00:13Hi everyone and welcome to Do You Know Your Place? Now we live in a nation that is packed with
00:18surprises but how well do you really know it? Well to find out we've hired Paul, an extremely
00:25enthusiastic and occasionally unreliable tour guide to take us on a journey across
00:29this wonderful nation and we're going to sort the truth from the twaddle on Do You Know Your Place?
00:40Playing this week we have an absolute TV icon who's always up for a challenge, it's Annika Rice.
00:47Welcome Annika. A stand-up comedian who's hoping his geography is as strong as his funnies,
00:53it's Shane Todd. And finally we have a presenter and DJ who's well-travelled on the airwaves but
01:00can she navigate the UK? It's Radio 1X for DJ, Remy Burgs everyone. Annika we're going to start with you,
01:06you are a TV icon but one thing that you have that's different to everyone else, you have
01:12navigated the United Kingdom from above. Every square inch, that map on the floor is triggering
01:17me Vernon because I look at it and I've jumped into that field, I've jumped into the North Sea and
01:23nearly died of hypothermia, I've sort of climbed up a mountain there, I've built a community centre
01:28there, a bridge there, yeah it's triggering me. Can you just put a blanket over it and I'm going to
01:34have
01:34a snooze and a small gin? We will try Annika, we will try but unfortunately it is, again I'm sure,
01:41that's about the UK so we might struggle covering that up. Shane, you've seen the UK from the inside
01:46of dark clubs where you do comedy, do you switch and change your comedy set for wherever you are
01:53in the UK? Yeah well when I'm outside of Ireland or Northern Ireland I try and speak in a way
01:59that
01:59people will understand me so I slow it down. You do what sorry? Sorry Vernon, I slow it down and
02:08I just
02:09hope that if people get like one in every five words then I'm happy enough. Nice. But I do change
02:14it a
02:15little bit. Remy same with you because you go up and down the UK on tour, do you know that
02:19specific
02:19tunes and specific beats match certain cities and what have you? 100%, 100% I feel like there's certain
02:25cities that would we would cater to them more in that R&B for example. Nice, it's good though because
02:29what it does it puts all that music in different brackets but it brings everyone together wherever
02:33you are. Exactly. Oh I can't wait till we finish this show because when we three hit the turn we're
02:38gonna have a right good time. Right today we are sourcing fact from fiction in Whitby. A beautiful coastal
02:46haven in North Yorkshire. Now let's kick things off by putting your geography skills to the test.
02:52Earlier each of you placed a pin on the map as to where you think Whitby is located within the
02:58UK.
02:59First of all let's find out where Whitby actually is on the map. There you go. All right gang,
03:06let's find out where you put your pins. Oh. Remy you were 205 miles away from where Whitby is
03:15actually located in the town of Littleport in Cambridgeshire. Right. To be more specific you
03:22dropped it on the pole shed. Take a look. You didn't find Whitby but you did find the pole shed
03:29in
03:29Littleport. Come on down and see what we do. Did you drop the pin from memory?
03:40Maybe I've been before. I love it. Shane you were 133 miles away. You landed your pin in Curtin in
03:51Lincolnshire and Annika you were closest. Your pin landed on Bempton Cliffs just 36 miles away
03:58from Whitby. You win the first point of the show. Wow. It's time to say hello to our resident tour
04:05guide,
04:06Paul. He's going to be taking us around some of Whitby's finest treasures starting off
04:09with something you can really sink your teeth into.
04:16Welcome everyone to Whitby. A seaside town on the Yorkshire coast with a population of around 13 000.
04:22There's been plenty to see here beside the seaside so let's go see it.
04:29Okay let's just get this out of the way. I don't like vampires. Mummies? I love them and they love
04:35me.
04:36Werewolves? I can handle a big hairy unit just fine but getting this sucked dry by some pasty fella from
04:42Transylvania? No that's not for me so let's make this quick. It's shorter than I thought.
04:51Writer Bram Stoker visited Whitby in 1890. He stayed at a guest house overlooking the seafront
04:58and during his stay filled his notebooks with vampire stories. But would you believe Bram Stoker
05:04said he created Dracula after a nightmare induced by eating too many crabs. That can't be true Bram.
05:11Or can it?
05:18I think I'm inclined to believe that you know. I think a seafood episode could have led to a
05:38vampire episode. Serious hallucinations? Yeah. Yeah why not? All right. You believe it. Is that the right answer?
