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.
:02:17.: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.

think makes a great a great Strictly Dancer? Shall we show them.

:22:54.:22:58.

We will do some salsa. We do it on Strictly all the time. Are you

:22:58.:23:03.

ready to learn? Get your left foot ready to go.

:23:03.:23:07.

Step forward and bring it back to your right. Now take your right and

:23:07.:23:13.

step back. Don't rush. The left step back. Don't rush. The left

:23:13.:23:21.

goes forward. Yes, let's speed it up a little bit.

:23:21.:23:26.

Left, right back. Speed it up. Yes. Arms going,

:23:26.:23:36.
:23:36.:23:38.

that's nice. Even faster. Good. Take the left

:23:38.:23:43.

foot to the left. Close together, right to the right. Close together.

:23:43.:23:53.
:23:53.:23:59.

Yes! Left. Right. Let's do it together.

:23:59.:24:06.

See how I hold my partner? A little bit higher.

:24:06.:24:16.

Nice. Start with the basic. Speed it up.

:24:16.:24:26.
:24:26.:24:32.

Keep going. You're missing this one.

:24:32.:24:39.

Not a chance. While these two have a showdown,

:24:39.:24:45.

why don't we find out what is coming up on tomorrow's show. If

:24:45.:24:49.

you went to -- want to get involved in the Blue Peter appeal, you need
