Sky1 S1E4 - Mexico (October 15, 2010)

The seven wonders of the world:

Christ the Redeemer,

the Taj Mahal,

the Great Pyramids.

Truly man's greatest achievements.

But there's one man who sees them differently.

Bill Ada should be going, What's been going on?

Carl Pilkington.

I don't know the political term.

Close your mouth.

Moron.

I think.

He is a round, empty-headed, chimplike moron.

And he's a friend.

You're not meant to laugh, you're meant to go, ooh.

He's a typical little Englisher and he doesn't like going out of his comfort zone.

I just think that it'd be amazing to send him round the world.

My eyes have never been so busy.

There's always something there going, look at me.

So you like that, so your neck, by the end of today, my neck will be well and truly truly worn out.

What we'd like to see is him experience other cultures

and see if, in any way, we can change his outlook on the world.

It's like something maybe me, Auntie Nora, would have, sort of next to the telly.

I've been to many exotic places, I genuinely think travel broadens the mind.

I want him to hate it.

I want him to hate every minute of it for my own amusement.

Nothing is funnier than Carl in a corner being poked by a stick.

I am that stick, and now I have the might of Sky behind me.

Shit!

Shit!

This is one of the funniest, most expensive practical jokes I've ever done and it's going to be great.

Just let me go home!

Jesus Christ!

Next up Carl, Chichen Itza in Mexico.

Never heard of it.

Now I know you'll think it looks a little like a pyramid.

Yeah.

Not just about the building, though, is it?

Mexico, very different to Egypt.

A completely different country on a different continent, thousands of miles away.

Used, of course, for human sacrifice back in the day.

Yeah, the death thing's good.

Right.

So, as opposed to celebrating life and culture, you want to go around,

well, that's more relevant to me than this, isn't it?

A pyramid isn't for me, isn't it?

I'm not going to use a pyramid, but I am going to do that.

It's not about death.

And the great thing is, Carl, that in a lot of these countries, it's a very high murder rate.

Yeah.

So there's a strong chance that you or one of the crew could get killed.

You could do it if you've got a building for it.

It's equivalent of like death hill, isn't it?

If you've got something called that in an area, it encourages it.

Knock it down.

Say, don't do that anymore.

It's bad.

I think it looks like

it down.

Well, anyway, you're going.

Get your bags, your passport.

We've got to get you to the airport.

Packing again.

This time for Mexico.

I mean it's the same clothes really, it doesn't matter where I'm going, I've got the same pants, I've got the same t-shirts,

maybe a different flavour crisps.

What crisps is that?

Monster Munch, pickled onion.

It's good to have things like this.

What do you like about a monster munch?

It's just a bit, there's something about them that cheers you up.

Not only are they sort of tasty, but just having a little monster to look at when you're fed up.

Hello mate, it's Steve.

I've never been to Mexico but I've heard that it's a pretty lonely place, you know, it's pretty wild.

But obviously you've arrived during Easter.

Being a very religious country, there's going to be a lot of celebrations going on and we've arranged for you to get in the thick of it and hopefully see Jesus as well, which we did.

So track down a local taxi drive, we should be waiting for next one.

He's called Ector.

Good, mate.

Hey, Carl!

How are you doing?

Carlos, how you doing, man?

Alright, yeah, okay.

Carlos, yeah.

Yeah?

What's going on?

Yeah?

This, all this.

Yeah, that's the m crash me, man.

I crashed you.

Yeah.

Is this yours?

Eh?

This dog.

Yes.

That's yours.

Yeah, this is Jack.

Okay.

Normal.

Is this a little chihuahua?

Yes.

When you first get them, they're tiny, aren't they?

Uh-huh.

And a friend of my mom had one.

Sat on a seafront.

Yeah.

Seagull came down, took it away.

No seagull.

Bird.

Yes.

Came down.

Grabbed it, took it out to sea, never saw it again.

No shit.

No shit.

Fucking out, man.

I know.

Today is the day of the Jesus Christ die.

So I'm gonna show you the celebration.

It's a good celebration man.

You know a lot of romance, Mexican romance and

well quite funny man.

I've got a girlfriend.

