0:00:23 > 0:00:26CHILDREN YELL
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Sssh! BELL RINGS
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Welcome to the School of Silence.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36This is where the noisiest children
0:00:36 > 0:00:39are sent for intensive silence training.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Today four new pupils have got to prove they have got what it takes
0:00:42 > 0:00:45to be absolutely silent after just one day's training.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Can they do it? Let's go and find out.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Sssh!
0:00:49 > 0:00:53You should cover your ears. This raucous bunch are from Bristol.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55They're having their noise levels assessed
0:00:55 > 0:00:57by the headmistress and the form tutor.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Up to the front.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Right. You. Name.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03RJ!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06RJ is the first member of the team and makes so much
0:01:06 > 0:01:09noise at home, he drives his little brother up the wall.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Next! You! What's your name?
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Kira!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Kira loves music and likes nothing more
0:01:15 > 0:01:19than cranking up her favourite tunes full blast.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Name!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Connor.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Connor loves to wind up his mum
0:01:24 > 0:01:26by making lots of unnecessary noise. His mum is hoping
0:01:26 > 0:01:30the school will change his ways.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31You, name!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Lyndon.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Lyndon is a keen boxer and, as part of his training he loves to shout
0:01:36 > 0:01:40at the top of his voice and at any other time, too, by the looks of it.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I have a feeling it's going to be
0:01:44 > 0:01:46a tough day for the teachers at this school.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Right, get out! That's it! Yes, get out, all of you!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54THEY YELL
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Sssh! Here's how the day works. The new pupils
0:01:58 > 0:02:01have three challenging classes to learn how to be silent
0:02:01 > 0:02:04followed by the crucial final exam which will determine
0:02:04 > 0:02:07whether they graduate or will be expelled.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09If they are too noisy...
0:02:09 > 0:02:10THEY CHATTER
0:02:10 > 0:02:13THEY GIGGLE
0:02:13 > 0:02:19..I will know about it, thanks to this device, the Gobstop 2000 -
0:02:19 > 0:02:22the latest in noise monitoring technology.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26If they pass they will graduate and receive
0:02:26 > 0:02:30the ultimate reward, the Golden Gobstopper!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33If they fail to keep THAT shut...
0:02:33 > 0:02:37then I will have no choice but to expel them.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Ssh! Before we begin, I must ensure the school has been hushed down.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44KLAXON BLARES
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Seven seconds to hush down.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Seven...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50six...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51five...
0:02:51 > 0:02:52four...
0:02:52 > 0:02:53three...
0:02:53 > 0:02:55two...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56one!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Sshh!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01SILENCE
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Ssh! It's time for their silent training to start
0:03:06 > 0:03:09with their first class of the day with Mr Gross.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Sssh!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Hands up who is aware
0:03:12 > 0:03:15of my favourite period in history?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Any guesses?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19The Ice Age.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Do you know why? Very, very quiet.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Come in.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Oh, good grief. Sit down please.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Right, I am Mr Gross. I am your teacher for general studies.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39This lesson is the first lesson
0:03:39 > 0:03:43in your silent training and it's very important
0:03:43 > 0:03:46because it will prepare you for the rest of the day
0:03:46 > 0:03:48leading up to your final exam in the gym
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and if you fail that,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52you will be expelled.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Remember Miss Gobstop is listening at all times
0:03:56 > 0:03:58on these little microphones.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03And if you make too much noise she will register it on her Gobstop 2000.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Do you think you can be silent? ALL: No!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Right. Well, that's not a good start, is it?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Silent training is about to begin.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Squirty Santa!
0:04:14 > 0:04:19You have 30 seconds to turn your chosen teammate into a Squirty Santa.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Use a bowl of shaving foam to give them a big beard.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Fill the Santa's hat with the rest of the foam
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and stick it on their head to finish.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32And all of this must be done in absolute...
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Silence? Yes, indeed. Correct.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38This jar of gobstoppers will determine
0:04:38 > 0:04:41which child is doing each test.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43OK, Connor,
0:04:43 > 0:04:44you can go first. OK.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Let's pick a gobstopper and see who's doing the task.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50In your own time.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Red. Oh, RJ, what a shame.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57How do you feel about being a squirty Santa, RJ?
