# It's great

0:00:150:00:17

# To celebrate! #

0:00:170:00:18

Whoo-hoo!

0:00:200:00:23

Aha! Did I frighten you?

0:00:230:00:25

Aw, I'm sorry if I did. I'm a knight - Sir Thomas of Ticker!

0:00:250:00:29

I found this old suit of armour underneath some bits and bobs

0:00:290:00:33

and decided to try it on.

0:00:330:00:35

Now I can't get out!

0:00:350:00:37

It's very difficult to move around in.

0:00:370:00:40

CLANK! CLANK!

0:00:400:00:42

How did knights drink tea?

0:00:440:00:46

My friends, Sam and Matthew, love knights, and one in particular -

0:00:460:00:51

St George, the patron saint of England.

0:00:510:00:54

They're about to get ready for a very special day - St George's Day.

0:00:540:00:59

I think they're very excited. Let's find out, shall we?

0:00:590:01:04

-Hi, I'm Sam.

-Hi, I'm Matthew.

-BOTH: We're twins!

0:01:070:01:11

We're celebrating St George's Day...

0:01:150:01:18

BOTH: ..and being English!

0:01:180:01:20

Yeah!

0:01:200:01:23

We love being English.

0:01:230:01:25

And here are some things people think of when they think of England.

0:01:250:01:30

Fish and chips.

0:01:300:01:32

BOTH: Rain!

0:01:320:01:34

Cricket.

0:01:360:01:38

Red post boxes.

0:01:430:01:46

Morris dancing.

0:01:460:01:48

BELLS JANGLE

0:01:480:01:51

And dragons.

0:01:510:01:53

OK, then, not dragons exactly.

0:01:530:01:55

-The man who fought one - St George.

-Oh-h!

0:01:550:02:00

St George is the patron saint of England.

0:02:020:02:05

People think he was a brave, strong man.

0:02:050:02:09

He stood up for what he believed in.

0:02:090:02:12

Come on, Matthew! Let's go.

0:02:140:02:16

'At school today'

0:02:170:02:20

'our friends are doing one of our favourite dances -

0:02:200:02:24

'maypole dancing.

0:02:240:02:26

'They dance around the pole

0:02:260:02:30

'with all the different coloured ribbons.

0:02:300:02:33

'Tomorrow, we're going to a big St George's Day event.

0:02:330:02:38

'So we've come to a craft workshop to make things for our costumes.'

0:02:380:02:44

-Hiya. Are you all right?

-Yeah.

0:02:440:02:46

Right, so you're going to be St George, so on your shield,

0:02:460:02:52

-what would you like to draw? Shall we draw...?

-A cross?

0:02:520:02:56

The red cross, yep, good idea.

0:02:560:02:58

You're going to make a dragon's helmet. Would you like to try it on?

0:02:580:03:03

See what it fits like. Wow!

0:03:030:03:05

Go on, then, Sam. You do that line for me. Lovely!

0:03:050:03:10

Does it look like a dragon's mouth?

0:03:100:03:12

You're doing a great job with that.

0:03:160:03:19

The red cross is the symbol of St George.

0:03:190:03:22

The cross is looking good on the shield.

0:03:220:03:25

OK, scaly, yes!

0:03:250:03:28

Real scaly.

0:03:280:03:30

Good.

0:03:320:03:33

Don't leave any white pieces, will you?

0:03:330:03:36

That's it, Sam.

0:03:420:03:43

Nice! Keep going.

0:03:430:03:46

Beautiful!

0:03:460:03:48

Big tap...

0:03:480:03:50

on the table, that's it.

0:03:500:03:52

-Beautiful. Let's have a look. Show everyone else.

-That's nice.

0:03:520:03:58

Really nice, Sam. Your name looks really good.

0:03:580:04:01

Wow!

0:04:020:04:04

Let's hear the noise.

0:04:040:04:07

HE ROARS

0:04:070:04:09

I think you're going to look a bit scary tomorrow. Thank you very much.

0:04:090:04:14

-Bye!

-Thank you very much.

