0:01:02 > 0:01:04# This is Jedward's Big Adventure! #

0:01:07 > 0:01:10The Orkney Islands, off the coast of northern Scotland.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12They may be small, they may be freezing,

0:01:12 > 0:01:15but they're jam-packed with ancient history.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18The Vikings have been here,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20the ancient Celts have been here

0:01:20 > 0:01:22and Neolithic Man has been here.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24And, for two fun-packed days,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26JEDWARD are here!

0:01:27 > 0:01:30We're here, Edward!

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Orkney!

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Land of the Orks!

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Orks?! What Orks?

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Orks? This isn't Lord of the Rings!

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- It's our mission.- See what it says.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43"Dear Jedward, welcome to Orkney.

0:01:43 > 0:01:49"In just 24 hours' time, you will each have to give a group of tourists a guided tour around the island.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51"The winner gets their own firelit beach party,

0:01:51 > 0:01:54"whilst the loser endures a traditional Orkney ceremony,

0:01:54 > 0:01:56"where they're soaked in treacle

0:01:56 > 0:02:00"and bombarded by corn flakes and flour."

0:02:03 > 0:02:04This is crazy!

0:02:04 > 0:02:05- Eurgh!- Oh, I don't want that.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08- I think we're going to need help. - You're right, Edward.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Hey, look over there!

0:02:10 > 0:02:13It's Barney Harwood and Sonali Shah! Guys, get over here!

0:02:13 > 0:02:14We need your help!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Barney, Sonali, come on!

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Hello.- What do you guys know about Orkney?

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I think it's close to the North Pole. It's freezing.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- What do YOU know? - I know there are no Orks here.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30From what you guys have told us, I think we need find out more information about Orkney

0:02:30 > 0:02:35from the experts. So you guys relax while we go get the facts! Come on, let's get out of here! Grrrrr!

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Oh, dear!

0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Worried? - I'm a little nervous, yeah.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Yes, Barney, I think you need to be.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48So Barney will be helping John and Sonali will be on Team Edward.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Each team will be given three stories

0:02:50 > 0:02:53which the tourists will be tested on.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54WIND BLASTS

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Really windy.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Very, very windy.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01And I don't mean to pile on the pressure, Sonali,

0:03:01 > 0:03:03but Edward really needs your help,

0:03:03 > 0:03:06as he's currently losing the series 4-0 to John

0:03:06 > 0:03:09and this is his last chance to redeem himself.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Will it be success at last for Edward?

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Well, he'd better listen carefully to our first expert, Lisa.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Hello, Lisa!

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Lisa's going to tell them all about the ancient burial tomb, Maeshowe.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Boys, come on. We go through a long passageway.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Watch your hair!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Wow, this is so low!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Oh, it's amazing.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34I did not expect this.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Maeshowe is a massive chamber tomb,

0:03:37 > 0:03:41probably used for the communal burial of local people.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Neolithic Orcadians removed the flesh from the bones

0:03:44 > 0:03:47and arranged them in cells within the tomb.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50The living could access them perhaps at certain times of the year,

0:03:50 > 0:03:54when they gathered to remember their ancestors.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Dead bodies were dealt with very differently long ago.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01They laid them out and animals and birds were able to de-flesh them,

0:04:01 > 0:04:05as it was only dry bones that they took into here.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- And these were put right into the chambers.- Ohhh!

0:04:09 > 0:04:13- So sick.- You're saying that bones were buried here, not actual bodies?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15It was just the bones they took into here.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17This passageway is built

0:04:17 > 0:04:20so that as the sun sets on the shortest day of the year,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22round about 21st December,

0:04:22 > 0:04:25when the light comes in here, it glows an orange colour.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28But think about how magical that must have been.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Lisa has a second story to tell the boys.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33We have what's called runic writing on the walls.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Wow!- These are Viking doodles,

0:04:35 > 0:04:39and this Viking is saying he is carving with an axe

0:04:39 > 0:04:42and he's a very skilled writer of runes.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45These look like little trees, don't they?

