With its boats, bridges, historical buildings, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
and high-rise...hair?! | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
Edward, where are we? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |

Whoever loses will have to do the fish-slapping dance. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECT | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-What's that? -What is a fish-slapping dance? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
I don't know. Let's get out of here. The bell's ringing! | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
BIG BEN CHIMES | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
But the boys are going to need some help. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
Look who it is, Edward! | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
It's Ed Petrie from All Over the Place. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
And Richard Wisker from Friday Download. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
So, Ed and Richard, what do you know about the River Th-ames? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
-It's not Th-ames, it's Thames. -And what do you know? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Well, I live in London, so I've crossed the River Thames a lot, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
I've travelled on it a lot, but I don't know very much about it. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
You guys don't seem to know anything. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:00 | |
But, anyway, you guys relax while we get the facts. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Come on, Ed, let's go ask the experts. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
On a boat with Jedward! | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
SAD TROMBONE NOISE | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Tomorrow, John and Edward | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
will be leading a group of tourists on a tour of the Th-ames, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
a place they can't pronounce and know nothing about. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
I can see a clock! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
John will be helped by Ed Petrie | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
while Edward will be with Richard Wisker. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
Each team will be given three stories | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
which the tourists will be tested on | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
to find out which team make the best tour guides. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
John, put your life jacket on. Let's do this. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
It's time for the boys to meet their first expert, Amy. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
She's going to kick things off to a speedy start | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
with a boat ride, to find out all about the river itself. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
Time for the boys to concentrate and start cramming those facts. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-Welcome to the Thames! -How long is the river Th-ames? | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
215 miles. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
DREAMY SOUND EFFECT | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Starting as a small stream in the Cotswolds, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
the River Thames flows 215 miles | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
right through the centre of London out to the North Sea. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
But 25,000 years ago, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
the Thames was just a tributary of the River Rhine, | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
which runs all the way through Europe, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
because Britain was not then an island. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Contrary to what people think, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
the Thames is now a very clean river. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
From having been biologically dead in the 1950s, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
it now holds over 120 different species of fish, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
thanks to conservation work. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Amazing! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
In fact, in 1974, they actually caught a salmon here, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
so that was a sign that we were on the way up. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
You can catch salmon? So you mean we can make sushi? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
You certainly could. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Want to go for lunch later, Amy? | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
Steady on, boys, you've just met her! | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
Keep focusing on these River Thames facts. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
And there's no time to linger, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
as here's their second location | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
and their new guide, Peter. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
There he is. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
He'll be giving them a monumental tour of a place called... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
er, The Monument. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
Right, Jedward, welcome to The Monument. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
We're here to find out all we can about THIS. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
What IS this? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
DREAMY SOUND EFFECT | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
The Monument was designed | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
by the famous architect, Sir Christopher Wren, | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
and completed in 1677. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
It was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
which started in nearby Pudding Lane. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
The fire lasted three days | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
and destroyed 13,000 houses and 89 churches. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
But miraculously though, there were only six deaths. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-Only six people died? -That's absolutely correct. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
It was quite slow burning. People had time to escape. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
-Why not put it out? -They didn't have a fire brigade. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
That was set up after the Great Fire. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Where did the people run to? Did they run to the beach? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
They ran to the river, took boats and went into the river. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-What river? -The Thames, of course! | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
Sorry, did he actually just ask what river?! Can I get a playback? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-What river? -The Thames, of course! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Yes! Yes, he did! Oh... | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Me and Edward want to go to the top. Can we go to the top? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Of course you can. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
All right, Peter, let's go. You lead the way! | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
SLAPSTICK MUSIC | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Careful! | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
