0:00:03 > 0:00:05# If mummies, rats and fleas ain't your thing
0:00:05 > 0:00:07# And you don't like the sound of an exploding king
0:00:07 > 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 > 0:00:17# Still watching, then let's test your brains
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# With Horrible History's Gory Games
0:00:20 > 0:00:24# Horrible History's Gory...Games. #
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Welcome to Gory Games with me Dave Lamb.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- And me! What's my name? - Are you all right?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32I was in my dressing room
0:00:32 > 0:00:37and a woman came in, screamed and someone hit me with a shovel.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- That's an occupational hazard for a rat.- Ooh! I'm a rat?
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- That would explain the hairy arms and the whiskers.- Yep.
0:00:45 > 0:00:51This is where you get to test your Horrible History knowledge.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56- It's coming back to me.- Try to keep quiet. Let's meet our Historians.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01- Hi, I'm Christian.- Hi, I'm Isabel. - Hi, I'm Harry.- Excellent.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Let's get the show started with a warm up game I've come up with
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- called man-eating cats!- No! No way, not on my watch, all right?
0:01:10 > 0:01:16We are not having dangerous man-eating cats in the studio.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- I didn't mean cats that eat men. - Thank goodness.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25I meant a man who eats cats. There was one who used to do it
0:01:25 > 0:01:29for the crowds as part of a Georgian sideshow and eat the dead ones,
0:01:29 > 0:01:34but I thought it would be much more fun if we ate a real one.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39- First person to eat it wins. - No, no, no. Absolutely not.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Don't worry, you won't have to eat a cat.- Why not? He'd eat me.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48Wait a minute. That's Socks. That's the Blue Peter cat!
0:01:48 > 0:01:53We are at the BBC. Where did you think I was going to get a cat from?
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Are you trying to get us fired? I'll take him back. Come on, Socks.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00You spoil sport.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Feeling better? - Much, thank you, Dave.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Christian, Isabel, Harry, you are playing for year spheres.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Each one contains a historical date.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Your year sphere dates will be added up with AD dates
0:02:15 > 0:02:19being added to your total and BC dates being subtracted from it.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24If these were your year spheres we'd add 1215 then subtract 480
0:02:24 > 0:02:30- giving us a total of?- 735.- That bang really has messed with your brain.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35The person with the highest score will win an amazing prize.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Yes. I imagine a games console, a widescreen TV.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Forget that and imagine some rubbish that he's dragged out of the sewer
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- cos that's what you're getting.- I usually clean off most of the poo.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Bonus! Let's get cracking and to find out what this round's about,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54It's the awful Egyptians.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Four questions as always and here are you four Egyptian topics:
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Mummies, Soldiers, Tutankhamun and Pyramids.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Christian, it's your turn to pick. What are you going for?- Pyramids.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Pyramids. That is a prop question.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Oh, prop question, prop question, prop question, prop quest...
0:03:14 > 0:03:16You're going to stop doing that now. True or false.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Pyramid workers were paid partly in radishes and garlic.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Let's see those answers now, please.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Christian and Isabel agreeing on true. Harry on his own with false.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well, I can tell you that it is in fact true.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34After pulling huge stone bricks all day in the hot sun
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I suspect pongy breath was the least of their worries.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Fancy some of that? - No. Gives you pongy breath.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42That'll be the least of your worries as well.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- Isabel, let's pick a topic please. - Mummies.- Let's hear that question.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53True or false. In Egyptian history, mummification sometimes went wrong.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57and when a Mummie's arms dropped off they used a stick instead.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02Is it true or is it false? OK. Everyone in total agreement.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05They've all gone for true. Are they all right or wrong?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09It's true. You need some big old sticks to replace these guns though.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Check out these babies.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17- OK. Harry, your turn to pick a topic.- Tutankhamun.- Tutankhamun.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- That's a question from my colleague, Mr Rattus Rattus.- I thank you.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23True or false.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Tutankhamun's tomb was cursed so all the archaeologists
0:04:27 > 0:04:31who discovered it, died soon after they entered it.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Is that true or false? Show me now. Isabel and Harry think it's true.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Christian out on his own with false. Who's right, Rattus?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Ah! It's false, I'm afraid.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46The infamous curse of Tutankhamun was a story made up by the papers.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Howard Carter, the lead archaeologist,
0:04:49 > 0:04:54lived for another 17 years, so don't believe everything you read.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59OK. One question left in this round. It's a question on Soldiers.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05True or false. Ordinary Egyptian soldiers wore ornate metal helmets.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08There we go. The boys agreeing on false.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Isabel on her own with true. Who's right?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14It's false. Only officers had metal helmets.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Ordinary soldiers protected their heads by growing their hair thick.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Tough luck if you were bald. - That's the end of the round
