0:01:48 > 0:01:51The person with the highest year score at the end of the show

0:01:51 > 0:01:55will win a prize dredged out of the Time Sewer by Rattus Rattus.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58That's @horriblerattus#

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Get with the lingo, Grandad.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Time to crack on with round one.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Let's go over to the Gory Grid to find out what it's all about.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08It's the Awesome USA!

0:02:09 > 0:02:13So, four questions on the Awesome USA coming up.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19And your four Awesome USA topics are...

0:02:24 > 0:02:29- So, Dan, you get to pick first in this first round.- Civil War, please.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32The American Civil War it is.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35100 Union soldiers escaped the notorious Libby Prison

0:02:35 > 0:02:38through an abandoned area of the basement, known as...

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Show me now, please.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Well, Daniel thinks it's B, Eva and Shai both think it's A.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50What's the answer, please?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52The answer is A.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57They escaped through Rat Hell, which was swarming with thousands

0:02:57 > 0:02:59and thousands of rats.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Rat Hell? Sounds more like rat heaven to me.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Yes, I'm sure it does, but whatever it sounds like to you,

0:03:06 > 0:03:09that's a point to Eva and Shai, good start.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Eva, your turn to choose.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Gunpowder, please.- That is a question from Rattus Rattus.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18During the American Civil War, the Rebel Army in the South

0:03:18 > 0:03:21ran very short of gunpowder,

0:03:21 > 0:03:24because it was made by the Yankees in the North.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27They found a way to make it using what? Was it...?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Show me now, please.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38What's the answer, Rattus?

0:03:38 > 0:03:39The answer is C.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44You can also fire buffalo poo

0:03:44 > 0:03:47using a catapult made out of frog guts.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49We'll have to take your word for that, Rattus.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Well done, Shai, it's a thunderingly good start

0:03:52 > 0:03:54and it's your turn to pick a topic.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Can I have pets, please?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59In the 1820s, President John Quincy Adams

0:03:59 > 0:04:02used to hang out at the White House with his groovy pet.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03But what was it?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Show me now, please.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Oh! Everyone's gone for C. What's the answer?

0:04:14 > 0:04:16The answer is C.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21President Adams had a pet alligator.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Far out, dudes!

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Oh, I can't stand alligators.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28They eat rats like they were some kind of snack.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31- Crisps or something. - What, poo-flavoured crisps?

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Oh, someone should make those! They'd make a fortune.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Ugh! That's a point to everybody. Well played, well played.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43One category left and that category is presents.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48In 1802, what rad present did the American town of Cheshire

0:04:48 > 0:04:50give President Thomas Jefferson?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Let's see those answers.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01OK, Shai and Eva think it's A.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Dan thinks it's C. Let's find out.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08The answer is C.

0:05:08 > 0:05:14The town gave the President a cheese that weighed over 550 kilos.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Out of sight! They, like, sent the Big Cheese a big cheese!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21HE LAUGHS

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Well played, Dan, a good answer there.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26It was very close but, as we can see, at the end of that round,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Shai, you have won the first Year Sphere.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32And that means it's also time for me to say...

0:05:32 > 0:05:37All hail the Potty Pyramid!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41And, Shai, imagine it's your nose and pick carefully.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Yes, indeed. Because AD dates will be added to your total.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Of course, BC dates will be subtracted from it.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Now, winning the Awesome USA quiz means

0:05:52 > 0:05:56that Shai is automatically through to play the Awesome USA game.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58But will he be alone or will everyone get to play?

0:05:58 > 0:05:59Let's find out.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Oh, it's a single player game.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07So, Shai, off down the Time Sewer on your own.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Oh, it stinks!

0:06:13 > 0:06:16America's notorious gang, the Wild Bunch,

0:06:16 > 0:06:19robbed a train in 1899.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23Can you repeat their explosive exploits? As we play...

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Get the door to the carriage open to find three safes.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Then, connect the right cable and blow them up.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Until you find the one with the cash, and grab 50,000

0:06:34 > 0:06:37within the time limit to earn yourself a Year Sphere.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Although, if you've got 50,000,

0:06:39 > 0:06:41you probably don't care about the Year Sphere.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Oh, that's nonsense, of course you do!

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Go!

0:06:48 > 0:06:50So, the first thing this robber needs to do

0:06:50 > 0:06:53is actually get into the train carriage.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55It's Shai versus door.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57And surely, there can only be one winner here?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Although you have to say, the door's holding

0:06:59 > 0:07:01its own at the moment, Rattus.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03No, of course, Shai has won that battle!

