0:01:26 > 0:01:29Whoever loses will have to do the fish-slapping dance.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECT

0:01:32 > 0:01:34- What's that?- What is a fish-slapping dance?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I don't know. Let's get out of here. The bell's ringing!

0:01:37 > 0:01:40BIG BEN CHIMES

0:01:40 > 0:01:42But the boys are going to need some help.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Look who it is, Edward!

0:01:44 > 0:01:46It's Ed Petrie from All Over the Place.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48And Richard Wisker from Friday Download.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51So, Ed and Richard, what do you know about the River Th-ames?

0:01:51 > 0:01:53- It's not Th-ames, it's Thames. - And what do you know?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Well, I live in London, so I've crossed the River Thames a lot,

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I've travelled on it a lot, but I don't know very much about it.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00You guys don't seem to know anything.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03But, anyway, you guys relax while we get the facts.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Come on, Ed, let's go ask the experts.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08On a boat with Jedward!

0:02:08 > 0:02:11SAD TROMBONE NOISE

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Tomorrow, John and Edward

0:02:13 > 0:02:17will be leading a group of tourists on a tour of the Th-ames,

0:02:17 > 0:02:21a place they can't pronounce and know nothing about.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22I can see a clock!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25John will be helped by Ed Petrie

0:02:25 > 0:02:29while Edward will be with Richard Wisker.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Each team will be given three stories

0:02:31 > 0:02:33which the tourists will be tested on

0:02:33 > 0:02:35to find out which team make the best tour guides.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38John, put your life jacket on. Let's do this.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42It's time for the boys to meet their first expert, Amy.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44She's going to kick things off to a speedy start

0:02:44 > 0:02:48with a boat ride, to find out all about the river itself.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Time for the boys to concentrate and start cramming those facts.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Welcome to the Thames! - How long is the river Th-ames?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56215 miles.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59DREAMY SOUND EFFECT

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Starting as a small stream in the Cotswolds,

0:03:01 > 0:03:03the River Thames flows 215 miles

0:03:03 > 0:03:07right through the centre of London out to the North Sea.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08But 25,000 years ago,

0:03:08 > 0:03:11the Thames was just a tributary of the River Rhine,

0:03:11 > 0:03:13which runs all the way through Europe,

0:03:13 > 0:03:15because Britain was not then an island.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Contrary to what people think,

0:03:16 > 0:03:18the Thames is now a very clean river.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21From having been biologically dead in the 1950s,

0:03:21 > 0:03:25it now holds over 120 different species of fish,

0:03:25 > 0:03:27thanks to conservation work.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Amazing!

0:03:30 > 0:03:33In fact, in 1974, they actually caught a salmon here,

0:03:33 > 0:03:36so that was a sign that we were on the way up.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38You can catch salmon? So you mean we can make sushi?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40You certainly could.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Want to go for lunch later, Amy?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Steady on, boys, you've just met her!

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Keep focusing on these River Thames facts.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48And there's no time to linger,

0:03:48 > 0:03:49as here's their second location

0:03:49 > 0:03:52and their new guide, Peter.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53There he is.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57He'll be giving them a monumental tour of a place called...

0:03:57 > 0:03:58er, The Monument.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Right, Jedward, welcome to The Monument.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03We're here to find out all we can about THIS.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05What IS this?

0:04:05 > 0:04:06DREAMY SOUND EFFECT

0:04:06 > 0:04:08The Monument was designed

0:04:08 > 0:04:10by the famous architect, Sir Christopher Wren,

0:04:10 > 0:04:12and completed in 1677.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15It was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17which started in nearby Pudding Lane.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20The fire lasted three days

0:04:20 > 0:04:23and destroyed 13,000 houses and 89 churches.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27But miraculously though, there were only six deaths.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Only six people died? - That's absolutely correct.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32It was quite slow burning. People had time to escape.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Why not put it out? - They didn't have a fire brigade.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37That was set up after the Great Fire.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Where did the people run to? Did they run to the beach?

