CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Hello!

-Hello!

-And welcome to live Blue Peter.

Radz, I know I'm a good dancer.

I've actually come up with another move.

-Have you?

-Yeah, I think you'll like it.

-Let's see.

-It's called the Lindsey Jolly dance.

-It goes something like this.

-Sounds familiar.

It's good, isn't it? It's all mine. Thought it was fantastic.

Let's start the show, shall we?

We've got singer-songwriter superstar

Gavin James, who will be performing live in this very studio.

-Oh - everybody's very excited today, which I like.

-Woo!

See what happened when Barney took on a challenge that took skill,

determination and the will to win.

Of course, I'm talking about the World Pasty Championships.

-That's a real thing.

-It's a real thing.

You notice that Barney is not here.

However, he'll be back in two weeks.

Cannot wait for that, but somebody who is here...it's Shelley.

-Hi, Shells.

-Can you spot her?

Keep your eyes peeled throughout the show.

There she is. She gone.

She really is gone.

I've got a question for you.

Do you know the difference between an air flare and top rock?

-No.

-No, me neither.

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

These guys, luckily, do. Take it away!

Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: 24k Magic by Bruno Mars

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, my goodness!

Everyone is thinking it - "How? Wow!"

-Unbelievable.

-You've really shown me up, guys.

I thought I was doing all right in the opening titles.

Brooke, Roxy, Sunni, thank you so much for joining us.

Sunni, I'll start with yourself. I know you are very out of breath.

It's a very important time for you guys, right now.

Yeah, we actually a month away from the UK B-Boy Championships.

It's one of the biggest championships in the world

for break dancing, popping, locking...

So it's on April 9th.

I love that you checked your watch, that you're not wearing!

-LAUGHING:

-Yeah! April 9th.

We've got just under a month.

That's the worlds - you're familiar with the World Championships.

Yeah, I'm the current solo b-boy champ.

Round of applause! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Awesome.

-That's ridiculous.

Roxy, you've actually got a world record - is that correct?

Yeah. I hold the record for most head spins in a minute.

We've got to see that - would you mind showing us?

-Yeah.

-OK. do it. I'm very excited.

Don't try this at home, by the way.

Unless your name is Roxy...

-Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. She's off.

-No!

-There she goes.

No...

LINDSEY SCREAMS

WHOOPING

Whoa!

-Look at that!

-Oh, wow!

-Incredible.

-Just like it's no big deal.

-Do you need a sick bucket? Are you OK?

-I'm fine.

Sunni, question - you mentioned B-Boy Championships.

What actually is a b-boy?

-B-boying...

-Mic, Linz.

-Oh, sorry.

-It's more commonly known as break dancing.

-OK.

And Brooke, you do something slightly different to them.

-Yeah, popping.

-Popping?

-Can we see some popping?

-Of course.

Boom! Pow! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wow...yeah!

Do you have to make that noise when you do it?

-It makes it look better.

-I'll remember that!

I've heard you talk about a thing called locking.

First of all, what actually is that?

Locking...

-A lock is another word for a stop.

-OK.

Yeah, so locking is locks, rolls, points...jumps...

-Wow...

-Look at that.

-Oh, my goodness.

And what's the key to a good lock?

Strength, power, funkiness.

-I like it.

-Being on the music.

All words that we do not possess. However, we'd love to give it a go.

Speak for yourself, Radzi Chinyanganya!

Wait till you see this.

It's Blue Peter, we love having a go.

Do you think, if I give you the mic, and you can commentate,

you can teach Radz a move?

-He needs the help.

-We can.

-As you saw, I'm the pro.

-Off you go, Radz.

-Bold, from Russell.

-OK. So, Sunni is going to show you a knee drop.

-OK.

-Oh, oh...

-Uh! Uh!

-Nothing to it.

-Simple, simple.

So, you're going to start with your left leg out.

-Yes.

-Then you're going to switch it, so your right leg comes up,

and then your right leg goes behind your knee,

and then goes onto the floor, so your foot is on the floor.

-Careful, Radz.

-Spin around.

-OK, spin around.

And then you pose - uh!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

We're not done yet.

-Not done yet? OK.

-Right, so, we're going to do the same thing again,

but this time, no hands on the floor.

-No hands. OK, fine.

-So, left leg out.

-Yeah.

-Switch legs.

-Yeah.

-Knee behind. Down.

Go, go, go! Spin, spin!

Uh!

CHEERING Hey!

Shall we try a quick move? Haven't got long, but let's do it.