0:05:22 > 0:05:25and we can see that Christian has won the first year sphere
0:05:25 > 0:05:28but be warned, some of them could contain
0:05:28 > 0:05:32a Stone Age date which could be worth a few million minus points.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Push, push, push, push... Here's a hint, Christian!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Pick a gold shiny one.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Oh, he's got good reach. Are you sure?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Yeah.- Okey dokey. Push, push, push, push!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Christian, you are through to play the Egyptian game,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52but will you be playing alone or will everyone else get to play, too?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Let's find out.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02It's an all play silly game, so that means it's off
0:06:02 > 0:06:07down the Time Sewer with the lot of you. Lead the way, Harry.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Now the ancient Egyptians were so smart that they built giant pyramids
0:06:16 > 0:06:18and invented clocks that ran on water.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Hard to believe then that they also thought
0:06:20 > 0:06:23human fly traps were a good idea. Yes, it's time to play...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Flies were such a problem in ancient Egypt, King Pepi had honey
0:06:29 > 0:06:33poured over slaves and stood them in the corners of the room to attract the flies.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34You are a honey slave.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Your challenge - to catch as many flies as possible.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The person who catches the most flies in the time limit
0:06:41 > 0:06:42wins the Year Sphere
0:06:42 > 0:06:46and here come those flies. In 3, 2, 1.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- SIREN SOUNDS - Here we go then with Honey Slaves
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and remember the flies have to stick to their paddles,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54which are sticky on both sides, Rattus,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58or their costumes, which are very much like honey.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00They certainly are, Dave.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03They also look a bit like custard monsters.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06They do, you're absolutely right.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09If you catch any tasty looking ones, save them for me!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Come on, Rattus. Let's not get involved.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15They've got a lot to be concentrating on.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19They don't need to be sorting out your lunch
0:07:19 > 0:07:20or your dinner.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Lots of flies coming out now.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Look at that! Little rush of them.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Must have disturbed a nest.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30nearly stuck to each others' paddles there.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Terrible thing about this game,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34You can get stuck together if you're not careful.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36You certainly can.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37And look at this.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Christian is aiming for them with his paddle
0:07:40 > 0:07:44but a few are getting stuck to his chest.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47He is now part covered in flies.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Look at that.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52He's now winning by a considerable margin.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Isabel lagging behind.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Oh, look at Christian. He's got one on his apron.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00That's the first time we've seen a fly there.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02He's really attracting the flies.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I don't know if he's sprayed himself in something,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08but he's winning this by a country mile.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09SIREN BLARES
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Time's up.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14And it's all over. For my money, if you ever get
0:08:14 > 0:08:16an infestation of flies in your house, there's your man.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Get behind your podiums. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Christian, I've never seen a man
0:08:23 > 0:08:26more covered in flies than you just were.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Talk me through it. - Well, I was just like...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Ah, so if they missed the bat, they landed on you?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Winner of the Year Sphere, with a new Gory Games record,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38it's Christian.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Help yourself to another Year Sphere, Christian. Excellent.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Dave? - Yes?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Is it true that King Pepi had to prove his fitness to rule
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- by running around the pyramid every 30 years?- I believe so, yes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Wow!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54So you would have had to do that about six times already
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- because you're old! - He did understand it.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58- Ha-ha-ha!- OK.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Onto round 2 and to find out what's up next, it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's the frightful First World War.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09And here are your all-important World War I topics.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Don't know what you're looking at me for.- You're a rat.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Isabel, it's your turn to pick first this time.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22What's it going to be?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Rats.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27That is a question from Sir Rattus of Rattus.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Who was known by World War I soldiers
0:09:31 > 0:09:34as rats after mouldy cheese?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Was it...
