1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,159
The Seven Wonders of the World.
2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,879
Christ the Redeemer.
3
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,349
The Taj Mahal.
4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,238
The Great Pyramids.
5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,029
Truly man's greatest achievements.
6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,350
But there's one man who sees them differently.
7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,398
It's like a pylon to them, that.
8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:26,713
Karl Pilkington.
9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,312
I don't know the politically correct term.
Moron, I think.
10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:38,192
He is a round, empty-headed, chimp-like,
Manc moron. Buffoon. Idiot.
11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,235
Is that normal?
12
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,356
And he's a friend!
13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,238
He's a typical Little Englander.
He doesn't like going out of his comfort zone.
14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,151
Bollocks are squashed.
15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,789
I just think it'd be amazing
to send him round the world.
16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:55,750
What we'd like to see is him experience
other cultures, other peoples,
17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,833
and see if in any way
we can change his outlook on the world.
18
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,390
I've been to many exotic places.
I genuinely think travel broadens the mind.
19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,235
I want him to hate it. I want him to hate
every minute of it for my own amusement.
20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,308
Nothing is funnier than Karl,
in a corner, being poked by a stick.
21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,234
I am that stick,
and now I have the might of Sky behind me.
22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,035
Shit! Shit!
23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,591
This is one of the funniest,
most expensive practical jokes I've ever done.
24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,910
And it's going to be great.
25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,879
Just let me go. Jesus Christ!
26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,995
Right, Karl,
we've arranged for you to go to Egypt.
27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,759
To see the Great Pyramids.
28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,709
I mean, that is a remarkable sight,
truly one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,315
- What do you know about the pyramids?
- Over 4,000 years old.
30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,188
- 4,000 years old!
- Are they the oldest thing on the world?
31
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,196
I told you! He needs an absolute.
He needs an absolute.
32
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,157
Yeah, they're the oldest thing on the world.
33
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,078
That's pretty amazing, going to see
the oldest thing on the world.
34
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,711
They're not the oldest thing on the world,
are they? How do you think they built it?
35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,633
Just took their time.
Didn't have any distractions.
36
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,430
Now you see workmen, it's like, "You've got
to get it done. We've got another job on."
37
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,035
Back then, they'd just go, "This is what
we've got to do. Get it done, get it built.
38
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,839
"Go for that shape."
And each day, they would've just...
39
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,879
What? The foreman went, "Go for that shape,"
and they went, "All right"?
40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,158
- Yeah.
- Right, go on, then. Enjoy the pyramids.
41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,309
All right.
42
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,591
I think we've got to send him Economy.
43
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,717
I think we've got to put him up
in shacks and awful hotels.
44
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,358
And that'll be funny.
45
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,280
The nice hotels seem to have gone now.
46
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,878
That's not good, is it?
47
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,155
This is grim round here.
48
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,549
When something looks grim in the dark,
49
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,712
you know it's not going to be better in the day,
don't you?
50
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,309
We had here Michael Palin. Monty Python.
51
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,630
And has he been back since?
52
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,314
No, not... No.
53
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,798
Thank you.
54
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,916
- How long are we here?
- (Man) What?
55
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,797
How long are we here for?
56
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,474
(Dog barks and car horns blare)
57
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,396
I don't know what...
I mean, this is a bit of a...
58
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,632
It's a little bit... grim.
Look at it.
59
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,958
- Did Rick and Steve know this was...
- Well, they knew Michael Palin stayed here.
60
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,554
Yeah, I know, but it was 30 years ago.
61
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,076
A lot's changed.
You know, I was still at school.
62
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,628
How many days am I here?
63
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,429
There's a...
There's a piano right outside the room.
64
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,115
Well, when do they start playing that piano?
Cos it's literally right there.
65
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,430
If they start having a sing-along, I'm...
66
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,272
Jesus Christ.
67
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,952
Sit on that.
68
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,554
Sit on that. Is there a mattress on it?
69
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,596
Sit... Honest to God, sit on that.
70
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,114
It is unbelievable.
71
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,315
- Oh, God. How am I going to sleep?
- (Horns beeping)
72
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,556
It's a bit cosier now.
73
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,518
Ricky'll be happy. Ricky'll be over the moon
with this when he sees this.
74
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,757
Cos he wanted to annoy me.
75
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:14,437
I don't know how this is teaching me
anything about, you know, being Egyptian.
76
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,559
I mean, the fella who owns the place,
his dad's 96.
77
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,952
There's no way you live to be 96 by living
on a bed like that in a damp room like this...
78
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,077
- (Horns beeping)
...and having them at it all night, bibbing.
79
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,271
I'll leave it there.
80
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,870
I don't know what I'm meant to be doing,
cos I haven't heard from Ricky and Steve yet,
81
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,633
so I'm just going to go out for a wander,
82
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,993
walk about, deal with some locals, you know.
