In the first episode of a second series, Rattus tries to get the contestants to play a truly revolting Georgian warm up game. Luckily, Dave steps in just in time.
Quirky quizzes and gory games. The contestants have to see how many flies they can catch, and they are pretty big.
It is time for one of Rattus' favourite games - the Middle Ages Pig Piano. Part musical instrument, part Sunday lunch! Contestants have to repeat the Piggy squeals in the right order, or something unspeakable will happen.
Rattus has borrowed Dave's watch without his permission. Also, there is a coin to release from Barmy Brunel's throat, some keys to find in some pretty slimy pirate barrels and Henry VIII is demanding pies to be fed to him.
There is nothing quite like firing a severed head from a catapult to get you in the mood for some fun! The Roman Savage Siege is in full swing in this episode, along with one of Rattus' other favourites: Tudor Gong Farming - all that poop!
Contestants raid a pirate's treasure, find out if the God of Cupboards was real in Roman times, work out the sequence of cogs to stop barmy Brunel choking on a coin, and finally get covered in poo.
