00:01This is mad!
00:03At a time where young and old have never been further apart
00:06I'm going the wrong way
00:08Six young Brits who have never travelled alone before
00:11Nothing like Wales
00:12Are being paired up with six pensioners who thought they would never travel again
00:16You're my team mate!
00:18To embark on an epic treasure hunt across Japan
00:21Oh yes!
00:22Bloody hell, this is going to be hard
00:24In a social experiment to challenge assumptions
00:28And prove that age is just a number
00:31She's a bit too old
00:32I beg your pardon
00:33They'll need to work together as one
00:36Colin, you're amazing!
00:38Their journey so far has taken them right across the country
00:41He found a secret door!
00:44Following clues
00:45There I see a pin
00:46Throwing themselves into the local culture
00:48Amazing!
00:50And taking on challenges
00:51Oh no, it's an octopus
00:53As they get ever closer
00:55Yay! Our full house!
00:57To a life-changing £50,000 cash prize
01:01Somebody has to go home
01:03But of the six teams that started in the competition
01:06Sorry mate
01:07That's it
01:08Now only four remain
01:09It's getting very close
01:11But we're here to win it
01:12Yeah, let's hope we can
01:13The teams have arrived in Osaka
01:24Japan's third largest city
01:26And their last location before the final
01:29I just love this place
01:32It seems more sort of out there
01:35Renowned for its vibrant food scene
01:37The city is often referred to as the nation's kitchen
01:41I've not seen a McDonald's though
01:43I've seen a Taco Bell
01:44So that could be the new food for me
01:46Tacos?
01:47Taco Bell, yeah
01:48We're in Japan, mate!
01:49The four remaining teams are all desperate to secure a place in the final
01:53I mean, yeah, there's no reason why we can't win
01:57I think
01:58It's written in the stars as they say
02:00Love it
02:01Love it
02:02Love your confidence
02:03Lawrence is more optimistic than I am
02:06But we have consistently scored the lowest number of coins
02:10So I do have nerves about being so close to the final
02:14Oh!
02:15Oh!
02:16Oh!
02:17That again
02:18Oh no
02:19In a competition twist
02:21The teams have a unique chance to win more coins than ever before
02:25Ten coins is a big change, isn't it?
02:28More coins brings more pressure
02:30Because obviously the other teams can get more coins
02:33The pair who earn the lowest number of coins will be eliminated
02:36The remaining pairs will proceed to the final destination
02:39And compete for a prize of up to £50,000
02:43I can't even imagine to have that in my bank account
02:46Find the master of canned food
02:49Food?
02:50What if it's seafood?
02:51Like tin of sardines
02:52Don't worry about that
02:53Don't worry about that
02:54As well as extra coins on offer
02:56She might have
02:57What the teams don't yet realise
03:00That direction?
03:01Over there
03:02Is that they're all searching for the same pin in the same location
03:06It doesn't really help us
03:08It's all in Japanese
03:09Where they'll meet to compete head to head for the first time
03:13Ah, there's a pin
03:14Canning
03:15Speciality Shop and Bar
03:17Oh wow
03:18Mr. Kanso is one of the city's most unusual eateries
03:25A cafe with over 300 tins of food from around the world
03:29Hello, thank you
03:31Unique to Japan, canned food bars give customers an opportunity to sample some rather peculiar culinary delights
03:38There's all sorts
03:39There's all sorts
03:40A can of cake
03:41A can of cake
03:42A can of cake?
03:43You've got lots of funky stuff here, innit?
03:45Like food and drinks and in the shops
03:47It's nuts, man
03:48It's weird
03:49There it is
03:51Oh my god
03:52Oh my god
03:53In this challenge, their willingness to try unusual Japanese food
03:58Hi
03:59Will be put to the test
04:00Why are we all together? I don't know
04:03As they taste five mystery cans from the shops shelves
04:07I'm scared, I don't want to try canned food
04:09And try to identify the main ingredient
04:13Often when I was growing up, we'd have canned food
04:16Oh, please
04:17Is that a bear?
04:18I'm not eating a bear
04:19It's going to be the worst challenge ever
04:21Oh, fucking shit
04:22They've not even got no hinds
04:25I gag very easily
04:27The most exotic food I've ever tried
04:29Oh, I'd say battered fish from the fish shop
04:32100%
04:33Because I hate fish
04:34Because it's covered in batter
04:35You can't really taste the fish too much
04:37I ate the bat and I left the fish
04:43The younger team members must overcome their food fears
04:49And select what they think is in each can
04:53Why am I shaking?
04:55Each correct answer will earn them a coin
04:57And an advantage over the other teams
05:00Smells nice
05:02Smells nice, Rosie
05:03What planet are you on?