It's going to be a bit better than theirs, don't worry.

-I like that.

-Have you ever seen Thunderbirds?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

-Puppet, right?

-OK.

-So, we're going to lift our arm,

-pretend there's a string on your wrist...

-Yeah.

-Other arm.

-Yeah.

Then collapse our knees, then collapse our heads.

-Boing!

-No!

-Oh, wow.

I feel...kind of cool.

-Left, knees, head.

-OK, let's put it together.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

LAUGHING: Yeah!

That was great. Thank you. Thank you for being with us.

Well, Brooke, Roxy, Sunni, thank you so much for joining us,

and good luck in the championships.

-We showed ourselves up there a bit, didn't we?

-Yep.

-But fear not.

Look no further than the World Pasty Championships.

-That's our next calling.

-What?

-Have a look.

This is the Eden Project,

home to one of the world's largest indoor rainforests.

It is quite simply stunning.

Even the Latin names for these plants are incredible and beautiful.

Look at this - Simmondsia chinensis.

It just sounds beautiful, doesn't it?

But if you want to see something really exotic, take a look at this.

This is...

The Cornishius pastius.

That's the real reason we're here today.

Oh, yes, because I'm not here to see the stunning plantlife.

Oh, no - I'm here because this place also hosts

the World Pasty Championships,

and this year, they have a new challenger.

Me.

I'm going to be entering the competition

and trying to create a prize-winning Cornish pasty,

but I don't know the first thing about making these famous treats.

Luckily, though, Jake, Naomi and last year's junior champ Jack do.

Let's talk about what makes the perfect pasty.

Jack, what do you think?

Well, you need to have fresh, home-grown ingredients, if you can.

But they need to be, like, perfect.

Use good ingredients in your pasty - OK.

Then Jake, what would you say?

Well, you've got to make sure it tastes good and not just looks good.

These guys take this seriously - but who can blame them?

The iconic Cornish pasty is a little piece of history.

They were created hundreds of years ago

for those working underground in the mines of Cornwall.

Their unusual crimped crust gave the miners something to hold on to,

without getting their lunch dirty.

Well, I think it's time to get cracking,

so I get some pastry - here's one I made earlier...

-Doesn't look like a Cornish pasty, yet, does it?

-No.

You need to roll it to about 25 to 30 centimetres.

What sort of shape am I going for, here?

-A circle.

-A circle. OK.

For the filling, in goes potato, swede, onion, beef

and Jack's special secret ingredient -

clotted cream.

Wait - what?

What the clotted cream does

is it makes a sort of gravy in the pasty.

I'll have to trust you on this one, Jack.

The ingredients are then placed onto the rolled pastry,

which is folded, ready for crimping.

You have to start from the right side,

and then keeping on folding in a triangle, like that.

It's this folding of the edge, called crimping,

that seals the filling in and makes the pasty unique.

Wow - that my first-ever pasty.

-Can't eat it now, though, can we?

-No. We need to put it in the oven.

55 minutes in the oven and that's my traditional Cornish entry done.

I'd also entered into the Open Savoury category.

That means I can make another pasty,

which gives me another shot to win the competition,

and, also, I don't have to do the traditional food inside it.

I can make anything I want.

So, I'm going to make steak and blue cheese,

which is a match made in heaven.

So, I'm adding blue cheese to your classic recipe...

..and a cheeky BP badge on top, obvs.

Next stop, competition time.

There are literally hundreds of pasties here,

and the competition is tough.

When I come to submit my crimped creations,

I realise the rules on entering are even tougher.

OK, so, for the Cornish pasty,

are you a professional baker or cook?

-No.

-Does it have beef, potato, onion or swedes?

-Yes.

-Perfect. Is it side-crimped?

-Yes.

-Is it made in Cornwall?

-Yes.

-OK, perfect. So, you've passed that one.

-Brilliant. Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-This is exciting.

Jake, Naomi and Jack also get their entries in,

meaning all that's left is for me to pop mine on display.

There you go.

Mine, for sure, look very different.

No-one is going to miss this.

From space, actually - look how big that is.

I've got my savoury and I've got my traditional.

And, while we're being traditional,

why not stick a Blue Peter flag in there as well?

So that everyone knows just how good a chef I am.

The judges will score each pasty out of 100,

so, as we await the results, I want to know what these guys

with a passion for pastry think of my efforts.

Hello, junior judges.

ALL: Hello!

So, here is a pasty that's been made by me.

It's my first time, so, be nice.

