00:11Hi everyone and welcome to Do You Know Your Place.
00:14There's always something brilliant to see or do in the United Kingdom,
00:18but how much do we actually know about it?
00:21Well, we are about to find out because we've sent out a guide,
00:24Paul, on a fact-finding tour of the UK.
00:27And it's the Big Friday finale,
00:29so let's sort the firm facts from the loose truths on Do You Know Your Place?
00:38First up, he's spent years on the streets of EastEnders Albert Square, right?
00:43It's the one and only Nithinganatra!
00:48She brings me joy in my heart, she keeps me praising.
00:51She keeps me praising because it's Reverend Kate Bortley!
00:55He's the ultimate utility player, shifting from a rugby ruck to an NFL roster.
01:01To the Gladiators Arena, it's the multi-talented Alex Gray, everyone!
01:06Now, before we get started, let's take a look at the weekly leaderboard.
01:10As we know, she's absolutely smashed it.
01:13Reverend Kate Bortley at the top with 12 points,
01:16sat behind Alex and Nithing with six.
01:19So, Kate, you've won all four shows this far.
01:22How does it feel to bask in the glory?
01:25Well, I was talking to the rest of the family and I was like,
01:28look, I've won four, I think we can take us foot off the pedal now.
01:31And both my kids went, absolutely not, Mum.
01:33The glory of the family rides on this, so...
01:35But yesterday, I mean, we were all pretty much even going into that final round,
01:39so you never know, anything could happen.
01:41But pride goes before a fall, doesn't it, Vernon?
01:43So let's not do that.
01:44It's a sermon right there.
01:45You should write that down on your gym wall.
01:47Can we play next goal wins as well?
01:49Can we impose that off?
01:50Well, let's find out where we are playing today.
01:54We're going to sort fact from fiction in...
01:56Wrexham!
01:57Hi, Rory!
01:58Yes!
01:59Yes, beautiful Wrexham.
02:00Let's kick things off by putting, as always, your geography skills...
02:04We hit this bit.
02:05Look at their faces.
02:06Oi, Rory!
02:07Putting your geography skills to the test.
02:09Earlier, each of you placed a pin on the map
02:11as to where you think Wrexham is located.
02:15Let's find out where Wrexham actually is on the UK map.
02:19It's in North Wales.
02:20Let's see where you put your pins.
02:25You're good at this!
02:27When you're good, you're good, I'll tell you.
02:28But when you're bad, you're very bad.
02:31Right, Nithin?
02:32I thought it had something to do with Kent and Norwich.
02:35Nithin, you were 221 miles away in Gravesend in Kent, to be exact.
02:41Kate, you were 44 miles away from Wrexham.
02:45You landed in the Shropshire town of Muchwenlock,
02:49which is considered to be the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games.
02:53Alex, you landed six miles from Wrexham city centre, so well done.
02:56Alex, you get the first point of the day.
02:58Congratulations.
02:58Love that.
02:59Well done, Nithin.
02:59Put that on there.
03:00Perfect.
03:01Very good.
03:01So, first question.
03:02Nithin, it's going to you.
03:04Good luck.
03:04It's time to say hello to our resident tour guide, Paul,
03:07who's kicking things off today with a story that's definitely not going to VAR.
03:16Welcome to Wrexham.
03:18Where have I heard that before?
03:20With a population of around 135,000 and originally just a town,
03:25this proud corner of North Wales officially became a city in 2022.
03:30Oh, I love a good upgrade.
03:31Founded way back in 1864, the Racecourse Ground is home to Wrexham AFC,
03:37and it's where the very first Welsh football international was played.
03:41And since 2020, the ground has been sprinkled with a little bit of Hollywood stardust,
03:46thanks to A-list owners Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds,
03:50and TV star Rob McElhenney, who've both turned the club and the city into global sensations.
03:59And in true blockbuster fashion, they've helped the club rise from the National League into the Championship,
04:06a proper underdog story with a Hollywood ending.
