All right, we're playing Time Guest again. I really enjoyed it last time. Let's do the daily. Let's see what it is
0:04
Oh, right. We've got Paul McCartney. We've got a pony. We've got maybe, is that Linda McCartney, his wife
0:09
I know she was big into animals. I'm presuming they're on Abbey Road. In terms of the year, I don't know
0:14
It is black and white. And then, do you know what? I don't know where Abbey Road is. Is it London? Is it Liverpool
0:19
We'll try Liverpool to begin with. I know I should really know that, but I don't, all right
0:22
Not immediately spotting it in Liverpool. I think it's London. So I'm going to aim for London
0:27
But once again, I wouldn't know actually how to find it. We'll aim around Camden, but I'm sure that's not right
0:33
And then in terms of the year, it's currently on 62. Should we go like 1970
0:39
It's not with any of the Beatles. It is in black and white, but looking at the clothes and whatnot
0:43
it feels more like very early 70s. Let's just make the guess and see how far away we were
0:49
It's not too bad, to be fair. It was 1977. It was Linda and Paul
0:53
And Abbey Road is in London. It is right there, apparently. Abbey Road Studios
0:58
I had all the info. It was the geography that let me down there. But still, 8,000 out of 10,000
1:03
Let's play the next one. Ooh, okay, right. Gibraltar. That's a big clue, surely
1:08
It's the 21st of June. But do we have a year? Have we got any years
1:12
I don't think we've got any years. Step one, can we find Gibraltar on the map
1:15
I think I can. It's like around it. Yeah, it's right there. There we go
1:19
And Gibraltar's not that big either. So hopefully we can get a decent score here
1:23
I suppose we probably go kind of downtown Gibraltar. So, I mean, hang on
1:27
Let's have a look around. I mean, some of these shops might still exist. Let's find a high street
1:31
Can we have any shops? Oh, we're not getting any shop names. We've got a middle school
1:35
Okay. We've got a university down here. It's going to be a high street, isn't it
1:38
Any of these houses look like high streets. Maybe some of these do. Bleak House Road
1:43
We could go with Bleak House Road, maybe. It doesn't feel built up enough. Maybe I should be up the top bit again
1:48
Town area. Ah, I completely missed that. I was way too south. It's going to be in town area, isn't it
1:53
Yeah, this is more like it. Yes, yes, there we go. We've got shops popping up
1:57
All right, just in case, can we see any of these shops? So I need to look for..
2:01
What's something that looks like it could still be around? Something Oil Gibraltar Limited
2:05
Yeah, let's look for that. There's a Gibraltar International Bank. Okay. This feels like a street that could have a bank
2:10
It's Main Street. There is a bit of a curve as well. You know what? I'm going to stick here
2:14
So we've got our location, but what year do I go? Hmm. That's tricky because the fashion's going to be different to just UK fashion around the same time
2:22
He looks like Pablo Escobar there. So the last one was 1977. This looks older than that
2:27
First one was 1977, so we'll go 1967, and I'm in the right place, hopefully, so let's make our guess
2:33
Oh, it was actually later. It was 1980, 13 years off. But we were in a good spot
2:37
We were only 300 meters away, so that's nice. But yeah, the year let us down, 2,000 out of 500
2:42
Still not bad. Let's play the next one. Oh, what we got here
2:46
This could be Rio, maybe? Is that where Chrysler Redeemer is? It looks like the right kind of thing, surely
2:51
It potentially isn't, but it's what I'm going to go with. And then we've just got lots of beach goers having a nice pleasant time
2:57
We've got a big afro haircut. We've got quite a few afros to be fair
3:01
This looks 60s, mid 60s maybe. Let's head over to Rio de Janeiro and we want to get to a nice beach
3:08
Right, if there's Christ the Redeemer, do you think that could add up? And then hopefully we're on Copacabana Beach
3:14
Yeah, we'll go in the middle and the year 1964. Should we go for it Make guess Here we go Ah it was 74 but our location was spot on We were in Coca Beach which is nice Ah I suppose with the afros and the fashion 70s makes more sense than 60s doesn it But hey once again we not too far away at all