HE PANTS | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
-That was crazy! -What a workout! | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
My legs are so sore! | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
We now have an amazing view of London. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Peter, how many steps did we just walk up? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
-311. -It felt like 3 million! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
PETER LAUGHS It's getting really cold up here. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Let's get out of here. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
Brrr! Let's hope they don't have brain freeze | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
and forget all those key facts, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
because tomorrow, it's John and Edward's turn. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
They'll go head-to-head | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
as they each take a group of tourists along the River Thames | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
with the loser facing a fishy forfeit. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
I TROUT their team-mates fancy that! | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Do you see what I did there? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
On a serious note, I am scared of fish. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
ED LAUGHS No, I am! I'm terrified! | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-I can't lose! -Do you want me to make sure that our team loses, | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
so you don't get... | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
If you do that for me, you'll be a brother. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
-It's never going to happen! -Oh, I see how it is! | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Bet he's not scared of fish! | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
This is James, a London Bridge expert with the next story. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
Hi, James! | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
Hello? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
Come back! | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
# London Bridge is falling down falling down, falling down | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
# London Bridge is falling down My fair lady. # | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
James, how old is this bridge? | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
The bridge you see there today goes back to about the 1960s, | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
but the history of London Bridge is far, far greater than that, though. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
It was the Romans who founded London, | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
or Londinium, as they called it. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:32 | |
They built a fort where the Tower of London now stands | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
and the first river crossing where London Bridge sits today. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
In mediaeval times, London Bridge used to be covered in houses, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
whose tenants paid rent to the kings of England. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
Scotland's Braveheart, William Wallace, | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
had the unfortunate honour | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
of being the first of many heads to be displayed on the bridge, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
along with others like Sir Thomas More and Guy Fawkes. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
SCREAMING JEDWARD SCREAM | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
I've got a present to show you, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
to show you what they used to do to the heads up on spikes. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
THEY SQUEAL | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
That guy looks pretty happy. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
I'll be honest with you, I don't think he is. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Back in the olden days, London Bridge had houses on it. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
People used to throw their sewage out the window, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
straight into the river. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
No wonder the River Thames got so dirty! | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
Not only that, though, there was a death tax, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
so if your gran died, you had to pay to bury her body. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
Forget that! What people used to do is come up to the river, | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
goodbye Gran, throw her over the edge, straight in the river. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
So right now, there's a lot of skeletons in the river | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
of people who threw people in the River? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
-Absolutely! -That's really disturbing! | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-That's really so scary! -Seriously, I'm freaked out. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
So am I! The boys are halfway through their tour of the Thames. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
So far, they've found out how long the Thames is, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
how tall The Monument is, | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
and some rather gruesome facts about London Bridge... There it is again! | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Tomorrow they'll be going head-to-head. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Who will sink and who will swim? | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
Next, off to check out another bridge. Tower Bridge. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
And here's Peter again. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
-This is amazing! -Right, guys. Welcome to Tower Bridge. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
What can you tell us about Tower Bridge? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Right, initially built because London expanded so much, | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
London Bridge couldn't cope with traffic. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
They had to build somewhere else to allow people to cross. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-DREAMY SOUND EFFECT -In the late 19th century, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
London became so overcrowded that a new bridge was desperately needed. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
So in 1886, work began on a pioneering design | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
which took eight years to complete. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
Divers prepared the riverbed for massive piers | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
and construction workers worked at 46m above the water | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
without safety nets. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
These days, over 40,000 vehicles | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
successfully cross the bridge every day. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
But in 1952, there was a near miss, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
when it started to open with the number 78 bus still on it. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-This bridge is amazing. Who built it? -Two architects were there. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Horace Jones, unfortunately, died in harness, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
which meant he died before he completed construction. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