0:07:03 > 0:07:05And he's through, over to the fuses now.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06He's got to find the right one here.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Oh, this part always makes me hungry.- Why is that, Rattus?

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- They look like intestines. Delicious!- Oh, for heaven's sake.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Well, I think that one's too short, I think we can all see that.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Shai has certainly seen it, he's back to the barrel.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22This one looks much longer, he's just got to get to be other end.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25He's running over, he's onto a winner here, Rattus.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26Block your ears up, look out!

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Boom!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30He runs over to have a look.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It doesn't look like the right one to me, Rattus.- No, Dave.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36You can tell that because there's not lots of money flying around.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38You're absolutely right. So, hang on, what's going on here?

0:07:38 > 0:07:40He's picked up another fuse!

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Only one of those fuses is long enough to reach.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46And that's the one that was in the other safe. That's not...

0:07:46 > 0:07:47You can stretch that as long as you like, Shai,

0:07:47 > 0:07:49you're going to have to revert to the other fuse.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Well, he's worked it out.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Fair play to him, Rattus, he's worked that out.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56The long fuse is attached, it's boom time!

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Boom! Oh, what a shame.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Time for Shai to do his Old Mother Hubbard,

0:08:02 > 0:08:04the cupboard is very much bare.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Now, he transfers that fuse to the final one.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Surely, Rattus, it's got to be in there, hasn't it?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Well, or someone's getting fired.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Hey!- The safe is fired, there's money everywhere.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Now he's got seven seconds to make 50 grand.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20I'm sorry, but that is not going to happen, is it, really?

0:08:20 > 0:08:21Bad luck, Shai.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Yep, it's all over. Let's see how he's feeling.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30I was committing a crime. So, it's good that I got caught.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Ah, bad luck, bad luck, Shai. Bad luck.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37No Year Sphere this time, but don't worry.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Still plenty more Year Spheres to play for.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- HE GASPS - Dave, look!

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Our car-poo karaoke is blowing up.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47What, not like the safe?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49- No, it means people love it. - Do they?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51# Because I'm whiffy...

0:08:51 > 0:08:55# Sing along if you feel like a message that just won't send

0:08:55 > 0:08:57# Because I'm whiffy...

0:08:57 > 0:09:01# Sing along if you feel like you're stuck in life's U-bend... #

0:09:01 > 0:09:05People on the internet like watching people singing in cars?

0:09:05 > 0:09:10- That's considered entertainment? - Yes, Dave. It's the future.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- I feel so old!- Time to get with the interwebs, Grandpa.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I'm going to make you an online sensation.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Oh, goody.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Maybe, before that, we can have round two.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22And to find out what's up next, let's go over to the Gory Grid.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's the Vile Victorians. Good day!

0:09:29 > 0:09:33And here are your all-important Vile Victorian topics...

0:09:39 > 0:09:42So, Eva, it's your turn to pick a topic first this time.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I think I'll go with surgery, please.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46True or false?

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Before the Victorians invented anaesthetics to numb pain,

0:09:49 > 0:09:51some surgeons would knock their patients out

0:09:51 > 0:09:53by punching them on the jaw. Paff!

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Is that true or is that false? Show me now, please.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Everybody thinks it's true. Let's find out if they're all right.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's true.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Note to self, never visit a Victorian surgeon.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Nowadays, of course, anaesthetics can be injected or inhaled as a gas.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Personally, I prefer gas.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14HE FARTS

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Agh!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Knockout!

0:10:22 > 0:10:24OK, that's a point to everyone there.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Well played, well played indeed.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Shai, your turn to pick a topic.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Queen Victoria, please.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33True or false? When the Shah of Persia visited Buckingham Palace

0:10:33 > 0:10:37in 1873, he surprised Queen Victoria by juggling with the Crown Jewels.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Is that true or is that false? Let's have a look at your answers.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44They all think it's false this time. What's the answer, please?

0:10:44 > 0:10:45It's false.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49In fact, the Shah surprised the Queen by sacrificing

0:10:49 > 0:10:52a sheep on one of her expensive carpets.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Funny, I thought the Queen liked a red carpet!

0:10:55 > 0:10:57HE LAUGHS He liked that one.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Excellent work, everybody, maximum points so far in this round.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- Dan, your turn.- Health, please. - Health.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Now, that is a prop question.

0:11:06 > 0:11:12- ALL:- Prop question, prop question, prop question!- Prop question!

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Yes, it's a new beard.

