15/03/2012 Blue Peter

Coming up on Blue Peter. Anything could happen, dom are here, live in

the studio to give you the inside story on their brand-new show. Ed

digs deep into how you can improve your drawing and cooking doesn't

get tougher than this. I go head- to-head with Aaron Craze, to

discover how to create an eco- friendly feast. How do you know

when a tomato is roasted. Barney Hi. Hello. Thanks very much. How

you doing? Welcome to Blue Peter. It is a live show. As you can see

Helen is not here, so I am save sailing this ship on my own. Not

that I mind, while she is away the boys will play. It is an extreme

show. We have extreme cooking, the extreme Dick and Dom. They are here

to talk about their new show Diddy Movies. They are getting ready,

sorry, a bit of interference there. Hello. I'm Diddy Barney. Who are

you? Diddy Baxter? I am Diddy Celt Celt. And recently I have been to

the South Pole. Really? I had to poo in a bag and wait for it to

freeze, then I put it in my pocket. You know what, smells like it is

starting to thaw out. Do you want to have a look. It is thawing out.

It smells like lemons. I have never seen our producer looking so

nervous. Dick and Dom are live in the studio. If you would like to

ask them a question, you can. In is live. This is happening right now.

We would like do you ask them any question you like.

[email protected]. The crazier the better. Only e-mail if you are

watching this on Thursday. Now, we like to give you the inside story

here, and we know you love to draw. How cool would it be to draw for

the most amazing stories round the country? We found out that Ed also

happens to be a bit of a cartoonist, so we sent him to get top tips from

the expert. I love reading. And I love drawing even more. If you ask

me, some of the best books are made better by the illustrations inside

them. So I have brought a pad, a pen, and a short story I have

written to this school where I will get some tips from a top children's

illustrator. This is Corky Paul. He has been illustrating children's

books for over 30 years. In that time he has drawn everything there

is to draw, including witch, dragons and pirates. He is really

good. He is here to give the children some tips on how to draw

their characters. I have tagged along to see if I can pick up

advice. Let us see, who shall we draw a dinosaur portrait of? Come

on up Ed. Don't make my nose look too big. By exaggerating my

features, he can turn me into a comedy dinosaur. I was captain of

the cross-country team. My feet aren't that big! A bit of yellow in

there. A bit of grass. Look at that! I have just about forgiven

you for turning me into an ugly dinosaur. I think you look handsome.

I wonder if you could help me illustrate this story. It is about

a handsome and talented TV presenter. It is not based on

anyone in reality! He is training a snail. He takes him to Paris to

show him how much he believes in him. He doesn't realise snails

areadelica si in France. That is when he sprints off down the road

and he becomes the fastest snail in the world. Where do you start?

have to have your text and pictures work together. My first thing, I

would think, Ned, I have to draw a picture of Ned here. So let us see,

what will he look like. A very handsome guy. Very handsome. Let us

see now. Do I do handsome guys? Yes, I can do handsome. So there are so

many things you need to be an illustrator. What is the most

important? The most important, I think, is using your imagination, I

mean lots of people can draw, but it is being able to create your own

vision of the world. He is looking glum. He is poor. He is poor. He

keeps spending on training this snail. Exactly. He can't afford

haircuts. You work out the character. This is what I love in

illustration, when your eye is drawn to something that wasn't in

the story. You think a what is that doing there. The other character,

the snail. Harold the snail. You think about a snail. There are

snails with incredible patterns. Every time you draw a scene. Think

of how can I draw the scene in an unusual way, rather than front on.

We have a kid looking up at something. You want to have the

kid's view. Don't do the most obvious thing. I think that is good

already. I use the pen and ink, and maybe we will improve the drawing a

bit here. Some 06 the tips are suprising, he has given me loads of

ideas for my own drawings. Tink is still wet. Are you I am doing that

on purpose? When you try to make a negative into a positive, rather

than trying to hide it. You can make a big old mess and say I meant

to do that. Can't believe the speed you work out, these are great.

know, when you have a deadline to meet. I was hoping I could take

them away for inspiration. Please do. I will try and illustrate my

own story myself. Read the text and draw and try and add something to

the text. I will try and do it justice. Well done. The characters

have inspired me to finish illustrating my story. If you want

to read the final story, just head to the Blue Peter website. And that

address is: Take a look at these. You should recognise them as book

tokens, you will have been given them as part of World Book Day, if

you still have them you only have until the end of this month to get

them spent. Still to come: Dick and Dom will be here, they are taking

about their new show and they have a Blue Peter challenge to complete.