Nice bud?

What?

Nice bud?

Smart.

Nice bud.

Nice body.

Yeah.

She used to have.

But that's not, I thought, you know, I'm not having a go.

I used to look better than this.

So I just think, you know, we've both sort of lost out a little bit.

But that's.

Yeah, it's fine.

I mean...

It's okay.

I mean, you know, I've never to have a good body, you know?

Okay, Carlitos.

You're gonna take this treat, you know?

Prolongación, Paris.

This one here.

Yeah, the big celebration is over there.

See you later, okay?

It seems to be a big deal here, Easter, whereas at home it's just, you know, I said to him, I said, oh, do you have a chocolate egg?

And he was like, what?

He had no idea.

They don't have chocolate eggs here.

I mean, for me, that's what Easter is.

Take the eggs away, it's you know what I mean?

It's Friday.

I'm thinking of this part of the story.

Somebody helps him.

Don't know.

Do you know the Bible story?

No, I don't know, but surely you wouldn't want someone helping him, would he?

That's like saying, come on, I'll see you get crucified.

You say, put it down, don't be helping me.

It's the one time in your life where you don't want help.

He's coming through again.

He's got a rush on.

Just what you want, isn't it?

Imagine that.

Being Jesus, being taken, you know, your life's going to wait, you've got to go with a recorder.

It's a worst sound going, isn't it?

It's a worst instrument that.

I'd say do it here.

I thought it was a proper accident before when he was walking up and he fell over.

I thought it was a proper trip and it was, he's obviously hurt his leg look.

But it does sort of ruin the whole sort of Jesus type image when you know someone from St.

John's ambulance is sticking a bit of Savalon on his knee.

Do you think they're going to nail him?

Not after, because they were so concerned about his knee putting Savalon stuff on it.

I don't think they'd do that and then say, Right, give us your hands.

It'd be a bit

extreme.

They used to do it until 1984, they used to do it with nails

here, yeah.

What sort of a nail do you use for that?

I always struggled.

In DIY, you just never you never get it right.

I do not know what sort would go through.

Well obviously, you know, all this means a lot to these people, doesn't it?

Whereas I've never seen anything like this at home.

You know, at home, really, it's a sort of a.

It's got religion linked to it, but really, it's just a time of the year for greedy people to feel like they're doing a bit of good.

Oh, I love Jesus, me.

Have you got any eggs?

I mean, why is an egg even involved in it?

I don't know the connection between Jesus and an egg.

Because he can't be happy with that, can he?

If he was on his cross having his last breath and someone said, we're going to remember you, Jesus, and it was like, great, what are you going to do?

We're going to have egg.

You are hot.

Do you know what I mean?

You wouldn't be chuffed with that.

It's not like this at home, is it?

Easter.

You know, my Easter weekend, I'm normally sat watching James Bond or, you know, just nipping out to be in cube, stuff like that.

But

somehow I can't see that happening here.

Since I've been here, you know, I've sort of been thinking about things that I know about Mexico, which isn't that much, but then I just remember seeing a Mexican jumping bean on Sesame Street when I was a kid.

Mexican jumping beans.

What are you laughing at?

I told my mum about them and she was like, what do you want about them?

She ended up buying me some marbles instead.

But I've always wanted to see one in real life.

Mexican jumping beans.

Mexican jumping beans.

Have you heard of them?

No.

It's like a bean and it jumps about.

I don't know if you're meant to eat them, I don't know if you get them in a a food shop or a pet shop.

Like a little bean, pop it in your hand.

I thought they'd be like Heinz beans.

You can get them anywhere at home.

No Heinz beans?

You got no brakes?

How do you break?

Eh.

Break.

How?

Eh.

No brake.

You're mad, you Mexicans.

You need brakes, it's not safe.

Break.

Did you take any like shorts or anything?

Did you pack any shorts?

Or a leotard or something?

No, I didn't pack anything like that, no.

It was a long shot, wasn't it?

But listen, you'll be alright, I've arranged for you to do a bit of wrestling.

Wrestling?

Yeah.

What's that got to do with the seven wonders?

I'm here to see a wonder.

