00:11Hello and welcome to Do You Know Your Place? Now there's nothing better than discovering a
00:16new spot on your doorstep but how much do we really know about our own country? Well
00:21that's what we're here to discover with the help of Paul, our ever helpful tour guide who'll be
00:26taking us all over the United Kingdom so let's sort the likely from the ludicrous
00:31as we play Do You Know Your Place? Right playing this week we have a man who's
00:39completed a 24-hour drumming marathon and no horse ready or two early breakfast he
00:45gets us all going with a one, two, three, four in the morning. Oh I'm with Evans everyone and I've
00:53got a lot in common with our next guest because when I asked if I could have an
00:56MBE they told me to take a running jump. It's Greg Rutherford MBE! Now we really
01:03wanted a Blue Peter presenter on the show so here's one we made earlier. Abby Cook everyone!
01:11First of all, Owen, being a weather person you must know the UK like the back of your
01:17hand. The thing is then when you're doing the weather the map is always behind you
01:21so you know you can just turn around and look at it and all the place names are there but
01:25I don't
01:26know I haven't done the weather for a couple of years now so I might be a bit rusty. Oh
01:30come on
01:31it's just like drumming! I'm getting the excuses in earlier! Definitely an advantage!
01:35All right well good luck on the show Owen! Thank you! Greg welcome! Thank you for having me! Because
01:40you're an athlete Greg does it mean you're extremely competitive? I switch it on and off so I know I'm
01:45good
01:45at in life but if it's something that I think I'm good at I'll be quite competitive with. I will
01:49not
01:49be good at this I will try very hard I'm a try hard but I would I'll have a lot
01:53of fun.
01:54All right it might be a lot of work putting in an athletics track but in your back garden do
01:57you have
01:57a sandpit? Yeah don't do it anybody considering it don't put one in your back it's a complete waste of
02:04time! Greg welcome good luck! Thank you! Abby welcome to the show! I'm so happy to be here thank you!
02:10You're the
02:1042nd presenter of Blue Peter yes the longest-running children's TV program in the UK if not the world
02:18the world the whole world we're going to talk about the UK and as a Blue Peter presenter you get
02:23sent out
02:24on various missions do you think your knowledge of the UK is up to scratch so I have traveled the
02:31length
02:31of the UK but I never look at the map so I don't think I'm gonna do well all right
02:37well this is gonna
02:38be fun yeah we'll see how we get on today you're sorting fact from fiction in Belfast yes looking
02:45forward to this one now earlier on you placed a pin on the map where you think Belfast actually is
02:52now
02:52before we find out where you think it is let's find out where Belfast actually is let's find out where
02:59you put your pins this is close pretty good Greg you were furthest away I'm afraid you were 30 miles
03:09off and you hit the village of Portavoghi you landed on a phone and electronics repair business
03:17and there's Adam at work in the office oh look he looks pleased that I've popped in to say hello
03:24right next up very close between Owain and Abby Owain you landed 12 miles away up the Antrim coast
03:31in Carrickfergus lovely yeah Abby you were a smidge closer oh you hit the posh village of Helens Bayre in
03:39North County Dharon
03:4011 miles away from Belfast so Abby you get the first point of the show well done hey yeah one
03:47mile one mile
03:49it's time to say hello to our resident tour guide Paul now he's kicking things off in Belfast with a
03:54crash course on the crack another local slang
04:01Bouchy welcome to Belfast home to almost 350 000 people all enjoying a wee bit of crack
04:08even when it's Baltic and if this lingo is a bit of a melter and leaving your brain a bit
04:13banjax
04:14then fear not as I'm here to explain a few choice Belfast expressions so please do try and keep up
04:21come on
04:25let's start with the basics crack essentially it's a term to describe fun banter and good times with
04:32friends or even just having a laugh for example Vernon's good crack and here in Belfast City Centre
04:40a good night's crack often starts right here at Belfast City Hall as it's a popular rendezvous
