Doctor Who - Blue Peter Party Blue Peter

The day is finally upon us. We are celebrating the Doctor's fiftieth

anniversary and style. Welcome to the Blue Peter Doctor Who party. We

will be showing you how to make these epic Dalek cupcakes that you

can feast on with all your friends. That is happening here right now, on

today's very special Blue Peter. APPLAUSE How

are you? Welcome to the show. Let's make it official. Everybody. It's so

good to see you. Welcome to the Blue Peter Doctor Who party!

Of course, because of the party, it wouldn't be complete without all of

our friends here to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.

That is what I am talking about. We've got a jam-packed show for you

today. We're going to bring to life the alien you designed on last

week's show. That's right. On Thursday, you sent all your funny,

imaginative, and creative designs in to make an alien. That was changed

into a sketch by our Dr Who story board artist. Keep watching,

because, later in the show, that sketch is going to come to life.

We would like to call him or her something else. We want a name. We

are a live show, so get in touch: Something

you've been getting excited about is our Doctor Who competition that we

launched on Thursday. All the details for that are on our website:

Make sure you

competition really is incredible. You get the chance to design a sonic

gadget for the crime-fighting trio in Victorian London. Whether you

want to include Strax, Madame Vastra or Jenny Flint, get involved. That

will be included next year, in 2014. We've probably got the biggest fan

in the studio right now to give us an update on the competition, it is

CBBC's Mr Chris Johnson! Thank you for having me. You're a

Doctor Who super fan? Yes, And you're on the judging panel for the

competition. How excited are you on a scale of one to ten? 11. Very

excited about this. It is a brilliant opportunity. To take part,

it is historical enough. If your gadget makes it into the show, you

have unlimited bragging rights to the end of time and beyond. And your

respect. Of course! In terms of your favourite sonic gadget of all time,

what would it be? There's been quite a few. I am a fan of Mis Foster's

sonic pen, which was in Partners in Crime. It has the features of a

sonic device and it is a pen. You stuff it in your pocket. It is

brilliant. It is a tough decision for the viewers. They've got to find

one gadget for one of the characters. They're different, are

not they? Very different. A few tips. Jenny gets stuck into the

missions, she goes under cover and stuff like that. So a gadget that

looks like an ordinary object, perhaps. Something she could carry

on her easily. So it can be disguised in her outfit? As for

Madame vase as for Madame Vastra she's a classy. Very elegant look.

As for Strax, no need to be subtle. He's the most bombastic character in

the show. He has two big fingers as well, so think about that. That is a

top tip there from the pro himself, Chris Johnson. It is a tough

decision, and it is yours at home. If you're struggling to decide who

you want to make your sonic gadget for, fear not, because here's here's

a guide to all the characters on Paternoster Row.

Madame Vastra is a lizard, she was in hibernation deep under the Earth.

The tube woke her up. That's how she and the Doctor met. She lives in

Victorian London with Jenny and Strax and has the nickname of The

Great Detective. Strax is a Sontaran, who is an enemy race.

Strax is one of the Doctor's am lies.

Strax is easily confused. Strax lives with Madame Vastra and Jenny

in the late 19th century. They fight crime, solve mysteries, and he has

become Madame Vastra's Butler. Jenny is a Cockney Victorian maid. I

don't know why you put up with me. She is married to Madame Vastra who

is the Silurian lizard. Jenny is the only human. Madame Vastra has taught

her all the sword fighting and the judo moves.

See you around, I shouldn't wonder. APPLAUSE

Every performance APPLAUSE

gets a round of applause here today. Let's talk about the rules here. It

is important you stick to them. It is one design for one character. The

closing date is 2 December at 12 noon. To give you a bit of a heads

up, head over to the website. All the terms and conditions are on

there. Stick to the rules. I love to be able to to go behind the scenes

of my favourite movies and TV shows, a cool thing to get that insight.

