0:00:510:00:53

The Imperial War Museum, Duxford - home to over 200 aircraft,

0:00:570:01:02

tanks, military vehicles

0:01:020:01:03

and for two days only...

0:01:030:01:05

Jedward.

0:01:050:01:06

-We're here.

-Where?

0:01:060:01:08

-This is Duxford.

-Here, ducky-ducky!

0:01:080:01:11

TOOT!

0:01:110:01:12

-Look, Edward, it's our mission.

-Hey! Get off! They're for the ducks!

0:01:120:01:17

It says, "Dear Jedward, in just 24 hours' time

0:01:170:01:19

"you will each have to give a group of tourists

0:01:190:01:22

"a guided tour of the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

0:01:220:01:25

"You'll be telling them all about the Battle of Britain

0:01:250:01:27

and the role of the Air Force in World War II.

0:01:270:01:30

But what about the ducks?

0:01:300:01:32

Edward, there are no ducks.

0:01:320:01:34

This is a war museum, it has aeroplanes and like, boats and stuff.

0:01:340:01:38

Hey, look! Whoever gives the best tour

0:01:380:01:40

will get to fly in a real World War II aeroplane.

0:01:400:01:43

Awesome!

0:01:430:01:44

But whoever loses will have to sit in a dark, dingy air-raid shelter

0:01:450:01:50

with a stinky gas mask!

0:01:500:01:52

-Edward, I think we're going to need some help.

-Hey, look!

0:01:550:01:58

Who's that over there?

0:01:580:02:00

Edward, look! It's Naveed Choudhry and Katie McGlynn from Waterloo Road.

0:02:000:02:04

Welcome to Jedward's Big Adventure, guys. You guys excited?

0:02:040:02:08

Wheeey! Very excited.

0:02:080:02:09

-So what do you guys know about ducks?

-Not a lot.

0:02:090:02:12

I told you, there aren't any ducks.

0:02:120:02:14

What do you guys know about World War II and the Battle of Britain?

0:02:140:02:18

-Not a lot.

-Edward, I think we need an expert. What do you think?

0:02:180:02:21

Yeah. You guys relax while we get the facts.

0:02:210:02:24

Come on, let's see what the experts say, Edward.

0:02:240:02:26

Yes, there's no ducking out of this challenge.

0:02:260:02:28

It's time to get quacking and no more duck jokes.

0:02:280:02:31

Tomorrow, John and Edward will be leading a group of tourists

0:02:310:02:34

round Duxford, a place they know absolutely nothing about.

0:02:340:02:39

John will be helped by Naveed while Edward will be with Katie.

0:02:400:02:43

Each will be given three stories

0:02:430:02:44

which the tourists will be tested on.

0:02:440:02:47

Look at the plane, John!

0:02:470:02:49

It's time for the boys to meet their expert for the day.

0:02:490:02:51

He's a man who knows all about Britain's fight

0:02:510:02:53

against Nazi Germany in World War II, which lasted from 1939 to 1945.

0:02:530:02:59

He's Carl Warner - hello, Carl - and Carl's going to start with

0:03:000:03:04

the Battle of Britain in 1940 and the planes that fought in it.

0:03:040:03:08

-What is this?

-This is a replica of a Spitfire.

0:03:090:03:12

-What's a replica?

-It means a copy.

0:03:120:03:14

-He's a replica of me.

-By how many seconds?

0:03:140:03:16

By ten seconds.

0:03:160:03:17

The RAF had two main fighter aeroplanes in the Battle of Britain,

0:03:170:03:21

the Spitfire and the Hurricane.

0:03:210:03:23

Spitfire and Hurricane.

0:03:230:03:24

In 1940 with France defeated and much of Europe under Nazi control,

0:03:260:03:30

Britain stood alone.

0:03:300:03:31

The German leader, Adolf Hitler, now wanted to invade the UK.

0:03:310:03:34

To do that he needed to take control of the skies

0:03:340:03:36

and that meant destroying the RAF -

0:03:360:03:38

one of the greatest air battles in history was about to begin.

0:03:380:03:41

In desperate dogfights over the skies of southern England,

0:03:410:03:44

the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the smaller RAF

0:03:440:03:46

took on the might of the massive German Air Force, the Luftwaffe.

0:03:460:03:50

The Spitfire became a symbol for the incredible bravery

0:03:500:03:53

of the few young pilots who won the Battle of Britain

0:03:530:03:56

and stopped Hitler from invading.

0:03:560:03:57

(John.)

0:03:590:04:01

-How fast does this aeroplane go, really fast?

-Pretty fast, yeah.

0:04:010:04:04

One of the things that a fighter needs is speed.

0:04:040:04:06

-So this is like a sports car in aeroplane terms?

-That's right, yeah.

0:04:060:04:10

Why's it called a Spitfire? Does it spit fire?

0:04:100:04:13

Effectively it does because it's got four machine guns in that wing

0:04:130:04:16

and four in that wing.

