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'd better turn off this show ain't for you
0:00:13 > 0:00:15# Still watching?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# Then let's test your brains
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# With Horrible History's Gory Games
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# Horrible History's Gory...
0:00:23 > 0:00:24# Games. #
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello and welcome to Gory Games with me, Dave Lamb.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29And me Rattus Rattus
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and I'd just like to extend a very special welcome
0:00:32 > 0:00:34to all of Dave's fans.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Oh, that's very sweet of you.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Or to put it another way, "Hello, Dave's Mum."
0:00:39 > 0:00:40RATTUS LAUGHS
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Hilarious.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Welcome then to the goriest game show you will ever see.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Let's meet today's Horrible Historians.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49- Hi, I'm Molly.- Hi, I'm Georgie.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hi, I'm Josh.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52- Dave.- What?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- Dave.- What?- Dave!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56What better way to get Gory Games rolling
0:00:56 > 0:00:59than with one of my trademark warm up games?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Is that a serious question?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04This is a game I like to call the Gunpowder Plot.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07No. No way.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10We are not, repeat not re-enacting Guy Fawkes' attempt
0:01:10 > 0:01:11to blow up Parliament.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Dave, what do you take me for?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16That would be highly irresponsible.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Parliament is the cradle of democracy in our fair country.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Anyway, we haven't got any gunpowder.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Good.- So, we're going to need to make some.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25In Stuart times the key ingredients of gunpowder
0:01:25 > 0:01:28were bird droppings and human urine.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Now, I've already collected some bird droppings
0:01:31 > 0:01:35so all we need now is some wee, which is where you come in, Dave.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Come on! Fill her up.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Rattus, you really are beyond the pale.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Yeah, but don't you be! RATTUS LAUGHS
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Try getting it all in the pale, not beyond it, eh?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'd chuck this over you but you'd probably enjoy it.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Hm.- Hm. Right.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Molly, Georgie, Josh, you are playing to win year spheres.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Each year sphere contains a historical date
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and at the end of the show your year spheres will be added up
0:02:01 > 0:02:04with AD dates being added to your total
0:02:04 > 0:02:06and BC dates being subtracted from it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So, for example, if these were your year spheres
0:02:09 > 0:02:11your total would be... Rattus?
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Now, I've noticed a bit of a pattern to this bit of the show.- Oh, yes?
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yeah. Well, last time the total was 735.
0:02:19 > 0:02:26The time before, it was 735 and the time before that it was also 735.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So, I'm going to go out on a bit of limb here
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and say that the total is...
0:02:31 > 0:02:37735,321 and a half.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39At the end of the show,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41the person with the highest year score
0:02:41 > 0:02:44will win a unique historical prize,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47picked out of the Time Sewer by my glamourless assistant.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh, you are going to be dead impressed.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Unlikely.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Right, let's get cracking
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and to find out what this round's about it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59It's the Gorgeous Georgians.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Your four Georgian topics are:
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Molly, you get to pick first this round.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Which topic takes your fancy?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Beauty products. - Beauty products.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14The question is:
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Let's see your answers now, please.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Look at that. Molly and Josh agreeing with C.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Georgie out on her own with A.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37The answer is...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44"I always use ash, coal dust and candle wax
0:03:44 > 0:03:46"because I'm worth it."
0:03:46 > 0:03:47THEY GIGGLE
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I don't. I was just doing a voice. Right.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Georgie, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Can I have school, please? - School.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58In 1793 the school boys at Winchester School did what?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00A, invented a new sport,
0:04:00 > 0:04:01B, rioted
0:04:01 > 0:04:04or C, pretended to be girls?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09And you've all ended up with exactly the same answer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11You've all gone for B. Let's find out.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14The answer is B, they rioted, they really rioted.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17They even fired pistols at some of the teachers.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I'm pretty sure that's against the school rules.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I'm almost certain it is.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Josh, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I think I might go with Aristocrats. - Aristocrats.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30The Duke of Chandos had his own private what?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So Molly and Josh are going for C.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Georgie thinks it's B.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41The answer is B.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45He had his own private orchestra consisting of 27 musicians.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47That's right. Just 27.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Kind of like having an MP3 player, only less portable.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53THEY LAUGH
0:04:53 > 0:04:54- True.- Thanks.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56So, the scores are all square.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Two points each and the final question this round is on Shoes.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03And it's a prop question.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04RATTUS SNIFFS
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Oh, cheesy!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Only the very best. Here is your question on Shoes.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Why did sailors in the Georgian navy not wear shoes?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Was it A, because they could cause explosions,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20was it B, because they couldn't afford them
0:05:20 > 0:05:23or was it C, because they wanted to show how hardy they were?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Georgie on her own again with A.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Molly and Josh still agreeing on C this time.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31The answer is...
