0:01:38 > 0:01:41Edward, our CBBC careers are in ruins

0:01:41 > 0:01:45and it's all because we can't find the Tower of London.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48John, we're right here. Look.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56We made it. I knew we could make it. Yeah!

0:01:56 > 0:02:00We're at the Tower. We're at the tower of London. Yeah!

0:02:00 > 0:02:04John, this is it. This is our mission.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07Dear Jedward, in just 24 hours time,

0:02:07 > 0:02:10you'll each give a guided tour around the Tower.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13But we don't know anything about it.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16At the end of the day, the tourists will be tested

0:02:16 > 0:02:19to see which of you has taught them the most.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Whoever's given them the worst tour

0:02:21 > 0:02:25will face the stocks and prepare for a drenching?!

0:02:25 > 0:02:29To help you in this challenge you'll be assisted

0:02:29 > 0:02:31by two celebrities.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Two celebrities who know about the Tower of London?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36No, Joe Swash and Brian Dowling.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Yeah!- It's Joe Swash and Brian Dowling!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42It's great to have you guys on the show.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47We've got one question what do you know about the Tower of London?

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- It's a tower.- That's right, and I think it's in London.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52It is.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54we're going to ask the experts,

0:02:54 > 0:02:56so relax while we go get the facts.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00Oh, I like it. Relax while they get the facts. It rhymes.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05BOTH: We're at the Tower. We're in the Tower. Yay!

0:03:05 > 0:03:09The boys are off to discover all they need to know about the Tower.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12For the tour, they'll be separated.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14John will be with Brian and Edward with Joe.

0:03:14 > 0:03:19Here's the information map. Explore the tower. Look, John. We're here.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Today is their only chance to get the facts before tomorrow

0:03:24 > 0:03:27when they compete to give the best guided tour.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31If we don't get these facts right, it'll be a disaster.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35- Yours will, mine's not. I'm going to win.- I'm going to win you.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39They must find the experts and who better to ask

0:03:39 > 0:03:42than one of the Tower's famous Beefeaters,

0:03:42 > 0:03:44known as a Yeoman Warder.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48What's a Yeoman? Like, yo, man? Yo, yo, yo!

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Let me correct you.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52I and the Chief Yeoman Warder

0:03:52 > 0:03:56of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, the Tower of London.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59I'm Edward Peter Anthony Kevin Patrick Grimes.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02And I'm John Paul Henry Daniel Richard Grimes and we're Jedward!

0:04:02 > 0:04:08If anyone can tell Jedward about the Tower, the Yeoman Warders can.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11They've been protecting it for centuries.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13There are 37 of them in total,

0:04:13 > 0:04:18including Moira the only female Yeoman, or should that be Yeowoman?

0:04:18 > 0:04:19I don't know.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21You're called Yeomens,

0:04:21 > 0:04:25but why is your nickname Beefeaters? Do you eat loads of beef?

0:04:25 > 0:04:26It's simply a nickname.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Beefeaters...

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Some people think it's because beef was once a luxury

0:04:33 > 0:04:34only the king could eat

0:04:34 > 0:04:38and that he offered down some of his beef to his loyal guards,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41possibly as payment or rations.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Edward, stop daydreaming!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- We have to listen.- OK.

0:04:46 > 0:04:51It takes a Yeoman Warder years to become a Tower expert.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Jedward have just 24 hours. So what other facts can they get

0:04:54 > 0:04:58from Chief Yeoman John for their tours tomorrow?

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Tell us about the Tower of London. There's loads of towers here.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05It's a total of 21 towers that we have here

0:05:05 > 0:05:08that make up the Tower of London.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- This is the original White Tower. - Over there!