04:46spot to kick things off any day of the week designed by Alfred Brumwell Thomas it first opened its doors
04:53in 1906 but would you believe there is an exact replica of Belfast City Hall in South Africa
05:07it's a gorgeous building and I spotted a nice velvet rope and I do like a velvet rope you're
05:19always behind them always behind them darling always behind them so I'm thinking I've never heard of an
05:26exact replica of a building before which I think might make this special so I'm going to say yes
05:32I believe it are you right to believe it yes you get a point or one yes architect Stanley G
05:40Hudson was
05:41so inspired by Belfast City Hall that when the city of Durban in South Africa was looking for a design
05:47for its old City Hall he submitted a design that was exactly the same as the Belfast City Hall oh
05:53thanks
05:54Stanley yeah there you go right Greg it's your turn are you ready let's go for it all right Paul
05:58is wandering into the magical world of lions witches and wardrobes
06:05right here in East Belfast is CS Lewis Square named after the world famous author who gables the
06:12chronicles of Narnia in his most famous book the lion the witch and the wardrobe a group of children
06:20discover a mystical world hidden at the back of a wardrobe where they meet all sorts of creatures from
06:27a talking lion to a half man half goat and here in Belfast his legacy proudly lives on in stone
06:36story and a
06:37sprinkle of magic I'll talk to you in a minute that's my ex and would you believe CS Lewis was
06:44inspired to write the chronicles of Narnia when he saw a wardrobe with no back on it well would you
06:54Greg what do you think would you believe CS Lewis was inspired to write the chronicles of Narnia
06:59when he saw a wardrobe with no back on it I don't know I feel like CS Lewis was such
07:05a bright
07:06intelligent man it was something else something wonderful I'm gonna say no all right you don't
07:11believe it no I don't believe it is that the right answer yeah well done Greg yes very good he
07:18was
07:18actually inspired by his grandfather's hand carved wardrobe I'm gonna assume there was lots of lovely
07:24things carved into it and that's what's done it probably lions witches and other stuff Abbie your
07:30turn Paul is up next to tell us about Belfast's most recognizable French silhouette imagine having
07:41a hill named after you not bad eh well that's exactly what the good people of Belfast did because this
07:46little mound right here is called Napoleon's nose and if you look closely you'll see why it got the name
07:53as the distinctive outline just looks like the profile of Napoleon Bonaparte himself this hill
07:59offers some of the best views of all of Belfast and on a clear day you can stand on this
08:05giant version
08:06of Napoleon's nose and see all the way to Scotland now Napoleon was famously small but Napoleon's nose
08:13here is massive little people giant sounds like a fantasy world right but would you believe that
08:20Belfast Hills inspired Gulliver's Travels well would you so Abby would you believe the Belfast Hills inspired
08:34Gulliver's Travels who wrote Gulliver's Travels it's probably not from Northern Ireland is he Jonathan
08:41Swift was the writer Swift sounds not a relation of Taylor Swift probably it's it sounds English
08:50maybe went for a little holiday I feel like it's quite a tenuous link I'm gonna say I don't believe
08:56it you don't believe it I don't believe it let's take a look
09:02it's a true fact good fun fact though the silhouette of Cave Hill resembles a sleeping giant and in
09:08fact the studio that we're in right now where we're recording is on Gulliver's Drive in Belfast
09:13should have looked up the address there you go all right that's the end of Rome 1 so let's take
09:18a
09:18look at the scores Abby Greg and Owen you all have one point this could be competitive time for Rome
09:252
09:25now Paul is dodging the Belfast rain in very colorful style
09:32I've brought us to Belfast Cathedral Quarter where they've come up with the perfect all-in-one
09:39rainproof solution 21 illuminated umbrellas hanging overhead the umbrella installation officially
09:49titled no rain no rainbows is located above commercial courts the cobbled alleyway besides the Duke of
09:56York pub it's perfect for enjoying a pint of stout beneath the canopy and speaking of the black stuff
