00:15quite like uncovering a hidden gem close to home but how well do we actually know
00:20our own country well that's what we're here to find out with a little bit of
00:25help from our resident tour guide Paul who'll be whisking us around the UK
00:29some of his knowledge is absolutely on point the rest complete duds and it's up to our three
00:35players to work out which is which let's separate the credible from the crazy as we play do you know
00:41your place playing this week of course he brings the sunshine to our screens rain or shine it's the
00:51fabulous oh I'm when Evans next up he's leapt his way into the record books and into our hearts
00:59Olympic champion and all-round jumping legend Greg Rutherford and finally she's fun fearless and
01:07fabulous it's blue peter presenter Abby Cook now before we start today let's take a look at our
01:14weekly leaderboard we saw last night that things are getting very tight at the top Abby is in second
01:22place with six points however Greg and Owen share the top spot with seven there's a tussle at the top
01:30as they say will Greg shine bright with another gold medal or will the others creep up and poke him
01:35from
01:35behind and steal victory we'll find out now today you're sorting fact from fiction in Kirkby Longsdale
01:43now let's kick things off as we always do by putting your geography skills to the test now the first
01:48thing we have to do is find out exactly where Kirkby Longsdale is on the map yeah there it is
01:55Kirkby
01:55Longsdale up there in Cumbria now here's the fun bit earlier each of you placed a pin on the map
02:01as to
02:01where you think Kirkby Longsdale is located Greg you are way off the mark today you are 105 miles away
02:12in
02:12Hope Valley in the Peak District oh lovely I'll be your second closest today you landed 60 miles away in
02:18the village of Latham in Lancashire oh dear however our wine congratulations thank you take the point because
02:26you landed in Preston which is just down the road 45 miles away from Kirby Longsdale well played good pin
02:32action
02:33you get a point thank you very much yes we're up and running so it's time to visit our dear
02:40friend
02:41Paul and he's going to kick off with centuries of history breathtaking views and a surprising link to a
02:47childhood favourite welcome to Kirby Lonsdale home to a picture-perfect population just shy of 2000
02:57this Cumbrian town is nestled between the Lake District the Yorkshire Dales and Lancashire it's
03:03famous for being one of the loveliest views in England according to our critic John Ruskin so
03:08let's get going standing here since the 1100 St Mary's Church is a beautiful blend of Norman and
03:18gothic architecture and has been at the heart of the town for almost a thousand years it's former
03:25vicar Reverend Llewellyn Davies served here from 1889 to 1908 and Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie was
03:33a close family friend Barrie was a frequent visitor to the vicarage and became enchanted by the Davies
03:40family the vicar's son Arthur is said to have inspired Mr. Darling while his grandsons became the
03:46models for the lost boys but would you believe the girl's name Wendy was virtually unheard of until Peter Pan
04:03was published do you believe it or not I believe it because I think that when Peter Pan came out
04:11it
04:11was huge I imagine and then the name Wendy I imagine would have become popular you see that in a
04:17lot of
04:17children's films and cartoons so why not with Peter Pan yeah all right so you believe it yeah are we
04:23right to believe it though yes well done all right first question first point good stuff the name
04:29exploded in popularity after Peter Pan was published before that it was really really rare and the very
04:37few instances Wendy was documented were usually boys names really yeah yeah boys names well done you get
04:45a point you're off the mark next up Paul is getting into the swing of things with bells and boy
04:50bands go on
04:55who doesn't love a good bell my face have to be bottomed trousers and easy mo and I'm not the
05:03only
05:03fan of a good ding dong as bells have been used for centuries in different countries cultures and
05:09religions to communicate worship celebrate and make music bellissimo ah one of my favorites and Kirby Lonsdale has
05:20some real belebrity status as local legend Audrey Phillips was Britain's oldest hand bell ringer until she
05:27recently retired at the age of 97 shall we begin
05:40we're very good speaking of carrying a tune together after pop royalty take that split up in 1996 a 24
05:48year
05:49old mark owen swapped stadiums for the countryside when he bought lech hill house near Kirby Lonsdale but
05:55would you believe take that mark owen took bell ringing lessons from Audrey well would you
06:06greg would you believe that take that mark owen took bell ringing lessons from Audrey um i'm gonna go with
06:13yes
06:13actually because i just follow up with mark owen because he is with music he knows how to play lots
