Coming up on Blue Peter: Marriage Act are here with a sparkling | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
experiment to show you. It is absolutely genius. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
2013 will be the year of these guys are. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
And you'll get pitch side access to the first of my Magnificent 7 | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
:00:46. | :01:03. | ||
challenges for Red Nose Day. Find Hello! How are you doing? You are | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
watching Blue Peter. We have two CBBC legends on the | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
:01:17. | :01:31. | ||
I do not find that very funny! The world is a better place when | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Dick and Dom on the telly. They have a brand new show, Absolute | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Genius. It takes a revolutionary look at some onions. Last night it | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :01:59. | ||
was Isaac Newton. Let's have a look They are with us now in the studio! | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
How are you? We are fine. It is good to be on one of the best shows | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
on CBBC! If we will pay you later! Last night we were talking about | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
Isaac Newton and how he defined the law of gravity. You tested this in | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
a centrifuge. It was pretty remarkable! Talk us through what is | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
going through your head. Mr Floppy face! It is like when you go on a | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
roller coaster. That feeling you experience for two seconds carried | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
on for 10 minute and it was horrific. It was really, really | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
horrible. G force is strange, like being squashed by an invisible | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
force. It was horrible but it proved a lot. Much like Blue Peter | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
where we take on challenges, you are never one to stand on the | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
sidelines, so you took part in the wall of death. Let's have girl | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
look! A motorbike that goes vertically a round a wall. They did | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
not tell me that it went straight up onto the wall without me knowing. | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
It was horrible! You don't go up the wall, you went on the skirting | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
board. Did you tell him to get you back down? Yes! Anything that goes | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
round and round, makes you dizzy. I am with you on that. Obviously the | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
brains in this show do not belong to you. You have got the looks. In | :03:32. | :03:42. | |
:03:42. | :03:43. | ||
fact, no! We have Fran! You get a very own Blue Peter bad because it | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
is your first time on Blue Peter. Next week, the show is about | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
Michael Faraday. He pie in the it electromagnetism. This involves you | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
doing some unique experiments -- he was a pioneer of electromagnetism. | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
We thought he better to put in at the Michael Faraday cage and Dick? | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
So we fired three-quarters of a million volts at his head. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Basically, you had electricity fired at your head? It was in the | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
contract! We have to! It was a good way of understanding all of the | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
theories and principle for us through it demonstrations led by | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
Fran. Exactly. -- peers and principles through demonstrations. | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
It was quite dangerous. Don't try it at home. Definitely. We can test | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
electromagnetism here. In a nutshell? There is a relationship | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
between magnetism and electricity. You can run electricity through a | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
wire and that becomes a magnet. But Michael Faraday realised it was | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
more than that. What he realised was if you turn a wire around a | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
magnet, you get electricity in that wire. You generate electricity. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
great thing about Fran is she translates all of the signs that | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
would normally confuse you and makes it easy to learn. Today is no | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
different. Fran, take your position between the two bikes because we | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
Can we please get a minute on the clock. We have attached to the back | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
wheel of each of these a generator. They will pedal fast and we will | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
try to light up the light bulbs. We will start with the first run and | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
try to generate enough power to light all six lightbulbs. 60 watts, | :05:55. | :06:03. | |
that is 360 watts in total. Quite difficult. Who will win? Dick and | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
:06:13. | :06:36. | ||
That's is not enough to power your Unbelievable! The that was | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
:06:46. | :06:46. | ||
incredible. In that experience, Dom, you felt miserable. I have little | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
legs! There is quite a lot of electricity there but it is fair to | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
say it takes a lot of energy to produce not a lot of energy. Yes. | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
We had 360 watts. A person cannot generate enough electricity to boil | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
a kettle. That is a shame because we could do with a cup of tea. Stay | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
with us. We are live. If there is anything | :07:11. | :07:20. | |
you want to ask Dick and Dom, you You can ask them anything you like. | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Red Nose Day is on the horizon. This year for comic relief, I am | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
going to be doing seven challenges to inspire you to raise money for a | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
fantastic cause. I did my first one on Saturday at Twickenham in front | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
