Today's show is seriously scary, as we've got Naomi from Nightmares of

:00:10.:00:17.

Nature. We are also making some scary monsters out of these socks.

:00:18.:00:20.

Lindsey ran the marathon in them. Hello. Welcome to a spooky, scary

:00:21.:00:48.

blue BT. It is Halloween on Saturday. We are getting excited and

:00:49.:00:52.

dressing up the studio to look like it. Those ghostly balls are my

:00:53.:00:58.

favourite. If you like fear, I had a lot of it in my new Blue Peter

:00:59.:01:03.

challenge with a Olympic legend. You will see him in just a second. I got

:01:04.:01:08.

invited to Parliament to turn back the hands on one of the best, most

:01:09.:01:13.

famous monuments in the world. It was brilliant. I will turn back time

:01:14.:01:19.

later. I will also be showing you sound to make -- how to make your

:01:20.:01:24.

own sock monster. It is Halloween this weekend. What are you doing?

:01:25.:01:29.

Are you getting dressed up and putting on something scary? Tell us

:01:30.:01:33.

about it. Get in touch and we will try and read your e-mail out later.

:01:34.:01:38.

Lindsey isn't here. She is in Canada. She's back next week but she

:01:39.:01:42.

has hooked us up with the queen of all things scary when it comes to

:01:43.:01:47.

animals. This lady hosts Nightmares of Nature. She has stared down a

:01:48.:01:52.

jaguar, and she has swam with sharks. Please welcome Naomi

:01:53.:01:59.

Wilkinson. Hello. I'm excited to be here. Let's talk about your third

:02:00.:02:06.

series. It is fantastic. You have met some scary animals. Tell us

:02:07.:02:12.

about them. I have had some scary encounters. I got in the water with

:02:13.:02:17.

Wales sharks. It is the biggest shock in the world. -- whale sharks.

:02:18.:02:25.

I breathed into waking cobra's mouth through a tiny bit of straw. That

:02:26.:02:30.

was waking it up after health checks. We found this on a beach in

:02:31.:02:35.

Pembrokeshire, it is a ragworm. I don't like it. It is quite creepy,

:02:36.:02:42.

but it is not harmful at all. Your fear knows no bounds. Does yours? I

:02:43.:02:49.

don't want to go there. I'm going to play a game with you. You are going

:02:50.:02:54.

to love it. We are calling it Fear or Fake. Come and play. Step this

:02:55.:03:02.

way, take your positions on the petrifying podium. You are such a

:03:03.:03:06.

good presenter, Naomi. You are going to love this, not a lot. You have to

:03:07.:03:12.

try and guess the Halloween horror I am describing to you. The first

:03:13.:03:19.

person to buzz and get it correctly gets to nominate their opponent to

:03:20.:03:24.

put their hand into either box A or box B. In one of the boxes is a real

:03:25.:03:30.

scary animal. The other one is fake. Are you prepared? I am up for this,

:03:31.:03:37.

Naomi. You are going to love it. The overall loser will have a forfeit.

:03:38.:03:42.

Halloween horror number one. This fearsome creature has heat-seeking

:03:43.:03:54.

vision. Bat? Incorrect. It's their snake. It is! Which box do you want

:03:55.:04:05.

him to put his hand in? I would like him to put his hand in box A. It is

:04:06.:04:15.

so nice not to be me for a change. Put your hand in gently. Take it

:04:16.:04:20.

steady. Write down inside. Feel around. Fear or fake? Fear. That is

:04:21.:04:36.

fear correct. That is corn snakes. That was a mistake! Halloween horror

:04:37.:04:41.

number two. These creatures have no arms or legs. Another clue? A worm?

:04:42.:04:54.

No. They act as nature's recyclers, raking down rotten animals. Another

:04:55.:04:59.

clue? You both look clueless. They turn into flies. This is rubbish.

:05:00.:05:10.

Maggots. Well done, it is. Which box would you like him to put his hand

:05:11.:05:19.

in? I am thinking box B. Radzi, just to remind you, you have no idea. We

:05:20.:05:23.

genuinely don't know what is going on. Oh, no! What is it? What is it?

:05:24.:05:42.

Fear or fake? Oh, no! It's real! You are doing very well so far. Under

:05:43.:05:49.

number three. It was maggots. These creatures are powerful jumpers.

:05:50.:05:59.

Kangaroo. No, it's not. They have spikes on their abdomen which they

:06:00.:06:07.

use as a weapon. Starfish. No. I will give you another clue. They

:06:08.:06:11.

share their name with a popular sport. How's that? Cricket! Yes!

:06:12.:06:29.