0:04:39 > 0:04:43They ran to the river, took boats and went into the river.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- What river?- The Thames, of course!

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Sorry, did he actually just ask what river?! Can I get a playback?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- What river?- The Thames, of course!

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yes! Yes, he did! Oh...

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Me and Edward want to go to the top. Can we go to the top?

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Of course you can.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01All right, Peter, let's go. You lead the way!

0:05:01 > 0:05:04SLAPSTICK MUSIC

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Careful!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09HE PANTS

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- That was crazy!- What a workout!

0:05:16 > 0:05:18My legs are so sore!

0:05:18 > 0:05:20We now have an amazing view of London.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Peter, how many steps did we just walk up?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- 311.- It felt like 3 million!

0:05:26 > 0:05:29PETER LAUGHS It's getting really cold up here.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Let's get out of here.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Brrr! Let's hope they don't have brain freeze

0:05:33 > 0:05:34and forget all those key facts,

0:05:34 > 0:05:37because tomorrow, it's John and Edward's turn.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38They'll go head-to-head

0:05:38 > 0:05:42as they each take a group of tourists along the River Thames

0:05:42 > 0:05:44with the loser facing a fishy forfeit.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48I TROUT their team-mates fancy that!

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Do you see what I did there?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52On a serious note, I am scared of fish.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54ED LAUGHS No, I am! I'm terrified!

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I can't lose!- Do you want me to make sure that our team loses,

0:05:57 > 0:05:58so you don't get...

0:05:58 > 0:06:00If you do that for me, you'll be a brother.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02- It's never going to happen! - Oh, I see how it is!

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Bet he's not scared of fish!

0:06:04 > 0:06:08This is James, a London Bridge expert with the next story.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Hi, James!

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Hello?

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Come back!

0:06:13 > 0:06:17# London Bridge is falling down falling down, falling down

0:06:17 > 0:06:20# London Bridge is falling down My fair lady. #

0:06:20 > 0:06:22James, how old is this bridge?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25The bridge you see there today goes back to about the 1960s,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28but the history of London Bridge is far, far greater than that, though.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31It was the Romans who founded London,

0:06:31 > 0:06:32or Londinium, as they called it.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35They built a fort where the Tower of London now stands

0:06:35 > 0:06:38and the first river crossing where London Bridge sits today.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42In mediaeval times, London Bridge used to be covered in houses,

0:06:42 > 0:06:44whose tenants paid rent to the kings of England.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Scotland's Braveheart, William Wallace,

0:06:46 > 0:06:47had the unfortunate honour

0:06:47 > 0:06:50of being the first of many heads to be displayed on the bridge,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52along with others like Sir Thomas More and Guy Fawkes.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55SCREAMING JEDWARD SCREAM

0:06:55 > 0:06:57I've got a present to show you,

0:06:57 > 0:07:00to show you what they used to do to the heads up on spikes.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02THEY SQUEAL

0:07:02 > 0:07:04That guy looks pretty happy.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll be honest with you, I don't think he is.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Back in the olden days, London Bridge had houses on it.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11People used to throw their sewage out the window,

0:07:11 > 0:07:12straight into the river.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14No wonder the River Thames got so dirty!

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Not only that, though, there was a death tax,

0:07:17 > 0:07:20so if your gran died, you had to pay to bury her body.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24Forget that! What people used to do is come up to the river,

0:07:24 > 0:07:27goodbye Gran, throw her over the edge, straight in the river.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30So right now, there's a lot of skeletons in the river

0:07:30 > 0:07:33of people who threw people in the River?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Absolutely! - That's really disturbing!

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- That's really so scary! - Seriously, I'm freaked out.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42So am I! The boys are halfway through their tour of the Thames.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45So far, they've found out how long the Thames is,

0:07:45 > 0:07:47how tall The Monument is,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50and some rather gruesome facts about London Bridge... There it is again!