05:04Oh, it's crunchy
05:08Have to eat it
05:09Yeah, we do
05:10I'm having another one
05:12It's not bad, is it?
05:14What do you think it might be?
05:16I don't know
05:18I think just that
05:21Radish
05:22Radish?
05:23Oh, no
05:24Why does that look like shit?
05:28Oh!
05:29Smells like cat food
05:30Are you gonna taste it?
05:31I don't want to taste it
05:35Ew, that's rank
05:37Mmm!
05:38Tastes like pate
05:39Crab guts
05:41Crab guts
05:42Guts
05:43Anything and everything you wouldn't put in a tin
05:45Was inside a tin
05:46It was absolutely rancid
05:48It wasn't actually that bad
05:50The crab innards would have been lovely on a cracker
05:53Oof!
05:55Do you have a taste?
05:57Do I want a taste?
05:58Yeah, do you want a taste?
05:59I'm no pussy
06:00Get it in my car
06:02Me being in Japan
06:04Half of the food's all raw
06:05Like seafood
06:06And the noodles
06:07It's not like a pot noodle, is it?
06:09But now
06:10Now
06:11I am open to try new stuff
06:15After three cans
06:17Egg
06:18A coin is yet to be scored
06:20Egg
06:21Egg, give it over
06:23That was disgusting
06:25And for the youngsters
06:26Look at that
06:28The fourth tin might be the worst yet
06:33Oh, Barbara
06:35Try it
06:37Oh, I can't
06:40I've got a leg stuck in my mouth
06:43Most of the teams have opted for locusts
06:46While Rosie and Laurence have booked the trend
06:49And gone for crickets
06:51Locusts
06:53Yes!
06:55Meaning they're the only team not to score
06:58Ooh
07:00But there's one more can to turn things around
07:02Oh my God
07:04Like, absolutely disgusting
07:07That looks like mushroom to me
07:10I don't think it's going to be that one
07:12No, no, no
07:13You know what, it might even be that one
07:18Eel Reba
07:20Val and Aaron were the only pair to correctly pick eel
07:24Boom, boom, boom
07:26Meaning they come out on top with two coins
07:30Colin and Charlotte and Barbara and Katie have earned one coin
07:34Whilst Rosie and Laurence
07:36Finish the game with nothing
07:39That's it for us then
07:41Yeah
07:43It was hard that, it was really hard
07:45And there's still a chance to get five coins in the next round so
07:48See you later
07:50Bye
07:52It was, yeah, difficult
07:54The nerves are certainly kicking in now, we're getting closer to the end
07:57As the only team with no coins, Rosie and Laurence now face an uphill battle to secure a place in the final
08:03Obviously we're at the bottom of the pile
08:06Yeah, I mean it puts us in a bit of a sticky position doesn't it really
08:10Yes, yes
08:12But there are still five more coins up for grabs in their individual task
08:15Here we go, so it says go to Minow and look for a place to set your goals
08:23Nothing springs to mind with that one
08:26I don't know, maybe like Temple
08:28Don't want to go home
08:29Excuse me
08:30I feel like there's so much to see
08:31Minow
08:33Yeah, like the way direction
08:35Obviously still getting to know Rosie as well
08:37I don't know
08:39Okay
08:41So I feel really tense going into the next challenge
08:43We have zero coins
08:44We've just got to do what we can really and hope to stay
08:48You know how to get to Minow?
08:50Ooh, great
08:52Okay, perfect, no that's fine, thank you
08:54Please be right here
08:58A 40 minute train journey north of Osaka
09:01leads to Minow Forest
09:05And nestled in its hills lies the Katsuoji Temple
09:08which has stood for over a thousand years
09:13Wow, look at that
09:14Oh, whoa
09:15That's insane
09:17Hello
09:18Hello
09:19This is the place to promise to yourself
09:23Whatever your goal is
09:25Sometime in the future, sooner or later
09:28We have to end our lifetime journey
09:31So we cannot waste even a day
09:33Yes, every day is special
09:35Every day, okay
09:36The temple is covered in thousands of Daruma dolls
09:40Known as symbols of good fortune and granted wishes
09:44You need to talk to yourself
09:47You know you, okay?
09:49What is your long time goal?
09:51Okay?
09:53Visitors write down their life goals
09:55In the hope of manifesting future success
09:58And then you can hang the wooden plate to there
10:03Oh, lovely
10:04Yeah
10:05Do your utmost to live the life that you wish to lead
10:08What did you write on your one?