04:18Would you believe the Racecourse Ground is the world's oldest international football stadium
04:33that's still in use?
04:35I have no idea, but I think it's true.
04:39You believe it?
04:40Yeah.
04:41Are you right to believe it?
04:42Yes, you are.
04:44Well done, you get a point.
04:45Yes, the Racecourse Ground hosted its first international football match way back in 1877.
04:51Oh.
04:52Right, Kit, it's your question.
04:54Paul might be uncertified, but he is very organised.
04:57He can organise anything, especially if it involves a brewery.
05:07Wrexham has the oldest lager brewery in Wales, founded all the way back at the start of the 1880s
05:12by two German beer buddies.
05:14They didn't just bring their brewing skills from Deutschland, they brought innovation too,
05:19introducing Britain's first fully refrigerated cellars right here in Wrexham.
05:24Wunderbar.
05:27By the late 19th century, Wrexham lager was being shipped all over the world,
05:32served in top hotels and clubs.
05:37But would you believe it was the only lager served aboard the Titanic?
05:48Well, Reverend Kit, would you believe Wrexham lager was the only lager served aboard the Titanic?
05:55Well, it's old enough, isn't it?
05:57I believe that.
05:59Why?
05:59Just because of how old that lager is, I think it was served to the second and third class passengers.
06:05All right, so, we believe that it was served on board the Titanic.
06:13It was said to be popular on ships as it travelled well and it maintained its flavour.
06:20Oh, there you go.
06:21Right, well, they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
06:24It's crunch time for Paul.
06:29So far on our Wrexham tour, we've covered football and lager, so I'm sure you know what's coming next.
06:35That's right, folks, it's breakfast cereal.
06:37The Kellogg's factory here opened in Wrexham in 1978 with just 40 staff
06:43and has grown into the largest cereal factory in Europe.
06:48The man behind the brand, John Harvey Kellogg, was a doctor who believed that most health problems began in the
06:55digestive system.
06:56He was so into good gut health, regular exercise and a diet of simple, wholesome foods, and that's how Corn
07:03Flakes were born.
07:05Would you believe that Kellogg's celebrated 50 years of Corn Flakes by running a promotion hiding 24-carat gold roosters
07:13in random boxes?
07:15Well, would you?
07:19Right, Alex, would you believe that Kellogg's celebrated 50 years of Corn Flakes by running a promotion hiding 24-carat
07:27gold roosters in random boxes?
07:31Um, 24-carat gold rooster.
07:33The symbol is a rooster, though, isn't it, on the box?
07:35Yeah, but I think, you know, I think you'd see them popping up on Antiques Roadshow or...
07:40I think that's too much gold to be dishing out.
07:43I like the idea, but I just don't get it, I don't believe it.
07:45It's a great idea, but should we believe it?
07:49Yeah!
07:50I knew it.
07:50I thought you got a point.
07:51I knew it.
07:52Yes.
07:53Kellogg's haven't run this such promotion, though Cadbury's and Nestle have both run promotions involving hidden gold versions of their
08:01chocolate bars.
08:02Wow.
08:02Wow.
08:03That's the end of round one.
08:05So, let's have a look at the scores.
08:08Nathan and Kate, you both scored in that round, as did you, Alex, but because you were nearest the pin,
08:13you've got two points.
08:14Well, let's go.
08:14Well done, my friend.
08:16So, let's go back to Paul.
08:17Hmm, really?
08:19Another pub visit?
08:21Is your expenses?
08:26Talked about Wrexham's global fame thanks to Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, but it's not just Hollywood putting this place
08:33on the map, as Wrexham's produced some local legends too.
08:36Take football star Mark Hughes. Born right here, he went on to play for Manchester United, Barcelona and Chelsea, scoring
08:45regularly for both club and country before becoming one of Wales' most respected managers and pundits.
08:52And from the world of science and discovery, we have John Shanklin, born here in Wrexham in 1953.
