-I don't understand!

..the Jedward boys are back to surprise the nation's tourists...

What's up, guys? KIDS: Woo!

-This is the scariest thing I've ever done.

-Don't shake it.

Serious, John, stop.

..and compete head-to-head to see who will be the best tour guide.

I'm not sure that's 100% historically accurate.

What's his name again?

Who will sink?

And who will swim?

This is the Jedcam!

# Jedward's Big Adventure! #

The Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland.

This dramatic coastline has inspired scientific study,

is home to visiting dolphins and, if you are lucky enough to spot one,

the legends of... Jedward?

Check it out, Edward, this is it!

-The Giant's Causeway.

-Still no sign of any giants.

HE SCREAMS

Edward, don't be scared, it's our mission.

"Dear Jedward.

"In just 24 hours' time, you will each have to give

"a group of tourists a guided tour of the Causeway Coast.

"You will be telling them

"all about the history of this amazing part of Northern Ireland."

Awesome, John! Look, "Whoever gives the best tour will get to

"feast on Northern Ireland's famous yellowman ice cream."

Mmm... Ice cream!

"While whoever loses has to eat stinky, salty seaweed."

SCARY MUSIC

BOTH: Oh, gross!

-John, I think we are going to need some help.

-Edward, look!

-The giants are coming to get us.

-Aaaah!

-They found us!

That's no giants, that's Victoria Cook from DNN.

And Michelle Ackerley from Totally Rubbish.

Guys, get down here, we need your help!

Hello, Jedward!

Fancy seeing you guys here.

You better watch out for the giants.

There is no such thing as giants.

Oh, yeah, yeah, we knew that.

So, guys, welcome to Jedward's Big Adventure.

-What do you know about the Giant's Causeway?

-Nothing.

-But can you guys help us?

-Yeah!

-Why not?

-Definitely.

I think we need to find some real experts.

-You guys relax while we get the facts.

-Come on, Edward.

Well, they may not have to face any giants,

but there is an even bigger challenge ahead

because tomorrow John and Edward will be the leading

a group of tourists around the spectacular Causeway Coast...

Dolphins!

..a place they know nothing about.

John will be helped by Victoria, while Edward will be with Michelle.

Each team will be given three stories which the tourists

will be tested on to find out who the best tour guides are.

This is the Jedcam!

Hi-yaa!

Oh, yeah, big fail!

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

Meet Joe! All right, Joe.

He's not a giant,

but he does have a massive pile of facts on the Causeway Coast.

Whoa! Whoever built this place was crazy.

This is like the weirdest, wonkiest,

wildest place I've ever walked on. What a crazy pavement.

-Well, this is the Giant's Causeway.

-Why's it called the Giant's Causeway?

Do giants lived here?

It was said the giants built it.

Although it looks like a wonky pavement,

this is actually a natural formation.

It formed millions of years ago by molten volcanic lava.

Aah!

The Earth's crust is floating

on moving rock known as tectonic plates.

These moves slowly, no faster than your fingernails grow.

But over millions of years, plates can travel thousands of miles.

Earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur

where the plates meet.

Around 300 million years ago, Ireland was joined to America.

But as the North American and European plates pulled apart,

huge eruptions of fiery lava exploded from deep beneath

the surface of the earth.

The Causeway formed around 16 million years ago,

at a time of intense volcanic activity.

Once the lava settled, it started to cool very slowly, then cracked,

causing the hexagonal-shaped basalt rocks of the Giant's Causeway.

John.

That is actually amazing, Joe, to think America was

so close to Ireland.

Like, back then, me and Katy Perry could've hung out like that.

-She's totally into me.

-She's into me.

-No, she's into me.

'Actually, I don't wish to disappoint you guys,

'but she is totally into me.'

This is a basalt, and that is what the Giant's Causeway is made from.

So, you're saying the whole Giant's Causeway's made basalite.

Basalt. Basalt, not basalite.

-Isn't that right, Joe?

-That's right.

-High-five there!

Edward, you seem to be finding it very hard to learn the facts.

It looks like that I might win tomorrow.

Could Edward be on the rocks already?