10:05which of these countries drinks more Guinness than the Republic of Ireland is it the UK the USA or Nigeria
10:32I've never tried Guinness what I know I'm going to say the USA only because I think that a lot
10:40of people who live in North America
10:42seem proud of their Irish or Northern Irish heritage so I think that you know
10:49maybe the Guinness thing would buy into that or they would buy into that as a product to raise a
10:56little glass to
10:57let's see if you are right is the USA the right answer
11:01no it's the United Kingdom
11:03no way yes the UK drinks an estimated 2.2 million pints of Guinness per year more than
11:09any other country though Guinness is very very popular in Nigeria as well what well I wasn't expecting
11:15that right Greg your question is coming up next and Paul is having a trip around Queens University next
11:21brushing up on his Belfast forecast whilst trying his very very best to blend in with the students
11:30founded in 1845 by Queen Victoria this is Queen's University one of the oldest in the UK and a
11:38brilliant spot in Belfast for a wee dander a dander you say
11:47and now you have had a crash course in the Belfast Brogue so it's time for a test we are
11:54in a
11:54university after all pens at the ready which of these is not a local slang word hoke which means to
12:02look poke which means an ice cream or joke which means five pound note Vernon Kay are you chewing
12:12can I have one
12:19right Greg what do you reckon which of these is not a local slang word is it hoke to look
12:25poke an ice
12:27cream or joke a five pound note have you heard any of those I've heard the original of them a
12:34joke
12:34obviously telling a joke poke someone and of course the famous hoke yeah I'm gonna go with
12:42a joke a joke not being a five pound note is that the right answer yes it is well done
12:50Greg
12:50with the MBE you got a point excellent stuff right Abby you ready yeah don't be nervous it's fine
12:58it's only Paul all right and he's taking us back to the future
13:10with it's ambitious design stainless steel body and futuristic flair the DeLorean was manufactured
13:17right here in Belfast
13:25the DeLorean motor company was founded by american engineer john DeLorean who dreamed of building a
13:32revolutionary sports car the car with its gallwing doors and brushed stainless steel finish look like
13:38something straight out of the future oh the DeLorean gained iconic status from the back to the future films
13:48so the car remains one of Belfast's most famous and sought-after creations but which of these was
13:54invented by a vet in Belfast to help his young son was it the pneumatic tire the automatic indicator or
14:02the winged mirror and the winged mirror go to the wing mirror
14:05which one do you think it is we're going we don't need answers I've never seen Ghostbusters mate
14:19all right Abby which of these was invented by a vet in Belfast to help out his young son was
14:28it the
14:28Pneumatic tyre, the automatic indicator, or the wing mirror?
14:34Ooh, how interesting.
14:35I mean, I have pneumatic tyres.
14:38So those are the tyres that got some air in them.
14:40So I have a set of them here.
14:42Automatic indicator, is that when you just like,
14:44pop it up and it keeps go?
14:46Yeah.
14:47Surely they had wing mirrors before.
14:49I wonder about automatic indicator to just, I guess,
14:52keep it up, and pneumatic tyres,
14:53you would think they already had them.
14:56I'm going to go with automatic indicator,
14:57because I feel like it solves a problem
14:59that you wouldn't have to just keep pushing it up.
15:02All right, we're going automatic indicator.
15:03Is it the right answer?
15:06No!
15:08You were so close.
15:09You're literally on top of the answer.
15:11I'm literally sitting on them.
15:12You are.
15:13Oh, that's upsetting.
15:14You are.
15:14I wonder what problem it is, though.
15:16You are.
15:16Well, they were invented in 1887 by John Boyd Dunlop,
15:21hence the Dunlop Tyre Company.
15:23He created it for his son's tricycle
15:25so he could safely ride on Belfast's bumpy streets.
15:28Oh, interesting.
15:30Yeah, there you go.
15:30That's a...
15:31Good fact.
15:31We're learning so much.
15:33Yeah, we are.
15:34I feel like we're in school with the little desks as well.
15:37Right, time now for a bonus question.
15:38It's for you all.
15:39So grab your whiteboards, please.
