Just when you thought it was safe to venture out...

-Where are the boats?

-John, we're inland.

0:00:040:00:06

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

0:00:060:00:08

THEY SHRIEK

0:00:080:00:10

Our hair's actually been this tall before, it's been over ten inches.

0:00:100:00:14

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

0:00:140:00:17

We need to win, come on, we have a duck.

0:00:170:00:20

Who will taste victory...

0:00:200:00:23

BOTH: Mm, minerals!

0:00:230:00:25

I had this exact helmet.

0:00:260:00:28

..and who will drop a clanger?

0:00:280:00:30

-Hi, you must be Abbey.

-No, Edward, we're in the abbey.

Ah, the city of Bath, steeped in history and legend, healing springs,

0:01:060:01:10

crowning kings and TV twins?!

0:01:100:01:13

It's Jedward?!

0:01:130:01:15

We're here, Edward. This is it. I am so ready to have my bath.

0:01:150:01:19

I've got my bubbles and my rubber ducky.

0:01:190:01:22

I got a bath brush to get those hard to get areas.

0:01:220:01:26

John, you always got my back.

0:01:260:01:29

Check it out, Edward, it's our mission.

0:01:290:01:32

"Dear, Jedward, in just 24 hours' time you will have to give a group

0:01:320:01:36

"of tourists a guided tour of Bath.

0:01:360:01:39

"You'll be telling them all about the history of this amazing city!"

0:01:390:01:43

-Oh!

-Wait a minute. This is the city of Bath, not an actual bath.

0:01:430:01:48

Oh! Hey, John, look. "Whoever gives the best tour gets to

0:01:480:01:51

-"experience a luxurious Bath spa treatment."

-Cool!

0:01:510:01:55

Exciting.

0:01:550:01:57

"But, whoever loses will be put to work as a Georgian servant,

0:01:570:02:00

"carrying their master around town in a sedan chair."

0:02:000:02:03

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:02:030:02:06

-Heavy!

-Hey, who are you calling heavy?

-Who are you calling heavy?

0:02:060:02:11

John, we're twins, we weigh exactly the same.

0:02:110:02:14

-Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

-John, who are we going to get

0:02:140:02:17

-to help us?

-I think it's too late to find help now...

0:02:170:02:20

-It's Jedward! Jedward.

-Guys...

0:02:200:02:21

John, look it's Kelly-Anne Lyons from DNN and Iain Stirling

0:02:210:02:24

-from CBBC!

-Hey, that's me!

-What's up?!

0:02:240:02:27

What are you guys doing here?

0:02:270:02:28

-Just seeing a few sights, taking a few photos.

-Yeah.

0:02:280:02:32

Let's get a selfie!

0:02:320:02:33

-We need help, we need you, Iain, and we need you, Kelly-Anne.

-OK.

0:02:330:02:37

What do you guys know about the city of Bath?

0:02:370:02:39

-Nothing.

-Nothing.

-You guys relax, maybe have a bath,

0:02:390:02:43

-while we go get the facts.

-Come on, Ed, let's go,

0:02:430:02:45

you guys have fun, see you, guys.

0:02:450:02:48

Well, that was lucky, but their luck won't last

0:02:480:02:50

if they don't pay attention because tomorrow John and Edward

0:02:500:02:52

will be leading a group of tourists around the historic city of Bath.

0:02:520:02:56

A place they know nothing about.

0:02:560:02:58

John will be helped by Kelly-Anne

0:02:580:03:00

while Edward will be with Iain.

0:03:000:03:03

Each team will be given three stories which the

0:03:030:03:06

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

0:03:060:03:10

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

0:03:100:03:15

She looks a bit stony-faced!

0:03:150:03:17

Oh, no, not her. There she is. She's here to tell the boys all about

0:03:170:03:21

the birth of Bath. But where's Jedward?

0:03:210:03:24

Oh, boys, you're supposed to be up there!

0:03:240:03:26

-Amy, where are we?

-You're at the famous Roman baths.

0:03:280:03:32

-Where's all the steam coming from?

-This is very special.

0:03:320:03:35

It's a natural hot spring.

0:03:350:03:37

HARP MUSIC

0:03:370:03:39

Beneath the modern city of Bath lies three natural springs,

0:03:390:03:42

rich in minerals. Every day more than a million litres of water,

0:03:420:03:46

naturally heated to around 46 degrees Celsius

0:03:460:03:49

bubble up to the surface.

0:03:490:03:51

Legend has it that in 860BC, a certain Prince Bladud

0:03:520:03:56

was the first to discover the amazing healing properties

0:03:560:03:59

of the springs. He suffered from the skin disease leprosy,

0:03:590:04:02

was cast out from his kingdom and forced to be a pig herder.

0:04:020:04:05

PIGS OINK

0:04:050:04:06

He noticed that sores on his pigs disappeared after

0:04:060:04:08

a wallow in the hot mud around Bath. He tried it himself.

