The United Kingdom, land of hope and glory!

0:00:020:00:04

Who better to entrust with our nation's heritage than...

0:00:040:00:07

Jedward?!

0:00:070:00:08

Today, those two, with their hair,

0:00:080:00:10

are heading to one of the remotest parts of Britain.

0:00:100:00:14

We're on our way to Orkney and we can't wait to rock it.

0:00:140:00:16

Look out, Orkney! But who will be today's guest tour guide?

0:00:160:00:19

I can't remember anything.

0:00:190:00:21

And who will be blown off course?

0:00:210:00:24

-Edward, what are you doing?!

-HE CHANTS AND DRUMS

0:00:240:00:27

-What?

0:00:270:00:28

-Brock?

-Broch!

0:00:280:00:30

0:01:020:01:04

The Orkney Islands, off the coast of northern Scotland.

0:01:070:01:10

They may be small, they may be freezing,

0:01:100:01:12

but they're jam-packed with ancient history.

0:01:120:01:15

The Vikings have been here,

0:01:150:01:18

the ancient Celts have been here

0:01:180:01:20

and Neolithic Man has been here.

0:01:200:01:22

And, for two fun-packed days,

0:01:220:01:24

JEDWARD are here!

0:01:240:01:26

We're here, Edward!

0:01:270:01:30

Orkney!

0:01:300:01:31

Land of the Orks!

0:01:310:01:33

Orks?! What Orks?

0:01:330:01:36

Orks? This isn't Lord of the Rings!

0:01:360:01:37

-It's our mission.

-See what it says.

0:01:370:01:40

"Dear Jedward, welcome to Orkney.

0:01:400:01:43

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

0:01:430:01:49

"The winner gets their own firelit beach party,

0:01:490:01:51

"whilst the loser endures a traditional Orkney ceremony,

0:01:510:01:54

"where they're soaked in treacle

0:01:540:01:56

"and bombarded by corn flakes and flour."

0:01:560:02:00

This is crazy!

0:02:030:02:04

-Eurgh!

-Oh, I don't want that.

0:02:040:02:05

-I think we're going to need help.

-You're right, Edward.

0:02:060:02:08

Hey, look over there!

0:02:080:02:10

It's Barney Harwood and Sonali Shah! Guys, get over here!

0:02:100:02:13

We need your help!

0:02:130:02:14

Barney, Sonali, come on!

0:02:140:02:17

-Hello.

-What do you guys know about Orkney?

0:02:170:02:19

I think it's close to the North Pole. It's freezing.

0:02:190:02:22

-What do YOU know?

-I know there are no Orks here.

0:02:220:02:25

From what you guys have told us, I think we need find out more information about Orkney

0:02:250:02:30

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

0:02:300:02:35

Oh, dear!

0:02:350:02:36

-Worried?

-I'm a little nervous, yeah.

0:02:360:02:39

Yes, Barney, I think you need to be.

0:02:390:02:42

So Barney will be helping John and Sonali will be on Team Edward.

0:02:430:02:48

Each team will be given three stories

0:02:480:02:50

which the tourists will be tested on.

0:02:500:02:53

WIND BLASTS

0:02:530:02:54

Really windy.

0:02:540:02:57

Very, very windy.

0:02:570:02:58

And I don't mean to pile on the pressure, Sonali,

0:02:580:03:01

but Edward really needs your help,

0:03:010:03:03

as he's currently losing the series 4-0 to John

0:03:030:03:06

and this is his last chance to redeem himself.

0:03:060:03:09

Will it be success at last for Edward?

0:03:110:03:13

Well, he'd better listen carefully to our first expert, Lisa.

0:03:130:03:17

Hello, Lisa!

0:03:170:03:18

Lisa's going to tell them all about the ancient burial tomb, Maeshowe.

0:03:180:03:23

Boys, come on. We go through a long passageway.

0:03:230:03:26

Watch your hair!

0:03:260:03:27

Wow, this is so low!

0:03:280:03:30

Oh, it's amazing.

0:03:300:03:32

I did not expect this.

0:03:320:03:34

Maeshowe is a massive chamber tomb,

0:03:350:03:37

probably used for the communal burial of local people.

0:03:370:03:41

Neolithic Orcadians removed the flesh from the bones

0:03:410:03:44

and arranged them in cells within the tomb.

0:03:440:03:47

The living could access them perhaps at certain times of the year,

0:03:470:03:50

when they gathered to remember their ancestors.

0:03:500:03:54

Dead bodies were dealt with very differently long ago.

0:03:540:03:56

They laid them out and animals and birds were able to de-flesh them,

0:03:560:04:01

as it was only dry bones that they took into here.

