0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Just when you thought it was safe... - John, I remember when we
0:00:04 > 0:00:07were toddlers, we were so cute.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11..the Jedward boys are back to surprise the nation's tourists...
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Chicken burger and chips.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16I need you to take this seriously! We need to win!
0:00:16 > 0:00:20..and compete head-to-head to see who will be the best tour guide.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Mary Arden was actually related to...
0:00:24 > 0:00:26She was an aunt of some sort.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Who will get a standing ovation?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29What else happened? Em...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32And who will be booed off stage?
0:00:32 > 0:00:35I don't think they really knew what they were talking about.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37It's Jedward's Big Adventure!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40You have it! I don't want it, John! Take it!

0:00:48 > 0:00:50# Crazy adventures with me and my brother

0:01:05 > 0:01:08# Jedward's Big Adventure. #
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Stratford-upon-Avon - the birthplace of William Shakespeare.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19This charming market town has something for everyone -
0:01:19 > 0:01:21history, culture...
0:01:21 > 0:01:23and Jedward?!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We're here, Edward! This must be Stratford!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28John, I'm so excited about meeting will.i.am.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Edward, Stratford is actually the birthplace of William Shakespeare!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Not will.i.am.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Aw, John, do you think this guy, William Shakespeare,
0:01:38 > 0:01:39will give me an autograph?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I'm sure, back in the day, he would have,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- but do you want to know something? - What?- He's dead.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48It's our mission, let's see what it says, Edward.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52"Dear Jedward, in just 24 hours' time, you'll each have to give
0:01:52 > 0:01:55"a group of tourists a guided tour of Stratford-upon-Avon.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59"You'll be telling them all about the amazing history
0:01:59 > 0:02:01"of the birthplace of William Shakespeare."
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Awesome, John.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05"Whoever gives the best tour will get to try their hand at falconry."
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Amazing. Birds of prey.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13"But whoever loses will get a face full of rotten vegetables...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15"..thrown by angry peasants."
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- John, we're going to need some help. - You're right, Edward.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I wish celebrities would just pop out from the sky
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and save the day like a superhero.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29It's Dominique Moore from Horrible Histories!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And Bobby Lockwood from Wolfblood!
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- We were just going to see a show. - Do you guys want to come?
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Love to go see a show, but there's a show that needs you a lot more -
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Jedward's Big Adventure.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- Can you guys help?- Yeah, why not.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Up here. Nice.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46So, what do you guys know about Stratford?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Um...- Oh...- I think it's fair to say I know nearly nothing.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I probably know less than Dominique, so...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56John, I think we need to find some real experts.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58These guys don't know anything.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You guys relax, while we go get the facts. Let's go!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Tomorrow, John and Edward will be leading a group of tourists
0:03:05 > 0:03:08around the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon -
0:03:08 > 0:03:09a place they know nothing about.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12John will be helped by Bobby,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15whilst Edward will be with Dominique.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Each team will be given three stories which the
0:03:17 > 0:03:20tourists will be tested on.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24It's time to meet their first expert at the world-famous Swan Theatre,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, or RSC for short.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31There she is - Jackie! Wherefore art thou, Jackie?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34She knows all there is to know about Shakespeare.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36What can you tell us about William Shakespeare?
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Well, he's probably the most famous playwright in the entire world.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44William Shakespeare is considered to be
0:03:44 > 0:03:46the greatest playwright of all time.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50He wrote 37 plays, including Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth,
0:03:50 > 0:03:55as well 154 sonnets or poems.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Even though Shakespeare lived over 400 years ago,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01we till use many of the words and phrases that he wrote,
0:04:01 > 0:04:07such as "love is blind", "off with his head", "green-eyed jealously",
0:04:07 > 0:04:10"the Queen's English", "it's Greek to me",
0:04:10 > 0:04:12and even "a wild goose chase."
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Wow, William Shakespeare was awesome.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18What else can you tell us about the RSC?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- We've had some very famous people perform for us.- Like who?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- David Tennant, Sir Ian McKellen... - That's like having Dr Who and...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Gandalf.- ..in one play. That's amazing.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33(Edward, can you ask Jackie if we can go see the costumes?)