0:04:080:04:12

Hey presto, his leprosy cleared up, he reclaimed his kingdom

0:04:120:04:16

and founded the city of Bath as a thank you.

0:04:160:04:18

-Wow, awesome!

-Thousands and thousands of litres of water!

0:04:190:04:24

In fact, 1.1 million litres of water come out of the ground here

0:04:240:04:28

every single day of the week.

0:04:280:04:30

What?! That's insane!

0:04:300:04:31

That's enough to fill your bathtub in eight seconds.

0:04:310:04:33

That's a lot of water to wash this hair.

0:04:330:04:35

So, if we drink this water, will it give us superpowers?

0:04:350:04:38

-Would you like to come and find out?

-Yeah!

0:04:380:04:41

Wow! This water's going to taste awesome!

0:04:410:04:44

Three, two, one... The time has come...

0:04:440:04:47

VINYL SCRATCHES

0:04:480:04:50

SHE LAUGHS

0:04:500:04:51

Tastes good then, boys, yeah?

0:04:510:04:53

Do you know why it has that funny taste?

0:04:530:04:55

-Why?

-Because it's really, really high in the mineral iron

0:04:550:04:58

-and, in fact, there's 43 minerals in the water.

-43 minerals?

0:04:580:05:02

Which is why it has that really funny taste on your tongue.

0:05:020:05:05

BOTH: Mm, minerals!

0:05:050:05:07

They might not have enjoyed drinking the water, but let's hope they

0:05:080:05:11

lapped up the facts. Time for the next part of the tour,

0:05:110:05:14

and here's Amy again.

0:05:140:05:16

After Prince Bladud was here,

0:05:160:05:18

who do you think arrived 2,000 years ago?

0:05:180:05:21

BOTH: Hmm...

0:05:210:05:22

-Sharon Osbourne?

-Edward, she's old, but not THAT old!

0:05:220:05:26

It was the Romans!

0:05:260:05:28

Romans...!

0:05:280:05:30

HARP MUSIC

0:05:300:05:31

The Romans arrived in Bath nearly 2,000 years ago,

0:05:310:05:35

attracted by the warm waters.

0:05:350:05:37

They built a luxurious spa for relaxation and a temple

0:05:370:05:40

where they worshipped Sulis Minerva,

0:05:400:05:42

goddess of wisdom and healing.

0:05:420:05:45

People threw coins into the sacred spring as offerings to

0:05:450:05:48

Sulis Minerva. The Romans would also throw curses written on small

0:05:480:05:51

pieces of lead so that bad things would happen to their enemies,

0:05:510:05:55

or, at least, the thieves who pinched their togas while

0:05:550:05:58

they were enjoying a bath.

0:05:580:06:00

THEY CHUCKLE

0:06:000:06:01

But, I just want to introduce you, first of all,

0:06:010:06:03

-to my colleague, Stephen.

-Stephen, what are these?

0:06:030:06:06

What you've got here are thin sheets of lead.

0:06:060:06:08

It looks like there's writing there.

0:06:080:06:10

J-E-D-W... Jedward?

0:06:100:06:13

Well, that's bad news if your name's on there

0:06:130:06:15

because this is a curse.

0:06:150:06:18

Oh, John, what have you done?!

0:06:180:06:20

-DRAMATIC MUSIC

-Oh, no, you're cursed!

0:06:200:06:23

Not really. It is tempting, though.

0:06:230:06:26

And you might be cursing yourselves tomorrow

0:06:260:06:28

if you weren't paying attention to the facts.

0:06:280:06:30

Oh, look at this dude! Hey, Roman soldier!

0:06:300:06:32

As you can see, he's standing strong. Cool helmet.

0:06:320:06:36

Want to hear something interesting? I actually had this exact helmet.

0:06:360:06:40

Me too!

0:06:400:06:41

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

0:06:410:06:43

group of tourists on a tour around the city of Bath.

0:06:430:06:46

Come on, Roman soldier.

0:06:460:06:47

With the loser facing a humiliating heavy load.

0:06:470:06:50

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:06:500:06:53

John, you're going to be lifting a heavy chair and I am

0:06:530:06:56

going to be in a spa,

0:06:560:06:57

oiled and getting the best beauty treatments ever.

0:06:570:07:00

We'll see about that, Edward, we'll see about that.

0:07:000:07:03

Moving on...

0:07:030:07:05

BELL RINGS

0:07:050:07:07

No, it's not the dinner bell, it's the bell from Bath Abbey,

0:07:070:07:09

and here to ring out the facts is abbey expert Cara.

0:07:090:07:12

Hi, you must be Abbey!

0:07:120:07:14

No, Edward, we're in the abbey, this is Cara, the expert.

0:07:140:07:18

-Oh, OK, but when does Abbey get here?

-Oh, no!

0:07:180:07:21

I'm Cara and I'm going to be your tour guide today,

0:07:210:07:24

show you the history of the abbey and also the tower.

