0:00:47 > 0:00:48So what are we going to do?
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Erm... One of us is going to have to go shopping.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55- Oh, yes. Of course. - Right. Let's write a shopping list.
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Oh, OK. Cheese!

0:02:00 > 0:02:01# It's me! #
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Look! There's the dressing-up room!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09This is really exciting!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12So what are we playing today?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Right. So I'm wearing a pointy hat,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22ski-wear and flip flops.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24This can't be right.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Whoa. Now this is more like it.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34I've got on a helmet, I have a shield and some lovely warm boots.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37So what are we playing today?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Of course, we're going to play Vikings from the olden days.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So what do we need to know?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Vikings lived over 1,000 years ago.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52They came from an area called Scandinavia,
0:02:52 > 0:02:57which includes the countries we call Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00And Vikings travelled and settled all over Europe.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Vikings showed off their strength by lifting heavy stones.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Viking longships had sails,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11and when there wasn't any wind, they used oars.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14And Viking sailors knew land was nearby
0:03:14 > 0:03:17when they saw birds in the sky.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK, so that's what we need to remember,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22but do we need anything else?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27HORN TOOTS
0:03:27 > 0:03:30A horn? What are we going to need this for?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Well, I guess we'll find out.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35So we've got everything we need. Let's go.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37# Let's play. #
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Rebecca, guess what I'm playing today?!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43A furry knight carrying a dustbin lid!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46No! Look at the shield. Look at me.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I give in.- Rebecca, I'm going to be a Viking! You know, grr!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Oh, wow! Oh, I love the helmet! - Oh, thanks.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Well, look, Sid, this shopping list won't write itself.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00No, it won't, so I'm going to go and play Vikings. Grr!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- See you later!- See you later. - Grr!
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Come on, let's play Vikings. Grr!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Whoa!
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Wow!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Yes!
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Whoo-hoo-hoo!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Wa-hey!
0:04:22 > 0:04:24So, where are we?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Oh.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30# Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside
0:04:30 > 0:04:33# Oh, I do like to be beside the sea... #
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Except for this one. Brr! It's really cold!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40The Vikings are coming! The Vikings are coming, run!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Run!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Well, that would be a bit silly. Can't you see who I am?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48A furry knight carrying a dustbin lid?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50No! I'm a Viking. Grr! See?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Agh! Run away!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56The Vikings are here, the Vikings are here!
0:04:56 > 0:05:01No, no, no, I'm not a scary Viking, I'm really friendly!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03So where are these Vikings then?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04FOGHORN BLARES
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh! Did you hear that?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09FOGHORN BLARES
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It sounds like it's coming from the foggy sea.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Hello? Hello?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I'm a Viking! I'm kind of hoping you're Vikings too.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20FOGHORN BLARES
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Sounds like it's getting further away!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I need a loud fog horn too.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Oh!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Hold on! I know what we can use. Do you?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34We can use this. Here goes!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36HORN TOOTS
0:05:36 > 0:05:38FOGHORN BLARES
0:05:38 > 0:05:42It's working! They're making a noise right back!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44FOGHORN BLARES
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Uh-oh! A dragon!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I was looking for other Vikings, not dragons!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53It's not this way, it's that way!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56We're lost, aren't we?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59They don't sound like scary dragons to me.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Come on, let's go and find out who they are.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Who's that honking? - It's me, Sid the Viking. Grr!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Sid the Viking? What kind of a nickname is that?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What do you mean?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Well, you need a proper nickname if you're going to be a Viking.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Something like, um, Olaf the Invincible or Lars the Needy.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Oh, right. What's your nickname then?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I am Bjorn the Almost Ready, son of Bjorn the Never Ready.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28So you see?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31We're getting readier! Hee-hee-hee!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Right. Well, I'll think of a good name,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37but in the meantime, can I join you on your Viking ship, please?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41No! We just don't invite any old Viking onto our longships, you know.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44You need to show me what a great Viking you are.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- And since you haven't, I'm off. - Oh, no!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I need to show Bjorn what a great Viking I am,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52so I can join his Viking crew. Erm... Oh!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Hold on! I remember! Do you? Yes, that's it!
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Vikings showed their strength by lifting heavy stones! Hey, Bjorn!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Come back, I've got something to show you.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Can you do this? Grr!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Grr!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oh, not with my back.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14But I know someone who can lift WAY bigger stones than that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Some say he is the son of Thor.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22But I say he is Sven the Weedy!
0:07:22 > 0:07:27GIANT FOOTSTEPS
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Wow. What a hairdo!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Oh, hello!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36IN DEEP VOICE: I will accept your challenge, stranger.