06:18of instruments things doesn't he and he like loves learning all that sort of stuff and i think most
06:22people if you're into music you love learning different things about it um if you're gonna learn
06:26from anybody has to be Audrey surely yeah people travel all over the country to see Audrey yeah so um
06:32i'm gonna
06:32say yeah why not let's see could it be magic could you have the right answer
06:39don't believe it no
06:42john lennon did however take bell ringing lessons oh that's what i meant in walton the same church where
06:48he met sir paul mccartney ah there you go fabulous stuff all right are you ready yeah let's see if
06:55you can
06:56grab a pint let's get back to the tourno over to you paul this isn't just a sunning three-arched
07:04medieval bridge over the river loon as this is said to have been built by the devil himself
07:11who like any good egomaniac decided to name it after himself as you do
07:19but would you believe that to ward off bad spirits local tradition requires you to shout
07:24get stuffed devil as you cross it sounds plausible or does it
07:35devil's bridge would you believe that to ward off bad spirits local tradition requires you to show
07:42get stuffed devil as you cross i feel like get stuffed is quite a new phrase surely i'm gonna say
07:51i actually i don't believe it because i don't think that's the phrase i get what you're saying
07:56be more like be gone oh devil yeah oh stuff thyself yes stuffeth thyselfeth yeah oh devil all right
08:04we don't believe it yeah you get a point you get a point awesome stuff that's the end of round
08:10one
08:10so let's take a look at the scores owain and abby were the only ones to score during that round
08:15which means owain's in the lead with two points well done oh thank you

08:48tour
08:49guide i suppose so i should throw in a few cocoa facts hold on to your truffles gang white chocolate
08:55isn't really chocolate the first mass-produced chocolate bar was made in 1847 chocolate is toxic to
09:01dogs chocolate was once prescribed as medicine in 2014 pope francis was once gifted life-sized
09:07chocolate sculpture of himself a single cacao pod contains about 20 to 60 beans napoleon carried
09:13chocolate on military campaigns chocolate melts at 34 degrees near body temperature
09:19but which country consumes the most chocolate per capita is it the uk the usa or switzerland
09:27well which one is it just divine yum so online here's your question according to statista which country
09:41consumes the most chocolate per capita is it the uk the usa or switzerland we think switzerland because
09:51swiss chocolate you know chocolate from there are divine chocolate from the states i i don't think
09:57it tastes the same no it's not the best no good no i want to say the uk because we
10:02love the chocolate
10:03and we've got a couple of brands that i think originated here all right oh and you're locking in the
10:09uk
10:09i've locked it in babes all right let's see if it's the right answer oh it's switzerland no it's
10:16actually switzerland switzerland consumes over 11 kilos of chocolate per person per year wow the usa
10:24nine kilos per person per year here we go brush yourselves united kingdom we consume almost three
10:31kilos of chocolate per person per year wow unlucky you don't get a point oh what a shame swiftly on
10:39to
10:39greg let's see if you can get a point paul's showing off his intellectual side now with the local
10:47bookstore just when you thought kirby lonsdale couldn't get cozier the book and jigsaw lounge
10:53is a bookshop where you can relax and read solve puzzles browse the shelves and even meet a celebrity
11:00or two doing their first ever book signing the author of jane eyre charlotte bronte went to school
11:06just down the road from kirby lonsdale at cowen bridge but she didn't enjoy her time there so much so
11:13it inspired lowood school in jane eyre the book's cold and punishing boarding school
11:22her talent is pretty obvious now though if you'd asked her teachers back in the day you might have
11:28got a different answer they weren't exactly convinced of her academic skills at the time
11:33as which of these statements was written on her school register reads tolerably write indifferently
11:42reads dreadfully writes prettily or reads little writes if she must well which one is it greg your question
11:53is this which of these statements was written on charlotte bronte's school report is it reads tolerably
12:00writes indifferently reads dreadfully writes prettily reads little writes if she must
12:09i'm glad to try and get my first point you give me a nice easy one really like yeah um
12:15okay see i like
12:16the reads tolerably and writes indifferently i i quite like that as a i feel like that's a that's a
12:22good
12:22burn from the teacher that writes indifferently like i'm gonna go with that one just because i like
12:28it i have no idea as we've found on this show let's have a look you've locked it in reads