0:07:240:07:26

HARP MUSIC

0:07:260:07:28

As a city of wealth and importance, Bath was chosen by King Edgar

0:07:280:07:32

in AD973 as the best location for his coronation.

0:07:320:07:36

He became the first king of the whole of England

0:07:360:07:40

and Bath Abbey is built on the exact place it happened.

0:07:400:07:44

Today's coronation service is based on that first ceremony held

0:07:440:07:48

in Bath more than 1,000 years ago.

0:07:480:07:51

At the top of the medieval abbey tower hang ten bells,

0:07:510:07:55

the most enormous of which is called the tenor.

0:07:550:07:58

It weighs a colossal 1.7 tonnes, the same as a family car.

0:07:580:08:02

BELL RINGS

0:08:020:08:03

Ding-dong!

0:08:030:08:05

Edward, wake up, the first king of England was crowned right here.

0:08:050:08:08

I've got so much more cool stuff to tell you. Come on, come with me.

0:08:080:08:11

Let's go.

0:08:110:08:13

Look down. Would you believe there's over 3,000 dead bodies below us?

0:08:130:08:18

Why is there 3,000 bodies buried here?

0:08:180:08:20

People wanted to be buried in a sacred place

0:08:200:08:23

and lots of people from far and wide who were sick

0:08:230:08:25

wanted to visit the Roman baths to get themselves healthy

0:08:250:08:28

and, unfortunately, it didn't work and they ended up here.

0:08:280:08:31

-Scary! Let's get out of here!

-Come on, follow us.

0:08:310:08:34

Follow Cara, Edward.

0:08:340:08:35

We're now going to climb 212 steps to the tower.

0:08:350:08:38

Let's do this, Edward.

0:08:380:08:39

BELLS RING

0:08:410:08:43

I hear bells!

0:08:430:08:44

Here it is, the tenor bell.

0:08:440:08:46

That's massive!

0:08:460:08:47

BELL RINGS

0:08:470:08:49

Wow!

0:08:490:08:50

What a ding-dong!

0:08:500:08:52

Oh, no, what do we have here? It seems that Cara's let

0:08:520:08:54

the boys loose on some of the abbey's other bells.

0:08:540:08:56

Cover your ears!

0:08:560:08:58

BELLS RING

0:08:580:08:59

What do you think Jedward have gotten up to?

0:08:590:09:01

-Who knows, Kelly-Anne, who knows!

-Who knows!

0:09:010:09:03

You don't think they would have let them...?

0:09:060:09:09

-Surely not.

-There's no way.

-Way!

0:09:090:09:11

The boys are halfway through their tour of Bath.

0:09:120:09:15

So far, they've found out about Bath's healing water,

0:09:150:09:18

lead curses and the name of the abbey's biggest bell.

0:09:180:09:21

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

0:09:210:09:23

and each giving a tour of their own with the loser having to bear

0:09:230:09:26

the weight of failure

0:09:260:09:28

on their shoulders.

0:09:280:09:29

It's time to meet our next expert. This chap

0:09:290:09:32

knows all there is to know about what the decadent Georgians

0:09:320:09:35

made of Bath, it's Thomas!

0:09:350:09:37

Splendid hat, Thomas!

0:09:370:09:40

Wow! Look at this cool dude, Edward!

0:09:400:09:43

Look at your top hat, look at your tail jacket!

0:09:430:09:45

Are you going to a fancy dress party?

0:09:450:09:47

Um, no, I always like to dress like this -

0:09:470:09:49

my name is Thomas and we are here at the very famous Royal Crescent.

0:09:490:09:53

And this is an example of architecture which made Bath

0:09:530:09:56

really famous today.

0:09:560:09:58

HARP MUSIC

0:09:580:09:59

Bath is famous throughout the world

0:09:590:10:01

for its beautiful Georgian buildings.

0:10:010:10:03

The Georgians were very refined yet still wanted to be close to nature.

0:10:030:10:07

They liked to see sheep and cattle grazing in the fields

0:10:070:10:09

but didn't want them right up at their front doors.

0:10:090:10:11

ANIMAL NOISES

0:10:110:10:13

So, they built special hidden walls called ha-has.

0:10:130:10:16

This was a sunken ditch that couldn't be seen

0:10:160:10:18

from their living room windows but kept animals

0:10:180:10:21

and other intruders out.

0:10:210:10:23

It was called a ha-ha as people would have a good laugh at those

0:10:230:10:26

who accidentally fell in.

0:10:260:10:28

LAUGHTER

0:10:280:10:29

BOTH: Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:10:290:10:30

People would be up here, they wouldn't see the wall...

0:10:300:10:33

-Whoa!

-And as they kept going, they'd fall over...

0:10:330:10:35

BOTH: Ahh!

0:10:350:10:37

..and everyone would laugh at you.

0:10:370:10:39

-Ha-ha!

-What else can you tell us about this place?

0:10:390:10:42

-Where are the boats?

-What?