0:05:31 > 0:05:32A.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35The nails in the soles of the shoes made sparks
0:05:35 > 0:05:38which could ignite gunpowder. You couldn't make it up.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Well, you could but it wouldn't be as interesting.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42So, Georgie, you've won the quiz.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Time to choose your first year sphere.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Push, push, push! Oh, it's very heavy when it's full.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Ah, come on, Georgie.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Come and pick your year sphere, whichever one you want.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55But beware, inside one is a Stone Age date
0:05:55 > 0:05:57worth a few million minus points.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Push, push, push, push, push, push! Bye!
0:05:59 > 0:06:03So winning the quiz means that Georgie is through to play
0:06:03 > 0:06:06the Georgian Game, but will she be alone or will everyone get to play?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Let's find out.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's a single player silly game. So, Georgie,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18it's off down the Time Sewer with you.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I'm coming through.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It's 21st October 1805.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Heavily outnumbered, the British Navy face the combined might
0:06:33 > 0:06:36of the French and Spanish fleets. It's time to play...
0:06:37 > 0:06:39You are a British Navy gunner.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Your mission - to load, aim and fire your cannon at the enemy ships.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46You score a point for every enemy ship you shoot
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and lose a point for every British ship you hit.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Score six points in the time limit to win your year sphere.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Let the battle commence!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55KLAXON BLARES
0:06:55 > 0:06:59So, here goes Georgie with the Battle of Trafalgar, Rattus.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01In goes the first ball and let's see what's she done,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03it's fallen short, it's fallen short.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It didn't quite make it to the sea, did it, Rattus?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10It didn't. It went straight into the sky and off into outer space.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Yes, and I'm afraid that's the kind of thing that can happen
0:07:13 > 0:07:16and will happen if Georgie doesn't point the cannon at the ships.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19She is basically not bothering to aim here, Rattus,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21which is a very, very interesting technique.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23We've not seen this before.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26All she's doing is loading up the cannon and firing it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Oh no, wait a minute, she's pointing it this time and that was better.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Lovely day there, isn't it, at sea...- It is, Dave.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35..in the Battle of Trafalgar?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Lovely blue sky, a perfect day for sailing
0:07:37 > 0:07:40but not for some of these sailors who are about to get blown
0:07:40 > 0:07:42out of the water, although maybe not,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45because that one almost blew up her own ship.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It nearly rolled out of the end of the cannon and blew herself up.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- There's a nasty sea mist rolling in, Dave.- There certainly is
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and that seagull has never looked safer for me.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Er, she's not really getting the aiming right here.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58And she's running out of time.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02You have to say it's not looking likely at all for Georgie.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Oh, she hit one!- She's hit. - She hit one!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08We could see there the benefits of aiming the cannon at the ships
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and she got it straight away and that wasn't a fire off either.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Oh, but the penny's dropped just too late for Georgie
0:08:15 > 0:08:19and I'm afraid the French and the Spanish have got away with murder.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Welcome back, Georgie. Bad luck. What happened there?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24You seemed to be struggling a bit with it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I knew I wouldn't get a very good score
0:08:26 > 0:08:29because my aim is terrible. I can't aim to save my life.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32At the start, you weren't actually aiming at all though.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- You didn't actually sort of move. - Exactly.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- And you got one down in the end? - But I was still rubbish.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Sadly, Admiral Lord Nelson,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41the brains behind the British victory,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44was shot by a French sniper and died at Trafalgar.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Not the first time he'd been shot.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48In a previous battle, his right arm had been hit by a bullet
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- and it had to be hacked off with a saw.- That's nothing!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55A mate of mine got caught in a trap and had to gnaw his leg off.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Like we needed to know that.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Erm...
0:08:59 > 0:09:02On to round two and to find out what's up next,
0:09:02 > 0:09:04it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10And here are your all important Middle Ages topics.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17So, Georgie, it's your turn to pick first this round.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I think I'll go for School, please.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21School.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23True or false?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25At schools in the Middle Ages you were beaten
0:09:25 > 0:09:27if you made spelling mistakes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Let's see your answers now, please.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Josh and Georgie think it's true. Molly thinks it's false.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36It's...false.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39In the Middle Ages there were no spelling corrections.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43You spelled English anyway you wanted to and that's a "facte".