3:31
Let's play the next one. Ooh, we've got the royals. We've got the queen
3:35
We've got, I can't remember his name. Oh, boo, got Prince Andrew there
3:39
Boo. I don't think William or Harry are there, because that would have been helpful if they were like children or whatever
3:44
What castle is that? It looks like Scotland. I know they own Balmoral Castle, but I don't actually know what Balmoral looks like
3:50
I don't think they'd be living in that, actually. I think that's a bit stupid, isn't it? It kind of looks Welsh almost, doesn't it
3:55
Welsh or Scottish. It kind of just looks like early 2000s, maybe
3:59
So if it's early 2000s, she'd be about 70. He'd be around a similar age
4:03
So they're just walking along doing their thing. So maybe it's even like late 90s
4:07
I think I might go late 90s. I don't quite know where to go, though
4:11
Nah, I'm gonna go early 2000s. I'm gonna go like 2003. and three. And then, I don't know. Where's there going to be a castle? There's lots of castles in
4:19
Wales. The houses kind of look quite Welsh as well. Oh, hang on, hang on. We've got an Irish flag
4:23
That is so unbelievably helpful. Yeah, it didn't really look like England, but I did forget about
4:27
Ireland, I'll be honest. Do we go Republic of Ireland? Do we go Northern Ireland? I guess the
4:31
Irish flag means we should probably go Republic of Ireland, logically. So from there, maybe
4:36
I don't know. Cork? Why not? Any castles in Cork that we can see? Not really, to be fair
4:41
It looks like a good spot. That's a cool castle. Where could it be
4:45
I'm trying to spot a castle somewhere on the map, but nothing's shown to me. Yeah, I'm just looking around randomly, and I'm not seeing anything
4:51
So I'll just plunk myself around here. It looks quite rural. It's not going to be quite right, but let's make the guess
4:56
It was 2011, so eight years off. Not bad. Queen Elizabeth II and her entourage visit the Rock of Cashel in Ireland
5:03
We got the right country. We weren't that far away. Let's do the next round. Round five of five
5:08
Like, ooh, it's another older one. This looks definitely our oldest one so far
5:12
What has happened here? Hang on. This looks like a bit of a plane. Did it fall out of the sky
5:16
What happened? Sterling Place, one way, 7th Avenue. Avenue, I kind of associate with New York
5:22
I'm sure there's avenues all over the US. Fire Department, New York. Okay, so at least we know it's going to be New York
5:28
I guess we could try and find Sterling Place or 7th Avenue. That would probably make the most sense, wouldn't it
5:32
All right, these are all like 11th Street. So that's not quite right. Where's the avenues
5:36
We got any avenues, guys? No. These don't have any avenues. All right
5:39
Wall Street. I've heard of that one. Any Stirling Streets then? We'll look for Stirling Streets
5:44
I can't see the street that I'm looking for, guys. Where is the street? Avenue. Why is it so small
5:48
Turn in my eyes, guys. I can't see. The avenues are in letters. It says Avenue T, Avenue U
5:53
What about Avenue 7, guys? Oh, 4th Avenue, 5th Avenue, 7th Avenue
5:57
That's a good sign. So now can we find Stirling? No, we can't. None of them line up
6:01
That's fine, though, because I'm happy going just around here. Let's plonk ourselves in the middle there
6:06
And then what do I want to do at this point? Do I want to just aim for kind of, I don't know, 1953
6:11
If I keep saying answers that have a three on the end, one of them will be right. We'll go 54
6:15
Let's go 54. And let's make our guess. Oh, it was 1960
6:19
So we were pretty close. Aftermath of a mid-air plane collision that caused a Douglas DC 811 to crash into the streets of Brooklyn
6:26
All right, hang on. Let's just have a little zoom in. Ah, yeah, 7th Avenue does go all the way up
6:30
Only six years off and we were only five kilometers. 8,000 out of 10,000, which means our final score
6:35
is a very respectable 37K. I think that's my best score yet
6:39
I would love to get over 40,000. Should we have another go? Let's do it
6:43