83
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,036
And that's the plan, really.
84
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,949
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
85
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,917
- No, thanks, mate.
- Just to drink.
86
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,877
- A what?
- All the drink is ten pound.
87
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:07,193
Coca-Cola, Sprite, water, tea, café, Nescafé,
cappuccino, mango, lemon, orange, beer.
88
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,236
All drink, ten pounds.
89
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,636
Yeah, I'm all right at the moment,
but I might pop in later on.
90
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,915
- My name is Sharif, OK?
- Sharif.
91
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,869
- Welcome to Egypt.
- Cheers, Sharif. I'll be there for a drink.
92
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,918
Cheers. No, it's all right,
I've just had a word with Sharif.
93
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,150
He's going to look after me when I've...
94
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,470
Sharif? Sharif? No café, this eat.
95
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,634
That's eat? OK. So if I want a drink, see you,
and see you for something to eat?
96
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,790
- Cheers.
- Thank you, mate. Bye-bye!
97
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,440
- Hiya. That's good. Hiya.
- Have a nice time.
98
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,956
- I will do. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
- Come back here and no problem.
99
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,712
- If I want a drink...
- My name Sharif.
100
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,598
- He's Sharif.
- No, no, my name Omar Sharif.
101
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,514
- Omar Sharif?
- Omar Sharif. Omar Sharif. Here.
102
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,999
I'll pop in if I'm hungry.
103
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,833
- Coca-Cola, café, Nescafé...
- You what, mate?
104
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,436
...café, Nescafé, cappuccino, cerveza, beer,
mango, lemon, orange...
105
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,555
Er...
106
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,315
- I'm not hungry at the moment. All right?
- (Men talking in Arabic, laughing)
107
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,356
I've... Honestly, it's all right.
108
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,032
- It's all right. Cheers, man.
- What do you want?
109
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,553
- Say again?
- What do you want? Drink?
110
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,598
I'm just walking through.
If I get thirsty, I'll pop by.
111
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,636
Jesus!
112
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,869
Do you know what?
I'm not that hungry at the moment.
113
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,032
- Yes?
- Yeah, I was, back there. I've gone off food.
114
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,076
I'm OK at the moment, all right?
115
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,991
- Thanks a lot. Cheers.
- You come back.
116
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,356
Jesus Christ.
117
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,758
I've already got some.
118
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,831
I don't smoke.
119
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,912
If I wanted a watch, I'd buy one off you.
Don't need.
120
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,230
- It's for a woman?
- Woman. No man.
121
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,834
My girlfriend's head is slightly bigger.
122
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,917
I don't need any glasses.
123
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,678
Jesus Christ.
124
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,793
If there's one thing that's done my head in
since I've been here, it's all this.
125
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,236
You can't walk down here.
Forget just using it as a cut through.
126
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,596
Cos it's not a short cut. It can't be,
cos you get stopped every few seconds.
127
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,155
You all right?
128
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,676
So, I mean,
I bet she left the house when she was ten.
129
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,673
I tell you, seriously, it takes you forever
to get anything done here.
130
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,956
Morning.
131
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,596
I didn't sleep at all.
132
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,877
Erm... Well, I'm going to go over
and see the pyramids today.
133
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,429
That's the plan.
That's why I'm in Egypt, innit?
134
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,715
I wish I could have seen them sooner.
135
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,030
The sooner I see 'em,
the sooner I can go home.
136
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,113
Steve's sorted out some local bloke
who's got a camel.
137
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,668
He's going to take me over there
on one of them.
138
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,755
When I was younger, I got on a horse,
139
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,149
and someone burnt the horse's arse
with a fag end.
140
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,277
It bolted and I was on it, falling off the edge,
141
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,239
so I've always said I'd never go on any animal
that's bigger than me.
142
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,915
So it's a little bit crazy, but it seems
to be the way they get around here.
143
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,276
They're all using donkeys and camels.
144
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,114
So as long as nobody's near me with a fag end,
I should be all right, really.
145
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,036
It's crazy here, though, innit?
146
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,159
It's the non-touristy bit, innit?
This is what it's all about.
147
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,754
So er...
Yeah, I'm meeting this fella.
148
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,752
I need to use his toilet straight away.
149
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,991
- Is that rude?
- No, should be all right.
150
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,233
- Mahmoud.
- Hi.
151
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,039
- How are you doing? Good to see you.
- Fine. You, too.
152
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,190
- I'm Karl.
- Welcome.
153
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,714
- All right.
- Come in.
154
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,268
Do you mind if I use your toilet quickly?
155
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,239
It's just that I've drunk a lot of coffee
this morning. I'm dying for a wee.
156
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,470
- That's my family here.
- Hello.
157
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:51,551
- Who's that?
