World Records & Flying High! Blue Peter

-Go on, Son!

-Come on, pass the ball, Pass the ball!

-Whoa!

-What's happening?

-Come on.

-Barns!

-It's not me!

Hey, you two! Never mind watching football.

We've got a world champion football freestyler on the show - now!

That sounds cool. Let's go!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello! Welcome to live Blue Peter.

It's very live and we're excited,

-so excited, we've got a horn for Lindsey's return!

-Yeah!

-So we're all three of us back together!

-We are.

Let's have a little cuddle! The BP team.

There is so much coming up on today's show.

I'm going to start off with the RAF, the best of the best,

and I was involved in a flight fit for a queen.

Find out how I get on when I learn to scratch with the legend that is

DJ Mr Switch. That was a performance with the BBC Philharmonic.

-It's very cool.

-Whoa! That was loud!

RADZI HONKS HORN

Oh, that was not that loud(!)

I am celebrating the fact I'm over the moon.

Because the Euros have started! England played Wales,

what a match that was! Northern Ireland are playing right now,

-so I've got a question for you.

-Oh, yeah?

If you could have a kick-about with anybody, who would it be and why?

Jump online and we'll read out as many

comments as we can at the end of the show.

And just to get us into the footy spirit,

we are joined by CBBC's very own Jamie Johnson star, it's Louis Dunn

-and as well as that, the author, Dan Freedman. Hello!

-Hello!

Very showbiz waves. Thank you very much, boys.

Now though, you're about to see something very, very special.

-Do you want to see something special?

-No, stop it.

-Don't bother.

It's time to welcome the current freestyle Football Federation champion,

this boy's incredible, Andrew Henderson!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Yes!

-Whoa!

Look at him go.

-ALL: Whoo!

-I taught him that!

-Round the world!

-Round the world, there he is.

-Behave yourself.

-What?!

-Whoo!

-Oh, my goodness.

He's showing off now!

Beautiful control. Yay!

Now you're just showing off. That was awesome.

Andrew, amazing, thank you for coming into the studio.

You haven't just started doing this, you've been doing it for a while?

Yes, I've been doing it for ten years.

-Yes, you have to do things a long time to get good, don't you?

-Yes.

So somebody watching who might want to have a go themselves, what would you say?

-All you need is a ball, simple as that.

-Certainly helps.

Then try and learn the tricks and there's a new skills app

-that's just about to come out, it's launching this summer.

-Amazing.

-Do you find that just as you're out of breath, somebody always asks you questions?

-Yes!

So let's talk about why you're here today. It's for something very special, isn't it?

You are actually here to set, not break, but set a Guinness world record?

And that is by doing ten Maradona sevens in under a minute.

-So let's talk about the Maradona seven, what is that?

-Yeah, it's difficult.

So it's about kicking the ball with your left foot then your

right foot, left knee, right knee, shoulder, shoulder, then head.

Seven touches to the ball and that's ten.

-Ten times? In under a minute?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Well, I mean, we can prove how hard this is.

Radzi is going to demonstrate now what a Maradona seven should look like.

-This really is difficult.

-OK, one, two, and then three... SMASH!!

Oh! That was definitely the expensive one.

So sorry! Um, OK, Andrew? For now, thank you very much.

Get practising, can't wait to see you later!

Radzi, you're in so much trouble. So much trouble.

No-one noticed! I'm going to move on.

So let's rewind to Saturday, when I got to celebrate

the birthday of somebody rather special indeed. Sorry!

Trooping the Colour,

the official celebration of the Queen's birthday.

Every year, thousands gather around Buckingham Palace to see

Her Majesty's armed forces put on a spectacular parade.

And this year marks the Queen's 90th birthday,

so the celebrations are extra special.

But while the streets around the palace are filled with colour,

for the most breathtaking moment, you've got to look to the skies.

It's tradition that every year,

when the royal family make their way out on to the balcony of

Buckingham Palace, they're greeted by a Royal Air Force fly-past.