0:04:160:04:17

-Does it actually fire everywhere, like, phooosh?!

-That's so dangerous!

0:04:170:04:21

It was dangerous and if you imagine the bravery it would take

0:04:210:04:24

to get inside one of these, fly off with your squadron

0:04:240:04:27

and quite often these young men were shot down, they were killed.

0:04:270:04:30

-These guys were so brave.

-They're total heroes.

0:04:300:04:32

Think of the responsibility they had,

0:04:320:04:34

they did it for their country and they totally rocked it!

0:04:340:04:36

That's right.

0:04:360:04:37

If they hadn't been so brave then we'd all be speaking, like, German.

0:04:370:04:41

I'd be like, "Hello, Guten Tag, we sie Jedward."

0:04:410:04:44

-And they were about your age as well.

-They were our age?

0:04:440:04:47

-We're 20 years old.

-Yeah.

-For that, like, age.

-Could you do it?

0:04:470:04:52

We couldn't even drive a car!

0:04:520:04:55

Wow, that story certainly hit home with the boys.

0:04:550:04:58

-Time for the next stop on their tour.

-Carl, what is this?

0:04:580:05:02

-This is an air-raid shelter.

-An air-raid shelter. And what's that?

0:05:020:05:06

Well, this is a mocked-up version of something that was in

0:05:060:05:09

hundreds of thousands of people's gardens in the Second World War.

0:05:090:05:13

The Luftwaffe bombed British cities night after night for nine months.

0:05:150:05:18

This was called the Blitz

0:05:180:05:20

and it was designed to break British spirits and make them surrender.

0:05:200:05:24

Wailing sirens were the warning that German bombers were on their way

0:05:240:05:27

and people would rush to air-raid shelters with their gas masks.

0:05:270:05:30

Around 43,000 people died during the Blitz

0:05:310:05:33

and hundreds of thousands of homes were destroyed.

0:05:330:05:36

So, Carl, this is kind of like having your own hideout/den, wasn't it?

0:05:380:05:43

It was, it was a bit more serious than that.

0:05:430:05:45

People depended for their lives on structures like this.

0:05:450:05:48

The important thing to remember is that you didn't know

0:05:480:05:50

when you got out whether your house would still be there.

0:05:500:05:53

So it was really scary and it was really uncertain

0:05:530:05:55

-and people didn't know what to expect.

-What are those masks?

0:05:550:05:58

-Can we try those masks on? Pass one.

-Well, these...

0:05:580:06:00

They're like Darth Vader masks.

0:06:000:06:02

These are gas masks. Everybody in the UK had to carry...

0:06:020:06:06

It will ruin my hair!

0:06:060:06:08

It will probably damage your hair(!)

0:06:080:06:10

So every person in the UK had masks? Yeah, even babies had them.

0:06:100:06:13

Babies had them where they were huge masks that babies had to fit inside.

0:06:130:06:16

-It's not a Darth Vader mask, take it off.

-Hair's still good.

0:06:180:06:22

-Carl, OK, how long have you been learning history for?

-Many years.

0:06:220:06:27

Do you think we'll be able to learn all this information in a day?

0:06:270:06:30

I think you're going to be great.

0:06:300:06:32

Who d'you think'll be better tomorrow with the tourists - me or Edward?

0:06:320:06:35

I couldn't possibly say. I've got my suspicions.

0:06:350:06:37

Just say Edward.

0:06:370:06:39

I think someone called Grimes is going to win.

0:06:390:06:41

So how's your seat on the fence, Carl? Comfy is it?

0:06:410:06:44

Oh, well, Katie and Naveed have no such doubts.

0:06:440:06:47

They're rooting firmly for their OWN teams.

0:06:470:06:49

-I must say, I'm pretty confident.

-You're joking?

0:06:490:06:52

-This is Jedward we're talking about.

-Oh, yeah.

0:06:520:06:54

-No, but I think I've got the cleverest one.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

0:06:540:06:57

-No, I think Edward's all right, you know.

-We're going to win.

0:06:570:07:00

I don't want to be in the dark, dingy shelter.

0:07:000:07:02

Ooh, well, close your eyes and get used to it

0:07:020:07:05

cos that's where you're heading!

0:07:050:07:07

Eh, I don't think so, mate!

0:07:070:07:09

Well, time will tell.

0:07:090:07:10

Whilst Naveed and Katie are getting competitive, John and Edward

0:07:100:07:13

continue their fact-finding tour of the museum with Carl.

0:07:130:07:17

OK, boys, this is the operations room.

0:07:170:07:19

This is where it really happened?

0:07:190:07:21

That's right, this is where all Duxford's fighters

0:07:210:07:23

-were directed into combat.

-This place is so cool!

0:07:230:07:27

I feel like I'm actually back in World War II.

0:07:270:07:29

Well, that's the effect we're going for.

