0:00:54 > 0:00:58and turn the epicosity to maximum, because we're going to show you
0:00:58 > 0:01:00how to do one of the coolest sports ever.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Surfing is epic - fact.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09All you need to be great is a surfboard,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12a big wave and a one-to-one lesson with a surf champ.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Oh, look, there is one - it's Hannah Harding. She is epic.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hi, I'm Hannah Harding.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I've won the English Championships and the UK Tour
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and I'm going to show you how to be epic at surfing.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Let's surf!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30OK, so you'll be lying on your surfboard
0:01:30 > 0:01:32and you need to look behind you for the wave.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Once you see it coming, you need to start paddling
0:01:34 > 0:01:38to build up the speed to match the momentum of the wave.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40OK, let's surf.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- You need to then pop up.- Oh.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And to do so, you put your hands on the deck of the board
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and lift you weight up and pop to your feet.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Right, let's surf!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Really important to keep your knees bent and arms out
0:01:54 > 0:01:55and then you're surfing.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Surf now? Yes!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00# If everybody had an ocean
0:02:00 > 0:02:02# Across the USA... #
0:02:02 > 0:02:04So, to be epic at surfing you need to...
0:02:04 > 0:02:06paddle like crazy when you see a wave,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09pop up, keep your knees bent, arms out
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and ride your wave all the way to the beach.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Or fall off.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And that, you little rippers, is how to be epic at surfing.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Thank you, Hannah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Epic lesson number one is done. Number two is on its way
0:02:24 > 0:02:28and this one is an essential British life skill. Pay close attention.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Hello, I'm Stefan Gates.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Now, you probably think that making the perfect cup of tea is dead easy,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36but it's not. I'm going to show you the secret science behind it.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Lovely!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40All you need is one good-quality tea bag,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41some fresh, cold milk,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and some fresh water.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Water in.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Kettle on.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Ooh, I can taste it already.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Right, we've boiled it now. Time to get scientific.- Yay?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- You need to get a thermometer.- Yep.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- A stopwatch.- Got it.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- And your favourite cup.- Ooh, dainty!
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Start off by putting tea bag in cup
0:03:00 > 0:03:06and then add preferably 175ml of water.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Unsurprisingly, boiling water is hot, so please be careful.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Now, you need to leave it to brew for exactly two minutes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:19Two minutes? I'm parched! Oh, come on, Stefan, get a wriggle on.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24Oh, so close. OK, after two minutes is up, remove the tea bag.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28And then, add 10ml of milk.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Great, ready to drink.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31What you need to do now is wait
0:03:31 > 0:03:36until the tea has cooled down to 60 degrees centigrade.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Leave it any longer, and it could start to turn bitter.
0:03:38 > 0:03:4160 degrees. Ready!
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Oi, that's mine!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Ahh!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48And that's how to be epic at making the perfect cup of tea.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Cheers, Stefan.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53On we go from making tea to making music.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54If you want to be a DJ
0:03:54 > 0:03:57then this girl is going to show you the tricks of the trade.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Being a DJ is an epic-tastic job,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06but it's not just a matter of pressing play.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You've got to seamlessly mix one song into another
0:04:08 > 0:04:10to keep the party jumping.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12To show you how to do this super-cool skill,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15we've got Radio One's B.Traits.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19She's DJed all over the world. So, tell us what we need, B?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21So, my tools of the trade today are some vinyl,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23two turntables,
0:04:23 > 0:04:24a mixer
0:04:24 > 0:04:26and some headphones.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Vinyl? Old school.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29You can also use CDs or MP3s.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33The first thing you need to do is pick two tracks -
0:04:33 > 0:04:36similar style, and speed.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37OK, track one.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40MUSIC: "Latch" by Disclosure ft. Sam Smith
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And we're going to mix it into...