-John, we're inland.

0:10:420:10:46

Oh, good luck, Thomas(!)

0:10:460:10:48

-You're going to need it.

-Why do people love Bath so much?

0:10:480:10:51

They love Bath cos of the architecture,

0:10:510:10:53

they like the culture and they love the history.

0:10:530:10:56

-So, here we have the Royal Crescent.

-Wow!

-Took eight years to build.

0:10:560:11:00

And they start building in 1767. And this is the world's first street

0:11:000:11:06

to be built in a semicircle.

0:11:060:11:08

-The Royal Crescent!

-A crescent like the moon?

0:11:080:11:12

Like a moon. It's very grand and that's what the Georgians liked.

0:11:120:11:15

They liked to be posh, they liked

0:11:150:11:16

-to show off in very rich clothes.

-I like the Georgians cos

0:11:160:11:20

they like to show off and go, "Yeah, look at me, yeah, yeah!"

0:11:200:11:24

When I think of the Georgians, I think of you, Jedward.

0:11:240:11:27

Well, on that note, let's do a real cool Georgian high-five!

0:11:270:11:30

High-five, sir!

0:11:300:11:31

Just time for some Georgian-style selfies before the next story,

0:11:320:11:37

and Thomas is back with a fruity tale to tell.

0:11:370:11:40

Let's hope the boys are ready for some juicy facts.

0:11:400:11:43

Welcome, gentlemen, to the Assembly Rooms.

0:11:430:11:45

This was the ultimate place of social Georgian life,

0:11:450:11:49

and I'm going to reveal to you the ultimate Georgian bling symbol.

0:11:490:11:54

-Ah, cool pair of earrings?

-Crystal headphones?

0:11:540:11:58

Something even more spectacular than that.

0:11:580:12:01

THEY GASP

0:12:010:12:03

A pineapple?!

0:12:030:12:05

HARP MUSIC

0:12:050:12:07

The Georgians were big show offs who loved to boast about their money,

0:12:070:12:10

and in 18th-century Bath, the ultimate status symbol was

0:12:100:12:14

a pineapple.

0:12:140:12:16

One pineapple would cost the equivalent of £5,500 today.

0:12:160:12:22

And rich people would rent them by the hour to impress their guests

0:12:220:12:26

at dinner parties. These were just to be looked at, not eaten.

0:12:260:12:30

It is said that the Duchess of Portland,

0:12:300:12:33

rumoured to be the richest woman in England,

0:12:330:12:36

attended four different Bath dinner parties in one week,

0:12:360:12:40

but ended up seeing the same pineapple being paraded

0:12:400:12:43

for the enjoyment of the guests.

0:12:430:12:44

Our hair's actually been this tall before, our hair's been

0:12:440:12:47

over ten inches. Right now it's, like, four inches.

0:12:470:12:51

-Very interesting(!)

-Why was a pineapple so special?

0:12:510:12:54

They took so long to get here from the Caribbean, about six weeks.

0:12:540:12:58

They are so expensive that the punishment for stealing one

0:12:580:13:02

could result in death.

0:13:020:13:05

Edward, we will not be stealing a pineapple if we go

0:13:050:13:08

-back in time.

-Never, ever.

0:13:080:13:10

And it looks like John has become attached to his new spiky friend.

0:13:100:13:13

Are you OK?

0:13:130:13:14

HE BLOWS

0:13:170:13:19

Why? Why, pineapple?!

0:13:190:13:24

Today is nearly over and, frankly, there's been a lot to take in,

0:13:240:13:27

but there's just time to drain a few more facts out of Bath.

0:13:270:13:31

And here's the expert to do just that, it's Lauren!

0:13:310:13:35

-Good day, Lauren.

-Hello, there.

0:13:350:13:36

My name is John Paul Henry Daniel Richard Grimes and I'm

0:13:360:13:39

so grateful to be here.

0:13:390:13:40

Well, hello, boys. First of all, I'd like to ask you,

0:13:400:13:42

what's your favourite book?

0:13:420:13:44

Mm, anything by Charles Dickenson or...a classic Harry Potter.

0:13:440:13:47

Dickenson?! You mean Dickens, right?

0:13:470:13:50

Did you know that Bath was an inspiration to one of England's

0:13:500:13:52

-most famous novelists?

-Kim Kardashian?

0:13:520:13:55

-Er, no. Jane Austen.

-Oh, Jane Austen...

0:13:550:13:58

HARP MUSIC

0:13:580:13:59

Bath's most well-known resident is the writer Jane Austen,

0:13:590:14:02

who lived here from 1801 to 1805.

0:14:020:14:05

The city then was the party destination for London's rich

0:14:050:14:08

and famous, the scene of extravagant dinners

0:14:080:14:10

and dances with plenty of scandal too.

0:14:100:14:13

It's said that Jane didn't really like Bath

0:14:130:14:15

and thought it was for snobs. No doubt, many of her larger than life

0:14:150:14:19

characters were inspired by the people she met there.