0:04:010:04:05

-And these were put right into the chambers.

-Ohhh!

0:04:050:04:09

-So sick.

-You're saying that bones were buried here, not actual bodies?

0:04:090:04:13

It was just the bones they took into here.

0:04:130:04:15

This passageway is built

0:04:150:04:17

so that as the sun sets on the shortest day of the year,

0:04:170:04:20

round about 21st December,

0:04:200:04:22

when the light comes in here, it glows an orange colour.

0:04:220:04:25

But think about how magical that must have been.

0:04:250:04:28

Lisa has a second story to tell the boys.

0:04:280:04:30

We have what's called runic writing on the walls.

0:04:300:04:33

-Wow!

-These are Viking doodles,

0:04:330:04:35

and this Viking is saying he is carving with an axe

0:04:350:04:39

and he's a very skilled writer of runes.

0:04:390:04:42

These look like little trees, don't they?

0:04:420:04:45

How to find out what these letters are,

0:04:450:04:47

you count the branches on the one side

0:04:470:04:49

to find out which part of the alphabet to refer to,

0:04:490:04:52

then you count the branches on the other side for the specific letter.

0:04:520:04:56

So it's basic code-breaking.

0:04:560:04:58

I'm not going to be using the basic alphabet any more,

0:04:580:05:00

I'm going to be using this amazing runic writing.

0:05:000:05:03

Well, let's hope you won't be speaking in code

0:05:030:05:05

when you show the tourists around tomorrow, John.

0:05:050:05:08

You won't want to lose

0:05:080:05:09

and face a horrible Orkney tradition

0:05:090:05:11

-which we'll reveal later.

-HE LAUGHS EVILLY

0:05:110:05:14

Yeah, it's horrible.

0:05:150:05:17

Better keep listening carefully then, boys.

0:05:170:05:20

Here's the next expert, Fiona. Hello!

0:05:210:05:24

She's braved the wind to meet you at Orkney's most famous landmark.

0:05:240:05:28

-What is this place?

-This place is Scara Brae.

0:05:280:05:31

-Is it some sort of town?

-It is, it's lots of houses. It's a village.

0:05:310:05:35

Scara Brae was first discovered after a storm event in 1850.

0:05:370:05:41

It shows us what life was like in a Neolithic village.

0:05:410:05:44

Stone Age families lived there over 5,000 years ago,

0:05:440:05:48

and for centuries these people enjoyed a good life of farming,

0:05:480:05:51

hunting, fishing and making jewellery and pottery.

0:05:510:05:54

-At the time would it have been this windy?

-Very much so, Edward.

0:05:570:06:01

-How did they go to toilet?

-They do have a drainage system

0:06:010:06:04

and there's little side drains that go off into corner bits that might be toilets.

0:06:040:06:08

Wait a second, I thought the Romans started the whole toilet thing.

0:06:080:06:12

Oh, they're just the new boys. This is how far down it goes.

0:06:120:06:15

Whoa!

0:06:150:06:17

-So it shows you that they were thinking and planning.

-Back then,

0:06:170:06:21

were people very small, like Oompa Loompas?

0:06:210:06:24

No, they were about my height,

0:06:240:06:27

but if you look at the entrance, that is really low,

0:06:270:06:30

so people had to get down like this.

0:06:300:06:33

Once they got in the house they could stand up straight.

0:06:330:06:36

Fiona, where's John?

0:06:360:06:38

Waaaaaahhhh!

0:06:380:06:40

Fiona, you told us lots of interesting facts. What can you remember, Edward?

0:06:400:06:45

I can't remember anything.

0:06:450:06:47

Oh, dear! It's not looking good for Edward. Come on, Edward,

0:06:470:06:50

you need to win this time!

0:06:500:06:52

-Edward, where are we?

-We're here in a field with really big rocks.

0:06:520:06:57

Let's see if he'll listen more carefully to the next expert, Amy.

0:06:570:07:01

Here she is!

0:07:030:07:04

I'm going to introduce you to this beautiful landscape,

0:07:040:07:07

one of the most important archaeological landscapes in Scotland,

0:07:070:07:10

if not the world.

0:07:100:07:11

Amazing!

0:07:110:07:13

The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic stone circle.

0:07:160:07:19

No-one knows for sure how old it is,

0:07:190:07:22

but a good guess suggests somewhere around 2500-2000BC.

0:07:220:07:26

The stones, along with the massive ditch

0:07:260:07:28

would have taken a lot of people to quarry and build.

0:07:280:07:32

Around it are at least 13 prehistoric burial mounds,

0:07:320:07:34

which suggests that this was a very special place

0:07:340:07:36

for the prehistoric inhabitants of Orkney.