It may have taken millions of years for the rocks to form,

but the boys have only got one day to learn all these facts. Time for

the next part of the tour.

Joe, if this was made from volcano and lava,

then why is it called Giant's Causeway?

Well, boys, we get our name from an ancient legend.

Finn MacCool was a famous giant in Irish folklore.

Finn had an enemy called Benandonner,

who lived 25 miles away, across the sea in Scotland.

One day, Benandonner challenged Finn to a fight,

so Finn built a causeway over to Scotland.

When Finn arrived,

he saw that Benandonner was twice the size of him.

Finn panicked and ran home.

But his wife, Oonagh, had a plan.

She dressed Finn up as a baby and put him in a cradle.

When Benandonner arrived, he couldn't find Finn anywhere,

but Oonagh invited him in for a cup of tea.

Benandonner saw the size of the giant baby

and was terrified of how big his father Finn must be.

He ran back to Scotland, destroying the causeway as he went,

so Finn couldn't follow.

Wow, Finn MacCool was pretty cool.

I actually can't believe that Benandonner thought he was a baby.

-John, you're a baby.

-Edward, you're a baby.

Guys, there is plenty of evidence that giants existed,

and I'll show you where that is.

-The giant's boot.

-Whoa!

-Amazing!

-That's gigantic!

You know what's even cooler? Jedward's boot.

Bootiful(!)

Let's hope they've remembered all these facts.

Tomorrow, John and Edward will go head-to-head as they each

take a group of tourists around a tour of the dramatic Causeway Coast,

with the loser facing the smelly seaweed dinner.

Ho-ho!

John, I love history.

Edward, you're going to be history, cos I'm going to beat you tomorrow.

-John, in your dreams.

-In your dreams.

-In your dreams.

-In your dreams.

Boys, boys, boys, boys!

Moving on... And it is time to meet our next expert, Rachel.

Hello, Rachel.

A lady with a fishy tale to tell.

Let's hope the boys get hooked on the facts.

-Welcome to Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge.

-Thanks, it looks amazing.

What don't you guys try and guess what the locals may have been

catching here for over 250 years.

-A cold?

-No.

-A kangaroo?

-No.

-A trolley?

-No.

-A eagle?

A...

-Get on with it.

-Kite?

No. The answer is salmon.

And this is the spot for hundreds of years where the salmon would

have become trapped.

Carrick-a-Rede means rock in the road,

as the volcanic outcrop of rock is literally blocking

the way of the returning Atlantic salmon.

Salmon are truly incredible fish.

Those seen around Carrick-a-Rede were born in the nearby

rivers of the Bush, the Bann and the Foyle.

They then swim thousands of miles across the perilous

Atlantic Ocean to Greenland to feed and grow.

Once mature, they venture home to the rivers of their birth.

Amazingly, salmon navigate by remembering

the smell of their home river, even after up to four years away.

They make the epic journey back to Northern Ireland's to spawn

the next generation of super swimming salmon.

Wake up.

That's unbelievable! So the salmon make the whole way back to here.

Yeah. Salmon always return to where they were born.

So, if me and John end up in Antarctica someday,

we'll always come back to Ireland.

Yeah, you'll always return to your birth.

How can salmon smell so well underwater?

Their sense of smell is hypersensitive in comparison

to us as humans.

Amazing to think that salmon are, like, doing all this stuff.

Are goldfish as smart as salmon? Cos I have a goldfish

that just sits there, looks like it's doing nothing,

but these salmon seem like they are onto something.

Maybe we put a goldfish out there and see what happens.

You have taught us some amazing facts about this place.

I think it is time to get out of here. Let's go that way.

Let's hope Jedward caught some of those facts.

I'm caught in the rope, John.

The boys are halfway through their tour of the Causeway Coast.

I am fisherman John!

So far, they have found out all about the Giant's Causeway,

legends of old and some super swimming salmon.

Tomorrow, they'll be going head-to-head,

and each giving a tour of their own, with the loser not only

tasting defeat, they'll taste some stinking seaweed, too.

I spy something that begins with C.

John, the sea?

No! C, Edward.