0:14:190:14:22

She was a pioneer, as not many women would have written

0:14:220:14:24

books in those days.

0:14:240:14:26

They weren't even allowed to vote. Jane's now recognised

0:14:260:14:29

as such an important novelist that in 2017 her face

0:14:290:14:33

will appear on the new £10 note.

0:14:330:14:36

She started writing when she was 11 years old

0:14:360:14:39

and she was educated by her father and her elder brothers as well.

0:14:390:14:43

-Interesting.

-So, over 200 years later Jane Austen is still vividly admired

0:14:430:14:46

and remembered for the books that she wrote.

0:14:460:14:48

Her books were all about romance and the society...

0:14:480:14:50

-Ooo...

-..and the society that she lived in.

-Oh!

0:14:500:14:53

Talking of romance, there was a way that women would convey their

0:14:530:14:57

feelings to a man back then but it wasn't with the use of speech,

0:14:570:15:00

it was the use of the fan...

0:15:000:15:02

-Romance!

-So, hold the fan cheekily under your eyes

0:15:020:15:06

and you're going to tell the person with your eyes

0:15:060:15:08

that you should like to be introduced to them.

0:15:080:15:11

You now wish to speak to them, so you would rest your fingers

0:15:110:15:14

very lightly on the top of the closed fan like that.

0:15:140:15:18

Beautiful. You can also use the fan to tell them that they have

0:15:180:15:21

become cold towards you and you never want to see this person again.

0:15:210:15:25

So, simply with your fan, you would tell them goodbye

0:15:250:15:28

-by holding it behind the head.

-Goodbye.

0:15:280:15:30

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

0:15:300:15:33

Tomorrow, John and Edward will be the experts, with the help of

0:15:330:15:36

Kelly-Anne and Iain, of course.

0:15:360:15:38

Back at Hotel Jedward, the teams should be preparing their tours.

0:15:380:15:42

Of course, there's always the chance they could be

0:15:420:15:45

mucking around instead...

0:15:450:15:46

Yeah, they're mucking around.

0:15:460:15:48

-This wall that you were telling me about...?

-Yeah.

0:15:480:15:51

-Can we see it?

-It's confusing, you can see it and you can't see it

0:15:510:15:54

but I know it's there. I have seen it, so I know it is there,

0:15:540:15:57

-but you can't see it, but tomorrow you will see it.

-Glad that's

0:15:570:16:00

cleared up. I wonder if Team Edward are faring any better?

0:16:000:16:03

What is the period of time you are thinking about?

0:16:030:16:05

I'm thinking about the Jedwardian period.

0:16:050:16:08

The Jedwardian! That's... George, Georgian?

0:16:080:16:11

We need to win, come on! We have a duck!

0:16:110:16:13

-Do you have my back?

-Are you joking... I have your back,

0:16:130:16:16

-your front, everything.

-We're going to be doing everything as well

0:16:160:16:19

-so let's do this tomorrow.

-Let's do it!

-Let's do it!

0:16:190:16:22

Time you got to bed. Sweet dreams!

0:16:220:16:24

HE YAWNS AND ALARM RINGS

0:16:240:16:26

Morning!

0:16:260:16:27

As the sun illuminates the ancient city of Bath,

0:16:270:16:29

Jedward awake! Ready to illuminate us with the facts.

0:16:290:16:34

They'd better be, cos a group of tourists are already on their way.

0:16:340:16:38

These guys have no idea who they're meeting or what we've got in store.

0:16:380:16:42

I'm feeling excited for today cos I don't know who the host

0:16:420:16:47

-is going to be.

-If the tour guide was my history teacher,

0:16:470:16:50

I'd be like, "No, no!"

0:16:500:16:52

Jedward hide in the ha-ha as the tourists arrive.

0:16:520:16:55

THEY SHRIEK

0:16:560:16:58

I'm John, that's Edward and welcome to Jedward's Big Adventure.

0:16:580:17:01

We're in Bath, you excited?

0:17:010:17:03

ALL: Yeah!

0:17:030:17:05

Time to reveal the teams, make some noise for Kelly-Anne

0:17:050:17:08

from DNN and Iain Stirling from CBBC!

0:17:080:17:12

-I'm John.

-I'm Kelly-Anne.

0:17:120:17:14

BOTH: And together we are Jellyard!

0:17:140:17:16

-I'm Edward.

-I'm Iain.

-And together we are...

0:17:160:17:19

Edwiain, yeah!

0:17:190:17:21

Are you guys ready to find out all the amazing

0:17:210:17:23

facts about the city of Bath?

0:17:230:17:25

ALL: Yes!

0:17:250:17:26

Let's all run that way, go!

0:17:260:17:29

-I don't run, I do not run.

-Come on, Iain.

0:17:290:17:31

I was, like, really shocked cos they were the last people I'd expect.

0:17:320:17:36

I bet. It's time to start the tour, and Team Edward are up first.