For the general public, that would count as a wonder, it's an honour, it's huge in Mexico, Mexican Mexican.

Just go and enjoy it.

It'd be funny for me to watch it.

I've had enough practice, haven't I?

I mean, you know, you've sort of had me in headlock.

And they probably won't be as heavy as me.

No, that's a silly.

That's a silk.

Glad you're enjoying it.

I'll see you later.

Alright.

Hiya.

Sandy.

Hello, Austin.

Bloody hell.

I'm not doing it in front of a crowd, am I?

I'm just getting some training.

Yeah, some training.

Yeah.

It's good, isn't it?

I'm just about to go and uh wrestle with the shocker.

I told Suzanne about it, right?

I said, Don't be askling me, I'm about to go wrestling.

She sent me a text, be careful.

How do you use the DVD player?

So that's good, isn't it?

She's not that worried.

Hey!

Nice to meet you, Carmitas.

How are you doing?

You're shocking.

Shocker.

I'm a shocker.

Very pleased to meet you.

Let me show you around.

You're a lot bigger than I thought.

I thought they would have given me a little fella to sort of try out with.

Oh, you want a little fella?

How big?

This big?

Smell.

Oh, come here, boy.

Sort of kick.

Watch.

I know it's Ricky that's set up, and it's funny, you know, to win.

But this is like how accidents happen, isn't it?

It's like the start of casualty.

You watch that programme, everyone's having fun.

It's a party or something.

People are going on holiday in a bus and you know it's all going to go wrong.

And that's how this feels.

It feels like the start of casualty.

That's just someone being chucked around.

That's going to be me out there.

I mean, does he know the full story that I'm here to see the seven wonders?

I don't come here to be trained as a.

No, he doesn't know that.

Yeah, well, it's.

You should tell him, really.

Look better on you.

Wow.

You look just like a wrestler.

Look like a right, no, bad.

Hey, come on.

Squat and then jump to your body.

Yeah, go ahead.

Good job.

You almost got it.

Okay, we're gonna start with a basic training of wrestling.

Are you ready?

No, we don't, man.

You'll be okay in a couple of days.

Come on.

Ready?

You gotta follow the lead, okay?

There you go.

See how easy that was?

Okay,

can I be you in that one?

Shit house.

Come on, you shit.

I missed a thing.

Good job.

Oh, make me sick.

You're sick?

Don't throw up.

Is it normal to feel this sick?

Oh yeah.

Do you give up?

Yeah.

Come on, Carl.

I can't see.

You see me shaking.

It hasn't done me confidence any good, really, because

I thought it was fitter than that.

What do you think Suzanne said?

So you know.

I'm not letting her watch this one.

Whatever night this goes on, I'm going to take her out for something to eat.

I want to stay and watch.

No, we're going out.

It's Easter Sunday today, isn't it?

So I don't know what I'm meant to be doing.

Rick and Steve probably at home doing nothing and they haven't called up yet and giving me any instructions.

So I'm just going to have a wander about and see what's going on.

Oh look at the yeah look at the newspapers.

Normally we've got Cheryl Cole on the front of our newspapers.

Yeah look, fella sort of done in.

Can that?

They're not scared of death there in Mexico, are they?

They're not worried about it.

I mean, our graveyards don't look like this, do they?

This looks like a bit of a holiday camp, in a way, with all the different colours and everything.

Those sort of beach hooks you get in Kent.

Oh, this is the thing we're seeing, isn't it?

The

Chichen Itza.

I mean, I've heard about this Day of the Dead that they do.

Yeah.

Everyone basically has a party to celebrate the dead people.

Because we don't do that, we find it all a bit morbid, don't we, Death?

We don't like to talk about it.

Certainly don't have a day dedicated to it.

But then we waste days, you know, dedicated to like Pancake Tuesday.

Why have we got a day for pancakes?

It's the sort of thing my dad would do that.

He built a barbecue bit like this.

Little grill bit in there.

That was a funnel.

Alright mate, how's it going?

Yeah, not too bad.

How are you?

It's alright, you know, not having a bad time, eh?

Good.

Which is an odd thing to say because it was wrestling yesterday.