10:10I wrote
10:11I wish to find a great love again
10:14As good as I had with my husband, Hank
10:16Soft
10:17My husband died suddenly, six years ago
10:29Broke my heart
10:31Since then I've gone everywhere on my own
10:34I have been lonely
10:35I have been lonely
10:37And I do feel that I've got a lot of love to give to somebody
10:40Oh, totally, 100%
10:42I can see that
10:43I would like to be loved again
10:45You're more than a lover, Rosie for sure
10:47Thank you
10:49I think you're a bit biased, but thank you
10:51No, not at all biased
10:53It was a very difficult time
10:55I was devastated
10:57Everything I did was with my husband
11:00It must be difficult for sure
11:02Like, obviously I can't say I've been through similar, you know
11:05But, yeah, it must be great
11:07It's very difficult
11:09I haven't started dating
11:11I would love to meet somebody
11:13I want company
11:15I don't want to sit in the bungalow on my own
11:18But I haven't got the confidence to go and mix with people
11:22My generation, we didn't go to the pub on our own
11:26We didn't go to dances on our own
11:28We went with a partner
11:30And I think that's just the way I am
11:32It did take me quite a while to reach the point where I accepted the loss
11:39Rosie spent, like, most of her life with her husband
11:41It's touching, you know
11:43And she kind of says that she deals with loneliness
11:45She's always saying, like, oh, you make me giggle
11:47And, like, we're having a great time exploring and stuff
11:49I'd like to hope her confidence is coming back
11:51I'm here, Rosie
11:53It's like being at the park again, isn't it?
11:55I know
11:57It's sad because sometimes I don't recognise myself
11:59A hug always helps
12:01So, if I got through to the next round with Lawrence
12:04That would do my confidence so much good
12:05Back in the city centre
12:10Get into a taxi to have a keynote
12:15Do you think one of these would take us?
12:17Oh, there's one, Carl
12:19There's a taxi
12:21The other three teams are searching for their pins
12:24Oh, there's a bug on me
12:26Oh, please, don't be a baby
12:28To guide them to their individual challenges
12:31Well, it is extremely hot today
12:33We'll have to get you a fan to put up your pants
12:35Go with the flow and head to Doto Bora
12:41Oh, we're going to be on water
12:45Have you got your swimming costume?
12:46Ha ha ha
12:50Running through the heart of the city is the Yodogawa River
12:54And with a clue that hints at water
12:56It's got to be round here
12:5880-year-old Barbara and 21-year-old Katie
13:01Are boarding a boat towards Dotonburi
13:04Watch your step
13:06And despite the 59-year age gap
13:08Hello
13:10The pair have formed a close bond so far
13:12Ooh! Ha ha ha!
13:18Barbara's so full of love
13:20I feel like I've known her forever
13:22I feel like someone's taking care of me
13:25I feel like this really suits you
13:28With your little sunglasses on
13:30Katie and I get on so very well
13:33She's just a fantastic person
13:36I'm so lucky to have, you know, someone with me like her
13:43I think it shocked me how much Barbara, like, kind of talked to me
13:47And wants me to do well
13:49I can't believe how much we care for each other already, to be fair
13:53And how quick it's come along growing up
13:55I didn't really fit in with anyone
13:57I tried to make friends, but they weren't my people
14:01I kind of went through different groups as well
14:03Not just in school, outside of school
14:06But didn't fit in with any of them
14:09I felt lonely and a bit lost
14:11But with Barbara
14:13I feel like we're just best mates now
14:15I feel as if I've got someone to look out for me now
14:18Oh, and you certainly have
14:19I know it
14:20You certainly have
14:24While they enjoy their newfound friendship
14:27The driver's wearing a pin
14:28Right
14:30They've just realised the challenge might be about the journey
14:34Rather than the destination
14:36I reckon this is...
14:38This is the game
14:40I think whilst we're on here
14:42We need to observe
14:44Because it could be part of the task
14:48Oh, I'm absolutely shocking with remembering things
14:52Back in Mino Forest, at the Katsuoji Temple
14:58There's the golden pin
15:00Rosie and Lawrence have found their challenge
15:03Identify the Japanese inventors and creators
15:06Who have given their name to a product
15:08And who have the products with names derived from their own
15:11Oh my word
15:13Wow
15:15In a temple where people manifest their future success
15:17Out of ten Japanese names
15:18They must identify five who've been so successful
15:22They've become global brands
15:26My heart just fell
15:28I thought, I don't know any of these
15:30And after failing to earn a single coin in the group challenge
15:34The pressure is on
15:36Oh my word
15:38I am feeling a little bit apprehensive
15:41Wow
15:43I know the Izzy Mac is like perfume
15:45Yes, that's the only one I know
15:48Laurence and I do work very well together
15:51But we are up against people who have consistently scored five coins
15:57So I don't believe it's going to be easy
16:00So should we put the Izzy Miyake one down?