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Tomorrow they'll be going head-to-head.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54Who will sink and who will swim?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Next, off to check out another bridge. Tower Bridge.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02And here's Peter again.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- This is amazing!- Right, guys. Welcome to Tower Bridge.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07What can you tell us about Tower Bridge?

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Right, initially built because London expanded so much,

0:08:10 > 0:08:12London Bridge couldn't cope with traffic.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14They had to build somewhere else to allow people to cross.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- DREAMY SOUND EFFECT - In the late 19th century,

0:08:17 > 0:08:21London became so overcrowded that a new bridge was desperately needed.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25So in 1886, work began on a pioneering design

0:08:25 > 0:08:28which took eight years to complete.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Divers prepared the riverbed for massive piers

0:08:31 > 0:08:35and construction workers worked at 46m above the water

0:08:35 > 0:08:37without safety nets.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39These days, over 40,000 vehicles

0:08:39 > 0:08:41successfully cross the bridge every day.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44But in 1952, there was a near miss,

0:08:44 > 0:08:48when it started to open with the number 78 bus still on it.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- This bridge is amazing. Who built it? - Two architects were there.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Horace Jones, unfortunately, died in harness,

0:08:53 > 0:08:56which meant he died before he completed construction.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57John Wolfe-Barry took over.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00It's almost like two castles on a bridge.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01It is. It's totally unique.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Is there any ghosts?- No.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Are you sure? - No, I haven't seen any.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07What do you do if you see a ghost?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Talk to it. - HE LAUGHS

0:09:09 > 0:09:12That's the spirit! Get it? Spirit?

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Ha-ha! Oh, I don't know...

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Anyway, let's see how the boys are doing, remembering all those facts.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18There's loads of dates to remember

0:09:18 > 0:09:20so I've got to get my head around the different dates,

0:09:20 > 0:09:22cos I'm always thinking about my birthday.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25I'm just hoping the Queen watches the show

0:09:25 > 0:09:27and she asks us to bring her on a tour of London.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Yes, I heard she watches with the Corgis all the time(!)

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Meet Glen. Hi, Glen!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34He's one of the bridge controllers.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36He's going to take us inside Tower Bridge

0:09:36 > 0:09:37and tell us another story.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I hope it's uplifting!

0:09:39 > 0:09:42So, Glen, where are we right now?

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Well, you're in the old bridge-driving cabin,

0:09:44 > 0:09:46where the bridge used to be controlled from.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49The bascules, French for see-saws, are the arms of the bridge.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52They raise and lower to let ships pass through.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54On average, the bascules are raised

0:09:54 > 0:09:56three times a day or 1,000 times a year.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58They used to be powered by enormous steam engines,

0:09:58 > 0:10:02but today the bascules are driven by oil and electricity.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03And rather than heavy levers,

0:10:03 > 0:10:06they can be opened by the simple press of a button.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07BOTH: Whoa!

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Where are we?- You're actually in the bascule chamber.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12The bascule comes down when the bridge raises.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13When we do a bridge lift,

0:10:13 > 0:10:15that will swing right down towards us.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18And when a boat calls you guys and goes, "Yo, what's happening?"

0:10:18 > 0:10:21then the whole white thing comes all the way down.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22You can't be in here when it's moving

0:10:22 > 0:10:24or you'll be squished like a sandwich.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25What are those noises?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28It's the cars, lorries, buses, going across the bridge.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Do you think me and John are going to do a good job tomorrow

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- being tour guides? - You'll be brilliant tour guides,

0:10:33 > 0:10:34but now we've got to get out of here,

0:10:34 > 0:10:36because the bridge is going to open.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Well, let's go!- Quick, run!