0:04:42 > 0:04:45MUSIC: "Need U" by Duke Dumont ft. A*M*E
0:04:45 > 0:04:48..track two. OK, how do we do that, then?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51So, once you've selected your first track,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54you want to put it on the turntable, press start,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and put the needle on the record.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So, now you're ready to mix your second track into your first track.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You want to find the first beat of the track.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04So, we're going to go like this...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06# I think we're close enough... #
0:05:06 > 0:05:07VINYL SCRATCHES
0:05:07 > 0:05:09That's the first beat.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11VINYL SCRATCHES
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Now, you'll only be able to hear this in your headphones.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Everybody else will only be hearing the first track that you're playing.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Got it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21You want to make sure that you're paying attention to your first track
0:05:21 > 0:05:23because every few bars is an opportunity to
0:05:23 > 0:05:25drop in your second track.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So, starting here...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and drop.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40OK, B.Traits has two tracks playing at the same time
0:05:40 > 0:05:42but the audience can only hear one.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46It's now time to mix from one track to the other seamlessly.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48So, we're going to come over to the mixer
0:05:48 > 0:05:50and start to bring in the second track.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52So, slowly push up the fader.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And your audience will gradually be able to hear a track coming in.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Now both tracks are playing at the same time,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04so now you can start fading out your first track.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Volume down.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And now, your second track is playing.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Seamless.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And that's how you mix like a DJ.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Thanks, B.Traits.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20OK, friends, we're right on target for some more epicness.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Here's what's still to come.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Our resident king of uselessness shows you how to do this,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29this girl fires one of these,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31and this guy tells you how to make your voice...
0:06:31 > 0:06:32..epic.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36But first, do you need money and want to do a really dangerous job?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38No? Well, picture the scene.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43The latest game console has come out and you have no cash.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45You need to earn some pocket money.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Luckily for you, a lovely man has just the job for you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Unfortunately, he's the leader of a bunch of Victorian chimney sweeps
0:06:52 > 0:06:55and he wants you to start straightaway.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Sounds like you need to brush up on your chimney sweep skills
0:06:57 > 0:07:00and also find out how not to die.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Well, here's top actor and history lover Stephen Graham
0:07:03 > 0:07:06to tell you everything you need to know about this dirty job.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11So...you've become a Victorian chimney sweep?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14That's bad luck, there.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Firstly, you had to be small,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19because they weren't all this big.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22That's why children were perfect for the job,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25because they could fit into tight spaces.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Erm, you're not selling it to me.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31The usual chimneys you'd have to climb were about 30cm wide.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33That's smaller than a basketball hoop.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Wahhhh! Argh!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Chimney sweeps were employed by a man called the master sweep.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Life with the master sweep wasn't much fun.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44The children would have to sleep on a bag of soot
0:07:44 > 0:07:46in a cold cellar on the floor.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49And the highlight of the day was a bowl of soup.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I'm guessing it wasn't a nice carrot and coriander?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Here's a tip -
0:07:54 > 0:07:58make sure you tuck all your clothes in, so they don't get caught.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03And also, wear a nice tight belt so your trousers don't fall down.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I do that anyway. You can never be too safe!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Once you've done this, you have to shimmy your way to the top.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Also, don't forget you have to bring your tools.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It'll be pitch black inside there.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19So, in short, it's awful.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21If the children were too scared to climb any higher,
0:08:21 > 0:08:26the sweep master would encourage them by lighting a fire.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28This job couldn't get any worse...
0:08:28 > 0:08:29It just did.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It wasn't all bad.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37You did get paid - a whopping 15 shillings a week.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Hey, that's not so bad.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Which is about...75p.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46What?! Oh, that's it. We quit!
0:08:46 > 0:08:51And that's how you become an epic Victorian chimney sweep.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Cheers, Stephen.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Three more hits of epicness to go.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59If darts isn't epic enough for you, then this sport super-sizes it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Meet Danielle Brown.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04She has won gold at the Paralympics
0:09:04 > 0:09:08and she's going to show you how to be an epic archer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Whoo-hoo!
