0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Ow! OW! - Oh, Dave, what's the problem?
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- It's my ankle, it's really swollen. - Oh, let Dr Rattus have a look.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Take your shoe off and let's have a peep.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14HE SNIFFS INTENTLY
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Oh-ho-ho!
0:00:18 > 0:00:22Oh, sorry, Dave - can't resist a cheesy sock!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Anyway, that ankle does look a bit swollen.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29- Yeah, at your ripe old age, it's probably the rheumatism.- Really?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Mmm. I'll pop down the pharmacy.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Don't be too long, Rattus, the show's about to start.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# If mummies, rats and fleas ain't your thing
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# And you don't like the sound of an exploding king
0:00:43 > 0:00:46# If you're easily scared and don't laugh at poo
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# Better turn off This show ain't for you
0:00:49 > 0:00:53# Still watching? Then let's test your brains
0:00:53 > 0:00:55# With Horrible Histories Gory Games
0:00:55 > 0:00:57# Horrible Histories Gory...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# ..Games! #
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Hello, and welcome to Gory Games. I'm Dave Lamb.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And I'm Rattus Rattus.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Quick, Dave, put that on.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- It's a cure for rheumatism. - What is it?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Well, it's some donkey skin. I got it from a Tudor pharmacy.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- A Tudor pharmacy?- Yeah, go on, put it on. What have you got to lose?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- Er...- Just my dignity, as it turns out - again!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Time to meet our Horrible Historians.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Hi, my name's Ruhama, and I'm from London.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Hi, I'm Ben, and I'm from Wiltshire.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Hi, I'm Charlotte, and I'm from Leeds.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Welcome, everyone. Right, you lot are playing to win Year Spheres.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46The person with the highest year score at the end of the show
0:01:46 > 0:01:49will win a prize fished - or should that be flushed -
0:01:49 > 0:01:52out of the Time Sewer by Rattus Rattus.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Uh, that's Dr Rattus Rattus MD CBBC PhFlea.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Yes... Time to crack on with round one.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Let's find out what it's about by going over to the Gory Grid.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08It's the Measly Middle Ages.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12So, four questions on the Measly Middle Ages coming up.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The person who gets the most right wins the first Year Sphere.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18And your four Measly Middle Ages topics are...
0:02:23 > 0:02:27So, Ruhama, it's your turn to pick first in this first round.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Which would you like? - Can I have Kings, please?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34In 884, who became the king of Western Francia?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Show me now, please.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45OK, what's the answer?
0:02:45 > 0:02:46The answer is...
0:02:49 > 0:02:52It's true, or my name isn't Sam the Stinky.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Which it is. It absolutely is. Well done, Ben, an excellent start.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- What would you like, Ben? - I would like Peasants, please.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02In the early Middle Ages, peasants, or churls,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05made their homes out of wattle and daub.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Wattle was made of long slender hazel branches woven together,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11but what was the daub?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16A mix of water, mud, straw... and what?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24And the answers now, please.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25What's the answer, please?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27The answer is...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Which is also what holds my clothes together.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34One of the many reasons the Middle Ages is in my top three eras.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Yes, I can well believe it. Excellent work.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40We're all level pegging again. There are two categories left.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Charlotte, you get to choose this time.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Monsters, please.- Monsters. That is a question from Rattus Rattus.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49In the Middle Ages... My favourite era!
0:03:49 > 0:03:54..people believed in monsters from far-off lands.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59One such monster was a bonnacon, but what is it?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Is it A, a giant monkey that spat at you,
0:04:03 > 0:04:08B, a giant rat with a lethal spiky tail,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12or C, a giant bull that attacked you with its poo?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Show me now, please.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16What's the answer, Rattus?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17The answer is...
0:04:19 > 0:04:23People in the Middle Ages believed a bonnacon was a giant bull
0:04:23 > 0:04:25that used projectile poo as a weapon.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, beware of the bull!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36So, Ruhama and Ben take a slender lead with one category left.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Rattus, can I take these donkey ears off now, please?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Oh, no, no, no, no-one will notice you're wearing them anyway.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45You look just the same. Hee-haw!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Brilliant. So glad I asked! The final topic is Popes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52What did Pope Innocent VIII do on his deathbed to try
0:04:52 > 0:04:53and prolong his life?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01..Or C, drink the blood of living children?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Let's see those answers.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- What is the answer, please? - The answer is...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Pope Innocent VIII drank the blood of living children
0:05:10 > 0:05:12in an attempt to prolong his life.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Pope, maybe, but innocent? Not so much.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Eurgh... Well, that's the end of the round.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Ruhama and Ben, you've done extremely well -
0:05:22 > 0:05:23three points a piece.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Bad luck, Charlotte. For now, you are history.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28We are entering a tie-breaker situation.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31KLAXON
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Beginning with the letter A,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36what was the name of the mythical English king who had a round table?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38King...?