0:11:14 > 0:11:15True or false?

0:11:15 > 0:11:19In the Victorian era, doctors prescribed beards for men

0:11:19 > 0:11:20to keep them healthy.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Is that true or is that false?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Let's see your answers.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Well, I can tell you it is true!

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Yes!

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Yes, it was thought that beards acted as a filter

0:11:31 > 0:11:33for diseases in the air.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I can tell you, they don't.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37My facial hair traps diseases.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Only so I can pass them on.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Kisses, Dave?- Erm, maybe not.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44And for future reference and to save you time,

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- that will always be the answer.- Oh!

0:11:46 > 0:11:49So, excellent, Dan and Eva, another point for you,

0:11:49 > 0:11:51you're all still in this around, though.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55The final topic is Charles Dickens and here comes the question.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56True or false?

0:11:56 > 0:11:59As a child, Charles Dickens worked in a boot-blacking factory

0:11:59 > 0:12:01as a rat exterminator.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Oh, please be false, please be false!

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Show me those answers now, please.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Everyone thinks it's false.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09What's the answer?

0:12:09 > 0:12:11It's false.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Dickens used to put labels on jars of polish.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- Phewee!- Result for Rattus there.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Charles Dickens used his experiences in the factory

0:12:20 > 0:12:23to write the novels Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25I did not know that!

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Nor did I, I've just read it off this card.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Wow, what a round!

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Dan and Eva, maximum points,

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Shai, just for the moment, you're history.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38But, for you two, it's a tie-breaker situation.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Fingers on buzzers. Buzz in when you think you know the answer.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Beginning with the letter L, Florence Nightingale, the famous...

0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Eva?- Erm, was it...?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55A... Was it...?

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Oh, I've forgotten now!- You forgot?

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Oh, I thought that was going to be extraordinary.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01OK, the whole question for you then, Dan.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Beginning with the letter L, Florence Nightingale,

0:13:04 > 0:13:08the famous nurse, is often known as The Lady With The what?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Lady With The Lamp.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Lamp is correct! Congratulations, Dan.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14You can help yourself to a Year Sphere.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Excellent choice, or is it?

0:13:22 > 0:13:25OK, Dan, you're through to play the Victorian game,

0:13:25 > 0:13:28but will it just be you or will the others get to come along, too?

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Let's have a look.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33It's an All Play game!

0:13:33 > 0:13:36So, that means it's down the Time Sewer with the lot of you.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37Lead us off, Shai!

0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Oh, stink!- Oh, man, it really stinks in here.- Get some air conditioning.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47In Victorian times, they sent children up chimneys to clean them.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Hard to see how sending a filthy street urchin up a chimney

0:13:50 > 0:13:52would actually make it cleaner, but never mind.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Because it's time to play...

0:13:55 > 0:13:59You have to scramble up the chimney and shift four blockages.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01The first person to pop their sweep brush

0:14:01 > 0:14:02out of the chimney is the winner.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11And it's a nice, smooth start from everyone,

0:14:11 > 0:14:13and they're off to the first blockage, Rattus.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17Dan picks up his nest, he's heading back.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Eva and Shai close behind, or should I say hot on his heels?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Do you get it, Rattus, because of the fire?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Do I even need to say it, Dave?

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Leave the jokes to you? - Exactly.- Fine.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30This is all looking very close, it has to be said.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Victorian children would sometimes get stuck up narrow chimneys.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37I once got stuck up a drainpipe. It was terrible.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40It rained and I got washed completely clean.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Yeah, I wish we could arrange for that to happen again,

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Rattus, I don't mind telling you.

0:14:44 > 0:14:45Now, Shai has taken lead but,

0:14:45 > 0:14:49very quickly, Dan equalises and Eva's back in it, too.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52This is tight, this is very, very tight,

0:14:52 > 0:14:54but Shai is maintaining a slight advantage.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57That's three obstacles already.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Now, Eva's having a bit of trouble getting that nest free,

0:14:59 > 0:15:01and here comes the master chimney sweep

0:15:01 > 0:15:03to give Dan some encouragement.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Encouragement in the form of a poke with a pin!

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Well, it was horrible but it does seem to have worked,

0:15:08 > 0:15:09he scores again.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Amazing that children as young as five did this job, Rattus.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15I know! "Happy birthday, son. Here's your present, a brush.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17"Now, get up that chimney!"