15:42Which of these Northern Ireland innovations came along in 1890?
15:47Was it the aircraft ejector seat,
15:51the football penalty kick,
15:53or the portable defibrillator?
15:56Ooh, tough one, this.
15:57It is really tough, though, isn't it?
15:59Yeah.
16:01OK.
16:03Oh, Ian, we'll start with you. What have you put?
16:05I've gone for the ejection seat.
16:08OK. Gregory?
16:09So I've gone with the penalty kick
16:10and I've attempted to draw a goal.
16:12And finally, Abi, what have you chosen?
16:14YOLO. I don't know.
16:15We have one of each.
16:17Oh, yeah. You've gone for the defibrillator.
16:18So at least one person will get a point.
16:19And that one person with the correct answer is...
16:23Greg!
16:24Yay!
16:24Well done.
16:27Bravo to you.
16:27The penalty kick was proposed by William McCrum,
16:30a goalkeeper from County Armagh in 1890.
16:33The ejector seat was developed by James Martin in the 1940s,
16:37and the portable defibrillator was invented in the 1960s
16:41by Professor Frank Pantridge.
16:44Well done, Greg.
16:45That's an extra point for you.
16:46And that is, of course, the end of that round,
16:48so let's take a look at the scores.
16:51Greg has crept into the lead with three points.
16:55There's a long way to go, though, Greg.
16:56Maxed out early.
16:57That'd be it.
16:58That'd be it.
16:59All right, gang, it's round three.
17:01This is where we take a break from our tour with Paul,
17:04and today we're taking a detour to the souvenir shop.
17:07You're going to like this.
17:08You've each got a selection of souvenirs.
17:10All you need to do is work out how much they cost.
17:14Ooh.
17:15Whoever's closest gets the point.
17:18First up is the candle.
17:20That's the yellow item with the black lid.
17:22Unscrew the lid.
17:23Inhale.
17:24I can tell you that this is a cheese and onion scented candle.
17:27Grim.
17:27That's horrendous.
17:28Why would you want your house to smell like that?
17:30What?
17:31I mean, I love a cheese pasty.
17:33Don't get me wrong.
17:34It's a bit like somebody that's eaten too many cheese and onion crisps.
17:39It literally sort of punches you in the face and burns.
17:45Abi, what are your initial thoughts of the cheese and onion scented candles?
17:48Your eyes are actually watering.
17:51It's so grim.
17:52Who is buying that?
17:54Because I want to have a talk to them.
17:56Someone with friends they don't like.
17:58But I will say it's a very, very, very popular souvenir.
18:03Please, write down how much you think that cheese and onion scented candle costs.
18:12All right, Owain, how much do you think the cheese and onion scented candle is worth?
18:15I'm going to go as low as I possibly can, and I'm going to say one pound.
18:18All right, a pound.
18:19Fair enough.
18:19Greg?
18:20It's worth a lot less than this, but I've gone for a random £12.99.
18:23A stinky £12.99.
18:24A stinky £12.99.
18:25A stinky £12.99.
18:26Abi?
18:26It's very niche.
18:28So I'll get £14.
18:29£14.
18:30Yeah.
18:30Account for inflation.
18:31Right, OK.
18:32Well, I can tell you that the actual price of the cheese and onion scented candle is...
18:41£15.
18:42I mean, you're the closest thing.
18:43I spend too much time a gift shop.
18:45Maybe you do.
18:46Well done.
18:47All right, item number two is a melter mug.
18:51Write down how much you think it costs.
18:55Good weight on it.
18:56The melter is a local slang word for someone who is annoying or irritating.
19:02You don't want to be getting this mug?
19:04No.
19:09All right, Owen, what do you think?
19:10I think, you know, it is a souvenir.
19:12You would find it in a shop and therefore the markup is going to be a little bit higher.
19:16I'm going to say £6.99.
19:18All right, Greg?
19:19I've gone off for the fact that that is incredibly overpriced and gone towards a tenner.
19:24Right, £9.99.
