On today's show, we'll be checking out the latest apps and showing you | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
how some can be used for good causes. | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
:00:28. | :00:51. | ||
And you have got an invitation to I am en route to the new home of | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
Blue Peter. In true Blue Peter style I am on board a royal Sea | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
King helicopter. I've got to get to the studios, | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
thanks to these guys and and I'm making good progress. This is a | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
:01:21. | :01:33. | ||
Royal Navy Sea King helicopter. It Don't worry about me, Helen. I'm on | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
the way there too except I am on this 260 horsepower jet ski. This | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
thing is as fast as a Ferrari. It is awesome. In fact, I might be | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
there before you are! Not that it is a race or anything! | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:07. | ||
We will be finding out out more about their work, but for now, I | :02:07. | :02:17. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds | :02:17. | :03:15. | |
Welcome to your new home. That was so much fun. We better get | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
changed. Good idea! This is our brand-new | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
home in MediaCity in Salford, Greater Manchester. Overlooked by | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
the Imperial War Museum and Old Trafford, home of Manchester United, | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
Blue Peter has arrived. This area wasn't always this shiny | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
and new. For over 100 years this site was | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
snon as Salford -- known as Salford Docks. It was the third busiest | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
port in the UK. As at its peak it employed 5,000 | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
people and had 200 huge cranes in operation. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
From here everything from textiles to cars were sent around the world | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
on ships, weighing up to 12500 tonnes each. That's as heavy as the | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Eiffel Tower, with around 2,000 elephants on it! | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Industry started to decline in the 1970s and the docks closed in 1982. | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
For 20 years, the area remained unused and unloved. | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
What a huge transformation began in 2007 and here we are, MediaCity. It | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
is one of the biggest studio complexes in all of Europe and now | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
home to some of your favourites, like Football Focus and Match Of | :04:39. | :04:48. | |
Hello. Hello. | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
Welcome to our brand-new home. We are live on BBC One from our new | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
studios, HQ7. This is the launch of a new series | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
and for those of you worried about the dog, you needn't have bothered. | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
He got here before we did. To kick things off for us, Chelsee | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Healey and Pasha Kovalev will be joining us to show us their moves. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
How is your your dancing, Barney? Rubbish. | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
If you are watching live, send us an e-mail and tell us what you | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
think of our new studio. Send us an e-mail because you might | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
see your name on the TV! If you like your gadgets, you will | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
know about a gadget that has had us hooked this year and it is the | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
smartphone. There is a new scheme in schools. It is called Apps for | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Good. It gives you the chance to design your app. But it is an app | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
with a twist. Mobile apps are everywhere. These | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
clever applications can be downloaded to personalise your | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
smartphone or tablet. There are new apps being created all the time. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
There are over 300,000 out there and we're going to show you some of | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
the bestment here is our first top three and where better to start | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
than with what you love doing most, playing games. At three, it is | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
Fruit Ninja, use your finger to slice through the fruit. Addictive | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
and one of the best selling games this year. At two, it is Angry | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
Birds. This app has been downloaded over 300 million times. | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
And at number one, it is Cut The Rope. | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
Feed the cute monster by swiping your finger to release the treats. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
So good, it has won a BAFTA. We will have more later. Smartphones | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
don't have to be used for entertainment. A new scheme is | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
going into schools to help children design smartphone apps. It is about | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
creating apps that help make life better. We have enlisted help. | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
won the race! Miss gadge eth Show herself -- | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
Gadget Show herself, Pollyanna. She has tested all kinds of gadgets, | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
so if she can't spot a good app, no one can. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
We will have to pitch our apps in front of a panel of experts. | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
Hi Barney. Hi gang. This is where we have two teams who | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
play against one another and one wins. | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
Are you ready for an app-off? talk about your app. What is it? | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
is an alarm clock, but with a twist. How is it different from a normal | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
alarm clock? When you set your alarm clock, how do you do it? I | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
set two alarms. If the first one told you need to | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
get up, you are going to lose your job, whatever, put that load on you, | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
would you press the snooze button. Exactly. My team's app is an alarm | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
to get you out of bed by playing a message. If that doesn't work, it | :08:18. | :08:26. | |
gets a friend to call you. Pollyanna's team hit on an issue | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
that could be bigger. We thought bullying was one of the | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
morn issues. -- important issues. We came up with an app that has | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
advice. It is in a fun and comic style. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
That's a great idea. It does affect so many people. It is like, it is | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
it is basically a whole community for people that are suffering from | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