05:45Yes! Well done Icarice. You've won a point. Thanks. Yeah well done.
05:49Thanks. Sheno it's you. We're going to go back on tour with Paul. He's found the perfect spot
05:54for a little bit of dressing up. I think this is right up your street.
06:01Incapsulating a music genre, fashion and lifestyle, the goth scene was born in the 1980s with bands like
06:08Suzie and the Banshees and icons like Robert Smith from Cure. Coat me please. Thank you so much.
06:15Established in 1999, Pandemonium is Whitby's original goth shop and it's a great place to get kitted out for
06:22big goth events. Just like the Whitby Goth Weekend, which is one of the UK's most iconic and atmospheric
06:29festivals. In the goth subculture, a school can represent transformation and a celebration of
06:35existence in the face of death. And before you laugh, no I'm not afraid of skulls. I'm afraid of skulls
06:43and the dark and heights and snakes and clipboards. Can we go?
06:49Oh! But what does the British public fear more? Spiders or public speaking?
07:01Shane, what do you think? According to a 2023 YouGov poll, what does the British public fear more?
07:10Is it spiders or is it public speaking?
07:15In times gone by I would have said spiders, but I feel like nowadays it's public speaking. I think
07:21that's the last thing people want to do. I think people fear public speaking slightly more than
07:27spiders. All right, well let's take a look. Is it the right answer?
07:34No, it's not. It's spiders. The poll found that the only things Britons fear more than public speaking
07:41are spiders and heights is the other one. Next up, Paul has found a rather big wishbone.
07:53The Whitby whalebone arch has become one of the town's most famous landmarks. Visitors from all
07:58over the world admire this towering spectacle because it is the perfect spot for that all-important
08:03selfie. There you go. Okay, do you want to see my bad side? I don't have one.
08:10The whalebones are a reminder of Whitby's maritime past rich nautical history and love of seafaring,
08:16which helped make it the sixth largest port back in Britain in 1706. But long before sailors left
08:24Whitby to conquer the seas, an ancient creature once passed through this town and it left some
08:29pretty big footprints. This is one of the oldest known footprints of a stegosaurus, dating back around
08:37170 million years. But would you believe a term used by paleontologists to describe a stegosaurus
08:44tail comes from a cartoon? Well, would you?
08:53Remy, would you believe a term used by paleontologists to describe a stegosaurus tail comes from a cartoon?
09:03Oh, can't say the name. Paleontologists. Yeah, thank you. Say the word again one more time.
09:08Paleontologists. Why would they rely on a cartoon?
09:11So, I'm going to say I don't believe it. You don't believe it. All right. Well, let's take a look.
09:18And the answer is... You've got to believe it. You've got to believe it because it's true. It is true.
09:24The thagomizer is the name given to the spiked tail of a stegosaurus dinosaur. It comes from a 1982
09:33edition of the cartoon The Far Side by Gary Larson. There you go. So, that's the end of round one.
09:40Let's take a look at the scores. Remy and Shane yet to score out in front. Annika Rice. Well done,
09:48Annika. Yes. Bravo, you. All right, it's time for round two. So, good luck. Let's get back to Paul,
09:54who's all ready to set sail with some watery Whitby facts.
10:03Before he sailed off to chart the world and help Britain colonise Australia, Captain James Cook learnt
10:09his trade right here in Whitby. And the good people here built Cook's most famous vessel,
10:14the Endeavour. This is a replica of that ship, which Cook used to explore the likes of New Zealand
10:20and the Great Barrier Reef. The Endeavour nearly sank after hitting the Great Barrier Reef and the crew
10:27spent two months repairing the ship in Australia. Nothing like hitting a reef to make you Klingon to
10:33whatever's floating. And talking of Klingon, that brings me nicely to my next question. As which Star
10:39Trek catchphrase is thought to be inspired from a quote from Captain Cook? Is it beam me up Scotty?
10:45Is it live long and prosper? Or boldly go where no man has gone before? But which one is it?
10:55Annika, here's your question. Which Star Trek catchphrase is thought to be inspired by a quote from
11:02Captain Cook himself. Is it beam me up Scotty? Live long and prosper? Or boldly go where no man has
11:11gone before?
11:14Well, I presume it's boldly go where no man has gone before because I'm not sure I'm buying into the
11:20fact
11:20that Captain Cook ever said beam me up Scotty. I really smelt the sea. You know, that was a very
11:26evocative little piece Paul did. So I think that was me, Annika? Oh, yeah. Now we've cleared that up.