The score is out of 100. Take a piece and see what you think.

So, if you were going to give me a score out of 100, what would it be?

-100.

-OK.

-1,000!

-1,000 out of 100? That's a good score.

Thank you for trying them.

Shall I see if anyone else wants to try them?

-Can I take another one?

-You want another one?

-Really? It's that good?

-ALL: Yeah.

Sadly, though, these guys don't actually decide the competition,

so it's time to find out how I've done.

Has he done it?

Cue the tension music.

The winner of the Open Savoury Pasty Amateur is...

Don McKeever.

Right - so, maybe the steak and Stilton wasn't my best idea.

But I've still got my traditional Cornish - come on!

And the winner is...

Vanessa Farr.

Oh, well. Better luck next time.

You can't win them all.

But Naomi and Jack both get third place in their categories.

What an effort!

And as the pastry dust settles, I get my scores from the judges.

I got a total of 38/100.

That was for my savoury one, the steak and cheese,

which I thought, actually, was the worst one.

Underneath that, we've got the traditional pasty.

I got 48/100. That's not too bad.

OK, I take it on board.

I'm not best pasty maker in the world.

But what I have done is enjoyed myself -

not just the tasting and the cooking, but the learning.

And who knows what's going to happen next year.

I'll be back.

And you're going to be a champion, Barn.

-Thank you very much for dropping this little beauty off.

-Aw!

-An actual Cornish pasty.

-Looks quite delicious, doesn't it?

Now, of course, Barney wasn't lucky enough

to be crowned the World Pasty Champ, which he wanted,

but I think we should crown the Blue Peter fan of the month.

-Cue the music.

-FANFARE

-Yeah!

-Oh, I love that music. Music to my ears.

OK - this is a real BP fan.

They think Blue Peter is the best show ever on CBBC.

-True.

-They are always giving really good ideas for the caption challenge

that we do on The Fan Club Hour.

They're just a bit of a legend.

They're always been positive. They've got a great attitude.

So, Radz, Fan Of The Month is inside the pasty.

-Inside the pasty?!

-Ready? It is...

Take it out!

It is... Look at that greasy...

Topaz...

Wait, hang on.

Urgh...!

-Did you just lick the beef off of that?

-I had to!

My hand was tied.

Right, well, save that pasty for later.

That's how much I love Fan Of The Month.

Right, from pasties to your post-ie -

very smooth link, there.

Have a look at this week's big badge wall.

-It's incredible.

-Let's start with this one here.

-I smell of beef.

-So do I, actually.

I taste it.

This is from Imogen. Now, Imogen has sent this in super-quick.

Imogen is the sister of Naomi, that you actually saw in that film.

That's Barney's pasty, there,

and that's Barney, looking pleased with himself.

Thank you very much, Imogen.

A special shout-out to Harrison from Guildford.

He was inspired by you making pancakes,

Radz, with a bit of a difference.

He sent in... He's made his very own pan, look at that.

And inside, he's even done a little crepe.

-Shall I give it a flip?

-Flip it! Flip it! Flip it!

This hasn't gone right all day, Harrison,

but I'll try, just for you.

Go on, go on, Linz!

CHEERING

Now that is effort right there.

Oh, that hasn't gone right all day. Lovely.

Now, feast your eyes upon this here.

Ethan has sent us in this fantastic picture,

but it was a very special letter that accompanied it,

because Ethan told us that his dad is this man -

-Simon Thomas, Blue Peter presenter number 27.

-Royalty!

This man was my favourite-ever Blue Peter presenter.

He's a hero, he's an icon, and he's awesome.

-So excited.

-It's earned you your very own blue Blue Peter badge.

Not your dad's hand-me-downs - the 2017 version.

Have a look at this - it's from James from Derbyshire.

-Radz, go celebrate over there.

-I will.

He's given us a joke, which we love.

It says, "What did the cake say to the fork?"

CREW: I don't know. What did the cake say to the fork?

Thank you, Jack.

"Do you want a piece of me?"

LAUGHTER

We like that, we love a good LOL on BP.

Thank you so much for all your post,

it's keeping the badge wall looking fabulous.

-Another one for you, Linz.

-Yeah.

What's big, red and quite literally filled with LOLs?

I don't know, Radz - what is big, red and full of LOLs?

The Blue Peter totaliser.

Off we go.

-FANFARE

-We're having fun today, aren't we?

We're having a lot of fun. All of these numbers

represent jokey jokies that you good people have sent in.