0:07:360:07:39

For an awful long time, hundreds of years, probably,

0:07:390:07:42

stones were added or taken away or moved around,

0:07:420:07:45

and so we think probably about 60 stones altogether

0:07:450:07:48

may have been here at one stage.

0:07:480:07:50

My favourite story about these stones

0:07:500:07:52

is these were a group of giants and they were dancing through the night, getting carried away with the music.

0:07:520:07:58

They didn't realise the sun was coming up

0:07:580:07:59

and the sun turned them all to stone.

0:07:590:08:02

-Why do you think this place was built?

-There's good evidence to suggest

0:08:020:08:05

that this monument is to do with communicating with the ancestors, with the dead.

0:08:050:08:10

Whooo! Spooky!

0:08:100:08:12

Do you think me and Edward's hair resembles the stones?

0:08:120:08:15

I'm so impressed. I thought it would be at an angle today. It's so windy.

0:08:150:08:20

Come on, Amy, let's get out of here before our hair gets ruined.

0:08:200:08:23

Jedward, a bad hair day? Never!

0:08:230:08:25

So the boys are more than halfway through their first day in Orkney

0:08:270:08:31

and so far they've learned all about Neolithic life and death at Scara Brae and Maeshowe,

0:08:310:08:36

Viking graffiti, or runes,

0:08:360:08:39

and the ancient Ring of Brodgar.

0:08:390:08:41

But will they remember it all in time for their tour tomorrow,

0:08:410:08:45

or will those facts be gone with the wind?

0:08:450:08:48

Time will tell, but first they have more to investigate.

0:08:480:08:51

Next up, it's the Broch of Gurness

0:08:510:08:54

and with all the facts, it's Josie.

0:08:540:08:56

She knows it!

0:08:560:08:57

This is the Iron Age Broch of Gurness.

0:08:570:09:00

-Bro...

-Broch.

-Bro...

-Broch!

0:09:000:09:03

-Gurner.

-Gurness!

0:09:030:09:05

-Garness.

-Gurness!

0:09:050:09:07

-Broch of Garness.

-Broch of GURNESS!

0:09:070:09:09

OK, great, OK.

0:09:090:09:11

Glad we got that clear!

0:09:110:09:13

Brochs are unique to Scotland.

0:09:140:09:16

The Broch of Gurness is thought to be a defensive tower

0:09:160:09:19

that was surrounded by an Iron Age settlement

0:09:190:09:22

built somewhere between 500-200BC.

0:09:220:09:24

The Broch would have been home to a wealthy and powerful chieftain.

0:09:240:09:28

The Vikings reused the site for a burial in the 9th century.

0:09:280:09:31

Let's go see it!

0:09:310:09:32

Run!

0:09:320:09:34

Lead the way! Come on, Josie!

0:09:340:09:36

Hurry up, you three, it looks so cold!

0:09:360:09:38

Here we are, boys.

0:09:380:09:40

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

0:09:400:09:41

This is actually where it all happens!

0:09:410:09:44

Josie, what can you tell us about this building?

0:09:440:09:47

-Do you know what this is?

-Is it a foot spa that you put your feet in

0:09:470:09:51

and you sit like this and someone cleans your feet?

0:09:510:09:53

Could've been a spa, but one of the most exciting things it could be

0:09:530:09:57

is they would heat a hot stone in the fire,

0:09:570:10:00

and then they would put it in the cold water,

0:10:000:10:02

and poach their fish or cook their meat.

0:10:020:10:06

There would have been two floors

0:10:060:10:08

and there'd be steps up here.

0:10:080:10:10

Josie, what is this?

0:10:100:10:11

This is the mysterious well.

0:10:110:10:14

-What if it was a dungeon?

-It could've been, for all we know.

0:10:140:10:17

What if they locked me and John in there?

0:10:170:10:19

That's an idea!

0:10:190:10:20

Yeah, it's tempting!

0:10:200:10:22

But we're not allowed to.

0:10:220:10:24

And who'd guide the tourists around tomorrow?

0:10:240:10:27

Well, time's up at the Broch of Gurness.

0:10:270:10:30

The day is drawing to a close,

0:10:300:10:31

but the boys have time for one more stop on their tour of Orkney.

0:10:310:10:35

And here are their next experts.

0:10:350:10:38

Oh, Vikings! Hello...

0:10:380:10:40

This time they've headed for the beach and... Oh, um...

0:10:410:10:45

they seem to have grown some moustaches for the occasion.

0:10:450:10:48

Don't ask why. Your guess is as good as mine.

0:10:480:10:51

Blimey, what's going on?

0:10:510:10:53

Are you guys Vikings?

0:10:530:10:55

-We are Vikings!