0:17:360:17:40

Can they bring the birth of Bath to life?

0:17:400:17:43

Remember, whichever team delivers the facts the best will

0:17:430:17:46

receive some spa-style pampering

0:17:460:17:48

whilst the losers will be doing some seriously heavy lifting. Ouch!

0:17:480:17:52

Hey, guys, welcome to Bath. Famous for these Roman baths

0:17:520:17:56

and natural hot spring that's heated from down in the Earth's core.

0:17:560:18:00

It's 47 degrees - hot!

0:18:000:18:03

Almost. 46!

0:18:030:18:06

Do you want to know what's so special about this Roman bath?

0:18:060:18:09

-It's 46 degrees?

-It has healing powers. It's a myth...

0:18:090:18:12

this guy had leprosy at the time...

0:18:120:18:15

Uh-oh, he's forgotten his name.

0:18:150:18:17

He started this cos he saw his pigs rolling around in mud and

0:18:170:18:20

he noticed that it healed their cuts and sores...

0:18:200:18:23

Roll up, roll up...

0:18:230:18:25

-Oh, no, it's getting worse, here's Iain.

-..get your Bath water.

0:18:250:18:28

-Do you want to try some water?

-Whose idea was this?

-Oh, lovely,

0:18:280:18:31

-isn't it?

-Oh, dear!

-Oh...

0:18:310:18:33

LAUGHTER

0:18:330:18:34

-Have some more to wash it...

-No, they're meant to be trying it.

0:18:340:18:37

-Sorry...

-It's anarchy.

-The water you just drank is past its

0:18:370:18:40

sell-by date, it's 10,000 years old. What's in the water that makes

0:18:400:18:43

-it so delicious?

-In the water there's iron, calcium a lot of stuff...

0:18:430:18:49

-When in doubt, run away.

-Let's get out of here.

0:18:490:18:51

Shall we all just pretend that never happened?

0:18:510:18:54

What a wash-out. Get it?

0:18:540:18:56

I thought it was all right but not the best cos we got covered in water

0:18:560:19:00

and it didn't taste that nice.

0:19:000:19:01

But how will John and Kelly-Anne compare

0:19:010:19:03

when they take on the role of Romans?

0:19:030:19:06

2,000 years ago, the Romans came here cos

0:19:060:19:09

they were attracted to the warm waters of the hot springs.

0:19:090:19:13

They needed to relax, so they'd come here and they'd chill out.

0:19:130:19:17

So, they dedicated this whole spa to...

0:19:170:19:21

BOTH: Sulis Minerva.

0:19:210:19:23

She's a goddess...

0:19:230:19:24

-Goddess of wisdom and healing.

-Yes, wow. You really do know

0:19:240:19:28

-your facts, Kelly-Anne.

-I try, I try.

-Very impressive, Team John.

0:19:280:19:32

Back then, if someone did something really bad to you, they'd throw

0:19:320:19:35

curses into the water. So they'd write their curses

0:19:350:19:37

and then write it on lead and throw it in the water...

0:19:370:19:40

And if I had a piece of lead, I would write...

0:19:400:19:43

-"I hope Edward and Iain lose," and I'd throw it...

-No!

0:19:430:19:46

We're going to get you all to do this, so pass these pencils around.

0:19:460:19:49

And we want you guys to write curses about the other team

0:19:490:19:53

-and we're going to throw them into this well.

-Right.

0:19:530:19:57

Oh, dirty tactics from Team John.

0:19:570:20:00

OK, what does this one say...?

0:20:000:20:01

SHE GASPS

0:20:010:20:03

"Edward and Iain are going to lose"! Who did that one?

0:20:030:20:05

"I hope the other team don't get their facts straight."

0:20:050:20:09

LAUGHTER

0:20:090:20:11

Why are you cursing my team?

0:20:110:20:12

Oh, rumbled.

0:20:120:20:14

No good cursing the other team if they haven't got their own facts

0:20:140:20:17

right. Will Team John live to regret their underhand tactics?

0:20:170:20:21

Now it's time for Team Edward, who are hoping to give

0:20:210:20:24

the tourists a right ding-dong on the next part of their tour.

0:20:240:20:27

Guys, right now we're here in Bath Abbey, it's where the first

0:20:270:20:32

king of England was crowned, right here where you're standing.

0:20:320:20:35

So, a big blinging crown was put on his head and they said,

0:20:350:20:38

"You are the crown of England," and guess what his name was...

0:20:380:20:42

-Edgar. Yes!

-And when he said, "crown of England" he meant

0:20:420:20:45

-king of England, just so you know.

-Thanks for clearing that up, Iain.

0:20:450:20:48

Guys, you are currently standing on...

0:20:480:20:52

3,000 dead people.

0:20:520:20:53

ALL: Eugh!

0:20:530:20:56

-It's all over your fancy trainers.

-Oh, not my winged trainers!

0:20:560:20:59

Heaven forbid.

