The Big Bug Show! Blue Peter

BLUE PETER: THE BIG BUG SHOW! CBC A402W/01 BRD000000

It's National Insect Week

and we are celebrating in style with some giant bugs.

-Wait, how big are they? This big?

-No.

-This big?

-No, Linds, no.

-How big?

-This big!

Oh, my goodness!

She's gone!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Hello!

-Hello!

-Welcome to Blue Peter.

-Lindsey?

-Yeah?

-You're back.

I'm right here. It's just he scared me dressed up as an insect.

-I had to run away.

-I'm scaring you like this, apparently.

-You're not! You look lovely.

-Thanks, boo.

We're in the Blue Peter garden drinking in

what was the sunshine and what is still left of it.

-But we cannot start the show without...

-Hi.

-THEY LAUGH The tram's arrived!

-They're late!

We've got to talk about Mr Tim Peake.

The astronaut. He has landed.

-A round applause for Tim Peake.

-Yes.

-Legend.

-He's back.

He's such a legend, he even referenced us

in his press conference. Check this out.

We've reached over a million schoolchildren,

which is just phenomenal.

I've loved every single minute of it.

All of the competitions we've had, from the naming competition,

from the patch design competition on Blue Peter,

through to space dinners and the fitness competitions, rocket seeds.

There's been so many.

Really, I'm delighted that they got involved.

I'm delighted they've been encouraged and been inspired to

look at space, to look at science in a different way.

-Have you seen a bigger hero amongst men?

-So cool.

-I love that guy.

He's inspired so many people, including myself,

and I'm sure he's inspired you, as well.

If he has, why not get in touch to tell us about it?

You might even get a Blue Peter badge for your efforts.

Tim, can't wait to see you soon.

Speaking of which, coming up on today's show,

we follow the epic journey of this Blue Peter badge

as it makes its way to the Isle of Lewis by post.

That's so cool!

Myself and Shelley head to London to interview

the cast of The Secret Life of Pets.

And we're going to be showing you

how to make this...

-Oh!

-THEY LAUGH

-Yes!

-Your very own Shelley pinata that I just plonked into my face.

There you go, she's spinning around.

Perfect for all your outdoor summer parties. Can't wait for that.

That means, by the way, we're live

-when that kind of stuff happens.

-Yep.

If that isn't enough Shelley action, we've got more where it came from.

Can you spot Shelley?

All you've got to do is jump onto the fan club

and see if you can be first to find her. There she is.

-She's gone.

-Nearly.

Also, because it's National Insect Week,

we want to hear from you.

We want you to come up with your very own insect.

Maybe it's hairy, maybe it's teeny, maybe it's huge.

Whatever it is, write into us...

-Stop it.

-Shelley's there.

Leave us a comment and let us know.

We'll read out as many of your comments as we can

-at the end of today's show. Goodbye.

-See you later, guys!

-I think the tram's gone.

-Thanks for coming.

-I think we need an example.

-I can sort that out.

I'm in charge of it, it says here.

Basically, this lady's very creative.

She also wrote the book Beetle Boy.

It's MG Leonard. Round of applause, please, everybody.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

You know your stuff when it comes to insects.

But before we talk about your book, let's talk about what you would do

if you were to invent your very own.

I think if I was going to invent a beetle, I'd want a big one

with the horns of a rhinoceros beetle,

and the exoskeleton of a rainbow stag beetle

with the firepower of a bombardier beetle.

How do you mean, firepower?

-Well, they shoot acid out of their bottom.

-Do they?!

-Yeah.

That's a proper skill. A bit like Radzi.

So let's talk about Beetle Boy.

For those that haven't read it, give us the lowdown.

Well, it's about a boy called Darkus

who tries to solve the mysterious disappearance of his father with

the help of a giant rhinoceros beetle

and an army of intelligent insects.

Have you always loved beetles?

No, actually, I used to be terrified of all insects.

In fact, once I had to go to a butterfly tunnel

and I had a hat that I pulled over my head and I put on gloves

and I did up my coat because I didn't want one to land on me.