John Wolfe-Barry took over. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
It's almost like two castles on a bridge. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
It is. It's totally unique. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
-Is there any ghosts? -No. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
-Are you sure? -No, I haven't seen any. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
What do you do if you see a ghost? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
-Talk to it. -HE LAUGHS | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
That's the spirit! Get it? Spirit? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Ha-ha! Oh, I don't know... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
Anyway, let's see how the boys are doing, remembering all those facts. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
There's loads of dates to remember | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
so I've got to get my head around the different dates, | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
cos I'm always thinking about my birthday. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
I'm just hoping the Queen watches the show | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
and she asks us to bring her on a tour of London. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Yes, I heard she watches with the Corgis all the time(!) | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
Meet Glen. Hi, Glen! | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
He's one of the bridge controllers. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
He's going to take us inside Tower Bridge | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
and tell us another story. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:37 | |
I hope it's uplifting! | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
So, Glen, where are we right now? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Well, you're in the old bridge-driving cabin, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
where the bridge used to be controlled from. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
The bascules, French for see-saws, are the arms of the bridge. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
They raise and lower to let ships pass through. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
On average, the bascules are raised | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
three times a day or 1,000 times a year. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
They used to be powered by enormous steam engines, | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
but today the bascules are driven by oil and electricity. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
And rather than heavy levers, | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
they can be opened by the simple press of a button. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
BOTH: Whoa! | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
-Where are we? -You're actually in the bascule chamber. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
The bascule comes down when the bridge raises. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
When we do a bridge lift, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
that will swing right down towards us. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
And when a boat calls you guys and goes, "Yo, what's happening?" | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
then the whole white thing comes all the way down. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
You can't be in here when it's moving | 0:10:21 | 0:10:22 | |
or you'll be squished like a sandwich. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
What are those noises? | 0:10:24 | 0:10:25 | |
It's the cars, lorries, buses, going across the bridge. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
Do you think me and John are going to do a good job tomorrow | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
-being tour guides? -You'll be brilliant tour guides, | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
but now we've got to get out of here, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
because the bridge is going to open. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-Well, let's go! -Quick, run! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
There's still one more story, and Amy's back. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
This time, she'll be showing the boys | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
one of the most famous landmarks on the Thames. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
Cleopatra's Needle. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:48 | |
What is this? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
It was a present for us from Egypt. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
DREAMY SOUND EFFECT | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
Cleopatra's Needle is 3,500 years old, | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
making it the oldest structure in London. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
It was given to England by the Egyptians in 1819, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
to commemorate the victories of the Battle of the Nile | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
and the Battle of Alexandria, | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
and eventually transported to London. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
But not all is how it should be. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
Early in the 20th century, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
the bronze sphinxes were taken away to be cleaned, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
and put back facing the wrong way round. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
Some say it's how Queen Victoria preferred them, but this way round, | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
they're useless as the ferocious protectors they were meant to be. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
It came all the way from Egypt. It's amazing! | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
The reason its name is Cleopatra's Needle, they think, | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
is because the boat that brought it over was called Cleopatra. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
I thought it was something to do with... | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
Remember the Egyptians used to put the needle in the nose | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
and pull out the brain? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
No, you wouldn't want that up your nose! | 0:11:38 | 0:11:39 | |
They reckon the needle's actually cursed. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
-This is cursed? -That's what they believe. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-Is there a mummy inside? -No, there's no mummies inside. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
It's a solid piece of stone. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
Something that you guys might find interesting | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
is this needle's actually a twin. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
The other twin is in New York. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:53 | |
John, sometimes I wish you were in New York. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
-No, sometimes I wish YOU were in New York. -Eating hot dogs! | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
Sometimes I wish you were in London and I was in New York, | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
having a great time eating hotdogs. AMY GIGGLES | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
Boys, boys! It's been a nice day, don't spoil it! | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
It's time to say goodbye. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
Tomorrow John and Edward will be the experts, | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
with Ed and Richard helping to BRIDGE the gaps in their knowledge. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