Yeah, I said that, John.

It's time for the next story, and Rachel is back to show

the boys the ropes.

Whoa! This bridge is so scary,

-like really scary.

-Yeah.

-You have to be really brave to go across that.

-Or a fisherman.

For over 250 years,

fishermen have kept a rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede.

The first rope bridge was erected in 1755,

but was much scarier than today's,

with a single hand rope

and one-plank width of wood underfoot.

Fishermen would even have to cross in strong winds,

as rough days were the best for catching salmon.

In the past,

fishermen would catch up to 350 salmon in their nets per day.

Once the salmon was caught, runners had only 12 minutes to race

with over 27 kilograms of fish on their backs

across the bridge and up the cliff to the ice house,

where the fish would be packed for market.

Any longer than this, and the fish would go off.

Scary. I think it's time to cross the bridge.

If you're brave enough, guys, let's go for it.

Come on, Ed, lead the way.

Oh, wow. Aah!

Take your time, OK?

Wow, John, this is crazy!

Like walking the plank.

This is so scary.

If you look down, it's actually the scariest thing ever.

Looking a bit ropey there, boys.

I can't look!

This is the scariest thing I've

-ever done.

-Don't shake it. Don't do...

I'm serious, John, stop.

Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce...

I'm bouncing on a rope bridge!

-Bouncing like crazy.

-Edward, seriously, you gotta be careful.

-Let's quote you on the rope bridge, John.

-Surfing on the rope bridge!

-Come on, guys, let's get back.

-Take the phone, take the phone,

John, take the phone.

Take the phone!

Ah, I'm coming to get you!

Flip it around, flip it around. Flip, flip, flip.

All right, guys, I'm John, that's Edward.

-We are Jedward and we are on a rope bridge.

-Yeah.

Take that, bridge, we walked all over you!

Phew, thank goodness for that.

But I wonder what Victoria and Michelle are up to.

I hope Jedward are all right finding out all these facts.

-I know, maybe we should go and help them.

-Yeah. Or...

We could have another cup of tea.

-Milk and sugar?

-Yes, please.

Tea for me, too, please, Michelle.

And I'll have a slice of cake, why not?

While she puts the kettle on, it is

time for Joe to set sail with another story.

Let's hope the boys are listening and don't miss the boat.

Get it? Boat.

Now, for centuries,

locals called that day over there Port Na Spaniagh,

which means the Bay of the Spanish. Any idea why?

Cos Spanish people used to come here on holiday?

Spanish people don't need to go on holiday, they already live in Spain.

Well, we do get some Spanish visitors here,

but that's not the reason why.

It's because it's the site of a famous Spanish shipwreck.

The Spanish Armada of 1588 was an attempt by King Philip

of Spain to invade England.

The Armada was defeated by the English Navy under

the command of Sir Francis Drake in the English Channel.

Many Spanish ships were forced to escape by sailing

around the coast of Scotland, Ireland and back to Spain.

One such ship was The Girona, a galleass,

one of the largest ships in the Armada.

The Girona was rounding the north coast of Ireland

when it lost its rudder in a storm.

It struck rocks.

Of the 1,300 people on board, only five survived.

I can't believe that only five people survived out of 1,300 people

on a ship. That's insane!

The shipwreck wasn't actually discovered until 1967.

-When did it actually sink?

-In 1588.

It was one of the largest finds of gold from the Spanish Armada.

Are you saying they found treasure?

This is one of the most famous pieces, is the golden salamander.

That's some serious bling bling.

For centuries,

experts actually thought the Girona sank somewhere else in Ireland.

But it goes to show you, even the experts sometimes get it wrong.

Yeah, the experts get it wrong, Edward.

Joe, believe it or not, me and John sometimes even get it wrong.

You can say that again.

The day is nearly over, but there is still time to get one more story of

the Causeway Coast, and luckily we have just the expert at the ready.

It's Hazel!

What's up, Hazel?

Your house is pretty cool, but it is in need of some DIY.

Yeah, D to the I to the Y! DIY, girlfriend!

This isn't my house, boys.

These are the dramatic ruins of Dunluce Castle.