0:10:38 > 0:10:42There's still one more story, and Amy's back.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44This time, she'll be showing the boys

0:10:44 > 0:10:47one of the most famous landmarks on the Thames.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Cleopatra's Needle.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50What is this?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53It was a present for us from Egypt.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55DREAMY SOUND EFFECT

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Cleopatra's Needle is 3,500 years old,

0:10:58 > 0:11:00making it the oldest structure in London.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03It was given to England by the Egyptians in 1819,

0:11:03 > 0:11:06to commemorate the victories of the Battle of the Nile

0:11:06 > 0:11:07and the Battle of Alexandria,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09and eventually transported to London.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11But not all is how it should be.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12Early in the 20th century,

0:11:12 > 0:11:15the bronze sphinxes were taken away to be cleaned,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17and put back facing the wrong way round.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Some say it's how Queen Victoria preferred them, but this way round,

0:11:21 > 0:11:24they're useless as the ferocious protectors they were meant to be.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26It came all the way from Egypt. It's amazing!

0:11:26 > 0:11:29The reason its name is Cleopatra's Needle, they think,

0:11:29 > 0:11:32is because the boat that brought it over was called Cleopatra.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34I thought it was something to do with...

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Remember the Egyptians used to put the needle in the nose

0:11:36 > 0:11:38and pull out the brain?

0:11:38 > 0:11:39No, you wouldn't want that up your nose!

0:11:39 > 0:11:41They reckon the needle's actually cursed.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- This is cursed? - That's what they believe.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Is there a mummy inside? - No, there's no mummies inside.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's a solid piece of stone.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Something that you guys might find interesting

0:11:50 > 0:11:52is this needle's actually a twin.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53The other twin is in New York.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55John, sometimes I wish you were in New York.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58- No, sometimes I wish YOU were in New York.- Eating hot dogs!

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Sometimes I wish you were in London and I was in New York,

0:12:01 > 0:12:04having a great time eating hotdogs. AMY GIGGLES

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Boys, boys! It's been a nice day, don't spoil it!

0:12:07 > 0:12:09It's time to say goodbye.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Tomorrow John and Edward will be the experts,

0:12:11 > 0:12:15with Ed and Richard helping to BRIDGE the gaps in their knowledge.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Ha-ha-ha...oh...

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Moving swiftly on to Jedward HQ,

0:12:19 > 0:12:23where the teams are busy preparing all of their props

0:12:23 > 0:12:26and desperately trying to remember everything they've been told today

0:12:26 > 0:12:29for the big tour tomorrow.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31But things don't seem to be going that smoothly,

0:12:31 > 0:12:35as Edward still can't get his head around the most important fact.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36The name of the river.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38I've got to tell you about the geography of the Th-ames.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40No, it's the THAMES.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Th-ames?- The river Thames.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43- That's the only thing I know.- OK.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45If you can't get that right, we're going to lose.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46- So it's the Thames?- Yeah.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48The Monument, OK, it's really cool,

0:12:48 > 0:12:50you go up there, all the tourists,

0:12:50 > 0:12:52and by the time you go from the bottom to the top,

0:12:52 > 0:12:54your legs really, really hurt.

0:12:54 > 0:12:55- Is that a fact?- It's a fact.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Do we get points for that, though?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Your legs really hurt if you get to the top?- Yeah, I think so.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02- I think so.- I don't think you do.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04They used to punish people and get their heads

0:13:04 > 0:13:06and put them on spikes to punish them.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Guy Fawkes is a really famous one.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11He had a beard exactly like this. Check it out.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13I want to win. I want this boat trip.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Hello?! We've got a papier mache head!

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Hmm, time to get your heads down.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Lights out, nighty-night!

0:13:21 > 0:13:23COCKEREL CROWS

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Morning! Are the boys ready?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29They'd better be, because there's a group of tourists on their way

0:13:29 > 0:13:31to the banks of the river,

0:13:31 > 0:13:34and they have no idea where they're going, or with whom.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Hopefully, the tour guide will be funny and happy,

0:13:39 > 0:13:41not old and boring and grumpy.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43I don't know where we're going,

0:13:43 > 0:13:47and sometimes surprises make me get all weird inside.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, you're in for a shock!

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Time for the tour guides to introduce themselves.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54What's up, guys? I'm John!

0:13:54 > 0:13:57- THEY GASP AND SQUEAL - I'm Edward!

