00:12Hello and welcome to Do You Know Your Place? We in the UK were absolutely passionate about
00:18where we grew up but do we really know the rest of the nation? To find out we brought in
00:23Paul to
00:24take us on a whistle-stop tour across the UK. Sometimes his facts are absolutely bang on,
00:30other times absolute nonsense. So let's divide the truth from the tosh on Do You Know Your Place?
00:40This week playing R from helicopters to high streets she's seen more of the UK than most sat-navs.
00:47It's Annika Rice. Hello. A Northern Ireland stand-up comedian whose jokes are as sharp as
00:52his dress sense. It's Shane Todd. She's got beats, she's got banter, she's got brains,
00:59it's Radio One Extra. DJ Remy Burgess. But Remy, we're yet to see any of that.
01:06Yeah, yeah. I was gonna say you're being bare nice, Vernon. You're being bare nice.
01:13I mean it from the bottom of my heart. We're just warming up, Remy. But this is the penultimate
01:17day so brace yourselves. Anything could happen. Now before we get started we must take a look at
01:22the weekly leaderboard. Annika is in the lead with eight points, Shane is in second with six,
01:27Remy has got four. There's still lots to play for. Today we are sorting fact from fiction in
01:35Jedbra, everyone. Beautiful Jedbra. Let's kick things off by putting your geography skills to the
01:41test. Earlier, of course, each of you placed a pin on our beloved map. We asked you where exactly is
01:47Jedbra. First of all, let's find out where it actually is. Right. There you go. Now let's find
01:55out where you actually think it is. Oh. Wow. Remy, you got that so wrong.
02:02You got that. Wow. You're in Wales, bro. Wow. Shane, you were way off the mark. In fact, you were
02:10338 miles away. Jedbra is in the Scottish borders. You landed in South Wales. Remy, you were about twice
02:19as close as Shane. You were 167 miles away. Yeah. And you hit the village of Lagan in the Highlands.
02:26Yeah, lagging behind, more like, but yes. Nice. Yeah, it is. Yeah. See what you've done there. Yeah, yeah.
02:32Very smart. Annika, you were the closest. Yes. It was on the village of Coase Hill, 69 miles away
02:38from Jedbra, so you were the closest. Well done, Annika Rice, everyone. You get the first points on the
02:43board today. So let's kick off. It's time to say hello to our dear friend, Paul. He's going to explore
02:49Jedbra and keep us all out of trouble, starting with the trip to jail. Welcome to Jedbra, a town in
02:59the Scottish borders with a population of around 4,000. It's famous for its impressive atmospheric
03:05abbey and for adding the prefix Jed to pretty much anything it can get its hands on, from rugby
03:10club called Jed Forest, football club Jed Legion FC and river Jedwater. This place definitely looks
03:19like a classic castle, but back in the 19th century, you really wouldn't want to spend the night here
03:23because Jedbra Castle was actually a jail. Today, it's a museum with a chillingly immersive look at
03:34life behind bars in the 1800s, when you could be locked up for some surprising offences.
03:40But would you believe it was illegal in Scotland for single men to have a beard in the 1800s?
04:04Why would they not be allowed to have a beard? If I was a young lass, I'd want to see
04:09what I was
04:09getting underneath it all, if you see what I mean. And this is really tricky, so I'm just going to
04:15guess, I think. Yes! Why not? Why not? The answer is...
04:23No! Don't believe it. Though Peter the Great of Russia implemented a beard tax in 1698 to be more like
04:32the clean shaven nobles of Europe. Right, next up, Paul is hopping back and forth across the Scotland-England
04:38border, proving that sometimes the biggest journey might only take a few steps.
04:45Here at Carter Bar, you'll find a dramatic viewpoint on the Scotland-England border,
04:50as this frontier wasn't just a line on a map. It was fought over, defended and negotiated.
04:57But would you believe there's a strip of land one metre wide running the Scotland-England border that
05:03belongs to neither country? Well, would you?
05:11So would you believe, Shane, there's a strip of land one metre wide running the Scotland-England border
05:16that belongs to neither country? See, if it wasn't covered in the movie Braveheart, I don't know it.
05:22And they don't, they don't talk about this. I mean, yeah, I kind of can see it. I would believe
05:29it.
05:29You believe it. Let's take a look. What's the answer?