Ha-ha-ha...oh... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Moving swiftly on to Jedward HQ, | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
where the teams are busy preparing all of their props | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
and desperately trying to remember everything they've been told today | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
for the big tour tomorrow. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
But things don't seem to be going that smoothly, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
as Edward still can't get his head around the most important fact. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
The name of the river. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:36 | |
I've got to tell you about the geography of the Th-ames. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
No, it's the THAMES. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
-Th-ames? -The river Thames. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:42 | |
-That's the only thing I know. -OK. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
If you can't get that right, we're going to lose. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
-So it's the Thames? -Yeah. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:46 | |
The Monument, OK, it's really cool, | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
you go up there, all the tourists, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
and by the time you go from the bottom to the top, | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
your legs really, really hurt. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
-Is that a fact? -It's a fact. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
Do we get points for that, though? | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-Your legs really hurt if you get to the top? -Yeah, I think so. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
-I think so. -I don't think you do. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:02 | |
They used to punish people and get their heads | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
and put them on spikes to punish them. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Guy Fawkes is a really famous one. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
He had a beard exactly like this. Check it out. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
I want to win. I want this boat trip. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Hello?! We've got a papier mache head! | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
Hmm, time to get your heads down. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
Lights out, nighty-night! | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
COCKEREL CROWS | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Morning! Are the boys ready? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
They'd better be, because there's a group of tourists on their way | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
to the banks of the river, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
and they have no idea where they're going, or with whom. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
Hopefully, the tour guide will be funny and happy, | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
not old and boring and grumpy. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
I don't know where we're going, | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
and sometimes surprises make me get all weird inside. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
Well, you're in for a shock! | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Time for the tour guides to introduce themselves. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
What's up, guys? I'm John! | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-THEY GASP AND SQUEAL -I'm Edward! | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Do you think tour guides can do this?! | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
THEY GIGGLE Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
All right, guys, we have celebrity guests. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Do you want to know who they are? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
ALL: Yes! | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
So my celebrity guest is Ed Petrie from hit series, All Over The Place! | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
And I've got Richard Wisker from Friday Download! | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
-Get over here, guys! -What's up, Ed? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Are you excited about being with me? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-Are you guys excited? -ALL: Yeah! | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
I said, are you guys excited? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
THEY SHOUT Yeah! | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
Well, let's run this way, being excited! | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
THEY SQUEAL | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
It's time for the tour to begin, and Team Edward are up to start. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
Will they be able to make a big enough splash | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
to get the facts about the River Thames | 0:14:35 | 0:14:36 | |
across to the tourists? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
Go, Edward! Go, Emily! Go, Olivia! | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
Go, Ella! Go, Cy! | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
Hit it! Let's get out of here! | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Remember, whichever team delivers the facts the best | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
wins a speedy boat ride, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:49 | |
with the losers being slapped with a big, wet fish. Yuck! | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
We are now on the Thames river. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
-Do you guys think there's any fish here? -ALL: Yeah. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-Tell them about fish. -I don't like fish. I'm scared of fish. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
How many species do you think are in this Thames river? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
-Do you know, I know. 120 different species. -How much species are there? | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-ALL: 120. -Guess what, guys? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
In 1952, the Thames was declared biologically dead. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
That meant that no fish could live here or anything. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
-You know, it used to be dirty, but now it's clean. -It's clean now! | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
-I want a drink! -No, no, no, you can't drink it! -Really? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
No, it's that clean. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
-And did you know, there's 215 miles of water? How many, Ed? -215 miles. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
But anyway, we're now going under a bridge. It makes really cool echoes. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Everybody scream! | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
THEY SCREAM | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
Echo! Echo! | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
Echo! Echo! Sorry, carry on. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
So that's your tour of the history and geography of the river Thames. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
Over and out. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
It's a strong start from Team Edward. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
Next stop, the monument. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:48 | |
Will Ed be the tower of strength John needs to get the facts across? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:53 | |