09:02John Shanklin was part of a scientific team that discovered what?
09:06The cure for scurvy and immortal jellyfish or the hole in the ozone layer?
09:12Ah!
09:16I got a shock then.
09:18Oh, Paul's all right.
09:19Right, the first question is for you, Nathan.
09:21John Shanklin was part of a scientific team that discovered what?
09:25Is it a cure for scurvy, an immortal jellyfish?
09:29Or the hole in the ozone layer?
09:32Scurvy was, I don't think, in the picture.
09:34I think scurvy was sorted out way before.
09:37My gut says it's the hole in the ozone layer.
09:40I've never even heard of an immortal jellyfish.
09:42Go with your gut then.
09:43Okay, go with the ozone layer.
09:44We're going with the ozone layer.
09:46You've locked it in.
09:47Is that the right answer?
09:49Yay!
09:50It is the hole in the ozone layer.
09:52The hole in the ozone layer was discovered over the Antarctic by a team including Jonathan Shanklin, who was born
09:58in Wrexham.
09:59The immortal jellyfish is not exactly immortal, but if it is endangered or stressed, it can just reset and then
10:06regenerate a new body.
10:07Like the doctor.
10:09Like the doctor.
10:10Anyway, let's go to Paul, shall we?
10:12He's visiting somewhere that Rev Kidd will definitely enjoy.
10:20There's one landmark that truly defines Wrexham's skyline.
10:24It's this, St Giles' Church.
10:26This magnificent 135-foot tower has been here for centuries.
10:31It's not just any church either, as this is one of the Seven Wonders of Wales.
10:37When the tower of the old church was blown down in 1330, locals believed this was divine punishment for what?
10:44Allowing sheep to graze on church grounds, having a market day on a Sunday, or the vicar playing for Wrexham's
10:52rugby team.
10:54Well, which one is it?
10:57Kate, this is your question, so it's quite appropriate that it's fallen onto your lap.
11:01When the tower of St Giles' Church was blown down in 1330, locals believed this was divine punishment for what?
11:10Allowing sheep to graze on church grounds, having market day on a Sunday, or the vicar playing for Wrexham's rugby
11:19team.
11:19You're a rugby player yourself.
11:21I am, and I'm pretty certain that rugby wasn't around in 1330.
11:25And I'm pretty certain we didn't have vicars in 1330 either, because that was pre-Reformation.
11:29I think it's OK to graze sheep on church grounds.
11:32I'm going to go for breaking the Sabbath, having market day on a Sunday.
11:37You've locked in, having market day on Sunday, is that the right answer?
11:40Yes. Nice.
11:42Thank goodness you got that one.
11:43I know, right?
11:45I'd never work again, the archbishop would be on the phone.
11:47The deduction was great.
11:48Well done.
11:49Right, Alex, your question.
11:50Paul is staying inside St Giles' Church for this next one.
11:53Look away if you have a fear of mice and wool.
11:56And, of course, Big Paul.
12:01There's something peaceful about churches.
12:04It's serene, calm, so quiet in here.
12:08I'll be as quiet as a church mouse.
12:10And speaking of which, St Giles' Church has actually held its own church mouse festival.
12:16More than 400 handcrafted mice have filled this historic building,
12:21each one made by local groups to celebrate community life here in Wrexham.
12:31Well, this place isn't all peace and squeaks.
12:35Rumour has it there are tunnels deep beneath the floorboards that lead to pubs.
12:39And in 2015, this church made headlines when real-life treasure was uncovered.
12:45Something surprising had been hiding right under everyone's noses for years.
12:50But what did they find?
12:53A mooning gargoyle, a mummified heart, or a first edition King James Bible?
13:00Well, which one was it?
13:07Good question, Alex.
13:08What surprising item was found at St Giles' Church?
13:12Was it a mooning gargoyle, a mummified heart, or a first edition King James Bible?
13:19Hmm.