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Ruhama.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Arthur.- Arthur is correct.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Well done, Ruhama - you've won the quiz.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Time to choose your Year Sphere,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and that means it's time for me to say...
0:05:48 > 0:05:53VOICE ECHOES: All hail the Potty Pyramid!
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Hee-haw!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56TRIUMPHANT CHORAL MUSIC
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Ruhama, help yourself.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04And choose wisely, because AD dates will be added to your total score
0:06:04 > 0:06:07and of course BC dates will be subtracted from it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Stick it on the podium. We'll find out what's in there later.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Now, winning the Middle Ages quiz means that Ruhama is automatically
0:06:13 > 0:06:16through to play the Middle Ages game, but will she be alone
0:06:16 > 0:06:18or will everyone get to play? Let's find out.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Oh, it's a single-player game,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28so Ruhama, off down the Time Sewer on your own, please.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Eurgh, it stinks!- Yeah, eurgh!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's time for a swine of a game
0:06:37 > 0:06:40featuring one of the most unusual musical instruments ever invented.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yes, it's time to play...
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Unbelievably, King Louis XI of France actually had one of these.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Each key poked a spike into a different-sized pig.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Their squeals formed a musical note. All you have to do is listen
0:06:55 > 0:07:00and repeat a sequence of piggy squeals which gets longer each time.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Remember, nine in a row and you've got yourself a Year Sphere.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06In three, two, one...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Squeal!
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Yes, this is a Gory Games classic. The first sequence is four squeals.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Let's see how she gets on.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16PIGS SQUEAL Yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Lovely. Terrific!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21No problems there. Five this time.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Remember, she needs to complete a sequence of mine squeals to win.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Here she goes. PIGS SQUEAL
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Terrific. Yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Textbook. Smashing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Ruhama's making this look easy, isn't she, Rattus?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40She certainly is, Dave.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I've got an old recording of a pig piano,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45but there's a lot of crackling.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47DAVE CHUCKLES Oh, I say!
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Of course, if the pigs hit the wrong notes, they get a rights roasting!
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Oh...! DAVE LAUGHS
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Hey, Rattus, Rattus, this game is squeal-y good!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59RATTUS SIGHS
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Sque... Squeal-y good... OK...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Let's get back to the game, shall we?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Ruhama's doing extremely well, here. That's one. That's two.- Two.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- PIG SQUEALS Three. Successful.- Three.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12- Four.- Four.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Yes, five.- Five.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Yes, six.- Six!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Seven!- Seven!- She is cruising along here, isn't she?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Eight to come next. Can she do it, Rattus - yes or no?- Yes!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I've put him on the spot. He thinks she's going to do it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Let's find out.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Yes, Rattus!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- SQUELCHING Oh!- Oh!- And there's so much poo!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It was a fantastic effort, but there's no Year Sphere.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Let's get Ruhama's reaction.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48It was really annoying to get so close and not finish it properly,
0:08:48 > 0:08:53and it was horrible being squirted by the poo cos it was so disgusting.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Oh, bad luck, Ruhama. Bad luck.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59No Year Sphere this time, but plenty more still on offer.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Dave, how's the ankle?- Oh, it's not good, Rattus. It's no better.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Actually, this is coming off. HE SPLUTTERS
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Look, I think I know why that didn't work.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Because it was a load of old hocus-pocus nonsense?- No.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You've got gout!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16So I've also picked up this Tudor cure.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19It's a mix of worms, pig marrow and herbs
0:09:19 > 0:09:21all brought together with a red-haired dog.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Oh, that sounds terrible. - Just rub some on your foot.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27No, Rattus, get off me!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Bad rodent! Bad rodent! - There we are. How does that feel?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Well, slippy. Mostly slippy...!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Oh! Argh!