cyber bullying and it is the whole support system and support network | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
for you to get through, I guess, which could be one of the hardest | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
times a lot of people face in their life. | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
:09:10. | :09:13. | ||
Pollyanna's team have come up with 2-the-res-Q. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Time to practise what we will say to the judges. We are acting out | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
the risks of oversleeping. Sorry, one of our team members | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
should be here, but she is late. I think it is all about body language. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
The way you talk. How confident you sound. It is very much like working | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
in TV, but they are doing it to a panel of real human beings who will | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
be reacting as they are talking. I can hear Barney and his team. | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
They seem to be jove jovial. A lot of laughing. I believe their app | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
has that aspect to it. Ready? It is my acting debut. I'm excited. | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
Where were you going? I'm going... Pollyanna's team have got her | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
playing the role of a bully to show the effect it can have. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
How did it go? All right. I think we've got a winning app. | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
you think? Yeah. Are you confident? Yeah. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
I can tell you that you are not going to win. | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
What makes you say that? You should see ours. Ours is good. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
We bring you more of the latest apps and which one of our apps will | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
impress the judges? We have decided that the winner is... You can't | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
stop it there! We will have to wait to later. We | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
will find you the top three apps to make you go "wow.". You looked so | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
cool on that jet ski. That fighting talk, we've got to work on that. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
My My fighting talk is great. Put them up sunshine. | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
We have had lots of letters. Lots of you are writing to us because | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
you care about the environment including me. There is a picture of | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Green Girl who will save the planet and Amber and Joel have been in | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
touch. They made a windmill out of recycled material. Well done, guys. | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
Very cool. This is Heather. She made herself a | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
dress. A load of rubbish. You can't say that, Barney, it is | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
harsh. She made it out of plastic bags and | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
paper. For that you get your own green | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Blue Peter badge. Because so many of you have been in | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
touch telling us you care about the environment. I have been to meet a | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
group of people who do as well. They do something interesting with | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
rubbish. Festivals, attracts people and rubbish, but it doesn't go in | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
the bin. England's green and pleasant land. | :11:52. | :12:01. | |
A picture of beauty, tranquillity and serenity. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
That is is until hundreds of thousands of music lovers descend | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
en masse to enjoy one of the many music festivals held around the UK | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
every year. With tents, sleeping sleeping bags, and food and drink, | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
festival goers spend the days enjoying their favourite bands and | :12:22. | :12:31. | |
the nights camping out nearby. What happens when the party stops? | :12:31. | :12:41. | |
:12:41. | :12:42. | ||
Every year, each festival in the UK is left with an average of over | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
7500 abandoned tents. That's over 80,000 tents chucked away every | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
year. The clear-up is a massive job and this festival in Chelmsford is | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
no exception. Enter Ver ritty and her gang of | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
helpers. They have come up with a way of getting this place spick and | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
span again once the once the 90,000 revellers have gone. This place is | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
disgusting. Is this particularly bad? This bit is good because there | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
is a nice open space that we can walk through without falling over | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
anything. I can't get over the fact that | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
someone has left so much stuff. They have had a full blown camp | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
fire, noodles stuck to the bottom of a pan. You wouldn't do that in | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
real life, why do they do it? have had a great time and they | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
leave everything. They can't be bothered to take it home. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
I cannot believe how many tents are left intact. I thought a few would | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
get left, but over there, there is a field of tents and there is not a | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
soul in them? Where will the tents go? A lot of | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
the time the bags and the instructions are in the tents. So | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
we wrap them up and ship it off and the Rotary sell it and the proceeds | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
from the sales of the tents goes to help charity. | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
It is a case of one man's thrash is another man's treasure? Yeah, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
pretty much. Have you found anybody in a tent | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
asleep who has not left yet? It has happened. Like you open the tent to | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
check if it is OK and there will be someone asleep in there! | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
That is immaculate, isn't it? That doesn't look like it has been slept | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
in. Oh, it lass. It has been slept in. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
The outside is nice, the inside is not. | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
Don't go around the front of that tenth! | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
-- tent. Big tents in good condition are | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
valuable to you guys? Yeah. This looks brilliant, it is good. | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
We can't take this one, but because someone has taken a can and spray | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
painted, we can't take that one. We have got to leave it I am afraid. | :15:01. | :15:10. | |