What's the first fact about the Monument, Ed? | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
What's it a monument for? I'll give you a clue. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Aargh! Aargh! Aargh! | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
-Aargh! Aargh! -Fire of London. -Yes. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
This was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
and it was finished in 19... | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
No, 1677. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
No, 1666. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
No, it was... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:11 | |
Oh, finished. Sorry. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
It was finished in 1977. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
No, 1677! | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
No, it's... | 0:16:15 | 0:16:16 | |
-No, not 1977... -Oh, come on! | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
If you two are confused, how must the tourists be feeling? | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
-All right, moving on, OK. -It was a really big fire. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
It destroyed over 13,000 houses. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
89 churches were destroyed in the Great Fire of London. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
-And when was the Great Fire of London? -1666. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-Really easy to remember. Loads of sixes. -1666! | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
At the very, very top, there's this crazy, gold, | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
gold, sparkly thing on the top. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
-What's that to represent? -Fire? | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
No, it's used to represent Jedward hair. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
It's actually not. It's actually to represent the fire. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
We now have this awesome, crazy quiz. This... | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
-Oh, sorry. -Oh, no. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
-That's given the game away. -How many people died? | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-6,000? -Take off three zeroes. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Are you ready for this? It's six! | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Is that all? Six people? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:02 | |
-What? -Yeah. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Does anybody know how tall it is? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:05 | |
61 metres tall. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Whoa. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
OK. Last question before we go to the top of the monument is | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
how many steps are there to the top? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
-Dunno. Maybe we should count them. -Are you sure? | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
-Yeah, we should count them on the way up. -All right. Let's go. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
-Come on, you know the way, let's go. -Follow me! -Come on, guys. -One... | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
two... three, four, five... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
10, 11, 12... | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
I'm already regretting this a lot. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
310... 311! | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
Yes, we did it, guys. Come on, guys, go here. Yes! | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
We did it, guys. We made the top of the monument. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
How are you guys all feeling after getting to the top of the monument? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-ALL: -Tired. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
Tired. Isn't it an amazing view? | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-Who wants to bungee jump down the monument? -Me! Me! | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
Well, you know what, you can't, because that's totally unsafe, | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
so we've got to walk all the way back down. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
Well, on that health and safety note, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
what did the tourists think? | 0:18:05 | 0:18:06 | |
It was really interesting and funny at the same time, so it was great. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
I think Team John were really funny | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
and they got the facts across very well, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
and I think it's going to be hard competition for Team Edward. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
Nice work, boys. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
Back on the river, and it's Team Edward's turn. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
Can they remember the story of London Bridge? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
Guys, welcome to London Bridge. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
This bridge was first made by the Romans, and they named London. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
But they said it in Roman. They said "Londinium". What's it called? | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
ALL: Londinium. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
So much history to this bridge. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Real gory, like crazy, like sick things happened here. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
They used to put heads on spikes! | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
ALL: Ewww! | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
The first person whose head was put on a spike was William... | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
NARRATOR GASPS ..Wallace? | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
-William Wallace. -Phew! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-And who's this guy? -That's Guy Fawkes. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
The main point was to scare the general public | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
so they wouldn't do any bad things, so that means that you couldn't | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
take sweets from a shop or your head would end up on a stick. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
So catch, catch! | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
Gross! | 0:19:06 | 0:19:07 | |
Eurgh! | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
Doesn't my helmet look cool? | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
I think you could have passed for a Roman. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
I'm thinking of changing my hair to a red mohawk. What do you think? | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
I think it makes you look like a chicken. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
Anyhoo, will the tourists remember the facts about London Bridge | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
or did it all just go over their heads? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Team John's turn now to take over at Tower Bridge. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
-But how are they feeling about their chances of success? -We're doomed. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
We're actually doomed. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
When it comes to doing a tour, I will rock it. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
The facts will be coming out of me like spaghetti. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
What? Spaghetti? Oh, dear. Poor Ed. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
They're doomed, they're actually doomed. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
All right, guys. We are here at Tower Bridge. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