19:25Yeah.
19:26Abi?
19:26I've gone along the same lines.
19:28I've gone £10 exactly.
19:29All right, well, I can tell you that the actual price of the melter mug in our gift shop is...
19:36£7.
19:37Well done, Owen.
19:38One penny of it.
19:39You're a penny of it.
19:40Yes.
19:41Very good.
19:42Very good.
19:43Finally, we have the Aunt Sandra's milk chocolate, the Belfast bar.
19:48Open it, have a look, maybe have a taste.
19:50All right, yeah.
19:51How much do you think it costs?
19:53I used to have an Aunt Sandra.
19:54Did you?
19:55Yeah.
19:56She didn't make chocolate though, unfortunately.
19:58That's all right.
19:58Is it good?
19:59Yeah, it's a good chocolate.
20:01Aunt Sandra knows what she's doing.
20:02All right, how much do you think Aunt Sandra's chocolate bar, the Belfast chocolate bar, is actually worth?
20:09Okay.
20:10How much do you reckon, Owen?
20:11I think eight quid.
20:12Eight pound?
20:13Yeah.
20:13Oh, it's a good quality chocolate, is it?
20:15I think Aunt Sandra goes after quality.
20:16She's gone for the nice gold wrapper as well.
20:18All of these things cost money.
20:20Yeah.
20:20Eight quid.
20:21Nice.
20:21Greg?
20:22I think it should be in and around what others cost, about four pounds.
20:26Okay.
20:27Abby?
20:27I've actually gone with £3.99.
20:29Ooh.
20:30Well, I can tell you that Aunt Sandra's chocolate, the big Belfast bar, is actually worth...
20:36Three pounds!
20:38Which means, Abby, you beat Greg by a penny!
20:40Yay!
20:40Andy!
20:43All right, that's the end of round three.
20:44Let's take a look at the scores.
20:47Abby and Greg neck and neck at the front.
20:50Oh, aye.
20:51By just one point, still all to play for.
20:54Here we go.
20:54Paul is now diving into Titanic history next.
20:58A ship that was definitely fine when it left Belfast.
21:05Okay, so by now you've all seen the movie Titanic, right?
21:09It's grossed billions and still ranks amongst the highest earning films of all time.
21:13But if you want the full Titanic experience, then Belfast is the place to be.
21:18As here in the Titanic quarter, you get insights to the facts that the movie just can't give you.
21:24You'll discover stories of the people who built her, sailed on her and the city that still takes pride in
21:30her legacy.
21:31It's an experience that's part history, part heartbreak and 100% Belfast.
21:38The building's design is shaped like four interlocking ship hulls with a shimmering facade that mirrors the hull of the
21:45original Titanic.
21:47But would you believe a story about the unsinkable Titan hitting an iceberg in the North Atlantic was published more
21:53than ten years before the disaster?
22:10It almost seems too creepy to be real with the name Titan Titanic.
22:22But, Vernon, I'm going to say, yeah, I do believe this one.
22:25I quite like a spooky story like this.
22:27Because it's so out there...
22:29Yeah.
22:30..that it has to be true.
22:31It has to be true, surely.
22:33All right, well, should we believe it?
22:36Yes!
22:37Well done.
22:38Yes.
22:39In early 1898, there was a novella called Futility.
22:44It's about a ship named Titan that sinks in the Atlantic Ocean after striking an iceberg.
22:50Wow.
22:51Greg, your turn. Are you ready?
22:52Let's go for it.
22:53Let's find what Paul is up to.
22:55He's feeling small while standing beneath Belfast's giants.
23:02These are the Harland and Wolf Cranes known locally as Samson and Goliath, named after biblical strong men.
23:09They've dominated the Belfast skyline for over 50 years and they now dominate mugs, hats and t-shirts.
23:16You name it, if it stands still long enough in Belfast, someone's probably printed these cranes on it.
23:23The cranes' combined lifting capacity is over 1,700 tonnes.
23:27That's enough to lift the International Space Station.