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Jackie, John just whispered to me but I think you can hear him.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38We really want to try on the costumes! Please?!
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Yes, of course you can.- Let's do it, Jackie. Lead the way.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Oh, it's dressing up time.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What is going on?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Yes... Very fetching, boys(!)
0:04:50 > 0:04:53How about some new hair?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Exit stage right to the wigs department, please.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59So, we have hair, all sorts of coloured hairs.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03This is fine lace, so you would put the hair into the lace,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06make a little knot and pull it through.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08But the thing is, we do it one at a time.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10You guys don't just make basic wigs.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13We're not like your high street hairdresser,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17so we have to have a very good grounding of period hairstyles.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Wow.- Amazing.- It looks like Jedward, but together on one head.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Oh, dear, what a thought.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Argh!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28On that note, it's time to move on.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Next, they're off to Shakespeare's birthplace to meet Jenny.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Where's Jenny?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35There she is! Nice outfit.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- What's up?!- Hi, guys.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Are you Shakespeare's mum?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- I'm not that old.- Are you his girlfriend?- I'm not that old either.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45OK, then, what are you and what is this place?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48This floor that you are standing on right now is the floor that
0:05:48 > 0:05:50was in here when William Shakespeare was 11 years old.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So, you're literally standing in Shakespeare's footsteps.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56This is where Shakespeare used to walk the walk,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58talk the talk, break it down.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02But it's interesting to know that Shakespeare's father John
0:06:02 > 0:06:04was a little bit of a dodgy geezer.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09William Shakespeare's father John had lots of jobs -
0:06:09 > 0:06:13glove maker, leather tanner, grain and wool merchant.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14He was even a town mayor.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17He was known as a bit of a wheeler dealer who ended up losing
0:06:17 > 0:06:19a lot of money through dodgy deals.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22The leather workshop at Shakespeare's house would
0:06:22 > 0:06:24have been a really smelly place.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27People would bring their pee to tan the leather his father made.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Those with red hair got more money for their pee than others.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne at the time, and as she
0:06:33 > 0:06:37had ginger hair, pee from redheads was thought to be more valuable.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Aw! That's gross. They were selling their own pee?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I've got to find myself some pee.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Guys, there's loads more to see in Shakespeare's house.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Let's go and see John Shakespeare's workshop.- Lead the way, Jenny.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53So, what did they make here?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56They made gloves which they would have sold out of the window
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- straight out onto the street. - Amazing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- This is where we use all the pee...- Pee?!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04All of the pee that we have,
0:07:04 > 0:07:09you would put the leather into the pee to get rid of all that flesh and
0:07:09 > 0:07:11all the hairs, and then after that,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13maybe you'd like to try one of these on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14- I'm OK.- Are you sure?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Cos after that, you would rub plenty of dog poo onto the leather
0:07:18 > 0:07:20to make it nice and soft.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22This is getting worse and worse.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Pee, dog poo, what's next?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Poetry.- Yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Anglaise! Hurrah!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Yes, hurrah!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Upstairs now to find out about Tudor bedrooms.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Jenny, there's a bed here.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Can I go and take a Jed-nap? Cos I'm kinda tired right now.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Well, guys, I'm afraid you can't lie flat in this bed.- Why not? Please?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48No. Most of the Tudors slept slightly sitting up.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Why did they sleep sitting up?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Cos they didn't want to wreck their cool hair?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Actually, it's because of them had really bad chesty coughs.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57HE COUGHS
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Beds were big business in Shakespeare's day.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Having a fancy bed was like owning a blinging sports car.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It could cost up to a year's salary.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09The phrase "sleep tight" comes from the ropes that supported Tudor beds.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11You had to tighten the ropes before you got into bed
0:08:11 > 0:08:13so that you didn't fall through.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Four poster beds with roofs became popular in Tudor times.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19They were made to stop creepy crawlies falling from the thatch
0:08:19 > 0:08:21and into sleepers' mouths.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Many people would have had bad chests
0:08:23 > 0:08:26because of the smoke from open fires in houses.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29To avoid coughing all night, people slept sitting upright,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32thus Tudor beds were shorter than modern day ones.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Urgh, bugs in your mouth, that would not be nice.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Well, guys, if you think that was bad,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42there were lots and lots of superstitions regarding bedrooms.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44They were quite frightened that the fairies would steal the boys
0:08:44 > 0:08:46away during the night.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50So they used to dress the little boys as little girls.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That is not cool.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56How could a tiny little fairy just magically take someone?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58The fairy must be doing lots of weights!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02The fairies in Tudor times were not nice with little wings,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05and all pink and sparkly... They were quite evil and nasty,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08and there were trolls in the dairy, and the devil up the chimney...