13:21A mummified heart.
13:22I'm not sure why that would be there.
13:24So a mooning gargoyle is probably what I'm leaning towards.
13:28You know, you come down into the whatever's down there, a mooning gargoyle.
13:31Pretty funny, right?
13:32I'm just visualising that, and it is quite funny.
13:35Yeah.
13:35Why would a gargoyle be down when gargoyles are up on the...
13:38That's why it's so funny.
13:38I guess so. That's why it's so unusual.
13:40No one would expect it.
13:41I think it's first edition.
13:42Let's have a look.
13:43You've locked in a mooning gargoyle.
13:45The answer is...
13:47The first edition King James Bible from 1611
13:51had been stored away at St Giles' Parish Church for centuries.
13:55Mooning gargoyles can be seen at several churches in England, in fact,
13:58including Eastern on the Hill, near Stamford,
14:01which has a hole for water drainage.
14:04Perfect.
14:05In 1886, a mummified heart was found in the Church of St Mary the Virgin
14:09in the Northamptonshire village of Woodford.
14:12There you go.
14:13Right.
14:14It's no time for a bonus question, so you know what you've got to do, team?
14:16Oh, fun.
14:17Grab your whiteboards.
14:18Here we go.
14:19The Welsh language still thrives in Wales.
14:22It's estimated that around 850,000 people in Wales can speak Welsh,
14:26including over 16,000 in the county borough of Wrexham.
14:32But it's not just in Wales.
14:35The community of U'u Ladwë is home to an estimated 5,000 Welsh speakers
14:41and is in which country?
14:43Is it Algeria?
14:45Is it Argentina?
14:46Or is it Austria?
14:53Right.
14:54Nithin, what have you got?
14:55As a younger actor,
14:57I did a TV show with Sean Bean
14:59and it was called Patagonia.
15:01And Patagonia is a place in South America
15:04where there was a Welsh community.
15:06And that's why I think it's in Argentina.
15:09Argentina, right.
15:11I know the same.
15:12The Welsh community over there went over to help with the mining,
15:15with setting up coal mines.
15:16That's why I know it's Patagonia in Argentina.
15:19Alex, to complete the full house?
15:21Honestly, I can't believe I went for Argentina!
15:24Yay!
15:25But is it the right answer?
15:28Yay!
15:31Yes, a group of around 150 Welsh people
15:33set sail to Argentina in 1865
15:36and the community they established survives today.
15:38U'u Ladwë means the colony in Welsh.
15:41Wow.
15:42And that's the end of that round,
15:43so let's have a look at the scores.
15:47Look at that!
15:48Yeah, we are wrapping up for the weekend.
15:50It's all square, three apiece.
15:52And it's time for the magical, wonderful, mystical round three.
15:55And we're going to have a detour to the souvenir shop.
15:57Each of you have got a selection of souvenirs
16:00that Paula's managed to send her away.
16:02All you need to do is tell me the exact cost of each item.
16:07Whoever's the closest gets the point.
16:09The first thing we're going to look at
16:10is the Welsh rugby garden norm.
16:13Oh, it's lovely.
16:15What do you think?
16:15It's not too heavy.
16:17Right.
16:17What's it made out of?
16:18Is it porcelain?
16:19It's wood or a tough kind of plastic.
16:22Right.
16:22It's sturdy.
16:23It's attractive.
16:25It would look good in anyone's garden.
16:27Reverend Kate, would you put that in the church garden?
16:29That would look lovely.
16:31In just the right spot.
16:32I can think, yeah, delightful.
16:34He can sing the Welsh national anthem.
16:35I think he's adorable.
16:36Perfect.
16:37Alex, would you be happy to receive that
16:39as an Englishman for a Christmas card birthday present?
16:41Not as an Englishman, probably.
16:42This is quite an actual representation of the guys
16:45who are playing for the Welsh rugby team at the minute.
16:46They do a better job with these guys.