- Cooking tea.
158
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,200
- Is that your girlfriend or?
- She's my mother.
159
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,998
- Your mother?
- Come on, man.
160
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,753
- She's not your mother.
- She is.
161
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,432
Can I ask how old she is?
162
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,476
She is 38.
163
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,273
She is my mother. In our family,
we are married when we are very young.
164
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,830
- How old are you?
- I am 22 and I have a child.
165
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,592
(Quiet clucking)
166
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:19,513
Ah, I needed that. That's better.
167
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,112
That's me and my wife.
168
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,191
Is that it now for life?
Are you settled now?
169
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,556
- You'll just stay with this woman?
- I can have more if I want.
170
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,950
If I feel like I want one, I can take four woman.
171
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,311
- You're allowed four women?
- Yes, four woman I can have if I want to.
172
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,870
I'm happy till now,
but I don't know what's going to happen.
173
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,270
Pace yourself. I mean, you're only 22.
174
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,999
Spread it out a little bit, you know?
175
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:55,553
Do you know how Snow White had,
like, a happy midget, miserable one...
176
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,316
She had a mixture.
Would you go for a totally different woman?
177
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,757
So that if you're in the mood for someone
to be happy, you go, "Oh, I'll see her today."
178
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,037
Yes. Life is too short, man.
179
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,393
One, two, three.
180
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,358
- Hang on a minute.
- Hold on tight on here.
181
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,428
Whoa!
182
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,193
Jesus! Bloody high up, this, innit?
183
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,120
- All right.
- You just need to hold well.
184
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,475
I'm holding on.
185
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,236
All right?
186
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,353
- (Horns blare)
- What's going on?
187
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,430
Fuckin' hell.
188
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:42,109
My bollocks...
bollocks are squashed.
189
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,156
(Protracted farting)
190
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,999
- Is that you or the camel?
- Huh?
191
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,593
- Is that you?
- What?
192
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,592
- That sounded human.
- That's the camel, man.
193
00:11:56,680 --> 00:12:01,196
Well, you know, bit of the rocking left and right
makes things happen.
194
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,511
What you got to remember is,
I'm getting the backdraught.
195
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,556
(Mahmoud chuckles)
196
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,396
(Karl) Oh...
197
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,396
(Karl) How you doing?
198
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,676
It's chronic, innit, today?
199
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,558
I can't even see the pyramids.
200
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,039
You come all this way
and that's the view you get.
201
00:12:25,560 --> 00:12:29,155
I mean, the idea is now
that I stand here and I'm blown away.
202
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,435
That's what's meant to happen, innit?
203
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,911
I mean, I am getting blown away, but mainly
by the wind. We've got a sandstorm on.
204
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,152
I've got sand in my eyes. I can't see
anything anyway, even if it was a clear day.
205
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,518
It's a bit annoying. You know,
I thought it would feel more special than this.
206
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,231
I keep getting messages from home.
207
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,916
Suzanne's moaning about the boiler again.
That's starting to play up.
208
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,709
Normally that's my problem,
but now I'm away I've made it her problem.
209
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,236
And then I'm also getting messages...
I'll show you this one.
210
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,959
...from Ricky. He keeps sending stuff because
he knows it costs me money to receive 'em.
211
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,632
He's just sent one here.
212
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,875
Seventy pence.
213
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,952
Cos he knows that it's cost me about 70p
for him to send that.
214
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,395
There's nothing else. He's not asking,
"How are you?" You know.
215
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,075
"What are you up to? What have you seen?
Are you enjoying it?" 70p.
216
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,515
That's all he said.
217
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,716
- (Man) So why are you wearing this?
- It's comfy wear, innit?
218
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,997
This is like pyjamas, at the end of the day.
219
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,516
The problem is,
I've been getting mozzie bites and stuff.
220
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,479
So I wanted something with longer sleeves on it
to keep them away.
221
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:54,394
Er... And it's just comfy.
Loads of room in it.
222
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,517
Normally, pyjamas sort of roll up
your arms and your legs and that,
223
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,398
but this is...
You know, it's all right, innit?
224
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,472
I mean, that's the good thing.
If you lived here, you could just...
225
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,916
If you start work at nine,
you could get out of bed about five to.
226
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,116
Keep it on. Straight off.
227
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,195
Steve sent me a text
and said meet up with a lad called Ahmed.
228
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,316
He's going to show me round the place.
229
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,072
(Ahmed) Yalla, yalla, yalla!
230
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,673
- Good one.
- All right.
231
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,195
Here you are, here's a gap. What do you reckon?
232
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,510
- Yeah?
- Yalla.
233
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:33,634
- Good job.
- Easy.
234
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,518
- Now you are Egyptian.
- Brilliant.