0:04:45 > 0:04:47How to find out what these letters are,

0:04:47 > 0:04:49you count the branches on the one side

0:04:49 > 0:04:52to find out which part of the alphabet to refer to,

0:04:52 > 0:04:56then you count the branches on the other side for the specific letter.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58So it's basic code-breaking.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm not going to be using the basic alphabet any more,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'm going to be using this amazing runic writing.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Well, let's hope you won't be speaking in code

0:05:05 > 0:05:08when you show the tourists around tomorrow, John.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09You won't want to lose

0:05:09 > 0:05:11and face a horrible Orkney tradition

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- which we'll reveal later. - HE LAUGHS EVILLY

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Yeah, it's horrible.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Better keep listening carefully then, boys.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Here's the next expert, Fiona. Hello!

0:05:24 > 0:05:28She's braved the wind to meet you at Orkney's most famous landmark.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- What is this place? - This place is Scara Brae.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Is it some sort of town?- It is, it's lots of houses. It's a village.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Scara Brae was first discovered after a storm event in 1850.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44It shows us what life was like in a Neolithic village.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Stone Age families lived there over 5,000 years ago,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51and for centuries these people enjoyed a good life of farming,

0:05:51 > 0:05:54hunting, fishing and making jewellery and pottery.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- At the time would it have been this windy?- Very much so, Edward.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- How did they go to toilet? - They do have a drainage system

0:06:04 > 0:06:08and there's little side drains that go off into corner bits that might be toilets.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12Wait a second, I thought the Romans started the whole toilet thing.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Oh, they're just the new boys. This is how far down it goes.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Whoa!

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- So it shows you that they were thinking and planning.- Back then,

0:06:21 > 0:06:24were people very small, like Oompa Loompas?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27No, they were about my height,

0:06:27 > 0:06:30but if you look at the entrance, that is really low,

0:06:30 > 0:06:33so people had to get down like this.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Once they got in the house they could stand up straight.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Fiona, where's John?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Waaaaaahhhh!

0:06:40 > 0:06:45Fiona, you told us lots of interesting facts. What can you remember, Edward?

0:06:45 > 0:06:47I can't remember anything.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Oh, dear! It's not looking good for Edward. Come on, Edward,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52you need to win this time!

0:06:52 > 0:06:57- Edward, where are we?- We're here in a field with really big rocks.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Let's see if he'll listen more carefully to the next expert, Amy.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04Here she is!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07I'm going to introduce you to this beautiful landscape,

0:07:07 > 0:07:10one of the most important archaeological landscapes in Scotland,

0:07:10 > 0:07:11if not the world.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Amazing!

0:07:16 > 0:07:19The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic stone circle.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22No-one knows for sure how old it is,

0:07:22 > 0:07:26but a good guess suggests somewhere around 2500-2000BC.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28The stones, along with the massive ditch

0:07:28 > 0:07:32would have taken a lot of people to quarry and build.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Around it are at least 13 prehistoric burial mounds,

0:07:34 > 0:07:36which suggests that this was a very special place

0:07:36 > 0:07:39for the prehistoric inhabitants of Orkney.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42For an awful long time, hundreds of years, probably,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45stones were added or taken away or moved around,

0:07:45 > 0:07:48and so we think probably about 60 stones altogether

0:07:48 > 0:07:50may have been here at one stage.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52My favourite story about these stones

0:07:52 > 0:07:58is these were a group of giants and they were dancing through the night, getting carried away with the music.

0:07:58 > 0:07:59They didn't realise the sun was coming up

0:07:59 > 0:08:02and the sun turned them all to stone.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Why do you think this place was built?- There's good evidence to suggest

0:08:05 > 0:08:10that this monument is to do with communicating with the ancestors, with the dead.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Whooo! Spooky!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Do you think me and Edward's hair resembles the stones?

0:08:15 > 0:08:20I'm so impressed. I thought it would be at an angle today. It's so windy.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Come on, Amy, let's get out of here before our hair gets ruined.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Jedward, a bad hair day? Never!