0:09:43 > 0:09:45F-A-C-T-E. Facte.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Not how you spell fact. Never mind.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Josh, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Hm. Maybe Tournaments. - Tournaments.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Is this true or false?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Look out. Everyone's in complete agreement.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Three trues. Are you all right or all wrong?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12I can tell you it's...
0:10:12 > 0:10:13true.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I reckon they should just do away with the World Cup trophy
0:10:16 > 0:10:20and hand over a massive fish. What do you think?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Oh, one of your better ideas, certainly, but still not very good.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Molly, it's your turn to pick a topic.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Animals, please.- Animals.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29True or false?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33King Henry III built England's first zoo in the Tower of London,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36home to a polar bear, which was allowed to fish for dinner
0:10:36 > 0:10:38in the Thames.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42The girls think it's false. Josh on his own with true.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It's...true.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47The polar bear's keeper used to take it for walks on a lead.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48SHE LAUGHS
0:10:48 > 0:10:54Yes and you need a very big plastic bag to clear up after a polar bear.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55RATTUS LAUGHS
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Everyone a winner when it's about poo.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59He's said it again.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I've said it again. I'm not saying it again.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04One question left in this round.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Josh and Molly are on two points each.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Georgie, you can still catch up with this last question
0:11:09 > 0:11:11and it is about Henry II.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13True or false?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Henry II of France was riding through a town
0:11:16 > 0:11:19when the Cistercian monk stumbled and fell over.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24His robe flew over his head and he showed the King his backside.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Well, everyone has gone for true. Trues across the board.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's true.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31RATTUS CHUCKLES
0:11:33 > 0:11:34It's not funny!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Shtoom, shtoom, Rattus. So, that is the end of the round.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Georgie, I'm afraid for now you're history
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- but you've already got a sphere so don't worry.- Fantastic.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Molly and Josh, you are going to go head to head to decide
0:11:46 > 0:11:49who wins the next year sphere. Fingers on your buzzers.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Beginning with the letter K,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55what is the name for a warrior who fought in a suit of armour?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56- Molly.- A knight?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59A knight is correct. Well done, Molly.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Help yourself to a year sphere.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Molly, as the winner of the quiz you are also through
0:12:04 > 0:12:06to play the Middle Ages game
0:12:06 > 0:12:09but will it be just you or will the others get to play too?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's an all play Gory Game and you're all celebrating.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18So celebrate down the Time Sewer.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Free away!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Oh, bleurgh! It stinks.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33William the Conqueror was a big old bully.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36At his funeral in 1087, his servants stole his jewels,
0:12:36 > 0:12:40his body was so bloated it exploded, and the church burnt down.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42A fitting tribute I think you'll agree.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's time to play...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50You are William's servants and your challenge is to take as much
0:12:50 > 0:12:54as the old tyrant's treasure as possible and put it in your chest.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58All the treasure is colour coded. You must only take your own colour.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Whoever collects the most pieces wins the year sphere
0:13:01 > 0:13:04but you'd better be quick because the church is going to burn down.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Your time starts...now.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08So here we go with Yuckaroo.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10They've got to steal the colour-coded treasure
0:13:10 > 0:13:14and stick it in their own chests and look at the speed of them going.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17This is the fastest speeding we've seen yet, Rattus.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20He's so shocked, he's dumbfounded, he's not speaking.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23There is some top speed theft happening here
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and Molly goes in for the crown. Now, we've not seen this before.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The crown is being stolen. And about time to,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32it's got to be the most precious piece of treasure, hasn't it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35They all look very pleased with themselves there, Dave,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37but the truth of the matter is they're not going to get
0:13:37 > 0:13:39any of that through customs.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41No, you're absolutely right.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44And Georgie there putting a bit of green treasure in her chest.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47That wouldn't count so she's rightly removed it again. Excellent.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50They've got ten pieces each to collect, of course,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52so they're doing very well indeed.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55No. One's dropped out there. That bounced out, Josh.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57That won't count for him.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00And I have to say,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Molly is one of the fastest thieves I have every seen.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Faster even that the pickpocket who relieved me
0:14:06 > 0:14:08of my wallet on the way over here this morning.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Whoa! And William the Conqueror's stomach has exploded!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14William the Conqueror's stomach has gone up