0:07:290:07:32

With lots of men involved in fighting overseas,

0:07:330:07:36

millions of women helped with the war effort

0:07:360:07:38

in places like the operations room.

0:07:380:07:40

This was similar to an early computer

0:07:400:07:41

or air-traffic control centre

0:07:410:07:43

which tracked where the German Air Force was heading with their bombs

0:07:430:07:45

so that the Spitfires and Hurricanes could fly off to attack them.

0:07:450:07:49

Ops rooms right across the UK would order their squadrons

0:07:490:07:52

to scramble and all the pilots would stop what they were doing

0:07:520:07:54

and rush to their aircraft.

0:07:540:07:56

The most important thing was information

0:07:570:07:59

coming in from radar stations.

0:07:590:08:01

So all that information comes in right here and gets processed

0:08:010:08:04

and pushed out again.

0:08:040:08:06

So how does it feel that the air we're breathing right now,

0:08:060:08:09

this is where it all went down and we're standing where it happened?

0:08:090:08:13

It was in rooms like this that the defence of this country

0:08:130:08:16

was planned and carried out.

0:08:160:08:18

It's halfway through their day of finding out about World War II

0:08:180:08:21

and the boys have the Battle of Britain,

0:08:210:08:23

the Blitz and the ops room covered.

0:08:230:08:25

But how much of that will they remember?

0:08:250:08:27

No time for swotting, Carl has more to show them.

0:08:270:08:31

All right, Carl, we're here at this ginormous aeroplane. What is this?

0:08:310:08:36

-This is a B-17 Flying Fortress.

-A B-17 Flying Fortress?

-Mm-hm.

0:08:360:08:41

So this is an American aircraft that was used in the Second World War

0:08:410:08:44

and it's a bomber.

0:08:440:08:45

It wasn't just the British fighting the Luftwaffe -

0:08:450:08:48

pilots from countries such as Poland, Czechoslovakia,

0:08:480:08:51

Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand

0:08:510:08:54

and they all fought with the RAF

0:08:540:08:55

and by 1942 the Americans had arrived in the UK

0:08:550:08:58

with their bombers such as the Flying Fortress

0:08:580:09:00

to help fight the Nazis.

0:09:000:09:01

This was great for British children as the Americans brought sweets,

0:09:010:09:05

chocolate and chewing gum which were very difficult to get

0:09:050:09:09

-in rationed Britain.

-Cool!

0:09:090:09:10

This particular aircraft is called Sally B.

0:09:100:09:12

Lots of the American planes had names.

0:09:120:09:14

It still flies today and it flies in memory of the thousands

0:09:140:09:17

of American airmen who very tragically were killed over Germany.

0:09:170:09:21

-What's its official title again?

-It's a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress.

0:09:210:09:24

A Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and its nickname is Sally B?

0:09:240:09:30

See that? I already know my facts and we haven't even started the tour.

0:09:300:09:33

-Carl, you're so cool!

-Imagine if you've never seen an American before

0:09:330:09:37

except in the movies and all of a sudden they're here.

0:09:370:09:39

(AMERICAN ACCENT) Hey, y'all, want some French fries? Want a burger?

0:09:390:09:43

Hey, y'all. Yeah, I want a dollar.

0:09:430:09:45

So what did the Americans do to have...fun?!

0:09:450:09:48

They brought over a completely different culture in many respects.

0:09:480:09:51

-The Jitterbug, for example.

-What's that?

0:09:510:09:52

It was a type of dance and it became really popular all over the world

0:09:520:09:55

cos Americans were bringing it...

0:09:550:09:57

What type of dance is it? How does it go? Does it go like this? Like this?

0:09:570:10:01

It's kind of like a ballroom dance, it's quite energetic

0:10:010:10:03

but I think you ought to find out for yourselves.

0:10:030:10:06

OK, we'll find out what it is and we'll show all the tourists tomorrow.

0:10:060:10:09

Mm, lucky tourists(!)

0:10:090:10:10

Clearly the boys are enjoying their tour of Duxford

0:10:120:10:14

more than Carl is enjoying their impressions anyway.

0:10:140:10:17

We are getting ready for takeoff. The aeroplane is now taking off,

0:10:170:10:20

we hope you enjoy your flight with Jed Airways.

0:10:200:10:23

Jed aeroplane's flying.

0:10:230:10:25

Oh, no, it's crashed!

0:10:250:10:27

Next, Carl has another plane to show them.

0:10:270:10:30

No, it's not one of those, it's one of these, a Lancaster bomber.

0:10:300:10:33

-Do you have to be really important to have your own plane?

-Pretty much.

0:10:330:10:36

-How can we get our own plane?

-You could buy one?

-Is it expensive?

0:10:360:10:39

-Yeah.

-How much would this cost?

-More than I earn.

0:10:390:10:41

When you start working for us I'll give you loads of money!