When I got the chance to go behind the scenes on the 50th anniversary

special, of course, I jumped at the chance. I jumped in the air, I was

that excited! Here's what happened when I had a very special trip to

London. So the fiftieth anniversary, what do

we know so far? Not a lot, really. We know Matt Smith is in it, and

David Tennant is back. And there is a mysterious dark Doctor, too. Back

in April, Trafalgar Square played host to the Doctor Who team when

they turned up to film a big scene for the 50th anniversary special.

The Doctor was hanging beneath a huge crane. I don't think they want

me to go the whole 90 feet which I want to do because I will get to see

all of London, and it will be cool. Matt had a harness, so he was hooked

underneath. I had to be belted and hooked into the TARDIS as well. It

was hard to keep this bit of the 50th anniversary secret because

large crowds up. What is filmed here is only a small part of what makes

it on screen. The rest is down to visual effects.

Okay, fine, the Blue Peter special effects are not that brilliant, but

that's why I am here! I am about to meet the visual effects team on

Doctor Who. This is where the special is put

into Doctor Who's special effects. This filmed the Dalek parliament

with thousands of Daleks when there were only ten there. They've helped

the Doctor ride a dinosaur on the spaceship.

Murray is the supervisor. Thanks for having us. A pleasure. This must be

the scene where the helicopter goes over with the Doctor clinging to the

TARDIS. We get a script, the story board from the director. You can see

here Nelson column is in the centre. We have the helicopter flying around

it. With the arrows on the story board we can tell which direction

the helicopter is to go in. This isn't a picture, this is the shot he

actually wants to see in very basic form? Yes. To realise the director's

vision of a TARDISing pulled across London, the first step is to build a

three D TARDIS. This is Neil, one of our animators. Neil makes the

graphics move realistically. This is like a CGI version of Matt Smith. He

is hanging out the bottom of the TARDIS because the shot is hundreds

of feet above the Thames. They can't put a real Matt Smith in there. We

animated him waving his arms around. You're effectively stop-motion

animation where you make a slight movement every frame? Yes. If I

wanted to have a go at this? Yes, of course you can.

So if you press S. That saves the position of the arm. Move

forwardfour frames, and then you move his arm back. And then you move

it on a few frames. And then you move back again. Move it back the

other way. I got out the Doctor's way. You've

animated a little wave. How long is the sequence? Three seconds long.

How long would it take you to animate this? It would take us about

two days to animate. Two days for something that small? Yes. It is

amazing. Once the something that small? Yes. It is

the final stage is to put the computer-generated elements together

with the actual footage shot on location, which is where Murray

comes in. We know this TARDIS lands on Trafalgar Square. How do you

combine computer-generated elements together with the footage shot on

location? We shot our helicopter. Then we shot our stuntman hanging

from the TARDIS. That is a real person? Yes, on a very big crane,

and then we put them all together. What I love about this, it is not

just one guy sitting at a computer, this is the effort of lots of

different people coming together with loads of different skills and

they can create something that looks so believable and amazing as that.

You're going to love this episode. Rather than watching it here, why

not watching it on your TV screens! APPLAUSE it

deserves the cheers. That clip you saw there is an exclusive preview of

tonight's episode. No-one had seen it until just then. Make sure you

watch the rest of the episode. It's amazing. Just as amazing as our big

bad wall full of Doctor Who stuff. You've been sending in so many

things Time Lord related. This is one of my favourites from Joseph. He

is from Burton upon Trent. He sent in the Doctor Who stamp with the

dates. My favourite has to be from Emma from county Derry. She has

drawn a Dalek laughing at Emma from county Derry. She has

one has been sent in from Alice in improvement poowy S. That could be

you and me? Yes. I Would love to be the new Doctor. It's not just the

board we can show you stuff on, we've got technology in the studio.

We have. If you missed the Blue Pete Doctor Who Special, you can catch up

on the BBC iPlayer. If you're watching on Thursday, I interviewed

Jenna Coleman. There is another interview on the website which you

haven't seen on the show. It is all unseen footage. Go and check it out.

When you found out I was getting to meet the Doctor, Matt Smith in the

TARDIS, over TARDIS, over 1,700 of you asked me questions. I am here on

the set of Doctor Who in Cardiff. Fans know this is the entrance to

the TARDIS. I am going to meet Matt Smith!