It is a mammoth operation

and it takes a huge amount of planning and skill.

And some pretty impressive aircraft.

The 2016 Queen's Fly-past is made up of 29 of the finest in the

RAF's fleet, specially assembled for the Queen's 90th birthday.

In wave seven, just in front of the world famous Red Arrows,

is the A330 Voyager.

In fact, it'll be this A330 Voyager!

And it's quite a plane.

The Voyager is the largest aircraft the RAF has ever operated.

Fully loaded, it can travel over 6,000 miles

and do anything from carry cargo, passengers

and even be a flying petrol station, refuelling other planes in mid air!

But why am I stood underneath this,

rather than the other 28 aircraft involved in the Queen's Fly-past?

Well, that's because I'm going to be on board this one! Yes!

That's right.

The RAF have given Blue Peter the exclusive opportunity to be on

board the Voyager's flight deck as it travels over Buckingham palace.

And guess what - you're coming along for the ride too!

Making sure the planes stay bang on time is the job

of Flight Sergeant Paul Riley, the mission's systems operator.

Flight Sergeant Paul Riley, lovely to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Radzi.

I would love to be a part of it and possibly try and help out.

Is there anything I can do?

We're thinking about letting you do some of the timing,

so what I'd like you to do is you're going to check a couple of way

points to make sure we are on time.

After meeting up, the planes will fly a pre-planned route to the

Palace, which has markers called way points.

By logging when the planes fly over each way point, Flight

Sergeant Riley can tell exactly if we're on schedule or if we're not.

And if I am late, what will happen then?

-No options of being late. We've got to be on time.

-OK.

The big day has finally arrived

and celebrations are about to get under way,

hosted by BBC's Huw Edwards.

We'll be enjoying all the day's events,

culminating in a spectacular birthday fly-past at one o'clock.

And at RAF Brize Norton, it's time to get ready to fly!

MUSIC: TOP GUN THEME

Probably just... Just leave these.

MUSIC: TOP GUN THEME

Being on the flight deck for take off is incredible,

but there's no time for sightseeing.

Straight away, the team get down to work.

I've got to keep my voice a little bit down cos there's a lot

going on here. So we're at the very first phase of the flight,

which is where we actually go round in circles, and that's to get the

timing right, so that when we begin our journey, we are spot on time.

Keeping the Queen waiting is simply not an option.

The fly-past has to be over Buckingham Palace within just

a ten second window.

And there's another reason we have to stay on schedule.

We've got friends to meet.

Right next to our plane are Typhoons.

They've just arrived.

The Typhoons are the first to get into formation.

Gradually everyone else in the fly-past falls into place,

which we can see just up ahead.

So far, so good.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the crowds have gathered

and the royal family are coming out on to the balcony.

So, the Queen and the Duke smiling and greeting the crowds.

Everyone waiting patiently.

And through the haze, you can see the skyline of London.

This has just got real.

We hit the outskirts of the city, travelling at over 300mph,

less than 1,000ft from the ground.

There's simply no room for error.

40 seconds to go. 40 seconds to get this right.

The first planes from the fly-past arrive.

There'll be a big round of applause when people see the Spitfire

and the Hurricane.

I think I can see Buckingham Palace.

The great big Voyager, 200ft long.

We've done it! Flying over the Palace, bang on time.

And to top it off, the world famous Red Arrows.

Happy birthday, Your Majesty.

-Wow!

-That was one of THE best experiences of my life.

Thank you so much to Ten Squadron, 101 Squadron

and all of the RAF for quite frankly just being the best.

-I've got goose bumps. So good.

-So did I.

Now, let's talk about the new series on CBBC called Jamie Johnson.

It's about football and it's about growing up. Take a look at this.

Come on!

-Foul, sir!

-Sir, that's a foul!

No foul.

Play on.

Come on!

Have you seen the skills of those guys?

-Those slow-mo shots, they look amazing.

-Off the chart.

Please welcome the author of Jamie Johnson, Dan Freedman,

-and star of the show, Louis Dunn.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

-Hello. Welcome to the show.