11:32Yeah, I think it's definitely boldly go. All right, let's see if that is the right answer.
11:38Yes, of course, it is well deduced, Annika. In his journal, Cook wrote that he intended to go
11:44farther than any man has gone before. So that's where it came from. Yeah. All right, Shane,
11:50it's your question and we are still at sea with Paul and he's cooked up a few more facts.
11:58As well as being a pioneer of sea travel, Captain Cook was also a bit of a nutrition nut as
12:04he
12:04insisted on healthy living at sea. His crew's health record was the envy of the Navy. But which food was
12:11mandatory for the crew to eat aboard the Endeavour? Was it horseradish, sauerkraut or passion fruit?
12:19Well, which one was it?
12:26Which food was mandatory for the crew to eat aboard the Endeavour? Was it horseradish, sauerkraut or passion fruit?
12:38I don't know a lot, but I know that you don't fish for passion fruit. And I've always said that.
12:44I don't know what horseradish is. Sauerkraut's like a fermented thing. So, oh, I'm going to go with that
12:49because they could have made it in Whitby and then brought it with them and it probably wouldn't
12:54have gone off because I think sauerkraut is stinking, but it doesn't go off for ages.
12:59Nice. Sauerkraut is your answer? Yeah.
13:02All right. Is it the right answer, though?
13:05Yes!
13:06Yep.
13:07Well done, Cherno. It is. The Endeavour had nearly 8,000 pounds of sauerkraut,
13:13a ration of two pounds per man per week of sauerkraut. Well done, Cherno.
13:18Yeah, you broke that down well. Thank you.
13:20Yeah, you get a point. And you get a little bit of a ripple from Remy.
13:22Yeah. You know, she's very competitive.
13:24That's all I've ever wanted.
13:25Pressure!
13:26And she did that through gritty teeth.
13:29Yeah.
13:31Right. Next up, pause on dry land.
13:36Whitby has some incredible seafarers and one of the most remarkable was Dora Muriel Walker.
13:42Born just outside Leeds and later moving to Whitby, she became president of the Ladies
13:47Lifeboat Guild and member of the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society.
13:52A true pioneer in what was then a completely male-dominated trade, Dora, the original explorer,
13:59commanded her boat, the Good Faith, piloted through minefields off Whitby's coast and was known for
14:05tunny fishing, the art of catching huge Atlantic bluefin tuna. But which of these statements about her
14:12is true? Was she the only woman skipper in the World War II North Sea? Did she land the biggest
14:18cod
14:19in English waters? Or did she lead a flotilla to rescue Dunkirk troops? Don't tell them. Which one is it?
14:31So, Remi, very impressive. Let's take a look. Which of these statements about Dora Muriel Walker
14:37is true? She was the only woman skipper in the World War II North Sea. She landed the biggest cod
14:46in English waters. She led a flotilla to rescue Dunkirk troops.
14:52She was handling fish. So, I'm going to say that she landed the biggest cod in English waters when she
15:02walked with pride. And that's what I'm going to go with. Right. Yep. The answer is...
15:11Oh, you're wrong! She was the only woman skipper in the World War II North Sea. Impressive lady.
15:21Well, there you go. You don't get your first point. That's a shame. And at the end of that round,
15:25let's take a look at the scores. Remi, still yet to score. Mm-hmm.
15:31Shane, you're off the mark. You've got a point. But still in the lead, it's Annika Rice with three points.
15:38Right. Next up, it's round three. And after all that touring around Whitby,
15:41we thought you might be feeling a little bit peckish. So, all three of you have got a lunchbox in
15:46front
15:46of you. They contain items which may or may not be local delicacies from Whitby. The first one
15:53we are going to test is the Jet Black Goth Burger. It's a striking charcoal brioche bun,
16:02coloured deep goth black. Shane, initial reaction. Yeah, I'm ready to go full goth after that.
16:08I'm going to phone my dad after this, tell him I hear him. That's unrelated to this. No, it's beautiful.
16:16It's really nice. Nice. What do you reckon, Remi? I think it looks like something you should stay
16:20away from, but you should run to it. Ooh. It's quite... The beef in there is succulent.
16:27I want you to tell me whether you do believe or you don't believe that the goth black burger
16:33is synonymous with Whitby. One at a time. Annika, we'll start with you.
16:38You do believe it. It's so succulent, you do believe that it's the dinner of choice for a goth.