0:10:410:10:44

OK, so, we're going to have a look now at what the Lancaster carried,

0:10:440:10:47

it's called a bouncing bomb.

0:10:470:10:49

Lancasters are most famous for the Dambusters raid in 1943.

0:10:500:10:54

The Allies worked out that it would really hit Germany hard

0:10:540:10:57

if they destroyed some of the dams

0:10:570:10:59

that supplied all of the power to the factories.

0:10:590:11:01

But bombing a dam is very difficult and they were very well protected.

0:11:010:11:05

Dr Barnes Wallis came up with a genius idea.

0:11:050:11:08

First, testing his theory in the back garden

0:11:080:11:10

using his daughter's marbles,

0:11:100:11:12

Dr Wallis invented a bomb that could bounce on water before sinking

0:11:120:11:15

and exploding at the bottom of the dam.

0:11:150:11:17

Whoa! Some awesome facts, Edward!

0:11:200:11:23

The squadron that carried it out - number 617 Squadron -

0:11:230:11:25

they were known as the Dambusters, for obvious reasons.

0:11:250:11:29

Carl, is there any chance that me and John could fly one of these?

0:11:290:11:31

You might have to wear a helmet

0:11:310:11:33

which might do some irreparable damage to your hair.

0:11:330:11:36

We have really good vision, we're able to do this in the dark!

0:11:360:11:39

OK, well, that's good enough.

0:11:390:11:40

Carl, we're going to teach you something.

0:11:400:11:42

John's the plane and I'm the bomb, OK? Go, John!

0:11:420:11:45

THEY MAKE AEROPLANE NOISES

0:11:450:11:47

-Drop the bomb!

-Pow!

0:11:490:11:51

Bounce to Carl.

0:11:510:11:52

Pow! Pow! Boom!

0:11:520:11:54

Dear, oh dear! That's why Carl's the expert, boys, and not you!

0:11:540:11:58

Left, right, quick march into our final story!

0:11:580:12:01

Carl, what is this stuff?

0:12:030:12:04

They want me to tell you about an organisation

0:12:040:12:06

called the Special Operations Executive, SOE for short.

0:12:060:12:09

In 1940, the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill,

0:12:090:12:12

started the Special Operations Executive.

0:12:120:12:14

Men and women were trained to become spies,

0:12:140:12:17

learning how to kill with their bare hands,

0:12:170:12:19

parachute out of aeroplanes and to disguise themselves.

0:12:190:12:22

Exploding rats, canoes that went underwater

0:12:220:12:24

and fake hollow trees to hide secret equipment

0:12:240:12:27

were just some of the clever ideas thought up by undercover agents

0:12:270:12:30

to strike the enemy anytime, anywhere.

0:12:300:12:32

So you would have a fake object that to the untrained eye

0:12:330:12:36

you'd just go, "Oh, that's a tree or a piece of wood

0:12:360:12:39

"or a piece of fruit or something,"

0:12:390:12:40

then within that you could conceal stuff.

0:12:400:12:42

So anything from plastic explosives and things like that to radios

0:12:420:12:46

and transmitters to compasses.

0:12:460:12:48

-Back then, could we have hid stuff in our hair?

-You could have done,

0:12:480:12:51

but do you think the Germans might have spotted you and gone,

0:12:510:12:53

"That's not a usual hairstyle?"

0:12:530:12:55

They needed to be secret, they needed to be unobtrusive.

0:12:550:12:57

-They needed to blend totally into the background.

-Yep.

0:12:570:13:00

I don't think your skills are blending into the background.

0:13:000:13:03

The whole point of the SOE was to blend in and not get noticed

0:13:030:13:06

-and keep undercover, keep under the radar.

-That's it.

0:13:060:13:08

Were they like James Bond?

0:13:080:13:09

They were very much like that, but, of course, the tragedy is that

0:13:090:13:12

when Special Operations Executive agents were caught,

0:13:120:13:15

frequently they were executed because the punishment

0:13:150:13:18

for being a spy behind enemy lines in lots of countries is death.

0:13:180:13:21

That's what's so interesting about this place is that

0:13:210:13:24

you've got the really cool aeroplanes and everything

0:13:240:13:26

but what they were used for was really traumatic.

0:13:260:13:28

That's exactly it, yeah.

0:13:280:13:31

I think Carl taught us so much about World War II.

0:13:310:13:33

I didn't know so much stuff about World War II,

0:13:330:13:35

now I do and I'm ready to give an amazing tour tomorrow.

0:13:350:13:37

I hope you took in as much stuff as I did.

0:13:370:13:39

-Don't you realise that I'm really good at history?

-No, you're not.

0:13:390:13:43

-No, I'm good.

-You're not going to be tomorrow.

0:13:430:13:45

You may be good at history but you're not as good at World War II as me.

0:13:450:13:48

-Are you excited, Edward? Are you scared?

-I'm finishing my orange.

0:13:480:13:51

How do you feel that I took more facts than you did?