16:02Well, yes, let's...
16:04Sure
16:06Put that one there
16:08I know that that is a brand
16:10Then we have Akira Kurosawa
16:13Which doesn't mean anything to me at all
16:16No
16:17Toyota
16:18Sounds like Toyota
16:20Or is it Red Herring?
16:22This Sakamoto is ringing a bell
16:24And I can't think where it's ringing a bell from
16:26Yamaha's a motorbike
16:28Yamaha, yes
16:29It would be so, so heartbreaking to go home
16:36I would be sad for myself, obviously
16:39But I would be devastated for Lawrence
16:42Because Lawrence told me that he's not had an easy life
16:46And I think he's enjoying it so much
16:49Like Toyota, I think it's Toyota
16:51OK, let's put the doll on there
16:54I just don't want it to end, I want it to go on
16:58Casio, watches and calculators and things like that
17:03But the spelling is different
17:05They do the watches, yeah
17:07And that would make sense in terms of like Toyota, Toyota
17:11Casio, Casio, you know
17:13Yeah, if we've got it right
17:15But then, I don't know any other brands like Watanabe or Ken
17:19I'm not too sure really
17:22Er, that's a car, right?
17:25My mum had a Honda
17:27Yeah, car for sure
17:31I'm happy with at least three or five
17:33You want to be sure on all of them?
17:35Can you be sure on all of them?
17:37It's just the spellings
17:39But other than spellings, I think I'm set
17:42If you're happy and you think so
17:44I just don't want to get it wrong
17:46In the Japanese city of Osaka
18:00Got to keep looking around at everything
18:03With £50,000 at stake
18:05I still think it's that way
18:07Four teams of intergenerational couples
18:10We're going to have to get in that car
18:12Are fighting to stay in the treasure hunt
18:15I think I'm kind of sure on most now
18:18If you're happy
18:20What else could it be?
18:22At Katsuoji Temple
18:24Rosie and Lawrence are waiting to find out
18:27If they've correctly identified five Japanese names
18:30That are also global brands
18:32The nerves are certainly kicking in
18:34Now we're getting closer to the end
18:36We can see the finish line
18:38We just have to get there
18:39And after failing to earn any coins in the group tusk
18:43They're hoping to turn their fortunes around
18:48That's strange
18:50Congratulations on completing the game
18:52To find out if you have been successful
18:54Please check for coins beneath the smaller Daruma dolls
18:57Under the names you have selected
18:59Yes!
19:01How's it going?
19:03One
19:05Two
19:06Yes
19:08Three
19:10That's amazing
19:12We were so sure on this one
19:14So I'd be really shocked if we were wrong
19:16Yes
19:18I see it going
19:20That's four, right?
19:21Yes
19:22OK, so it's literally on this last one Rosie
19:29Yes!
19:30We got five man
19:32That's our first time getting five, right?
19:34That's the first time getting five
19:36Goodness, we did it
19:38Rosie and Lawrence are now back in contention
19:40With five coins
19:42It's the best chance we could possibly get today
19:44Yeah, exactly, and we've managed to get them all right
19:46And we've got all five
19:47But they'll have to wait until the coin count
19:50To know if it's enough to get through to the final
19:52It would mean so much to me
19:54To make it to the final
19:56Mostly for Lawrence
19:58Five, oh, we've actually done it
20:00Oh, he's so heavy!
20:02If we were to win
20:04I think it would just be so wonderful for him
20:06And give him so many chances in life
20:09That he perhaps hasn't had up to yet
20:11So relieved at that, Lawrence
20:13That was dope
20:15Yes!
20:17Back in the city
20:21Oh, look at the size of that apple
20:24Katie and Barbara are trying to focus on the sights
20:27Lining the Yodogawa River
20:29Right, concentrate Barbara
20:31If they want to secure a place in the final
20:34They need to remember as many of the sights as they can
20:37Everything looks the same, do you not think?
20:39I do
20:41Look at the size of it
20:43Against the modern buildings
20:44This one is so traditional
20:47Now look at this
20:49See?
20:51Do you reckon they've got Tetley?
20:53I've been trying to take it all in but it's just a whole lot of buildings
20:59Who's that geezer?
21:01The pair have arrived at Dotonburi, Osaka's canal side entertainment district
21:07This is what was on our plane
21:09And the destination of their challenge
21:12Thank you
21:14Thank you
21:16From your boat trip, can you identify which of these images are from...
21:21Osaka
21:22For every correctly identified photo, you will win a coin
21:27Oh, they photoshops us on it
21:30What you mean by that?