0:05:14 > 0:05:19In 1078, it was started by William the Conqueror.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22William the Conqueror! Did he play conkers?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24- You know where you get the string...?- No, not at all.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28He was a Norman king who came over from France.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30He wanted to show people how strong he was.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35So he ordered the White Tower to be built.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38But it wasn't big enough for Richard the Lionheart.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Under his reign, the Tower of London doubled in size.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42ROARS

0:05:42 > 0:05:46But that still wasn't big enough for Henry III.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48With a load of rebellious barons on his back,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51he made the Tower the mightiest castle in the country.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56More kings came along and added more towers.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Then Henry VIII made it even grander by adding on some royal chambers.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02The Tower was getting bigger and bigger.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Mind you, it wasn't the only one.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09By the end of his life, he weighed over 20 stone

0:06:09 > 0:06:11and was so fat he had to be winched into bed.

0:06:12 > 0:06:18Edward! I was having a vision, OK? Let's go see some more.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, to recap, one tower plus another two towers and a king

0:06:23 > 0:06:27and another king, some more towers, some chambers and living quarters.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Oh! So much to remember for tomorrow.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- There's still more they need to know.- Even though there's 21 towers,

0:06:34 > 0:06:36it's still called the Tower of London.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38It should be called the Towers of London.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41John and Edward must remember everything they're told

0:06:41 > 0:06:44as the winner will be decided when the tourists take a test.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Come on, let's go.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48The boys have no idea

0:06:48 > 0:06:51which questions the tourists will be asked.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54But now they're off to find another Yeoman. He's in the torture chamber.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, this should be interesting.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58MENACING LAUGH

0:06:58 > 0:06:59So what's all this?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Some of the instruments of torture used at the Tower.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Torture? That sounds so scary! - Torture!

0:07:08 > 0:07:12That's the manacles, where they would hang you up on the wall

0:07:12 > 0:07:14and just let your body weight pull you down.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17You've got the rack here, where they would stretch you.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21- Like an elastic band? - No, elastic bands go back.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- When you're stretched on that, you don't go back.- Agh!

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Your shoulder joints would break... - CRACKING

0:07:27 > 0:07:28..your knee joints,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31and you'd hear the crunch of your bones cracking

0:07:31 > 0:07:34as the rack was slowly turning.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Crunch, crunch, crunch.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40SCREAMING

0:07:40 > 0:07:42The prisoner would be put on the rack,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45their arms and legs tied to two rollers.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Using a crank, the torturer would slowly stretch the prisoner.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50It was agony.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Limbs would be dislocated or broken,

0:07:52 > 0:07:54or sometimes even torn off altogether.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Even if the prisoner survives, their limbs were often stretched

0:07:58 > 0:08:02and damaged so much they were completely useless.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06That was horrible. Who's the most famous person stretched?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Probably Guy Fawkes. - Who was Guy Fawkes?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Guy Fawkes was the man who tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15We celebrate it every year on November the 5th, Guy Fawkes Night.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19- You have all the fireworks. - That's right. He was brought here.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22He was put on the rack. Lasted less than two hours.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Once he was off the rack, of course, execution.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30To give you some idea of what it was like to go in the rack,

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- that is his signature before he went on the rack.- His autograph.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36That's his autograph after he'd been on the rack.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40That looks nothing like that. He must have been in so much pain.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41Like, argh!

0:08:43 > 0:08:47The boys are already halfway through their mission to discover

0:08:47 > 0:08:50all there is to know about the Tower of London. Tomorrow,

0:08:50 > 0:08:52they must bring these stories to life

0:08:52 > 0:08:56with the help of their friends Brian Dowling and Joe Swash.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59- How do you think they're getting on? - I don't know.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02I think I'm slightly concerned.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Edward, I'm not sure I'll get all the facts right. Torture's crazy.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- What else?- I don't know.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I learned that William the Conqueror came here.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- I don't want to be put in the stocks. - I don't either.- I'd rather you.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- You're going down.- You're going down.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- You're going down.- Agh!

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- If you lose, you're going in the stocks!- I'm not going to lose.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27Brian and Joe are relying on the boys to gather all the Tower facts

0:09:27 > 0:09:29or they'll also be locked in the stocks.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31There's no time to waste!

