Nothing Much to DoMiniseriesSeason 1 · 2014 · 76 episodesEpisodes1And So It Begins...This is my first video! The first of many to come hopefully. Be sure to come back next Wednesday for more fun times with me, Beatrice Duke. Okay. Bea out.2A Wild Hero Appears!Hah! I made another one!3Project I - Vox PopsI want to experiment more with a visual medium other than photography. This is the first in a series of filming projects that I am setting for myself to complete through the year. In this video I aim to show the interests of an average high school student in New Zealand. I have done this by asking TMI/Too Much Information questions. I am aware of the bias in my selection of people as they are basically all my friends from Messina High.4Football Antics: Part OneThe Messina High School Boys Football team had a rematch in the weekend (of last years semi-final) and Leo's the coach! Thought we'd let you into a bit more of our lives. It's not like we have nothing much else to do! Hahahahahahahaha We're thinking about doing a Q&A video so if you have any questions for me or Hero, comment them below!

We're going to do a Q&A video so if you have any questions for me or Hero, comment them below! (or tweet them or through instagram or via owl or you know, whatever, get in contact with us, we won't bite)7The Game Is Afoot(ball)This here is a video encapturing our trepidation to the football field in order to practice our investigative skills. We would like to dedicate this video to Benedick, the year thirteen, who came up with the title. We would also like to thank the person who held our camera in the second shot. We are very much obligated to you. D&v8Birdsi'm ben, short for benedick, and i'm going to tell you a story.9Summer TipsHello all! A particularly hot afternoon in Auckland the other day inspired me to make this video. Hope you enjoy! - Hero xx Oh! And if you have any questions for us, go ahead and ask! We'll be doing a Q&A sometime soon.10Project II - One ShotAt school the other day I experimented with filming everything in one shot. I managed to capture this fairly typical conversation between my friends. Honestly, Ben and Beatrice just don't know when to quit. So, here it is! A day of my life: caught on camera.11Claudiomy best buddy claudio is on my video blog today. we have some chats about the ladies.12A Special Announcement!Me and Pedro have some pretty big news...13The Ben Showpedro joins me today as we discuss the love life of dear claudio. aaaand, i've seen that q&a videos are all the rage so ask me questions and i'll answer them...14Introducing LeoWe caught Leo after soccer practice and convinced him to make a video with us! So: Introducing.... Leo's face! - Bea We're still doing the Q and A (coming soon!) so keep asking those questions! - Hero xx15Rebuttali refute your assertions16Single PringleHere's me picking up from where I left off in the last video.17Q&A for the Benaddicktsoh my lovely benaddickts, thanks. here you go.18Q&AAnother anon on tumblr also asked "who are Bea and Heros favourite youtubers?" We felt the vid got a bit long so we left the answer out, but a few of our favs include:19Watching 101Footage from Friday afternoon, approximately 1534 hours (3.34pm civilian time). We intend to launch an investigation as we believe these hoi polloi position a threat and it is our duty to protect the common plebeian from such aristocracies. Please continue to watch The Watch. Deductions welcome. D&v20Preparing for Pedro's PartyMuch hilarity occurs when Meg comes over to talk costume ideas for Pedro's party. Urs is thinking of filming the actual party (for one of her 'looking at teenage life' project things) so keep an eye out for that on her channel! Cool. - Bea21Hello Guys I'm at Pedro's Partyyo yo yo i'm gonna be uploading these videos all over tonight.22Bath Time It's a Bath I'm Not Actually Having a Bathbathy bath i am a bat in bath bat bath23Claudio Joins Me in the Bath of Emotionpedro's computer has so many things on the desktop it's very cluttered. yes computer is in bathroom but not wet. pedro has lent me his computer but he does not know this has happened. many thank you pedro. i am uploading these videos on his computer24Pedro's Beeetch??!!!?!!1!!talked about some things, tired and confused. i can explain tomorrow. buttons are weirsd.25Bathhi benaddickts. i've been mulling on this video and my hangover for a wee while now and i wonder what you'd make of it? the video that is. wonder if pedro found claud... fun facts: bath+sleeping=nope don't do it.26All Around Great GuyPedro asked me to upload this to clear everything up. So... enjoy.27Project III - Life of the PartyIt was Pedro Donaldson's costume party last weekend. Celebrating both good times and being the new Student Leader for Messina High! It really was quite the event. Of