Even the ones that aren't real still shoot stuff out of their bottoms.

That's gone all over my hands, that has.

How did you go from writing a book about beetles

when you were scared of them,

to then turning the beetles into heroes?

Well, I was researching another story

when I came across an article on the internet about beetles.

I read some amazing facts,

like one in four of all the creatures on the planet is a beetle.

They're so beneficial to the ecosystem.

They fertilise crops and plants and they break down waste,

and they make the soil rich, and, in fact, they are heroic.

I thought someone needs to write a story

where the beetles are the good guys, where they're the heroes.

And that's when I had my idea.

I'm glad you got over your initial fear because we've got some guests

in the Blue Peter garden today.

-Would you like to meet them?

-Oh, yes.

Now, the scariest one of all, be really careful,

is Scott.

We don't know what he's going to do next.

-How are you, Scott?

-Good to be back.

Scott, Maya. Maya, Scott. What have you got for us?

Well, as you've been talking about beetles, I thought we'd bring in

some real beetles for you to see.

But I thought we'd start off by meeting a juvenile beetle.

-A juvenile.

-Yeah.

-A little baby.

-A little cute baby.

-Little cute baby.

Yeah, let's have a look at the cute baby.

Whoa, there, Nelly.

I wasn't expecting that. That's not cute.

-Would you like to have a little hold?

-No! Absolutely not.

Come on, you know you want to.

All right, what are we looking at here?

This is actually a beetle larva.

Beetles actually spend most of their life underground looking like this.

Maybe two or three years and then only a few months

as the actual beetle right at the end of its life.

-Can you see his little mouth moving around there?

-Yeah, I can.

-It's cute, isn't it?

-Very, very strong jaws.

-I'm only telling you this now you're actually holding it.

-Sure.

He needs them for breaking down the dead wood under the ground

that he eats for his dinner to build up all the fat reserves to help him

to survive when he turns into a giant beetle.

What happens if we do this?

Nothing! Only kidding. It's there in my hand. Don't worry. All's good.

-OK.

-Yes, thank you very much.

OK. What else have you got?

-That's a baby one. A cute baby.

-A cute baby.

-So, do you want to meet an adult beetle?

-Yes, please.

OK. Well, these are a little bit cuter and I think these are possibly

one of the most beautiful beetles.

-You're not kidding.

-OK, we're going to meet a rhino stag beetle.

We got a little boy and we got a little girl.

Maya, I can see why you like these creatures.

Yeah, these are my favourite species of beetle at the minute

and, actually, I've just got myself a pair as pets.

You actually keep them as pets at home?

Yeah. Although, if you're going to keep beetles as pets

you've got to take great care to do your research

-and replicate their natural habitat.

-Sure.

They like humid tanks and they also

like to eat fruit or this, banana jelly.

Oh, yeah, I love a bit of banana jelly.

Why has one got big, massive horns and the other's got little ones?

Well, this is a great way to tell the difference between a male

and a female beetle, because, usually, the males have big horns

called mandibles that they use for their courtship displays

and also for fighting with other male beetles, actually.

So, if we wanted to see these in the wild, where would we have to go?

Well, actually, these ones are from Australia,

but, actually, we do have our very own stag beetles

right here in England.

Usually down south, but ours are even bigger than this.

Bigger mandibles, pretty amazing.

We have some footage of these guys in action.

-Can you talk us through what's going on?

-OK.

So, you've got a couple of males here, fighting,

and you can see just how big their mandibles are. Pretty impressive.

If you want to be able to find these, you need to live down south,

really, and you have to be very lucky, because they're

becoming quite hard to find and are becoming quite endangered.

Yeah, and there's something that everybody can do to help stag

beetles and that's to make log piles at the bottom of your garden,

where you bury some of the wood underground, because beetle larvae

eat the rotting wood, but that's also where they lay their eggs.

So, if you want stag beetles to move further north,

bury your logs at the bottom of your garden.

What a great tip and what a beautiful creature.

How are you going to top that one, Scott?

-Well, we'll top it by going bigger, better, more impressive.