05:33Don't believe it. However, Bird Tower is an area of 795 square miles of land which runs the border
05:41between Egypt and Sudan, which is uninhabited and not only unclaimed by other country, it's the only
05:48unclaimed area of land in the whole world. That's what I was thinking of. Yeah, you were.
05:53That's what I was thinking of. He nudged me and said... It's very easy to confuse Egypt,
05:57Sudan and Scotland. Yeah. And England. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
06:00Unlucky. So let's move on to Remy. Paul's made his way to Jed Forest RFC next,
06:05the birthplace of some family rugby legends.
06:12Yep. Here in the borders, rugby is king and Jedburgh has produced its fair share of legends,
06:18including Roy and Greg Laidlaw, uncle and nephew, who not only played for Jed Forest RFC,
06:24but also went on to wear the dark blue jersey of Scotland's international rugby team.
06:30Oh!
06:32Oh!
06:35But would you believe the Olympic sport of rugby sevens was invented by a butcher in Jedburgh as
06:40part of a charity fundraiser day?
06:46We're keeping him fit. Yeah. However, Remy, here we go.
06:48Would you believe the Olympic sport of rugby sevens was invented by a butcher in Jedburgh as part of a
06:54charity fundraiser day?
06:56Hmm. Something says, why not?
06:59I have nothing to go off. Um, and I'm just going to say, I believe it.
07:04Do you believe it? Yeah. Let's have a look.
07:08Yeah!
07:10Go on, Remy!
07:11Well done, Remy. Fantastic.
07:14Yeah. Yeah.
07:14Yes, rugby sevens was invented by a Jedburgh native who proposed the game as part of a charity fundraiser day
07:21they could pack more games in if they were 15 minutes long and only seven a side.
07:26It became an Olympic sport in 2016.
07:29Wow! There you go. Creating a history in Jedburgh. Amazing.
07:32Good stuff. We love that. Nice one, Remy.
07:34Right, so that's the end of round one. Let's take a quick look at the scores.
07:39Remy just picked up that point there with the rugby sevens. We like that.
07:42Annika, obviously you got a point from placing nearest Jedburgh with your pin.
07:46Shane, you have to score.
07:47Night's always darkest just before the dawn, Vern.
07:49Mmm.
07:50Oh, there he is.
07:51Right, time for round two.
07:52Next up, Paul is taking a stroll over Jedburgh's classic, historic Canongate bridge.
08:01The historic town of Jedburgh is named for the river that runs through it.
08:06Jedwater, which I'm pretty sure is what Jed would order on the dressing room rider.
08:11That and Jed crisps. No more Jedwood jokes. I'm sorry lads.
08:17And this 16th century stone arch crossing over the Jedwater is the Canongate bridge.
08:22For centuries it carried the main road into Jedburgh, complete with refuges built into the pier
08:27so pedestrians could step aside from the carts and coaches.
08:31But which of these is a real place that neighbours Jedburgh?
08:35Is it Billing Jed?
08:36Is it Christyburg?
08:38Or is it Bon Jedwood?
08:40Over to you, Vernburgh.
08:46Right, first question is to you, Annika.
08:49Yeah.
08:50Which of these is a real place that neighbours Jedburgh?
08:54Is it Billing Jed, is it Christyburg, or is it Bon Jedwood?
09:01Well, I mean, I was going to say Billing Jed, because it's not going to be the other two.
09:08Christyburg.
09:09Christyburg.
09:10Oh, Bon Jedwood.
09:12Bon Jedwood.
09:13So we're going to go with...
09:14I'm going Billing Jed.
09:15Billing Jed.
09:16All right, OK.
09:17Well, I can tell you that the answer is...
09:22It's Bon Jedwood.
09:26It's Bon Jedwood.
09:28I'm giving up.
09:29Have they started their own town?
09:31I'm giving up.
09:32It means enclosure at the foot of the mouth of the Jed River.
09:36And it has nothing to do with the twins.
09:39No, I'm sure it doesn't.
09:41Now I look at it again, it's the obvious answer, obviously.
09:44All right, well, Paul is getting up close and personal with the real legends of the Scottish borders.
09:49The Highland Coves.
09:55Now this is a proper Scottish welcome.
09:57Meet the big shaggy-haired superstar of the farmyard
10:01and my spirit animal, the Highland Cow.