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and it has spattered our contestants in all manner of gory gunk
0:14:17 > 0:14:20but they don't seem that troubled by it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23They're pressing on with their task, although, I should point out
0:14:23 > 0:14:27at this stage that tomb-raiding generally is a bit of a no-no.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Please don't do it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Georgie, dropping in another piece of treasure there, Rattus.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33She's gaining on Molly, isn't she?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- She is, Dave. - That's a very nice piece, isn't it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39What would you say that would be worth at auction, Rattus?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Absolutely nothing. We got all of this junk from a Pound Shop.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44We got it from the Pound Shop
0:14:44 > 0:14:47so it'll be worth at least a pound at auction, I'm saying.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50That's irrelevant because it's been stolen.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52It's been stolen by Molly and put into her chest.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I have to say, I think Molly might be on the point of stealing
0:14:55 > 0:14:58every single bit of treasure available.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00She gets another piece, that's her ninth piece, I think.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And the church is on fire! And that can mean only one thing.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05The end of the game is imminent.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09She's only got one more piece of treasure to get for the clean sweep.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Here it comes. There goes... the hooter!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Oh, the hooter beat her to it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17She was on the point of a memorable world record
0:15:17 > 0:15:20but at least Molly has the consolation of a year sphere.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Welcome back, Gory Gamers. Get back behind those podiums.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Did you enjoy that? - No. It was disgusting.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- What didn't you enjoy about it? - Who wants guts flying over them?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33You got covered in guts. Did everyone get covered in guts?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- No, I didn't.- You didn't? You escaped?- I'm jealous of you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I think I got a bit of a stomach on my shoulder.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39That was extraordinary.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44The winner with nine pieces of treasure was Molly.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Help yourself to a year sphere.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49William the Conqueror's coronation in 1066 was just as eventful.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53The congregation cheered when the crown was placed on his head
0:15:53 > 0:15:56but his guards thought it was a riot so they attacked the crowd
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and set fire to the buildings.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01He knew how to liven up a church service, that William.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04He certainly did. Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08It's the frightful First World War.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Four questions as always and here are your four World War I topics.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Josh, it's your turn to pick first this time.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- I'll go with bombs.- Bombs.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Your question is:
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Let's see your answers now, please.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Georgie and Josh agreeing with B. Molly, out on her own with A.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40What's the answer?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41The answer is:
0:16:44 > 0:16:46And by sheer coincidence,
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Goggle-Eyed Booger was my Rat School nickname.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I can well believe it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Molly, it's your turn to choose a topic.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Um, Trenches.- Trenches.
0:16:55 > 0:17:00Which of these diseases affected soldiers in World War I?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Let's see you answers now, please.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10So, Molly and Josh agreeing on C. Georgie thinks it's B.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Let's hear the answer.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The answer is C! Trench foot.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18When you foot got cold and damp, blisters could get infected
0:17:18 > 0:17:20and turn to gangrene.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Best way to avoid it was -
0:17:22 > 0:17:25not get sent to the trenches in the first place. Ha ha.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Yes. That's the ideal way to avoid it, certainly.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Georgie, your turn to pick a topic. - Can I go for food, please?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33You can go for food.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36And that is a prop question.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Look at those beauties!
0:17:39 > 0:17:43What did French peasants do with British Army biscuits?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Was it A, feed them to their cows,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47was it B eat them
0:17:47 > 0:17:49or was it C, light fires with them?
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Georgie and Josh going with B. Molly on her own with C.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58The correct answer is...
0:17:58 > 0:18:00C! They lit fires with them.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03They thought they were far too horrible to eat.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Oh, Dave, Dave, Dave!- Yep. - Can I... could I?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Yep. I'll leave them there for you. - Thank you.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11There is actually one question left in this round but looking at
0:18:11 > 0:18:15the scores, we don't need to ask it because Molly you can't be caught.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17You've won yourself another year sphere.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20You're through to play the World War I game
0:18:20 > 0:18:23but will it be an all play or will it be a single play game?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Yes. It's a single player silly game
0:18:28 > 0:18:31so Molly, off you go down the Time Sewer.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Ah!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Much of World War I was fought in the trenches,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42which were truly frightful and full to the brim with rats.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's time to play...