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Do you think tour guides can do this?!

0:14:00 > 0:14:02THEY GIGGLE Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!

0:14:02 > 0:14:04All right, guys, we have celebrity guests.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Do you want to know who they are?

0:14:06 > 0:14:07ALL: Yes!

0:14:07 > 0:14:12So my celebrity guest is Ed Petrie from hit series, All Over The Place!

0:14:12 > 0:14:14And I've got Richard Wisker from Friday Download!

0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Get over here, guys! - What's up, Ed?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Are you excited about being with me?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Are you guys excited? - ALL: Yeah!

0:14:20 > 0:14:21I said, are you guys excited?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23THEY SHOUT Yeah!

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Well, let's run this way, being excited!

0:14:25 > 0:14:27THEY SQUEAL

0:14:27 > 0:14:31It's time for the tour to begin, and Team Edward are up to start.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Will they be able to make a big enough splash

0:14:35 > 0:14:36to get the facts about the River Thames

0:14:36 > 0:14:38across to the tourists?

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Go, Edward! Go, Emily! Go, Olivia!

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Go, Ella! Go, Cy!

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Hit it! Let's get out of here!

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Remember, whichever team delivers the facts the best

0:14:48 > 0:14:49wins a speedy boat ride,

0:14:49 > 0:14:52with the losers being slapped with a big, wet fish. Yuck!

0:14:52 > 0:14:54We are now on the Thames river.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Do you guys think there's any fish here?- ALL: Yeah.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Tell them about fish.- I don't like fish. I'm scared of fish.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03How many species do you think are in this Thames river?

0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Do you know, I know. 120 different species.- How much species are there?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09- ALL: 120.- Guess what, guys?

0:15:09 > 0:15:13In 1952, the Thames was declared biologically dead.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16That meant that no fish could live here or anything.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- You know, it used to be dirty, but now it's clean.- It's clean now!

0:15:19 > 0:15:22- I want a drink!- No, no, no, you can't drink it!- Really?

0:15:22 > 0:15:23No, it's that clean.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29- And did you know, there's 215 miles of water? How many, Ed?- 215 miles.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32But anyway, we're now going under a bridge. It makes really cool echoes.

0:15:32 > 0:15:33Everybody scream!

0:15:33 > 0:15:35THEY SCREAM

0:15:35 > 0:15:36Echo! Echo!

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Echo! Echo! Sorry, carry on.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43So that's your tour of the history and geography of the river Thames.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Over and out.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47It's a strong start from Team Edward.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48Next stop, the monument.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53Will Ed be the tower of strength John needs to get the facts across?

0:15:53 > 0:15:55What's the first fact about the Monument, Ed?

0:15:55 > 0:15:57What's it a monument for? I'll give you a clue.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Aargh! Aargh! Aargh!

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Aargh! Aargh! - Fire of London.- Yes.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05This was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London,

0:16:05 > 0:16:07and it was finished in 19...

0:16:07 > 0:16:08No, 1677.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10No, 1666.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11No, it was...

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Oh, finished. Sorry.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14It was finished in 1977.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15No, 1677!

0:16:15 > 0:16:16No, it's...

0:16:16 > 0:16:18- No, not 1977...- Oh, come on!

0:16:18 > 0:16:21If you two are confused, how must the tourists be feeling?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- All right, moving on, OK. - It was a really big fire.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26It destroyed over 13,000 houses.

0:16:26 > 0:16:2989 churches were destroyed in the Great Fire of London.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32- And when was the Great Fire of London?- 1666.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Really easy to remember. Loads of sixes.- 1666!

0:16:35 > 0:16:38At the very, very top, there's this crazy, gold,

0:16:38 > 0:16:40gold, sparkly thing on the top.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42- What's that to represent?- Fire?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44No, it's used to represent Jedward hair.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's actually not. It's actually to represent the fire.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51We now have this awesome, crazy quiz. This...