0:09:34 > 0:09:39Oh, great! Now I've got a headache as well.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Thank you, Dr Rattus!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43GIGGLING
0:09:43 > 0:09:44On to round two.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47To find out what's next, it's over to the Gory Grid.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's the Awful Egyptians.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56And here are your awful Egyptian topics.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04So, Ben, it's your turn to start us off this time.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Which one of those do you fancy?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08I'll pick Tutankhamun, please.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12True or false - Tutankhamun had his own personal nose picker that
0:10:12 > 0:10:14would pick bogies from his nose?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Show me now, please. What's the answer?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18It's...true!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22And the Pharaoh's nose picker was paid three head of cattle.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- As well as all the bogeys he could eat.- Well played, everybody.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29That's a point a piece. A very, very good start indeed.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Charlotte, it's your turn to pick. - War, please.- War.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Let's hear that question.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37True or false - the ancient Egyptians were almost
0:10:37 > 0:10:40always at war, fighting other nations?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Is that true, or is that false? Show me now, please.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45What's the answer, please?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46It's...false.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50The deserts around Egypt meant it had no direct neighbours,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52so no constant military threat.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Smug face!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Wow, well played, Ruhama. Another point for you there.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- And it's your turn to pick a topic. - Can I have Cleopatra, please?
0:11:01 > 0:11:06True or false - Cleopatra bathed in camel's milk to keep her skin soft?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Is that true, or is that false? Show me now, please.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Everybody thinks it's true. What's the answer, please?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's...false.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20Cleopatra bathed in donkey's milk. Camel's milk - as if!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I've been known to shower in donkey's wee.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24That's a lovely image I'm not getting rid of quickly.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Thanks for that, Rattus.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Excellent. One more topic left in this round. Everything to play for.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33It's on Ramesses II, and it is a prop question.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Prop question!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36BOTH: Prop question, prop question!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39That is a bull's tail.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45Pharaoh Ramesses II wore a bull's tail pinned to his back -
0:11:45 > 0:11:48is that true, or is that false? Show me now, please.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51The answer is...that it is true.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53As part of his kingly apparel,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Ramesses II did wear a bull's tail pinned to his back.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Quite right, too!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02All great leaders should have something pinned to their back.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Oh, hang on...
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Is there anything pinned to my...? Is there anything pinned to my back?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Is...? Come on, be honest. Is there anything pinched to my back? No?
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- No, there isn't?- No.- There isn't!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Well, you missed a trick there, Rattus. Missed a trick!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19There's a point a piece.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And at the end of that round, we can see that Ruhama,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24you have won yourself another Year Sphere.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Go and pick it up.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28TRIUMPHANT CHORAL MUSIC
0:12:31 > 0:12:34OK, Ruhama, you're through to play the Egyptian game, but will
0:12:34 > 0:12:36it be just you, or will the others get to play too?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Let's find out.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Yeah! It's an all-play game, so come on, all of you down the Time Sewer.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49It stinks!
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Poo-ee!
0:12:53 > 0:12:56This next game consists of a pile of blocks that have to be
0:12:56 > 0:12:59transformed into three spectacular pyramids.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's a puzzle to make pyramids, so we've called it...
0:13:05 > 0:13:07It's important to get everything in the right order,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11otherwise your pyramid will be bang out of order. OK, let's do this.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13In three, two, one...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15HORN SOUNDS Go!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17We've made a small but fiendish change to this game, Rattus.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Now the contestants' blocks are all piled up at the back.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23They've got to find the correct pieces to build with,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and everyone is getting their bases in order.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29But oh, my goodness, they've woken up some mummies,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30and boy, do they look grumpy!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Well, wouldn't you be if you were woken up during a nap?- I would, yes.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Ruhama backing away there from that mummy, clinging to her piece.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Well, Charlotte's ploughing on regardless.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44And it looks like the mummies are off to scare someone else.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Well, what an interesting interlude that was.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48It's very close at the moment, isn't it?