0:09:31 > 0:09:36Focus, boys, you're about to meet another Beefeater.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39We're here to find out about the ravens. What are the ravens?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41We are amazing ravers. MUSIC PLAYS

0:09:41 > 0:09:43MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY

0:09:43 > 0:09:46- He means ravens. I think he means birds.- I certainly do.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yes, these are ravens.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51They're basically the largest bird in the crow family,

0:09:51 > 0:09:53certainly the most intelligent.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54So why are the ravens here?

0:09:54 > 0:09:58They're here because of a very, very old and important legend

0:09:58 > 0:10:00which states that the kingdom, that's Great Britain,

0:10:00 > 0:10:03will fall if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Charles II even made a royal decree

0:10:06 > 0:10:09that six ravens must be kept at the tower at all times.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12The order has been respected ever since,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15even though the ravens can sometimes be trouble.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17One of our ravens, Raven George, was sacked

0:10:17 > 0:10:20because he kept eating television aerials,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23while another, Raven Grog, used to run off and go to the pub.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26BURPS

0:10:26 > 0:10:29- Edward, let's go and find out what the ravens eat.- Yeah, let's go.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Were you daydreaming?

0:10:32 > 0:10:37- Whoa!- Look at the size of that bird. - Whoa! It's like Big Bird.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41We've got food for you. Come here and take your lunchbox.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Look, nice hearts.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48- Eugh, hearts!- John, they're eating hearts, it's crazy.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- The reason for that is they're carnivorous birds.- What's that?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54It means they're meat eaters, they eat meat.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- What's a bird called that eats vegetables?- Er...

0:10:57 > 0:11:00- A bird, as far as I'm concerned. - BOTH: Ew.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04For their tours tomorrow,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06the stories John and Edward have been told

0:11:06 > 0:11:09will be divvied up between them, ravens included.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Who gets first dibs? - I bagsy the story on the ravens.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- No, I bags that story. - Who said you could bagsy it?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Who said you could? - Who said you could?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18- I want to say it. - Yeah, but I'm saying it.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Oh, this could go on forever.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Hang on, boys, there's still so much more you need to know.

0:11:24 > 0:11:29These animals, for instance. Time to find out from a lady with the info.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30This is the lady.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32TRUMPETING

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Hello.- Hi.- I'm Rebecca.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Say hello to Jedcam.- Hi, Jedcam.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Rebecca, you're so cool!

0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'm to tell you about the animals that lived in the Tower

0:11:43 > 0:11:46in what was called the Menagerie. It was like a royal zoo.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50We had lions, we had tigers, we had llamas, parrots.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Medieval kings used to give each other

0:11:53 > 0:11:55rare and unusual animals as presents.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58No-one really knew how to treat them.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00A leopard used to steal umbrellas and hats

0:12:00 > 0:12:03from anyone stupid enough to get close and would wee on them.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08When a monkey tore a boy's leg, they moved the menagerie out of the Tower

0:12:08 > 0:12:12and into Regent's Park where it's known today as London Zoo.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16- Those animals were so cool.- I want an imaginary.- It's a menagerie.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18A menagerie.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Weeing leopards and violent monkeys?

0:12:24 > 0:12:28How will John or Edward tell that story in their tour, I wonder?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Oh, no, not there, that's the Queen's house!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Don't go in there. People have been beheaded for less.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Let's hope the boys don't lose their heads.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Go, Jedward, yeah! Go, Jedward!

0:12:40 > 0:12:43That can't happen nowadays, anyway, can it?

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Time to meet our last expert. Look out, he's got a massive axe!