0:07:36 > 0:07:42Tell me, if you're SO strong, why do they call you Sven the Weedy?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Well, when I was younger, I was very weedy,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49but then I joined Viking Gym, and I never looked back.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54But the Weedy name, it sort of stuck. Oh, I see you've started without me.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I'm pretty sure I can match that. Hm.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Hup!
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Hm. OK. Let's see if you can lift one up as big as this.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Hu-yah!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Gah!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21HE GROANS
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Easy!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Right. This calls for the big one.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Watch and learn.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39HE GROANS
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Agh! Oh!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Ow, that's got to hurt!
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Don't try this at home!
0:08:44 > 0:08:49That's it. I've had enough of being a tough, super-strong Viking.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53My rock-lifting days are over. Ooh! Oh-oh!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Bye, Sven!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I beat him! Maybe I'm strong enough to be a Viking after all!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Oh, looks like I'm going to need a new champion.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Yep.- You're a pretty good stone-lifter, aren't you?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Maybe you'll make a fine Viking after all.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14You can come on board, Sid the Strong.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Did you hear that? Sid the Strong!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I like the sound of that!
0:09:19 > 0:09:20# Let's play! #
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So...welcome aboard my longship, Sid the Strong.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Well, it's great to be on board the longship, Bjorn.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32So what exactly is a longship?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Well, it's a long, wooden ship
0:09:34 > 0:09:38that we Vikings use to sail across the seas and along rivers in.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Oh, right. So why the dragon at the front?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Why? When people see that dragon, they run away screaming.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47It's used for scaring people.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Don't tell Bjorn, but I was pretty scared.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Pah! That dragon didn't scare me, for I am a Viking! Grr!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Good to have you on board with us, Sid the Strong.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01So, um, where are we actually heading, Bjorn?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Well, we've been trading food
0:10:03 > 0:10:06and clothing in a little place called England,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10and now we're heading home across the great sea to Scandinavia,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13where I'll be reunited with my beautiful wife,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Helga the Shouty, and our new baby.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Here's a picture of them.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Aren't they lovely?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Aw. Look, he's got your eyes!
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So how long will it take to get to Scandinavia?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33You'll have to ask Hagar the Half-Asleep. He's the navigator.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35He's at the front of the ship.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Right. Let's go and find out.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42HE CLEARS THROAT
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Hagar?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44HAGAR SNORES
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, Hagar!
0:10:46 > 0:10:47What is it?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Hello. I'm Sid the Strong,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and I just wondered how long this journey's going to take.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Well, we've been travelling for about, uh...
0:10:57 > 0:11:02..a week now, so with the wind in the right direction, about, uh...
0:11:04 > 0:11:05..a day.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Oh! Perfect!
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Give me a hand on rolling the sail, will you, Sid the Strong?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13OK. Coming.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Wow. What a whopper of a sail.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Yes, it's so we can catch the wind to sail across the sea.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Next stop, home.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29So what do you do to pass time on these ships then, Bjorn?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Play cards? I Spy?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Well, it is a great Viking tradition for us to sing while we are sailing.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38# Oh!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40# A Viking life is the life for me
0:11:40 > 0:11:42# A Viking life upon the sea
0:11:42 > 0:11:44# With the wind in my sail I feel so free
0:11:44 > 0:11:48# We'll get home in time for the tea. #
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Wow, Bjorn. That was pretty cool.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53You've got something going on there.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Oh, look! The fog has lifted. - Oh, great bushy beard! So it has!
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- But it doesn't seem like we've gone anywhere.- No.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Oh, no! The wind has stopped blowing the sail!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08That's why we are not moving!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Oh! That's no good, is it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Oh, no! How are we going to get home to Scandinavia,
0:12:14 > 0:12:18back to my beautiful wife, Helga, and our baby boy?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Oh, no. Surely there's a way to get across the ocean
0:12:21 > 0:12:24even if there is no wind to blow the sail.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Hold on! I remember, do you?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Yes, that's it!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Viking longships used sails, but when there wasn't any wind,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35they used oars to get them across the sea!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Oars! We need to use the oars!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Why didn't I think of that? Oars!
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yes, why didn't you think of that?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Here you go, Sid the Strong, you should get us home in no time.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Why me?- Thunderous lightning! Because you are Sid the Strong!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Oh, yes. Right.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Let me sing you a little song to get you in the mood.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Ah. Great.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03# Oh!
0:13:03 > 0:13:07# A rowing we must go To get our ship to shore
0:13:07 > 0:13:09# We've been afloat for a week and day
0:13:09 > 0:13:13# And it's really quite a bore. #
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Mm. Bjorn?