16:48Shots fired.
16:49Yeah, not for me.
16:50No?
16:50All right.
16:51Well, get your whiteboards, please.
16:53Let's find out how much you think it's worth.
16:56It's a lovely, comedic, Welsh rugby garden gnome.
17:01Remember, the person to the nearest actual price
17:04will win a point.
17:06All right.
17:07So, Nithin, please reveal the price
17:09that someone would pay to take the garden gnome home.
17:11I think this is a reasonable £6.99.
17:14£6.99.
17:15Including that.
17:16Right, OK.
17:17Great mice think alike.
17:19I've gone for £6.99 as well.
17:23Alex.
17:23I've gone £12.99.
17:25Oh, they saw you coming.
17:27I'll do your deal.
17:28Two for 20.
17:29I can tell you that the actual price
17:31of the Welsh rugby garden gnome is...
17:35£11.45.
17:37You knew it.
17:37I know my nose.
17:38I knew it.
17:39You've won a point.
17:40Unbelievable work.
17:41Well done, my new friend.
17:42Unbelievable.
17:43Right, let's move on.
17:44Next up, we have a leek brooch.
17:46A leek brooch.
17:48It's got a pin with some felt
17:50and it looks like a leek.
17:53OK.
17:54We were conservative last time.
17:56Yeah, I'd say 25, 30 quid for this, Ray.
18:00People would recognise it as a leek.
18:02It looks lovely on your suit.
18:04It looks like a leek.
18:05Yeah.
18:05Right, what do you think?
18:06Nithin.
18:07OK, if I saw this price,
18:08I think it's overpriced,
18:09but given what just happened
18:10with the gnome,
18:12I think this would be £4.99.
18:13£4.99?
18:14Kate?
18:15Full agree from me.
18:16I go for £4.99 as well.
18:17What's going on here?
18:18I don't know.
18:18Nothing's going on.
18:19I wouldn't think we might have to see you behind him.
18:21All right.
18:22Alex, what have you said?
18:23Well, if you move her,
18:24you've got to move me.
18:24£4.99.
18:25We've got up on £4.99.
18:26Right.
18:27I can tell you
18:29that the actual price
18:31of the leek brooch
18:32is...
18:34£7.95.
18:35You're all going to get a point.
18:37Inflation, man.
18:38Wow, that's never happened.
18:39That's really expensive.
18:40£7.95.
18:41Right, the next thing
18:41is the daffodil headband.
18:44It's kind of like dealy boppers,
18:46but they don't dealy bop.
18:47So if you'd all like
18:48to place them on your heads,
18:49then you can stare at each other
18:50with the daffodil headband,
18:52perfectly situated on your noggin.
18:54I think this is the kind of thing
18:55that you would see, Alex,
18:56at the Welsh international rugby games.
18:58You would if anyone
18:59was going to the games anymore.
19:00It's just me.
19:02England are on top at the minute.
19:04We've got to enjoy it
19:04while it lasts.
19:06Right, write down your prices, please,
19:07of the daffodil headband.
19:11No looking over,
19:13Reverend Kate.
19:14Okay.
19:15All right, Nathan,
19:15we'll start with you.
19:16What have you put...
19:16I've gone for $16.50.
19:18Woof.
19:19I'm not far away.
19:20I've gone 15 quid.
19:2215 pounds.
19:22I've gone a little bit under.
19:23I've gone $11.99.
19:24You've gone $11.99, right.
19:25Well, the actual price
19:27of the daffodil headband is...
19:30$8.99!
19:31Come on!
19:33Alex, you've won another point.
19:34Come on, that's three from three.
19:35All right, well,
19:36let's take a look at the scores
19:37after round three.
19:38You're ahead.
19:40Nitin and Kate,
19:41you've got four.
19:42Alex, you're in the lead.
19:44That's what we like to see.
19:47All right, let's go back to Paul now,
19:48who's checking out the local bus station.
