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.

Let us know what you're going to do ahead of this Red Nose Day. Visit

:23:30.:23:33.

the website, there's loads more the website, there's loads more

:23:34.:23:36.

ideas and everything you need to know about Red Nose Day. Tell them

:23:36.:23:42.

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.