0:20:590:21:01

BOINGING

0:21:010:21:03

-Let's go to the bells!

-OK, let's go.

0:21:030:21:05

Guess what, the biggest bell in this bell tower is called a tenor bell.

0:21:050:21:09

It's the cheapest bell in the tower as well, it's only a tenner!

0:21:090:21:12

LAUGHTER

0:21:120:21:13

-No, it's a tenor bell.

-How much does it weigh?

0:21:130:21:16

It weighs 1.7 metric tonnes. Think how heavy that is,

0:21:160:21:21

that's as heavy as...

0:21:210:21:22

HE BEEPS

0:21:220:21:24

-..a family car.

-Guys, we're about to play a game.

0:21:240:21:28

I'm going to play a tune. You guess

0:21:280:21:30

what the tune is and then we'll find out if you're right or wrong as

0:21:300:21:33

Edward will sing a rendition of the song in his infamous Jedward fashion.

0:21:330:21:38

-# La...#

-Oh, no!

0:21:380:21:39

Here's your first tune, OK...

0:21:390:21:42

BELLS RING

0:21:420:21:44

Er...

0:21:440:21:46

What do you guys think it is?

0:21:460:21:48

-Jingle Bells.

-No.

0:21:480:21:50

EastEnders?

0:21:500:21:52

-What do you think it was?

-What was that?

0:21:520:21:54

Question Of Sport?

0:21:540:21:55

It's One Direction!

0:21:550:21:57

# You don't know you're beautiful

0:21:570:21:59

# Oh, oh... #

0:21:590:22:01

Of course(!) I was going to say that.

0:22:010:22:03

That will be ringing in their ears.

0:22:030:22:05

-Let's hope they can hear the facts.

-It was belltastic!

0:22:050:22:09

A bell of a time!

0:22:090:22:11

Meanwhile, Team John are about to tell the tourists about some

0:22:110:22:14

beautiful buildings and a very silly wall.

0:22:140:22:16

This is what we call the Royal Crescent.

0:22:160:22:18

Back then, it was all about building amazing buildings,

0:22:180:22:21

beautiful buildings, that's why Bath looks so amazing. Isn't it amazing?

0:22:210:22:24

ALL: Yeah!

0:22:240:22:26

Want to use another word other than amazing, John?

0:22:260:22:29

-What's over here?

-What is this called, Kelly-Anne?

0:22:290:22:31

-This would be the ha-ha wall.

-Is it the ha-ha wall, not the ho-ho wall?

0:22:310:22:35

Ha-ha, right? Ha-ha.

0:22:350:22:37

ALL: Ha-ha-ha-ha...

0:22:370:22:40

Fantastic.

0:22:400:22:42

The reason why it was called the ha-ha wall and the reason why we

0:22:420:22:45

had the ha-ha wall was because back then this area was very important

0:22:450:22:48

and the sheep would be walking round

0:22:480:22:49

and they didn't want the sheep getting too close.

0:22:490:22:51

-No.

-Cos you would wake up in the morning and go,

0:22:510:22:53

"What a great day it is!" and you'd wake up and get some crazies

0:22:530:22:56

going "Baa, ba-a-a!" and you're like,

0:22:560:22:58

"Oh, get out of my face, sheep," and that's why they built the..."

0:22:580:23:01

-Is anyone else following this?

-The reason it got the name was

0:23:010:23:04

people would come out here at night-time,

0:23:040:23:06

and walking, and it was totally dark

0:23:060:23:08

and they'd fall and everyone would go,

0:23:080:23:10

"Ha-ha-ha, you fell!"

0:23:100:23:11

And...breathe.

0:23:120:23:14

Very good, Team John, but will they be laughing all the way to the...

0:23:140:23:17

HE CLEARS THROAT

0:23:170:23:18

..spa with that performance?

0:23:180:23:20

Now it's time to see how Team Edward are getting along.

0:23:200:23:23

Can they remember all of those fabulous fruity facts?

0:23:230:23:26

-This is guess the accessory!

-Guess the Georgian accessory.

0:23:260:23:29

-Georgian accessory.

-The thing under this cloth is worth

0:23:290:23:34

£5,500 in today's money.

0:23:340:23:36

GASPS

0:23:360:23:37

-Any guesses...?

-Diamonds.

-No.

-Are you ready for the reveal?

0:23:370:23:41

ALL: Yeah.

0:23:410:23:42

-Oh...

-It was...

0:23:430:23:45

What?! What?!

0:23:460:23:48

ALL GASP

0:23:480:23:49

-A pineapple?

-It's OK, yeah, a pineapple.

0:23:490:23:52

They were worth £5,500 in Georgian times, why is that?

0:23:520:23:56

Cos it took six weeks for them to get here from the Caribbean

0:23:560:23:59

and today you can just buy them for £2.

0:23:590:24:01

What's Iain up to?

0:24:010:24:02

IMITATES IRISH ACCENT: Welcome to Jedward's Big Adventure!