21:31We've put our faces on that
21:34The team now need to use their combined memories to select five photos they think show landmarks from their boat ride
21:41I have photos from Osaka, I have photos from the other trips
21:46But some of the landmarks aren't even in Japan
21:50Have a good look
21:52It's a difficult one this is
21:54This is quite odd
21:56North of the Yodogawa river
22:0271-year-old Val and 18-year-old Aaron are waiting for their next clue
22:08I tell you that was a tough game
22:10We did all right though
22:12We got two, obviously we've done better than all the others so far
22:15And after winning two coins in the group task, they've got a head start on their rivals
22:20How do you think it's going to be when we get back home?
22:23Oh, I don't know, obviously
22:26The council are giving me a house, a small flat
22:29All right, okay
22:31So you're going to be moving on to living on your own then?
22:34Yeah
22:35So like it's a big step, isn't it, being 18 and all of that?
22:38It will be a bit hard at the start
22:40I can relate to that, you know, quite a lot
22:42Yeah
22:43Living home, I left home when I was 18 as well
22:46I had a big bust up with my dad
22:48Back home, I do have to worry about quite a lot of stuff
22:54About six years ago, I found out my dad weren't my real dad
22:58From that, me and my mum didn't, like, we didn't have the greatest relationship from there
23:06I ended up being in the care system
23:08I was a little troublemaker and, like, I did bad stuff
23:12The best thing is really is not to let your past define you
23:18You know, you just get on, do what you want to do, throw yourself into it
23:23Being out in Japan has made me feel like there's a lot more out here instead of being in the UK
23:29I feel like I can reflect on myself
23:36And I can be a child again
23:39I feel like I needed a little break
23:42So this experience, I think, has helped me
23:46There's a lot in Japan
23:48What I never knew about
23:50And I think it's wicked
23:52This has been a new adventure from both of us, hasn't it?
23:55It has
23:56Coming here
23:57So, like, you know, adventure gives you a chance to try something different
24:02Do something different
24:03Yeah
24:04I think it's a really important time for him
24:07It's a real time of change
24:09And so, to be here in Japan
24:12He's never done anything like this before
24:14I think it will help him
24:16Oh!
24:18There you go
24:20Head to Tamba
24:22Look for the place where cows live like kings
24:25Cows live like kings?
24:27Neat
24:29So what should we do?
24:30What could it be, though?
24:31Yeah
24:32What could it be? Are we going to be farmers?
24:34It could be! It could be milking cows
24:36Back on the Yodogawa River
24:38Barbara and Katie need to use their combined memories to select five photos that show landmarks from their boat ride
24:54Right, process of elimination
24:57But some of the landmarks aren't even in Japan
25:00Oh, that's the castle
25:01Yeah
25:03Look at that there
25:05There's that tea room
25:07Yeah, that's on the boat, definitely
25:09She's a bright kid, really bright
25:12We work together well
25:14That's here, that's here
25:16Yeah, definitely
25:17The panda
25:18Yeah, definitely
25:20I don't want to feel as though I'm patronising her or anything like that
25:25That's here, that's a saga
25:26But it's sort of instinctive in me that I want to win badly
25:33For her
25:35Isn't that London?
25:37No, no, listen
25:39There's a wheel here
25:41I think that's a London eye, I'm not going to lie to you
25:43Okay
25:45So, that is...
25:47I think somehow that's here
25:50I've definitely seen
25:51Isn't that...
25:53Liverpool
25:55The Albert Docks
25:57Come on now, Katie
25:58Be serious now
26:00No, I am being serious
26:02I don't think that's in Japan
26:04Seen that somewhere, Ian
26:06In the Albert Docks
26:07Was it?
26:08Yeah
26:09And I swear that one's London
26:11Okay, love, okay
26:13Right
26:14Let's put the certain ones in, darling
26:16Yeah?
26:17I think so
26:19That would only leave one more for this side
26:22I'm sure I said, look at that
26:24And I pointed it out
26:26Do you want to go for this one?
26:28I think so
26:30Let's put that there
26:32Which would be our five
26:34I don't even remember seeing that many trees
26:39My darling, I don't know
26:41You want to go for this one?
26:42I don't know
26:43Because I feel bad if we lose it
26:46We're doing this together
26:47You're not letting us down
26:48I'm agreeing to this too
26:50You ready?
26:53Yep
26:55Final answer
26:57Final answer
27:05In the Japanese city of Osaka
27:08Four teams are taking on challenges
27:10That challenge is rank, wasn't it?
27:12To try and win a life-changing cash prize of £50,000
27:17Now turn it back
27:19On the Yodogawa River
27:22Barbara and Katie are about to find out how many coins they've scored in their task
27:27You want to go for this one?
27:29They've selected five photos they think show landmarks they've seen on their boat ride
27:34But there's one photo the pair are unsure about
27:38I think that's from the boat, is it?