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Wicked. Wicked? Cool! Yes. Word up!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Never mind.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Are you ready? Mm-hm.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Your time starts...
0:05:10 > 0:05:12now!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15OK, here we go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Pretty good to begin with.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Not a peep from anyone. Amazing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Filling the hat now.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Lots of self-control from RJ,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39who's absolutely covered in shaving foam.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Ho-ho-ho! TIMER RINGS
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Time up! Did you enjoy that, RJ? Yes. You did?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, I didn't think that was too bad.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52You're the strangest looking Santa I've ever seen.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Pretty good so far. Can Mr Gross make them crack?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's about to get tougher.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Teddy...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Trump.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08The chosen child will have 30 seconds to give
0:06:08 > 0:06:10my teddy bear a lovely, nice cuddle.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And you'll have to do it in absolute silence.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Shouldn't be difficult. Lyndon?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Let's see who's hugging the teddy.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Pick out a gobstopper.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Remember, it might even be you. Green! Kira!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Delightful! Have you ever hugged a teddy before, dear?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Yeah. So you should be an expert. Let's see if you can do it quietly
0:06:30 > 0:06:32and that goes for the rest of you, especially Santa.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Ho-ho-ho! Ssh!
0:06:34 > 0:06:39So, Kira, what I want you to do is give him a lovely hug like this.
0:06:39 > 0:06:45Huggy-wuggy woo! Huggy pie! Huggy pie!
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Excuse me. Forgot where I was for a moment.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Remember, Miss Gobstop is listening. Your time
0:06:53 > 0:06:54starts now.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Seems easy so far.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03TEDDY: PHHHRPPPTTT!
0:07:03 > 0:07:06This is a tough one. PHHHRRRPPPTTT!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09But they are holding it together.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10PHHHRRPT!
0:07:10 > 0:07:14This is a first. PPHHRRPPTTT!
0:07:18 > 0:07:19PRRPPPT! SHE CHUCKLES
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Little chuckle from Kira there.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Still good.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26PPRRRPPTT! TIMER RINGS
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Spartacus! You naughty boy!
0:07:29 > 0:07:33You hugged him too hard - you're squeezing out too many trumps. Oh!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I really caught that one right in the face.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40This team are doing well. What has Mr Gross got up his sleeve?
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Ssh! Say...
0:07:44 > 0:07:45..what?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Say what? Say what?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52What? No, no, no. It's called, "say what". It's not an instruction.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56You'll have to hold up speech bubbles for the chosen pupil to read
0:07:56 > 0:07:59in silence for 30 seconds.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Let's pick a gobstopper, Kira.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Who could it be? Right, you picked yourself.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Delightful. Ssh!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Are you ready? Yes!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12There we go, that's better. Your time
0:08:12 > 0:08:14starts now.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21No, Kira is like stone.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Not even a smirk.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28OK, next speech bubble.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Nothing. Oh, no, a giggle.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36"My feet smell like baked beans" - nice!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42OK, last one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Oh, that got her!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47TIMER RINGS
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Good grief, boy!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Well, I finally got you.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Do you know what? You are one of the quietest classes I've ever had.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Unfortunately, one of your team let you down.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06I wonder who it was?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Yes, you, you insolent child!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11You sniggered all the way through
0:09:11 > 0:09:14those ridiculous speech bubbles.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Get out of my class!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Dismissed! Ho ho ho!
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Out you go.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Could have been a good start for this bunch
0:09:24 > 0:09:26if Kira and Connor weren't in the class! Giggle,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29giggle, giggle. At least Santa kept it shut.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Your first lesson's out of the way.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35How do you think it went? OK. Yeah?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37What did you do, Connor? I had a bowl of foam.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I had to put it all over RJ's face
0:09:39 > 0:09:41and put a hat on him to make him like Santa.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I bet you hated that. Are you ready for the canteen - Nora and Britney?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47ALL: Yes! Will you win the Golden Gobstopper?