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Let's have a look at those answers.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45OK.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48So the boys agreeing on B. Isabel on her own with A.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Who, if anyone, Rattus, is correct?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well...
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Isabel is absolutely right with A. It was, in fact, doctors and nurses.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00They came from the Royal Army Medical Corp
0:10:00 > 0:10:02whose initials are RAMC,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05the same initials as Rats After Mouldy Cheese.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07The rat knows all!
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- So, Harry, it's your turn to pick a topic.- Slang.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Let's hear that question.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17What was the trenches slang for toilet paper?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Show me your answers everyone. OK.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28The boys agreeing again, with A. Isabel again out on her own with C.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29What's the answer?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31The answer is A.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Bumf. It was short for bum fodder.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Food for your bottom!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40He just said food for your bottom!
0:10:40 > 0:10:41RATTUS CACKLES
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Food for your bottom! Food for your bottom!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Finished?- Bottom.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48One more bottom. Lovely.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Christian, your turn to pick a topic.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Trenches.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Trenches.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Your question is...
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Let's see those answers now please.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10OK. All three answers different.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Let's see which one was right.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15The answer is...
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Because no man would want to set foot there for fear of being shot.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- That's horrible, but it's true. - It is indeed.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26So, the final question this round
0:11:26 > 0:11:29is on MI5 and here it comes.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34MI5 was Britain's top secret spy service in World War One,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36but who did they sometimes use as messengers?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Let's see those answers now please.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Again, all three answers appearing.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Let's find out who's right.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51The answer is...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55MI5 used Girl Guides as secret messengers.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Wonder if you got a badge for that?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Probably not. Wouldn't be a very good way of keeping it secret.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04So, that's the end of the round. Two points each for Harry and Isabel.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Fingers on buzzers please because this is the tie break question.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Beginning with the letter G, what did soldiers have to wear
0:12:10 > 0:12:13on their face to stop their lungs filling up with poison?
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Isabel?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Gas masks.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Gas mask is absolutely right.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Well done, Isabel. You've won yourself a Year Sphere.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Please collect it now. Isabel, as the quiz winner,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26you're also through to play the World War One game
0:12:26 > 0:12:30but will it be just you or will the others get to play too.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Let's find out.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's a single player silly game.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43So, Isabel, get down that Time Sewer with you.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48The trenches of the First World War were terrible places to be,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51made even worse by all the rats.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It's time to play...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Just like in the trenches, you've got to splat some rats.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02I'm not listening! # La, la, la, la! #
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Whack 15 rats within the time limit to win the Year Sphere
0:13:05 > 0:13:07and your time starts now.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08SIREN BLARES
0:13:08 > 0:13:09So, here goes Isabel,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12attempting to Vanquish Vile Vermin
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Rattus, you might want to look away here.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18I've a horrible feeling
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Isabel crowned me at the top of the show!
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Turns out Isabel crowned Rattus
0:13:24 > 0:13:25at the start of the show
0:13:25 > 0:13:28and that is surely a police matter.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31That helmet isn't enough to protect that rat
0:13:31 > 0:13:33from the inevitable concussion.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36So, Isabel has six bomps and she needs 15.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38She's doing well.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Seems very unfair to me, Dave.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Isabel comes across as being
0:13:43 > 0:13:45such a loving, caring, considerate child
0:13:45 > 0:13:48when, in fact, in reality, she's a monster!
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Well, that's the thing. Rats shouldn't be there
0:13:51 > 0:13:53if they don't want to get bopped on the head
0:13:53 > 0:13:56They're all wearing protective helmets now.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58It seems to have caught on.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01You might want one yourself, maybe a little bandana.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03You'd look quite nice.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Well, a bandana's not going to afford me
0:14:05 > 0:14:08any protection from a spade, is it? You clown!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10All right! Dear, oh dear!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Isabel has done it! Well, superb.