0:08:27 > 0:08:31So the boys are more than halfway through their first day in Orkney

0:08:31 > 0:08:36and so far they've learned all about Neolithic life and death at Scara Brae and Maeshowe,

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Viking graffiti, or runes,

0:08:39 > 0:08:41and the ancient Ring of Brodgar.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45But will they remember it all in time for their tour tomorrow,

0:08:45 > 0:08:48or will those facts be gone with the wind?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Time will tell, but first they have more to investigate.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Next up, it's the Broch of Gurness

0:08:54 > 0:08:56and with all the facts, it's Josie.

0:08:56 > 0:08:57She knows it!

0:08:57 > 0:09:00This is the Iron Age Broch of Gurness.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Bro...- Broch.- Bro...- Broch!

0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Gurner. - Gurness!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Garness. - Gurness!

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Broch of Garness. - Broch of GURNESS!

0:09:09 > 0:09:11OK, great, OK.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Glad we got that clear!

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Brochs are unique to Scotland.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19The Broch of Gurness is thought to be a defensive tower

0:09:19 > 0:09:22that was surrounded by an Iron Age settlement

0:09:22 > 0:09:24built somewhere between 500-200BC.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28The Broch would have been home to a wealthy and powerful chieftain.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31The Vikings reused the site for a burial in the 9th century.

0:09:31 > 0:09:32Let's go see it!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Run!

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Lead the way! Come on, Josie!

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Hurry up, you three, it looks so cold!

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Here we are, boys.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41- Whoa!- Whoa!

0:09:41 > 0:09:44This is actually where it all happens!

0:09:44 > 0:09:47Josie, what can you tell us about this building?

0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Do you know what this is?- Is it a foot spa that you put your feet in

0:09:51 > 0:09:53and you sit like this and someone cleans your feet?

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Could've been a spa, but one of the most exciting things it could be

0:09:57 > 0:10:00is they would heat a hot stone in the fire,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02and then they would put it in the cold water,

0:10:02 > 0:10:06and poach their fish or cook their meat.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08There would have been two floors

0:10:08 > 0:10:10and there'd be steps up here.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Josie, what is this?

0:10:11 > 0:10:14This is the mysterious well.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17- What if it was a dungeon?- It could've been, for all we know.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19What if they locked me and John in there?

0:10:19 > 0:10:20That's an idea!

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Yeah, it's tempting!

0:10:22 > 0:10:24But we're not allowed to.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27And who'd guide the tourists around tomorrow?

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, time's up at the Broch of Gurness.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31The day is drawing to a close,

0:10:31 > 0:10:35but the boys have time for one more stop on their tour of Orkney.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38And here are their next experts.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Oh, Vikings! Hello...

0:10:41 > 0:10:45This time they've headed for the beach and... Oh, um...

0:10:45 > 0:10:48they seem to have grown some moustaches for the occasion.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Don't ask why. Your guess is as good as mine.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Blimey, what's going on?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Are you guys Vikings?

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- We are Vikings! - Why did the Vikings come to Orkney?

0:10:59 > 0:11:03To control the trade routes, to control the shipping

0:11:03 > 0:11:06and to make lots and lots of lovely silver!

0:11:07 > 0:11:12According to surveys, Vikings were raiding Orkney in the 11th century,

0:11:12 > 0:11:14though it is not known when they first settled in Orkney.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18We know the Vikings were raiding monastic sites elsewhere in Britain

0:11:18 > 0:11:21as late as the 8th century, because monks recorded these attacks.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23As Orkney is close to Scandinavia,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26it is likely they were present here at this time too.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28In the 13th century, Orkney was part of Norway

0:11:28 > 0:11:32and many of today's Orcadians are descendants of the Vikings.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36And what type of tactics did you guys use to take over countries?

0:11:36 > 0:11:39We introduced close-packed formations,

0:11:39 > 0:11:41where shields were interlocked.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Hit the shields! - Run into the shield!

0:11:46 > 0:11:48GRUNTING

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh, that was pathetic, boys.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Now, every good Viking needed a good Viking wife.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55You're showing us stuff they would have done back then.