-ROARING

0:04:140:04:17

'Now we've got our costumes, there's one more thing we need to prepare.'

0:04:170:04:22

BOTH: Picnic food! Yummy!

0:04:220:04:26

-So, Sam, what do we need first?

-Food.

-And...

0:04:260:04:29

BOTH: MU-UM!

0:04:290:04:33

Come on, then, boys. Let's wash our hands.

0:04:330:04:38

First, we're making sandwiches.

0:04:380:04:40

I'm making cucumber sandwiches.

0:04:440:04:48

And I'm making ham sandwiches.

0:04:480:04:51

I'm using bread, butter and cucumber.

0:04:510:04:55

I'm using bread, butter and ham.

0:04:550:04:58

Well done.

0:04:580:04:59

Put the sandwich on the plate.

0:04:590:05:02

Sam and Matthew are making a picnic for their friends Aidan and Ewan.

0:05:020:05:06

Also for our picnic we've got some English pork pies.

0:05:080:05:12

And we've got some scones.

0:05:120:05:15

Best of all, we've got strawberries and cream.

0:05:150:05:18

We can't wait to celebrate tomorrow.

0:05:180:05:21

Ah! That English picnic looked delicious.

0:05:240:05:27

I hope their friends enjoy it.

0:05:270:05:29

I've got a sandwich of my own...

0:05:290:05:32

except that every time I try to take a bite...

0:05:320:05:35

-CLUNK!

-..my helmet slams shut!

0:05:350:05:37

St George is the patron saint of England.

0:05:370:05:40

But no part of England is quite like another.

0:05:400:05:43

There are cities and there's countryside and beaches...

0:05:430:05:48

Well, I tell you what.

0:05:480:05:49

I know a poem that will show you how many different places there are.

0:05:490:05:54

No-one knows this land like me

0:06:050:06:09

On Liverpool's skyline two birds sing

0:06:090:06:13

Of the Mersey River racing to the sea

An owl hunting on Bodmin Moor

0:06:310:06:33

Sees the moon hide behind each granite tor

0:06:330:06:37

And windblown tree

No-one knows this land like me

0:06:390:06:42

On the Berkshire Downs

0:06:420:06:44

A hare counts 40 hops between

0:06:500:06:53

The wind ruffles Lake Windermere

0:06:550:06:57

Spins the windmills of Norfolk

0:06:570:07:01

And blows steam from a builder's mug of tea

No-one knows this land like me

0:07:040:07:07

A Birmingham fox

0:07:080:07:10

No-one knows this land like me

0:07:180:07:21

In Wiltshire

0:07:210:07:23

Wheat grows and acorns fall

0:07:230:07:25

Stonehenge remembers the feel of hands

0:07:250:07:28

And songs in many mother tongues

0:07:280:07:31

No-one knows this land like me.

0:07:310:07:34

# It's great to celebrate! #

-It smells yummy.

-I know. Mummy's cooking us an English breakfast.

0:07:570:08:03

Let's get our costumes on to surprise her.

0:08:040:08:09

Boys! Breakfast's ready.

0:08:090:08:11

BOTH: Coming!

0:08:110:08:13

Oh, wow! Look at you two!

0:08:200:08:23

I love your helmet. And your shield, Sam - brilliant.

0:08:230:08:26

-Shall I burn the toast?

-Burn the toast?!

0:08:310:08:36

-HE GIGGLES

-Cos I'm a dragon!

0:08:360:08:39

'It's time to go

0:08:390:08:42

0:08:420:08:46

'if we can get the hamper out the door!

0:08:460:08:48

'Loads of people have turned up

0:08:480:08:51

'to celebrate St George's Day,

0:08:510:08:54

'and there is so much to do here!

0:08:540:08:57

'Look! There's our friends.'

0:08:590:09:02

We're going to learn how to be like St George.

0:09:020:09:06

0:09:280:09:33

Oh, nice try!

0:09:330:09:36

So, I'm looking for the very best dragon I can.

0:09:390:09:43

Then I will have the mightiest dragon and St George will finally be beaten!

0:09:430:09:48
