadays, most army regiments have an animal mascot,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28for example, the Third Battalion of Royal Horrible Historians,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30that's us, has a rat.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I'd salute but my arms are too short.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Dear oh dear. It's time to play...
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Marvellous Mascots.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Your challenge today is to work out which five of these
0:13:40 > 0:13:42are genuine World War One lucky mascots.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Choose five and move them to the real board then touch
0:13:45 > 0:13:47the stuffed dog with a medal...
0:13:47 > 0:13:49is that really the best we can do? Oh well.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51..to find out how many you've got right. Keep trying new
0:13:51 > 0:13:55combinations until you've got all five but you're against the clock!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58And your time starts...now.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So, September attempts to play Marvellous Mascots,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04and what's her first choice? Let's have a look.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08That's Private Derby the Ram.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Some of these names are hilarious!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Corporal Charlie the cockroach!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16He's actually quite a good flute player.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Bella and Bertha the cows go up next, er,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21then Taffy, Taffy the goat.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Yeah, Taffy IV there actually.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Er, sounds a bit Welsh really.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Or am I just stereotyping them? - Yes, probably,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30please don't upset the Welsh, Rattus,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32we're in enough trouble as it is. Stubby the Dog up.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34How's she got on?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, she's got four,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39what one will she take away? The Cockroach!
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Off he goes, dragging his tiny little flute behind him.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Nancy the Springbok goes up there and it gives her the game.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48What a celebration there! Textbook!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54September, it was an absolute triumph,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58help yourself to another Year Sphere, why don't you?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00You were right, Blue the Kangaroo
0:15:00 > 0:15:03and Corporal Charlie the Cockroach and were the made up ones.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05The lucky mascots of the Scots Guards were two cows called
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Bella and Bertha,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10they were the only survivors from a herd that had been hit by a bomb.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15So the Scots Guards got two mascots and all the mince they could eat!
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- LAUGHS - That's inappropriate.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Yeah, sorry.- OK.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Four questions as always and here are your four Middle Ages topics:
0:15:33 > 0:15:37So, Morgan, it's your turn to pick first this time,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- what's it going to be? - 1066 please.- 1066.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Is this true or false?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51So is that true or is that false?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Interesting, the girls agreeing on false, Sol has gone for true.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Let's find out who's right.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It's true.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Yeah, he was called Ivo Taillefer
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and he was William the Conqueror's jester.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07He charged at the Saxons while juggling
0:16:07 > 0:16:09and obviously he was killed immediately.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12So I guess the Saxons had the last laugh after all.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13What an idiot.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18OK, September, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Can I have laws please?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yes, you can...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24And that is a prop question.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Ooh! - Rattus loves those prop questions.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30OK, here is your question. True or false?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32One Middle Ages method for seeing
0:16:32 > 0:16:36if someone was guilty of a crime involved eating cake.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39They've all gone for true.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42That's absolutely right, it was true, the accused person
0:16:42 > 0:16:46would eat a slice of cake, if they choked on it then they were guilty.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Rattus, did you steal some of this cake?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING
0:16:51 > 0:16:54No further questions, your honour. Well done, everyone,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56you got that absolutely right.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- It's your turn to pick a topic, Sol. - Cures.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Cures it is, let's hear the question.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03True or false?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05One Middle Ages cure for the Black Death
0:17:05 > 0:17:07involved jumping over a sewer.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Is that true or is that false?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Show me now and OK, Sol out on his own again with false,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15the girls agreeing with true.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Let's find out what the answer is.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's false but we thought one way to avoid catching the plague was
0:17:20 > 0:17:22to sit in a sewer. You see,
0:17:22 > 0:17:26the bad air of the plague is driven off by the worse air of the drains.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Yeah, right.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Well, to be fair, I spend much of my time sitting in the sewer
0:17:34 > 0:17:36and I've never died of the Black Death.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Slight misunderstanding of how biology works there,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41but no misunderstanding from Sol,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44even with one question left in this round
0:17:44 > 0:17:46it's too late for the others, Sol has won.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49So, Sol, help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Sol is through to play the Middle Ages game
0:17:53 > 0:17:56but will it be just him or will everyone else be coming along too?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Let's find out.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04It's an All Play Gory Game,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07so it's off down the time sewer with the lot of you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Lead off, Morgan.- See you!- See you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Toodlepip!- Toodlepip, Sol.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Au revoir!- Au revoir!