27:41Possibly, not definitely
27:44Although Barbara thinks it's in Osaka
27:46Yeah, yeah, that's Osaka
27:48I want to win for Katie
27:50I want to win for Katie
27:52Because I've had a charmed life
27:54And I'm sincere there
27:56Katie hasn't
27:58And this could be life-changing for her
28:01I'm very nervous now
28:03I'd absolutely love 50 grand
28:05It'd help me make my life so much better
28:07All right
28:09Yeah?
28:10OK
28:14This is Osaka
28:16This is Osaka Castle
28:17So obviously Osaka
28:20The panda, this thing's Osaka as well
28:23And this one is Osaka
28:27And this one is not Osaka
28:30The photo the pair struggled the most to identify
28:35Was in fact in London's Battersea Park
28:38I'm so sorry
28:39No, that's fine, we've got four
28:43If I'm sorry
28:45Don't say sorry, we've got four
28:47You're allowed to get things wrong
28:49Four out of five is pretty good I suppose, isn't it?
28:54It's more than a pretty god
28:56Thank you, thank you
28:58Well, let's put these winning coins in the purse
29:04Come on
29:06Combined with their coin from the group challenge
29:09Barbara and Katie now have five coins out of a possible ten
29:13I just feel now a little bit negative
29:17But with two other teams still to take on their challenges
29:21They've no idea if it's enough to see them through to the final
29:27On the other side of the city
29:29Everywhere we visited in Japan
29:32People are on bikes
29:34Having earned just one coin in the canned food group challenge
29:37Oh
29:39Colin and Charlotte are hunting for their individual task
29:42Head to Shakudo where the writing's on the wall
29:44Could be just random writing though
29:48Oh, that's probably some local graffiti artist
29:51It could be
29:53Why are we so blind?
29:54I don't know
29:55There's a picture right in front of us
29:57Their clue
29:59Hello!
30:01Has led them to a calligraphy studio
30:03Where they'll learn about one of Japan's most enduring traditions
30:06It's beautiful calligraphy, but it looks difficult
30:10Calligraphy?
30:11Calligraphy
30:13Oh, calligraphy
30:14Calligraphy
30:15Is that painting?
30:17It's writing letters, words
30:21Dating back to the 6th century
30:23Japanese calligraphy often uses ancient proverbs
30:26Inspired by positive affirmations and moral teachings for future generations
30:32So I'll show you a couple of problems in Japanese
30:37This is gold coins for cat
30:41Which means wasting good things on those who won't appreciate it
30:47Oh yeah, don't waste your time doing something that's not going to be necessary
30:53Mm-hmm
30:54There's no reason for it
30:55It's what you've been teaching me, isn't it?
30:56It is, yeah
30:58My parents would definitely say that I'm, like, thick as shit
31:01100%
31:03They're just, like, having a laugh
31:06But, erm, I'm not smart
31:08Do you get what I mean? I'm not academic
31:10But, like, Colin is so wise
31:13He's amazing
31:14He's got all these things to teach me
31:16So, thank God for that
31:17Otherwise we would be in trouble
31:18This means
31:20Even though you fall down seven times
31:24You get up eight times
31:26So, never give up
31:28Aww, cute
31:30A lot of positive vibes
31:32It's what everybody needs
31:37Colin and Charlotte now have a chance to add to their single coin from the group tusk
31:42Can you identify five Japanese proverbs hanging before you?
31:46Each proverb they correctly identify will earn them a coin
31:51But they'll need to watch out as some of the sayings are, in fact, song lyrics
31:56Quite difficult, Colin
31:5750 miles northwest of Osaka, in the farming town of Tanba
32:06Oh, okay
32:08Wow
32:09Val and Aaron have tracked down their challenge
32:12On a Kobe beef farm
32:14Is it the size of it?
32:16I think it's the normal size of a cow, innit?
32:19So this is where they live like kings, is it?
32:22Oh, look, there's a baby cow
32:24Let's go to the next part, eh?
32:27Kobe is a type of wagyu beef
32:30Highly prized for its exceptional flavour, tenderness and marbling
32:34Oh, yeah, my happy place, eh?
32:37Now they'll get a crash course on what makes it so special
32:41Kobe beef needs to be A grade
32:43That comes down to marbling, which is the main feature of top Kobe beef
32:50Yeah
32:51We have five different cuts of steak, ranging from A1, it's cheaper, to A5
32:59Obviously your A5 cut is much more expensive than all the other grades that come before it
33:05And this comes down to marbling
33:08Take a close look
33:09Oh, yeah, I love it
33:10You can see the intramuscular fat
33:12It's like clouds, right?