course, I took the opportunity to further my video projects! So, I brought along my camera, and used what I'd learnt with the one shot at school and just tried to capture the life of the party in one go. I left my camera alone for awhile and, wow, the footage other people took was so interesting. I got a bit of background to the big argument Bea and Ben had. Editing that was interesting. I'm so happy to share the screen with a cat! How cute! And I feel I should mention that Meg said she wanted everyone to see just how much of a dick that guy was, so, happily, I got to show upsides and downsides of the party28Makeup Tutorial feat. a Special Guest!I show you guys some simple, step-by-step makeup tips, with a little help from an expert... Make you sure keep an eye on Ursula's channel over the next few days, no matter what Bea protests! I promise you won't regret it.29Disgustedso you know what???!! i'm never never never never never ever ever going to watch those videos again! goodbye.30Lameclaud and i do another video. augh. i can't believe he'd rather have makeup on his face. hero, hero, hero- no one cares about makeup!! disgusting.31Project IV - Makeup BloopersProject IV: I have put some time into helping Hero with her makeup bloopers. I believe it's something everyone can enjoy.32First World Coat-HangersYeah, no makeup video this week, so sad. WHY was it so popular!??!! As if stealing my coat-hangers wasn't enough, now she's stealing my viewers?! Wat. I heard the bloopers were GROSS so I am STAYING AWAY. It can contaminate Ursula's channel.33Truthi overheard my friends saying some things and oh my god what is even happening in life anymore it's not true is it??? i think it's true. it's ridiculous but it's true. help guys.34Olivesi took the camera to the pizza party but here's this first. it was like half edited yesterday but today i decided, yeah man i will put it up and so here it is. and today's footage will come out i dunno tomorrow. wah so confusing but i've been thinking alot and here's my thoughts hope you're all well!! i feel like i might be coming down with something.35Pizzafootage from the pizza party! so proud of our football team for winning the game!! also okay there were these kids next door having a party too and who knew kids could be so loud man. wah i am outraged by them. interrupting this glorious moment i shared with beatrice. i mean, come on, "i'd rather be upstairs with my best buddy benedick" there's a double meaning in that.36Problems with PizzaHello everyone! Me again. An update on the life and times of me, Beatrice Duke, and my fellow companions. And Ben the dick. Talking about updates: ONE THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS YESTERDAY?!!! YAAAAAY! That's crazy. You're all amazin' hahahaha! wat37The Limits of Technology and the Art of Self-Representation in a Modern WorldYeah, another video where I talk about my phone. I know, not so great... There's just nothing else to talk about. Everything is completely normal.38Dear BenedickHey Team! It's Pedro here. Welcome to my house! Well, bedroom. Thought you'd all enjoy this update on Ben's wellbeing. And, to Ben, hope you take our message to heart when you watch this. Go get that girl of your dreams, that feisty femme fatale, with eyes as blue as cornflowers and hair like sunshine, daisies, and buttercups. Seriously, with your dashing smile and chocolate brown hair, you can't lose.39Help Me (Make Hero's Present Awesome)BEWARE!!! Hero!! Birthday present spoilers!!!! And Ursula, sorry, the angles are cringey and there is a LOT of shaky cam. So, yeah, really awkward but I needed to put a vid up this week. Just, don't watch it eh? Cool.40Q&A 2: The Second OneThank you again for all your wonderful questions! We had a lot of fun making this video. Also, thank you Balthazar for the beautiful guitar playing, and Verges, for your contribution on the kazoo - Hero xx41An OdeMy last video of Balthazar was apparently horrific as it was filmed on my phone ("It's just wrong"), so Ursula helped me to film this song AND edited it cause she's just that great. Definitely does him justice. The song's hilarious Balthy! You always know how to make me laugh. Good job hahaha42BenaddiQ&Ationhi guys thanks again for all your questions!! there were so many. so. many. sorry it's been awhile since my last upload but i have been languishing with headaches and footaches and toothaches and backaches... update! my cousin has brought me tea. boy oh boy, it's nice having someone younger here who i can boss around.43Bea's the Best!Sorry footage is a couple of weeks old, but Bea's busy with a history assignment at the moment, and I thought you might enjoy seeing this little conversation! The footage is from when we had school holidays and the girls came over for brunch! - Hero xx44Watch This, ClaudioWatch