You won't want to miss it. This week is climate week which means we

are raising awareness for environmental issue, the food we

eat can sometimes be harmful for the planet. Before the food hits

the shelve, there is a process, it has been packaged and transported,

sometimes a long way, this can create gases like carbon dioxide,

which are harmful for the planet. So the question is, is it possible

to create an environment live friendly meal that is good for the

planet? Myself and Aaron Craze were set a Blue Peter challenge to find

out and it all happened in this telly. It is a culinary clash never

before seen on UK television. Blue Peter presenter and amateur cook

Barney Harwood, is going head-to- head, against Aaron Craze, host of

Junior Bake Off and a very good chef indeed. Their mission, to

create the tastiest meal they can, but using the lowest carbon. Barney

Rubble, you're in trouble. I am feeling confident. They will have

30 minutes to impress the judges. Cooking doesn't get more

environmentally-friendly than this. Before we can let the rivals into

the kitchen, they need to source the ingredients for their final

plate of food. First to take to the supermarket is Barney Harwood. He

knows exactly what is on his menu. I am going for fish, chips and

mushy peace. It has to be low in carbon. Potatoes come out of the

ground and fish comes out the sea and peas grow on pea trees! So the

most low carbon male you have heard of. These are British white

potatoes, they are good for my dish and the planet. The most carbon

efficient veg are those grown in season on home soil. They have the

least far to travel, meaning less fuel is burned. So British spuds

are a good choice Barney. But as it happens not all veg are good for

the climate. At certain times of the year some more exotic veg can't

grow in the UK. This means they have to be flown over from other

country, to get them on to the supermarket shelves while they are

stel fresh. Since fuel from planes creates carbon dioxide, it is not

good for the environment. Meanwhile opponent and top chef Aaron Craze

has decided on his menu. I am going to do a stir-fry. First I will need

chicken. I have come to this aisle where you have mini fillets and

they are perfect. I don't think it is going to travel too far. Can't

get more British than that flag. meat is carbon free but at least

Aaron has chosen chicken instead of beef or lamb. They are both higher

in carbon for a reason you might not expect. When cows and sheep

burp they give off methane which is involved in global warming. Some

say if we ate less beef and lamb there would be less damage to the

environment. So this extreme low carbon challenge isn't as

straightforward as they first thought. Barney has chosen to cook

fish and chips in the hope that local ingredients equal planet

friendly. An Aaron has gone oriental with a chicken stir-fry

since he showed British chicken has a low carbon footprint. Because I

am making my own batter, I am going to need my milk. How much carbon

can yourself you use doing that? Cows equal methane. Six large eggs,

in one piece. Beautiful. It is a small mistake for Aaron. The

British eggs haven't travelled bar but nay have minimal packaging.

Will Harwood make the same mistake with his home-made ketchup?

process of making pacts probably use more energy so that might mean

things in pacts are -- packets are less carbon efficient. Let us go

without packets. Well done Barney, they are British and low in

packaging but this isn't as easy as it might seem. It is not tomato

season, so to get in in March they have to be grown under hot lamps

and that burns energy. Supermarket shopping over, both contenders have

avoided processed foods, so there is everything still to play for,

but what has Aaron chosen for his final ingredient. I have the best

kept secret in London. Right in the middle of the city on top of an

organic supermarket. An urban roof garden. You don't get lower carbon

than this. Growing veg locally in season means you can pick them

fresh and they haven't travelled any distance at all. I have nice

kale. These are early so they are tender. So they might nice. With

With superfresh veg like that Aaron could have the edge. But wait a

minute, what is Barney up to now? am at the fish market in London.