0:18:17 > 0:18:18King William the Conqueror
0:18:18 > 0:18:20came to power after the gory Battle of Hastings,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24and the funeral that marked the end of his reign was no less gory.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27His servants stole all his jewels, his body was so bloated
0:18:27 > 0:18:30it exploded, and the church caught fire.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31It's time to play...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Yuckaroo.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36You are William's servants and your challenge is to take as much
0:18:36 > 0:18:40of the old tyrant's treasure as possible and put it in your chest.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44All the treasure is colour coded and you must only take your own colour.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Whoever collects the most pieces wins the Year Sphere
0:18:47 > 0:18:50and you'd better be quick because the church
0:18:50 > 0:18:53is going to burn down and your time starts now.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Here we go with Yuckaroo - the colour-coded treasure challenge
0:18:56 > 0:19:02that ends in gooiness. Look, September off the mark,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06so, too, is Sol. Lovely. And Morgan away.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- They're good thieves.- They certainly are.- Yeah, good to see three
0:19:09 > 0:19:13such excellent thieves at the top of their game,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17and all working away feverishly on William the Conqueror's treasure.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20All his treasure stolen by his servants at his funeral
0:19:20 > 0:19:24and the other thing to note was that his guts exploded half way through!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I've got a feeling that might be about to happen here but...
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'm rather hoping so, Dave.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31..I don't think they know about it which is excellent.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Oh, dear me, Sol has put one in his chest there
0:19:34 > 0:19:36that wasn't brown so that won't count.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41Obviously stealing and nicking things is pretty bad on its own
0:19:41 > 0:19:45but to do it from a dead man just seems downright disrespectful.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Yes, even though he was a bit of a foul bully he didn't deserve this,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51no one deserves this, this is naughty behaviour.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Oh!- There go his guts! He's exploded and that has taken Morgan
0:19:55 > 0:19:57on the arm and I think Sol got covered in it
0:19:57 > 0:19:59but he barely looked up!
0:19:59 > 0:20:03It's like he gets covered in guts every day of the week.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07It's very close here, September and Morgan very close
0:20:07 > 0:20:10and there's only two points separating all of them.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- GONG - Very exciting with 30 seconds left.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Now, September's put the wrong stuff in her box
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and that won't count. So Morgan's drawn level.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Morgan's doing very well, gathering a fair old booty
0:20:22 > 0:20:25but she's also being very selective,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28having a look at what she fancies the look of.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I think that's a mistake, you've just got to take it all.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34The church is now very much on fire - they've got to get
0:20:34 > 0:20:39out of there quickly! September drawing level
0:20:39 > 0:20:44and that could be absolutely crucial and it is! September and Morgan
0:20:44 > 0:20:47have tied on six pieces each
0:20:47 > 0:20:50and that means they'll both get a Year Sphere.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Back behind your podiums.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- How did you find that, Morgan? - I found it really fun.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Have you done any thieving, Sol?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Oh yeah...- Yeah? - From my sister, yeah.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- She know about that yet? - Don't think so.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04She does now! So, never mind.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06How did you find that, September?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Quite easy cos I didn't get covered in any gunge so...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You withdrew for that bit!
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Well done, everyone. September,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17if you could choose yours for me first please.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21And, Morgan, help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Lovely. Everyone has a Year Sphere.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Time for the final round,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30It's the Vicious Vikings.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32No quirky quiz in our final round,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34it's straight to our big All Play Viking End Game
0:21:34 > 0:21:36and it is a scary one.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40So, everyone, get down that Time Sewer!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- See ya!- See ya.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Bye!- Bye.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Auf Wiedersein!- Auf Wiedersein.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50A multi-linguist!
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Picture the scene: it's June 8th, 793 AD
0:21:54 > 0:21:57and another peaceful day begins
0:21:57 > 0:21:59in the tranquil island monastery of Lindisfarne.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Suddenly, an unusual sound breaks the silence.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05It's the sound of a Viking chopping a monk in two.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06It's time to play...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Viking Attack.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10You are defenceless monks.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Your only hope of survival is that the Vikings won't find you
0:22:13 > 0:22:16so best not step on a squeaky floorboard.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Your challenge is to find the one squeak-free path.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Every time you step on a squeaky wooden panel
0:22:21 > 0:22:22you'll be sent back to the start.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Reach the end of the path and you are faced with two doors.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Behind one is freedom. Behind the other is...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Rarrr!