-Guys, this show is so much up my alley.

It is unbelievable.

For those of you who haven't seen it, what is it about?

The show's about a kid who wants to be the best

footballer in the world, at the same time he's got to grow up.

You left a sort of cliff-hanger there.

It's been on CBBC Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

and you can still catch it on the iPlayer kids app, which is

awesome, so go and catch up, if you haven't. Louis, let's chat to you.

You are the star of the show. You look awesome in those slow-mo shots.

You know it, don't you? Yeah, it looks pretty cool!

Tell us a little bit about it cos your teacher actually put you up

for the audition, didn't she?

And is it football or acting you prefer now?

Yeah, my form teacher, Miss Connor,

told me about the open auditions cos she knew I loved football.

I didn't really expect to get it. I think I love football more.

You've got to go with football.

You can always act later when they make a film about your life.

Talking about football, you met two icons of the game.

-Tell us about that.

-Yeah, Gary Lineker and Ruud Gullit.

I just watched him ever since I was a kid on Match Of The Day

and then just to meet them was weird.

-I love it.

-I bet that was an amazing moment.

And what about for you, Dan, sat next to Louis now,

who plays your character, Jamie Johnson. Is it how you imagined it?

I've written this series of books

and Jamie has been in my head for all these years and yeah,

thanks to Louis, for bringing it alive and making Jamie real.

You're awesome and there's another series coming out,

which we're excited about, so we'll be tuning in.

-Absolutely. Now, we have to stand up at this point.

-Uh-oh.

-Linds, there's a ball.

-Oh, no.

-Louis, there is a ball.

All show, we've been talking about the Maradona 7, the world

record attempt which Andrew will be doing very shortly,

but we haven't actually demonstrated it.

Andrew, if you'd like to come back on show, my friend,

and just show us how it's done. This is the Maradona 7.

Oh, wow! Oh, this is easy.

-Five, six, seven.

-So smooth.

-OK, Louis. Shall we do it?

-Louis and Linds together?

-Let's do this.

On three then, guys. One, two, three.

Linds got one.

Oh, there he goes!

Great!

-Amazing!

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

That is why he is the star of the show. Thank you

so much for coming on to the show, Louis, as well as yourself, Dan.

-Big round of applause.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Now, from one CBBC show to another, my brand-new show,

Taking The Next Start...Step, started this week.

If you want to know more about the title, which I just said wrong,

-check it out.

-I want to see it!

Yes!

One chance of a lifetime.

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you want to take the next step?

20.

1,300 dancers applied.

Three judges to convince.

-Who is your favourite character?

-I really love Emily.

-Eldon.

-Giselle.

Only one UK dancer will be joining us on The Next Step.

Don't miss any of the drama.

There is so much drama and if you want to see what

happens in episode two, check this out, it's awesome.

-Sneak peek.

-I am definitely the best dancer.

-Well...

I've been doing it longer. I've been doing it for ten years.

Well, I've just got natural talent.

These guys all believe that they've got the moves.

But there's only one set of opinions that really count

and Rhian is just minutes away from hearing them.

I guess if she gets through, there's more pressure on us.

-Are you excited to perform today?

-Yeah, I'm really excited.

The floor is yours.

How good does that look? We're auditioning here.

If you want to see what happens,

it is so exciting, make sure you tune in Mondays at 4:30.

-What's that show called again?

-Taking The Next Step.

-Wicked!

-Can't wait to see it.

-I forgot the title! Sorry.

Now, feast your eyes on the Big Badge Wall,

where flying is officially trending and none more

so than Florence in Cambridge who sent in this amazing picture.

Here we have Lindsey. There's me with my Afro.

That is even flying as well. And Shelley is going, "Wee!"

For once, my hair looks as cool as yours.

It never does, but we've got flying post.

Another one that looks cool is this one from Hugo.

He is ten and from London. Check it out.

I'm kind of doing a very cool stance, as I do my anti-gravity

flying there. You can see the badge floating about.