235
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,356
Oh, wow. If you saw that at home,
you'd presume it was a pet shop.
236
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,670
- What's a pet shop?
- Animals that you buy...
237
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,399
No, no, no, that's for food. Only for food.
238
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,950
So when you look at that,
do you go, "Mmm" rather than "Aw"?
239
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,429
Well, yeah, they eat them.
240
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,080
- What's this stuff?
- Cotton.
241
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,912
- Feel?
- Egyptian cotton.
242
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,236
- So what would people do with this?
- For mattresses.
243
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,436
I could do with that, actually, at the hotel.
244
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,953
Right, we'll do a bit of practice about haggling.
245
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,430
You need to haggle,
otherwise you will get ripped off.
246
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,432
Hang on. So I come in your shop,
I'm browsing, I'm looking around.
247
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,069
This is the finest piece we have,
and it's for one hundred.
248
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,355
- A hundred English.
- Seems a bit expensive, that.
249
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,718
Now, you need to tell me... You need
to tell me just to reduce it. You say ten.
250
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,514
So you want me to buy the water?
I didn't come in here for that.
251
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,149
I came in here for an ashtray for a present.
Do you sell ashtrays?
252
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,800
No. We'll try...
253
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,155
OK.
254
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,595
- Have you got an ashtray?
- No, no, no, I...
255
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,910
I'll leave it, then.
256
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,639
Right, I'd sack you.
If you had a shop, I would get rid of you.
257
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,792
If I owned the shop and you worked in there...
That's rubbish.
258
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,592
Hey, my friend!
How can I take your money?
259
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,636
I'm all right, thanks.
260
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,917
Sir! Give me one thousand dollars,
sir, please! (Laughs)
261
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,150
Welcome to Cairo. Welcome.
262
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,998
- You must be able to go lower than 160.
- 160 is nothing.
263
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,152
- What about 90?
- You want to get it for free?
264
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,390
- Never mind.
- You are a very clever guy.
265
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,391
But I don't agree with your price!
266
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,632
- Egyptian wool. Egyptian. Is 120.
- I thought you agreed 110?
267
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,199
No, he said 120 for you.
268
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,714
Do I get money off with the nose missing?
269
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:34,994
No.
270
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,272
Well, I've been out all day, seeing how
the locals live, which is what it's all about.
271
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,796
Thought the day was coming to an end,
thought I'd be able to relax a little bit,
272
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,757
and I've just got a message
from Ricky and Steve
273
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,559
saying they've sorted out a place
for me to have my tea tonight,
274
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,915
which is a bit of a worry.
275
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,996
I'll get you the special of the day.
276
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,232
- Typical Egyptian food.
- Cheers. Thanks a lot.
277
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,593
That's a bit annoying. He's just cooking
something for me. I don't know what it is.
278
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,677
I don't like hummus that much.
Hummus, couscous.
279
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,958
Anything like that, I just don't have
that sort of stuff. It's not a meal, it's a garnish.
280
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,349
(Bone snaps)
281
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,115
I would have loved just, er...
chicken and chips.
282
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,913
Just something not too challenging.
283
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,077
I just want a meal. I'm hungry.
284
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,233
I've never experimented that much with food.
285
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,788
I didn't have pasta till I was about 21, 22.
286
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,433
- Here.
- All right. Brilliant.
287
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,754
I got a bit of a taste of that at the end,
and I'm sure I knew what it was.
288
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,718
Let me just have a bit again.
I'm sure I've had it before.
289
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,358
(Man) OK.
290
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,875
- It's rubbery.
- Rubbery, chewy.
291
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,590
Quite beefy.
292
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,558
- Have a testicle.
- That's a testicle?
293
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,996
Uh-huh. And the chewy one...
294
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,469
penis.
295
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,478
Normally on a Monday night,
296
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,394
I'd probably have a little bit of lamb
that's left over from Sunday dinner.
297
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,869
And yet, you know, this Monday night,
298
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,877
cock and bollocks, couple of eyes,
299
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,350
er...
bit of tongue, you know, for garnish.
300
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,795
I never thought I'd be saying that.
301
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,235
It's supposed to be good for you as a meal.
302
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,073
But why do you use everything to that degree?
303
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,915
We kind of eat everything. Nothing goes
to waste. And besides, it's delicious.
304
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,834
- You said...
- Yeah, I said... Well, I didn't say delicious.
305
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,673
You put words in my mouth,
along with other things.
306
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,556
(Mobile rings)
307
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,676
Hello? Hello?
308
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:10,788
What?
309
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,552
(Laughter)
310
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,716
- It's er...
- (Siren blares)
311
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,358
Can you hear that?
312
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,236
It's just car horns and that, constant.
313
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,276
(Ricky laughs)
314
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,994
- Oh, Godl
- Anyway, the hotel's pretty depressing.