How'd you get home?

Um

it depends.

I mean if it's edited badly I could come across like a I'm I'm weak.

But uh I think I got a few good news in there.

Now obviously it's

Easter Sunday and there's a week a very authentic Mexican Easter Sunday celebration that's happening today.

It's going traditional but unfortunately the government's still trying to ban it.

What do you mean?

But there's a local fan I think it wants you to get involved.

What do you mean they what do you mean about the banning bit?

Maybe there's something about the event itself that makes them worried.

I'm not sure.

I've been here now a couple of days and I've already seen that they're not really bothered about health and safety.

So the fact that there's something that they are worried about the health and safety of means that it must be pretty mental.

That's the either investigating.

I'm just waiting here for Carlos, then, isn't it?

Chicken with a gun.

Hello, mate.

Carlos, how are you doing?

You alright?

I'm fine, mate.

What are they doing?

It's a.

It's kind of a...

a whistle, we always do...

No, but I wasn't that shocked with the whistle.

It was sort of the 30-foot frog that they were carrying.

Oh yeah.

It's called the Judas.

We use things we don't like and we burn them.

They try to stop it because it's a bit dangerous.

What sort of

danger?

Get an injury, but not like death.

But

there's a lot of injuries.

Look, he's a master craftsman.

Yeah, he made fireworks.

What just on the street like this?

Yeah, are these safe?

Look at him.

Has he lost an eye from doing this?

Yeah.

One of these fireworks, you know, they turn on and then go like a rocket and they hit you.

And he got hit in the eye.

Who's taking the security measures?

I haven't seen anyone who looks official.

I've seen a fellow with one eye who's in charge of making the fireworks.

That's why the government tried to ban it.

But it would help the situation if they just got a fellow with two eyes.

Do you know what I mean?

Maybe the government would say, well, at least they're trying to make it safer.

But I don't, I mean, respect to the man for making a living out of it, but I don't think he's the best man for the job.

This is a glass of Al Torito.

Yeah.

This one is going to burn.

It's fucking mental.

It's not fucking mental.

Yo, it's it.

Y'all enjoy it, mate.

So all this is gunpowder, yeah?

I'm not getting under that.

You're not getting under that, mate.

If you want to go up there, dude.

Well, Jamie is in charge of health and safety, and yet he's fucked off back, you see?

So I don't know what I'm meant to be doing here.

I'm meant to be over there.

Is that a safe place?

It's our safe place, mate.

Let's go.

What?

I just got burned.

There we go.

Where's your house?

House!

Holiday!

Come on, mate!

Run, follow!

I'll follow you!

But what's this got to do with Jesus?

Because it's Easter Sunday.

There's no hymns going on, there's no chocolate eggs.

I mean I haven't read the Bible, but I don't remember anyone mentioning setting fire to a cow with a load of fireworks on it.

The thing is, we burn things

and we think that it's Judas Iscariot, you know.

It's like in vengeance, you know, you betrayed Jesus Christ, so you can't burn.

But I wasn't getting that from that, I just saw lunatics.

Steve sent me a text sort of saying, right, you know, stop all you're messing about.

Which is a bit out of order.

He's the one who sorted all this out.

but he says you know you're not there for messing about you're meant to be seeing the the wonder

so i'm gonna uh make my way over that way today so you might as well stop off on the way and meet some charrows didn't know what they were he said they're uh sort of mexican cowboys

ricky sort of said to steve to tell me to try a sombrero on that was the main thing he wanted not sort of broadening my mind or meeting local people trying local food.

He just wants me to wear a hat.

Close your mouth.

Not my sort of thing, really, you know, cowboys and that.

I've never been into one as a kid or anything, but I'll have a look.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

They're meant to be like proper men though, aren't they?

But then, you know, are they?

If I went home and met up with the lakes and said, oh, what are you doing these days?

I said, oh, I've got into horses.

They'd go, what's the fucking to you, you knob?

Do you know what I mean?

It's not a very manly thing to do at home.

Turn!

Turn!

But for some reason, when you think of cowboys, you do think manliness.

But I think maybe it's losing it a little bit now.