0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, Yeoman, what is the Traitors' Gate?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52What you see is probably the most famous,

0:12:52 > 0:12:56or should I say infamous, gate in history. Traitors' Gate.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58MENACING LAUGH

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Seven prisoners came in through this gate

0:13:01 > 0:13:03and were beheaded inside the Tower of London.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06These people were accused or convicted of treason.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10One of which was the famous prisoner, Queen Anne Boleyn.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15# Where's your head at? #

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn in 1533, but just three years later,

0:13:19 > 0:13:22she fell out of favour and was sent here as his prisoner.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24She never left.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Not that she was the last of Henry VIII's wives

0:13:26 > 0:13:28to meet a grisly end at the Tower.

0:13:28 > 0:13:33In 1542, Catherine Howard, his fifth wife, was executed here as well.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36# Where's your head at? #

0:13:36 > 0:13:41Agh, don't behead me! Let's get out of here, yo.

0:13:41 > 0:13:46The voyage of discovery is over, and it's goodbye experts.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Tomorrow, John and Edward must become the experts themselves

0:13:49 > 0:13:53and compete to give some tourists a tour that they'll never forget.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Question is, can they remember anything at all?- We have to focus.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59We have to think of all the facts we've learnt.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03How can we make it come to life? We need to make it all cooler.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07- What about the torture thing?- I hope I get the ravens, I love the ravens.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Edward, Edward, Edward, I'm serious, OK?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11I don't think I know all the facts.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15It's time for the boys to meet up with Brian and Joe again

0:14:15 > 0:14:17and divvy up those stories.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20- BOTH: Brian, Joe! It's time to go.- Let's go.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23You're going to lose, you're going to lose!

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- You're going to lose. - See you in the stocks, Joe.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- See you in the stocks! - Let's go, Edward.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31John and Brian are our names.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33And together we are Jobrian!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Team Edward!- Yeah!

0:14:35 > 0:14:37You will teach the tourists who the Beefeaters are

0:14:37 > 0:14:39and what their real name is.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42You have to teach the tourists the origins of the Tower

0:14:42 > 0:14:44and who built it and how many towers there are today.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- I know this one. - Do you know this one?- Yeah.- Yeah!

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Teach the tourists about torture and how long it took

0:14:50 > 0:14:53before Guy Fawkes gave up. How can we make that interesting?

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Teach the tourists about the magnificent ravens.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58I was thinking maybe like a raven costume.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01You will be teaching the tourists about the animals

0:15:01 > 0:15:03that lived at the Tower and the name given to the zoo.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07- I think dress up time. - It's going to be so much fun.- I know.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- How many people were beheaded at the Tower?- Six. Seven.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12I don't know which one it was.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Yeah, Jobrian all the way! Woo! - Jobrian, yeah!

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- We've got our plan, we know what we're doing.- Your name's Joe.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Your name's Edward.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Together we are... - BOTH: Joward. Yeah!

0:15:23 > 0:15:24UNCERTAINLY: Yeah.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28With only a few hours left in the day,

0:15:28 > 0:15:33the boys are heading back to Jedward HQ to get ready for tomorrow.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Edward, I'm going to beat you, OK? - Whatever.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37I know way more facts than you.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39You couldn't even find the place this morning.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41I always knew where we were going.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44The Tower of London was so big and you couldn't even see it.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Tomorrow it's competition time and they must both prepare a tour

0:15:47 > 0:15:51that has to entertain and inform if they want to win.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55- You're going to lose tomorrow. - No, you're going to lose.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57- COCKEREL CROWS - Morning!

0:15:57 > 0:16:01It's 6am and a group of tourists are on their way to the Tower.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04They have no idea that Jedward are about to be their guides

0:16:04 > 0:16:08in a tour of a lifetime. Meanwhile, back at Jedward HQ,

0:16:08 > 0:16:11the boys are waking after a long night of planning.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15We're totally ready to go. We're really excited. Edward, let's go.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Today, John and me have to wear different clothes.