12:32tolerably
12:33writes indifferently is it the right answer though it is greg's got a point we're back in the game well
12:39done right abby are you ready yeah all right here we go paul talks rail romance and hopefully not
12:46rubbish go on paul what you got this time
12:50what's a tour without a little romance heartbreak and a touch of steam preferably in that order this
12:59is carnforth station and fans of classic cinema might recognize it as the filming location for 1945 film
13:07brief encounter now home to a beautifully restored heritage center the characters in the film met by
13:16chance but these days where is the most commonplace british people meet their partner is it in a bar
13:23is it on a dating app or through work for which one is it
13:40is it in a bar on a dating app or through work wow i almost think in a bar is
13:50so rare i never hear
13:51of anyone meeting someone and i actually think it might be through work it's where most people are
13:56face to face with folk i'm actually not going to say on a dating app i think it might be
14:01a bit of a
14:01toss-up between dating app and through work i met my partner through work ah ben what was yours work
14:08was work as well yeah lock it in through work is it the right answer
14:18there you go i'm happy well done yeah fifteen percent of british people meet their partners
14:24through work eleven percent in passing just like a brief encounter and eight percent of couples meet
14:31on applications i thought it would be more than that yeah i would well done it's time for your bonus
14:35questions so come on get your whiteboards out please because you're going to do some scribbling
14:40got a big question for you which of these celebrity couples went on an awkward double date with other
14:47partners before getting together so is it megan markle and prince harry blake lively and ryan reynolds

15:30and ryan
15:31reynolds first met whilst filming green lantern about a year later they went on a double date
15:35with other people reynolds later said it was the most awkward date for the people they were with

16:53whether
16:54you think this is a delicacy of kirby lonsdale please owain i don't know i think it tastes more
17:00continental than kirby lonsdale so i'm going to say that i don't believe it don't believe it greg i'm
17:06going to follow suit with that because i just think pasta and yeah it's not particularly kirby for
17:12me so i'm gonna say no i also don't believe it cumbria pasta i don't think the two go hand
17:18in hand do
17:19they no let's find out you were right oh not to believe it all three of you get a point
17:24well done
17:25yes lovely yes the tone of bronte in italy hosts an annual pistachio festival with dishes such as pasta
17:34alla brontessi which is what you've just eaten very nice right dive back into your boxes next up we've

17:57i'm so sorry to anyone who likes this it's really bad i like it oh you want it
18:02greg's absolutely walloped his down wow look at you it's like why doesn't it taste like wasabi
18:11yes well it's mustard what a week you're having it's all the senses all right so paddles please do you
18:17or do you not believe that the fruit mustard chutney is a delicacy of kirby lonsdale or wine i think
18:25that i do believe it greg if it's not it should be there we are my asmi is my answer
18:30for everything
18:31i think there's something in like a chutney slash marble lady kind of thing i'm gonna go with i do
18:38believe it right but i'm not going there okay all three of you do believe that the fruit mustard
18:44chutney is a delicacy of kirby lonsdale it's not oh it's not thank goodness yeah it is mostada
18:52di fruta it's a northern italian condiment wow there you go right your third and final delicacy
19:00in your lunchbox is a rum nikki it's a traditional tart filled with dark rum soaked dried fruits and
19:08fragrant spices it is actually quite savory very crunchy this is good you like it finally that
19:15pastry's lovely i love a pastry all right well grab your paddles do you or do you not believe that
19:22the
19:22rum nikki is actually a delicacy from kirby lonsdale or wine i believe it i want to get the train
19:30there
19:30now and have some more uh i also believe it just to me seems the sort of thing that would
19:35be from
19:36from kirkby it feels quite northern i'm also going to go with i believe it is phenomenal oh wow all
19:43right well double thumbs up for the rum nikki it's the right answer so at the end of that round
19:53let's
19:53take a look at the scores oh and and greg you've got four points but certainly just one point ahead
19:59abby has got five points with two round to play well done yes oh could all go wrong yes as
20:06we've
20:06come to know tour guiding can be a filthy job according to paul so just as well kirby lonsdale
20:10has a lovely bath shop let's hope he keeps his clothes on here at the bath house in kirby lonsdale