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Oh, sorry.- Oh, no.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- That's given the game away. - How many people died?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- 6,000?- Take off three zeroes.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Are you ready for this? It's six!

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Is that all? Six people?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- What?- Yeah.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Does anybody know how tall it is?

0:17:05 > 0:17:0961 metres tall.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11Whoa.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15OK. Last question before we go to the top of the monument is

0:17:15 > 0:17:18how many steps are there to the top?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Dunno. Maybe we should count them. - Are you sure?

0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Yeah, we should count them on the way up.- All right. Let's go.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Come on, you know the way, let's go. - Follow me!- Come on, guys.- One...

0:17:29 > 0:17:31two... three, four, five...

0:17:33 > 0:17:3510, 11, 12...

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I'm already regretting this a lot.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41310... 311!

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Yes, we did it, guys. Come on, guys, go here. Yes!

0:17:43 > 0:17:46We did it, guys. We made the top of the monument.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49How are you guys all feeling after getting to the top of the monument?

0:17:49 > 0:17:50- ALL:- Tired.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52Tired. Isn't it an amazing view?

0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Who wants to bungee jump down the monument?- Me! Me!

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Well, you know what, you can't, because that's totally unsafe,

0:17:59 > 0:18:01so we've got to walk all the way back down.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Well, on that health and safety note,

0:18:05 > 0:18:06what did the tourists think?

0:18:06 > 0:18:10It was really interesting and funny at the same time, so it was great.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11I think Team John were really funny

0:18:11 > 0:18:13and they got the facts across very well,

0:18:13 > 0:18:16and I think it's going to be hard competition for Team Edward.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Nice work, boys.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Back on the river, and it's Team Edward's turn.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Can they remember the story of London Bridge?

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Guys, welcome to London Bridge.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29This bridge was first made by the Romans, and they named London.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34But they said it in Roman. They said "Londinium". What's it called?

0:18:34 > 0:18:35ALL: Londinium.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37So much history to this bridge.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Real gory, like crazy, like sick things happened here.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43They used to put heads on spikes!

0:18:43 > 0:18:44ALL: Ewww!

0:18:44 > 0:18:48The first person whose head was put on a spike was William...

0:18:48 > 0:18:50NARRATOR GASPS ..Wallace?

0:18:50 > 0:18:52- William Wallace.- Phew!

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- And who's this guy? - That's Guy Fawkes.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57The main point was to scare the general public

0:18:57 > 0:18:59so they wouldn't do any bad things, so that means that you couldn't

0:18:59 > 0:19:03take sweets from a shop or your head would end up on a stick.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05So catch, catch!

0:19:06 > 0:19:07Gross!

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Eurgh!

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Doesn't my helmet look cool?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13I think you could have passed for a Roman.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm thinking of changing my hair to a red mohawk. What do you think?

0:19:16 > 0:19:20I think it makes you look like a chicken.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Anyhoo, will the tourists remember the facts about London Bridge

0:19:23 > 0:19:26or did it all just go over their heads?

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Team John's turn now to take over at Tower Bridge.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- But how are they feeling about their chances of success?- We're doomed.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35We're actually doomed.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37When it comes to doing a tour, I will rock it.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39The facts will be coming out of me like spaghetti.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41What? Spaghetti? Oh, dear. Poor Ed.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44They're doomed, they're actually doomed.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47All right, guys. We are here at Tower Bridge.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50It took 400 people in total to build Tower Bridge.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52But the most important person you've got to remember

0:19:52 > 0:19:55who designed the bridge, his name is...erm...

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Yes?

0:19:56 > 0:20:00- What is it?- I don't know, you haven't told me anything.- I don't know.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Oh, come on, boys.- It's Horace...

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Horace...

0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Horace Jones.- Oh, phew.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Horace Jones designed the Tower Bridge.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Brilliant. - You know this! I told you!