You can get in on the action by downloading this form, here,

and including your favourite joke just down here.

-There have been...

-You've got the giggles.

I've got the giggles. There have been some corker-trons.

Like this one, from Ellie. Listen to it, it's funny.

Why is the school orchestra so smelly?

Because they have a large wind section.

CANNED LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER

Awesome.

We've got one from Nico. Go, Nico.

What do you call a dinosaur without any eyes?

LAUGHING: Don't know. What is it?

Doyouthinkysaurus!

CANNED LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER

Oh...!

We've got one more.

It's Lindsey from Oxford.

What did Jay-Z call his girlfriend before they were married?

FIANCEE.

WIND WHISTLES, BELL TOLLS

Right? Cos it...

-LAUGHING:

-Cos it sounds like Beyonce...

Cos it sounds like Beyonce!

-Don't get it.

-You don't get it?

No. Absolutely not.

I'm crying, Radzi. Do the next bit.

You can get involved by sending in your jokes.

You've only got two weeks left in which to do it, by the way.

Lindsey is absolutely gone.

But we want you to smash our total of 10,000.

We believe in you. We think you can do it.

You need to get your jokes into us by Wednesday 22nd March.

SHE LAUGHS HELPLESSLY

Do it.

-Online, Radzi.

-Also, take a look

at our fantastic online content.

-Lindsey, can you list it, please?

-Oh, yeah. We've got Hacker...

Hacker!

Everyone, stop at!

Get it together! We've got Hacker's Nosey Adventure,

and we have got Gabrielle Aplin

giving her top vocal tips, which is amazing.

If singing superstars is your thing, if it floats your boat,

then you are going to love our next guest.

Please welcome Gavin James.

Yeah!

-Gavin, we've got the giggles.

-Hi, there. Yeah?

-Thank you for being on Blue Peter.

-Thanks for having me.

What's it like to have the BP badge on?

-It's a dream, isn't it?

-It's amazing.

-Chuffed, yeah.

Now, let's talk about your career,

because you've had 200 million streams,

-is that right, for your music?

-Yeah, it's pretty cool.

It is pretty cool. How does that feel?

Say 100 million, a solid 100 million,

is probably my mam.

-Oh, OK.

-She, like, listens to it all the time.

Well, thanks, Mum. What a great support.

-Thanks, Ma.

-Talking about support, let's talk about Ed Sheeran.

He's had a bit to do with your career as well, hasn't he?

Yeah, he's lovely. Gingers, we've got to look after each other.

Don't make me laugh again, please! I just got over it, come on!

He's a great lad. I met him in Ireland,

and we just sat around in a circle, all of us, just playing guitar,

and we passed the guitar around.

Yeah, it was cool, and he got me into playing Croke Park in Dublin,

which is kind of like Wembley, here.

That's huge. 80,000 people.

I was very nervous. It was good, though.

Yeah, it was fun.

Are you touring, now? Are you touring at the moment?

-You're laughing...

-No, you're laughing!

I'll be touring in April. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Touring in April in the UK, start of April.

We're so excited, you're singing for us later on,

which is actually a TV exclusive, isn't it?

Yeah, first time I've ever played it on TV, so I'm chuffed.

We can't wait. I saw the rehearsals and it was just beautiful.

-So, Gavin, thank you.

-Thanks for having me.

-Gavin James, everybody.

-CHEERING

Now, Red Nose Day is just around the corner and, of course,

we're all doing our bit to get involved,

and it's so important,

because some children around the world

really need our help, because they find themselves

in a very tough situation.

Have a look at this.

This year, Red Nose Day have made two films,

showing how their work helps people living in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

These films are being shown in schools up and down the country,

so I've brought them to this one for a very special screening.

First up, it's Hassan's story.

So, Hassan's 12 and we are going to have a look at his story, now.

Let's have a little watch.

My name is Hassan.

I am 12 years old.

These are my friends.

CHEERING

I used to live with my mum,

my older brother

and my sisters.

Our family was happy.

People in my neighbourhood started getting sick.

One woman was taken to hospital and they said she had Ebola.

It made me feel scared,

in case me or any of my family got it,

because if anyone I knew got it,

I might not be able to see them again.

They taped off our street for 21 days.

There were soldiers stopping us from leaving,

and anyone from coming in.

They closed my school.

Nothing was open except the hospital.

If my school was shut,

I'd just be sad that I wouldn't be able to do my dream,

cos I wouldn't have the education

and I wouldn't be able to see my friends.

I stayed at home, doing nothing.