-Why did the Vikings come to Orkney?

0:10:550:10:59

To control the trade routes, to control the shipping

0:10:590:11:03

and to make lots and lots of lovely silver!

0:11:030:11:06

According to surveys, Vikings were raiding Orkney in the 11th century,

0:11:070:11:12

though it is not known when they first settled in Orkney.

0:11:120:11:14

We know the Vikings were raiding monastic sites elsewhere in Britain

0:11:140:11:18

as late as the 8th century, because monks recorded these attacks.

0:11:180:11:21

As Orkney is close to Scandinavia,

0:11:210:11:23

it is likely they were present here at this time too.

0:11:230:11:26

In the 13th century, Orkney was part of Norway

0:11:260:11:28

and many of today's Orcadians are descendants of the Vikings.

0:11:280:11:32

And what type of tactics did you guys use to take over countries?

0:11:320:11:36

We introduced close-packed formations,

0:11:360:11:39

where shields were interlocked.

0:11:390:11:41

-Hit the shields!

-Run into the shield!

0:11:410:11:44

GRUNTING

0:11:460:11:48

Oh, that was pathetic, boys.

0:11:480:11:50

Now, every good Viking needed a good Viking wife.

0:11:500:11:53

You're showing us stuff they would have done back then.

0:11:530:11:55

I would cook and run the household and I would organise the farm.

0:11:550:12:00

At the moment, I'm doing some tablet reading.

0:12:000:12:02

-Could women fight if they wanted to?

-They wouldn't fight in the battles,

0:12:020:12:06

but I can handle a sword and a bow if I have to.

0:12:060:12:09

That's amazing.

0:12:090:12:10

Watch out, boys. Go and learn those facts or she'll be after you!

0:12:100:12:15

End of day one at Orkney.

0:12:160:12:17

The winner tomorrow will get a bonfire party on the beach

0:12:170:12:21

and the loser will face an unpleasant Orcadian tradition

0:12:210:12:25

which involves being covered in treacle, flour and...corn flakes?!

0:12:250:12:30

Oh, no...!

0:12:300:12:33

Yeah, sticky.

0:12:330:12:36

Can Edward finally avoid this fate?

0:12:360:12:38

I can't remember anything.

0:12:380:12:40

You'd better try, Edward,

0:12:400:12:42

because it's getting dark.

0:12:420:12:43

Time to head back to Jedward HQ to catch up with their team-mates

0:12:430:12:47

and prepare for tomorrow's tour.

0:12:470:12:49

And for some reason they're all talking about soup.

0:12:490:12:53

Moso...

0:12:530:12:54

Me.. Meso...

0:12:540:12:56

-Meso.

-Miso soup?

-No, it wasn't miso soup.

0:12:560:12:59

That's what I thought when she told me.

0:12:590:13:01

The bora something...

0:13:010:13:03

-The bo...

-It's like a soup?

0:13:030:13:06

-It's a broth.

-Bro...

0:13:060:13:08

Oh, dear.

0:13:080:13:10

So we're doing something about Vikings.

0:13:100:13:12

I'll have to remember stuff I learned at school cos you haven't told me that much.

0:13:120:13:16

Wanna jump on the bed?

0:13:160:13:18

That's what they did back then - they went to Maeshowe, got loads of crazy bones, threw them in.

0:13:180:13:23

We've got to explain what it was like back then.

0:13:230:13:25

-So that's a coffin?

-No, this is a box.

0:13:250:13:28

-Are we going to win this?

-Yes, we are!

-High-five!

0:13:280:13:32

Hm... Less jumping no the bed and more sleeping IN the bed, teams,

0:13:320:13:36

I think, if you want to give good tours tomorrow.

0:13:360:13:39

COCK CROWS

0:13:390:13:41

Morning! And it's a cold one.

0:13:410:13:43

Our would-be tour guides are complaining already.

0:13:430:13:46

So we're here and John's heating himself up with the heater.

0:13:460:13:51

Guys, you don't realise how cold it is here. It's like Antarctica.

0:13:510:13:55

7am, and the puzzled tourists are on their way.

0:13:550:13:59

I'm really excited and I hope today's going to be fun, cos I don't know what's going to happen.

0:13:590:14:04

I'd like my tour guide to be young and nice and funny.

0:14:040:14:10

If our tour guide is like a teacher, I'll be really annoyed because it'll be really boring.

0:14:100:14:15

I agree.

0:14:150:14:16

Good. That's settled then.

0:14:160:14:18

They need to be young and not boring.

0:14:180:14:20

Well, we can't promise you the world's best tour guides,

0:14:200:14:24

but they are young

0:14:240:14:26

and they're definitely not boring.