Right 31st Annual Academy Awards What is it like the Oscars Is that what it is I think so Don know where the oscars would be held I be honest Well I do it at rko pantages Wasn there the hundredth oscars like not that long ago
6:56
So that would mean this was about 70 years ago, right? Which would put us in the 50s, you know, maybe 53
7:02
But it's 31 so we'll go 54. Yeah, I'm happy to leave it on that
7:06
This kind of does look like 54, doesn't it? Yeah, but then where on earth do I go
7:11
Do you think Los Angeles maybe? Where's Hollywood? How do I find Hollywood? Around here. There we go. There's West Hollywood
7:16
There's Beverly Hills. So if we zoom right in on Walt Disney Concert Hall. Yeah, see that's the kind of place it could be
7:22
Is the name of this building Pantages? It doesn't sound like a very good name of a building, does it
7:26
We've got Historic Broadway is the name of this tube station. So that kind of thing would line up
7:32
We've got a chapel. Now we need something fancy. Yeah, back over here. Civic Center Mall
7:38
That could be the kind of thing, couldn't it? Music Centre. Yeah
7:42
Walt Disney's Concert Hall. Okay, we're going to go around there. Broadway Civic
7:46
Los Angeles Civic Hall. Let's go with that. I'm happy to make our guess. Five years off
7:49
And we were in Los Angeles. We were only nine kilometres away
7:54
So where actually was it? Okay, it is Hollywood Panthers Theatre. Crowd lining street under the marquee of the Panthers Theatre on the 31st Academy Awards
8:02
1959. Ah, there's actually been 95 Academy Awards so far. So that kind of makes sense with my maths
8:08
If only I knew that we could have been on or something. But 8,700 is a decent starting score
8:13
Oh, you are kidding me. Oh, no. I have no idea. I genuinely have no clue
8:18
What could they be building there? You think they're building the Burj Khalifa, maybe? This could be Dubai, couldn't it
8:23
Just trying to think what buildings are notable enough to warrant pictures of them being built
8:27
popping up on this website. And it's obviously not Empire State Building. Yeah, it's got to be Dubai, hasn't it
8:32
Right, so can we find the Burj Khalifa? Yes, we can. Popped right up
8:36
So that would mean potentially could we be like it's a little difficult with the scale, but we may be there
8:41
I don't quite know which way around we are but there is buildings in the background I might be wrong obviously because no one's got like a little united arab emirates flag on their helmets or anything
8:50
And also I have no idea on the year either. I feel like it's kind of new though
8:54
So maybe 2008 should we just try that i'm happy to give it a go. Oh my location's good
9:00
And I was two years off as well. Oh, that was a really good score 9,795 out of 10,000
9:05
Oh, I should have been just a bit further away. It's difficult working out the scaling
9:09
So that was workers changing shift during the construction of the Burj Khalifa. We were 200 meters away
9:14
Oh, very nice. Very nice. Okay, next. I don't know when this is
9:19
Immediately, I thought it was Piccadilly Circus, but maybe it isn't. It does look like London though
9:23
And I think that's a, yeah, we've got some Union Jack bunting. And then we've got a St. George flag
9:28
And then the clothes that these kids were wearing maybe 15 years ago
9:32
What's that? Does that say Birmingham maybe? What else could that say other than Birmingham
9:37
I was definitely thinking London, but hey, I'll zoom in on Birmingham. Why not? Birmingham city
9:41
centre. Yeah, go on. You got any fountains kicking about? There'll be some fountains kicking about
9:46
for sure. I don't know where any of them are though. Oh, the fountain inn. If there's a fountain
9:49
inn, there's presumably a fountain nearby. Can't actually see a fountain. I feel like it would show
9:53
on the map. Right, what I'll do is I'll leave that there and then we'll go have a look at London just
9:57
in case. See if we can line things up with Piccadilly Circus. Right, where is Piccadilly Circus
10:01
It's just here. Okay. So our fountain is like the fountain doesn't show up here either
10:07
Which is a bad sign for Birmingham Oh no way if you zoom in fast enough it does right So there is a theater there so that could be that theatre there because that looks like some kind of theatre production doesn it Shall I go with it We got the Union Jacks and stuff there lots of