19:54Wrexham sits proudly at the top of North Wales,
19:57perfectly placed for getting around.
19:59It's got solid train and bus links
20:01to Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham,
20:03and beyond.
20:05You can travel the country by bus,
20:08yet there's something oddly comforting
20:10about the fact that no matter how far you all go,
20:13you end up right back here in Wrexham.
20:16Planes, trains, automobiles,
20:18I love them all,
20:19except helicopters.
20:21Even Tom Cruise makes them look stressful.
20:24But would you believe Wrexham was a stop for passengers
20:27on the world's first scheduled helicopter service?
20:31Well, would you?
20:38Nitin, would you believe Wrexham was a stop
20:42for passengers on the world's first scheduled helicopter service?
20:48I wouldn't say that was easy knowledge,
20:51especially for someone like me.
20:52I know that some of those taxi hailing applications,
20:55you can now get a boat down the Thames.
20:58Yeah.
20:59I don't know whether you can hail a helicopter.
21:01Well, you know, it's North Wales.
21:03North Wales is beautiful.
21:05The hills, the mountains around there are gorgeous,
21:07so there's got to be helicopter rides and stuff going on.
21:10It was a stop, though.
21:11It was a stop for passengers.
21:13Maybe the reason...
21:13So it's on the way to somewhere.
21:16So I'm going to say it's weird and I believe it.
21:20Yeah.
21:20All right.
21:21Is it weird enough to be an actual fact?
21:25Yeah!
21:26Well done.
21:28Starting in 1950,
21:29there was a scheduled helicopter route
21:31linking Liverpool, Wrexham and Cardiff.
21:33Ah, that'll be why.
21:34The return fare from Wrexham to Liverpool
21:36was just £1.
21:37The service was short-lived
21:39due to high running costs and limited capacity
21:41and only 219 passengers
21:43were carried in the whole life of the service.
21:47There you go.
21:47Well done.
21:48You get a point.
21:48Well done.
21:49Right, Reverend Kate, it's your turn.
21:50Ready.
21:50And Paul is trying his hand
21:52at one of the most popular sports around,
21:56paddle.
21:57Oh, it's...
21:58Yeah, it's big fish.
22:03Wrexham's sporting stories don't end with football.
22:05Turns out they've got quite the thing for rackets too.
22:08Wrexham Tennis and Paddle Centre
22:10is home to serves, volleys
22:12and a sport that's taking the UK by storm.
22:19If you've not played it,
22:21paddle's usually a doubles game.
22:22Though you can play singles
22:23if you're feeling brave.
22:25It's basically what happens
22:27when tennis and squash
22:28have a hyperactive child.
22:30Faster, louder,
22:31and depending on who you play against,
22:33potentially friendship ending.
22:36It's one of the few sports
22:37where the walls can hit back
22:38and you can't blame the wind
22:40if you lose.
22:42Yes!
22:43But would you believe that when hit,
22:46a paddle ball can travel faster
22:47than a formerly-a-won car?
22:51Well, would you?
22:56Kate, are you a paddle player?
22:58Absolutely not.
22:59Alex?
22:59I've played once before.
23:00Yeah, nothing?
23:01Pretty fun.
23:01I know, but I know the game.
23:03I've watched the game.
23:04I've watched people play
23:05and it's very intense.
23:06People say it's very addictive as well.
23:08Yeah.
23:08All right, well,
23:09would you believe
23:09that when hit,
23:10a paddle ball
23:11can travel faster
23:12than a Formula One car?
23:13What I'm thinking about
23:14is how fast you serve at Wimbledon.
23:16The serve comes up at Wimbledon
23:18and it's always
23:19just over 100 miles an hour
23:20kind of thing.
23:21I don't know
23:22how fast a Formula One car goes.
23:24Does anybody want
23:24to help me out on this one?
23:25It's around top speed
23:26200 miles an hour.
23:27Right, right.
23:27So I don't believe it.