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- So they weren't like Tinkerbell?- They definitely weren't like tinkerbell.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- OK.- So with all of this superstition and inspiration around,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17it's not surprising that Shakespeare wrote so many cool plays.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Boo!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20My thoughts exactly.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22The boys are... Oh, there he goes.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24They're halfway through their tours about Shakespeare
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and appear to be learning quite a lot.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27But whilst Jedward are fact finding,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29what are Dominique and Bobby getting up to?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Shakespeare is brilliant, but it can be a bit confusing.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- It's all Greek to me! - Yep, Shakespeare said that.- Blimey.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40See, if Shakespeare's confused, then Jedward are in trouble.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41No, "it's all Greek to me"
0:09:41 > 0:09:44is a phrase that Shakespeare came up with.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh, right.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- I still think Jedward are in trouble.- Quite possibly, Bobby.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52They've left town and appear to be on a farm.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Are they lost?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Oh, no, they're there to meet the next expert.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58No, not him.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Her! That's right. Mistress Alice.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04This place is absolutely amazing. What went on here?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Mary Arden was Shakespeare's mother.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09She brought young William here when he was a baby.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Can you guess why?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It's thought that as a baby William might have been taken
0:10:16 > 0:10:21to his mother Mary's childhood home - Arden's farm near Stratford.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23This was in order to escape the plague,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26which had killed four of his brothers and sisters.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29So it's remarkable that William survived at all.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34The nation had experienced outbreaks of plague from the 1300s,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37and by Shakespeare's time, in the 16th century,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40millions had died from it.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Lots of strange remedies were attempted to cure the plague,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47such as bloodsucking leeches, washing in vinegar,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- and even wearing a toad around your neck. - GRIBBET!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- John, we've got more facts to learn. - I can't believe it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- They had a toad around their neck. - I have my own plague charm, look.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- What is that?- This...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- is a dragon's tooth. - I've got a leaf.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04That would work too, young master.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- But do you know the symptoms of the plague?- What's the symptoms.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Do you feel tired?- Yes.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Dizzy?- Yes.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Do you have big boils on your neck or under your armpits?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I have a spot right there!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Is it turning black?- It's red.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It starts off red, then it fills with blood,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25and then it goes black, and then...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It explodes like...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29..you die.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Oh, no! You better keep that leaf close, Edward.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Time to move on.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Us Tudors, we only have one set of outer clothes,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and our linens have to be washed every day.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Are you ready to do the Tudor washing?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Whatever you say, Mistress Alice, let's do it!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46What do I do with this?
0:11:46 > 0:11:51You batter the washing with it, as hard as you can. That's it!
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Oh, harder! Come on! Put some welly into it.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57And stop!
0:11:57 > 0:12:02A Tudor housewife was judged by the whiteness of her linens.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Do you know what she used to get them really white?- What did you use?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Urine.- Oh, these people back then
0:12:09 > 0:12:12must have all smelled so bad. Like pee!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15No, young masters, they wouldn't smell.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Once you have washed and bleached your linen, you rinse it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Yuck! That's quite enough talk about pee, thank you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Time for quick break and some fun on the farm.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28You're twins, we're twins. Why can't we be friends?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31John, he's got a curled tail, that must mean he's happy.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I'm John, you're pig, and together we are Jpig.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Jpig indeed!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Back to the fact-finding, please, boys.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39We're here in the heart of the kitchen,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42where William Shakespeare walked in like, "Yo, yo, yo!"
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Writing stuff... "I'm kinda hungry, I need my energy."