0:16:17 > 0:16:22John is wearing panda shoes, I'm going to wear a new pair of runners.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'm excited. I've never been.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27I don't know anything about the Tower at all.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31I remember everything. The large tower was called the Tower

0:16:31 > 0:16:34because there was only one tower and as time went by,

0:16:34 > 0:16:37- the towers got more and more people...- I'm serious,

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I don't remember anything.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44I have not got a clue who may be doing the tours today.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I hope it's someone clever. We have to learn.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49- I don't know anything. - I know everything.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I can't remember anything. All I can remember is those ravens

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- and they flew around the place. But that's it.- That's my thing.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- That's my thing.- I'm meant to be doing...- What am I doing?

0:16:58 > 0:17:00You're not doing ravens, I'm doing ravens.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03I'm meant to be talking about... the... What do I talk about?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'm totally prepared, John.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07Last night, I made loads and loads of cool stuff.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15It's almost time to face the music. The tourists are only minutes away.

0:17:15 > 0:17:20Which team will give the best tour? Which team will face the stocks?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's showtime. I can't watch.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26I don't know what's going to happen. Whenever you work with Jedward,

0:17:26 > 0:17:28you've just got to expect the unexpected.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32I asked John what he knew about the torture chamber and Guy Fawkes.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35He was like, "Yeah, we're going to win. Whoa!"

0:17:35 > 0:17:38The fact that I know more about the Tower of London

0:17:38 > 0:17:40than John is slightly alarming.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44The tourists are in for the surprise of their life.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46It's time to meet the tour guides.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Go! JOHN SCREAMS

0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Jedward!- Oh, my God!

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Hi, guys, what's going on?

0:17:54 > 0:17:57- What up, guys? - I'm John.- I'm Edward.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00BOTH: And together we are Jedward! High-fives all round!

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Oh, oh, yeah, yeah!

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Jedward. I thought they weren't real. And they are.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Our special friends are here with us. Brian Dowling and Joe Swash.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Make some noise.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16It's going to be great. I don't know what will happen. Might be crazy.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18I think it'll be memorable

0:18:18 > 0:18:20but whether it's the facts we need to remember

0:18:20 > 0:18:22is probably a different matter.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25- All right, guys, let's go. Come on. - Let's go!

0:18:25 > 0:18:29It's time for the boys to put all their plans into action.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31They each have three stories to tell.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Don't forget, the team who don't deliver the correct info

0:18:34 > 0:18:38will face the dreaded stocks.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42John and Brian are up first

0:18:42 > 0:18:45with the tale of the Tower's famous Beefeaters.

0:18:45 > 0:18:49They must make the tourists remember the Beefeaters' other name.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53You guys are probably wondering right now in your brains

0:18:53 > 0:18:56who this guy is in his amazing uniform.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59He is a Beefeater, AKA, also known as,

0:18:59 > 0:19:03a Yeoman Warder. This is what it stands for.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Yeoman Warders are Her Majesty's Royal Palace of the Sovereign's...

0:19:07 > 0:19:13- OK, Yeoman Warders means... Um... - Oh, dear. John is confused.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14So are the tourists and so I!

0:19:14 > 0:19:17It's important the boys get the info across

0:19:17 > 0:19:19in a way the tourists will remember.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Yeoman Warder for short. That's a lot easier.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26We'll go with Yeoman Warder, OK? BRIAN LAUGHS

0:19:26 > 0:19:29John and Brian have left the tourists proper confused

0:19:29 > 0:19:31which means Edward and Joe have a chance to do better.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33They're tackling the story

0:19:33 > 0:19:36of how many towers there are at the Tower of London.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's important to mention the number.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41To explain, the boys have decided to show them

0:19:41 > 0:19:44which kings built which towers.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46And it all started with William the Conqueror.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49FRENCH ACCENT: Hey, hey, oui, oui, oui.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53My name is Mr Conqueror. You have all been conquered.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56What I need now is a lovely tower.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00But it wasn't big enough for Richard the Lionheart.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03It wasn't big enough for Richard the Lionheart!