20:18they've mastered the art of the most relaxing of bath times they're not only vegan friendly but all
20:24products are crafted right here in cumbria fun fact the biggest certified bath bomb ever weighed around
20:3190 kilos and was dropped in a swimming pool for charity that is one serious soak you'd almost need
20:38a bath just to recover from it but would you believe the first bath bomb was invented in ancient china
20:45during the king dynasty well would you right then here we go oh and here is your question would you
20:54believe the first bath bomb was invented in china during the king dynasty i don't know i just think
21:02they're quite modern as in in the in the last hundred years modern well i'm not going to swear you
21:07but you
21:08know the chinese they do have all the kind of chinese medicine which is made out of all kinds of
21:13stuff so
21:13i would imagine a little bit of fizz invented gunpowder is that difficult to find gunpowder yeah
21:18gunpowder as well in the bath yeah fireworks yeah so maybe the original but i mean i'm not
21:23influenced your bath bomb could have been actually been a bomb a grenade yeah um that's a good point
21:30you know maybe i'm swaying more the other way maybe i i do believe it yeah i'm going to believe
21:36it
21:36let's have a look oh no he sold you down the river it's your fault i was doing so well
21:45you were
21:45yeah you would have won a point there if old rutherford piled in exactly unlucky the bath bomb was
21:51created in a shed in dorset in 1989 by moore constantine inspired by alka-salsa tablets yeah right
21:59greg here we go it's your turn owain and abi to throw the big fella under the bus come on
22:04paul is
22:05exploring britain's longest shore cave hope he's packed his torch
22:12if you thought kirby lonsdale had hidden gems above ground then wait to see what's lurking below
22:18as beneath ingleborough hill lies white scar cave the longest show cave in britain white scar cave was
22:27first explored in 1923 by cambridge undergraduate christopher long who just like me definitely didn't
22:34find it by getting his tour guide lost today it's one of the uk's most popular underground
22:39attractions and visitors can admire the rock formations with names like the judge's head and
22:45the witch's fingers
22:49the witch is greater the height of mount everest all the depths of the world's deepest known cave
23:15good question paul mount everest is pretty high though isn't it allegedly yeah where have you been
23:22um the depth of the world's deepest known cave oh this is difficult isn't it 50 50 i feel like
23:30the
23:30this is the problem is 50 i feel like the obvious answer is to go mount everest do you know
23:35i'm i'm
23:35going to go against my gut for once because i want to say the go with the deepest known cave
23:40but i'm going
23:40to go with mount everest because i want to say the other one so i know i'm now going to
23:44get it wrong
23:44again because i've now changed my mind let's have a look at the answer i know it's wrong already
23:52yes you got a point everest is in fact 8 848 meters high depth of the world's deepest cave is
24:01around
24:012 200 meters deep and keeps changing because cavers keep finding new passages
24:08that then allow them to go a little bit deeper each time there you go right abby are you ready
24:12yes
24:13right then let's hit the road again paul over to you every town has a local hero and here in
24:22kirby
24:22lonsdale it's thriller writer lee child he wrote his first jack reacher novel whilst living here
24:28for a few years
24:32this pub the snooty fox was one of lee charles favorite hangouts and locals say his wife and
24:38friends were regulars on the pub quiz team in the novels reacher is six foot five inches tall 250
24:44pounds and famously travels with no luggage but despite being a foot shorter tom cruise played him
24:51in two films which i mean if they wanted someone six five with no baggage they should have come to
24:56this guy but would you believe lee child came up with the name jack reacher after customers routinely
25:03asked him to get high items from shelves in a nearby supermarket well would you
25:08i know how he feels you know being six foot four always asked to get stuff high up on the
25:16shelves
25:16abby it's your turn here is your question would you believe that lee child came up with the name
25:23jack reacher after customers routinely asked him to get items from high shelves in a nearby supermarket
25:31i never i always have to ask someone else to get some things on the high shelves in the
25:35supermarkets so i'm on the other end of the child and i feel like the only thing i know about
25:40him is
25:40jack reacher toothbrush he brings a toothbrush never read the books never read about the backstory
25:48i'm going to say that i believe it should we believe
25:53yes and as they say if you believe you receive you get a point well done and that is the
25:58end of that
25:59round so let's have a look at the scores oh look at that wow wow so owain has four greg