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Do you know what Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth commanded all her
0:12:50 > 0:12:52subjects to eat three times a week?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Melon?- Jellybeans?- Lemons?- Chocolate?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- No jellybeans, no chocolate. - Christmas pudding?- No!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Tell us.- It was fish.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06In Shakespeare's day, you had to eat fish three times a week.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Once on Fridays, for religious reasons,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and twice more because the Queen said so.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Queen Elizabeth I wanted to build a strong navy to protect
0:13:16 > 0:13:18England from the Spanish Armada.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22But when the navy weren't fighting, she had to keep them in a job.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26So they went fishing...a lot...for the whole country.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Water wasn't safe to drink in Tudor times,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33so the people drank ale instead, even babies.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36The weakest sort of ale was called toddler ale
0:13:36 > 0:13:38and was given to infants.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41That's where we get the word toddler from,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43as it made them toddle about.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49John, I remember when we were toddlers, we were so cute.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Edward, I think we're still cute.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Hm, Alice doesn't look convinced, does she?
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Every night, you would leave your fairy plate out for the fire fairy.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01It's so small, what are they?
0:14:01 > 0:14:06That is her bath, that is some water to put in her bath,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10that is a towel and these are her fairy cakes.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- It's so small you could just blow your nose in it.- No!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Not on my fairy towel!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Now the fairy won't give us a good fire in the morning.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Mind your manners, Edward, cos you're off to church next to
0:14:21 > 0:14:24meet the next expert - Ronnie!
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Hello, Ronnie!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27So, what can you tell us about this amazing church?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's the Church of The Holy and Undivided Trinity
0:14:30 > 0:14:32in Stratford-on-Avon.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon is where
0:14:37 > 0:14:44Shakespeare was baptised as a baby in 1564 and buried in 1616.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51His gravestone is engraved with a blessing and a curse.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52It reads...
0:15:09 > 0:15:13So, why did William Shakespeare want to have a curse wrote on his grave.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18They dug up the bones of the graves outside here and
0:15:18 > 0:15:22they piled them up, and Shakespeare didn't want to be among those guys.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Did Shakespeare want to be a VIP?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29He certainly was and he did want to be a VIP, yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31He's probably knocking down there, like,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33"Let me up, let me up, I want to meet Jedward."
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Maybe, John, or maybe he's just turning in his grave.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Do you think, back then, Shakespeare would have wrote about me and Edward?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Oh, I think so.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- There are plenty of, if I may so say, clowns in his plays...- Perfect.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48..and you guys would be real good.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51So, that was the last story on the list to learn.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Now it's time to get back to the hotel
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and prepare for tomorrow's tour.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I've been all over Stratford, OK?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I've found out that basically everything
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- is about William Shakespeare. - What about this?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Yeah, Shakespeare used that to write his poetry.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Um, I'm not sure about that.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10How are they doing next door?
0:16:10 > 0:16:12"If thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15"and I'll no longer be a Capulet."
0:16:15 > 0:16:17"Chicken burger and chips."
0:16:17 > 0:16:18"Spaghetti Bolognese."
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Edward, that's the menu.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22I need you to take this seriously! We need to win!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Don't stress out. We got a rubber ducky.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Oh, no, they're quacking up.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Let's hope for some more sense tomorrow. Night-night!
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Morning!
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Day two in Stratford, and both teams are feeling confident.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42You think you're going to beat us? Look at us!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45We have winner wrote all over us.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Tell me a fact, John. - Um, one fact...- Yeah, no facts!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Stop arguing, guys, the tourists are on their way!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Hello!- Hello!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57We haven't done Shakespeare at our school before.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm most excited about meeting our tour guide
0:17:00 > 0:17:02and just going around and learning stuff.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I think it's going to be really exciting.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09What's up, guys! Welcome to Jedward's Big Adventure.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10You ready to learn some facts?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12ALL: Yeah!
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Let's do this!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16We're here to tell you guys all about the man himself that is...
0:17:16 > 0:17:17ALL: William Shakespeare!
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I'm against Edward, he's against me, and I'm against him,
0:17:21 > 0:17:22and he's against me.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Before we start, we need our team-mates.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Everyone make some noise for Bobby Lockwood from Wolfblood!