0:14:13 > 0:14:1515 rats bashed on the head
0:14:15 > 0:14:18and Isabel, the smiling assassin has done it.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Well done, Isabel. Congratulations.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26The soldiers didn't just whack rats
0:14:26 > 0:14:28that voluntarily popped their heads up.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Sometimes they'd smoke the rats out of their burrows using explosives.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Forcing us out of our homes! I mean, honestly, you people
0:14:36 > 0:14:38are whatever the equivalent is of inhumane.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41In-rat-humane. Huh! Or in-rat-aid.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Has anyone got a dictionary?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's the Terrible Tudors.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51And your four Tudor topics are...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59So, Harry, it's your turn to pick a topic first.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Cures.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05That is a question from my dear old chum, Rattus Rattus.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I thank you.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11One cure for sickness in Tudor times was known as fustigation
0:15:11 > 0:15:14but what did it involve? Was it...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17A - fanning someone to give them air.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19B - sitting in a smoke filled room.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Or C - beating them with a stick.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24A, B or C? Show me now.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Ooh, interesting. Isabel and Harry agreeing with B.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Christian out on his own with C.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32Rattus, what's the answer?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34The answer is...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37C - beating them with a stick.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Christian, your turn to choose a topic.- Deaths.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44See what you make of this one.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Let's see your answers.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03OK, the boys agreeing with B.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Isabel on her own this time with A. Let's find out.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09The answer is...
0:16:09 > 0:16:139 out of 10 Tudors died before their 40th birthday.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Dave?- Yeah.- Can you remember your 40th birthday
0:16:17 > 0:16:19or do your memories not go that far back?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- HE SIGHS - OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Let's just ignore Rattus. Isabel, your turn to pick a topic.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Palaces.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Palaces. Let's hear the question.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32I had a huge palace built in Surrey that was to be the biggest
0:16:32 > 0:16:35of all my building projects, a celebration of the power
0:16:35 > 0:16:38of the Tudor dynasty. But what did I call it?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Let's see your answers now please.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51OK. Total agreement on that one. Everybody thinks it's C.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53All right or all wrong?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57The answer's B. I called it Nonsuch Palace.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Because there's no such palace as grand as it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Get it? No such? Nonsuch?
0:17:03 > 0:17:05But I don't hear you laughing.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08FORCED LAUGHTER
0:17:08 > 0:17:09That's more like it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11You don't want to upset him.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15OK. To the final question in this round and it is a question on tax.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Let's hear what it is.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20My daughter Elizabeth I enforced a tax
0:17:20 > 0:17:22which only men could pay,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24but what was it a tax on?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Do you all have an answer in your heads?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Let's see those answers now please.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Christian, you and Isabel have agreed on A.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Harry has gone for B. What's the answer?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40The answer is...
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Just as well there wasn't a tax on all three!
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Actually what do I care? Tudor monarchs don't pay tax. Ha ha!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51So at the end of that round,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Christian and Isabel level on two points each.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's fingers on buzzers for you two.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Here we go with the tie break question.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Beginning with the letter E, what is the name of King Henry VIII's
0:18:01 > 0:18:04son and heir who died as a teenager.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Edward.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Edward is absolutely right, Christian. Well done.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15So, winning the quiz means that Christian is automatically through
0:18:15 > 0:18:17to play the Tudor game, but will he be alone
0:18:17 > 0:18:20or will the others get to play too? Let's find out.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's an all play brainy game.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29So, off down the Time Sewer with the lot of you.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Elizabeth I liked to look good in her portraits,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44which meant they had to look nothing like her.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Smallpox scars and years of wearing poisonous lead make-up,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50meant her good looks were long lost.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53So Elizabeth made artists copy paintings of her as a young woman
0:18:53 > 0:18:55rather than paint how she really looked.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's time to play...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Your challenge is to assemble two perfect copies
0:19:03 > 0:19:04of an Elizabeth portrait.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08The only problem is your two puzzles are made out of different pieces.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Complete your puzzles quickest to win the year sphere.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13In 3, 2, 1.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15SIREN BLARES
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Here we go then with Puzzling Portraits.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Christian in green, Harry in yellow
0:19:20 > 0:19:24and the rat murderer... Sorry! Isabel in brown.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27The girls are normally good at this.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Very good at thinking in two areas at once.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33They're very adept at multi-skilling, Dave.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'm not stereotyping in anyway, shape or form.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Girls are just better than boys in many, many ways.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Rattus, we'll get letters now!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Please don't write to me, write to him.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Isabel has made a tremendous start.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Two portraits well under way.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51That one on the left there all but done.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I can clearly make out Queen Elizabeth I there
0:19:54 > 0:19:56in her younger days, of course.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57As she got older,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00she got rather less attractive than that.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Yeah, her teeth fell out. - Harry, here he comes.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Doing extremely well. Look at this!