-OK.

OK. Well, you can't get much more impressive than this.

I've seen it at a distance.

-Oh, my goodness.

-So, here we go.

We have a pretty, pretty, amazing rhinoceros beetle.

Like the one out of your book, I think. Yeah?

Yeah, like Baxter in the book. Yeah.

-So, are you going to be brave and have a little hold of this one?

-No.

Come on, Barney. You're brave.

Now, believe it or not, this is the strongest animal in the world.

This guy can lift 850 times his body weight.

That's like you lifting ten African elephants.

-Which is pretty incredible, isn't it?

-It is pretty incredible.

I guess that is the basis for Baxter, the character in your story,

-cos he's a strong person.

-Yeah.

The strength was one of the aspects and, actually,

Baxter does help Darkus defeat the evil villain,

Lucretia Cutter, with his strength,

but I also picked the rhinoceros beetle

because I wanted a beetle that,

if a 12-year-old saw one of those, they would think, "Whoa!"

and they'd want to pick it up, but also, if you look,

he's got a ginger beard and he's quite cute.

He eats fruit and he's quite clumsy when he walks.

Yeah. Well, I love him. I genuinely, actually do.

He looks a bit like a fighter jet.

He does, yeah. More superpowers?

Wow. Actually, that's really cool. Look at that.

How impressive is that? He's just hanging on there.

Scott, always a pleasure to have you here.

-Thank you very much.

-Thanks for having us.

Maybe we'll see a bit more of you later on.

If you want to go to the Blue Peter website and check out a quiz -

beetle related quiz - then get on there...

Oh, look at your smiley face on telly. That's amazing.

Go and check that out and have some fun.

You can take that off me now please, Scott. Thank you very much.

Erm, what do you think...

Ow!

-No, seriously ow.

-We'll leave him there.

What do you think beetles get up to when you're not at home?

I don't know, but I suspect my rainbow stags

fly about eating bananas.

Well, there is an answer. They've made a movie about what pets get up

to, and we sent two our stars to meet to some of theirs.

Seriously, he's not coming off, is he?

Kev, I had so much fun watching the film.

Could you tell us what it's about for anyone who hasn't seen it?

The Secret Life Of Pets is basically about the life of a pet

when you leave.

And when that door closes, what is your dog doing for that day.

Bye, Buddy.

Bye, everyone.

GASP

Kevin Hart plays Snowball,

an evil rabbit out for revenge on happy pets.

That ball of fluff's got a screw loose.

A-ha-ha-ha...

Uh-oh.

Just ignore what just happened, OK?

When Snowball does a little poo-poo on the floor...

That came from what really happened in the sound booth.

This is a day where my stomach was already giving me difficult...

You know, was giving me problems, and everybody was like,

"Whoa! That's never happened."

And I was like, "Let's use it."

We are flushed pets.

Thrown away by our owners and now we're out for revenge.

Was it tough in the film to play Snowball,

because it's a rabbit - cute and cuddly -

but it isn't cute and cuddly.

I mean, listen, it's one of the toughest roles I've ever played.

This is a villain.

I'm responsible for starting a revolution.

This is Duke. He's going to be...

One of the pets Snowball wants to recruit is Duke,

a dog played by Eric Stonestreet,

and who better to interview him

than our very own Shelley.

It's an honour to meet you, Shelley.

MUZAK

Right now, Blue Peter pet Shelley the tortoise is interviewing

-your co-star Eric.

-OK.

-How do you think that'll be going?

Er, you know, Eric's a difficult guy.

MUZAK

Oh, you're giving me

the silent treatment, I see. OK.

Well, you know what, Shelley?

Two can play this game.

CLEARS THROAT

-You got the better end of the stick.

-Right.

You know, sitting here with me is a bonus. It's a big deal.

-OK.

-OK.

MUZAK

OK. You know what? Look, I didn't mean it, Shelley.

I want to be friends. I don't want you upset with me.

You can ask me anything.

MUZAK

You know, I'll be shocked if they're still talking about pets.

Well, look, I play a sloppy dog in the movie, you know.