0:14:260:14:27

Who'd have thought an ancient burial mound

0:14:270:14:30

-would make such a good hiding place?

-Get your hair down!

0:14:300:14:33

Hair down! Big giveaway.

0:14:330:14:36

"Nervous" would be a good word this morning.

0:14:360:14:38

Edward just wanted to jump on the bed, which is great fun,

0:14:380:14:42

but not great prep for being a tour guide.

0:14:420:14:45

I know, so far, that there's lots of stones, there's lots of wind

0:14:450:14:50

and, um, there was a skull here in history at some point.

0:14:500:14:53

And so I think they're going to go away knowing loads.

0:14:530:14:56

You reckon?

0:14:560:14:57

I don't know anything.

0:14:570:14:59

Oh, dear. Oh, well, time to run down a big hill!

0:14:590:15:04

THEY YELL AND WHOOP

0:15:040:15:07

Mind you don't fall...

0:15:070:15:09

Too late.

0:15:090:15:10

Hi, guys!

0:15:100:15:12

I'm John, he's Edward.

0:15:120:15:14

-Together we are...

-ALL: Jedward!

0:15:140:15:17

Did you like our entrance? We totally fell!

0:15:170:15:19

THEY LAUGH

0:15:190:15:21

We need a celebrity guest,

0:15:210:15:23

so give it up for Barney Harwood and Sonali Shah!

0:15:230:15:26

Such an elegant entrance!

0:15:260:15:29

She's Sonali and I'm Edward, and together we are Ednali!

0:15:290:15:34

I'm John, that's Barney, and together we are Jarney!

0:15:340:15:38

Are you guys ready to go on a tour or Orkney?

0:15:380:15:41

-ALL: Yeah!

-Right, let's get outta here!

0:15:410:15:44

I'm really, really excited

0:15:440:15:46

that Jedward are our tour guides. It's going to be an awesome day.

0:15:460:15:50

It was really exciting when they ran down the mountain so we knew who it was.

0:15:500:15:54

It's Team Jarney up first, with the story of Maeshowe.

0:15:540:15:58

All right, guys, OK. Maeshowe is an ancient burial mound

0:15:580:16:01

cos it was built to bury old, dead boned bodies.

0:16:010:16:06

-No, that's wrong.

-Yes, it is. Try again.

0:16:060:16:09

Because they wanted to build...

0:16:090:16:12

Oh, get it together!

0:16:130:16:15

Because they wanted to bury dead bodies here at this burial mound.

0:16:150:16:20

No, bones! Just bones, John!

0:16:200:16:23

-That's right.

-No, it's NOT!

0:16:230:16:25

Me and Barney are going to demonstrate a Neolithic funeral.

0:16:250:16:29

Back then they did not just bury the dead bodies,

0:16:310:16:35

they used to rip off all the flesh off the bodies,

0:16:350:16:38

resulting in crazy...eurgh!

0:16:380:16:42

Uncle Jim's dead flesh.

0:16:420:16:43

They didn't rip the flesh off, they left the bodies for the birds.

0:16:430:16:47

They put the dead bodies in the tomb and said their goodbyes.

0:16:470:16:51

-Who wants to go inside?

-Me!

-Me!

0:16:510:16:55

These are the burial chambers, where the people used to pay tribute to their ancestors.

0:16:550:16:59

The passage we came down is set out to face the sunset on the shortest day of the year.

0:16:590:17:05

Who wants to recreate that special moment on the shortest day of the year?

0:17:050:17:08

ALL: Yeah!

0:17:080:17:10

OK, this is the mirror, and we're now going to angle it on the sun

0:17:100:17:14

and reflect it all the way down the passage.

0:17:140:17:17

Is it a bird, is it a plane,

0:17:220:17:25

is it a Neolithic man?

0:17:250:17:26

No, it's a pair of bunny ears. Well, that's enough messing around.

0:17:260:17:30

Good effort there from John and Barney,

0:17:300:17:33

but did they get the facts across to the tourists?

0:17:330:17:35

Or was it all just rabbit, rabbit, rabbit?

0:17:350:17:38

We'll find out later on, but can Sonali and Edward get off to a good start, too?

0:17:380:17:43

They're telling the story of Maeshowe's Viking graffiti.

0:17:430:17:47

The Vikings came and they wanted to tell the rest of the world they were here.

0:17:470:17:50

They signed their names here. You know the alphabet?

0:17:500:17:53

ALL: Yeah. Want to sing it?

0:17:530:17:55

# A, B, C, D, E, F... #

0:17:550:18:00

Wrong alphabet, Edward!

0:18:000:18:02

You're meant to be talking about the runic alphabet.