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Mm?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20We're going round in circles and we need to go forward.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Oh, yeah. Well spotted!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26How did they ever get to England in the first place?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I reckon we need to use our oars at the same time.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think you're right, Sid the Strong!
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Good. That means I won't be the only person
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- doing all the work around here. - Ready?- Ready!
0:13:38 > 0:13:40# Oh!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43# A rowing we must go To get our ship to shore
0:13:43 > 0:13:45# We've been away for a week and a day
0:13:45 > 0:13:48# And I can't take much more. #
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I don't feel like Sid the Strong any more.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55More like Sid the Shattered!
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I'm going to go and see Hagar,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01find out how much longer this is going to take.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06HAGAR SNORES
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Hagar.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Hagar!
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Agh! Are we nearly there yet?
0:14:12 > 0:14:15That's what I'm supposed to be asking you.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- HAGAR SNORES - He really is Hagar the Half-Asleep!
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Will I ever see my Helga the Shouty again? Not to mention my baby boy.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- Oh. What's your boy's name? - We haven't decided yet.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32We shall name him properly when I get back.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33If I ever get back!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Oh, I'm really hungry.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Have you got anything to eat?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Funny you should ask.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43We Vikings transport all kinds of things on our voyages like, um,
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- turnips, wheat, barley, carrots, cabbage and peas.- Oh, yes, please!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Bring it on!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Sorry. We ate it all on our way here. - You mean you have no food?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- No, sorry, I do have some bread.- Ah!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06That is our famous Viking bread.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's made from flour, peas, and tree bark.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13A tough bread for a tough Viking, Sid the Strong.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16That really is tough and strong.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Oh! Hello, birdie!
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Want some bread?
0:15:21 > 0:15:22No?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Can't say I blame you.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27So how am I going to get Bjorn home
0:15:27 > 0:15:29to his wife, Helga, and his baby boy?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Oh, hold on! I remember, do you?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Yes, that's it!
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Viking sailors knew they were near to land
0:15:38 > 0:15:41when they saw birds flying in the sky. Bjorn!
0:15:41 > 0:15:45We need to follow that seagull. We're getting near to land!
0:15:45 > 0:15:51Thor's drawers! You're right, Sid the Strong! Let's start rowing.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52# Oh!
0:15:52 > 0:15:55# A rowing we must go To get our ship to shore
0:15:55 > 0:16:00# We've been afloat for a week and a day and our hands are getting sore. #
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Oh, look!
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Over there!
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- Yes!- We did it! I'm home!
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Thanks for getting Bjorn back to me, Sid the Strong.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It was my pleasure, Helga.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It's so good to be back home here with my family.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23And I've got something very important to tell you, Sid the Strong.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- Oh? What's that?- As a thank you, we decided to name our son Sid!
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Oh, after me? Oh, thanks!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yes. Meet Sid the Squidgy.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- BABY GURGLES - Isn't he cute?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- And as a thank you, I'd like to give you this gift.- Oh, no.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- Really, there's no need. - I insist! Bjorn said you loved it.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49And this loaf is extra tough, for an extra tough Viking,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53just like you, Sid the Strong!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Oh, well... Thanks! Well, we did it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58But we'd never have done it without
0:16:58 > 0:17:01remembering everything we needed to know.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Vikings showed off their strength by lifting heavy stones.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Viking longships had sails, but when there wasn't any wind,
0:17:12 > 0:17:13they used oars.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18And Viking sailors knew land was nearby
0:17:18 > 0:17:20when they saw birds in the sky.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Well, it's time I went home. Bye!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Farewell, Sid the Strong!
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Oh, Sid! Oh, I'm so hungry. - Oh, me too!
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- How was your Viking adventure? - It was brilliant!
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I got to sail on a Viking longship across the great ocean.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51They called me Sid the Strong. They even named a Viking baby after me.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- That sounds amazing! But now it's time for our sandwich.- Yes!
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Oh, no! What's the most essential part of any sandwich?
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Bread?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Bread. I've forgotten to get bread.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- How am I going to make a sandwich now?- That's OK!
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- We can use the Viking bread that I brought back.- Amazing!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Mm. What's Viking bread like?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Erm... It's got a taste of its own.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Playing Vikings was great fun. What do you like to play?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26When I play jesters, I pull silly faces like this.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I like playing ringmaster and saying this...
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Roll up, roll up!
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Moo! That's the noise that I make when I'm playing cows.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I love to play queens, and I wave like this!
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- It's fun to play! - Start playing today!- See you soon!
0:18:55 > 0:18:57See you soon!