0:17:30 > 0:17:31And guess what?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I got Dominique Moore from Horrible Histories!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37She's Dominique and I'm Edward and together we are Edmonique!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- I'm John.- I'm Bobby.- And together we are Jobobbon!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Bob... Bob-a-job?! Bobba...?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Everyone, stop talking!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49There's William Shakespeare!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Time to start the tours.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54The winners will get to enjoy something
0:17:54 > 0:17:56they loved in Tudor times - falconry.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58All right, mate?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01But the losers will get pelted with rotten vegetables
0:18:01 > 0:18:03by some angry Tudor peasants.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yep. They look very angry.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08First up, it's Edmonique,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12and they're at the RSC to tell us about Shakespeare.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15They need to remember how many plays Shakespeare wrote
0:18:15 > 0:18:18and which famous names and have graced the stage.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Welcome to the RSC. Want to know what that stands for?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Royal Shakespeare Company!
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Good start.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27He is one of the world's greatest playwrights,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29so they put on lots of his plays here.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30I'm going to start writing plays
0:18:30 > 0:18:33so I can become the greatest playwright. What do you think?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I think that's an idea.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Oh, she doesn't look convinced, Edward.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39You better stick to the facts, mate.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I think he wrote over a hundred and something...
0:18:42 > 0:18:45He's written lots and lots of plays.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Oh, no, it's 37 actually. You're just waffling now.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Thy and thee and thou...
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Do you think they did crowd-surfing in Tudor times?- No.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Echo!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I like the wood here. It's like a special type of wood.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58No, it's not.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00No echo.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01What else happened?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Who wrote Rapunzel? - Not William Shakespeare.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- William Shakespeare didn't write Rapunzel?- No.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09But Rapunzel's a really good play.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Oh, it's completely fallen apart now.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14What now?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17OK... Um...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Awkward...
0:19:26 > 0:19:27Oh, dear.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I don't think they really knew what they were talking about.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I didn't really get what they were saying anyway.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Next, it's team Jobobbon. Yes, Jobobbon.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Let's see if they can do any better.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42So, Bobby. What can you tell us about this amazing place?
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- What went on here?- They made leather.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48So all the clothes you're wearing right now were all made with pee.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52CHILD: Get the hair!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Another way they made these gloves... It's disgusting...
0:19:55 > 0:19:57These gloves are made with dog poo.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Pffrrt!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04So we're now going to go into a song. You ready for this?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06# We're tanning leather, not being funny
0:20:06 > 0:20:10# Give us your pee, and we'll give you money!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13# If you've got red hair like Queen Liz
0:20:13 > 0:20:15# We'll pay double for your whizz! #
0:20:15 > 0:20:18All right, guys. You now know the words. Let's go through the song.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19- You ready?- I'm ready.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21BOBBY BEATBOXES
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Oh, yeah!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24# We're tanning leather, not being funny
0:20:24 > 0:20:25# Give us your pee and we'll give you money!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28# And if you've got red hair like Queen Liz.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30# We'll pay double for your whizz! #
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Fresh, yeah. Proper fresh.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Sorry, got a bit carried away there. Very tuneful.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39But what did the tourists make of your efforts, Jabbotron?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Apparently, gloves were dipped in pee to give them tan.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46My favourite fact would be that in Tudor times,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49redheads have the most expensive wee.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Well, Jabobaobatron did a pretty good job there.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Let's see how Edmonique are getting on upstairs.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58In Tudor times, there was loads of superstition.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00People believed in fairies, in the devil
0:21:00 > 0:21:02and they believed in all these crazy things.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04They used to dress boys like girls
0:21:04 > 0:21:07because they thought the devil kidnapped boys.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Want to wear it? Here you go!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Yes!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Oh! So far, so good.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15They used to not sleep like this or sleep like that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19They used to have to sleep upright because they had chesty coughs.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21HE COUGHS
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Edward, are you OK?- I'm OK.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Everyone at the time had chesty coughs.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Oh, you were acting.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Yeah, that was acting. Yeah...
0:21:30 > 0:21:33So, the teams are back at Mary Arden's Farm.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- We found a swan! - Ah, it's a duck!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38It's a goose.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Yes, let's hope their knowledge of Shakespeare is better
0:21:40 > 0:21:43than their knowledge of animals.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Next, it's Team Jabobagobabadobatron.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Will they remember to mention how many sets of clothes Tudors had?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53And what sort of strange remedies they had for the plague?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55And can they remember who Mary Arden was?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Mary Arden was actually like related to...