It took 400 people in total to build Tower Bridge. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
But the most important person you've got to remember | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
who designed the bridge, his name is...erm... | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
Yes? | 0:19:55 | 0:19:56 | |
-What is it? -I don't know, you haven't told me anything. -I don't know. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
-Oh, come on, boys. -It's Horace... | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
Horace... | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
-Horace Jones. -Oh, phew. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
Horace Jones designed the Tower Bridge. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
-Brilliant. -You know this! I told you! | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-You didn't! -You're meant to be helping me. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
Yeah, I would help if you told me anything. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
-I can't remember everything! -I know nothing! -Awkward. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
That tower and that tower there, that's the north tower, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
that's the south tower. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
-No, that's south. -Ohhh. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
-Are you sure? -Yeah. -I don't think so. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
No, that's definitely the south tower. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
That's north London. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
-OK. Sure? -It's not a great start, boys, if I'm honest. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
Ooh! But what's this? | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
A bit of undercover spying from the other team. Sneaky. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Let's see if they can do better at Cleopatra's Needle. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
-Isn't it awesome? -ALL: Yes! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
-Do you guys know where it's from? -Egypt? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
-Yes. -Ahhh! -It's from Egypt. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
We've got to get into our outfits. Put outfits on. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
To help get the facts across, Team Edward have decided to dress up | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
as a rather fetching Queen Victoria and a glamorous Cleopatra. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
Looks more like Jessie J! | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
In the Victorian times, | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
you decided to get those two Sphinxes cleaned, didn't you? | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
Yep. And I decided to change it because I was paranoid. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
And she faced them around the wrong way. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
So, guys, the Sphinxes are actually lions and they go... | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
HE ROARS | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
Everyone do their best lion impression. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
THEY ROAR | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
Anyway, it's like 3,500 years old. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
It's like the oldest thing in London. How crazy is that? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
It's older than all your grannies! | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
And it wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Cleopatra. Ooh ooh. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:34 | |
Why are you guys all sitting? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
-Everybody get up and let's do the Egyptian dance! -Teach me. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
It goes this way, this way, that way... | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Nice dance, boys. But did your moves do enough to impress? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
Or did they distract from the facts? | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
I thought the boat trip was really fun. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
The tour guides did really well. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
I think Richard and Edward did really well. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
They got their facts across right, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
but we just have to wait and see for the results. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
It's the final stop of the tour at Tower Bridge, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
and Team John's last attempt to get the facts across to the tourists. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
Will the boys remember enough to win a thrill ride down the river, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
or will they be slapped with a stinky fish? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
Eurgh! | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Welcome to this amazing, cool place! | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
Everybody say, "Whoa!" | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
ALL: Whoa! | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
Just so you guys know, this is called the bascular chamber. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
Er, yeah, I think that's called the bascule chamber, John. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
We're right now inside Tower Bridge. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
So if the bridge opened right now, | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
we'd get squashed by that massive bit of metal coming down. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
Crazy! | 0:22:34 | 0:22:35 | |
But instead of scaring their tourists half to death, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
the boys have a humongous treat in store | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
-for one of their tour party. -Me and Ed, OK, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
because we're like the coolest tour guides in the whole entire world, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
we have got permission later to press the buttons to open the bridge. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
Who wants to do it? | 0:22:51 | 0:22:52 | |
-ALL: -Me! | 0:22:52 | 0:22:53 | |
Oh, everyone wants to press the button. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
This calls for a classic pull-a-name-out-of-the-hat scenario. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
Jedward-style. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:01 | |
Oh. Who's that going to be? Whose name is this? | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
Who's going to be the chooser? Press the button? Edward! | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
-Are you excited? -Yes! -You get to open Tower Bridge. -That's so cool. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
We actually need to get out of here. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:15 | |
The bridge will open very soon because a boat's coming through. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
Let's get out before we get squashed! | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Come on, guys! Get out of here! | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
What an honour. The boys are going to open Tower Bridge. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
But could all of this excitement | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
prove a huge distraction to the tourists? | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
And to top it off, here come Edward and Richard on a boat | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
to try and put them off even more. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