0:15:17 > 0:15:20And Shai has completed his fourth and final obstacle.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23It's a straight arm race up the chimney now.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25There he is, hand over hand over hand.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27He's just got to get to the end,

0:15:27 > 0:15:29he's not going to be caught from here.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Watch his head hit the brush.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Boomer! Broom's out the end, Shai is the champion cleaner.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37How was that, fella?

0:15:37 > 0:15:41The hardest part was trying to untie the crows and the nest.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45But I've made up my time by being really fast on the trolley.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Congratulations, Shai.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Help yourself to another Year Sphere, fella.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Lovely. Lovely stuff.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00Oh, is that going to be important, that one? We'll find out later.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Right, Dave, I've set you up your own PooTube channel.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06A channel called Dave? That's never going to work, is it?

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Now, then, I want you to unpack this box in front of the camera.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Why?- It's an unboxing video.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15People like watching people unboxing things on the internet.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16Do they, really?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22This is going to contain a poo, isn't it?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- HE SIGHS - Dave, would I be so obvious?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Give me some credit.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Oh!

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- I thought you said it wouldn't be a poo.- It's not.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37- It's five poos.- Urgh!

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Can't believe that's happened again.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Right, round three

0:16:42 > 0:16:45and it's over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's the Groovy Greeks.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54Four questions, as always, and here are your four Greek topics.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02So, Shai, it is your turn to pick first this time.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- What are you going for? - Alexander the Great, please.

0:17:06 > 0:17:07Let's hear that question, please.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09True or false?

0:17:09 > 0:17:13Alexander the Great untied the supposedly impossible Gordian knot

0:17:13 > 0:17:15by setting it on fire.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Is that true or is that false?

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Let's see.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20What's the answer, please?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's...false.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Alexander the Great chopped the Gordian knot in two with his sword.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30He should really have been called Alexander the Cheat.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35He certainly should. Well, that's a point apiece for Eva and Shai.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Dan, pick a topic.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Guts, please.- Guts!

0:17:39 > 0:17:42That is a prop question.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Oh, prop question!

0:17:44 > 0:17:47- ALL:- Prop question! Prop question! Prop question!

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Prop question.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54The ancient Greeks read the future using the guts of dead birds.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56True or false?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Show me your answers, please.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01And the answer is that it is...true!

0:18:02 > 0:18:04I predict a short life for this bird.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08Points for everyone there. Lovely stuff. Lovely stuff.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Eva, what'll you have? - Can I have Aesop, please?

0:18:11 > 0:18:12You certainly can.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14True or false?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17The ancient Greek storyteller Aesop was richly rewarded

0:18:17 > 0:18:19by the Prince of Delphi for his work.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Show me now, please.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23What's the answer?

0:18:23 > 0:18:24It's false.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26They threw Aesop off a cliff.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I love a story with a happy ending.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Apparently, one of Aesop's stories is about a rat and an elephant.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38A nimble, clever rat and a slow, old, lumbering creature.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40Sound familiar, Dave?

0:18:40 > 0:18:44And the moral of this tale is never work with Rattus.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49That's a point apiece for Dan and Eva. Still all to play for.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53One topic remaining, and it is slaves.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55True or false?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Wealthy Greeks would send their slaves to sit on toilet seats

0:18:58 > 0:19:01to warm them up before they sat on them.

0:19:01 > 0:19:02Show me now, please.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04What's the answer, please?

0:19:04 > 0:19:05It's true.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Toasty. Nice.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Oh, yeah. There's nothing worse than a freezing cold toilet seat.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Except when you're licking it,

0:19:12 > 0:19:14cos sometimes you can get your tongue stuck.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Never engage him in conversation.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21A point apiece, then, for Dan and Eva.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24And at the end of that round, we can see that, with a full house,

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Eva is the winner of her first Year Sphere.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Help yourself.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38All the way round, eh? All the way around there. Lovely.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40So, as the winner of the Greek Quiz,

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Eva is through to play the Greek Game.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44But will it be just Eva,

0:19:44 > 0:19:47or will the others get to play as well? Let's find out.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52It's a single player game, Eva.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54So off down that Time Sewer, on your own.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Adios!- Adios, amigo!

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Have you got what it takes to be a Spartan warrior?

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Let's find out as we play...

0:20:08 > 0:20:13You are a young Spartan learning how to be a sneaky warrior.

0:20:13 > 0:20:14You need to climb through the vines

0:20:14 > 0:20:17and steal the sleeping soldier's lunch without waking him.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19But mind the bells.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Three rings and it's wakey-wakey!

0:20:22 > 0:20:24So, Eva, are you ready?