0:18:020:18:05

At the time, they didn't have that alphabet.

0:18:050:18:07

Thank goodness!

0:18:070:18:09

They had something that was called ruins.

0:18:090:18:11

RUNES, man, RUNES!

0:18:110:18:13

Get it right or it'll be your hope of winning that'll be in ruins!

0:18:130:18:17

This type of ruin is called twig ruins.

0:18:170:18:20

See the lines that look like trees?

0:18:200:18:22

It's like text messages on stone walls, cos mobile phones weren't around then.

0:18:220:18:27

They were writing about treasure, sometimes about girls, who was pretty, kind of thing.

0:18:270:18:31

What would you write? I'd write, "Hey, this is Edward.

0:18:310:18:35

"Here's my number, so call me maybe."

0:18:350:18:37

THEY LAUGH

0:18:370:18:39

We can't write on the walls, but let's still make a rune.

0:18:390:18:42

Who wants to make a rune? Let's go!

0:18:420:18:44

What are they spelling? Um...

0:18:460:18:49

"Team Edward to win"?

0:18:490:18:51

Oh, very clever.

0:18:510:18:53

John and Barney may have something to say about that.

0:18:530:18:56

They're next, at Scara Brae.

0:18:560:18:57

Welcome to Scara Brae,

0:18:570:18:59

a Stone Age village from the Neolithic era,

0:18:590:19:01

covered in sand for 5,000 years and discovered in 1850.

0:19:010:19:04

Please welcome a good friend of mine, John.

0:19:040:19:07

Me Stone Age man. No speak English!

0:19:080:19:12

So I'm going to translate for him.

0:19:120:19:13

Oooh oooh! Waaaagh! Eaaaagh!

0:19:130:19:17

So John, the Stone Age man, lived here with his family.

0:19:170:19:20

What did you do for a living?

0:19:200:19:22

-Moooo!

-There's a cow there.

-Baaaaa!

0:19:220:19:25

-These are farmyard animals.

-John's a farmer.

0:19:250:19:27

Ears. Jewellery?

0:19:270:19:29

They also made jewellery here.

0:19:290:19:31

HE GRUNTS AND STRAINS

0:19:310:19:34

ALL LAUGH

0:19:340:19:36

I think we're now talking about... He ate a lot of meat and it had certain consequences.

0:19:360:19:41

I'm guessing. You might think the way John's playing this is daft.

0:19:410:19:46

They were actually very intelligent.

0:19:460:19:48

They had drainage systems before the Romans thought about it

0:19:480:19:51

and the village they built lasted 600 years.

0:19:510:19:53

-Want to go and see it?

-ALL: Yeah!

0:19:530:19:56

Aha! The story of Scara Brae told by John and Barney

0:19:560:20:00

in their own unique way.

0:20:000:20:02

-I really enjoyed the tour of Scara Brae.

-I enjoyed John dressed up as a caveman. It was really funny.

0:20:020:20:08

But was all the clowning around a distraction for the tourists?

0:20:080:20:11

Will they remember all the facts about Scara Brae and life in a Neolithic village,

0:20:140:20:19

or will the sight of John pretending to go to the toilet

0:20:190:20:22

be all that lingers in their memory?

0:20:220:20:24

HE GRUNTS AND FARTS

0:20:240:20:27

For the tourists' sake, I hope not.

0:20:270:20:29

We'll soon find out when they take the big test later.

0:20:290:20:33

But for now, on with the tour.

0:20:330:20:36

Next stop for Edward and Sonali, it's the Ring of Brodgar.

0:20:360:20:40

-What are you wearing?

-Are you sure about this?

0:20:400:20:42

Of course I'm sure! I've seen it in the movies.

0:20:420:20:45

Lord of the Rings! Gandalf!

0:20:450:20:48

I'm not sure he was a Neolithic priest. I'm not sure this is right.

0:20:480:20:51

Maybe they won't notice it's wrong.

0:20:510:20:54

Welcome to a sacred place...

0:20:540:20:57

full of ancient stones.

0:20:570:21:01

-Built...

-THEY LAUGH

0:21:010:21:03

Can I see that again, please?

0:21:030:21:05

Ha ha, love it!

0:21:050:21:07

In your face!

0:21:070:21:08

So, as you were saying?

0:21:080:21:10

Built in Neolithic times, without the help of modern technology...

0:21:100:21:15

MOBILE PHONE RINGS Yo, Mammy, what's up, yeah? Some place called Bognor.

0:21:150:21:19

ALL LAUGH

0:21:190:21:21

-Brodgar! The Ring of Brodgar!

-Ring of Brodgar, Mammy.

0:21:210:21:25

Give me that.