And what about Iggy?

You guys are besties.

MUZAK

Shelley, please do not leave.

Wow.

This is where Eric normally makes people talk about himself

or his crazy collection of coins.

Shelley, have I ever told you about my coin collection?

Probably the most...

rude interview I've ever had.

Showing me your back.

Kev, thank you so much. Absolute pleasure.

Shelley?

There's one thing that's missing

-and that's your very own Blue Peter badge, sir.

-Whoa!

-Congratulations.

-Wait a minute, hold on.

-This is legit. This is real.

-This is mine?

This is yours.

Just give me a sign, a nod...

Anything, at all.

Oh.

A Blue Peter badge?

This may be the most incredible thing that's ever happened to me.

I've never received...

Wait. Is Eric getting one of these?

I cant believe it, Shelley. Thank you so much.

Thank you, and it matches my outfit.

Shelley is so showbiz, isn't she?

We're going to keep it quite "Shelley" right now and I'm going to

show you how to make something very special for a party.

In fact, I've got a joke for you.

What do tortoises like to do at summer parties?

They "shellebrate". GROANS

Cos they've got shells, isn't it?

Tough crowd. Radzi?

-I like those jokes.

-I'm not convinced.

It's good have you back, Barney.

Now then, you're going to like this, cos it's a make that

involves parties - outdoor parties -

and Shelley.

It can only be the Shelley pinata.

Have a look there, in all her glory,

just spinning around in the wind, showing herself off.

It's a really good make.

We love this one, don't we, Radz? We're doing it together.

-We're about to have a Shelley party.

-Linds!

-Yes?

What do you need to make it?

You're going to need the following things.

Of course, you'll need a balloon, some newspaper,

some watered-down PVA glue, thick string, a tiny little pencil,

thick cardboard, acrylic paint and, of course,

a bit of recycled packaging.

It's a very green make. We love it.

So, first things first.

You need a Shelley body, and I'll do that with a balloon.

OK. Uh-oh.

Well done. If you could... Oh, Radz! I knew you were going to do that.

-Oh, It landed on the cameramen, as well.

-It's not a big deal, Linds.

-It's just how we roll.

-OK, you've got one there.

So, we've got a nice, big one.

And then, to get started, I've just got a few bits of newspaper

-that I've just torn, doesn't have to be too neat.

-Yes.

Then, dip them in the PVA and water, like so,

and then wipe it off - you don't want too much glue on them -

and then whack it onto your balloon, like so.

Now, you need a couple of layers, Radz,

because we want our Shelley to be sturdy.

So, make sure you kind of dip it in and

when you put the next bit on and wipe off the glue,

just make sure that it just slightly overlaps like that.

There you go. And once you've done that all the way round,

it should be a nice bit of papier mache.

In fact, Linds, it will look a little bit like...

BOTH: Whoa!

-Nearly lost it.

-Reactions there.

So, what we've done here is we've got two layers of papier mache.

We'll let each layer dry before adding the second one

and you can see just here, we got a little bit of a gap there.

The reason for that gap is very simple.

That is where we add our treats and our sweets.

-Linds, you're excited.

-Yeah. Can I do the fun bit?

This is basically where you get to pop your balloon and it should...

-Fingers crossed, we are live...

-This could genuinely go wrong.

-Go on, Linds.

-Let's see if it keeps its sturdy shape.

-Hello!

-N-i-i-ce.

That went incredib... Come on. Incredibly well.

Grab a grown-up to help you with that bit, just in case it

doesn't quite go right. Lovely.

-So, shall we now fill it?

-Yeah, fill it with treats and sweets.

OK. These sweets are a little bit special here,

cos we've actually made these.

These are Blue Peter's very own sweets.

If you want to find out how to make those,

simply jump onto the Blue Peter website.

-And I'll start filling right now.

-Chuck them in.

As well as that, you might not always want sweets.

You might want some of these.

We've made origami little butterflies and flowers here.

There's stars, there's a bit of everything.

So, let's chuck those in, because then it looks nice and pretty,

when it busts open.