0:24:020:24:05

-Today we're in Bath...

-I thought so.

0:24:050:24:07

..learning about the pineapple.

0:24:070:24:09

-LAUGHTER

-Amazing.

-Whatever(!)

0:24:090:24:11

-Hi, I'm Jedward.

-Oh, that's uncanny!

-LAUGHTER

0:24:110:24:15

-I don't sound like that!

-You do, mate.

0:24:150:24:17

Enough fooling around, we wouldn't want to upset the pineapple cart!

0:24:170:24:21

I'm sorry. But what's this...?

0:24:210:24:23

For their final story,

0:24:230:24:24

John and Kelly-Anne have gone all Hollywood...

0:24:240:24:27

CLASSICAL MUSIC AND SINGING

0:24:280:24:31

In a time of forbidden love...

0:24:330:24:36

where one man and one wo-man dared not speak.

0:24:360:24:40

Two star-crossed lovers meet across a crowded dance floor

0:24:400:24:45

and speaketh the language that hadeth no sound.

0:24:450:24:48

The language of the fan.

0:24:480:24:52

Will true love prevail...

0:24:520:24:54

..across the dangerous wind of time...

0:24:580:25:01

or will it be goodbye?

0:25:010:25:03

CHEERING

0:25:120:25:14

Back then, you could not go up to someone if you

0:25:140:25:17

liked them, you had to wait and see what they thought of you

0:25:170:25:19

-by using this...

-A fan.

0:25:190:25:21

You'd communicate through the fan.

0:25:210:25:23

Now, you're probably wondering about our outfits right now.

0:25:230:25:27

-These are from Jane Austen's time.

-She's a famous author who was

0:25:270:25:31

so inspired by the Georgian era, she wrote about all the characters

0:25:310:25:34

-that passed through Bath.

-She wrote books like

0:25:340:25:37

-Sense And Sensibility.

-Emma.

-Pride And Prejudice.

0:25:370:25:40

In the year 2017, she's going to have her own £10 note.

0:25:400:25:43

How awesome is that?

0:25:430:25:45

Very awesome, but was their performance a bestseller

0:25:450:25:47

or have they booked themselves a heavy forfeit?

0:25:470:25:50

It's the moment of truth. Have the tourists remembered those

0:25:510:25:55

all-important vital facts on the city of Bath?

0:25:550:25:58

Or was all that splashing,

0:25:580:25:59

cursing and bell ringing too much of a distraction?

0:25:590:26:03

It's time to find out as the tourists take the Big Test!

0:26:030:26:08

On what material did the Romans write their curses?

0:26:080:26:10

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

0:26:100:26:14

What is the name of the famous female author who lived in Bath for a time?

0:26:140:26:18

-Jane Austen.

-For each correct answer, there's a point in it

0:26:180:26:21

for the team that told that story.

0:26:210:26:23

What was the name of the prince who was cured of leprosy by the springs?

0:26:230:26:27

-Not sure, it's gone.

-And the team with the most points will win

0:26:270:26:30

whilst the losers will face the humiliating task of carrying

0:26:300:26:33

the weight of the other team on their shoulders.

0:26:330:26:37

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

0:26:370:26:41

I can now reveal the results.

0:26:410:26:44

Team John - you scored a very impressive...

0:26:470:26:51

38 points.

0:26:510:26:53

Wow!

0:26:530:26:54

Team Edward - you scored...

0:26:550:26:59

..24 points.

0:27:030:27:05

CHEERING

0:27:050:27:06

Why?!

0:27:080:27:11

Loser!

0:27:120:27:14

Oh, no!

0:27:140:27:16

Congratulations, Team John,

0:27:160:27:18

looks like those Roman curses did the trick.

0:27:180:27:21

John and Kelly-Anne are off to enjoy a luxurious spa day

0:27:210:27:25

whilst for the losers, Edward and Iain, it's forfeit time.

0:27:250:27:28

Happy lifting!

0:27:280:27:30

Oh! So heavy!

0:27:300:27:33

So heavy, John.

0:27:330:27:34

Stop your moaning, jibber jabbering slaves!

0:27:340:27:37

Thank you, servant. You mind the sedan chair in the rain

0:27:390:27:42

while I go and enjoy a luxurious spa with my Kelly-Anne.

0:27:420:27:47

See you later, servants!

0:27:470:27:49

Wow, it's so warm!

0:27:500:27:53

-I already feel amazing.

-It's very warm, it's like Bath water.

0:27:530:27:56

Ah!

0:27:560:27:57

Iain, how long are they going to be in there?

0:27:570:27:59

-They said a couple of hours.

-Oh!

0:27:590:28:02

-I'm so relaxed.

-It's so relaxing.

0:28:030:28:05

It's starting to rain now!

0:28:050:28:07

We're the winners!

0:28:070:28:09

BOTH: Team Jellyard!

0:28:090:28:11

I hope we don't get a parking ticket.