Maybe cowboys aren't like that since,

you know, since Brokeback Mountain and the village people.

There's been little things eaten away at cowboys that are sort of ruining the reputation a little bit.

John Wayne, you know, the new turn out to be gay.

They will bring something

to toughen you up a little bit and then you will ride the bull.

I can't get on a bull.

You shouldn't be getting on the bull.

They've got loads of horses here.

Why are we messing about on an animal that you don't

ride?

They haven't got brains, have they?

They'll just run riot.

I don't want to do it.

We will have just a little drink of tequila

to smoothen your muscles and give you a little bit of strength.

One kind of tequila, they put worms in it.

And it's a very nice thing to offer the worm to the guests.

What is wrong with you people?

May we split?

Just piss arsing about on bulls, drinking worms.

I've been wrestling.

I've only been here about three days.

It's like everyone's daring each other to do something stupid.

Get on a cow, get on a bull.

Yeah, let's have a wrestle.

Eat a worm.

Do you know what I mean?

It's just, it's never ending.

It's just...

Actually, for us, this is normal, man.

I know, but that's what's frightening.

Do you chew or do you just swallow?

Of course you chew and you try to figure out the flavor and everything.

Alright, here we go.

Swallow it.

Get it.

Oh, gosh.

Fucking hell, man.

I don't bend over because I'm going to be sick.

Right, well, okay.

Let's let's jump inside.

Can I see him?

I've caught you out, haven't I?

Get him pissed up, stick him on a ball.

If anything happens, you just...

See, this isn't helping you, Gene.

You know, seeing I've got to suddenly jump out of the way.

Shit!

Look, look, look, look.

Shit!

I'm not coming out there.

No, seriously, Jamie, I can't.

There's no way.

Look.

pack it in keep it shut

see

what's that he's got it's for handling the right exactly no no no no no

fucking hell away hey no no no no no

no just let me go home

jesus christ fucking hell

what was that start winding me up now seriously right enough's enough come on you know no chance.

Carl.

Get it.

Come back, man.

Carl.

It's your turn.

No, Carl.

Leave it.

Seriously, I've ridden a horse, I've had a drink, I've eaten a worm.

Carl, come back.

No.

Load of bees are you?

He's anywhere safe.

Do you sell Mexican jumping beans?

Mexican jumping beans?

No.

Do you know

Mexican jumping beans?

No.

I don't understand why you've never heard of them.

One of the best things to come out of Mexico.

Little bean.

You're all stood around here, nothing to do.

You'd love these things.

Just Just pop them on the floor, jump about.

You seeing that?

What is it?

It's the thing, isn't it?

That's the

Chichen Itza that we're seeing.

I mean, it's meant to be a place that, you know, they used to sacrifice people and all that, but they've stuck it on a number plate.

You have one new message.

Hello, mate.

Steve here with me, Mr.

DeVane.

Now, listen, we've got some exciting news for you.

Chichen Itza was built by an ancient civilisation called the Mayans.

You're probably aware of that.

But anyway, you're going to be meeting some of the ancestors of the people who actually built it.

Just be nice, okay?

You'll get.

Well, change of plan, isn't it?

I thought I was going to be seeing the wonder today.

But Ricky and Steve have called up, said, forget that.

You're going to be spending the afternoon in a little village with some Mayan people.

So, should be alright, shouldn't it?

You know, after all that hassle on the you know the horses with the charos and that, it should be a nice little relaxing afternoon, really.

Louise?

Hola.

Hey, how are you doing?

Fine, thanks.

And you?

I'm Carl.

Nice to meet you, Carl.

Good to see you.

You're a big lad.

Who's this?

Here's my uncle, Jose.

Your uncle, Jose.

Jose.

Jose, nice to see you, Jose.

The name of this small village is Yashuna.

Yashuna has around 500 people.

It's a quiet place, it's not like a big city.

Because we don't have a lot of things to do here.

No, there's nothing to do here, is there?

Nothing, it's it's just working in the cornfield and then you go back to your home.

Has he had a good day?

Is he happy?

Yes.

He says yes.

When did he last have a bad day?

Bash in Kas Kim.