10:04These gentle giants are one of the oldest cattle breeds in the world,
10:08dating back to the sixth century with their double-layered coats and luscious long eyelashes.
10:14They can shrug off the harshest Highland weather and don't even get me started on them horns.
10:21And here at Jackson's at Jebra, you can see firsthand how Highland cows live in groups called folds.
10:29An adult male Highland cow weighs about the same as which of these things?
10:34A grand piano, the great bell on Big Ben or a classic VW Beetle?
10:41Well, which one is it?
10:43Anyone want to see a movie tonight?
10:49I think Paul's got to be a superstar, you know.
10:51All right, Shane, what do you think?
10:53An adult male Highland cow weighs about the same as which of these things?
10:58Is it a grand piano, the great bell of Big Ben or a classic VW Beetle?
11:06There's no way a grand piano is heavy enough to be a similar weight to a Highland cow.
11:11And I feel like the great bell of Big Ben is going to be too heavy.
11:17I'm going to go with the classic VW Beetle.
11:20You're going with the classic VW Beetle?
11:22It's a similar kind of shape.
11:24Going to go for the Beetle.
11:25Right, we're going to go with Beetle.
11:26Yeah.
11:26It's illuminated. Let's see if you are right.
11:31Yes, Shane!
11:32Yep, we're back.
11:32We've got a point.
11:33We're back, yep, yep.
11:34We've got a point, yes.
11:35A Highland cow and a classic VW Beetle both weigh approximately 800 kilograms.
11:41A grand piano can weigh up to 635 kilograms.
11:44The bell in Big Ben weighs over three tons.
11:49Yeah, that's massive.
11:49It's one heck of a chime.
11:51Right, it's time to sweeten things up.
11:53Next up, it's Jedbra's famous peppermint treats,
11:55and they look like snails.
11:57But thankfully, Paul has a taste for better.
12:03Who doesn't love a good hard-boiled sweet?
12:07Oi, Edinburgh!
12:08You can keep your fancy fudge in your sweet rock,
12:11because here in Jedbra, we've got jethered snails to suck on.
12:16But don't worry, they're not real snails.
12:18Jethered snails are actually peppermint toffees shaped like little snails,
12:23a harmless local delicacy with a recipe that's a closely guarded secret,
12:28handed down through generations.
12:30What we do know is that they're twisted into the shape of a snail,
12:34hard-boiled, and named after the local name for Jedbra.
12:38Jedrat.
12:39Incredible.
12:41But where did the recipe for Jedrat snails reportedly originate?
12:44A French penpal, a French prisoner of war, or a French royal?
12:50Me look a less.
12:52Au revoir.
12:56All right, Remy, it's your turn.
12:59Where did the recipe for Jedrat snails reportedly originate?
13:04Was it a French penpal, a French prisoner of war, or a French royal?
13:11Right.
13:13Snails, are they a classy food?
13:16They are in France.
13:17So, a French royal, because they're snails, if they're classy, then somebody of a certain...
13:24We're not talking about actual snails, though.
13:26Yeah. Fares, actually.
13:29I'm going to go with a French penpal.
13:34You're going with a French penpal?
13:37Are you right?
13:39No.
13:41It's a French prisoner of war.
13:43Yeah.
13:44The French prisoners of war were sent to stay with families in Jedburgh
13:47in the early 19th century.
13:49One prisoner of war was treated very well by the local Miller family,
13:53so he reciprocated by sharing the recipe for the sweets.
13:58Mmm.
13:59There you go.
14:00Right, it's no time for a bonus question.
14:02So come on, grab your whiteboards and your pens.
14:05Which of these sweets originated in Britain?
14:09The Flying Saucer, the Gummy Bears, or the Wine Gums?
14:15Oh, absolutely divine.
14:18All right, let's reveal your answers.
14:19So, Annika, you've put Wine Gums, Flying Saucers, from Sheno, and Wine Gums, from Remy.
14:25I can tell you the answer is...
14:28Wine Gums!
14:30Yes!
14:31Gummy Bears were created by the German Hans Riegel.
14:34Flying Saucers were created by a Belgian company who made communion wafers.
14:39See the resemblance?
14:41Yeah.
14:41Yeah.
14:42And Wine Gums were invented by a London confectioner, Charles Gordon Maynard.
14:47Oh.
14:48Well done, Annika.
14:49Well done, Remy.
14:49So let's take a look at the scores after that round.