this, Claudio. Pedro here. Thanks for helping me edit this, John.45Sleepover!Hi guys! Breaking the weekly schedule here! Bea, the girls, and I hung out last night and had so much fun we just HAD to share our evening with you ASAP. Sorry about not capturing more of it! But I'm not sure you guys would have found it that interesting. See you on Wednesday! - Hero xx46Hypotheticallypedro and i (ben, aka benaddicktion, aka this is my channel) have been debating whether or not to put this video out since we filmed it on sunday. still not sure this is the right thing to do but it'd be good to hear your guys thoughts. and john had some good reasons as well. it is all hypothetical of course. hypothetically.47My First TimeHello everyone! I've been wanting to do this video for a while now, so it was nice to have a reason to! I was planning to do another one with Claud this week, but he's been very busy over the last few days with football. We both seem to have a lot on at the moment, what with mid-year assignments and things to focus on! I also have a party to organise! But hopefully you will see one with the two of us soon, I swear he does exist!48A Scandal in MessinaWe do not exactly know how or what of this footage there is to make. But we are positive that it is of upmost impotence. We have received this case and shall do our best to solve the mystery at foot!49How to Be a Hero in the KitchenHello everyone! We've been so busy organising the party that the only thing we had time to film for you was...to do with the party! Ursula said she might bring her camera (it's on Saturday!). I hope she does, her videos are always delightful! Also, people have been asking for a hair braiding tutorial so I will do that for next Wednesday, as well as update you on the party of course!50Investigating LeoThis is more footage, of which we captured yesterday afternoon. We are needing to take drastic action at this point in time regarding the last video which we believed proved holy the worstness of the personal of Robert Robbie Borachio, Cora Petunia Anderson, and most of all John Donaldson. But also Mr Borachio.51Evidence.Footage from last week. We think this will clarity the situation and make it known to all how very bastardly John is. We were too late with our interruptions to stop this and shall continue gathering information on this case.52Hero's BirthdayHere's the footage from last Saturday night. I didn't want to put it up because I thought it would come across as sensational. However, people have already uploaded edited footage from their phones onto facebook, and, personally, I don't believe the situation has been fairly represented. Here is an unbiased point of view.53IdiotsI don't understand some people - Bea54Wordswe thought now was a good time to put this up.55Two Go AdventuringHello Watchers! We are in the midst of making action plans for acting! We will soon begin our quest for FREEDOM! LIBERTY! FEMINISM! WATCH coming SOON, hopefully if all conglomerates.56'Brothers'mum let some people into my room yesterday while i was getting washing in. we made a video.57What Happened at MidnightExpect more! The Watch is on the case! Our team of editors, sleuthers, and cinematographers, who consist of agent Ezekiel and Lololorien are on the job. To the diligent, nothing is difficult. We will get answers.58Partners in CrimeThe Watch is holding captured two members of the Team we know as EVIL. This is merely the opening of our interrogation of these criminologists. Note- Robert seems inebreated. This is no cause of us, he was like that when we found him.59The Case of Artful CrimeWe continue our digressions with TEAM EVIL. Facts are uncovered. We do not plan on letting them go unless they present us with factual information of the highest veritaserum.60Trouble Is Our BusinessWe have had a truly electrifying revelation. So, after much deliberation, we have set them, the criminals, free. Under the condition that Mr Borachio will meet us at the appointed hour on Monday, at the art block at 0915 hours, just after form time. Our handiwork was not exactly requited, as we still are not sure why or what or where or who is going on. One thing’s for certain; we are certainly aggrieved.61To JohnThis is a last resort. We haven't been able to get ahold of you. I don't know, maybe you'll respond to this? Mum's not going to work tomorrow, her and dad are thinking about organising a search. Just let them know you're okay.62The Three SeniorsWe finally received a confession to his criminological actions from Robert with witnesses Claudio and Peter (aka Pedro). Well we understand what this fellow had to do with the whole carbuncal now. We just need John to put together this puzzle of sorts. He is now of the upmost impotence to the mystery at hand. Our condolences to the Duke family.63HeroOn Friday