This is the largest selection of fish you will find in the country.

All I need to do is find a nice fish I can put a batter on. So long

as you choose carefully. Fish are lower carbon since they doesn't

burp methane but some are being over harvested. There is lots of

whiting. Better still whiting can be caught close to home in the

North Sea, so top markets for another low carbon choice.

Beautiful. It S you are bang on Barney, that is lovely. I have a

big one here. You sold it so well I am going to go for the whiting.

it. I can't get it out. Oh. Oh! Thank you very much. I am sure I

have got the lowest carbon environmentally-friendly fish in

here, they are really tasty. All I have to do is cook them. I am over

the moon with this box of treasures, there is so much to play with and

it will be fantastic for my stir- fry. Barney, you a lot of work to

do mate. Still to come. It is egg whisks at dawn as the competition

hoth hots up. Who will be crowned the low carbon king of the kitchen?

Stay tuned. I know who woifpbs course because I was there, you

will are to stay tuned. Two people who are full of suprises and I am

delighted to welcome them to the studio, it is Dick and Dom. Hello.

Good to see you. Mind out dear. Mind out. How are you mate? No time

for that. Why you here? You have a new show, we normally see you as

the Diddys. You are used to seeing the Diddy Dick and Dom in a pink

cupboard. Now eventually, Diddy Dick and Dom have come out of their

cupboard and are Hollywood movie stars. Do they get the perks, in

the girl friends, the house? any of that. I have a little friend

here. We reenact many movie, we do a space film, a murder mystery film.

We do the lot. So what happens, Diddy Dick and Dom on each episode

turn up and go and watch the premier of their brand-new movie.

We can show you a great clip. Have a look. Rb your nearest emergency

exit maybe inside you. In the vent of us getting bored, sponge cakes

will descend from above. And remember, to never ever press this

Argh! Oh no. It is a disaster. Please, no more. The legends. It

looks like so much fun to film. Ted Robins is involved. He becomes our

agent. He gives us the money to fund the films. It was a good

experience, we did it a different way, we used to do it our heads

with puppet body, but this way, now what we do is have our body bus

they super impose our heads so we look huge. We had to wear hot suits.

So special effects which all movies have, and you have a great theme

tune. We do. In homage to the best BLUE PETER THEME What a lovely

reenactment it was. Those are the actual words for the theme tune.

Now of course this makes you experts at all things Diddy. It is

sometimes hard when you look at the TV or watch stars to tell how tall

they are. It is that trick of the camera we have devised a game to

see if you can tell all things Diddy from all things biggie.

love a game. In that case it is time to play Who's The Diddy? As

you can see, on the board here we have six celebrity faces, honestly.

We have Robin Williams, we have Dominic Wood, Reece Witherspoon.

David Hasselhoff, the hof. We can have Richard mechanic Court.

that really me? We have Tom Cruise, if you look behind you you will see

some bodies with heights on. We would like do you match the

celebrity face with the body. You will have 45 seconds to do it and

your time starts now: Second to last. Five foot five? You are

smaller than that. Tom Cruise. Little man. She is lovely.

think she is tall? How tall are you. I'm a big one. We have done it

before time. That is the end of the game. I was about to fill five

seconds in a professional mode. Here we have Tom Cruise who you

thought was 5'two. That should have been Reece Witherspoon. Dominic you

thought you were 5'5". I know I am. You thought Rees wither spoon was

5'7". Richard McCourt, six foot four, no, he is not. You have got

one two, three, just two right. Which isn't bad. I blame him.

the meantime let us find out who wins the eco-food challenge, myself

or the professional chef. You will be suprised. Previously in our

culinary clash these two eco- warriors prepared for their kitchen

battle. Barney has chosen to cook fish and chips with peas and kuch

up and Aaron has planned a chicken stir-fry with superfresh veg and

noodles. Now it is time for them to conjure up their eco-meals for two

of the toughest judges in town. Freya was winner of the junior bake

off but this time it is her turn to do the tasting. What I am looking

for is a clean worktop and great output. Joining her to judge will

be Mike, an expert in eco-friendly eating. He never fails to stop a

high carbon food. I will be looking for seasonal redge stable --

vegetables and not too much packaging. They will look for the

most eco-friendly meal they can make. You have 35 minutes to knock

up the meal of your choice. time starts now. I am feeling

confident. I think everyone loves fish and chips, don't they. There

is your key word. Fish, I reckon that is as low carbon as it gets ch

Mine is carbon free. A box of veg. Less talking more cooking boys!