14:53Two points to Remy.
14:55Yes!
14:55Two points to Annika.
14:57Shane.
14:57Yeah.
14:58You got a point.
14:59All right, well, this is round three where we like to mix it up a little bit.
15:02And today it's all about our favourite thing, Remy.
15:05Music.
15:06Yes, we've lined up a very special guest.
15:08He's come all the way from Jedborough with his bagpipes.
15:10Please welcome Tosh McDonald.
15:16Welcome, Tosh.
15:17A pleasure and an honour to have you on the show looking so regal.
15:21Outstanding stuff.
15:21What's Jedborough really like?
15:23Very quiet.
15:24Well, until you turn up.
15:26Well, yeah.
15:28Right, here we go.
15:29This is how it works.
15:30Tosh, you're going to play a selection of tunes.
15:31They're all Scottish tunes.
15:33You'll get a point for telling us what it is.
15:35You'll also get an extra bonus point for telling us the artist.
15:38Tosh, your first one.
15:40Take it away, my friend.
16:01Tosh, Annika, please reveal your answer.
16:03It's so not right.
16:04You think the song is The Proclaimers and 500 Miles.
16:08That is such a mad guess.
16:10Who on earth would have also guessed 500 Miles?
16:12500 Miles by The Proclaimers.
16:14Remy?
16:16Ed Sheeran.
16:17Any particular track by Ed Sheeran?
16:19He's had some hits.
16:20Shape of You.
16:21Shape of You.
16:21We're going Shape of You with Ed Sheeran.
16:23OK, oh dear.
16:24So, let's hear what the actual answer was.
16:32Travis!
16:35I can hear it now.
16:36Yeah, yeah.
16:37Why does it always rain on me and congratulations and thank you,
16:40Tosh, for your rendition of that, but no points scored.
16:43Let's go to song number two, please, Tosh.
17:11Beautiful rendition, Tosh.
17:12I got it straight away.
17:14It's really easy.
17:16Is it possible just to leave a blank screen?
17:19No.
17:19No.
17:20Got it, Sheeran?
17:21I've got an answer.
17:23I'm very confident.
17:24Right.
17:25OK, Annika, please reveal your answer.
17:27It's a song I play a lot on radio to on Christmas morning,
17:30on my show.
17:32It's not Nella the Elephant.
17:34Oh.
17:34There is no tie to Scotland with Nella the Elephant.
17:37Shane?
17:39Bay City Rollers, Bye Bye Baby.
17:41It's not Bay City Rollers, Bye Bye Baby.
17:44Remy?
17:46It's not Kings of Leon, Sex on Fire.
17:48They're all Scottish tunes.
17:49I said that when we introduced Tosh onto the stage.
17:52It's really easy.
17:54Thank you very much.
17:55Here is the answer.
17:59Lewis Capaldi, Someone You Love.
18:09Right then, here's your third and final song.
18:11Oh my God, sorry, Tosh.
18:13Clear your whiteboards.
18:14Yep.
18:15Good luck.
18:35Yes, it is now the world!
18:37Yes!
18:38The Reclaimers!
18:38500 miles!
18:39500 miles at McLean's!
18:41500 miles at McLean's!
18:42Yeah!
18:45Let's play it!
18:50Yes!
18:51Well done, you all get a point for that.
18:53It was The Proclaimers, 500 miles.
18:55Tosh, thank you so much.
18:57Tosh, everyone, the pipe major of the Jedburgh Pipe Band.
19:10There you go.
19:11Well, that's the end of round three.
19:13Let's take a look at the scores!
19:17So, Remy has three points.
19:19Annika has three points.
19:21Shane, you've only got two.
19:23Right, Paul is heading into one of Jedburgh's most dramatic stories next,
19:28following the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots, whose visit here came with more plot twists than a Bridgerton box
19:34set.
19:38Mary Queen of Scots was just six days old when her father James V died and she inherited the throne
19:44in 1542.
19:46Crowned as an infant, her reign became one of the most dramatic in European history, full of power struggles, plots
19:53and personal tragedy.
19:55And one of her most fateful chapters took place right here in Jedburgh.
20:04In 1566, Mary spent a month in this town after riding 25 miles to Hermitage Castle to visit the Earl
20:11of Bothwell after he was wounded in a skirmish with border reavers.
20:16Oh, them reavers!