BOTH: Oh!

The dramatic ruin of Dunluce Castle sits on sheer cliffs,

30 metres above the sea.

The castle has a long history, shaped by violence,

intrigue and rebellion.

Dunluce was originally home to the McQuillans, a powerful local

family who built the first castle more than 500 years ago.

It was then taken over by the Scottish McDonnells.

Decades of plotting and warring followed.

Dunluce is famous for its kitchen that fell into the sea one

-night during a grand celebration.

-Oh!

Whoa, the kitchen fell into the sea?!

But that's not the only nightmarish thing to happen here at Dunluce.

Of course, there are a lot of ghost stories associated

with Dunluce Castle,

and one of the scariest is supposed to have happened right here.

The ghost of Peter Carey is supposed to haunt this area.

He was a constable left in charge by the English,

but the McDonnells retook their castle and Peter wouldn't surrender,

so they hanged poor Peter over the wall until the head

and the body parted.

And they say poor old Peter's ghost haunts this area,

looking for his head.

Talk to the hand because the face ain't listening!

We ain't afraid of no ghosts!

GHOSTLY LAUGHTER

Not cool, Edward, not cool at all.

Well, let's hope Jedward don't have too many nightmares.

Because it's time to say goodbye to the experts.

Tomorrow, John and Edward will be the experts,

with the help of Victoria and Michelle, of course.

Back at Jedward HQ, the team should be preparing their tours,

let's hope they have remembered the facts.

And they found this thing called ash...an shalamander...or alamander.

Shalamander, alamander?

-Any questions?

-Well, yeah, could you go through that again?

So what do I...? How is this? I don't... How...?

How is...? I don't understand!

If you don't have a hat, not as serious.

But with the hat, totally serious. Way...

Need some help over here!

Oh, man, right. Hold on a minute.

Pull down.

Oh, dear, a flying kettle of fish Edward has got himself into there,

but now it is time to play sleeping giants and get to bed.

Nighty night!

HE YAWNS

Morning!

The sun is up and Jedward are ready to give a crash course

tour of the Causeway Coast.

Let's hope so, anyway, because the group of tourists are on their way.

These guys have no idea who they are meeting or what

we have got in store.

I don't have a clue who our tour guide's going to be.

I don't think there's going to be any giants

at Giant's Causeway today.

Whoo!

Guys, duck down.

They've arrived,

and it is time for the tourists to meet the tour guides.

What's up, guys?

I'm John, that's Edward, and together we are Jedward.

We are here to give you an amazing tour of the Giant's Causeway Coast.

We'll tell you all these interesting, cool facts,

but I have a team member, and her name is Victoria Cook, from DNN!

-Hello!

-And Michelle Ackerley from Totally Rubbish!

-Hello!

-Come on, guys.

Get your brains ready, there's so much facts to learn.

Let's go this way!

When I saw Jedward, I just about... "What?!"

Like, speechless, because I didn't know it was them.

It's time to start the tour, and Team John are up first.

Let's hope it is not a rocky start.

Remember, whichever team delivers the facts the best,

will receive Northern Ireland's famous yellowman ice cream. Yum!

Whilst the losers will be eating stinky

seaweed as they chew on defeat.

Welcome to the Giant's Causeway.

Yes, we're going to tell you all about the Giant's Causeway.

Way, way back, when Ireland was actually right beside America,

and over the years... It was like this, look.

There is the North American plate and the European plate and they splitted.

-Split!

-Whoa! And that's what happened.

It's called the Giant's Causeway cos there are actual giants here.

Excuse me?

If you look closely, you actually can spot Gollum.

What?

He's going around, trying to find the ring, like this,

"Precious!"

-Do it.

-Precious!

-Precious!

-I'm not sure that's 100% historically accurate.

-No, there is.

-I'm going to make my own legend.

-OK.

Yep, this could go on forever.

Anyone want to see a picture of some cute dolphins?

Oh, they're so cute!

Have you heard of Gollum? ALL: Yes.

Well, he's here somewhere, but he's hiding

cos he's allergic to the sun.

OK, this is a disaster. Moving on...