And I actually think, if you do both of them,

that's the one you want right there.

-Yeah, cos then it will burst it open. Let me get some stars in.

-OK.

-There we go.

-Are we good?

-Yeah, we're good.

-Linds, hang on.

-Yeah?

Because we need to hang it.

-You see what I did there?

-Kind of.

It needs to hang up, and this is where the pencil

and string comes in.

So, just beneath the gap there, I'm going to put my fingers

underneath the hole and then I'm going to press inside, like so.

-Nicely done.

-And once you've gone all the way through -

this is worth grabbing a grown-up

at this stage, cos it can be a bit tricky.

-The pencil goes horizontal...

-Hey, that's good!

..and you can see we can hang it.

We're definitely getting there.

There's a little problem. Does this look like Shelley to you, guys?

-ALL:

-No.

No, I didn't think so. Not really.

So, what we need to do is make it look more Shelley-like.

To do that, with my cardboard, as you can see,

and some recycled stuff, I just cut out these little hexagons, like so.

They don't need to be neat, as long as they've got six sides.

And then, with a bit of sticky tape like so,

-we're just going to stick them on.

-Nice.

So, I'll put one at the front there, and then,

a top tip you can do is get a slightly bigger one

and this is how you can cover your hole up.

Can you see what I'm doing there?

Cover it up.

And that means that all our sweeties won't fall out.

There we go. Radz, it still doesn't look like Shelley, does it?

Well, exactly. We've got the body. What about the legs and head?

Well, that is where our cups come in. So, we've got four cups here.

We've also got a yoghurt pot and these will form...

Aaaah!

-Yes, indeedy-doodly.

-Little leggies.

-there you go.

And then, once we've put the body on top and the head on, like so...

Barney, we can see you stealing sweeties.

..and stuck with sticky tape all the way round,

we'll have a Shelley which looks a little bit like this.

Like this one. There you go.

Does that look a bit more like Shelley now?

We're getting there, aren't we? And you can see we've just put

another layer of papier mache all over,

but a top tip is don't make it too thick.

You don't want to put too much on, because otherwise,

Shelley's belly won't give you loads of sweets.

-Shelley's belly.

-I like what you did there.

-Yeah, it was nice.

-There you go.

-So, what do you think is missing here, guys?

Is it beginning with P and ending in aint?

-Yeah!

-Absolutely.

-I think it might be.

-So, I'll turn Shelley over.

-And I'm going to paint...

-Barney's taken so many sweets.

You guys can have some after as well, don't worry.

-I didn't even notice Barney did that, by the way.

-He's taken loads.

Right, let's do a little belly there.

Oh, and let's get that, kind of, dirty paint colour on.

There we go. You can get creative with this bit.

To be honest, you could make a multicoloured Shelley.

It really doesn't matter, but once you've gone all the way over her

and really let her dry, she should look something like...

Can I get a round of applause, please?

..Shelley pinata!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

That is pretty good, isn't it?

-She's looking awesome.

-I like that.

And if you want to make your own, why don't you head onto

the Fan Club afterwards, because you can see Radzi and I,

where we're just having a go.

-A little Shelley party, aren't we?

-I made a boo-boo.

-I made a boo-boo when I might have hit Shelley.

-Oh, no.

But, actually, this is where we want you to grab a grown-up

and record yourself having a go at breaking open your Shelley pinata.

And once you done that, upload it onto the Blue Peter website.

-We'd love it.

-You want to do it right now, don't you?

-You want to bang open...

-Actually, yeah.

No, I'm going to hang onto her.

You can't just yet, Radzi, because all the details you need on how to

make your Shelley pinata are online - bbc.co.uk/blue Peter.

There you have it, your very own Shelley pinata.

I'm keeping her safe.

OK, it's time to take a look at all of your incredible artwork,

starting with this one, cos of the theme that we have going,

the Shelley Showbiz Special.

Look at this. That is actually a pinata.

Holly from Woking sent this in last week,

after we mentioned we were going to be doing it on this week's show.

That is what you'd call a superfast response. Holly, you're a genius.