This is a good one, yeah? I'm going to help. | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Someone has left an actual pair of shoes. They are worth something, | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
aren't they? I am such a hoarder, I would never throw out a pair of | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
shoes like that. That is one tent taken town and | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
this will go in the collection truck and be resold. The tents are | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
packed up and on the van ready to be sold for charity and the gang | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
have finished for the day. Not all of these tents have been | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
abandoned. Some people left them intentionally. They are encouraged | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
to do so because it raises money. I have got to be honest, there is a | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
lot of stuff here that could have been taken home. That's someone's | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
tooth brush and they look in good condition. | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:08. | ||
Those festival goers have a weird diet. There was shampoo and toilet | :16:08. | :16:18. | |
:16:18. | :16:22. | ||
toilet roll in that pan, no wonder Two teams and two apps to pitch to | :16:22. | :16:32. | |
:16:32. | :16:33. | ||
the judges. Claire Vivien from Del, an internet | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
expert and apps dofrl, apps developer, Greg. | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
So what are the judges looking for? The principle in developing apps, | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
they are simple and easy, that you don't need to explain to someone | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
how to do it. We are looking for an app that | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
deals with an issue that young people really care about. Something | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
that affects lots of young people's lives. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
A good sales pitch is one where there are three or four strong | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
messages and no one can leave the sales pitch missing what those | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
three or four strong messages were. So while the judges take their | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
seats, let's check out our next top three most useful apps. | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:32. | ||
At three, it is An app that changes language in front of your eyes. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
And at number one, no more bumping into things. It is the app that | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
uses your phone's camera to help you walk and text at the same time. | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
Wish you luck -- wish us luck. Time to get the pitching underway. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
One of our team should be here, but she is late. Yeah, one of our team | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
has overslept. If only she had been using Buzzer Buddies. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
When you wake-up, you press the snooze button and if someone was | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
there to tell you to to wake up, you would. | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
:18:19. | :18:21. | ||
The pitch went well, or did it? We forgot the power point. | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
That's a good thing. We will see how the next team do. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Pollyanna's team need to convince the judges that the world needs an | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
anti-bullying app. The situation we are addressing | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
today is teenagers not feeling safe in places they are meant to feel | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
safe. Where do you think you're going? | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
School. Have you got any money? | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
:18:54. | :18:56. | ||
Where is your your phone? Teenagesers are -- teenagers in a | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
situation that they don't know who to tell. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
You did a brilliant job. I don't think you could have done any | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
better if you tried. Top for our final three. At three, | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
it is Song Ify. The app that records your voice and turns it | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
into a song. I like this app. At number two, it is Dinosaur Zoo. | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
Annoy the dinosaurs to make them roar. Don't make them too mad or | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
:19:44. | :19:46. | ||
this might happen. Then it is Google Sky Map. But which of our | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
ideas will be turned into an actual app? | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
First of all, I am talking about Buzzer Buddies. We liked that idea. | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
It was a really strong concept. It was nice and original. It has not | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
really been done before. In terms of things we weren't sure about, we | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
were wondering how long it would be used for and how long its life span | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
would be. To the the rescue, we loved the | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
fact that you tackled probably the biggest problem in education. I | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
loved the impact of the of the presentation. It really landedted | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
problem with us and we really understood the issue. | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
:20:35. | :20:50. | ||
We've decided that the winner is... 2-the-res-Q. | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
Con Congratulations. It is all about sportsmanship. | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
I was joking, thank you to Pollyanna and congratulations to | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
the 2-the-res-Q team. Their app has been made and you can download it | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
to your phone. How cool. If you would would like to make | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
your own apps, go and see your teachers and say you would like to | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
sign up for this new scheme called Apps for Good. | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
Thank you for your messages. It is time for our Strictly performance. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
Here is Chelsee Healey and Pasha Kovalev. | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :21:52. | ||
It is Chelsee and Pasha. Thank you for coming in. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Thank you for having us. We have had so many questions in | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
for you. Craig is 12, asks, what is your favourite type of dance, | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
Pasha? Anything which is Latin, fast, quick movement, lots of hips. | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
Thank you. Chelsee, which of the dances do you think you will find | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
the most difficult? The slow ones. I'm not good with slow movement. | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
He likes the fast, quick ones. bet I will be terrible with the | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
fast ones as well. What's the most important thing to | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
remember during dancing? Just enjoying it. Having fun and not | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
worrying about anything, but what you feel at the moment. What do you | :22:41. | :22:51. | |
:22:51. | :22:54. | ||