23:31But which of these objects are the cranes also capable of lifting?
23:35The Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower?
23:40Or which one is it?
23:43All right, Greg, take a look.
23:45Which of these objects are the cranes capable of lifting?
23:49The Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower?
23:52Eiffel Tower, lots of gaps and everything else through it.
23:54The Statue of Liberty is a relatively dense copper structure.
23:58And I'm going to say...
24:01The Statue of Liberty.
24:02Is the right answer!
24:04Yes!
24:04Yes!
24:05Well done.
24:05Samson and Goliath can lift well over 800 tonnes each for a combined total of 1,740 tonnes.
24:13The Statue of Liberty is 225 tonnes, one crane.
24:16Could easily lift that.
24:18The Eiffel Tower is 10,100 tonnes.
24:21Right.
24:22Let's say au revoir to the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty.
24:26It's time to go to our Paul for another stop, who is discovering how Belfast is shaping the future.
24:31Paul.
24:35Here in Belfast Harbour, innovation is literally powering the future.
24:39As Artemis Technologies, a local company with big ideas,
24:43is leading the charge towards zero-emission marine technology.
24:50Their electric-powered EF-12 workboat is built right here in Belfast
24:55and proof that the city that built one of the greatest ships in the world
24:58is now building one of the greenest ones.
25:01From shipbuilding to sustainability, Belfast continues to lead the way
25:06and proving once again that this city doesn't just build boats, it builds the future.
25:13But would you believe that this boat can fly?
25:20Abby, would you believe that that boat can fly?
25:24I mean, you get a green badge for that, a green-blue Peter badge.
25:27Very eco-friendly. Love this.
25:30What do you mean by fly?
25:31I guess, like, you have hovercrafts that kind of go on the water.
25:36Is that classed as flying, though?
25:38Can the boat fly?
25:40I mean, if it's like a plane, probably not.
25:44But the fly is in quotations, which makes me think the flying isn't the traditional flight of like this.
25:51You know what? I'm not going to believe that the boat can fly.
25:56You're saying you don't believe it?
25:58I don't believe it.
25:58No.
26:01Oh!
26:02Wow!
26:03Yes, you should have believed it.
26:06The foil, which is a wing-like structure underneath the boat, elevates the hull out of the water, making it
26:13fly.
26:14It's some kind of fly and it's just not touching the water anymore.
26:17Right, that's the end of the round, so let's have a look at the scores.
26:21Oh!
26:22Oh!
26:22And Abby, you are tied on three, but right in the middle at the top of the podium.
26:27No surprise.
26:28It's Greg Rutherford with four points.
26:30Big surprise over here.
26:31Wow!
26:33Good stuff.
26:33Now, the scores could all change in this final round of quick-fire questions.
26:36All you've got to do is fill in the blanks, gang.
26:38Fingers by your buzzers.
26:39Here's your first question about Belfast.
26:44Legendary Belfast footballer.
26:49Greg.
26:50It's George Best.
26:51It is George Best.
26:52Yes, well done.
26:53Next question.
26:57Abby.

27:01It is a seahorse.
27:02Well done, Abby.
27:03Yes, point for you.
27:04Here we go.
27:11Greg.
27:12Catchphrase.
27:12Say what you see.
27:15Well done in his catchphrase.
27:16Yes.
27:18Belfast was once famous for this fabric.
27:23Greg.
27:24Linen.
27:24Yes, it is linen.
27:26Well done.
27:28Time is up.

27:40Well done.

27:44So, Greg, you get three points for winning today.
27:46Abby, you get two points.
27:48And Owen, you get one point.
27:50But, Greg, that means you get the much sought-after postcard from Paul.
27:54Ah, fantastic.
27:55That's going in the downstairs toilet.
27:57Yeah.
27:57Not only that, we're going to give you your own DeLorean.

28:01Albeit one that you can put on the mantelpiece.
28:03Yeah.
28:03But it lights up.
28:04Well, my kids are going to love that.
28:06Congratulations.