315
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,077
What, the little...
little hat?
316
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,469
No, I wasn't planning on rushing out.
317
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,318
Yeah, but I told you, when in Rome
I'm happy to go along with it. I'll eat pasta.
318
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,834
(Laughs)
319
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,480
But when in Egypt...
320
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,235
They don't say, do they?
When in Egypt, have a bollock for lunch.
321
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,273
See you later. Yep. Bye.
322
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:28,396
When Michael Palin
goes working round the world,
323
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,835
is this what it's like for him?
324
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,480
Has he got racket going on like that outside?
325
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,028
Has he got mates calling him up, annoying him?
326
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,079
I mean, when Palin
went round the world in 80 days,
327
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,310
I wonder if that was a scheduled time
328
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,198
or if he just said, "I'm sick of this,
can we speed it up?"
329
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,356
Is that better? I don't know.
330
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,710
(Call to prayer)
331
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,191
I'd be quite happy going home now. Honestly.
You know, I've been here a few days.
332
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,909
All right, I haven't seen the pyramids yet,
but I bet most of the locals haven't.
333
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,549
That's what happens when you live somewhere.
You don't bother seeing touristy stuff.
334
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,631
I haven't even seen Buckingham Palace yet.
335
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,388
But the weather's bad, innit,
so what am I meant to do?
336
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,314
D'you know what I mean?
So I'm just killing time, really, till it clears up.
337
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,029
Steve sorted it out with Ahmed
to show me round a museum,
338
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:34,759
which apparently is world-famous.
339
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,673
That's what Steve said. I was like,
"What do you mean, world-famous?"
340
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,274
He said, "It's a world-famous museum."
I said, "I haven't heard of it."
341
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,432
He said, "What do you mean?"
I said, "I haven't heard of it."
342
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,159
So, Karl, I would like you to join me
on a journey through time.
343
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,189
From the moment we walk in, a long history
of splendour and mystery will be unfolding.
344
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,919
I will breathe life into history.
345
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,912
So, I'm not looking forward to going round it,
to be honest.
346
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,116
I don't go to museums at home.
347
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,794
So I don't see what difference it makes,
just cos it's in Egypt.
348
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,839
So you have, clockwise,
from pre-dynastic to early dynastic,
349
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,717
old kingdom, middle kingdom, new kingdom.
350
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,155
So look here, the pharaoh is harpooning.
351
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,595
A nine-years-old boy king.
352
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,037
You cannot see the hippo he is harpooning.
Why not? See, this is the magic.
353
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:19,873
Because with magic,
that hippo will come into life.
354
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,475
So, again, a coffin within a coffin,
a sarcophagus within a sarcophagus.
355
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,312
You can see the cartouche.
356
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,516
The cartouche has the name of the pharaoh,
the boy king.
357
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,592
At some point, he was bringing back a pygmy.
358
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,918
Was it a portrait? Can you avoid portraying
the pharaoh? This is very hard to reconcile.
359
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,228
Because the soul will be searching.
360
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,598
The ka wants to find the pharaoh,
the boy king Tutankhamun.
361
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,796
Yes, you do have the cartouche
with the boy king,
362
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,313
but it helps even more...
363
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,868
Coming in here with Ahmed,
he's like a kid in a sweet shop.
364
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,270
He's just...
Show you this, show you that.
365
00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:54,271
It's mental, and you can't take it all in.
366
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:58,478
It's like going Christmas shopping
on Christmas Eve in a department store.
367
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,199
There's too much going on,
too much to look at, too many people.
368
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,068
You're being pushed along. It's a nightmare.
369
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,357
I want to call it a day here
and get back to, I don't know,
370
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,476
eating fucking cock and bollocks again.
371
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,790
Seems more fun than this to me.
372
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,432
That just seems to me like
a bit over-the-top.
373
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,592
A lot of gold, a bit sort of Peter Stringfellowish.
374
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,832
It's exactly the same as my Aunty Nora's house
with ornaments.
375
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,993
She keeps buying one and then she has to buy
a new shelf to put the ornaments up.
376
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,594
It's like, "I haven't got room,
so I'll buy another shelf."
377
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:37,754
She fills that, and another, and that's what I'm
saying about Ahmed saying they're expanding it.
378
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,877
They're saying they're expanding it
so more people can get in,
379
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,394
but you know for a fact they'll go,
"Oh, you've got more room, have you?
380
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,550
"Bring some more in. Get digging again."
381
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,191
Hey, there's a sign.
382
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,874
Can I get two pieces of chicken? Two.
383
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,557
What? It's a KFC for deaf people.
384
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,272
So what do I have to do? I don't understand.
Do I just point?
385
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,350
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
386
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,310
One, yeah. One of them.
387
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:27,712
For one.
388
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,756
Original.