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Everyone on the second layer.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Pyramids, of course, the last resting place
0:13:51 > 0:13:53for the great Egyptian Pharaohs.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Dave, a little fact - great rat kings are also buried in pyramids.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Of poo?- Of course. - Nice. I thought they might be.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05I really thought... Did you see that little dance from Ben there?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07A little premature celebration, I thought.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Well, you know, who knows? He might actually win it, Rattus.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14You never, never know, not with the giant pyramids.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's a bit early at this stage of the game, Dave, to be honest.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I agree with you. Ruhama... Oh! Did you see her kick that off...?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Give it a good kick! - Just hoofed it one.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Just hoofed it one, and rightly so, in my opinion.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27But look at that - you can see behind that Ben...
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I mean, Charlotte's doing well, but Ben is high up here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32He is about to start his third layer.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Look at him, he's picking up two pieces at once.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38I mean, we're going to consult with the rule book - is that cheating?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- PAGES RUSTLE - It is perfectly legal, Dave.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44It is legal - I've checked with the rule book. That's above board.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46But look at them, they're neck and neck.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48It's even-stevens, they're at loggerheads,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51they're all on the same storey of the pyramid.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54But no! Ben's just knocked half of his down,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and out of nowhere, look at Ruhama!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59She's come from nowhere. There goes the top piece!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03She is the best Egyptian. Let's hear what she thought.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I felt the pressure because Ben and Charlotte were catching up,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and I tried to run everywhere to get the pieces, and it was really hard.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11How about those mummies, Ben?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13They did actually put me off quite...a bit...
0:15:13 > 0:15:15MUMMY GROANS
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Oh, well done, everybody. Well done. Congratulations, Ruhama.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23TRIUMPHANT CHORAL MUSIC
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Superb work. What's in there, we'll find out later.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Hello, Rattus, what is this? - Oh, it's for your headache, Dave.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I've been to a Roman pharmacy this time.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Just pop your hand in there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38It's not made from some other poor dead creature, is it?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Absolutely not.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44HE YOWLS, ELECTRICITY BUZZES
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Argh!
0:15:47 > 0:15:52It's a live one. An electric eel - a Roman cure for headaches.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Ow!
0:15:54 > 0:15:55OW!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Ow...
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Forgotten about the headache, though, haven't you?- WHIMPERS: Ow...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Right, round three. Over to the Gory Grid to find out what's up next.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09It's the Awesome USA.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11So, four questions, as always,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and here are your four Awesome USA topics.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So, Charlotte, it's your turn to lead us off.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Which of those would you like? - Big Nose George, please.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Big Nose George. OK, then.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31True or false - Wild West outlaw Big Nose George was arrested
0:16:31 > 0:16:36and hanged in 1881, and afterwards, his skin was made into a saddle?
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Is that true, or is that false? Show me now, please.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Let's find out if they're all right, or if they're all wrong.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44It's...false.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Big Nose George's skin was turned into a pair of shoes.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50The new Governor of Wyoming then wore
0:16:50 > 0:16:53the shoes at a ball in his honour.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Whoa... Bad vibes, man.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57No points there, I'm afraid, everybody.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Ruhama, it's your turn to pick.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Can I have Black Bart, please?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03You certainly can.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08True or false - the famous Wild West outlaw Black Bart would
0:17:08 > 0:17:11leave behind poems after robbing stagecoaches?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Is that true, or is that false? Show me, please.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17They all think it's true. Are they right this time?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18It's...true.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Out of sight, man!
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Imagine that, the polite Black Bart has taken your treasure,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27No need to thank me, it was my pleasure.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Can't think of anything that rhymes with Bart. Hold on, I've got it!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33HE BREAKS WIND
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So sorry you had to hear that. That's a point in a piece, though,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42a point a piece. Lovely stuff. And Ben, it's your turn to pick.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48- I'd like to pick Lincoln, please. - Now that is a prop question.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Prop question, prop question, prop question!
0:17:51 > 0:17:55This is an Abraham Lincoln beard and hat, in that order.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56And here is your question.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00True or false - Abraham Lincoln grew his famous beard
0:18:00 > 0:18:04because he was told to do so in a letter from an 88-year-old granny?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Is that true, or is that false? Let's have a look.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10You know that beard suits you, Dave? Hides your face a bit.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Thanks for that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14And I can tell you, the answer is,
0:18:14 > 0:18:15it's false.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Congratulations.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Lincoln was told to grow his beard
0:18:18 > 0:18:20in a letter from an 11-year-old girl.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24And I think if all presidents took the advice of an 11-year-old girl,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26the world would be a safer place.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Congratulations, there's a point a piece there.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32It's all to play for. Very exciting, one topic left.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33It is a question from Rattus Rattus.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39True or false? In 1607, the first settlers founded Jamestown,
0:18:39 > 0:18:44but they had no reliable food supply and starvation soon set in.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50By 1609, some settlers got so hungry, they ate human poo.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Is that true, or is that false? Show me now, please.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Rattus, what's the answer?