It's a rocky start for Team John, but here's hoping Edward

and Michelle will restore some sense to the proceedings.

What's up, guys? We're here in the Giant's Causeway.

What does the word say? Giant.

That means there's something that has to do with giants.

This dude is called Finn McCool.

And he's really cool.

And this is his wife called Oonagh. And this is his arch enemy.

-Benandonner.

-Anyway, as the legend goes,

once upon a time, Finn McCool was the giant that was here

at the Giant's Causeway, and he could see over to Scotland

on a clear day, and he could see... Oh, what's his name again?

-Benandonner.

-Benandonner.

I'm getting really good at this name.

And Benandonner was his worst enemy. So Oonagh, his wife,

came up with this amazing idea to dress him up as a baby.

Waaaah!

Just when I thought this show couldn't get any weirder...

Benandonner came over to Finn McCool's house and saw the baby.

And he thought that if the baby is that big...

I don't want to come anywhere near the dad.

That is the end of the story.

We've had a gigantic, amazing time here,

now let's do the giant dance.

ALL: It's giant! It's giant! It's giant!

Well, that was certainly an epic performance by Team Edward,

but that the tourists find that a giant success or a giant mess?

I felt that was kind of amusing how big the heads were,

just to sort of look at it up close.

They did explain the story of Finn McCool really well.

And at the end, we had to do a giant dance, and it was hectic.

It's a giant! It's a giant! It's a giant!

We all laughed our heads off.

Now it's time for Team John,

who are hoping to keep a tight ship on the next part of the tour,

but let's hope it's not a case of man overboard.

Hello, kids, and welcome.

We are here at this place called the Spanish Bay.

Actually, it's Port Na Spaniagh, but close enough.

Let's hope it is clear sailing from now on.

Right over there, there was a shipwreck in 1588.

And it was only discovered in 1967.

But we are now going to go back to 1588

for a live weather report from DNN's Davina Wave.

Hello, it's me, Davina Wave,

DNN's full throttle weather reporter. Ho!

Now, you know me, I proper love the weather. It's what I live for!

Ho, ho, ho!

But the storm that happened here,

off the coast of Northern Ireland in 1588,

well, that was a whopper! Ho!

The retreating Spanish galleon, the Girona, was tossed about by

giant waves like a tiny rubber duck in a bath full of elephants.

Which I highly recommend, by the way.

Though I cannot confirm for certain,

but I am pretty sure that those giant waves were caused by two

Geordie lads, just having a good splash about in the tide, you know?

So, I think that is Newcastle, one.

Softie Spanish Armada, nil!

Hurray! Ho, ho, ho!

KIDS: Yay!

But anyway, there were 1,300 people on the ship, that's 1,300,

and only five people survived.

How crazy is that? Are we ready to move on?

KIDS: Yes!

Team John really pushed the boat out there,

but let's hope the facts sunk in.

Meanwhile, Team Edward...

Dolphin!

..are about to serve up a fishy treat on their tour.

Dolphin!

With a bit of luck, the facts are nice and fresh.

Welcome to Carrick-a-Rede.

Dolphin! Oh, no, it's not. Sorry.

-It means rock in the road.

-The rock is like an obstacle course.

The salmon have to swim around the rock.

THEY LAUGH

Ha! Let's hope he didn't pull a muscle.

Help me up!

Can I get a rewind?

Oh, go on, then, one more time.

Don't worry, I'll get back up myself.

Thank you, John. I'm OK, salmons get killed all the time.

Story over!

That's what happened to salmon, they'd be caught,

just like I was caught by the wind.

Everyone stop laughing, we've facts to learn.

The salmon migrate all the way from Greenland.

They spent four years in Greenland

and then they migrated all the way back here.

-They used their sense of smell.

-Yeah.

So, have you all had a smashing time?

ALL: Yeah.

Just like I smashed myself on the ground.

What a couple of fishcakes.

Now it is time to see how Team John are getting along.

Let's hope they have learned the ropes of the next story.

This isn't just a normal type of bridge.

This is a bridge made out of rope.

-In 1620...

-What happened?

Well, I was just going to ask you.