You've earned yourself a blue badge, my friend. Well done you.

Something else that's been trending is my comeback

performance last week and my blond 'do.

Look at this! This is Thomas who has designed this.

-I guess I'm in puppet form here.

-You look amazing.

Lovely, Feeding The Fish outfit on. And my big quiff at the top.

Thomas, you are a genius. Hermione has sent the whole performance in.

Here you can see Feeding The Fish, standing there, dancing without me.

And then somebody appeared in the middle at the end. It was me!

Thank you for sending us your stuff. You get a Blue Peter badge.

All the usual details apply, if you want to send us some stuff.

-Thank you.

-So many of you, in fact, like Barney's new 'do that we've

secured an exclusive interview with none other than Barnet Hairwood.

-Clever.

-I said that correct.

Full of puns, full of gags, full of everything in between.

Jump on to the BP Fan Club to see more of where that came from.

Now, guys, everyone in the studio, everyone at home, get excited.

It is the moment we've all been waiting for. Cue the music, please.

-BIG BAND INTRO PLAYS

-We love it, don't we? We love this.

It's time to reveal June's BP Fan of the Month.

-Barney, do the honours.

-My bit, OK.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

for being so nice to other fans on the Blue Peter Fan Club,

for getting involved with all of the games

and for writing lots of acrostic poems - one in particular about the green badge -

this month's Fan Of The Month is...

the TealWaterElephant

CHEERING AND CLAPPING

Congratulations. You have won a million pounds and a speedboat.

-No Radz, no Barns.

-It's not true, you haven't won any of those things.

If you want to be next month's Fan, you can be.

Head online, there's a little guide there by Radzi and myself,

looking a bit odd, telling you how you can sign in and get your very own account.

-Barney.

-What?

-Stop shaking your bum.

-Sorry.

Er, Fan Club Hour is straight after the show.

It is indeed, and jump on there for more Blue Peter awesomeness.

-RECORD STYLUS SCRATCHES

-Oh!

-Oh!

Now, that wasn't a technical problem, don't worry.

That's actually a little nod as to what you're about to see,

because I met a guy who, actually, I'm a huge fan of.

He's called DJ Mr Switch and he taught me how to scratch...

a record.

Ten Pieces is all about introducing a new listener to the beautiful

world of classical music.

So, as part of this, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra

are doing a really special concert right here in Manchester.

Oh, and I'm going to be playing with them.

In just three days.

Ten Pieces aims to inspire a whole new generation of music fans.

They listen and then shake it up - or reversion it - in a creative way.

I wonder what I'll be playing?

Like the cello, maybe? Or the violin?

Or, hopefully, my favourite instrument because of how it sounds,

the bassoon.

The bassoon.

-Oh, all right, mate.

-All right?

Where's the orchestra? I'm playing with an orchestra.

It's just me today.

Oh.

-Well, what can you do with them?

-Try this.

HE SCRATCHES OVER BLUE PETER THEME

Meet four-time world champion DJ Mr Switch,

AKA Tony.

At the concert, he's performing a piece called

Concerto For Turntables And Orchestra,

composed by Gabriel Prokofiev,

and he wants me to join

him and scratch my way through three parts of it.

RECORD SCRATCHING

That was unbelievable. Well, I'll tell you what, let's start talking

about the actual instrument itself. You know, a piano has keys,

a guitar, strings. What do we play on this instrument?

Well, scratching consists of two ingredients. We have the turntable

and the mixer. So, the turntable goes backward and forwards...

RECORD SCRATCHING

..and then the mixer has this thing called the fader.

All it does is turn the sound on and off.

And then, we put those two parts together,

then we get all these different scratch techniques.

I need a masterclass and quickly.

We start with the baby scratch.

RECORD SCRATCHING

-Shall I try it?

-Give it a go.

RECORD SCRATCHING

-That's the baby scratch, OK.

-This is called the chirp.

RECORD SCRATCHING

This is going to take a while, isn't it?