10:20
other things that could be other than just Birmingham. Yeah, we'll go with it. That doesn't
10:23
look like the Piccadilly Circus fountain though. Piccadilly Circus thing's like a little fairy
10:27
but maybe this is on the outside of it. I'm gonna guess it. Oh god, oh my god, I forgot to do the
10:32
year. Hang on, hang on. Alright, 2011 maybe? Should we go 2011? Yeah, we'll go 2011 and we'll make our
10:37
guess. It was Birmingham! Nah! Hang on, hang on. Let's find out whereabouts in Birmingham. Oh no
10:44
no, no, no. Oh, I was so close where I was. My year was quite good. Oh, that's sad, that. That
10:51
could have been epic for me. Oh, well, okay, never mind. Oh my god, this is a rogue one. We are
10:57
getting tricky now. Oh no. Right, this looks old. This looks like really old, like beginning of the
11:03
20th century, I reckon, maybe. All right, we'll go on 1903. Very nice. Oh, I genuinely have no idea
11:08
They've got scary guns, but then this guy's in a dress. I'm getting a lot of mixed messages here
11:13
They look American, don't they? But it could be Australia. It could be South Africa, maybe. Who
11:19
knows? Look at this lady's outfit. Yeah, we're definitely about right with the year, I reckon. Hang on, everyone's in a dress, aren't they? I think they might be. They might be making some
11:26
kind of statement or something. Okay, I don't know on this one. I'm just gonna go into Texas, because like why not yeah let's go four to worth and let's make our guess there you go men dressed
11:34
in women's clothes at a picnic cricket match and it was australia ah so that's a bad score but uh
11:41
our year was pretty good we're only four years off well that's pretty epic what a cool four for
11:45
such a long time ago right unfortunately i need basically 10 000 points now are they practicing
11:50
for the moon landing that kind of looks like what's going on doesn't it or are they faking
11:53
the moon landing that's also what it sort of looks like look at their like test bit of moon dust
11:58
They must be practicing for the moon landing. So based on that, I'm going to Houston
12:02
I think that's where they were based. They're always chatting to Houston. The other day we landed on the moon was 1969
12:07
So should I stick with 69 or should I change to 68? I feel like it was like December 1969
12:13
So I'll stick with 1969 for the testing. Can we find NASA headquarters in Houston
12:17
If they were launching rockets and stuff, potentially they'd be like on the outside, right
12:21
Rather than in the center. So we've got George Bush Airport. It genuinely might not even be Houston
12:26
I don't know, but it's all I've got really. NASA's the kind of thing that would stick out on the map from quite far away, surely
12:35
I'll tell you what, if it turns out this is actually a film about the moon landing that came out 30 years later, I will be devastated
12:41
I'm not able to find anything related to NASA or space. I'm just looking all over the place, but I can't see it
12:47
So I might just have to hedge my bets and go around the middle. At least if I go in the middle, that means that, like, if they're on any side, I don't end up, like, twice as far away as if I was to guess, like, down here
12:56
So yeah, I'm gonna go for it. Let's make our guess. Apollo 14 flight crew during the lunar EVA training
13:02
So it was actually after the moon landing. Oh, and like I said, it was literally just where my mouse was
13:07
Let me just have a little zoom. NASA Johnson Space Center. It was on the outside of Houston
13:13
But you know what? We're quite close. 9,700, which means 41K. Go on. I think that's respectable
13:21
I think that's a good score. I'm pleased with that, particularly when there was a couple of tricky ones in that round
13:25
So thank you very much for watching. I will leave the link to TimeGasher in the description if you want to try it
13:29
So please subscribe as well. And also, like, give this video a like. It's the first one that didn't get that many views
13:33
But I really enjoy it. So I want to keep recording it. All right, thanks. I'll see you later