0:22:00 > 0:22:02She was an aunt of some sort...
0:22:02 > 0:22:05She was related to William Shakespeare.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08She was here and she knew a lot about farming.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Oh, no, John, she was his mum.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Back in the olden days,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15people used to have a very small amount of clothes.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18They had one or two sets of clothes,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21so you had to wash your clothes all the time.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Well, that's one correct fact at least.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Just beat out all the stains and the wet.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm getting tired.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35So am I! Enough already!
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Let's see what Edmonique are up to.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40They're ready to give their last tour of the day in the kitchen,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43but will they remember to mention where Tudors sat to eat
0:22:43 > 0:22:47and the name of the ale that was given to infants?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51This is kind of like a mini fairy bath, and they put it outside
0:22:51 > 0:22:53to wish for a good fire, and they had fairies for everything.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57They might have had a fairy for like good weather, a fairy for Jedward...
0:22:57 > 0:22:58A fairy for fire.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Yep, we get it. Fairies for everything.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- And what else?- Um...
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Oh, napkins! The napkins would go on your left shoulder.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Yes, for all the men, you put it on your left shoulder, and the
0:23:09 > 0:23:12women, I don't know what you guys did, but you put napkins somewhere.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15We're going to guess we put them on our right shoulder.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16That's a guess.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Who needs actually facts when you can guess?
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- You'd only move things with...- Your left hand.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23And you'd eat with your right hand,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26or it might be the other way round, we don't know.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28But you definitely did one thing with one hand
0:23:28 > 0:23:30and one thing with the other.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Uh-oh, it's falling apart.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37That big jar is for... Is it for the ale?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I don't think they drank ale...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Yes, they did! Toddler ale! - Fizzy drinks.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44They didn't have fizzy drinks.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Oh, I despair!
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Cheers!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49What are you toasting, guys?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Here's to the shambles?
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Let's see if the opposition can do any better. Jabobagobatron.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- I'm John, he's Bobby, and together we are...- Jobobbon!- Jobobbon, that's it.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02They're in the church where Shakespeare's buried, but can
0:24:02 > 0:24:04they remember what the church is called
0:24:04 > 0:24:06and the year Shakespeare died?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09The grave of William Shakespeare!
0:24:12 > 0:24:14He was buried here in 1616.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19As you can see, this is a curse and William Shakespeare had this
0:24:19 > 0:24:22curse because he wanted to protect himself after death.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- You guys want to know an interesting fact?- Yes.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I'm related to William Shakespeare. - Go on...
0:24:27 > 0:24:29It's a complicated story...
0:24:29 > 0:24:33So, like, William Shakespeare, his sister had like a kid,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and they had a kid, and over 500 years later,
0:24:36 > 0:24:37- here I am.- Rubbish.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40When he said that he was related to William Shakespeare,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42which is obviously not true.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43You're not wrong!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45That went awesome!
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Bobby?! Where are you?!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51"Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, John -
0:24:51 > 0:24:54"a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy."
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Bobby, what are you doing? They're cursed! You moved the bones!
0:24:59 > 0:25:00They're cursed!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02You have it! I don't want it, John!
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Take it, John!
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Oh, look out. You might be cursed now, Jabbabybons!
0:25:11 > 0:25:14The day is almost over, and all the tours are done,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17but what's the verdict from the tourists?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I think that John was the best tour guide.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Cos he got us involved with everything, really.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- Yeah.- But Edward and Dominique would forget their facts and be confused.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30It'd be like, "Oh, I can't remember that fact."
0:25:30 > 0:25:34I'm not really sure who's going to win. It's a real close call.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39We'll soon find out, Scarlet, cos it's time for the big test!
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The tourists are being asked two questions on each of the stories.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48"How many sets of clothes would ordinary..." One or two sets.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51For each correct answer,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53there's a point in it for the team that told that story.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56"In what year did Shakespeare die?"
0:25:56 > 0:25:58BOTH: 1616.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01And the team with the most points will win a chance to
0:26:01 > 0:26:04try their hands at falconry, but the losers will be pelted with
0:26:04 > 0:26:07rotten vegetables by angry Tudor peasants.