0:13:510:13:54

-You're going down!

-We'll see!

0:13:540:13:57

Back at the hotel the teams get busy preparing for tomorrow.

0:13:570:14:00

Kate, OK, I know all the facts. I'm really smart.

0:14:000:14:03

-Naveed, what are you doing?!

-Shhh! Just listening.

0:14:030:14:06

You're trying to listen to Katie and Edward?

0:14:060:14:08

Yeah, they might have some good ideas.

0:14:080:14:10

-D'you know any facts about it?

-No.

-I don't know, maybe it's like...

0:14:100:14:13

-What can I tell you? I don't know what to say.

-D'you want to win this?

0:14:130:14:17

-What's going on there?

-It's awfully quiet.

0:14:170:14:19

-We're going to win this, come on!

-We'll win this just for being cool.

0:14:190:14:22

They're talking about how awesome I am and that I'll win.

0:14:220:14:25

-Are they crying...?

-They say they're going to win!

0:14:250:14:27

They're not, what are they saying that for?

0:14:270:14:29

Because the bomb shelter's really, really small and it's really dingy,

0:14:290:14:33

I was thinking brightening it up by getting, like, a cool sing-song.

0:14:330:14:37

Ooh, right, that's good.

0:14:370:14:39

Focus, John. Focus.

0:14:390:14:40

I'm totally focused, you're the one that needs to focus!

0:14:400:14:43

-Hopefully things are more harmonious next door.

-Three...

0:14:430:14:46

# You are my sunshine, my only sunshine... #

0:14:460:14:50

Or maybe not.

0:14:500:14:51

# You make me happy > when skies are grey... #

0:14:510:14:54

Hmm, I quite agree, Naveed.

0:14:540:14:56

# You have no idea how much I love you

0:14:560:14:58

# So don't take my sunshine away. #

0:14:580:15:01

That's quite enough of that, thank you. Night-night, teams!

0:15:010:15:04

-ALARM CLOCK RINGS

-Morning!

0:15:040:15:06

7am at Duxford and the tourists are on their way.

0:15:060:15:09

CHEERING

0:15:090:15:11

Really excited because we'll be learning new things. I'm so excited!

0:15:110:15:15

In the meantime, Katie and Naveed meet to talk tactics.

0:15:150:15:18

-I've learned so much.

-Oh, have you now?

-Yeah. You know what?

0:15:180:15:21

I listened last night and there wasn't much coming from your room.

0:15:210:15:24

I don't think so.

0:15:240:15:25

I'm pretty sure I heard you snoring while we were working really,

0:15:250:15:28

really hard, making all our props and everything.

0:15:280:15:30

Ours is actually going to be fun and not boring like a teacher.

0:15:300:15:33

Those kids are going to learn because me and John are the perfect team.

0:15:330:15:37

-Really?

-Well, watch out, McGlynn.

0:15:370:15:40

Yeah, good luck with that(!)

0:15:400:15:41

What is for certain though is that our tourists have no idea

0:15:410:15:44

what they are going to see nor who their tour guides are.

0:15:440:15:47

Time to surprise some tourists.

0:15:470:15:49

Watch out, tourists! It's Jedward!

0:15:500:15:53

SCREAMING

0:15:530:15:55

-Open the bus.

-I had no clue it would be Jedward. It was amazing.

0:15:580:16:01

When they just come through, it was brilliant!

0:16:010:16:04

-Are you excited about the day? ALL:

-Yeah!

0:16:040:16:06

John'll be teaching you facts, I'll be teaching you facts

0:16:060:16:09

and by the end of the day you guys will take a test.

0:16:090:16:11

-You guys excited?

-Yes, a test(!)

0:16:110:16:12

I'm really not sure that I'll learn anything today.

0:16:120:16:15

I'm going to be on one team and Ed's going to be on one team,

0:16:150:16:17

so we're going to need extra help, OK.

0:16:170:16:19

Make some noise for Naveed Choudhry and Katie McGlynn of Waterloo Road.

0:16:190:16:24

-CHEERING NAVEED:

-High-five!

0:16:240:16:27

Amazing.

0:16:270:16:28

Don't be so starstruck, OK, they'll give you autographs later, OK?

0:16:280:16:32

Get over there and do this. Let's go, everyone run. Yes!

0:16:320:16:36

We're, like, in a running race.

0:16:360:16:37

It's time to start the tours and find out which team will be

0:16:380:16:41

flying high and which team are heading for a bumpy landing.

0:16:410:16:45

First up, it's John and Naveed. Nice outfit, John(!)

0:16:450:16:48

-Are you scared?

-No.

0:16:480:16:50

-I'm not scared!

-I've got the clever twin!

0:16:500:16:52

-Who's that?

-You.

0:16:520:16:54

I know, I'm as clever... Yeah, oh, me, OK.

0:16:540:16:56

-Are you confident with your facts?

-Yeah, of course I am!