Well done, Radzi. Which one? Box A. No, box B. Nothing to worry about at

:06:30.:06:37.

all, Barney. Nothing to worry about at all. I don't like that! That is

:06:38.:06:54.

fear, without a doubt. It is, correct. Those are crickets. They

:06:55.:07:00.

are horrible! They are actually in both boxes. Who is our ultimate

:07:01.:07:07.

loser? Barney, sorry. Well done, Radzi. That was actually OK. Thank

:07:08.:07:14.

you for being here. Always good to have you on the show. Don't relax

:07:15.:07:20.

too much. He scary animals haven't gone just yet. As the ultimate

:07:21.:07:27.

loser, Barney, you have to introduce the next part of the show holding my

:07:28.:07:31.

friend, Charlotte, who is a tarantula. Don't drop her. Oh, my

:07:32.:07:40.

giddy aunt! Your hands are solid as a rock. Aren't they just? If you

:07:41.:07:47.

want to see more from Naomi, we don't, but if you do, go to the

:07:48.:07:52.

website. Did you enjoy your extra hour in bed on Sunday? I did that,

:07:53.:07:58.

honestly. Are you struggling to concentrate? No, I'm fine! Time is

:07:59.:08:06.

constantly ticking, isn't it. We use it to organise our lives. It keeps

:08:07.:08:11.

us all in sync. Sometimes it lets us know when we are late to school. If

:08:12.:08:16.

I'm going to talk about time, I'm going to need a clock, but not just

:08:17.:08:22.

any old clock. I've gone to see the most famous clock in the world. Oh,

:08:23.:08:29.

yes! We've been invited to Parliament to help with a very

:08:30.:08:33.

special task, the changing of the clocks. Taking me through each stage

:08:34.:08:38.

in the process are the clock mechanics, Ian, Hugh and Paul. All

:08:39.:08:43.

the work happens at the top, which means climbing 334 steps. This is

:08:44.:08:49.

one of those times when you have two speed be filled up. I am climbing

:08:50.:08:55.

Elisabeth tower. The name Big Ben refers to the bell. Why do we change

:08:56.:09:01.

the clocks? To explain, we have to go into space. The earth is tilted

:09:02.:09:06.

as it orbits the sun. In the summer, we have longer days as we are facing

:09:07.:09:10.

the sun. In the winter, the days are short because we are facing away. A

:09:11.:09:16.

British builder called William Willis first suggested changing the

:09:17.:09:20.

clocks in 1907, to make the most of daylight hours. I am finally here.

:09:21.:09:30.

This is the great clock of Westminster. Look at that! It may

:09:31.:09:36.

not look like the clocks you have at home, but this mechanism turns the

:09:37.:09:41.

hands on the clock face. It weighs 4.5 tonnes, the same as a fully

:09:42.:09:45.

grown elephant! We know that Big Ben is the sound that you here, but the

:09:46.:09:51.

bit you recognise is the clock face. We are behind it. It is massive.

:09:52.:09:58.

Seven metres across. This is the inspection hat. We can look and make

:09:59.:10:04.

sure no panes of glass are broken. I think we should inspect the outside

:10:05.:10:08.

while we are here. A lovely view of London. There is the camera crew,

:10:09.:10:16.

Hallo! We can't get the camera out there to show you what the view is

:10:17.:10:21.

like, but I have a little camera to show you just the job. Look out

:10:22.:10:26.

here! That is me hanging out of this massive monument in London. Isn't it

:10:27.:10:32.

beautiful? Enough dangling out of this world famous building, I've got

:10:33.:10:37.

a job to do. First, turning the lights off. This takes place just

:10:38.:10:41.

after 10pm and it allows the team to change the time without anybody

:10:42.:10:50.

outside noticing. South, west... You have switched off the lights. And we

:10:51.:10:55.

can now switch off the -- set the clock. This is the piece of

:10:56.:11:00.

equipment we have to use. Nice and tight. That isn't going anywhere.

:11:01.:11:11.

That isn't going to make a noise. We Big Ben silenced, we can change the

:11:12.:11:17.

time. Unlock it -- unlike a clock at home, this mechanism can only go

:11:18.:11:22.

forward. We have to move it on until exactly midnight where it will be

:11:23.:11:28.

held until real catches up. Ready? Ready. What is happening outside is,

:11:29.:11:36.

in complete darkness, you will see the silhouette of the hands moving

:11:37.:11:40.

round. Time flies when you're having fun. Bang on! There you have it,

:11:41.:11:49.

midnight. The night is chosen to allow for several hours of

:11:50.:11:53.

maintenance to take place. And one of the most important jobs, winding

:11:54.:11:58.

the clock. Years ago, my grandma had a watch with a wheel on the site you

:11:59.:12:01.

would wind up and the energy would give you power so it would keep

:12:02.:12:06.

working. This doesn't have batteries so we effectively have two wind it

:12:07.:12:13.

up. We do. You have to do 120 to make it last three days. Harder!

:12:14.:12:19.

That