20:17The journey nearly killed her, as on the way back she collapsed with a fever and was confined to her
20:23bed in Jedburgh.
20:24For weeks many feared she would not survive.
20:28Mary Queen of Scots was said to be a keen golfer, but which of these statements about Mary Queen of
20:34Scots is said to be true?
20:36She coined the term caddy. She hit the world's first recorded hole in one, or she challenged Queen Elizabeth I
20:44to a golf match.
20:52Right, Annika, the first question is for you. Which of these statements about Mary Queen of Scots is said to
20:59be true?
20:59She coined the term caddy. She hit the world's first recorded hole in one. She challenged Elizabeth I to a
21:08golf match.
21:10Interesting. I love Mary Queen of Scots. I love that period of history.
21:14I can't believe she'd have challenged Elizabeth I to a golf match because they weren't on intimate terms.
21:20First recorded hole in one. I'm not sure who was around to record that. I'm going to say she coined
21:27the term caddy.
21:28You're saying she coined the term caddy.
21:32Yeah.
21:32All right, let's see if you're right.
21:34Yes, Annika Rice. Yes, Annika Rice. Well done. Well did you.
21:38Yeah.
21:39She was brought up in France where her military aides were known as cadets.
21:44So, therefore, when she had someone assist her with her golf clubs and all the paraphernalia, she turned them her
21:50caddies.
21:51I did not know that, so that's very exciting.
21:53Fantastic piece of golfing history. We love that. Well done. You've got a point.
21:57Right, Shane, you're next up and Paul celebrating Jebra's brightest minds with a genius who gifted the world one of
22:03childhood's greatest toys.
22:09Jebra might not be the biggest place but it definitely excels by producing brilliant minds.
22:15Take Mary Somerville, a trailblazing scientist born right here in 1780.
22:21And today Somerville College in Oxford is named in her honour.
22:25Her contemporary Sir David Brewster was born in 1781 and he gave the world something I'm very thankful for.
22:33My fav toy growing up as a kid.
22:35Because Sir David Brewster invented which little fun item?
22:39Was it the...
22:40Was it the...
22:42Kaleidoscope?
22:43Or...
22:44The slinky?
22:46Or was it the...
22:49Yo-yo?
23:03Do you know, before I saw it, I was thinking yo-yo. I was thinking what kind of toy could
23:10have been invented around that time.
23:11The slinky's a good toy. It's nobody's favourite.
23:15Kaleidoscope.
23:16I don't know what field of science he was really involved in.
23:20So if I knew that, that would influence my answer.
23:23But I think I'm just going to have to go with my gut which was saying yo-yo.
23:29Alright, let's lock in yo-yo.
23:31Are you right?
23:32Did David Brewster invent the yo-yo?
23:36No!
23:36It was the kaleidoscope!
23:38David Brewster was renowned for his work on optics.
23:41Hence the kaleidoscope.
23:43Yo-yos were owned in both ancient Greece and even earlier in China.
23:47The slinky was invented in the United States of America in 1943.
23:51So that's relatively new compared to the others.
23:54You don't get a point.
23:55Could be vital.
23:56Right, Remy, you need this point. Let's go.
23:58Time for another stop with Paul.
24:00And he's channeled the spirit of Rabbie Burns himself.
24:07Rabbie Burns became known as Scotland's national poet,
24:10a status he still holds today.
24:12He was awarded the freedom of several Scottish towns
24:15with Jebra granting him the freedom of their town in 1787.
24:20What did you do with it?
24:22Did you go loads of places?
24:24Tell me everything.
24:25I wonder how the Scottish bard might sum up my time here.
24:30Ahem!
24:32Oh, Jed Bratun, you bonny old place.
24:34You truly do brighten my door wee face.
24:37So here's to you Jed, you rare wee gem,
24:40with your coos, your sweets and your clever folk then.
24:44May tourists flock to you and spend a pound or three,
24:48then wander on haem full of history.
24:52But which of these statements about Robert Burns is true?
24:54He was the first person to appear on a banknote,
24:57ride a penny farthing or feature on a bottle of Coca-Cola.
25:18Featuring on a bottle of Coca-Cola.
25:23It's quite something, to be honest.
25:26I'm going to go with appear on a banknote.
25:29You're going to say appear on a banknote.
25:30All right, let's lock it in.
25:32Robert Burns was the first person to...
25:37What?