0:18:56 > 0:19:01- It's true!- Eurgh! - What's the problem?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05What do you mean, what's the problem?! Crikey. Eurgh!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Well, that's a point for Ben and a point for Charlotte.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13And that means we are in a tie-breaker situation.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15KLAXON
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Beginning with the letter W, the home of the President
0:19:18 > 0:19:20of the United States is called the WHAT House?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- Ben.- The White House.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24The White House is correct. Well done, Ben.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Help yourself to a Year Sphere.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30TRIUMPHANT CHORAL MUSIC
0:19:31 > 0:19:34OK, Ben, as the winner of the Awesome USA quiz,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37you're through to play the Awesome USA game.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39But will it be just you, or is everyone else coming along?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Let's find out.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Oh, it's a single-player game, so off you go down the Time Sewer.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Ooh, iffy!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53It's America, 1899,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55and you're robbing a train with the notorious Wild Bunch.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yes, it's time to play...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Get the carriage door open to reveal three safes,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05attach the right cable and blow them up
0:20:05 > 0:20:08until you find the one with the cash.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Then grab 50,000 before the time runs out to get
0:20:11 > 0:20:12yourself a Year Sphere.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Three, two, one...
0:20:15 > 0:20:16TRAIN HORN
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Ben steps off his imaginary horse and tries to get into the carriage.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Several bolts, of course, to get through,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25but he's making short work of them, and he is in.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Straight to the barrel.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Now, he tosses rope after rope aside until he finds the one he likes.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Ooh, I like that one too! It's like a big long lovely tail.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Crikey, I'd hate to meet the rat that that tail belongs to.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Well, he's doing excellently here.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41The rope's connected, he's heading back.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Here it comes, Rattus, already!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Ka-boom! - But there's nothing in there.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48He's going to have to go again. He already has. Crikey!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51He's wasting no time here. Second explosion coming.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Boom!
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Empty again. I think Ben just likes blowing things up, Rattus.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- It's got to be in this one, hasn't it?- Surely.- It absolutely has to be.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Here we go.- Boom!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well, I think Ben has used too much dynamite -
0:21:05 > 0:21:07just like the real Wild Bunch.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I think you might be right, Rattus.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11There is cash everywhere, but keep your eye on that cash-o-meter,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15because he's got to get 50,000 into his over-the-shoulder bag
0:21:15 > 0:21:17to win the Year Sphere.
0:21:17 > 0:21:23Is he going to do this? He's still got 14 seconds. Keep your eyes left.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25The cash is creeping up, it's filling up fast.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30He's going to do it, I think, but it's going to be close. Yes!
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Benny the Bandit has won himself a Year Sphere. Marvellous stuff.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Any plans for all that dosh, fella?
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Now I've got all this money,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I'm probably going to spend it on a house,
0:21:42 > 0:21:47maybe on some new furniture, but definitely a gold bar.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Gold bar - nice.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Congratulations, Ben. Superb work.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Help yourself to another Year Sphere.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Superb, superb, superb.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57TRIUMPHANT CHORAL MUSIC
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Oh, Rattus, what is that?!
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Well, it's a mixture of wine and goat poo -
0:22:05 > 0:22:07a Roman cure for broken ribs.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10There is nothing wrong with my ribs.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12No, but I think I've broken some of me own...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14..laughing at you!
0:22:14 > 0:22:16RATTUS LAUGHS
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Oh, oh, oh, quick, Dave, rub on, rub on some of the goat poo, go on.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21I'm not touching you with that.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I mean, it's bad enough touching you without that,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26but I'm not touching you with that. All right, have we got that?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28OK, it's the final round, so it's over to the Gory Grid
0:22:28 > 0:22:29to find out what we've got.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It's the Terrible Tudors.
0:22:33 > 0:22:38As ever, no quiz - just our big, all-play endgame.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So it's back down the Time Sewer with the lot of you, please.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Bye.- Thank you, Charlotte. Bye.- Woo!