# Come with us There's so much to discover | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
# A crazy adventure with me and my brother | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
# We'll dig up things that'll freak you out | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
# Cos this is Jedward's Big Adventure! # | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
Yeah! Ahem. Back to the bridge opening. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
-Hello, Glen. -Hello there. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
So we're going to open Tower Bridge, are we? | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
-We certainly are. -This is Edward. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
He is so excited about opening Tower Bridge. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
-Are you ready to do this? -Yeah. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:58 | |
'Staff announcement -' | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
bridge controls are now switched on. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
Is that John talking? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
J to the E to the D to the ward. Planet Jedward. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
Oh, it's John! | 0:24:08 | 0:24:09 | |
'Planet Jedward. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:10 | |
'Planet Jedward. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
'Planet Jedward.' | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
This is so cool! | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
'If you do not clear the bridge, you will be...' | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
Exterminated. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
'..exterminated.' | 0:24:21 | 0:24:22 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
There's some really confused people | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
walking across that bridge right now. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Opening the bridge in 3...2...1... | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Edward, you take over now. You're about to raise Tower Bridge. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
London, open the bridge! | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
-Grab the handle and gently pull it back. -There we go! | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
Oh, my God! | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
Whoa! | 0:24:46 | 0:24:47 | |
It's the coolest thing ever! | 0:24:47 | 0:24:48 | |
That's so cool! It's so cool. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
It's definitely opening. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:53 | |
I just opened Tower Bridge. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Oh, so cool! | 0:24:55 | 0:24:56 | |
That is so awesome. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
This is so Jepic! | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
Whoop whoop! | 0:25:00 | 0:25:01 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
Yes! Awesome! We opened Tower Bridge! | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
London, this is the man who just raised Tower Bridge, right here! | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
It's an impressive climax from Team John. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
They raised the bridge, but will it be enough to raise them to victory? | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
It's the moment of truth. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
Have the tourists remembered those all-important vital facts | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
on the River Thames? | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
Or was all of the dancing, bridge-opening and bickering | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
too much of a distraction? | 0:25:38 | 0:25:40 | |
It's time to find out, as the tourists take the big test. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:45 | |
Will the tourists remember how tall the Monument is? | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
61 metres tall. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Who was the first person to have their head put on a stick? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
-William... -Wallace? | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Catch, catch! | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
Or how many species of fish are there in the River Thames? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
How much species are there? | 0:26:04 | 0:26:05 | |
ALL: 120. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
They're being asked two questions on each of the stories. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
For each correct answer, there's a point in it for the team | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
that told that story, and the team with the most points will win, | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
whilst the losers will face a humiliating fish-slapping dance | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
with loads of smelly old fish. Yuck! | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
The test is now over. It's time to reveal the score. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:27 | |
Right, the moment you've all been waiting for. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Edward and Richard, 12 points. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
Oh, my Jedward! That's really bad. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:39 | |
John and Ed... | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
27! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
JOHN AND ED CHEER | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
No, no, no... | 0:26:48 | 0:26:49 | |
I asked... | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
-12 points. -Richard, what am I, what am I? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
-Yeah, yeah, all right. -What are you? -I'm a fish! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
Here, fishy, fishy! Here, fishy! | 0:26:55 | 0:26:56 | |
I taught you all the facts! | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
You said we had this in the bag. | 0:26:58 | 0:26:59 | |
John, I think we've got a boat to catch. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
Yeah, come on, let's get out of here. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
Congratulations, Team John, | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
kicking off the series with his first win. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
John and Ed are now off to ride the waves of victory | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
on an exhilarating, adrenaline-pumping, | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
super-fast speedboat, while the losers, Edward and Richard, | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
will now have to partake in a gruesome fish-slappnig dance | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
where they'll get disgustingly slapped | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
by a load of rotten old fish. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
How will Richard cope, seeing as he's terrified of fish? | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
Or will the sheer pleasure of slapping Edward with one | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
cure his fishy phobia? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
It's not good. I just don't like fish. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
I can't get my head around that we've lost. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
Not good. I feel really sick. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
Here we go. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:46 | |
JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYS | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
Yeah, looks like he's cured. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:54 | |
Whooo! | 0:27:54 | 0:27:55 | |
This is what winners do! | 0:27:57 | 0:27:58 | |
Driving speedboats really fast down the River Thames! | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