MR SWITCH LAUGHS

I spend the next few hours getting to grips with some simple scratches,

and I am loving it.

So, Barney's coping quite well at the moment.

We've shown him the basics, but now, I'm going to throw the

whole piece at him and we're going to put everything all together.

Let's see how he does.

Tony takes me through the three scratches that he wants me

to do in his performance.

The first is the string riff.

It's actually the most complicated

and it sounds like this.

RECORD SCRATCHING

Tony, it's so hard.

The second is called the scribble.

-Yeah, that's good.

-So, that's element two.

-There's a third element though, right?

-There's a third element.

So, there's various different bits of percussion where I'll play

- or the DJ plays - a part and then the percussion and brass reply.

And so the third is the call and response

Now I know what I've got to do,

we spend the next few hours getting our performance up to...

scratch.

Two days later and it's the final rehearsals.

One last chance to practise my new skills

and I've got company.

This is it. I've now got to play this piece of music - or scratch -

with an orchestra.

Tony gets us off to a good start.

But, when it gets to my part,

the pressure gets to me.

Ah, no. No volume.

I left my fader down.

I cannot do that on the big day.

If you make a mistake, it's not like you can correct it. It's like, "Oh, no! I missed it,"

and you've got to move to the next one, haven't you? I need to get that right.

And, before I know it, rehearsals are over.

It's showtime.

-ANNOUNCER:

-Please welcome Barney Harwood!

Thanks Casey, ta.

I have to try and remember everything Tony has taught me.

First up is the string riff.

And...

I just about do it and my nerves settle.

Next, the scribble.

This one I find easier.

I'm feeling good now.

Finally, the call and response.

Nailed it!

And now I am really enjoying myself.

But, there's no denying who the master is.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

From an absolute beginner to a scratch DJ in just three days - loved it.

Unbelievable!

DJ Mr Switch is genuinely one of the best talents I think

I've ever been on the same stage with for a long time. So awesome.

Mate, I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much.

So, from scratching records to...

-making them, I suppose. That kind of works, doesn't it?

-That works.

-Yeah, good link.

Here's the current Freestyle Football Federation Champion.

He's about to make a world record.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, please welcome Andrew Henderson.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm joined in the studio by Christopher from Guinness.

-Christopher, good to see you.

-Hello.

-Now, about the rules. How does it work today?

Cos we're all feeling a bit nervous.

OK, Andrew, today you're going to attempt the official

Guinness World Records title for the fastest time to complete

ten Maradona 7s.

So, for the purposes of this record,

a Maradona 7 is a football trick in which you pass a football

from your right foot to your left foot to you right knee or thigh

to your left knee to your right shoulder to your left shoulder

and then to your head.

That counts as one repetition, and then back to your right foot.

Amazing. And to demonstrate that, Christopher, everybody.

-Ha, no.

-I'm only kidding.

OK, so, what happens if the ball drops or if he uses a different part of his body?

-If the ball drops, the whole attempt is disqualified.

-Uh-oh.

And if the ball touches any other part of your body other than the seven points,

you have to start again at the right foot.

Just to reiterate, this is the first time it's ever been been attempted.

60 seconds and we're looking for the magic number ten.

How ya feeling?

I'm nervous. I'm excited.

It's going to be difficult,

but, you know, I think I can do it. I've trained hard and, er,

-and let's give it a go.

-Yeah.

Mate, don't worry, if you get this wrong, there's only 20 million people watching.

-You'll be absolutely fine.

-You've got this.

-OK, Christopher, it's all yours.

-Go on, Andrew!

Andrew, this is an official Guinness World Records attempt.

Are you ready?

OK. Three,

two,

one, go.

-That's one.

-He's off to a really good start.

-He's so calm.

-He's in the flow.

Look at the focus.

Three.

Four.

Five. Halfway through.

-Oh, lbit of a wobble.

-Six. Well done.

The tension. I can't take this tension.

-Eight.

-So, this is the first time this has ever been attempted

-and live on TV, everybody. He's doing a fantastic job.