0:20:03 > 0:20:06You've got no chance, give me ten minutes.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Richard the Lionheart, where are you?!

0:20:08 > 0:20:11This story could take some time.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14King after king after king after king,

0:20:14 > 0:20:17and still no mention of towers, until finally...

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Edward III came and built the final tower, the Cradle Tower,

0:20:20 > 0:20:24which made a final of 21 towers. The Tower of London.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26That's it! Yes!

0:20:26 > 0:20:31Nice one, fellas. But could all the props and costumes

0:20:31 > 0:20:34have made the tourists miss the key fact?

0:20:34 > 0:20:38John and Brian are hoping so. After all the confusion with the Yeoman,

0:20:38 > 0:20:41they need to step up their game.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44They've planned a rib-tickling story about Guy Fawkes

0:20:44 > 0:20:47they hope the tourists won't forget.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50The one detail they must get across is how long he lasted on the rack.

0:20:50 > 0:20:56Argh! We've got the most famous instrument of torture, the rack.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00And the most famous person to be stretched on this was Guy Fawkes.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04He lasted less than two hours. How long?

0:21:04 > 0:21:05ALL: Two hours.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09No. Less than two hours. This was his autograph before he came in.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13And then after, this is what his autograph looked like.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15He was like, "I can't sign it.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20These are Jedward tickle sticks. We'll tickle you so much

0:21:20 > 0:21:23you're not going to be able to write your name.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- OK, three, two, one. Write your name now.- Go!

0:21:28 > 0:21:30ALL LAUGH

0:21:30 > 0:21:35- OK, there we go, there we go, let's have a look.- Yes! Think about it.

0:21:35 > 0:21:41- Guy Fawkes lasted less than two hours. You lasted...- Ten seconds!

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Give it up for Letitia, everybody! - CHEERING

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Torture the tourists! What a great way to get them to remember.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49John and Brian are back in the game.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52I'm not going to forget the guys being tickled,

0:21:52 > 0:21:54- that was very funny.- Very memorable.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59It's Edward and Joe's turn again with the legend of the ravens.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03- Now you're complete. You're a raven. - I actually feel like a raven.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04Let's go, Edward.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08The boys need to impress and get across to the tourists

0:22:08 > 0:22:11how many ravens are kept at the Tower at all times.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Raven, where are you? - Squawk, squawk!

0:22:13 > 0:22:17- Raven, I can hear you, but I can't see you.- I'm here!

0:22:17 > 0:22:19OK, as you guys are probably wondering,

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Joe's dressed up as a raven because ravens are so important here.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26There are six ravens here and it all goes back to an old legend.

0:22:26 > 0:22:31If there aren't six ravens, the White Tower will turn to dust.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Push me, push me, I need a push.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Joe's crazy ravens has got everyone in stitches

0:22:36 > 0:22:40but will they recall the crucial info later when they're tested?

0:22:40 > 0:22:43Raven, I got this suit specially made.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46You're not meant to be attacking me. I'm Edward from Jedward.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48So not cool.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53Whatever Edward and Joe can do, team Jobrian can do better.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- ROARING - Make the noise of your animal.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58You're a tiger, make a roar.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01They're making everyone dress up for the story of the zoo.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Many animals lived at the Tower.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05The boys must explain the zoo's special name

0:23:05 > 0:23:09if they stand a chance of winning.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10MIMICS ELEPHANT'S CALL

0:23:10 > 0:23:12TRUMPETING

0:23:12 > 0:23:15The Menagerie was basically a place where all the animals went.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Here in the Tower of London,

0:23:17 > 0:23:20they used to have every single type of animal.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23They had elephants, they had zebras they had bears,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25- they had lions, they had polar bears.- What?

0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Now we're all dressed as animals, let's do a song.- I love a song!