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Yes! Wicked! Off you go.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Through those doors. Good luck. See you in a bit.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59MISS GOBSTOP ON PA: Attention! Attention! Pupils are reminded
0:09:59 > 0:10:02that this is the School of Silence. Not the school
0:10:02 > 0:10:05of whispering to your mates in the cloakroom. Yes, you know who you are.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08With one class down,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11it's time for some more silent training.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Coo-ee! It's lunchtime!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Hello, my dears. How are you?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24My name is Mrs Nora Nugget but you can call me Nora, dear.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26This is my assistant, Britney.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28ALL: Hi!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Well, we are going to be feeding you a number of delicious items
0:10:31 > 0:10:33from our menu this afternoon.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37There is something I'd like to bring to your attention before we start.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Can you see the "silence" sign on the back wall? ALL: Yes.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42If you see that flashing red at any point
0:10:42 > 0:10:44it means you're making far too much noise
0:10:44 > 0:10:48and it will have set off Miss Gobstop's Gobstop 2000,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51which she pays very close attention to in her office.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53What tasty treat is first on the menu?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Doughnut dip. Right, now,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58so the chosen teammate
0:10:58 > 0:11:02will be trying to fish the doughnut out of the sugar.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03All right? Right, then.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Let's find out who's going to be doing it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Who'd like to pick? I think ladies first.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Kira, Would you like to pick the first coloured gobstopper?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Who's it going to be?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Kira, you've picked yourself!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Isn't that marvellous?
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Please remember this must be done, as I have said, in absolute silence.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31So, your 30 seconds, Kira, my dear...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35starts now.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37And she's off.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Kira really needs to do well in this one
0:11:41 > 0:11:44after her outbursts in the last class.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54A little chuckle but well controlled.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Quiet as a mouse.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Nibbling on a sticky doughnut.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Nearly there.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06TIMER RINGS That's time, Kira, dear.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Well done.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Complete silence.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11You're brilliant, aren't you?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13What a fabulous class you are.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Can they keep up the good work?
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Feed...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19a...
0:12:19 > 0:12:21friend.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22KIRA: Oh, no.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24All right? Now, in this game
0:12:24 > 0:12:27you will each be given a very long spoon
0:12:27 > 0:12:30and you will be feeding each other chocolate mousse.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32So you'll all...
0:12:32 > 0:12:36I don't think we need gobstoppers, Britney, dear. They're all playing.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Thank you, Britney, dear.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Ssh!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Are you all ready? Yes?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Are you ready? Let me hear you say, "Yeah!" ALL: Yeah! Marvellous.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50You have 30 silent seconds, my dears,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52starting from now.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Will they crack?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Big laugh there from Kira.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Some definite sniggering going on.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Yep, definitely some chuckles.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19They just can't seem to control the giggling.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23TIMER RINGS
0:13:23 > 0:13:28That is time. What a mess!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30And there was quite a lot of giggling, wasn't there?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34For your silent training, you'll have to work harder than you did there.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Well, I wish you very, very good luck
0:13:37 > 0:13:40this afternoon in Mrs Bunsen's science class and good luck
0:13:40 > 0:13:41for your final exam.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Right, off you go, then, dears.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Cheerio!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48MISS GOBSTOP: Lunchtime.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51What a wonderful beginning and what a TERRIBLE end!
0:13:51 > 0:13:56The Gobstop 2000 was going...bananas. What were they doing in there?
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Get me Nora Nugget!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So, you've met dinner ladies Nora and Britney, how was that?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It was weird. Very. Yeah?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10I think things fell apart in the feed a friend test, didn't they?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14When I was feeding Lyndon my mouth was eating one side,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and I was like poking him in the mouth and in the head.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Was it the idea to make RJ look like Fred Flintstone?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Is that what you were trying to do? Looking good!
0:14:22 > 0:14:25You're off to science next with Miss Bunsen.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It's all down to how silent you can be. It's just testing you
0:14:28 > 0:14:32before your final exam when it all comes into play. Ready to go? Yes!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Science lesson, Mrs Bunsen. Good luck, off you go. See you in a bit.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Thanks.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44MISS GOBSTOP ON PA: Attention! This is the School of Silence.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49A reminder that all pupils attending Colonel Kittens' Soldier Club
0:14:49 > 0:14:51should march on tiptoes.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's time for more silent training
0:14:54 > 0:14:58in the last class of the day before their final exam. Sssh!