33:14So as a result, it's very buttery, melts in your mouth
33:17It's delicious
33:18It's gorgeous, isn't it?
33:19Yep
33:20We're going to be serving these for lunch, so...
33:23Oh, yeah? Oh, fabulous
33:25Very heavy
33:26Oh, I'll destroy it, me
33:28To be in with a chance of getting to the final, Val and Aaron must work together and use what they've just learned to identify the five grades of Kobe beef on today's lunch menu
33:40Get five and get fat
33:41All you're thinking about is your belly
33:44Yeah, I am pretty hungry
33:47Oh, I'm excited
33:49I think we can smash this
33:51Back at the calligraphy studio
33:57What are we going to go for first?
33:59Colin and Charlotte need to identify which boards are Japanese proverbs and which are lines from well-known songs
34:07I don't know
34:09Each correct answer will earn them a coin
34:15How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
34:18That's a huge lyric
34:19Is it?
34:20Yep
34:21One we want to get rid of
34:24His memory is, like, crazy
34:26I've never met anyone like him in my entire life
34:28Honestly, you remember things like that
34:31That's a music lyric
34:33Don't carry the world up on your shoulders
34:35So, from a Beatles song
34:36That's a song
34:37Yeah
34:38Yeah, it can go
34:41That is probably in a song
34:43Yeah, it won't be a proverb
34:44No
34:45Start directly at the song
34:46No
34:47Get rid of that
34:49When you believe in things you don't understand
34:52Then you suffer
34:54Could be a proverb
34:57But proverbs encourage belief
34:59Oh, yeah
35:00It's a bit tricky, that one
35:02Save your tears for another day
35:04That's a song
35:05Is it?
35:06Yeah
35:07Out of these two
35:08Out of these two
35:09Out of these two
35:10Which one of those can you imagine being in a song as a lyric?
35:11Oh, yeah
35:12I don't know
35:13I did think that one
35:14I did think that one
35:15I think that one
35:16Is the final proverb to pick
35:17It sounds like an arrow
35:18I think that's more likely to be a proverb
35:20Yeah
35:21And there's no use scrunching up your buttocks after you've farted
35:24That sounds like a proverb
35:26Yeah
35:27The winds of tomorrow
35:28The winds of tomorrow will blow tomorrow
35:30There's no medicine for falling in love
35:32Out of these two
35:34Which one of those can you imagine being in a song as a lyric?
35:39I did think that one
35:41But the more I look at it I think it's there's no medicine for falling in love
35:46Agreed?
35:47Yeah
35:48Compton
35:49We'll lock them in
35:53Back in the farming district of Tanbah
35:56Come on, oi
35:57Val and Aaron are about to tuck into a selection of different grades of Kobe beef
36:03In an attempt to grade them from cheapest to most expensive
36:08I'm going to just whack this one straight on
36:11Because I know I want to taste it
36:13Yeah
36:14Come on
36:15Oh, look at that
36:16Mmm
36:21That's good
36:23Yeah
36:24I love this game
36:25Oh, yes, I'm liking this one
36:27This is a lot better
36:30This is the best game
36:31Than the game we had before
36:32Absolutely
36:33It's gorgeous
36:35When I first saw Val I was like, oh, she's just a stranger
36:37I'm not going to get on with her
36:39That's some good stuff
36:41You're going to have another piece?
36:44Oh, yeah
36:45Why not, eh?
36:47But now I think me and Val are like a really strong team
36:51We've gone into the challenges with a positive mindset
36:55And we smash it
36:57I'm in heaven
36:58I've never had Kobe beef before
37:02But there's something about that beef that I could eat it every day
37:07With bellies full, it's time to rank the plates of beef from least to most expensive
37:13OK
37:14But have they remembered their lesson or have they been too focused on feasting?
37:19We think this is the least expensive
37:23Number four
37:24Number one is 100% the second
37:27Yeah, the second lowest, yeah
37:29Well, see, I think number two is the third expensive
37:35And we think number three is the most expensive
37:40That is definitely the most expensive
37:42That is definitely the most expensive, undoubtedly
37:44I think we can lock in
37:45You know what? I'm tall now
37:54I have doubts now whether number four is the cheapest
37:58OK?
37:59It was to do with how the fat is in the vein of the meat
38:04So the less fat you have in the vein, the cheaper it is
38:12I'm saying still that's the cheapest
38:14OK
38:15I think we could lock in
38:17I'm not ready
38:19It was really hard
38:21The cheapest meat is going to be the toughest piece that we eat
38:25That means it has the least fat
38:26No, I think number four is the cheapest though
38:28Based on what?
38:30In my gob
38:32OK, well, we clearly have a different palette
38:36All right, should we change it?