0:21:250:21:26

Hi, Mummy Jedward. Can he call you back?

0:21:260:21:29

I want you guys to close your eyes,

0:21:290:21:31

take yourselves back to a time that was calmer,

0:21:310:21:35

-simpler, quieter.

-HE BEATS DRUM

0:21:350:21:38

Edward, what are you doing?!

0:21:380:21:40

-LOUD CHANTING AND DRUMMING

-You're going to wake the dead!

0:21:400:21:45

That's what I'm trying to do, wake up the dead!

0:21:450:21:47

Who wants to wake up the dead with me?

0:21:470:21:49

-ALL: Yeah!

-Let's all go for it.

0:21:490:21:52

-Aya pacha! Aya pacha!

-Aya pacha! Aya pacha!

0:21:520:21:55

CHANTING AND DRUMMING

0:21:550:21:59

We're going to wake the dead!

0:22:000:22:03

Aya pacha! Aya... Sorry, I was enjoying that.

0:22:030:22:05

Trying to wake the dead is more fun than you'd think!

0:22:050:22:09

Next, John and Barney are at the Broch of Gurness for a special edition of Iron Age Cribs.

0:22:090:22:14

Welcome! I am John and this is the Broch of Gurness,

0:22:140:22:17

a place for a wealthy and powerful chieftain,

0:22:170:22:20

-who goes by the name of...

-MC Iron Age. How's it goin'?

0:22:200:22:23

This is m'crib, yeah?

0:22:230:22:25

Massive!

0:22:260:22:28

That is my hearth, yeah? That's where the fire was, yeah?

0:22:280:22:31

We was there one night, yeah, thinkin' of names for bands

0:22:310:22:34

and we were rolling stones

0:22:340:22:36

and we thought, "Hey, that's a great name," and we came up with McFly.

0:22:360:22:40

You've got an amazing roof!

0:22:400:22:42

That's me skylight I had put in, yeah?

0:22:420:22:45

That was, like, the first floor, yeah?

0:22:450:22:47

This is where I cooked me fish, yeah? A well hot cooker, that.

0:22:470:22:50

Also I built my own little village for my homies to live.

0:22:500:22:54

You is well gonna love this. I had it made for me friends.

0:22:540:22:57

They's on tour, yeah? That is all me houses and this is a street, yeah?

0:22:570:23:01

I got to do a video call with me mate.

0:23:010:23:04

50 Pence, he's my favourite rapper, yeah?

0:23:040:23:06

-So if you could all get off my land?

-Charming!

0:23:060:23:09

We're off to the beach anyway!

0:23:090:23:11

-Where's Edward?

-At the start of the 9th century AD,

0:23:110:23:14

there were some new visitors to this island.

0:23:140:23:17

-ROOOOAAARRRR!

-What are you doing?

0:23:170:23:21

I'm a Viking! Grrrr!

0:23:210:23:23

I hate to break it to you when you've made such an effort,

0:23:230:23:26

-but Vikings didn't have helmets with horns like this.

-Oh.

0:23:260:23:30

ROOOOAAAAARRR!

0:23:310:23:33

I'm a blood-thirsty Viking and I'm here to take all your gold

0:23:330:23:37

and take all your family and go back home!

0:23:370:23:40

Ha ha ha!

0:23:400:23:41

That's not quite how it went down.

0:23:410:23:43

They were really violent when they first came here.

0:23:430:23:46

Then they decided they really liked it here and decided to settle down and start families and stuff.

0:23:460:23:52

Hm, so no helmets, not always blood-thirsty. Let's try again.

0:23:520:23:56

RRRRROOOOOAAAAAR!

0:23:560:23:57

I'm a blood-thirsty Viking

0:23:570:23:59

and I'm going to settle down and have families and have friends!

0:23:590:24:04

That didn't sound very Viking-y.

0:24:040:24:06

I thought I killed people and went crazy. I didn't know they were civilised.

0:24:060:24:11

-They're kind of pathetic.

-Who are you calling pathetic?!

0:24:110:24:14

You, you bunch of softies!

0:24:140:24:16

Softies?!

0:24:160:24:18

Oops.

0:24:180:24:19

Oh, crumbs!

0:24:190:24:20

That'll teach you not to upset a Viking, Edward.

0:24:200:24:23

Loads of descendants of Vikings still live here

0:24:230:24:26

and don't anger those descendants, cos they can run fast.

0:24:260:24:30

AAAAAAARRRGH!

0:24:300:24:31

Poor Edward.

0:24:310:24:33

Well, that's it. That's all the tours over

0:24:340:24:37

and, as the sun sets on the Broch of Gurness, it's time for the tourists to take the big test.