0:16:560:16:58

I have total faith in you, you've got total faith in me.

0:16:580:17:01

I'm John, you're Naveed, and together we are Javeed! Whoo! Yeah!

0:17:010:17:06

Yeah, they're very confident

0:17:060:17:08

but will they remember their facts from yesterday?

0:17:080:17:11

I don't think Jedward know anything about the Battle of Britain.

0:17:110:17:14

Naveed's going to tell you about the war, tell 'em, Naveed.

0:17:140:17:17

In the 1940s Hitler had taken over France

0:17:170:17:19

and now he wanted to do the same to Britain,

0:17:190:17:21

but what he had to do was he had to take over the skies.

0:17:210:17:23

The German Air Force was called the Luftwaffe

0:17:230:17:26

and they had loads more planes than the RAF,

0:17:260:17:28

but the RAF had the best pilots in the world,

0:17:280:17:31

so in the end they overcome...

0:17:310:17:33

With the help of the Spitfire and the Hurricane plane,

0:17:330:17:35

they took over the Luftwaffe and won the Battle of Britain.

0:17:350:17:38

-ALL:

-Yeah!

0:17:380:17:40

Guys, I've got a question to ask you, OK? Who wants to fly a Spitfire?

0:17:400:17:45

-ALL:

-Me!

0:17:450:17:46

All right, let's do this. You ready for this?

0:17:460:17:48

-What, like, really fly it?

-Yeah, I'm flying this, I'm a professional.

0:17:480:17:51

-I've got this, I'm a pilot. Let's do this.

-Don't do this to me, mate!

0:17:510:17:54

-Just got to twist to this.

-I didn't sign up for this, John!

0:17:540:17:57

I'm being serious, John!

0:17:570:17:58

ENGINE STARTS TO PURR

0:17:580:18:01

Here I go. I'm flying it. Yep, here we go.

0:18:010:18:04

I'm flying it all over the place. CHILDREN LAUGH

0:18:040:18:07

Whoo!

0:18:070:18:09

I'm the best flyer ever!

0:18:090:18:11

Yep, there I go. Amazing.

0:18:110:18:14

I could fly Spitfires all day.

0:18:140:18:16

You had me going there for a minute, John.

0:18:160:18:18

Naveed, you were totally freaking out.

0:18:180:18:20

You've got to always have faith in me, OK?

0:18:200:18:22

-I would never put you in danger, ever.

-Sir, yes, Sir!

0:18:220:18:25

Pretty good attempt at the story of the Battle of Britain there, boys,

0:18:250:18:28

but will it be enough to get you the points you need?

0:18:280:18:31

Now for Katie and Edward on the Blitz, but where are they?

0:18:310:18:34

Oh, yeah, there they are.

0:18:340:18:36

-Do you know what the Blitz was?

-ALL:

-No.

0:18:360:18:38

The Blitz in German means "lightning"

0:18:380:18:41

and it was this whole event where the Germans bombed all of the UK

0:18:410:18:44

and it was to dampen the spirits of all the people in the UK.

0:18:440:18:47

If they saw bombs coming down, they got inside these and a siren

0:18:470:18:50

would go off and it was a warning for everybody to get inside.

0:18:500:18:53

Well, Edward's certainly packing the facts in

0:18:530:18:55

but remember to breathe, Edward!

0:18:550:18:56

Maybe when you were outside... When you got inside one day your house

0:18:560:18:59

might be all rubble, so when you were in here you were totally safe.

0:18:590:19:02

At last.

0:19:020:19:03

They used to sing songs. These songs are from the time of the war.

0:19:030:19:07

They weren't Jedward songs at the time cos Jedward

0:19:070:19:09

weren't out at that time.

0:19:090:19:11

Hit it!

0:19:110:19:12

So, a medley of wartime songs.

0:19:140:19:16

Oh, Edward's resorted to mime.

0:19:180:19:20

This is going to be lovely(!)

0:19:220:19:23

-In your own time.

-We don't know the words to the song.

0:19:250:19:28

Yeah, those will be the words in front of you, Edward(!)

0:19:280:19:31

Oh, dear. Probably for the best. Let's see if this one is any better.

0:19:310:19:37

# You are my sunshine

0:19:380:19:41

# My only sunshine... #

0:19:410:19:43

No.

0:19:430:19:44

Naveed, what's going on down there?

0:19:440:19:46

I don't know, it sounds like cats screaming.

0:19:460:19:48

It sounds really bad, that's all I can say.

0:19:480:19:50

Come on, Naveed, let's get out of here.

0:19:500:19:51

That's not sunshine, that is rain.

0:19:510:19:54

OK, ready for the big finish. Eyes and teeth, jazz hands at the ready!

0:19:540:19:58

Cool.

0:19:580:19:59

Next up, it's the bouncing bomb story.

0:20:000:20:02

I am Sergeant John and this is soldier Naveed.