38:38Yeah, OK
38:39Change it then
38:40Don't get me wrong, I could be wrong
38:43I want to do well for him but also for myself
38:47So I don't want to see this adventure of a lifetime come to an end
38:51Lock in, we've locked in
38:53Yes!
39:05Of the four couples who remain in the treasure hunt across Japan
39:08That's the first time, get me five
39:10You did it
39:11Two have completed their individual challenges
39:13Let's put these winning coins in the face
39:16So the outcome of Colin and Charlotte's game
39:19Are you confident with this?
39:20Yes
39:21And Val and Aaron's challenge
39:23I can't bear to look
39:25Will determine who stays in Japan
39:27Aim for the prize
39:28Val and Aaron have graded the quality of five pieces of beef
39:32From the highest to the lowest
39:36Oh God, I'm feeling anxious
39:38Hoping to build on the two coins they already have
39:41They'll earn one coin for each correct answer
39:44All right, let me reveal the results
39:47Come on
39:48Oh my God
39:49Just get it done, just do it
39:59Is that all we got?
40:01Just one coin
40:02One coin
40:03One coin
40:04Fuck
40:05Oh no
40:10So, unfortunately you guys swapped it at the last minute
40:13Oh
40:14Oh
40:16I knew we shouldn't change that one
40:18I knew
40:19I knew we shouldn't change it
40:24I can't believe it
40:26I wasn't expecting that
40:28You know, we swapped it at the last minute
40:30So I do feel, I do feel bad about that
40:33Obviously not the result what we wanted
40:35I think I was more bothered about eating the food
40:37Erm
40:38But, yeah
40:39Oh, I'm pissed off
40:42I'm sorry
40:43Don't be
40:44Don't be
40:45Don't be
40:46Don't be sorry
40:47We're a team
40:49Oh
40:50Fuck man
40:51Stop flying
40:52I'd like to be able to go through the final game
40:56And to be able to win it
40:57But
40:58Right now
40:59Right in this moment
41:00I'm not feeling positive
41:03Combined with the two they won in the group challenge
41:07Fucking pissed
41:08Fantastic
41:09They now have just three coins
41:17Hoping for better results in their challenge
41:19Well, I'm hoping we've got five
41:21I think we've done it quite well
41:23Colin and Charlotte have chosen five boards they think are Japanese sayings
41:29Let's find out how you did
41:31Yes
41:32But do they know their proverbs from their pop?
41:36One man's fault is another lesson
41:41Yeah
41:42This is the proverb
41:44So
41:45Correct
41:46Yay
41:47Thank you
41:48Here we go
41:49Thank you
41:50When you believe in things you don't understand then you suffer
41:55No
41:56Oh no
41:57It's Stevie Wonder
41:59Is it?
42:00No way
42:01Time flies like an arrow
42:05Four bugs
42:06Correct
42:08Thank you
42:10The winds of tomorrow will blow tomorrow
42:13Correct
42:14Yeah, we knew that one was, didn't we?
42:16Thank you
42:18There's no use scrunching up your buttocks after you've fought it
42:25Correct
42:26So silly
42:27Thank you
42:28Congratulations
42:29Thank you
42:33We got four
42:34Four's good
42:35Four's amazing
42:36We're happy with four
42:37We did well
42:38And with that one from this morning that gives us five
42:40Yeah
42:41I don't think Rosie and Lawrence would have got all five
42:44They'd have to get all five just
42:45Just to be equal
42:47Just to equal us
42:48All of the teams will now come together to find out who has earned the lowest number of coins
42:57Are you ready?
42:58Yeah
42:59And will be eliminated from the competition
43:01We are ready, we've got this
43:03Come on then
43:04So we've got one for the cans
43:06The cans
43:07And then our game yesterday, we've got one
43:10Two
43:11Three
43:13Four
43:14Total of five
43:16I feel like we've all not been consistent with our coins so anyone could be eliminated at this point
43:21Next to show their hand are Val and Aaron
43:25Hello
43:26Hi
43:27Hi guys
43:28You've done well
43:29Well it depends on what we use, they've done well
43:31Here we go
43:32Obviously we've got two from the can eating
43:35Yeah
43:36Yeah
43:37We've got one
43:38One
43:39One
43:40Yeah it was a eating competition
43:43You lost on a food challenge
43:45Well
43:46Yeah
43:47We see what happens
43:48Yeah
43:49Well I'm a little bit more relaxed to be honest but
43:52Sorry
43:53As I get closer it's like the pressure builds
43:55I know
43:56The team that scored no coins in the group challenge are up next

46:02Although we may not go home with the cash
46:04But I'm going home with something much more than what money could buy me. Goodbye guys