What type of fish do you think they catch here?

-Salmon.

-Yes!

High-five up here. Right here.

Basically, when they catch the salmon, it's very important

that they get the salmon all the way from here,

all the way back on that long walk, which takes 12 minutes,

to get the fish back to the ice.

Cos the fish have got to be fresh, you don't want to eat rotten fish.

So, put your hand up if you don't like salmon.

You two, brilliant!

So, you're going to take part in...

I'm a Silly Billy! Get that salmon out of here!

Two tourists who don't like eating salmon very much must

face their fears doing food for the camp by eating three

disgusting salmon-y dishes in a deadly fish tucker trial.

Dish number one is smoked salmon.

Who is going to eat a bit of smoked salmon to

win this prize to share with all your friends?

-Dig in. Yeah, what are you thinking about that?

-'Is it all gone?!'

-She likes it!

-You won a prize!

Ready-salted crisps go to you. Catch!

Dish number two.

-Oh...

-Tinned salmon.

-Is that salmon or cat food?

-Yuck!

-It's salmon.

-Go for it.

-Dig in.

-Go for it, Ciaran.

-Nice big forkful, come on.

-There you go.

He's done it! Yeah, well done.

That means that you guys have won this cream soda.

We are now moving onto the last dish.

Will you guys get three out of three? The prize is this chocolate bar.

Dish number three, here we go!

So this is salmon paste. Ew!

-Even I wouldn't eat that. Would you you?

-Looks like school dinners!

Three, two, one...

-Nice big forkful! Come on, go for it!

-Here we go.

Look at that. Oh, no, Ciaran is going for the water straightaway.

-Oh, no. Let's see your tongue.

-All the way out.

-Hey, John, do you think they won the chocolate bar?

-Here you go. Yes!

Yes!

You won all your prizes, now skedaddle out of here.

Come on, then, John, have a nice big mouthful.

THEY LAUGH

-I'm a Silly Billy.

-Get that salmon out of here!

It's time for the last stop on the tour, and Team Edward are in ruins.

Sorry, in THE ruins.

What's up, guys? Welcome to Dunluce Castle.

It's 500 years old.

Who likes ghost stories, guys?

Many, many years ago, there

-was a guy called Peter Carey.

-Peter Carey!

Peter Carey was executed here.

He was hung up from one of the sides of the buildings

-and his body was left to rot...

-Scary!

..until this part of his body separated from his head.

And it is said, really, really late at night, when it's dark

and it's cold and it's windy,

-the headless Peter Carey...

-How scary is that?

..haunts Dunluce castle, looking for little children to scare!

Oh, what's that!?

Oh, oh! Mr Ghost, we found your head.

A spirited climax from Team Edward, but will the help of the ghost's

head put him ahead or will the tourists say super neutral?

It's the moment of truth.

Have the tourists remembered those all-important,

vital facts on the Causeway Coast?

Or was all the giant dancing,

eating and spooking too much of a distraction?

It's time to find out as the tourists take the big test!

"When was the first Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge erected?"

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

-Which part of the castle fell into the sea? The kitchen?

-Yeah.

For each correct answer, there is

a point in it for the team that told that story.

And the team with the most points will win,

whilst the losers will face the humiliating task of eating

lots of salty, smelly, slimy seaweed.

The test is now over. It's time to reveal the final score.

I can now reveal the results.

DRUM ROLL

John and Victoria, you scored...

21 points.

Yeah! Yeah!

That's what I'm talking about! I'm 21, 21 points!

Edward and Michelle

scored...

a huge...

49 points!

Yes, yes!

Congratulations, Team Edward! A giant win.

It looks like all that sea air has got to Team John.

Let's roll down the hill!

Edward and Michelle are now off to enjoy a delicious Irish treat -

yellowman ice cream with honeycomb toffee sauce and marshmallows -

while for the losers, it's forfeit time.

BOTH: Ugh!

SHE LAUGHS

That's so good(!)

-Wow, this ice cream looks amazing!

-Cheers!

-I'm so happy we won.

This is really good.

THEY GROAN

This ice cream is jet-big!

Let's get out of here.