16:43Shane, you don't believe it. There would be more goths in the world if this was real.
16:47Fair. Remi? I'm going to... It sounds too good to be true, so I'm going to go with...
16:54You don't believe it. Well, I can tell you that you shouldn't believe it. Remi, you've got a point!
17:02Yes! I love you! Remi's got a point! All right, gang. Next up, a Whitby special ice cream.
17:10Ooh. Oh, yeah. Ooh.
17:12Now, this is a cold, creamy, soft-serve ice cream infused with sharp, aromatic garlic.
17:20It's smooth and velvety with a garlic twist, giving it a contrast that aims to be vampire-repelling.
17:27Oh, God, it's strong. Oh, I love it.
17:30OK. It's potent.
17:31Oh! Shane, what do you think? Punchy, right?
17:34God love whoever back in the day used to snog Dracula, because that is absolutely disgusting, that garlic.
17:40That is pretty punchy. That taste is not going to leave for a while.
17:44Exactly. That's what I mean. So, is this a speciality from Whitby? Let's see via your paddles.
17:52Look at Annika's face!
17:53I thought it was delicious. Did you enjoy that?
17:56I loved it. Wow.
17:58I love garlic.
17:59Shane? There's weird people in the world.
18:01You do believe it? I believe it.
18:03Remi? It has to come from somewhere, so I'm going to say.
18:06Oh. Right. All three of you believe that the vampire-repelling ice cream is actually a thing.
18:13Well, I can tell you, it's not.
18:15Oh!
18:16None of you score a point. However, they do sell that ice cream at a garlic festival in California.
18:22All right, back into your lunch boxes, please. This is your sweet treat.
18:26It's a seaweed doughnut made from a soft, savoury batter and folded through with dried seaweed,
18:34lightly crisp on the outside with a soft centre. It delivers a gentle sea saltiness with every mouthful.
18:44Annika, what do you think?
18:45Very thoroughly delicious lunch box.
18:47Have you? I mean, we never did it.
18:49Yeah, I loved it. Everything.
18:51All right, so let's talk via your paddles.
18:54The seaweed doughnut, is it a speciality of Whitby?
18:57Annika, you believe it.
18:59I'm pretty consistent.
19:00Jen, you believe it.
19:01Remi, you don't believe it. Why not? Why have you not gone with the floor?
19:04Who would think to put seaweed in a doughnut? I just, I just, like, how?
19:08All right, well, I can tell you that.
19:12Remi's won another prize!
19:13Yes!
19:16Yes, Remi!
19:18Don't believe it.
19:19It's not a speciality from Whitby.
19:23No, no, no, no, no.
19:23However, however, these savoury doughnuts are called zeppole
19:27and they're a common snack in Italy, often eaten at Christmas.
19:31So they do exist, just not in Whitby.
19:33Well, well done, gang.
19:34At the end of round three, let's take a look at the scores.
19:36Remi, you're probably in the lead now.
19:39Remi's got two, Shane's got two.
19:42Annika, you've still got three.
19:44You're still in the lead, but Shane and Remi are creeping up behind.
19:47There's only one point in it.
19:48Back to the tour now, and Paul is taking some time out with a few new friends.
19:58If you need a pick-me-up, then just outside Whitby, there's a place that's truly one of a kind.
20:04As the Whitby Sheep Sanctuary is home to around 300 rescued sheep, all offering the wooliest of embraces.
20:11Because here, you get to hug the sheep.
20:16Visitors come here to meet the flock, go on sheep walk experiences, which promotes awareness of animal welfare.
20:24But would you believe there are enough sheep in the UK for every home to have one?
20:34Oh, Annika, would you believe there are enough sheep in the UK for every home to have one?
20:45There's a lot of sheep loitering around. I've flown over a lot of them.
20:49Yes.
20:50You're saying yes, you believe it.
20:52All right, is that the right answer?
20:55Yes!
20:56Well done.
20:57Excellent stuff.
20:58You were right to believe it.
21:00There are around 28.5 million homes in the UK.
21:03Yeah.
21:04And there are 31 million sheep, give or take.
21:08Shane, this one is yours.
21:10Paul is diving into one of Whitby's darkest exports.
21:17Jett has always been Whitby's black gold.
21:20Formed from fossilised trees, this precious material has been prized for centuries.
21:25In fact, Queen Victoria made it such a fashion statement when she wore it mourning Prince Albert,
21:30that demand for Whitby Jett exploded.