0:20:020:20:06

We're going to demonstrate what the Lancaster bomber used to do.

0:20:060:20:10

-What's it going to let out? ALL:

-Bouncing Bomb.

0:20:100:20:13

And who was it designed by? Barnes Wallis.

0:20:130:20:16

In three, two, one... Go!

0:20:160:20:18

I didn't really know that much about Lancaster bombers until now.

0:20:280:20:32

Bombers, come on.

0:20:320:20:33

They are quite good at accents,

0:20:380:20:39

so they were kind of doing good German accents.

0:20:390:20:42

Well done, pilots. Right on target.

0:20:530:20:55

But will it help you remember the facts or will John and Naveed

0:20:550:20:58

be crash-landing after you take the big test?

0:20:580:21:01

For the next tour with the help of some experts,

0:21:020:21:05

Edward and Katie have reconstructed a mock-up ops room.

0:21:050:21:07

Let's see if they can explain what's going on.

0:21:070:21:10

Everybody stop what they're doing, Edward has to talk.

0:21:100:21:13

-PHONE RINGS

-Will someone get that?

0:21:130:21:16

Who's calling?

0:21:160:21:17

That's the dispersal, they want to know if it's scramble.

0:21:170:21:19

Oh, no. Things have not got off to a good start.

0:21:190:21:22

-Edward is starting to look confused already.

-OK.

0:21:220:21:24

That's going to be 610 Squadron.

0:21:240:21:27

You are probably wondering what these people are doing.

0:21:270:21:29

This is Nigel and Jude, OK? They are working the operations room.

0:21:290:21:33

-This is like a radar.

-Actually, Edward, it's an ops table.

0:21:330:21:36

-They got the information from telephone.

-No, they didn't.

0:21:360:21:39

And no matter what happened... I don't know what I'm doing!

0:21:390:21:41

Yep, that's obvious!

0:21:410:21:43

In the operations room, when you heard scramble, that means...

0:21:430:21:46

We all have to stop what we're doing, run over there and then me and

0:21:460:21:49

Edward both have to get these clothes on, you've got to help us, right?

0:21:490:21:52

-Are you ready? Are you excited? ALL:

-Yeah.

0:21:520:21:55

Good.

0:21:550:21:56

-Did you say something?

-Immediate scramble?

0:21:560:21:58

-Ready? Go!

-Scramble!

0:21:580:22:02

So, a pretty shambolic job of explaining the ops room

0:22:020:22:04

to the tourists from Katie and Edward there.

0:22:040:22:06

That could cost you points when they are tested later, guys!

0:22:060:22:10

They're off! First into the pilot's gear and to the flag wins.

0:22:180:22:21

It looks like it's going to be... It's Edward, he's done it!

0:22:210:22:25

-The winner!

-Oh, no!

0:22:250:22:28

So, Edward can beat Katie but can they both beat Team Javeed

0:22:280:22:32

or will they be sampling the comforts

0:22:320:22:34

of that scary air-raid shelter?

0:22:340:22:36

Ooooh!

0:22:360:22:39

Next with story of wartime spies it's Choudhry, Naveed Choudhry,

0:22:390:22:43

but will he remember what SOE stands for and who formed it?

0:22:430:22:47

-Welcome to the Special Operations Executive.

-Good start.

0:22:470:22:51

Formed in July 1940 by the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, himself.

0:22:510:22:57

-Well done.

-The SOE...

-Shouldn't John be hearing this? Where is he?

0:22:570:23:02

I can't see him anywhere! Maybe we should ask that guy with the paper.

0:23:020:23:07

Excuse me?

0:23:090:23:10

Whoa! What a brilliant disguise!

0:23:110:23:14

Busted! Abort! Abort!

0:23:150:23:17

Mission semi-accomplished.

0:23:180:23:21

It's time for the last stop on the tour and pretty soon

0:23:210:23:25

either John or Edward will be flying high in a World War II plane.

0:23:250:23:29

To make sure it's Edward and not John in that plane,

0:23:290:23:31

Edward and Katie need to remember the name of that American aircraft.

0:23:310:23:35

-It's called Sally B and it's a B-17.

-Very good.

0:23:350:23:38

-What is it?

-ALL:

-B-17.

0:23:380:23:41

And why is it called Sally B? I don't know, OK?

0:23:410:23:44

Anyway, if I had a plane I'd call it Edward G. What would you call yours?

0:23:440:23:47

Katie M.

0:23:470:23:48

This is an American plane and it has guns,

0:23:480:23:50

it has bombs underneath there.

0:23:500:23:52

Not only were Britain, like, totally rocking it in the World War II

0:23:520:23:55

but they also had allies of America

0:23:550:23:57

so they came together to help each other.

0:23:570:23:59

They introduced new things to the UK cos the Americans introduced

0:23:590:24:02

really cool dance moves and it was called the Jitterbug.

0:24:020:24:05

It wasn't about a bug, it was actually dance moves

0:24:050:24:07

and we are going to demonstrate them to you.