-Nine.

-He's so nearly there.

-Go on, you've got one more to go.

-Go on.

-Has he done it in time?

-There we go, amazing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, well done, well done. How do you think that went?

I'm really, really, really, really, really happy with that.

Well, that says enough. Listen, you'll be even happier when you see your super-slo-mo. Look at that.

You look so controlled and you hit all the right parts of your body,

so you've definitely counted, but, Christopher, you are the man

that says whether or not it has been achieved today.

OK. So, Andrew, the time to beat was 60 seconds.

I can confirm,

with a finishing time of 37 seconds, it is a new...

CHEERING DROWNS OUT HIS VOICE

Yeah, Andrew, you smashed that. How are you feeling?

I'm so happy with that. 37 seconds, that's faster than I've ever done it in training.

-Wow!

-Amazing!

-I'm over the moon.

You pulled all the stops out. One huge round of applause, everybody, please!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Thank you, mate, and congratulations.

-Well done!

-If you want to learn some tricks

from the man himself, head online to the Blue Peter website.

You're going to be taught how to do the crossover.

-That was brilliant!

-Ah, very exciting.

There's glitter everywhere. Now, earlier in the show, we asked you to let us know

-who would you have a little kick about with...

-Andrew.

-ALL: ..and why?

-Yeah, well, apart from Andrew. He's amazing.

Er, OrangeFeistyJellyfish says,

-"I'd have a little match with Shelley."

-Awww!

She's got tiny, tiny legs.

"She'd have great tactics, cos she could hide in her shell

"and the ball would just bounce off it."

-True.

-Genius.

-She's amazing at football, Shelley.

LemonDreamyAnemone - now, you'll like this, Linds - you clearly watch a lot of Blue Peter.

"I'd have a kickabout with Lindsey, cos she can ref and play the game at the same time."

I think I've forgotten my ref skills, though. I think you'd win.

-Definitely.

-It's been thought about.

CarnelianChocolateBaker,

"I would play with Jamie Johnson," - of course you would -

"because I think he's so cool and it would be lots of fun." Thank you.

I'm not sure about this one. CyanGymnasticGoat says,

"I'd play football with the whale because why not?"

I like your reasoning. Points for that, well done, you.

-And Lindsey, do you like Whales?

-No.

-The animals?

-Love the country, love the country.

-Don't like the animals. Er, LilacReadingJaguar?

-OK.

"I'd like to play with Albert Adomah, cos he's a player from my favourite team

"that I've just got into the Premier League - Middlesbrough."

Well done, Middlesbrough!

IndigoMetallicCanary, "I would like a kickabout with David Walliams,

"because he'd make me laugh after each goal I scored."

Yes, he would. Brilliant. Thank you very much for getting in touch.

Thank you very much for all of your comments. Now, if you have been on the Fanclub,

then you'll know that we have been playing presenter bingo and

the secret phrase is "over the moon". And who won it?

-None other than TealWaterElephant! Of course you did!

-Fan Of The Month.

-They're having a really good day today.

-That's a very good day for you.

Congratulations. Well done.

We should send you this T-shirt as well, I think.

Hey, listen, don't forget about Fathers' Day on Sunday. If you want to have a go at making

the secret message rock cakes that Tilly made last week,

all the details are online, and there's also a really cool food quiz. Get involved.

-That's it for today. Make sure you're watching next week, there's going to be...

-I'm not here...

-No, you are cos we've got creepy crawlies.

-No.

-OK, I will.

-Now, this is a model of Shelley.

I'm going to be taking Shelley to London and Shelley will be interviewing the stars

-of The Secret Life Of Pets. You heard me correctly.

-That's amazing.

-Shelley will be interviewing.

-She is such a superstar.

As well as that, we're going to be showing you

how to make your very own Shelley pinata.

It's going to be a bit of a Shelley party next week.

Jamie, well done. We will see you next week. Don't miss it!

-Bye!

-Bye-bye!

-Bye!