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Your job, quite simply, is to splat that rat.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Hm! Hm? What have us rats every done to you?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Well, two words. The plague.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Fair cop.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Whack 15 rats with your spade within the time limit
0:19:00 > 0:19:03to win the year sphere and your time starts...now.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05KLAXON BLARES
0:19:05 > 0:19:08So, Molly about to Vanquish Vile Vermin.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10There's a little one, missed that one. Wow!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12She gave that one a thomp though.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14She's making up for lost time here, Rattus.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18And Rattus, I have to say is staring at the this open mouth.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Rattus, she is wielding that spade like a lunatic.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24That one's got a helmet on in the foreground.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'm afraid that's not going to be enough protection.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29She is whacking like a berserker. Rattus, this is terrible.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32You don't want to watch this. She is sparing none of these rats.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35She's not just trying to score points here.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38She's trying to inflict damage and boy is she doing that.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Oh, no! My colleague Rattus is getting emotional.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44And that one, oh, it just slipped off the side of the helmet.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Probably poked its eye out. Poor thing, what a way to go.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Whacked by a spade.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Well, Molly just needs one more to win this now.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54It'll all be over, Rattus.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57And she's done it. And Rattus has gone.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Rattus has fainted
0:19:58 > 0:20:01while Molly celebrates her fourth year sphere.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Welcome back, Molly. Well done.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Pick yourself a year sphere, why don't you?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Tell me about your technique.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I just tried to whack them really hard cos I don't really like rats.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14THEY LAUGH
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Have you had a go at Rattus?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20It's the last time I take a peep out during that game.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Yeah. I'd keep well away from that game if I were you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25You did brilliantly, Molly. Well done.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Soldiers in World War I didn't just whack the rats,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30they also had a cunning trick.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32They'd put a bayonet on their rifle then
0:20:32 > 0:20:34a lump of cheese on the bayonet.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36They'd aim the rifle at the enemy lines,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38wait for the rat to nibble at the cheese and...
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I think we've heard quite enough!
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Time for the next round and it better not involve injuries to rats.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Time for the final round.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out who we've got.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It's the Vile Victorians. Good day.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54No quirky quiz in our final round.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's straight to our big all play game
0:20:56 > 0:20:59and this one is scary with a capital S.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Everyone, get down that Time Sewer. Go on, Josh.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I really don't want to do this!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Bye.- Bye, Georgie. Bye, Molly.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- See ya.- See ya.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Bodies were stolen from graveyards to sell to surgeons
0:21:15 > 0:21:18who wanted to experiment on the corpses to find out
0:21:18 > 0:21:21more about how the human body works. It's time to play...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26You are a rotten robber.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Your challenge - to steal three bodies from the graveyard,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32get them through the railings onto the carts, find the key
0:21:32 > 0:21:36to the cemetery gate and get them onto the surgeon's table.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- If you hear this noise... - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:21:38 > 0:21:40..then you must rush back to the cemetery and hide
0:21:40 > 0:21:42so the policeman doesn't spot you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44A second whistle means you can go again.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48The first person to get all their bodies to the surgeon's table
0:21:48 > 0:21:52and grab their dodgy money is the winner. Three, two, one...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54KLAXON BLARES
0:21:54 > 0:21:55So, here got the grave robbers!
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Through the railings, grabbing their first bodies now.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I'm afraid Josh, you're not going to get it through like that.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04That's it, very good. The drag through is the best way
0:22:04 > 0:22:06of getting them through.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09And Molly's off and running straight away. Look at that.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Up to the cemetery gates already. Found the key.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13That can be a problem. We've seen that in the past
0:22:13 > 0:22:16and she's working away at the lock already.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19She's through. She's through with corpse number one.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22There it is. Two more to go for her.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24That's delivered, you can leave it now.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I've got a bad feeling about Georgie and that middle corpse.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29She's looking in his trousers for the key,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31it's hanging off the end of a chain.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34And Josh is taking his trolley into the final sector of the game.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36That's not necessary either
0:22:36 > 0:22:40so the person who's listened the most is once again in the lead.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41And Josh has found the key.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Well, that's a good start. That is a very good start.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Where's Josh going with the trolley? - WHISTLE SOUNDS
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Here come the police! They've got to be quick.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52They've got to get behind those gravestones and be quiet
0:22:52 > 0:22:54because here he comes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56It's our Victorian bobby. The Peeler, the rosser.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Here he comes,
0:22:58 > 0:23:03looking for naughty grave robbers in amongst the topiaried hedges.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Clearly, this policeman doesn't think there's anything wrong
0:23:07 > 0:23:10with a corpse hanging halfway through a railing.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11WHISTLE SOUNDS
0:23:11 > 0:23:14The whistle goes, the second whistle.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17They're back to the game to where they were
0:23:17 > 0:23:20and Molly resumes her battle with corpse number two.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23She's through and it's on the trolley and off she goes
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and there, look he's got a golfer. The check trousers there,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I think, in his lifetime this corpse was clearly a golfer.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Dave, I think it has to be said, golfers do in fact die eventually.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36They certainly do but not normally on the course and they're not
0:23:36 > 0:23:39normally buried in their kit but this one clearly has been.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Second corpse beautifully delivered there by Molly.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Georgie's still wrestling with that lot. She's a long way behind.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48There goes Josh in, second corpse delivered
0:23:48 > 0:23:51so it's tight between Molly and Josh.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Oh, she's through, Georgie's finally through with a corpse.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Great stuff. And there goes Josh with cobwebs in his hair.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Molly, a little bit cobwebbed as well.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02And here we go, this is the race.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06They are as they stand here. Third corpse each coming through.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Josh, yanking the... Oh, and that could be crucial!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Molly loses her third corpse off the trolley.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14That could cost her everything. And here comes Josh, can he cash in?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16He's certainly got a cobweb on his head.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Can he cash in? Yes, he's straight for the bag.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Nothing can stop him now apart from falling into an open grave.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25He's avoided doing that and it's there. Josh has made it!