0:23:29 > 0:23:31BOTH: # With an ooh-ooh here And an ooh-ooh there

0:23:31 > 0:23:34# Here an ooh, there an ooh Everywhere an ooh-ooh

0:23:34 > 0:23:36# There was king who had a tower E-i-e-i-oh! #

0:23:36 > 0:23:40- I have an idea.- What?- Let's chase the animals back into the wild.- Go!

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Did they mention the name of the zoo?

0:23:45 > 0:23:48With all that singing and dancing, will the tourists remember?

0:23:50 > 0:23:53- That was all a bit crazy. - Too much singing and dancing.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57I don't know if I took any of that information in right then.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Edward and Joe have decided up the ante.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03Yes, that's right, it's time for Edward to put on a dress.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06There she is. The boys are heading to Traitors' Gate

0:24:06 > 0:24:07and they must get across

0:24:07 > 0:24:10how many prisoners were beheaded at the Tower.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18This is Traitors' Gate. Traitor, traitor.

0:24:18 > 0:24:23All the prisoners were brought through this gate

0:24:23 > 0:24:25and there were seven people beheaded.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28The most famous person that was beheaded was Queen Anne Boleyn,

0:24:28 > 0:24:32which I am today, but she wasn't a guy, she was a girl.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34This is really unusual for me. I never wear dresses.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36ALL LAUGH

0:24:36 > 0:24:39I'm ready for our performance, Edward. Let's do this.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Traitors, traitors, come through! EDWARD SHRIEKS

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Calm down, calm down, I'm not going to cut your head off with an axe.- Oh.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'm going to cut it off with a sword.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51EDWARD SCREAMS Come here, you. Come here!

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Edward has impressed with his dress-wearing skills,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57but is it enough to make the tourists remember

0:24:57 > 0:24:59and keep Joward out of the stocks?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01EDWARD SCREAMS

0:25:04 > 0:25:07The teams have played kings and queens, monkeys and ravens, danced,

0:25:07 > 0:25:11sang and tickled their way through a tremendous tour of the Tower.

0:25:11 > 0:25:16- How well do they think they've done? - Out of ten, we definitely got a ten.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20- I would safely say we could get offered a new job here today.- Yeah.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23Edward is a fountain of knowledge. He knew everything.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27It's time to test the tourists.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30The tourists will be asked one question on each of the stories.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34"How many ravens need to be kept at the Tower?"

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I know they keep one spare.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37For each correct answer,

0:25:37 > 0:25:39there's a point for the team who told that story.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43- Wow. Erm...- And the team with the most points wins...

0:25:43 > 0:25:46- "What are the Beefeaters called?" - The yeovile or something?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Yeoman Warriors.- Yeoman Warriors.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52..while the losers will be locked in the stocks,

0:25:52 > 0:25:57face a giant catapult, and the ultimate drenching.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Think we've done it? - I hope we've won.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01If not, it could be the end of our careers.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04It could be the end of Jedward, but the start of Joward.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08- Losing to Joe Swash? Please. - Joward?- Please.- Like, come on.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10We definitely have to win this.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14The test is over. The scores are in.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17It's time to reveal the winner.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22Ladies and gentlemen, here I have the final results.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25With a score of 20 points,

0:26:25 > 0:26:30- John and Brian. - BOTH: Yeah! Yes, Yes!

0:26:30 > 0:26:33- We're winners, we'll definitely win this.- Double 10, 20, 20.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36And Joe and Edward have a score of...

0:26:41 > 0:26:4228!

0:26:42 > 0:26:44BOTH: Yeah!

0:26:46 > 0:26:50No! No!

0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Why did we lose? - It's all to do with the name.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Many of them said Yeoman Warriors.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Yeoman Warriors!- Yeoman Warders.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03- How could you guys get that wrong? We told you! Pay attention!- Listen!

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Open your ears.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09Losers John and Brian have been locked in the stocks.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13The ancient catapult is being primed and loaded.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16The boys are only moments away from their fate.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19I was there just to make it look pretty. You did all the talking.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- It's your fault.- How is it my fault? You were giving the talk.