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- You didn't! - You're meant to be helping me.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yeah, I would help if you told me anything.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- I can't remember everything! - I know nothing!- Awkward.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20That tower and that tower there, that's the north tower,

0:20:20 > 0:20:22that's the south tower.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23- No, that's south.- Ohhh.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Are you sure? - Yeah.- I don't think so.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28No, that's definitely the south tower.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29That's north London.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- OK. Sure?- It's not a great start, boys, if I'm honest.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Ooh! But what's this?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39A bit of undercover spying from the other team. Sneaky.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Let's see if they can do better at Cleopatra's Needle.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Isn't it awesome?- ALL: Yes!

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Do you guys know where it's from? - Egypt?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Yes.- Ahhh!- It's from Egypt.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53We've got to get into our outfits. Put outfits on.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56To help get the facts across, Team Edward have decided to dress up

0:20:56 > 0:21:00as a rather fetching Queen Victoria and a glamorous Cleopatra.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Looks more like Jessie J!

0:21:02 > 0:21:03In the Victorian times,

0:21:03 > 0:21:07you decided to get those two Sphinxes cleaned, didn't you?

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Yep. And I decided to change it because I was paranoid.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13And she faced them around the wrong way.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15So, guys, the Sphinxes are actually lions and they go...

0:21:15 > 0:21:17HE ROARS

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Everyone do their best lion impression.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21THEY ROAR

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Anyway, it's like 3,500 years old.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's like the oldest thing in London. How crazy is that?

0:21:27 > 0:21:29It's older than all your grannies!

0:21:29 > 0:21:31And it wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Cleopatra. Ooh ooh.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Why are you guys all sitting?

0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Everybody get up and let's do the Egyptian dance!- Teach me.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42It goes this way, this way, that way...

0:21:42 > 0:21:46Nice dance, boys. But did your moves do enough to impress?

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Or did they distract from the facts?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52I thought the boat trip was really fun.

0:21:52 > 0:21:53The tour guides did really well.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55I think Richard and Edward did really well.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57They got their facts across right,

0:21:57 > 0:21:59but we just have to wait and see for the results.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01It's the final stop of the tour at Tower Bridge,

0:22:01 > 0:22:05and Team John's last attempt to get the facts across to the tourists.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Will the boys remember enough to win a thrill ride down the river,

0:22:08 > 0:22:11or will they be slapped with a stinky fish?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Eurgh!

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Welcome to this amazing, cool place!

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Everybody say, "Whoa!"

0:22:18 > 0:22:20ALL: Whoa!

0:22:20 > 0:22:24Just so you guys know, this is called the bascular chamber.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27Er, yeah, I think that's called the bascule chamber, John.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30We're right now inside Tower Bridge.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32So if the bridge opened right now,

0:22:32 > 0:22:34we'd get squashed by that massive bit of metal coming down.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Crazy!

0:22:35 > 0:22:38But instead of scaring their tourists half to death,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40the boys have a humongous treat in store

0:22:40 > 0:22:43- for one of their tour party. - Me and Ed, OK,

0:22:43 > 0:22:46because we're like the coolest tour guides in the whole entire world,

0:22:46 > 0:22:51we have got permission later to press the buttons to open the bridge.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Oh, everyone wants to press the button.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00This calls for a classic pull-a-name-out-of-the-hat scenario.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01Jedward-style.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Oh. Who's that going to be? Whose name is this?

0:23:30 > 0:23:32And to top it off, here come Edward and Richard on a boat

0:23:32 > 0:23:34to try and put them off even more.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23They raised the bridge, but will it be enough to raise them to victory?

0:25:26 > 0:25:27It's the moment of truth.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Have the tourists remembered those all-important vital facts

0:25:30 > 0:25:32on the River Thames?

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Or was all of the dancing, bridge-opening and bickering

0:25:38 > 0:25:40too much of a distraction?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29How will Richard cope, seeing as he's terrified of fish?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Or will the sheer pleasure of slapping Edward with one

0:27:32 > 0:27:34cure his fishy phobia?

0:27:34 > 0:27:36It's not good. I just don't like fish.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39I can't get my head around that we've lost.