First up for Barney is the ketchup. I am going to roast these. Aaron is

pressing on with his noodles. it a good old fold and squash it

back through the machine. Until it is like leather. They will roast

for about 20 minutes. I want it nice and thin. Here we go. Go down

one step at a time. With his ketchup under way Barney added mint

and butt tore the peas as he prepares to pulp them. Time to mush

them with my whizzy musher. Oh yeah. As ar rop preps the veg and chicken,

he seems confident of a win. Barney Rubble, you're in trouble. How do

you know when a tomato is roasted? Our chefs are making good proguess

but what do the judges think? like the idea of the stir-fry but

the fish and chips sounds good. Do you think the ingredients are eco-

friendly. I am worried about the amount of chicken Aaron has put in

and about Barney's tomatoes. Barney, you only have five minutes left.

Ass in half of ten minutes, as in three minutes more than two. You

better crack on with it. I will Tomato sauce is pretty much done.

That is it. Have I forgotten anything? Your fish Barney.

only have one minute left. What you doing to us Freya? Aaron is nearly

finished. A bit of juice going. for the fish. It looks like Barney

could be in for a battering. Fantastic. That is nearly done.

That is ready. Here we go. Fish is ready. Times up guys, stop cooking

now. Oh dear. Come on Barney! done. Beautiful. It is a good job

in isn't judged on presentation. Fish and chips! So Barney has made

a low carbon fish and chips with home-made ketchup and mushy peas

which looks suprisingly professional. Aaron has plated up a

stir-fry with noodles made from scratch. He has used the freshest

veg in town. The question is, whose dish is the best for the planet and

the taste buds. Lovely low carbon seasonal veg. Pasta is made very

nicely. That is another fine low carbon food. I think I done well,

and I am confident I am going to win. And this is a local sea fish.

According to the guy at the market. Great carbon credentials. Chips are

nice. Aren't they. I like to think I could win. I am up against a

professional chef who is better looking than a I am. Let us talk

about taste. Although Barney's fish was crumbly I loved the batter.

thought the fish was a really good low carbon choice, but I am a bit

more bothered about the tomatoes. thought Aaron's was very nice and I

loved the kick of chilli. He could have done better on the chicken.

Two great dishes but we can only pick one. Are you thinking what I'm

thinking? I think I might be. with the decision made it is time

for the judges to announce the overall winner. OK guys, we have

come to a decision. Our eco- champion is... Aaron. The judges

decided that Aaron's stir-fry was the tastiest, and in spite of the

chicken his low carbon veg and noodles made it the lowest carbon

meal. Well done mate. I won it! Yeah, I won it. I know. I know. He

is all right. Not crying or nothing. I have to say the best man won. His

food was amazing. I want to get through the e-mails, we have had

the most amount of e-mails. Eleanor says if you could have a superpower

what would it be and why? The power to double our wages. Yeah. That

would be nice. Amy say what is the the weirdest thing you've eaten.

His food. Vegetarian food. This one says who is the funniest. He is.

Ben says how you so funny. We have a good producer who tells us what

to say. Chelsea says do you still play bogies. No, we hate it.

love it. That is what I meant. you remember that restaurant we

were in. They started playing bogies while we were in a posh

restaurant. How long you known each other for? 1997. How did you start

as a presenter. I started making the tea. I started my own show.

Everybody has started straightening their hair. Dick and Dom, legends:

Let us talk about next week's show. We have a Harry Potter special. Not

only will we be on the set, we will show you round, doing the tour and

you will see the special effects and you love them, JLS will perform

on the show. If you want to ask them questions, go to the message

board and we will try our hardest to ask as many as we can, so many