of a packed crowd of England and Scotland fans. It was going to be | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
loud! In five days' time, I will attempt | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
to kick a conversion at Twickenham in front of tens of thousands of | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
fanatical rugby fans. I don't know anything about rugby but I have got | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
a trip up my sleeve. I am engaged to this guy and luckily for me, he | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
plays rugby league, with these guys. I have come to Warrington Wolves, | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
to be introduced to the world of rugby. I am about to see what I | :08:12. | :08:22. | |
:08:22. | :08:27. | ||
That was a bad one. I don't think she has got a good chance to be | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
honest of getting a conversion. or laughing at me already! She is | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
doing her best. Hopefully she can keep it going. It has been a mixed | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
start but I clearly have a lot of work to do. If you go further back, | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
you get giddy and start jumping up and down. Because I am nervous! | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
:09:00. | :09:00. | ||
Take it slowly. If I slowed down, if I focus... Exactly. You think I | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
can do it? Yes. He has to say that. He is my fiancee. In three days I | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
have to attempt to kick that ball in Twickenham. I think Ritchie made | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
a fair point, I do need to concentrate. That is why I am here | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
today for some extra help and I don't think there is any messing | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
with this guy. Saracens fly-half, Charlie Hodgson. Premiership | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
leading goalscorer. He is no stranger to Twickenham. Let's see | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
if he can get my boots into shape. That is what I need to be able to | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
do! Hello. Excited? I feel a bit sick if I am honest. I really want | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
to be able to do it but I have to do it in three days. Hopefully you | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
will be fine by the weekend. Where do we start? | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
A little run two warm-up and stretches and then I am ready for | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
my kicking lessons. The first tip is not to place the ball on the tee. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
People have different tactics. I have mine up right. Which will make | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
it goes further? At the front. will have a go at that. I feel it | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
is sitting higher so I can kick it. Line up the themes when you are | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
kicking it, in the direction you want it to go. -- this seems. Point | :10:29. | :10:39. | |
your foot. There. Which bit of the ball and I hitting? The bottom, so | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
:10:49. | :10:50. | ||
you can get the elevation. This inside part of the ball. And now | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
your approach to the ball. 45 degrees. I think I should do that | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
to maintain my concentration. Looking forward, the sideways three | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
steps to get my 45 degrees, and then run at it. Nearly! So close. | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:32. | ||
Try again. But not close enough, so Yes! It is a bit hit and miss. I | :11:32. | :11:40. | |
get a bit distracted. Focus. You do one enemy forget about what you are | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
trying to do. I am nervous. -- you do one and then you forget. These | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
guides a rugby-mad and knows something's about kicking. | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Hopefully they can help me and get some tips from a top rugby star. | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
:12:06. | :12:07. | ||
Get some power on the ball. I have kicked a lot today but I am fairly | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
pleased, but no where near prepared. Be if I was at home I would be | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
terrified, but I think she can do it. Mental strength is a huge part | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
of this game that so how did Charlie cope in front of thousands | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
of people? It is difficult. You have to try to block it out and | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
concentrate on what you are doing. At the Six Nations, everybody is | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
excited. In your experience of the fans, what will they be like at | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
half-time? You will be all right. It depends if you get it over! You | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
might get a bit of stick! I am sure you will get enough support. | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
thank you so much for your help today. I will Endeavour to not let | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
you down on Saturday. As long as she focuses on the tips I have | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
given her and she concentrates on those each time she approaches the | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
ball, she should be far line. all starts this weekend when I will | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
be attempting to kick one of these. Even after the live show, I am a | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
practising. Rugby has taken over my life this week. | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
Three steps back. 3 to the side. That is terrible! | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
And Twickenham is only two days away. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
It is such an amazing thing to do. Not only is Ritchie an amazing | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
player, but you've got to play with professional rugby players! | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
Amazing! I took it too seriously. That is not like you. I am | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
competitive and I was getting stressed out. You can find out how | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
I got on later in the show. Helen. You are a pig and I am a goat. | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
According to the Chinese Zodiac. Because this weekend sees the start | :14:10. | :14:20. | |
:14:20. | :14:25. | ||
Chinese New Year celebrations usually last for 15 days. It is | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