0:11:55 > 0:12:00I would cook and run the household and I would organise the farm.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02At the moment, I'm doing some tablet reading.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Could women fight if they wanted to? - They wouldn't fight in the battles,

0:12:06 > 0:12:09but I can handle a sword and a bow if I have to.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10That's amazing.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15Watch out, boys. Go and learn those facts or she'll be after you!

0:12:16 > 0:12:17End of day one at Orkney.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21The winner tomorrow will get a bonfire party on the beach

0:12:21 > 0:12:25and the loser will face an unpleasant Orcadian tradition

0:12:25 > 0:12:30which involves being covered in treacle, flour and...corn flakes?!

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Oh, no...!

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Yeah, sticky.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Can Edward finally avoid this fate?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40I can't remember anything.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42You'd better try, Edward,

0:12:42 > 0:12:43because it's getting dark.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Time to head back to Jedward HQ to catch up with their team-mates

0:12:47 > 0:12:49and prepare for tomorrow's tour.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53And for some reason they're all talking about soup.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Moso...

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Me.. Meso...

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Meso.- Miso soup? - No, it wasn't miso soup.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01That's what I thought when she told me.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03The bora something...

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- The bo...- It's like a soup?

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- It's a broth.- Bro...

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, dear.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12So we're doing something about Vikings.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16I'll have to remember stuff I learned at school cos you haven't told me that much.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Wanna jump on the bed?

0:13:18 > 0:13:23That's what they did back then - they went to Maeshowe, got loads of crazy bones, threw them in.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25We've got to explain what it was like back then.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- So that's a coffin? - No, this is a box.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Are we going to win this? - Yes, we are!- High-five!

0:13:32 > 0:13:36Hm... Less jumping no the bed and more sleeping IN the bed, teams,

0:13:36 > 0:13:39I think, if you want to give good tours tomorrow.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41COCK CROWS

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Morning! And it's a cold one.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Our would-be tour guides are complaining already.

0:13:46 > 0:13:51So we're here and John's heating himself up with the heater.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55Guys, you don't realise how cold it is here. It's like Antarctica.

0:13:55 > 0:13:597am, and the puzzled tourists are on their way.

0:13:59 > 0:14:04I'm really excited and I hope today's going to be fun, cos I don't know what's going to happen.

0:14:04 > 0:14:10I'd like my tour guide to be young and nice and funny.

0:14:10 > 0:14:15If our tour guide is like a teacher, I'll be really annoyed because it'll be really boring.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16I agree.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Good. That's settled then.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20They need to be young and not boring.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24Well, we can't promise you the world's best tour guides,

0:14:24 > 0:14:26but they are young

0:14:26 > 0:14:27and they're definitely not boring.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Who'd have thought an ancient burial mound

0:14:30 > 0:14:33- would make such a good hiding place?- Get your hair down!

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Hair down! Big giveaway.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38"Nervous" would be a good word this morning.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42Edward just wanted to jump on the bed, which is great fun,

0:14:42 > 0:14:45but not great prep for being a tour guide.

0:14:45 > 0:14:50I know, so far, that there's lots of stones, there's lots of wind

0:14:50 > 0:14:53and, um, there was a skull here in history at some point.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56And so I think they're going to go away knowing loads.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57You reckon?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I don't know anything.

0:14:59 > 0:15:04Oh, dear. Oh, well, time to run down a big hill!

0:15:04 > 0:15:07THEY YELL AND WHOOP

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Mind you don't fall...

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Too late.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Hi, guys!

0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'm John, he's Edward.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Together we are... - ALL: Jedward!

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Did you like our entrance? We totally fell!

0:15:19 > 0:15:21THEY LAUGH

0:15:21 > 0:15:23We need a celebrity guest,

0:15:23 > 0:15:26so give it up for Barney Harwood and Sonali Shah!

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Such an elegant entrance!

0:15:29 > 0:15:34She's Sonali and I'm Edward, and together we are Ednali!

0:15:34 > 0:15:38I'm John, that's Barney, and together we are Jarney!

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Are you guys ready to go on a tour or Orkney?

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- ALL: Yeah! - Right, let's get outta here!