389
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,598
I don't quite know what's going on.
390
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,636
Are they all deaf?
391
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,036
Can you hear me?
392
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,516
Can you hear me?
393
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,478
Hello.
394
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,949
No. They're all... They're all deaf.
395
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,110
Thanks. Thanks a lot. Brilliant.
396
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,638
That was good. It's a good idea.
397
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,271
- What, to have a deaf KFC?
- Well, yeah, cos... Why not?
398
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:11,592
I don't come in here for a chat.
You're coming here for food. Fast food.
399
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,399
It'll be even faster,
cos they're not chatting behind there.
400
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,553
A lot of the time in McDonald's,
they're all gabbing by the milkshake counter.
401
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:24,033
But in here, it was quick.
It's there in front of you. Point, bang, done, out.
402
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,156
It's amazing, innit?
403
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:33,189
I mean, with technology, most of it, you don't
really use it, do you? It's kind of like a toy.
404
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,919
But seeing them use it,
it sort of makes you realise
405
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,551
it's a good invention,
video calling and picture messaging.
406
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,189
But when Ricky sends me a picture,
it's that sort of thing.
407
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,158
So this is what I'm saying.
408
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,913
We don't sort of use it properly.
409
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,956
They've got a proper use.
410
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,917
Do you know what I mean?
411
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,989
I'd say that's the most annoying thing
about being in this place,
412
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,594
just being hassled all the time,
no matter where you are,
413
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,593
no matter what time of day it is,
just constantly hassling you.
414
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,638
A deaf lad sort of tapped me on the back,
gave me a bit of paper...
415
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,598
I couldn't read it, cos it was all in Arabic.
416
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,911
... and pointed to say it's a charity thing.
417
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:37,990
And I went and gave him a hundred
Egyptian pounds, so he got twelve quid off me.
418
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,275
He didn't even look that happy.
419
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,191
I'll be skint by the end of tonight.
420
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,395
I spent a load of time
with some deaf people in KFC. They were nice.
421
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,109
I don't know if he was deaf.
That's the thing with that one, innit?
422
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,590
It's not like all the other disabilities,
where you can go, "Is he lying?"
423
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,878
You know, you can see if someone's
got a leg missing or blind or something.
424
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:01,916
But with him...
425
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,878
"Oh, that's terrible.
There you go, have some money."
426
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,597
My mam's the same.
I think that's who I get it off.
427
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,959
Me dad said she walked up to some fella
who she thought was a Big Issue seller,
428
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,270
who was stood there
with a magazine in his hands.
429
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:20,670
She walked up, she said, "You can keep
the magazine," and gave him a quid.
430
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,356
Turns out it was just a fella stood outside Going
Places, with a holiday brochure in his hand.
431
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,112
He kept it.
432
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:28,918
(Rings)
433
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,672
All right?
434
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,350
Yeah, all right, mate. How's it going?
435
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,436
Yeah, but I've seen that. I went to
the Millennium Dome. It's all the same stuff.
436
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:49,555
Go on.
437
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,030
It's not my sort of night at all.
438
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:04,350
It's just not the sort of
entertainment thing I do.
439
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,796
I mean, it's nice going down any river
on a boat, but I'd do it in the day.
440
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,553
At night it's pointless. You can't see anything.
441
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,672
And it's that thing. It's like,
you know you're there for a couple of hours.
442
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,716
There's no getting away from it.
443
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,439
So they could do anything,
once you're on there.
444
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,389
They had some entertainment on,
with someone whizzing round and round.
445
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,711
He starts off, he's got like a quilt round him,
and he starts spinning.
446
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,356
And it was only when he'd been spinning
for about three minutes that I thought...
447
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,398
"It's pretty difficult. He's just been
spinning. He'll be getting dizzy in a bit."
448
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,836
It went on for ages. It's not the sort of thing
you have to watch whilst he's doing it.
449
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,356
You just glance over now and again.
Oh, he's still going. Having a bit of turkey.
450
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,638
Bit of a waste of energy.
451
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,396
It would have been good if at the end
he said, "And thanks to, you know, Terry.
452
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,869
"He's been whizzing round,
and because of that...
453
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,316
"that energy he's created
had the oven working. We've got more food."
454
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,279
Or just something to make it seem
more impressive than it was.
455
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:19,511
But the colours and that were good,
and he sort of kept the room quite cool.
456
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:25,391
It was quite hot in there, so you've got him
wafting about, creating a draught.
457
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,232
(Phone rings)
458
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,276
(Speaks Arabic)
459
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,516
I didn't know what was going on
with the comedian.
460
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,957
I mean, jokes, anyway, even if he spoke English,
humour's different, innit, everywhere you go?
461
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,270
(Speaks Arabic)
462
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,634
It was a terrible night,
do you know what I mean? I hated it.