currently the year of the dragon. But on Sunday it is the turn of the | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
snake. If you are a snake, its 41 mysterious, intuitive, have a good | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
temper and a good at communicating. Famous snakes include Daniel | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
Radcliffe and Dani Harmer. This is Blue Peter, so of course we've got | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
some snakes in the studio! I've just remembered, I've got a dentist | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
appointment. Look who's over here, it's Blowfish. What have we got | :14:59. | :15:08. | |
here? These are some corn snakes. They are only little. Are they | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
venomous? No, they are not, and they are so cute. Why are they | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
different colours if they are the same type of snake? They are kind | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
of like cats and dogs. We've bred them to have these colours. As far | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
as snakes to day go, I think I have it would snake here! These are just | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
little babies compared to what we are going to get up to. This one is | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
going down my top. Its blending in! There we go. We and we found out | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
you were coming in, we found out about what these guys eat. | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
Apparently... They eat Helen! eat rodents. Look at the size of | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
:16:01. | :16:02. | ||
them. That is some snack! Rodents are small-fry to these guys. This | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
is a milk snake. He could be really quite nasty. Look at the banding, | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
you might think, venomous snake. He's a beautiful colour. There's an | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
old rhyme that we can remember to prove that this snake is safe. Read | :16:19. | :16:28. | |
in yellow, venom lack. Read then yellow, will kill a fellow. We are | :16:28. | :16:36. | |
still talking small-fry. We need to a bit of it. This is a real stake. | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
This is a reticulated python. This, essentially, is the longest snake | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
on the planet. How long do they get? There's one in Oregon that is | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
:16:58. | :17:03. | ||
They are cracking beasts. What does reticulated mean? It refers to the | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
pattern on it. It means net like. It's wonderful camouflage. They | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
have beautiful skin and they feel so smooth. You expect them to be | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
slimy but they are not. Yes, they are very dry. They are gorgeous. I | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
like how they get their names. you look at a pattern on the corn, | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
it's exactly the same as the pattern on... Look at that. This | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
python is hissing, do I need to be worried? No, she's fine, just | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
checking it out. The front of this snake has something very clever. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
Around the lips of its mouth it has heat sensitive areas. They are | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
picking up infra-red radiation. It's the same thing you see in the | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
movies when someone puts on special goggles and they can see the | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
outlines. This may punts in exactly the same way. They are clever | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
creatures. Thank you for bringing these guys in. I'm going to borrow | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
this guy for a minute. At the weekend, I entered my very own that | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
snake pit. I went to Twickenham. It was one of the first matches of the | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
Six Nations, between England and France. It was the place that I was | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
to take on my first challenge. I'm doing seven challenges ahead of Red | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Nose Day. My first one was to attempt to kick a penalty at half- | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
:18:42. | :18:43. | ||
I have been having sleepless nights about this all week. This is | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
massive, this is exciting. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
am so nervous, because I don't want to mark it up. I'm completely | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
freaking out. I think I'm more nervous about this than I was about | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
the high wire. The nerves are really starting to take over. It's | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
:19:11. | :19:11. | ||
It's the morning of the game, so in a few hours, I will attempt to kick | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
this ball over that far. It definitely looks higher for some | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
reason in this stadium. I'm excited. Of course I'm nervous, I didn't | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
sleep much last night, but I feel like the stage has been set, so I | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
can feel the anticipation rising. I'm going to make the most of this | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
positive feeling. As Twickenham gets ready for the Six Nations | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
match between England and Scotland, the players are warming up, and are | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
led by their fitness coach, Bobby. To take my mind up my daunting task, | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
I'm going to find out how a professional rugby player prepares | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
professional rugby player prepares for a big match. A few hours from | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
kick-off, what will the players be doing now to get match ready? | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
will eat twice, chicken breasts today and a plate of pasta as well. | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
Three or four chicken breasts? I don't have that in a week! How much | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
will they run around? Eight or nine kilometres. Fluid is really | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
important. How much will they sweat during the game? They will lose up | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
to three litres of fluid. One litre of fluid is a kilo, so that's two- | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