the 26th of September we will be meeting at the Circle of Friends in Western Springs Park, Auckland. People should come around 3:30pm. Ursula will have her camera as she has offered to film the messages for Hero. To the people who I have talked to about this already- you better show up. We would appreciate if no one tried to contact Hero’s parents, who have recently let us know that they will be away for another few weeks. We have that under control.64ConfessionWhen editing this video, I became increasingly aware of how self-centered this action seems. It’s not meant to sound like an excuse. It was the only way I can begin to apologise. If this is not explanation enough, try watching all the videos of Benaddicktion, Nothing Much To Do, and Watch Projects.65Nyeehthere has been so much angst on this channel recently and the world isn’t always a bad place. i wanted to put something good into the world, i wanted to remind the world that there are things like flamingos and ukuleles and friendship. please be happy benaddickts. i hope this makes you happy.66Songthis song is for bea. it is called beatrice, you're vivacious. because you are. i hope this helps to cheer you up. thank you to meg and balthazar for your help with this. that's not me looking at the lyrics. no it's not. really. really truly. and i didn't forget a verse. and i never lie. and i never rap. or wrap. not even presents. christmas is a horrible time. no surprises for you.67Project V - For HeroThroughout this year I have made a few videos. This is the one I am most proud of. Hero Duke; you are courageous and beautiful and a better person than any of us.68Sigh Not SoAnother song by Balthazar. Genuine as always.69Hello AgainThank you for watching our videos, and I’m sorry for my absence. Your support during these last few weeks has been incredible, and helped me through what I can only describe as a very hard time. I hope you respect my decision to not be angry anymore, but to forgive. I think there has been enough resentment and confusion amongst my friends. When I filmed this video I thought it didn’t need saying, but in case anyone needs clarification; Claudio and I are not back together. I’ve also been keeping up with my school work and I’m on track for passing the year with good grades. I'm really looking forward to when my parents come home in a couple of weeks.70The Mystery of the Disappearing CatThere are a few people we feel may want to shoulder the mantel of truth and justice and to this we say "Use it well."71Project VI - MontageOn Sunday I organised a picnic for my friends. I thought I’d share some of the brighter moments of the day, I hope that in some small way this makes up for the last video I posted. This is by no means the end of the discussion of what has occurred over the past few months, but for myself I want to acknowledge what is good about my group of friends. This will be my last video of the year, I need to focus on my school work and look after my friends. I won’t stop filming, I just want to get better at it before showing my work to the world again, there is a lot to reflect on. Goodbye, and thank you to you all for watching my videos, it has been immensely encouraging having your support.72Way to Tell YouAlright, fine. I’ve put this up. Did you see that? That thing that just left? That was my last shred of dignity. It’s gone forever. This was never meant to see the light of YouTube. Dammit Balthazar. P.S. 100% NOT a song for Benedick Hobbes. Nope.73Bleurghhero skedaddled soon after pizza yesterday but me and bea wanted to make this video due to our viewing adventure. enjoy! muchos love, teamb74Nothing Much to DoThis is our last video. Turns out having nothing much to do was a bit of a lie. Drama aside, we’ve definitely enjoyed making vlogs. Golly, we’ve learnt a lot this year! So what’s going to be happening when you don’t see our faces anymore? Next year Bea’s in Auckland, saving up to go abroad. Hero’s going to be at school still. All thrilling stuff we can assure you! So, yes. We won’t be back next Wednesday. Never again. Gone forever. Farewell, dear viewers! Have good lives!75One Foot on Sea One on Shore One in the Boiling Hot Lavaben here. also pedro. but mostly me because this is my channel and i am benaddicktion. first: cake is really yum. also it is 3am. we have been editing for aaaaaaages. we’re still at bea’s so we have to be super quiet and pedro is saying he wants to write stuff but i am writing for both of us and i will just type up things as we say them okay fine pedro you write stuff Before Ben gets too carried away- he’s very tired. More tired than I am- I just wanted to remind everyone about Balthy’s gig later on this morning. He’s performing at 10am. Text him- or me- for details. Be there or be square, or something.76Leavesxoxox benedick hobbes