463
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,951
It's not my sort of thing at all, that.
464
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,190
When I got up and was dancing,
465
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,158
cos I did it,
just cos I thought, "Well, I'm here now,"
466
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,276
and Ricky and Steve don't want me to do it.
467
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,033
They know I'd hate it,
so I thought, "I might as well enjoy it."
468
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,348
So I got up and had a dance.
469
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,472
And she told me
that I was the best dancer she'd ever seen.
470
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,030
Er... Not bad, is it?
471
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,151
The traffic's horrendous.
472
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,639
(Sighs)
473
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,235
Just...
It's not just the traffic. It's just beeping.
474
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,358
But it just seems to be like people letting on
to each other at four in the morning.
475
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,396
Like, go home. What are you doing?
476
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,037
So, erm... I reckon I've had about...
477
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,228
I reckon I've had about an hour's kip.
478
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,550
I mean, that song, Walk Like An Egyptian,
479
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,718
no one's walking.
480
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,395
Everyone seems to be in a car at all hours,
just beeping.
481
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,232
(Beeping continues)
482
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,112
It's not enough, is it? it's not enough to say
something's amazing just cos they're old.
483
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,635
Cos you can get an old person
who's done nowt all their life.
484
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,712
You wouldn't go, "Amazing."
You'd go, "Lazy bastard. They've done fuck-all."
485
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,315
So age shouldn't really make something special.
486
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,597
I'm not worrying about who built them,
cos it's ages ago, really.
487
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,719
When I first bought my first house,
I didn't go, "Who built it?"
488
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,429
I want to know, is it safe?
Is it structurally sound?
489
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,875
Erm... Is it haunted?
490
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,636
Whoa!
491
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:08,435
What's the rush? It's been here
for 4,000 years. What's he doing?
492
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,108
(Groans) Me arse!
493
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,998
This is mental.
494
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,070
Just a lot of er...
495
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,957
A lot of shit.
496
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,828
You don't normally see any of this, do you?
You don't see that many buses there.
497
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,832
It looks like it's sat
in the middle of a nice desert.
498
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,960
But it isn't, is it? It's just a building site.
499
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,349
I'm half tempted to ask for a hard hat.
500
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,513
I mean, it's not even bits of old pyramid, is it?
You've got all sorts.
501
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,353
You've got bricks here from, like,
council houses and that.
502
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,668
It's literally just, er...
503
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,514
People have brought up shit
and dumped it here.
504
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,557
It's like something out of
Planet Of The Apes, innit?
505
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,278
Barren.
506
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,310
(Wind howls)
507
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,236
It's like a little tornado, innit?
508
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,876
Yeah, you don't see that
in the brochure, do you?
509
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,476
A shitty old nappy whizzing through the air.
They tend to leave that out.
510
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,199
You see, I've always wanted to see a tornado.
511
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,555
That is on my wish list before I die.
512
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,552
Cos it's natural.
It's a natural thing that I don't understand.
513
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,876
If that was like a little housing estate,
514
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,919
you'd go, "Yeah, any will do.
Are they all the same size?"
515
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,676
The design actually is a bit odd, cos
the square footage, the floor size, is massive.
516
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,111
But the upstairs bit is tiny.
517
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:26,517
The Great Pyramid was built by Atlantian
survivors, with extraterrestrial help.
518
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,195
And they built the pyramid
with the help of sound,
519
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,068
because sound was used very much in Atlantis.
520
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,919
Andrew and Seija were just saying
that they use the pyramids at night.
521
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,116
They just nip in there to do some meditation
and what-have-you.
522
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,156
So they said I can go with them,
523
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:45,674
but I've got to learn
to do some meditation first.
524
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,671
So they've just given me some words to learn.
525
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,116
Er, once I've done that,
they've said they'll take me in.
526
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,156
So that seems fair enough, don't it?
527
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:58,109
- Anekh sheshen wibaynoo.
- (Crockery clattering)
528
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,317
Are they washing up before we do this?
529
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,154
Leave the washing-up, Seija.
It's spoiling the mood a bit.
530
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:07,196
- Leave this?
- Yeah.
531
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,680
Anekh sheshen wibaynoo.
532
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,038
- If you open that door, I just put those there.
- This is madness.
533
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,395
Gandhi wouldn't have washed up
before he starts...
534
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,275
(Call to prayer)
535
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,397
Can't escape noise in here.
536
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,837
(Karl) Anekh sheshen winay...
wibaynoo.
537
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,913
- (Call to prayer)
- How long's this going to go on now?
538
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,551
A couple of minutes. Two, three minutes.
But it's five times a day.
539
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,634
- (Prayer call continues)
- You might as well finish the washing-up.
540
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:45,836
No rush with the washing-up, Andrew.