and-a-half to three kilos. Should I be drinking loads to get ready? | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
you should be topping up. The it's a bit too late! As kick-off | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
approaches, the crowds gather. My support arrives to give me some | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
inspiration. As we take our seats, I try my best to enjoy the first | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
:20:50. | :20:59. | ||
That's it, easy peasy. I'll just do that. It's nearly half time, so the | :20:59. | :21:08. | |
team give me some final tips. I'm absolutely freaking out. I did it | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
loads of times in training. You did. Just aim at the scoreboard. Try and | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
hit the number six. That's my cue, and the commentator is keeping a | :21:19. | :21:29. | |
:21:29. | :21:31. | ||
This is Cumbria's finest. I'm here with Chris Paterson, one of the | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
:21:41. | :22:01. | ||
finest figures in the game of rugby, Oh, I think she's just gone left! | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
I'm absolutely gutted. I've done it a million times. Why couldn't I do | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
it that time? I'm freaking out, I don't like it. You were so close! | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
I'm gutted, but that's just the kind of person I am. I think I can | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
look back and say, guess what, at least we went out there and had a | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
go. You could do something amazing That was so close, but hopefully it | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
will inspire you to do something sporty and raise money for Comic | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Relief. You could get sponsored to kick as many conversions as you can | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
in five minutes. If football is more your thing, ask someone to be | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
goalie for an hour. You could get sponsored to score to save. You | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
might prefer getting wet, so why not put your goggles on and get | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
sponsored for each lot you swim at your local pool. Even better, get | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
your friends to be part of a swimming relay, because more splash | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
means more cash. Checkout the Blue Peter website but details of how to | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
pay in the money you braced. I'm not sure whether it's the slow | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
motion or the dramatic music that goes with it, but that was so close. | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
It was so good to watch but... It doesn't matter, 80,000 people, you | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
went out there and did it. I think you did a great job. I was so | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
nervous, but this is to inspire you to do something for Comic Relief. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |

what you're doing next. I'm going to be heading to the West End in | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
London to attempt to be in two West End shows in one evening. He's | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
laughing. Listen to this. Beautiful! What a voice! I cannot | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
sing. We've spent so many car journeys together when Helen starts | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
to entertain by starting singing. I'd rather walk! Let's go over to | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
two guys who've got beautiful voices in their own unique way. | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
They are answering your questions. They are not alone. We have a group | :24:14. | :24:24. | |
:24:24. | :24:29. | ||
of children here from a science Would you like to go ahead with the | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
first question, Ben? Who ruined the most experiments? That was probably | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
me. I did went out of quite a few things. I wouldn't go underneath a | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
bridge. There was this box hanging underneath a bridge which was about | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
300 ft off the ground. I wouldn't go under bat. I didn't go in the | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
centrifuge. I ruined the series. is pathetic. I had to do it all | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
myself. You started to give it a go. No, I didn't. The Clifton | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
Suspension Bridge - no! He's just there with his own like that, | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
whilst I'm hanging under a suspension bridge. We will never | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
make Blue Peter presenters, put it that way. Who was your favourite | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
genius? I think it was a guy called Basil jet. He created something | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
that we all use but we don't know it, which is the underground sewer | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
system. The London sewer system. There's miles of pipes underneath | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
London. So when you flush the toilet or go in the Shayler, that's | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
where it all goes. You went down to have a look at it. Yes, we did. | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
It's smelly! The smell when you go down there, what would you think it | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
smells like down there? Don't be rude! It is congealed fat. You are | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
not meant to take that down the plughole. It goes down there, it | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
sticks all over and it stinks. People have to scrape it off. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
Ridley says, what's it like having to do dangerous things on TV? | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
would know. It's great. The great thing about the job, as you guys | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
know, is what you get to do some incredible things that you would | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
never get to do at any other point in your career. They might be | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
dangerous, health and safety is all set up. I did do the Faraday cage. | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
That was probably one of the most dangerous things we did in the | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
series. I would never have done that, but you did it. Effectively | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
it is fair to say that date wins on that one. Thanks for coming in. | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