0:15:20 > 0:15:25This science class is to be conducted in complete...silence.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Good.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30What does Miss Bunsen have in store for the giggling team from Bristol?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Star...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34suit.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Star suit. One of you
0:15:38 > 0:15:42will be getting dressed up in my special, patented suit.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46That will represent the Sun and the others
0:15:46 > 0:15:50will be throwing the planets to the Sun.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Hopefully, it will demonstrate the gravity within our universe.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Let's see who's going to be doing it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Here we go. Let Santa pick.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Here we go.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Oh! Oh... Oh!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It's your buddy, Kira.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Oh!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Oh, no!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Good aim,
0:16:43 > 0:16:44but they are definitely
0:16:44 > 0:16:46finding it a challenge to keep quiet.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48BOYS GIGGLE
0:16:48 > 0:16:51They're getting worse!
0:16:53 > 0:16:54And time... TIMER RINGS
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Time! Oh!
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Very good, the experiment, that is. But there was far too much giggling
0:17:01 > 0:17:03and talking all the way through it!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06My goodness!
0:17:06 > 0:17:08You seem to be getting worse!
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Not better.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Oh dear. This is not how it's supposed to work.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Rain...

0:17:20 > 0:17:21CHILDREN SNORT AND SNIGGER
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Rain catcher. What you have to do
0:17:24 > 0:17:27is one of you will be up here
0:17:27 > 0:17:33with boxing gloves on and you will have to catch the raindrops
0:17:33 > 0:17:36thrown by somebody else. How exciting! Now,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40who is going to be the one catching the raindrops?
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Connor, why don't you pick? There we go.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yes. Oooh!
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Unlucky, Connor, it's you. Hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Here we go.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Lyndon, we don't have very long. You have to throw these raindrops
0:17:55 > 0:17:58and you, Connor, have to catch them. Ready?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Your silence...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03starts...now!
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Good catch and very silent.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Oh, a chuckle from Kira.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15And again.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Connor's doing well.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Lyndon's getting through those raindrops quickly.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26And it's all over. TIMER BUZZES
0:18:26 > 0:18:27That's it!
0:18:27 > 0:18:31So much giggling!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I thought my eardrums'd burst, honestly!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37You're going to have to pull your socks up
0:18:37 > 0:18:40if you want to pass Colonel Kittens' final exam.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Do you think you'll actually get your Golden Gobstopper at the end?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46ALL: Yeah.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Do you? Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51You'll have to be quieter than that because Colonel Kittens
0:18:51 > 0:18:54just won't put up with it, he really won't.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Well, that's the end of my class.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Off you go then.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Yeah, I know. I couldn't stop laughing with that pink hair.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06MISS GOBSTOP: As Miss Bunsen
0:19:06 > 0:19:09continually says, "Science in silence."
0:19:09 > 0:19:11What a shame that didn't get through
0:19:11 > 0:19:13to Connor and Lyndon! A terrible racket!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17That was Miss Bunsen and science. How did it go?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Good. How do you think you did?
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Getting better at staying silent? Yeah.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25From Mr Gross's class, you were quite quiet in there.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And then with Nora and Britney, you got a little bit louder,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32a little bit noisier. But Mr Gross is scary. He is a bit scary.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Is that why you were so quiet in his class?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39What's going to happen in your next exam? It's your final exam
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and you must as quiet as you can to pass. We'll do it.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Going to do it? No...
0:19:45 > 0:19:47If anyone's going to do it, we'll do it.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50You are going to meet to Colonel Kittens for your final exam.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Come on. Are you going to win the Golden Gobstopper? ALL: Yes!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Best of luck. He's waiting for you out there.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Silence is the key.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03MISS GOBSTOP ON PA: Attention. Attention.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06This is the School of Silence. Pupils are reminded that in future,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10the menu item bubble and squeak will now simply be known as bubble.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16They've had their three classes and now it's time for their final exam.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Colonel Kittens will really put them to the test. To graduate
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and win the Golden Gobstopper, they must keep THAT shut.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28If they set off the Gobstop 2000 three times, they will be EXPELLED!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Their silent training
0:20:30 > 0:20:32has all been building up to this -
0:20:32 > 0:20:33their final exam
0:20:33 > 0:20:34with Colonel Kittens.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Right, you noisy little nitwits,
0:20:37 > 0:20:42I'm Colonel Kittens and it's my job to make you crack.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44This is your final exam.