0:24:070:24:10

Seven! I know, wrong show, I've just always wanted to do that!

0:24:110:24:15

That's it - left leg in, right leg out. Yep, well done.

0:24:150:24:20

Yeah.

0:24:200:24:21

Oh, they're all at it now!

0:24:210:24:23

Well done, tourists, you've got the idea, that's it.

0:24:230:24:26

Ha-ha, Edward and Katie bringing today's tour to an end

in stylish fashion there.

0:24:330:24:35

Nice moves, guys!

0:24:350:24:36

But did they get enough facts across

0:24:390:24:41

and how many will the tourists remember,

0:24:410:24:43

or did Team Javeed do a better job?

0:24:430:24:45

Lancaster... Bouncing bomb.

0:24:450:24:47

Time to find out as the tourists take...the big test!

0:24:470:24:52

They're being asked two questions on each of the stories.

0:24:520:24:55

For each correct answer there's a point in it for the team

0:24:550:24:58

that told that story.

0:24:580:24:59

The team with most points will win!

0:25:000:25:02

"What sort of plane is a Sally B?"

0:25:020:25:05

I think we taught the kids a lot of interesting facts,

0:25:050:25:07

I think we should go and write a history book.

0:25:070:25:09

-We should and then make it into a song!

-Songs are always good.

0:25:090:25:13

Eh, not always, Edward. Remember this? We do.

0:25:130:25:17

Cos the Americans went, "Scram!" Didn't they? D'you remember that?

0:25:170:25:20

-What's a scram...?

-Scramble. Is it scramble?

-Scramble, yeah.

0:25:200:25:23

We learnt loads of stuff about planes.

0:25:230:25:25

We know a lot about World War II and we hope the kids learnt as much.

0:25:250:25:29

-Something Wallis.

-Barnes Wallis. Yeah, Barnes Wallis.

0:25:290:25:33

Yeah, we're going to win. Seriously, we were amazing.

0:25:330:25:36

-Winston Churchill himself.

-What was it like being with me?

0:25:360:25:39

-It was very enjoyable.

-Yeah?

-It had its ups and downs but more ups.

0:25:390:25:42

Ups and downs for sure, Naveed.

0:25:420:25:44

But will John be up in that plane or will you both be down in that

0:25:440:25:48

dingy air-raid shelter? It's the moment of truth.

0:25:480:25:51

After winning the Thames show, John is leading 1-0.

0:25:510:25:55

Nigel and Julie are back with the scores.

0:25:550:25:56

Well, it's time to find out who's won today's episode

0:25:560:25:59

of Jedward's Big Adventure, learning all about World War II.

0:25:590:26:03

It's going to be us.

0:26:030:26:05

-There we go.

-Right, we have the results here.

0:26:050:26:10

Now...

0:26:110:26:12

Edward's squadron has accumulated...

0:26:130:26:17

29 points. HE GASPS

0:26:170:26:19

Yes! Is that good or bad?

0:26:190:26:21

We'll find out very shortly.

0:26:210:26:24

John's squadron has accumulated...

0:26:240:26:28

35 points.

0:26:280:26:29

THEY CHEER

0:26:290:26:31

Yes! Yes!

0:26:310:26:33

Go, Team Javeed! Yes!

0:26:330:26:34

Yes! Whoo!

0:26:340:26:37

OK, guys. John, I'm really happy for you.

0:26:370:26:40

I don't want to go to the dingy air-raid shelter.

0:26:400:26:43

Well done, Team Javeed. Cue chest bump!

0:26:430:26:46

I'm so excited, OK. I get to fly a World War II plane.

0:26:460:26:49

Put the headphones on, I know my hair's going to get ruined.

0:26:490:26:53

Yes!

0:26:530:26:54

It's cold and it's dark and there's loads of spiders!

0:26:540:26:58

I want to be in the World War II plane!

0:26:580:27:00

Go right up into the sky, fly around, it's going to be amazing!

0:27:010:27:05

I'm really, really excited. I can't wait.

0:27:050:27:07

I'm going to be up there flying like a bird, flying like an eagle,

0:27:070:27:10

flying like...a paper aeroplane.

0:27:100:27:13

-SQUEAKING

-You farted!

0:27:160:27:18

I didn't fart, you did,

0:27:180:27:20

but it doesn't matter cos we've got gas masks on, idiot!

0:27:200:27:23

I feel amazing that I won the prize. So cool!

0:27:250:27:29

-BURP!

-Oh, I just burped.

0:27:310:27:34

Oh, no, that's inside your gas mask!

0:27:340:27:38

Aah!

0:27:430:27:44

So scary, exciting, amazing, all at the same time. Best prize ever.

0:27:500:27:55

Now all I've got to see is if my hair lasted under the helmet.

0:27:570:28:01

Let's see it.

0:28:010:28:02

Yep, it's there.