21:33This is all fascinating and beautiful stuff.
21:36But for this big guy here, there'll only ever be one, Jett.
21:3915-year-old me is very excited right now because we're just down the road from Middlesbrough,
21:45which is where 90s gladiator Jett comes from.
21:48But would you believe that gladiator Jett named herself in tribute to Whitby Jett?
21:54Well, would you?
21:59Shane, what do you reckon?
22:01Would you believe gladiator Jett named herself in tribute to Whitby Jett?
22:07Nah, Whitby Jett sounds like a cowboy on the frontier.
22:12You'd have heard of this.
22:13Mm.
22:14That is not true.
22:15I do not believe it.
22:16You don't believe it?
22:17No.
22:18All right.
22:18OK, well, let's take a look.
22:21Yes!
22:22Well done.
22:23Well done.
22:24Yeah, well done.
22:25The reason why Jett became Jett was because when she went for her audition,
22:29she was so fast, she did it so quickly, they hired her on the spot and said,
22:34you're like a Jett.
22:36There you go.
22:37Simple, yeah.
22:38Simple as that.
22:39Remy, it's your question.
22:40It's time for our final check-in with our tour guide, Paul,
22:43who has decided to leave the smelliest stop till last.
22:47And I'm very glad it's him out there and not us.
22:53Just like my bike shorts after a 20k ride on a hot summer's day,
22:58here at Fortune's you can smell them before you see them.
23:01This family-run smokehouse has been producing kippers right here for over 150 years.
23:07The process of smoking fish for preservation dates back centuries,
23:11with evidence of smokefish found in ancient Greece, Viking settlements in Scandinavia,
23:17and coastal villages like this one right here in Britain.
23:21But would you believe the smell of kippers is so strong that British airways officially
23:26forbid their passengers from eating them on flights?
23:30That sounds like codswallop to me.
23:32Or does it?
23:37Remy, would you believe that British airways officially
23:40forbid their passengers from eating kippers on flights?
23:45I think that that's a bit discriminatory.
23:49To kipper eaters?
23:51Yes.
23:52That's discrimination.
23:54Yeah, they have rights, you know?
23:57So, I don't believe it.
24:01All right, let's see if you're right.
24:03Yes!
24:04Remy's got a point.
24:06Remy's got a point.
24:07Another one.
24:08Yes, Remy.
24:09On fire.
24:10Bravo, you.
24:11However, the durian fruit is banned on Air New Zealand flights because it's quite stinky.
24:17Really?
24:18But forget that, you've got a point.
24:19Exactly.
24:20Yes, well done.
24:21Bravo.
24:22Right, gang, it's no time for your bonus questions, so good luck.
24:25You'll need your whiteboards for this and your pens.
24:29Here's your question.
24:30A kipper is a type of smoked herring.
24:34And also, which of these?
24:37Is it an Olympic gymnastics move?
24:40A wide necktie popular in the 60s?
24:44Or a hairstyle popular with Gen Z men?
24:52Annika, we'll start with you.
24:55You've gone the tie.
24:57Shane, you've gone the tie.
24:59Remy, we've gone the tie.
25:02It's a full hose.
25:03Congratulations.
25:04It's the right answer.
25:06Let's go.
25:07Well done, team.
25:07You're all going to point.
25:09It is the wide necktie.
25:11The kipper tie was created by designer Michael Fish, not the weatherman.
25:15Pike is also an Olympic gymnastic move.
25:18And the mullet is a popular hairdo amongst Gen Z men.
25:22At the end of that round, let's take a look one more time at the scores.
25:27Remy and Shane, still tied with four.
25:31Annika, you're one ahead with five.
25:33Still in the lead.
25:34Let's move swiftly on because all that could change as we move into the quickfire questions.
25:40All you've got to do is fill in the blanks on these questions about Whitby.
25:43Fingers on buzzers.
25:44Here we go.
25:48Part of a ship invented by Whitby Navigator.
25:54Go on, Shane.
25:56Something's nest.
25:57Can't give it to you.
26:00Annika.
26:00Crow's nest.
26:01Yeah.
26:03It is the crow's nest.
26:05This Annika race.
26:06Yes.
26:07He can have it.
26:08He can have it.
26:09No, we can't.
26:10No, I don't want it.
26:11You keep it.
26:11The point is yours.
26:12Annika creeps further ahead.
26:14Your next question.