0:20:28 > 0:20:29Shh!

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Now, that first bell is the school bell.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33That doesn't count against her.

0:20:33 > 0:20:39- Eva making a cautious start, but cautious is good in this game.- Yeah.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Listen to that Spartan snoring.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44You know, Spartan boys really did learn to steal, Rattus.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45It's just like rat school.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Rats have a school? How big were your classes?

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Pretty small. Just 300 pupils. - Crikey.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52She's looking a little bit...

0:20:52 > 0:20:54BELL RINGS

0:20:54 > 0:20:55Oh, no! Now, that's bell number one.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59The Spartan is stirring, but he's back to sleep.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03She's right back to it, too, taking a lot of care now.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05And, Rattus, she's nearly through the first maze.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08- In fact, as I say that, she exits.- Excellent.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11This one's trickier, though, but I think Eva can handle this.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12BELL RINGS

0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Oh, no!- You jinxed her there, Dave!

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Oh, that was the commentator's curse, wasn't it, Rattus?

0:21:17 > 0:21:18She's only got one bell left now.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21She's going to have to be very careful indeed.

0:21:21 > 0:21:22BELL RINGS

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Oh, there goes the final bell! - No supper for Eva!

0:21:26 > 0:21:30No supper at all, Rattus, just a really angry Spartan.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32And he really does look furious.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34And sensibly, Eva's making a break for it.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37Wow, that's a close escape! Let's hear from her.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41The Spartan teacher was quite scary,

0:21:41 > 0:21:43because he chased me up the Time Sewer,

0:21:43 > 0:21:45but it was really, really fun.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Oh, unlucky there! Bad luck.

0:21:47 > 0:21:52Welcome back. No Year Sphere this time, I'm afraid.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54DAVE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:21:54 > 0:21:55Cheers.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Hey, you won't believe it, Rattus,

0:22:00 > 0:22:02but all your stupid videos have really paid off.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04I've now got a huge sponsorship for my channel.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Check it out! Check it out! Look! I've got even more hits than you.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10People love me. They love me!

0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yeah, you clearly haven't read the comments, have you?

0:22:13 > 0:22:14Hmm?

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Oh, good grief!

0:22:16 > 0:22:19That's not even spelled right!

0:22:19 > 0:22:21I'm retiring from public life.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Oh, shall I unblock you? - No! Never!

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Erm...

0:22:27 > 0:22:29You did remember to take out the poops?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31DAVE SCREAMS

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Oh, that's just brilliant, isn't it?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38It's the final round, so it's over to the Gory Grid

0:22:38 > 0:22:39to find out what we've got.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45It's the Incredible Inca.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Here's a game all about the Incan royal family

0:22:48 > 0:22:49that'll have you spitting.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Off down the Time Sewer with the lot of you.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52Come on!

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Off you go.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Yes, it's time for...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04You are servants to the Incan Emperor.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Your job is to catch his spitballs

0:23:06 > 0:23:09and deposit them in a bucket at the end of your lane.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12But watch out for the troublesome spitting llamas,

0:23:12 > 0:23:15who'll be making your jobs even more slippery.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18The person with the most royal spitballs gets the Year Sphere.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20The game starts in...

0:23:23 > 0:23:25HORN BLOWS

0:23:25 > 0:23:29Everyone's got their hankies and it's already raining spitballs!

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Oh, look at that. Shai's away already!

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Oh, my gosh. That one soaked her a bit.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38But Dan and Shai are both on the scoreboard already. Come on, Eva!

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Ah, there it is. Spitball number one and she's away.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Everyone's got phlegm in hand, they're racing down their lanes.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45It's a scoring frenzy, Rattus.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Shai's hungry for more.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Shai is very hungry... Oh, that's an incredible catch by Dan!

0:23:50 > 0:23:53If the Emperor wanted to spit, Rattus,

0:23:53 > 0:23:56a servant held out their hand and the Emperor spat into it!

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Doesn't sound like a great job.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Did you at least get to keep the spit?- No.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Not even if it was a big wobbly one? They're the best.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Especially if they're green. - Oh, crikey! I'll tell you what,

0:24:06 > 0:24:08I haven't seen this much mucus flying around

0:24:08 > 0:24:10since the last time you had a cold.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12I hate colds, but I love mucus.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Oh!

0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Here come the llamas! - There they are!

0:24:15 > 0:24:19They're going to be spitting on our contestants now.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21And back at the game, Dan has a slight lead,

0:24:21 > 0:24:23which he's just increased.