A Blue Peter badge is in the post.

Guys, speaking of genius, this has been sent in by Cerys,

and it's actually a story.

A little story has been written for us

and it's called Super Insect

and it goes something like this.

"Once in a faraway garden, where the time ticked on,

"there was a small, bright, cheerful caterpillar called George,

"who thought he was an earthworm."

Wow, left us on a cliff-hanger there.

If you want to see how the story ends, that is going to be online,

so make sure you check it out on the Fan Club.

Do you know, some of my favourite post is when it's 3-D post,

and, James, you were obviously inspired is this show,

-because you've sent in an insect.

-Oh, wow!

A grasshopper complete with a monocle. James, thank you so much.

That is genius.

We genuinely love to hear from you.

Please send us loads more stuff. And who knows?

If it appears on this badge wall,

we will send you a Blue Peter badge via the post.

-Right, when you say you could actually get a badge...

-Yeah?

-How?

Oh, you put it in an envelope

and then just sort of put in the postbox.

Yeah, but how?

Er, well, you put it in and you put a stamp on

and then you put it in the postbox.

Er, yeah, but...watch this.

Last year, Blue Peter sent out over 70,000 badge letters

to you guys all over the UK.

And almost all of them were delivered by

the good, old British post.

It's a massive operation,

so we thought you might like to know how letters get from

the Blue Peter HQ to you at home.

So, we've picked one piece of post show you exactly that.

A delivery to one of the most northern parts of the UK...

The Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

And the story begins 400 miles south, here, in Salford.

And it all starts with these guys, the Blue Peter badge team.

They sort through the thousands of items of post you all send to us

and, importantly, decide which deserve a badge.

In the case of our letter, it's this review of a show

from Isle of Lewis resident, nine-year-old Caitlin.

Heidi, you think Caitlin's review's worthy of something.

Yes, I do, a purple badge.

Amazing. In it goes.

And we're off.

I'm going to be carrying Caitlin's letter myself and following

the journey it would normally take.

From the Blue Peter office, it's processed

and prepared for collection by our post team.

Thank you, sir.

And this is where the Royal Mail come in.

2016 marks 500 years

since the first ever organised postal system in Britain,

which began as a very slow service on horseback

for Tudor King Henry VIII.

Today, there are lots of other companies that can deliver

letters and parcels,

but Royal Mail look after those you put in the postbox.

And so postman Lee picks up our letter and me.

First class post aims to be delivered by the next day,

so it's a race against time to get Caitlin's letter moving.

First stop, the Manchester Mail Centre, managed by Janet.

Janet, this place is absolutely massive.

What goes on here?

So, we sort about 1.5 million letters a day.

-1.5 million?

-Yeah. And we sort them on these machines,

which sort the letters into all the different destinations.

And then we stack them off, ready to go out of the mail centre tonight.

That's a lot of letters.

At one time they'd have been sorted by hand,

but now technology does the leg work.

Letters are put through a kind of giant washing machine,

which sorts them all out by size.

They then pass through a postcode scanner,

which divides them up into different areas of the country,

ready to be sent out.

Our letter's travelling to Scotland,

so you'd think it would be going north, right?

Wrong.

Because instead of driving all the way to Scotland,

this lorry is actually heading to our south.

To here, at East Midlands Airport,

because our letter is about to take to the sky.

Royal Mail has used all sorts of transport to move their post -

boats, trains and they first introduced air mail

way back in 1911,

and Pete from East Midlands Airport can explain why.

Well, it's all about speed.

As an example, we fly to Edinburgh.

The flight from East Midlands Airport

to Edinburgh Airport takes an hour.

If you were to run in a vehicle, it's going to be 6.5 to 7 hours.

Our letter will be loaded onboard a plane

and taken to the sorting centre for the north of Scotland in Inverness.

Once it's been checked,

it's straight back to the airport,

where it's loaded onto another plane...

to land at our final destination.

Just as the people of Lewis are waking up,

the post arrives and Caitlin's badge is nearly with her.