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'm really, really excited

0:15:46 > 0:15:50that Jedward are our tour guides. It's going to be an awesome day.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54It was really exciting when they ran down the mountain so we knew who it was.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58It's Team Jarney up first, with the story of Maeshowe.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01All right, guys, OK. Maeshowe is an ancient burial mound

0:16:01 > 0:16:06cos it was built to bury old, dead boned bodies.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09- No, that's wrong. - Yes, it is. Try again.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Because they wanted to build...

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Oh, get it together!

0:16:15 > 0:16:20Because they wanted to bury dead bodies here at this burial mound.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23No, bones! Just bones, John!

0:16:23 > 0:16:25- That's right. - No, it's NOT!

0:16:25 > 0:16:29Me and Barney are going to demonstrate a Neolithic funeral.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35Back then they did not just bury the dead bodies,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38they used to rip off all the flesh off the bodies,

0:16:38 > 0:16:42resulting in crazy...eurgh!

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Uncle Jim's dead flesh.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47They didn't rip the flesh off, they left the bodies for the birds.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51They put the dead bodies in the tomb and said their goodbyes.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Who wants to go inside? - Me!- Me!

0:16:55 > 0:16:59These are the burial chambers, where the people used to pay tribute to their ancestors.

0:16:59 > 0:17:05The passage we came down is set out to face the sunset on the shortest day of the year.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Who wants to recreate that special moment on the shortest day of the year?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10ALL: Yeah!

0:17:10 > 0:17:14OK, this is the mirror, and we're now going to angle it on the sun

0:17:14 > 0:17:17and reflect it all the way down the passage.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Is it a bird, is it a plane,

0:17:25 > 0:17:26is it a Neolithic man?

0:17:26 > 0:17:30No, it's a pair of bunny ears. Well, that's enough messing around.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Good effort there from John and Barney,

0:17:33 > 0:17:35but did they get the facts across to the tourists?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Or was it all just rabbit, rabbit, rabbit?

0:17:38 > 0:17:43We'll find out later on, but can Sonali and Edward get off to a good start, too?

0:17:43 > 0:17:47They're telling the story of Maeshowe's Viking graffiti.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50The Vikings came and they wanted to tell the rest of the world they were here.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53They signed their names here. You know the alphabet?

0:17:53 > 0:17:55ALL: Yeah. Want to sing it?

0:17:55 > 0:18:00# A, B, C, D, E, F... #

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Wrong alphabet, Edward!

0:18:02 > 0:18:05You're meant to be talking about the runic alphabet.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07At the time, they didn't have that alphabet.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Thank goodness!

0:18:09 > 0:18:11They had something that was called ruins.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13RUNES, man, RUNES!

0:18:13 > 0:18:17Get it right or it'll be your hope of winning that'll be in ruins!

0:18:17 > 0:18:20This type of ruin is called twig ruins.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22See the lines that look like trees?

0:18:22 > 0:18:27It's like text messages on stone walls, cos mobile phones weren't around then.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31They were writing about treasure, sometimes about girls, who was pretty, kind of thing.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35What would you write? I'd write, "Hey, this is Edward.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37"Here's my number, so call me maybe."

0:18:37 > 0:18:39THEY LAUGH

0:18:39 > 0:18:42We can't write on the walls, but let's still make a rune.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Who wants to make a rune? Let's go!

0:18:46 > 0:18:49What are they spelling? Um...

0:18:49 > 0:18:51"Team Edward to win"?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Oh, very clever.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56John and Barney may have something to say about that.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57They're next, at Scara Brae.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Welcome to Scara Brae,

0:18:59 > 0:19:01a Stone Age village from the Neolithic era,

0:19:01 > 0:19:04covered in sand for 5,000 years and discovered in 1850.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Please welcome a good friend of mine, John.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Me Stone Age man. No speak English!

0:19:12 > 0:19:13So I'm going to translate for him.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Oooh oooh! Waaaagh! Eaaaagh!

0:19:17 > 0:19:20So John, the Stone Age man, lived here with his family.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22What did you do for a living?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Moooo!- There's a cow there. - Baaaaa!

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- These are farmyard animals. - John's a farmer.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Ears. Jewellery?