0:20:05 > 0:20:07He is well under way.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Very impressed with that performance,
0:20:09 > 0:20:13but Isabel's really getting the job done here.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16She's doing very well. A textbook performance.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Harry also doing well.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Christian lagging a little bit behind.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Isabel really getting there now.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Doing extremely well. Christian a long way off.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30A bit hanging over the frame there,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33but he won't trouble the winner here.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The winner about to be decided.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38She seems to have three or four pieces left.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Harry's doing extremely well. Wait a minute!
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Could be a late run from Harry,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44but he's left it too late.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Just one more piece for Isabel now.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49There it is. She's done it!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52There she is, celebrating with the double fist pump,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54the slight bounce, the ponytail swish.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58It's a three way celebration and it's much deserved.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Isabel help yourself to another Year Sphere. Well done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Isabel, you were absolutely magnificent. Did you find it easy?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- No. - Ever done two puzzles at once?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10No.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Will you be doing two puzzles at once in the future?- Never.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- That'll be it, your one time. - Yeah.- Superb.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20In Tudor times, everyone wanted to look like Queen Elizabeth.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24So they all desired flaming red hair, just like hers.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28And you won't believe what one of the ingredients of the dye was.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29I'll take a wild guess. Wee?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Yes, wee! How did you know?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Well, if you find it funny, it's probably got something to do
0:21:35 > 0:21:37with number ones or number twos.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Good. Moving swiftly on. Time for the final round,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44over to the Gory Grid one last time to find out what we've got.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47It's the Rotten Romans.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50But there's no quirky quiz in our final round.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53It's straight to our big all-play Roman end game.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55So, everyone limber up.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59That's lovely and then get down that Time Sewer.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Whenever Roman Emperor Vitellius wasn't eating,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07he liked to be eating.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Yes, old Vitellius liked to have four feasts a day
0:22:10 > 0:22:12so he needed a lot of feeding. Which is where you come in.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14It's time to play...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Collect Emperor Vitellius' favourite pheasant brain
0:22:19 > 0:22:23and flamingo tongue pies, grapes and fish, and fling them into his mouth.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26The person who gets the most in within the time limit
0:22:26 > 0:22:30wins the Year Sphere but, be warned, halfway through,
0:22:30 > 0:22:34a servant is going to spill a cauldron of garum sauce
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- made out of rotten fish guts. - Yummy!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40So things will get mighty slippy. Ready, steady,
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Fling those pies!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43SIREN BLARES
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Here we got then with foul feast.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47And Isabel scores immediately.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49What a superb score that was.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Look at that refusal of the fish.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Oh, dear me. The Roman catering supervisor, Keithus Maximus,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57will be very disappointed there.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01He just hit Isabel in the mouth with that pie.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03What is he playing at out there?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06This is the worst catering supervision we've ever seen.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09What a disgrace. Keithus, when he sees this back,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11he'll be very, very disappointed.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Carrying on regardless. Well played, contestants.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15Straight through.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Look at that,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20the traditional custard pie chuck.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22I love to see that.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I like a good custard pie chuck.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28He's great at it as well, the custard pie chuck.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29But not with a fish.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Terrible with a fish. It just doesn't work.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37That's what you do with a fish - fin over tail.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Or under arm, works that way too.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42No matter how you cut it,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Harry is in the lead.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47He's throwing magnificently.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50These fish have all been line caught,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54not hauled in with a great big stinky net.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Christian draws level.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58We are expecting the garum sauce
0:23:58 > 0:24:00any moment, aren't we?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- It's coming! - Oh!