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I was portraying a Viking. Find him,
0:22:36 > 0:22:37and you have to start again.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39The first person to escape wins the Year Sphere.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Ready, steady, shh.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Here we go, then, and what an appalling start,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48everybody's squeaked already!
0:22:48 > 0:22:49That's woken up the monks,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53there they are, our three custodian monks who stand at the back
0:22:53 > 0:22:55to ensure fair play at all times
0:22:55 > 0:23:01and also because they have absolutely nothing better to do.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03SQUEAK
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Oh, Sol gets that familiar sinking feeling
0:23:06 > 0:23:08and that means he must return to the start.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Oh, that was a lovely cross-legged walk there from Morgan.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17September, really thinking long and hard about this one
0:23:17 > 0:23:19and Morgan is right at the end already. Oh no!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22There's the frustration in a nutshell,
0:23:22 > 0:23:24she's gone right back to start again.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31But look, she's back up quickly, all three on the charge...
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Morgan down, Sol down, but September wasn't down. That is peculiar!
0:23:35 > 0:23:39September didn't need to go back, extraordinary.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43September is very close, look how close she is here.
0:23:43 > 0:23:49She just needs a solid one... Oh! She tried! She tried!
0:23:52 > 0:23:56She thought, if I skip across it, it won't register,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00but it will! Cheeky indeed but they all know their paths now.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03It's really a case of who can remember best.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07She's over! Now, which door is it? Is it freedom or the Viking?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Oh, it's the Viking.- Oh, it's a Viking.- Back to the beginning.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12You'd better get back, September,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15before he chops some part of you off and Sol has to
0:24:15 > 0:24:19go back as well which leaves Morgan our front runner, can she get there?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Can she get there? But September's coming back...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Surely she'll choose the right door? And she does!
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Fist pump, double turn,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30perfect celebrating at the end of a perfect game.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32And Morgan knows how close that was!
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Very well done, that was very exciting.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38September, help yourself to another Year Sphere, of course.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Superb. September, how did you find that?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I found it really difficult because, I mean,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48my and Morgan's squeaks were quite similar,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50so I kept going back on hers and she kept going back on mine
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- but it was fun in the end. - Well done.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Monks spent much of their time copying out books by hand.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Monasteries were like huge libraries crammed full of hundreds of books.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02But not one on how to defend yourself in the event
0:25:02 > 0:25:04of a Viking attack, huh, go figure.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Time to count up those Year Spheres and, remember,
0:25:07 > 0:25:13AD years are added to your total and BC years are subtracted from it.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15So despite the fact that you've only got one, Morgan,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18you could still win this quite easily.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20OK, let's have a look at your Year Spheres then, September.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Start off with that first one.
0:25:23 > 0:25:271453 AD, the end of the Hundred Years War.
0:25:30 > 0:25:341852 AD, London's first flushing loo opened to the public.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Let's see the third.
0:25:37 > 0:25:421170 AD, Archbishop Thomas Becket murdered. The fourth?
0:25:45 > 0:25:481789 AD, start of the French Revolution!
0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's all down to this last fifth sphere.
0:25:52 > 0:25:5579 AD, the Colosseum opened in Rome.
0:25:55 > 0:26:02That means you have ended up with a mahoosive total of 6,343.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Sol, it's going to be tricky to beat that.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Let's have a look at that first one.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Well, you started off badly in your quest for 6,000 points,
0:26:11 > 0:26:12you've got 9,000 BC -
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Stone Age man started using bows and arrows round about then.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Let's have a look at the second one.
0:26:19 > 0:26:211666 AD, the Great Fire of London, of course,
0:26:21 > 0:26:28and that means that you have ended up with a score of minus 7,334.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Morgan, one Year Sphere,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32it's going to be tough to beat September.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Oh! It's 776 BC, the first ever Ancient Olympics that year.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Well, that is no consolation whatsoever.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46All that means that today's winner, with 6,343 points,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50is September who goes home with our star prize
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and it really is the best prize that Rattus could possibly find
0:26:53 > 0:26:56which gives you some idea of how little effort he puts