0:24:25 > 0:24:29He's won the grave robbing and that gives him a year sphere.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back and look...
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Well, know need to ask you Josh, you're off.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37You've grabbed yourself a year sphere. Well done.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40When Queen Victoria was just a child, the infamous criminals,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Burke and Hare were plying their gruesome trade.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Not satisfied with just robbing graves, they murdered people
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- and sold them to a surgeon who experimented on the corpses.- Oh.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Burke and Hare were caught.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Hare testified against Burke who was hanged
0:24:55 > 0:24:57and what happened to his body?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00It was given to a surgeon who experimented on the corpse.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04It's got a lovely kind of circulatory to it, hasn't it?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yeah. Not sure lovely's the word.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It was an excellent effort, wasn't it?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10How did you feel it went?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I knew I was going to win when Molly slipped up. Thanks, Molly.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Molly, you've ended up with four year spheres.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Georgie, you've got one. Josh, you've got one.- Yay.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Yay indeed. Anyone can win this.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23It's time to count them up.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Remember, the AD years are added to your total.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30The BC years are subtracted from it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Molly let's have a look at your first sphere.
0:25:33 > 0:25:351533 AD.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38The Incan Empire destroyed by Spanish Conquistadors.
0:25:39 > 0:25:411485 AD.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Richard III killed in battle that year.
0:25:45 > 0:25:471702 AD.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50The death of King William III.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51This all important fourth one, what is it?
0:25:51 > 0:25:551840 AD!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58The first stamp, the Penny Black comes into use.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01There's applause from the other two contestants.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03You have scored 6,560 points,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05and seeing as we don't feature years in the future
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and you've got one sphere each,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10neither of you can catch her but we're going to have a look
0:26:10 > 0:26:13at your spheres anyway. Georgie, what have you got there?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Oh, dear. 2184 BC.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20The Egyptian King Pepi II died aged 100 that year.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Josh, can you beat Georgie? Let's have a look.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Well, you can, but only just.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31and the Athenians was that year.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35So that means today's winner with 6,560 points is Molly,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37who'll be taking home our star prize.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41And when I say star think more black hole, unfortunately,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45as it's been selected by the flea metropolis that is Rattus Rattus.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Well, today's prize is nothing more than a nutritious piece of fruit.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54- A date to be precise. - Oh, that sounds harmless.- Hm.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59An ancient Egyptian date, no less, picked by a trained baboon.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Hold on a second.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Tell me that isn't a bit of baboon poop on it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Um. Give us a sniff.- Aw!
0:27:06 > 0:27:08RATTUS SNIFFS
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Yeah. You're right. It is baboon poop.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Well, all the better, more authentic, Molly!
0:27:13 > 0:27:15So con-rat-ulations.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16There you go, Molly.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Sorry, er, the baboon poop should come off after a while, hopefully!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Thanks.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Just try not to touch it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27It just remains for me to say thanks to our winner, Molly,
0:27:27 > 0:27:31and thanks also to our gallant runners up, Georgie and Josh
0:27:31 > 0:27:33and no, thanks whatsoever, to Rattus.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35He doesn't mean it, not really.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40I do. You've been watching Gory Games. Goodbye.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43# Was that show messy enough for you
0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Or would you have preferred a little more poo
0:27:46 > 0:27:48# Have you had your fill of blood, guts and gore
0:27:48 > 0:27:51# Or have we left you still wanting more?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53# Well, keep watching
0:27:53 > 0:27:55# We'll be back again