14 hours ago,

our letter would have been in the hands of the Blue Peter badge team

and now, incredibly, it's on an island off the coast of Scotland,

400 miles away.

The best part is Caitlin has no idea we're here.

And as she's already at school,

I'm going to hand deliver her letter.

Standby for surprise of a lifetime.

(This is Caitlin's class. Here we go.)

Hi, Miss. Sorry to disturb you.

Does anybody here know where Caitlin is?

Hello, Caitlin. My name is Radzi, from Blue Peter.

LAUGHTER

Well, Caitlin, you sent off for your purple badge recently, didn't you?

So we've come all the way from Manchester to present you

with your very own purple badge.

There's your letter...

and inside might just be...

Your own purple badge. Round of applause, please.

APPLAUSE

Can you tell us what show you decided to review?

It was the one when you were doing the lip-synch battle and I thought

that was, like, my favourite one because it was really funny.

# Hello from the other side... #

I wanted to watch more of it cos I really enjoyed

watching when they had the wigs on and singing -

I found that really funny.

Caitlin, thank you very much for applying.

You are an awesome Blue Peter fan. High five.

If you're lucky enough to have earnt yourselves one of these,

a Blue Peter badge, then spare a thought for the journey

it's been on to get to you

because that journey is pretty incredible.

Now, how do I get back to the studio?

-And Radzi was never seen again.

-HE LAUGHS

-It's a great ending, that.

-You left him there. No, he's back.

-That is why the badge is oh-so-special.

-We love it.

Right then, let's talk about inventing our own insects.

Maya, you can go first with this one.

-You've been getting in touch and they are awesome.

-They are.

The first one is from OpalClarinetPeach

and they say, "Mine is called the Zebrion.

"It's a creature with a lion's mane, a zebra's head,

"a chicken's body and has pan pipes for wings."

That would be a weird burger.

"It loves meat paste and has three legs."

There's a little big of a nod to Hacker T Dog in there.

Yeah, very clever.

CornelionSmilingTurtle, "I would create the lesser-spotted

"butter bee, a striped, furry butterfly that stings.

"It has bright neon stripes, to give anybody a warning,

"and if someone interferes with it, it stings them."

That's like a super insect, that one, isn't it? It's cool.

AmethystBrainyMaster - good name - says,

"Mine is jumpy colour mood bug..." Sounds good.

"..and it loves to jump around all over the place,

"and it changes colour on its mood."

-Genius idea.

-That's quite cool.

GarnetSportyChicken says, "My insect would be a pokokoko

"and it would tap dance with all six of its legs."

-I'm so glad you got that one.

-LAUGHTER

-Brilliant.

-We've also been playing a little bit of spot Shelley

and the very first person to do so, Linds...

I'll get that up for you, Radz.

..it was, wait for it, FireOpalEcstaticDaffodil.

-Well done.

-Congratulations.

And where was it? It was in the beetle enclosure.

Thank you so much for all your comments and,

just so you know, the BP Fan Club is the place to be.

Who likes the BP Fan Club? Oh, hello. See? It's cool.

You can get exclusive games, you can chat to other BP fans,

it really is awesome.

You can also see Dan Freedman on there,

he's talking about Jamie Johnson

and what actually happens behind the scenes...

in the Euro competitions.

And there's also a clip of me flying over Buckingham Palace -

a day I will genuinely never forget -

for the Queen's 90th birthday.

What a privilege that was.

Guys, I don't want anyone to cry or get upset,

but that's all we've got time for today. Oh...what a shame.

But make sure you're watching next week cos it's lights...

-Action...

-And camera, in any order you like.

It works out so well, doesn't it(?)

We're going to go behind the scenes and we're going...

She's on next week's show, a star of Disney.

I can't wait to see her and have some fun.

Lights, action, camera -

we should have practised that bit.

Guys, who's on the BP Fan Club straight after this?

It is the place to be, you can't go anywhere else.

Thank you so much for coming in, Maya.

Thank you so much to Scott as well.

-We'll see you next week. Bye, guys.

-ALL: Bye!

This is the bit where you get sweeties.

ALL: Yeah!