0:19:29 > 0:19:31They also made jewellery here.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34HE GRUNTS AND STRAINS

0:19:34 > 0:19:36ALL LAUGH

0:19:36 > 0:19:41I think we're now talking about... He ate a lot of meat and it had certain consequences.

0:19:41 > 0:19:46I'm guessing. You might think the way John's playing this is daft.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48They were actually very intelligent.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51They had drainage systems before the Romans thought about it

0:19:51 > 0:19:53and the village they built lasted 600 years.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Want to go and see it? - ALL: Yeah!

0:19:56 > 0:20:00Aha! The story of Scara Brae told by John and Barney

0:20:00 > 0:20:02in their own unique way.

0:20:02 > 0:20:08- I really enjoyed the tour of Scara Brae.- I enjoyed John dressed up as a caveman. It was really funny.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11But was all the clowning around a distraction for the tourists?

0:20:14 > 0:20:19Will they remember all the facts about Scara Brae and life in a Neolithic village,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22or will the sight of John pretending to go to the toilet

0:20:22 > 0:20:24be all that lingers in their memory?

0:20:24 > 0:20:27HE GRUNTS AND FARTS

0:20:27 > 0:20:29For the tourists' sake, I hope not.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33We'll soon find out when they take the big test later.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36But for now, on with the tour.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Next stop for Edward and Sonali, it's the Ring of Brodgar.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- What are you wearing? - Are you sure about this?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Of course I'm sure! I've seen it in the movies.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Lord of the Rings! Gandalf!

0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm not sure he was a Neolithic priest. I'm not sure this is right.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Maybe they won't notice it's wrong.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Welcome to a sacred place...

0:20:57 > 0:21:01full of ancient stones.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Built... - THEY LAUGH

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Can I see that again, please?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Ha ha, love it!

0:21:07 > 0:21:08In your face!

0:21:08 > 0:21:10So, as you were saying?

0:21:10 > 0:21:15Built in Neolithic times, without the help of modern technology...

0:21:15 > 0:21:19MOBILE PHONE RINGS Yo, Mammy, what's up, yeah? Some place called Bognor.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21ALL LAUGH

0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Brodgar! The Ring of Brodgar! - Ring of Brodgar, Mammy.

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Give me that.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Hi, Mummy Jedward. Can he call you back?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31I want you guys to close your eyes,

0:21:31 > 0:21:35take yourselves back to a time that was calmer,

0:21:35 > 0:21:38- simpler, quieter. - HE BEATS DRUM

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Edward, what are you doing?!

0:21:40 > 0:21:45- LOUD CHANTING AND DRUMMING - You're going to wake the dead!

0:21:45 > 0:21:47That's what I'm trying to do, wake up the dead!

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Who wants to wake up the dead with me?

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- ALL: Yeah! - Let's all go for it.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55- Aya pacha! Aya pacha! - Aya pacha! Aya pacha!

0:21:55 > 0:21:59CHANTING AND DRUMMING

0:22:00 > 0:22:03We're going to wake the dead!

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Aya pacha! Aya... Sorry, I was enjoying that.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Trying to wake the dead is more fun than you'd think!

0:22:09 > 0:22:14Next, John and Barney are at the Broch of Gurness for a special edition of Iron Age Cribs.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Welcome! I am John and this is the Broch of Gurness,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20a place for a wealthy and powerful chieftain,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23- who goes by the name of... - MC Iron Age. How's it goin'?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25This is m'crib, yeah?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Massive!

0:22:28 > 0:22:31That is my hearth, yeah? That's where the fire was, yeah?

0:22:31 > 0:22:34We was there one night, yeah, thinkin' of names for bands

0:22:34 > 0:22:36and we were rolling stones

0:22:36 > 0:22:40and we thought, "Hey, that's a great name," and we came up with McFly.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42You've got an amazing roof!

0:22:42 > 0:22:45That's me skylight I had put in, yeah?

0:22:45 > 0:22:47That was, like, the first floor, yeah?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50This is where I cooked me fish, yeah? A well hot cooker, that.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54Also I built my own little village for my homies to live.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57You is well gonna love this. I had it made for me friends.