0:09:09 > 0:09:13To be epic at archery, you need to practise a lot.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17Bow, arrow, target. Let's do this.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21I'm going to show you how to get this arrow in that target.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Yes, please.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24You need to put the arrow on the string.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Arrow on string. Check.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30And then you put the release mechanism onto the string as well.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Release thingyajiggy. Carry on.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37You need to aim the sight at the centre of the target.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39This is very tense.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Bull's-eye...ish.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47So, to be epic at archery you need
0:09:47 > 0:09:50a bow, some arrows, a target,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52a release thingymajiggy,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55some eyes, a thing to make your eyes better
0:09:55 > 0:09:58and a bucket-load of skill.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- That's how to be epic at archery. - Thanks, Danielle.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04From a gold-medal winner to
0:10:04 > 0:10:07a man who has absolutely no medals whatsoever,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09but he's still our hero.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12He's the Prince of Pointlessness, the Emperor of the Absurd,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14the Saint of Silliness.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16He's Max Byrne and he's always got a trick
0:10:16 > 0:10:18that is totally useless but brilliant.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Ragh!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22And this time, you'll need some eggs.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Hola. My name is Max Byrne.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30I'm going to show you how to crack eggs one-handed. Egg-cellent.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Oh, dear.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Now, before you start cracking all the eggs in your house,
0:10:34 > 0:10:35you need to practise.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38The best way to do this is two rolled up pieces of foil
0:10:38 > 0:10:39and a two pence coin.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Place it in between the two balls
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and practise moving your fingers apart to release the coin.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Looks a bit weird.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Chook, chook, chook! They're here.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Now, grab your egg, and what you're going to do is you're going to
0:10:51 > 0:10:54bash it against the side of the bowl and then apologise to it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Just like this...- Sorry!
0:10:56 > 0:11:00..and then move your fingers apart, releasing the yolk into the bowl.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02What yolk? That yolk.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Best get cracking!
0:11:05 > 0:11:09And soon, you'll be able to crack eggs just like this.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Eggs-treme!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15This man's an eggs-pert.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Egg-cellent!
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Egg-pic.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Cheers, Max.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26OK, friends, it's almost over,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29but not before one last epic dose of epicosity.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33This one will make your voice a movie star. Listen and learn.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Do you want to make your voice truly epic? I do! Listen to this.
0:11:40 > 0:11:48This year, in a world far, far away, an epic programme began.
0:11:48 > 0:11:55One man will teach you how to be epic at doing the movie trailer voice.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Yes, please. Teach me!
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Oh, hi. My name is Redd Pepper and I'm a movie trailer voice-over man.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05Cool.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11In a world where time began, where people were not what they seemed...
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Although voice artists like myself don't appear on screen,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17you still have to be able to act because this line of work,
0:12:17 > 0:12:22you have to be able to exaggerate and be very dramatic.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- GROWLY VOICE:- Like this!
0:12:24 > 0:12:25No?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Sounds obvious, but you really have to be able to read
0:12:29 > 0:12:31and read out aloud.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I used to read out aloud to my father,
0:12:33 > 0:12:34and look what it's done for me.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37In cinemas everywhere now.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41You have to be able to talk properly, too.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Make sure you put the Ts at the end of your words.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Instead of saying "tha", say "that".
0:12:46 > 0:12:48What?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Practice makes perfect. Record your voice, listen back to it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56You may not like it but it will help you to perfect your craft.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02If you only see one movie this year, this is it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06When you're happy with all the recordings you've done of yourself,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08listen back and practise some more,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11and then you'll be ready to be a movie trailer man.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Watch and learn.
0:13:12 > 0:13:19On a field there is a ball just waiting to be kicked.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23But it wasn't, until now...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And it makes some things a little more fun.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Hi, can I order a chicken jalfrezi, please?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34HE LAUGHS EVILLY