0:22:46 > 0:22:50King Henry the Eighth? More like King Henry the ATE!
0:22:50 > 0:22:51It's time to play...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56His Royal Roundness certainly liked his grub,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58so fling the pies into his gob.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Whoever gets the most pies into his kingly cakehole
0:23:01 > 0:23:04within the time limit gets the Year Sphere.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07In three, two, one...
0:23:07 > 0:23:09KLAXON Feed the monster!
0:23:09 > 0:23:14It's pies all round, as everybody lines up.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15And they all miss.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- That's a disappointing start, wasn't it, Rattus?- It is, I'm afraid, Dave.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Someone's got to score first. Who's it going to be?
0:23:20 > 0:23:21It's Ben!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Ben gets us off the mark, thankfully.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26That was looking like 0-0 for a while there.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29But Ruhama's scored now. She's notched...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Just Charlotte, to see if she can catch up.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35And right on cue, she most certainly does.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Well, superb stuff this, it's close at the top.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Charlotte forges into the lead.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42They're throwing these like Frisbees, aren't they, Rattus?
0:23:42 > 0:23:43They certainly are, Dave.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45And a little tip here, viewers - unlike pies,
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Frisbees are not good to eat. I've tried, they're way too plasticky.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Well, what passes for words of wisdom from Rattus there.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Ruhama scores again. Well...
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Oh, and Charlotte replies instantly!
0:23:59 > 0:24:01That is superb pie-ing.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03BELL TOLLS
0:24:03 > 0:24:05And there, the toll of the bell.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Charlotte makes it four, look! Wonderful stuff.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Did they really have inflatables back in Tudor times, Dave?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Yes - Henry's stomach!
0:24:12 > 0:24:14RATTUS LAUGHS
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oh, I love it when you laugh at my jokes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17It makes me feel all warm inside.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21And Ruhama gets a pie, and that's three.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Followed by Ben. Yes, nice.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26That's Ben on two, but is it too little too late?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29A last frantic effort from everyone. Feeding time is nearly over.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30KLAXON
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Oh, it's completely over, and Charlotte wins the Year Sphere.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Did that make you hungry, Charlotte?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I love pies.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39I love apple pies, any type of pie.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Not these kind of pies.- Who would?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Tremendous work.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Congratulations, Charlotte, help yourself to the final Year Sphere.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50TRIUMPHANT CHORAL MUSIC
0:24:50 > 0:24:54So, it's time for us to count up those Year Spheres,
0:24:54 > 0:24:59and remember, AD dates are added, and BC dates are subtracted.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02OK, Ruhama, let's have a look at that first one of yours.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Oh! It's a BC. That could bring the others into the game.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14But it's not a disaster. 287 BC - Archimedes was born that year.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Let's have a look at the second one.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20That's a better one. 1452 AD -
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Leonardo da Vinci was born that year.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24And that third and final one.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Oh, it's another BC, but again, it's a small one.
0:25:30 > 0:25:3127 BC this time.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Caesar Augustus became the first Roman emperor that year.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36So you're in the positive,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38but it does open the door for the other two.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Ben, let's have a look at your first sphere.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Ooh, again, it's small but it's positive.
0:25:44 > 0:25:4879 AD - Mount Vesuvius erupted that year.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50And your second one, please, Ben.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Now, that's solid.
0:25:52 > 0:25:551845 AD - the great potato famine
0:25:55 > 0:25:57began in Ireland that year.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00You're nicely in the positive, but you can be caught.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Now, Charlotte, I'm going to come and help you with yours.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Let's have a look at this.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07I can hardly watch...
0:26:07 > 0:26:111859 AD. Excellent.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15The pony express was invented in America that year.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19By the thinnest of margins, it is Ben who is this week's winner,
0:26:19 > 0:26:23with a total of 1,924 points.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25So, congratulations, Ben.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Time for you to collect your "prize",
0:26:28 > 0:26:30as selected by Rattus Rattus.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Please tell me this is not another one of your terrible cures, Rattus.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41Well, Dave, it's the fat of a lion, a hippo, a crocodile,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44a tom cat, snake and a Nubian ibex
0:26:44 > 0:26:48mixed together to make an ancient Egyptian cure for baldness.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52No, Rattus, no. I am not trying it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- Careful!- There you go, Ben.