541
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,717
(Call to prayer continues)
542
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,793
I bet they don't show you round a property
round here at certain times of the day, do they?
543
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,074
No, probably not.
544
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,711
When you're buying a place, "Come on,
we got to get going." "Why?" "Just let's go."
545
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,836
- You buy it, this kicks off.
- (Seija laughs)
546
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,353
Unbelievable.
547
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,272
That was all a bit weird, wasn't it?
But I liked it, know what I mean?
548
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,430
I'm into that sort of weirdness.
549
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,514
Plus it means that I'm actually going to go
inside a pyramid tomorrow. It's all worth it.
550
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,353
(Draws breath)
551
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,275
Got another mozzie bite there.
It's well itchy, that one.
552
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,920
I think it's that same mozzie.
553
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,468
It's in the room more than the cleaners are.
554
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,554
They haven't shown their faces still.
555
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,235
I don't think they're going to now.
I can't see the point.
556
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,350
It's like a game of Jenga
that's got out of hand, innit?
557
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,400
Pretty high up, innit?
558
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,837
I've, erm...
I've took a little bit of it.
559
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,595
- A little bit of... A little bit of the pyramid.
- Let's have a look.
560
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,636
Got a little piece.
561
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,515
- I don't think you're meant to...
- It was loose.
562
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,830
I didn't chip it off. It was loose anyway.
563
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,515
It's just, it's better than
the tat that you buy, innit?
564
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,594
It's better than, you know, buying
a little Egypt fella on the back of a camel.
565
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,033
One for you.
566
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,112
But it's weird how you're allowed
to just wander about on 'em.
567
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,069
If this was at home, this would all be roped off.
Wouldn't be allowed anywhere near it.
568
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,995
It's not treated like a wonder.
It's just like a manmade mountain, innit?
569
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,755
(Low humming)
570
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,235
Well, I'm just with Andrew and Seija again.
571
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,959
They're going to teach me some more chanting
before we go in.
572
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,996
(Nasal humming)
573
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,990
I don't know what's going on in her head
but, you know, I like her.
574
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,277
I think she believes in all the energy thing
that she's going on about.
575
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,238
I want to believe it.
576
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,632
- (All) Aaaaah.
- It'll be nice if something happens,
577
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:32,156
or if I feel like a bit of a, "Ooh, what's that?"
578
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:34,196
Let's see what happens.
579
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,596
(Chants sustained, resonant note)
580
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,913
(Seija joins in)
581
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,076
It's times like this when I think,
582
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:09,073
I used to have a proper job, what am I doing?
583
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,674
This is it, then. I'm actually
going inside a pyramid, which is good.
584
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:29,197
I didn't even know you could go in 'em.
I just thought they were like a solid structure.
585
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,918
Just a load of blocks.
586
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,754
But you can get in 'em.
So, pretty exciting, innit?
587
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,276
We are now in the centre of our planet,
588
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,749
an ancient power point.
589
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,436
# Anekh
590
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,988
# Sheshen
591
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,755
# Wibaynoo #
592
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,478
I wasn't happy about getting in there.
593
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,269
I'm not good in small spaces anyway,
d'you know what I mean?
594
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,316
But I just was thinking, "Oh, I don't like this."
595
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,277
(Seija moaning)
596
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,193
- So there was a dead body in there?
- (Man) Yeah.
597
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,236
I've got in somewhere with some...
598
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,875
All them injections I had, it'll be all right,
it'll cover me for that, won't it?
599
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,916
(Andrew and Seija moaning)
600
00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:24,439
I mean, it was all right, you know?
601
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:29,310
Nothing happened, did it? I got a little bit
of a twinge, but I just think that was cramp.
602
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,632
I don't know, she seems fed up, really,
that I didn't get anything.
603
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:37,793
But there's no point pretending, is there?
That's sort of humouring her.
604
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,348
(Seija moaning)
605
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,396
I'll tell you what it reminded me of.
606
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,675
Me going to a wedding for Suzanne.
607
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,876
She likes going to weddings, I hate going.
608
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,270
And it was like I went, I did it all for her,
609
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,955
but because I didn't enjoy it, I still
get her moaning at the end of the night.
610
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,792
It was a bit like that. I did all that for her.
611
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,269
And it was pretty comfy.
I mean, you know, compared to the Windsor.
612
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,273
I tell you what,
I could probably get me head down in there.
613
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,514
- It's not funny, is it?
- What?
614
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,831
Well, I've been living next door to this.
615
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,709
- Did Ricky put me in that one on purpose?
- Yeah.
616
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,076
Yeah.
617
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,873
This is the room Michael Palin was in.
618
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,871
I don't know if... I mean, they say travel
broadens the mind, but I don't know if it does.
619
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,713
It buggers it up. I'm knackered.
620
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:32,992
# La la la la
621
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,312