0:22:57 > 0:23:01They's on tour, yeah? That is all me houses and this is a street, yeah?

0:23:01 > 0:23:04I got to do a video call with me mate.

0:23:04 > 0:23:0650 Pence, he's my favourite rapper, yeah?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09- So if you could all get off my land?- Charming!

0:23:09 > 0:23:11We're off to the beach anyway!

0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Where's Edward?- At the start of the 9th century AD,

0:23:14 > 0:23:17there were some new visitors to this island.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- ROOOOAAARRRR! - What are you doing?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23I'm a Viking! Grrrr!

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I hate to break it to you when you've made such an effort,

0:23:26 > 0:23:30- but Vikings didn't have helmets with horns like this.- Oh.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33ROOOOAAAAARRR!

0:23:33 > 0:23:37I'm a blood-thirsty Viking and I'm here to take all your gold

0:23:37 > 0:23:40and take all your family and go back home!

0:23:40 > 0:23:41Ha ha ha!

0:23:41 > 0:23:43That's not quite how it went down.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46They were really violent when they first came here.

0:23:46 > 0:23:52Then they decided they really liked it here and decided to settle down and start families and stuff.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Hm, so no helmets, not always blood-thirsty. Let's try again.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57RRRRROOOOOAAAAAR!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'm a blood-thirsty Viking

0:23:59 > 0:24:04and I'm going to settle down and have families and have friends!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06That didn't sound very Viking-y.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11I thought I killed people and went crazy. I didn't know they were civilised.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14- They're kind of pathetic. - Who are you calling pathetic?!

0:24:14 > 0:24:16You, you bunch of softies!

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Softies?!

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Oops.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20Oh, crumbs!

0:24:20 > 0:24:23That'll teach you not to upset a Viking, Edward.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Loads of descendants of Vikings still live here

0:24:26 > 0:24:30and don't anger those descendants, cos they can run fast.

0:24:30 > 0:24:31AAAAAAARRRGH!

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Poor Edward.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, that's it. That's all the tours over

0:24:37 > 0:24:42and, as the sun sets on the Broch of Gurness, it's time for the tourists to take the big test.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48They'll be asked two questions on each of the stories.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51For each correct answer, there's a point for the team

0:24:51 > 0:24:55that told that story, and the team with the most points will win.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Did we get the facts across? - Yeah, we totally did!

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- We did this, OK? We did this! - I think...- We did this!

0:25:02 > 0:25:04You did an amazing job.

0:25:04 > 0:25:05I'm really proud of you.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Come in for a Jed-hug. Come here, come here. Bring it in.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oh, thank you.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14- Can you hear those waves?- I can. - Those waves are clapping for us right now

0:25:14 > 0:25:18- cos we did such a good job.- Do you think we won?- I think we won.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20So both teams are confident then,

0:25:20 > 0:25:23but are they right to be so sure of themselves?

0:25:23 > 0:25:26How much will they remember about Vikings?

0:25:26 > 0:25:27RRROOOAAAARRRR!

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Will they recall what Maeshowe was used for?

0:25:30 > 0:25:32These are the burial chambers.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35And how much will come back to them about Scara Brae?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37HE GRUNTS AND FARTS

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Not that bit, I hope.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42I really want Barney and John to win cos they're really funny.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45I really want Edward to win

0:25:45 > 0:25:48cos he made me laugh the most and they were really funny.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51I think they're both great and they're both good fun.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55So far, John has won every single show in the series,

0:25:55 > 0:25:58but can Edward finally stop it being a total whitewash

0:25:58 > 0:26:02and prove that he too has what it takes to be a tour guide?

0:26:02 > 0:26:04The sun has set

0:26:04 > 0:26:06and night has fallen on Orkney.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08No-one's going to bed

0:26:08 > 0:26:12until we find out who's won the final big adventure this series.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Amy is back with the all-important results.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18Go on, Amy, the suspense is killing me!

0:26:18 > 0:26:21So here we are at the end of Jedward's Big Adventure in Orkney.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23It's time to find out who are the winners