23:29You don't believe it?
23:30No.
23:30We don't believe it.
23:31We don't believe it.
23:31We really don't believe it.
23:35Yeah!
23:37A paddle ball
23:37can reach 80 miles an hour
23:39whereas an F1 car
23:40can regularly,
23:41and they do exceed
23:42200 miles an hour,
23:43but a badminton shuttlecock
23:44can go even faster.
23:46The record speed is
23:49351 miles per hour.
23:51Right.
23:52Are you ready, Alex?
23:53Let's do it.
23:54Good stuff.
23:54Paul is trying to get over
23:55his fear of heights
23:56without any luck.
24:00Just outside Wrexham,
24:02high above the River Dee,
24:03stands one of Wales'
24:04most jaw-dropping sights,
24:06the Pont Cacilfe Aqueduct.
24:08It's the longest
24:09and highest aqueduct
24:11in the UK,
24:12stretching for more
24:13than 300 metres
24:14and standing
24:15almost 40 metres high.
24:17And, uh,
24:18oh, yeah, yeah,
24:19I get it.
24:20It's really narrow.
24:20I don't want to do it.
24:21I want to go home.
24:22No, Paul,
24:23you have to film the show
24:23because we paid you for it.
24:25Follow me.
24:27Taking 10 years to build,
24:29the aqueduct was designed
24:30by engineers Thomas Telford
24:31and William Jessup
24:33to carry the Clangollen Canal
24:35across the valley.
24:36Made up of 18 hollow stone piers
24:39supporting a cast-iron trough,
24:41the construction was one
24:42of the very first times
24:43that iron was used
24:44on this scale
24:45anywhere in Europe.
24:46and today
24:47it's a UNESCO
24:48World Heritage site.
24:50But which of these ingredients
24:52was included
24:52in the mortar used
24:53for the aqueduct's construction?
24:55Was it blood
24:56or beer?
24:58Well, which one is it?
25:03Another amazing feat
25:05of engineering.
25:07It's very impressive.
25:08Incredible.
25:08Alex,
25:09which of these ingredients
25:11was included
25:11in the mortar used
25:12for the Pont Cacilfte aqueduct?
25:14Was it blood
25:15or beer?
25:16I'm trying to think
25:17why blood would have been involved.
25:20Maybe it was literally made
25:21with blood, sweat and tears.
25:22Could be something
25:23to do with the iron in the blood.
25:25Could be.
25:26Could be.
25:27That sounds kind of
25:28witchcrafty type stuff, doesn't it?
25:30How would you get enough blood?
25:31I would hate for it to be blood as well.
25:32I can't even imagine.
25:34It's got to be...
25:34Doesn't it have to be human blood?
25:35No.
25:36It could have been any...
25:37I mean, blood...
25:38When or how?
25:38It could be in the mortar.
25:40Mixing it in the mortar,
25:41maybe...
25:42I think I'm just going
25:44to go with beer.
25:45They like a drink in Wales.
25:47A couple of breweries in town.
25:48Maybe they've got to go with beer.
25:50All right.
25:50Going to go with beer.
25:51Is that the right answer?
25:53Oh, my goodness.
25:55It's blood.
25:57The use of oxblood in mortar
25:58was a common practice
25:58to strengthen it
25:59and improve its durability,
26:01particularly against
26:01freeze-thaw cycles.
26:03Right.
26:03Let's take a look
26:05at the scores
26:05at the end of that round.
26:07Here we go.
26:09He's still ahead.
26:09Holding on.
26:10Still ahead.
26:10We're all about one.
26:11And we know what's next.
26:12It's the final round,
26:13the quickfire round.
26:14And she's very good.
26:16Here we go.
26:17Remember,
26:17all you've got to do
26:18is fill in the blanks.
26:19If you give me a wrong answer,
26:20you'll be frozen out.
26:21If you give me a right answer,
26:22you'll win a point.
26:23Fingers on buzzers.