0:20:44 > 0:20:51If you set off the Gobstop 2000 three times, you will be expelled.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54If you manage to keep quiet and make less than three noises,
0:20:54 > 0:20:58you will pass and graduate,
0:20:58 > 0:21:02winning the Golden Gobstopper.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03How does that sound?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06ALL: Amazing! Right.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Behind me are the instruments of your downfall.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Believe you me, all of these will be coming your way,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16during which you must try not to squeal, scream,
0:21:16 > 0:21:20laugh, cry, shout or discuss
0:21:20 > 0:21:23the horrible things that are occurring to you with each other.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Do you think you can do it? ALL: Yes, sir!
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Yes, Colonel! Yes, Colonel! Good.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I don't think you can. So let's find out who's right, shall we?
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Are you ready to suffer in silence? Yes, Colonel!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I don't think so.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Let's find out.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Your time starts...NOW!
0:21:48 > 0:21:52He's going for the old favourite - the tickling stick.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Will it get them?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08No, they are staying strong. Good start.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Here comes the orange splat.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17It's warm.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Oh. A bit of talking there.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Who gets the leftovers, do we think?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Who's the most vulnerable? Lyndon?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Looking for signs.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Nothing. Good.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Colonel's going to have to step it up.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39A jug of yellow goo, just for you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Silly string.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Like an avalanche on Connor's head, but still nothing.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54How about some gunge trifle?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58It's a double whammy,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Kira and RJ. Still not a sound, though.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04The girly feathers.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Oh. Was that a snigger?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19TIMER RINGS Oh, time up.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Right, time up!
0:23:21 > 0:23:25How do you think you did? Amazing. Good. Pretty good?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Yeah. Can't see, though. Sorry? Can't see.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32You can't see, though. Well, you can't have everything, can you, boy?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Do you know, I don't think that was half bad.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37But did you set off the Gobstop 2000?
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Did you do it once, twice or even three times?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46What do you reckon, Lyndon?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Once. Once?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I think I've had just about enough of you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I'm sick of the sight of ya.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Get out of my gym!
0:23:57 > 0:23:59You still here, boy?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05So that's the final exam over and done with. Is it what you expected?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07No. No! For exams at school,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10do you have a pen and paper? Yeah. Well, not at the School of Silence,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13you have gunge and rubber chickens. How do you think you did?
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Good. Good. Are you going to graduate?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Yeah. Yeah. Would you like to find out? Yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22OK, Miss Gobstop's waiting for you, off you go.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30They look nervous, and they should be.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33It's time to find out how they did in their final exam.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48You've been sent here...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51because you're all far too noisy.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56And I've put you through silent training today.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01How do you think you did? Amazing. Good?
0:25:01 > 0:25:06Well, let's take a look at your report, shall we? RJ...
0:25:06 > 0:25:09or should I say, Santa Claus?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Nice beard.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Quite silent, I was impressed.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16You seem to like beards.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21You had a chocolate one in the canteen too.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Connor. A bit of a giggler.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32But you managed to control yourself, well done.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Lyndon. Look into my eyes, Lyndon.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Could do better, a lot of laughing.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46We pick it all up on the Gobstop 2000, you know?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Oh!
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Kira, the only girl.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You did quite well at first.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Started to crack in Mr Gross's class, didn't you?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05..Yes. I hear it all.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07And steadily got worse.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09PHHHRRRPPPTTT! PPRRRPPPT!
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Oh, no!
0:26:12 > 0:26:15So how did you do in your final exam?
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Good.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Did you fail,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21or can I graduate you?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Graduate?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Graduate?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I can reveal,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29unfortunately,
0:26:29 > 0:26:33for some, fortunately for others, you graduated.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Oh, the silent cheer. It's like music to my ears.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41And I can now present you...
0:26:45 > 0:26:48..with the Golden Gobstopper.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49Isn't it pretty?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Yes. And so very silent.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57No, not a peep.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59RJ, it's nearly the same size as you, be careful.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05So, get out, spread the silence.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09(Don't say a word.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11(Tiptoes.)