It wasn't long before my mum fell ill.

An ambulance came to take my mum away

and I never saw her again.

After nine months, Hassan's school reopened.

And, thanks to money raised by Red Nose Day,

a project supporting children affected by Ebola

has been able to help Hassan and others continue their education.

He is now back in school with his friends.

NASALLY: Thank you.

LAUGHTER

So, after hearing Hassan's story, how do you feel?

It makes me feel sad at the start,

because of what happened to his village,

but then happy at the ending,

because Red Nose Day changed his life.

I think he was so brave, because it must be really hard

to deal with, you know, not going to school,

not having any friends to talk to and play with.

So, this next film about Ikmatu.

So, let's take a look at her story.

Hi, my name is Ikmatu.

I am from Sierra Leone,

Freetown, Moa Bay community slum.

I am 16 years old.

I love my community because we come together, work as one.

My family are here, and also my friends.

As a peer educator, I advise people

on how to take care of their environment

and I clean the streets.

We are cleaning our environment so that we can't catch diseases.

I am the boss today.

Let's do the work faster.

It's quite dirty,

but they are helping to clean it and keep the diseases away.

However hard the work is, we will manage.

We will do it so that our community stays free from disease.

Everyone likes to work together as one.

I think that's a really good skill to have.

I became a volunteer peer educator during the Ebola outbreak

because I saw that the adults were afraid.

I had to be brave and talk to people calmly

to raise awareness about hygiene during Ebola.

Her community nearly got wiped out,

and I thought that she was really brave, that she stood up.

If nobody had acted,

everyone in my community would have been wiped out.

Red Nose Day allowed Ikmatu to do something

and help organise those around her tackle Ebola.

This work has made my future bright

and has made me determined to do more.

LAUGHTER

Why you think it's so important that Red Nose Day gets involved

and helps people and communities like Ikmatu's?

Because it helps them have a better future,

to live in a cleaner place,

and all the younger children will grow up

in a happy and safe environment.

It can make the difference of who lives and who doesn't.

Over the past few weeks, you've been busy sending us

your favourite jokes and pledging what you will be doing

to support this year's Red Nose Day.

What do you call a flying penguin?

Unusual.

What's the best Christmas present?

A drum.

You can't beat it.

If you've been inspired...

..to get involved...

..download this form...

..from the Blue Peter website.

Tell us your three favourite jokes...

..and what you're doing...

..to support Red Nose Day.

Yeah - what they said.

ALL: Make your laugh matter!

And speaking of Comic Relief, on Saturday,

Barney will be travelling from Manchester down to London,

trying to tell as many people his favourite joke.

In fact, HIS joke.

-See if you can see him and say hello.

-That's right.

But now, with his brand-new single, it is the amazing Gavin James.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I don't know why

# I don't want anybody else but you

# No-one can ever add up to

# What you are

# Simple words

# That I can never say to you

# Things that I can never do

# When I was younger

# But I don't know

# Which way the wind blows

# But I know I'll be all right

# And I don't know

# If you think I'm crazy

# But if you say maybe, I...

# I'd say love don't wait in line

# No, love don't wait in line

# If I say

# That I don't care what you do with him

# If every time I lose, you win

# Then I'd be lying

# But I'd better learn

# Oh, I'd better learn to sink or swim

# Cos the pieces of my heart are getting dim

# But I'll find the light

# But I don't know

# Which way the wind blows

# But I know I'll be all right

# And I don't know

# If you think I'm crazy

# But if you say maybe, I...

# I'd say love don't wait in line

# No, love don't wait in line

# No

# Oh, oh, oh, oh

# Oh, oh, oh

# Oh, the times, they change

# And our lives they rearrange

# We were just a burning flame

# With bad timing

# Oh, but love don't wait in line

# No, love don't wait in line. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Incredible.

-Wow. Gavin, come on over.

That was absolutely beautiful.

Thank you very much, cheers.

Before you go, can you just tell us who the Spot Shelley winner is?

I've got it.

-Blue Violet Mini-Baker has won.

-Yay!

She was hiding on the...

There you go, on the totaliser. She's so cheeky.

-Thank you so much for coming in today.

-Thank you.

That's all we've got time for on today's show.

Make sure you're watching next week.

That's right. Barney is going to be looking for the perfect joke

with his fave comedian, Peter Kay.

-I'm going to finish on a joke.

-Go on.

What do you call a pop star that floats?

BUOY-ANCE!

Woeful. SHE LAUGHS