Never.

Never.

He's happier with it.

He looks happy.

He's got a happy face.

Yeah, he's happy.

Yeah, he's got his name.

He's smiling.

I just stood around.

Look, there's a fellow there just playing with a bit of rubber.

I don't know what day it is.

It can't be good for you, this, can it?

That fellow was smiling.

Has he ever seen other life?

Has he ever been in society?

Just here in this little town, living here in the little house.

But what happened?

He doesn't know what he's missing now, does he?

Anyway, he said, let's go knock down a wasp nest.

I said, do what?

He says, yeah, we knock down the wasp nest and get all the

larva from it.

What do you do with them?

We go study it.

Lava.

Wasp lava.

Yes.

You eat wasp lava.

Don't say wasp nice.

Oh, yeah.

Shitting your cycle wasps.

Shit.

They're all coming out.

Fucking hell.

Fucking hell.

Don't die.

Seriously, how good can a lava egg taste?

Is it worth it?

They cut well in.

Move your hand, leave that hand.

Fucking hell, it's all.

There it is.

Fucking hell.

Don't ruin it, okay?

Just look at

one thing.

These little larvas,

wasp larvas, are still in life, and you can eat it like this.

Went in their house, tiny place.

Tiny to me, isn't it?

And a woman who was doing the cooking.

She'd made some

tortillas.

And then they got the larva out of the wasp nest.

And it's alright, we've stuck them in some chilies and stuff.

You can hardly taste them.

The chilies are more powerful.

Well, don't put them in then.

If it's a chilies, that's nice, and the sauce, don't bother with the grubs.

Ah, Jesus, that's really hot.

And then I thought I'd give them some

new experience.

How do you like that?

It's good, isn't it?

I mean, I think Louise has had stuff like that.

You don't get that fat from wasp larvae.

I mean, he had a belly on him.

And he kept saying, oh, no, it's the wasp stuff, it makes you big and strong.

How many are you eating?

Because they're only that big and there's not much fat in them.

But the the uncle, you could tell he was kind of like, oh, this is alright, this.

I think he enjoyed it.

So I'm happy about that.

I gave him a new experience there, I think.

And I just was hoping that he'd get a taste of something new.

I think, you know what, I might leave this little village and go into town and get some crisps.

Anyway, I have to see the wonder that they built tomorrow.

Alright Carlos Steve here mate, how's it going?

I am presuming you were suitably impressed by the Mayans and so

now is the time for you to finally see the wonder that they built all those years ago, Kichenica.

Sure, I just saw something.

Get there before dawn, alright mate, because you want to save the tourists then.

And it'll be, you know, particularly spectacular because the sun will be coming up.

Jealous of you.

I'm very jealous of you, mate.

Enjoy!

What's that?

Is there someone pumping a tire up?

Every wonder that I've been to so far, I've been whinging a lot, haven't I?

So I'm going to try and change my attitude on this one because that's what this trip's been about, really.

I've been eating all sorts of stuff that I wouldn't normally eat.

You know, I've been doing things that I wouldn't normally do.

So I'm going to try and go there with the idea that I'm going to love it.

Isn't this it?

Hello?

Yeah, I'm filming now.

I'm at the actual wonder.

But I told you what to do.

You just get this.

You get the Scarp lead

that's coming out the back of the DVD player.

Yeah, and just stick that in the back of the the telly.

There's like a there's two holes.

Use the first one.

Jesus, I'm at the

Yeah, it looks alright.

Yeah, it's just a big pyramid.

Right, well all you've got to do is hit that A V button on the remote control and it'll come up.

Alright.

Talk to you later.

Hola, welcome to Chichenisa, home to one of the most amazing and advanced cultures in history, the Mayas.

I am Gabriela, and I will be your host.

Buenos Dias, Gabriela.

Yes, the Maya were amazing.

Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that point to this site that has once been covered in human skulls.

I mean, we're only sort of just started listening.

Straight away, it's like violence.

It's just what they used to do with all like these dead heads.

Stick the skulls on, frighten people off.

So it was sort of cladded in heads.

If you lived around here, you'd constantly be hearing like screaming going on.