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Christian has taken that right on his head.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Never seen anyone drenched
0:24:09 > 0:24:11in such a spectacular way.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13We'll see him in a minute.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Look at the state of him!- Poor boy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Absolutely covered in garum sauce, as is poor Isabel.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Dear oh dear! Harry's rolling around
0:24:23 > 0:24:24on the floor like a puppy.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Christian's down! - Christian is down.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30He's blinking it out of his eyes.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31SIREN BLARES
0:24:31 > 0:24:33There's the hooter.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It's over. Christian and Harry, both get Year Spheres
0:24:36 > 0:24:39but one wonders if any of them will ever stand up again?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Back you come everyone. Well done. Well done.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- How was that for you? - Gungy.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Christian, it landed on your head, didn't it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- What did it taste like? - Vinegar.- Horrible!
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Christian, if you could take yours first, please.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And Harry, collect yours as well, please.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Despite being a total glutton himself,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Emperor Vitellius actually killed his own mum
0:25:04 > 0:25:05by starving her to death.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07The clue's in the name.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Horrible Histories. - Absolutely.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Time to count up those Year Spheres
0:25:12 > 0:25:17AD dates are added to your total and BC dates subtracted from it.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Christian, we'll start with you.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Open up that first one.
0:25:21 > 0:25:241746 AD.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26The Battle of Culloden.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29377 BC.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33It's bad, but it's not a disaster.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35The death of Hippocrates, the father of medicine.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Let's have a look at the third one.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Oh, that's slightly worse. 4,000 BC.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Stone Age man started farming in Britain around that time.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Christian, you need this one to be a good one.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51It's a good one but it's not that good.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56It's 122 AD. Hadrian's Wall was built that year.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59So Christian, you have ended up
0:25:59 > 0:26:03with a score of -2509.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Isabel, it's your turn. Let's have a look at your first sphere please.
0:26:09 > 0:26:111348 AD.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15The Black Death hit England that year, but good news for you.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Let's have a look at that second sphere.
0:26:18 > 0:26:191479 BC.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23The Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut
0:26:23 > 0:26:25came to the throne that year.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27That takes you back into the minus points.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Your third sphere.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32It's 1861 AD.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36The death of Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39That means that you have gone into the lead, Isabel
0:26:39 > 0:26:42and you have a total of 1,730
0:26:42 > 0:26:45but, Isabel, you can be beaten by Harry.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Harry, lets have a look what you've got in that sphere.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's 1014 AD.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53King Swain Forkbeard became
0:26:53 > 0:26:56the first Viking King of England
0:26:56 > 0:27:00You've ended up with 1,014 points. It's not quite enough.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Isabel, you are today's winner.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04And do we have a prize for you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06No seriously, do we have a prize for her?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Indeed we do, Dave.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13I have sourced some beautiful French sausages from a 600 year old
0:27:13 > 0:27:16recipe all the way from the picturesque city of Orleans.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Wow. Well they actually sound rather delicious.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Specifically from the Siege of Orleans
0:27:21 > 0:27:25during the Hundred Years War when the trapped French peasants
0:27:25 > 0:27:28got so hungry, they ate their own fingers.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Bon appetit! - I should have known.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well con-rat-ulations, Isabel.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36There you go, Isabel. Sorry it's three fingers on a plinth.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Please don't eat it.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42It just remains for me to say thanks to Christian, to Isabel and to Harry
0:27:42 > 0:27:44and no thanks whatsoever to Rattus.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Your growing frustration is thanks enough, Dave.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- You've been watching Gory Games. Goodbye.- Goodbye.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55# Was that show messy enough for you
0:27:55 > 0:27:57# Or would you have preferred
0:27:57 > 0:27:58# A little more poo
0:27:58 > 0:27:59# Have you had your fill
0:27:59 > 0:28:01# Of blood, guts and gore
0:28:01 > 0:28:02# Or have we left you
0:28:02 > 0:28:04# Still wanting more?
0:28:04 > 0:28:05# Well, keep watching
0:28:05 > 0:28:08# We'll be back again
0:28:08 > 0:28:11# With Horrible History's Gory Games
0:28:11 > 0:28:12# Horrible History's
0:28:12 > 0:28:14# Gory Games.