0:24:370:24:42

They'll be asked two questions on each of the stories.

0:24:450:24:48

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

0:24:480:24:51

that told that story, and the team with the most points will win.

0:24:510:24:55

-Did we get the facts across?

-Yeah, we totally did!

0:24:550:24:58

-We did this, OK? We did this!

-I think...

-We did this!

0:24:580:25:02

You did an amazing job.

0:25:020:25:04

I'm really proud of you.

0:25:040:25:05

Come in for a Jed-hug. Come here, come here. Bring it in.

0:25:050:25:08

Oh, thank you.

0:25:080:25:10

-Can you hear those waves?

-I can.

-Those waves are clapping for us right now

0:25:100:25:14

-cos we did such a good job.

-Do you think we won?

-I think we won.

0:25:140:25:18

So both teams are confident then,

0:25:180:25:20

but are they right to be so sure of themselves?

0:25:200:25:23

How much will they remember about Vikings?

0:25:230:25:26

RRROOOAAAARRRR!

0:25:260:25:27

Will they recall what Maeshowe was used for?

0:25:270:25:30

These are the burial chambers.

0:25:300:25:32

And how much will come back to them about Scara Brae?

0:25:320:25:35

HE GRUNTS AND FARTS

0:25:350:25:37

Not that bit, I hope.

0:25:370:25:38

I really want Barney and John to win cos they're really funny.

0:25:380:25:42

I really want Edward to win

0:25:420:25:45

cos he made me laugh the most and they were really funny.

0:25:450:25:48

I think they're both great and they're both good fun.

0:25:480:25:51

So far, John has won every single show in the series,

0:25:510:25:55

but can Edward finally stop it being a total whitewash

0:25:550:25:58

and prove that he too has what it takes to be a tour guide?

0:25:580:26:02

The sun has set

0:26:020:26:04

and night has fallen on Orkney.

0:26:040:26:06

No-one's going to bed

0:26:060:26:08

until we find out who's won the final big adventure this series.

Amy is back with the all-important results.

0:26:120:26:15

Go on, Amy, the suspense is killing me!

0:26:150:26:18

So here we are at the end of Jedward's Big Adventure in Orkney.

0:26:180:26:21

It's time to find out who are the winners

0:26:210:26:23

and who are the losers.

0:26:230:26:25

Edward and Sonali's team, 54 points.

0:26:250:26:28

That's really good.

0:26:280:26:29

John and Barney...

0:26:290:26:31

..22 points.

0:26:330:26:35

EDWARD AND SONALI CHEER

0:26:350:26:36

Edward's done it at last!

0:26:360:26:39

Well done, Team Edward!

0:26:390:26:41

BOTH: We won!

0:26:410:26:43

You lost!

0:26:430:26:45

L-O-S-E...

0:26:450:26:47

L-O-S-E-D...

0:26:470:26:49

L-O-S-T-E-D...

0:26:490:26:51

Oh, dear. You might finally be a good tour guide, Edward,

0:26:510:26:55

but your spelling's rubbish!

0:26:550:26:57

Get ready for that treacle, Team Jarney.

0:26:570:27:00

How are they going to cover us in treacle if we're running?

0:27:000:27:03

Come back, you cowards!

0:27:030:27:04

Get back here!

0:27:040:27:07

Don't worry, Amy, you tried your best.

0:27:080:27:11

Go for it, Edward. Sweet revenge at last.

0:27:110:27:14

Sweet - get it? No? Oh, well.

0:27:140:27:17

-Let's get on with this ancient Orcadian tradition.

-Ohhh!

0:27:170:27:21

Eurgh!

0:27:210:27:22

It feels so...loser-ish.

0:27:220:27:26

Aaagh!

0:27:260:27:28

It's normally done to a groom before his wedding

0:27:280:27:31

and no-one's sure of its origin, but it's definitely mean.

0:27:310:27:34

-Eurgh!

-And fun!

0:27:340:27:36

-I feel like a cake.

-We've created modern art here.

0:27:360:27:39

-We won!

-CHEERING

0:27:390:27:42

Victory party!

0:27:420:27:44

Guys!

0:27:440:27:45

-Edward!

-It's not funny!

0:27:450:27:47

I woke up this morning, did the tour, rocked it, won. This is the life.

0:27:470:27:52

Our arms are tied together.

0:27:520:27:54

Let's sing a campfire song. One, two, three!

0:27:540:27:57

# Come with us, there's so much to discover

0:27:570:28:00

# A crazy adventure with me and my brother

0:28:000:28:03

# We'll dig up things that will freak you out

0:28:030:28:05

# Cos this is Jedward's Big Adventure! #

0:28:050:28:08

ALL CHEER