And

as nice as it is, it's lovely.

Do you know what I mean?

All these trees, nice buildings, and that.

But that would make me go, I wanna move, to be honest, having all that going on all the time.

Someone's screaming a tripe out.

This would have been a good hiding place when you think about it.

If

you're due to have your head cut off, great place to sort of run around, innit?

Got too many though, haven't they?

It's like an IKEA for like columns, isn't it?

Which one, which one do you want?

Well, I need they're all the same, just

can't get shot of them.

How many do you want?

How many do you need?

Standing at the Tsompantle,

you can still get that eerie feeling that the Spaniards felt when they first witnessed the human sacrifice conducted by the indigenous people throughout this region.

Jesus, that is big, isn't it?

It's coming this way.

Can't it love that?

Want some more?

Yeah, it's seeing it.

Yeah, I'll have a bit more of that.

It's weird how you can have something in common with something so different.

That's like millions of years old, isn't it?

But it still likes a hog knob

I'm up to here with this

It's funny innit even though it's like a bad vibey area with a better human league, it's happier, innit?

Oh, ah, yeah, of course it is.

Depressed mode.

If they would have like

televised the sacrificing Sky TV having this,

just can't get it enough.

Cut another one off.

It's getting hotter as I'm burning up.

And I just can't seem to get it

right.

Oh, here we go, look.

Here we go.

It's already starting.

Oh, tap.

Oh, yeah.

Got any um jumping beans?

Mexican jumping beans?

No.

Do you know anyone who does round here?

No.

No one?

No.

Why not?

I tell you, you'd make a killing.

Just get rid of half the plates.

Have some jumping beans.

It's getting busy now, isn't it?

What's the clapping thing about?

Yeah, it's just.

Oh, now I'm hearing it.

It's like a boing, boing, boing.

Is that me doing that?

Just fluke, though, innit?

That can't be.

Whoever designed that didn't say to the builder, right, listen, I need some sort of structure, some sort of platform that we can cut heads off.

We want the head to roll down,

and then just at the bottom, something where I clap and it sort of bounces back.

They wouldn't, that just wouldn't be on the to-do list.

Is that, I mean, who, you know, is that what they really wanted this to be like when they built it?

This wonder, a wonder of the world.

Is she alright, eh?

This woman's fainted.

You see, though, look, everybody loves it.

It gets a bigger crowd than the wonder now, because people go, What's going on, Elsie?

No, no, no, get the camera out.

I think they're dying.

Oh, she's still alive, let's move on.

The ambulance now.

I prefer to get out of here now.

I feel like I've seen it.

I've had a bit of a lesson with this.

It's been alright, it's not been my favourite bit of Mexico, if I'm honest.

More people flogging shit.

I'm half tempted just to sort of fall over like that woman and get a lift home.

I'm going home today.

It's all alright, you know, I'm always sort of happy about going home.

But

I've enjoyed it here

quite a lot.

I'd probably say it's my favourite place I've ever been to.

Which is a pretty big statement, isn't it?

I mean, the wonder wasn't great.

I wouldn't say come to Mexico to see the wonder.

It's everything else.

There doesn't seem to be any sort of rules, they just do what they want to do.

And I felt like I've been able to do what I want to do whilst I've been here, really.

That's something else as well.

Women are quite,

you know, they look quite big, big people, a lot of them.

Do you like that?

In a way, because they don't care.

At home, women don't eat what they want to eat, do they?

You go, what are you having?

They'll go, you know, I'll say to Suzanne, oh, you have chippy.

Yeah, alright,

I'll just have haddock.

And then I go, well, I'm having cod and chips.

And then you get them.

And she's like, can I have some chips?

No, you can't.

You had the option to have chips, but you said you don't want to.

It's all that thing about weight.

Whereas here, she's having chips, she's having chips day in, day out, she's not bothered.

And I quite like that.

It's a sort of a free spirit they've got, innit?

They live the life they want to live,

which we don't really do at home.

You know,

I like it.

I think I could live here

for a bit.

The only thing that I'm a bit sort of gutted about is not seeing a Mexican jumping beam.

beam.

Yeah.