0:24:23 > 0:24:266-4-2. All even numbers.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30Shai's spoiling that pattern and that llama looks furious about it!

0:24:30 > 0:24:32- Oh, they're livid llamas! - They are!

0:24:32 > 0:24:34They need to wind their necks in for my money, Rattus.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36They really, really do.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Llama spit, Emperor phlegm.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41- This is one of the most disgusting games yet.- Oh, yes!

0:24:41 > 0:24:45- And I love it, Dave! - I bet you do, I bet you do.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46The toll of the bell.

0:24:46 > 0:24:4830 seconds to go in the game.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Who is going to take this? It's very close.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Oh, my goodness me!

0:24:53 > 0:24:58That is what you call a wipe-out! And wipe being the operative word.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Someone's nose is going to need a good'un.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well, that's unfortunate, isn't it, Rattus?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Oh, yes. It's unfortunate but very funny.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Yeah, all right. I'll give you that. It is a little bit funny.

0:25:07 > 0:25:08I'll tell you what.

0:25:08 > 0:25:13If I had to describe this - absolute phlegmageddon.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14It's all over.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17Dan has won the final Year Sphere.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18I couldn't get the last snotball in

0:25:18 > 0:25:22because I kept slipping and I had to go legs first,

0:25:22 > 0:25:23for if I went feet first,

0:25:23 > 0:25:26I would've fallen over and splattered it,

0:25:26 > 0:25:27so I'd get even more wet.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Ah, good work, everybody! Excellent stuff. Well done, Dan.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33Go and choose yourself a Year Sphere.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Excellent work.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40I hope this is a good one.

0:25:41 > 0:25:42That's it.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46All the Year Spheres have been won, and now it's time to count them up.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49And remember, AD dates are added to your total

0:25:49 > 0:25:52and BC dates are subtracted from it.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Here we go.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58All right, Dan. Let's have a look at your first one.

0:25:58 > 0:26:021929 AD. The Wall Street crash was that year.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Let's have a look at that second one, Dan.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Oh, 1865 AD!

0:26:07 > 0:26:11Abraham Lincoln was assassinated that year. It's a good score.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13Eva, I don't think you can catch him,

0:26:13 > 0:26:16but let's have a look inside that sphere.

0:26:16 > 0:26:191662 AD.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23The last sighting of the dodo was that year.

0:26:23 > 0:26:24Right, then, Shai. This is it.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26This is where the game will be won or lost.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Let's have a look at that first one.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Oh, it's where the game will be lost!

0:26:32 > 0:26:353600 BC.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38The first known mummification in Egypt round about then.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Let's have a look at the second one.

0:26:41 > 0:26:441776 AD.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47The US Declaration of Independence was that year.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50But it's not going to make any difference.

0:26:50 > 0:26:55Dan, you have plucked up 3,794 points,

0:26:55 > 0:26:59which means that you are this week's winner.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02It also means that you deserve a fantastic prize.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Sadly, this is Gory Games,

0:27:04 > 0:27:06and you'll be going home with something unspeakable

0:27:06 > 0:27:09that's been dredged out of the Time Sewer by Rattus.

0:27:09 > 0:27:10And it's a belter.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13Cixi's fingernails.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16She was the mother and aunt of a few Chinese emperors.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20She had a son and one of her nephews killed just for disobeying her.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22That is harsh parenting.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26Anyway, she grew her fingernails really, really, really long.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Why on earth did she do that?!

0:27:28 > 0:27:31So she could scratch servants as she passed by.

0:27:31 > 0:27:32Of course.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36Here you go, Dan. Be careful not to scratch herself.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38Thank you very much, Dave.

0:27:38 > 0:27:39You've taken it very well.

0:27:40 > 0:27:41Time now, I'm afraid,

0:27:41 > 0:27:47for our two gallant runners-up to head home via the Time Sewer.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49And Shai doesn't look happy about it. He doesn't look happy at all.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52Hope you have a good time through the gunge!

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Oh, Eva, you've only just got cleaned up.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Well, he's been Rattus "Trending" Rattus.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01And he's been Dave "Broke The Internet" Lamb.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Oh, no, I haven't, have I? I won't have to pay for that, will I?

0:28:03 > 0:28:05- RATTUS SIGHS - I give up.

0:28:05 > 0:28:06EVA SCREAMS

0:28:08 > 0:28:11- You've been watching Gory Games. - Bye!

0:28:11 > 0:28:13# Horrible Histories: Gory...

0:28:13 > 0:28:15# Games! #