It's called the TARDIS. It can travel anywhere in time and space.

And it is mine. Hello. Lovely to meet you. Lovely to meet you. How

are you? I am very excited to be here. I've been given my new Blue

Peter badge because I lost my old one because I am an idiot. What is

it actually like to be the Doctor? I don't know, really. It's sort of

magic! What is a day in the office. I wake up about half-past six, I get

to work at seven, I have some breakfast at quarter-past seven. Go

into make-up and costume, and then we shoot through until one, have

your lunch, one until two, and then you shoot through until 7 o'clock.

That is it. If you're working, doing a night shoot, you might start that

day at 7 o'clock in the evening and work until

day at 7 o'clock in the evening and You might be out in

day at 7 o'clock in the evening and might be in the TARDIS playing with

all the stuff. It is a mad, varied life.

I know, dinosaurs! On a spaceship! To celebrate the fiftieth

anniversary of Doctor Who, we told the viewers we would be interviewing

you, and we asked them the questions they would most like to ask you.

Wow. Up for answering them? Hit me. What has been your favourite Doctor

Who adventure and why? Christmas Carol was great, and Vincent and the

Doctor, and the 11th hour, because I think it's a brilliant piece of

writing. What is your favourite Doctor Who monster? Good question.

My favourite Doctor Who monster is the whooping angel. Crimson super

ladybird says what scene was the most emotional or difficult to film?

I think one of the most emotional was when Carol and Arthur left, and

we were in Manhattan, and we were in a cold graveyard. It was just a very

difficult day shooting. Please, come back into the TARDIS.

It was emotional because it was Karen's last stand, and she's a good

friend, and seeing her go was sad. If you could travel anywhere in the

TARDIS, where would you go, and why? I would go and pick up Frank

Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, watch dinosaurs, and sit in those boats in

the ocean, and see mad, huge deign Sawyer fish, and then

the ocean, and see mad, huge deign England watch the World Cup in 1966.

What about your best tips to be an actor or actress? Maybe to apply for

the National Youth Theatre. That's a good platform. They give you a good

environment to practise and learn, and be inventive and express

yourself. Read as many plays as you can. Watch as many good actors as

you can. Practise as much as you can. Go and make things with your

friends. It is practise, practise, practise. It is like being a great

sportsman - the more you practise, the better you get. What is the

highlight of being the 11th Doctor? The friends I've made at work

because we have a wonderful crew, and I've made friends for life. I

think that's a wonderful thing to take away from any experience.

Fantastic. Thank you very much, it's been an

absolute pleasure. Thanks for having me on Blue Peter. To everyone at

home, enjoy Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. It's going to be a

belter! I am going to head off home now because ultimately I need - it's

a need - it's weeping angel. It means I can't blink!

Don't worry, nobody was hurt. Favourite Doctor? David Tennant.

Matt Smith. Say hello to Poppy, Jack, Sarah and will. High five,

ten, two, one! It is a Doctor Who make. We will be

making a big chocolatey treat which will send you mad. It's called a

extermi-bake. No-one First thing you need to sort out are

your ingredients. You need big muffins, and some little cakes, like

the sort of cupcake things that you can get. This stuff is called butter

icing. We've got chocolate butter icing because it is rich in

chocolate and we like it a lot. You need big large chocolate buttons,

chocolate tea cakes, and some more butter icing. I will talk you

through the decorating when we get there. So you need to take your big

muffins, and you want to cut the tops off. Poppy, do you want to do

this for me? Nice and carefully. You want to get a nice flat edge and

turn it upside-down. That's going to give us the bottom of the Dalek. You

need this, it is the little cupcake. That's going to go on top. It is

going to be upside-down to make the right shape. This is where the

butter icing comes in handy. It's like the glue, you can eat it.

Spread that on top of your muffin. Spread another one on top of it like

that. Make as much mess as you like. We're not tidying up. The idea is to

put some chocolate around the outside of it too so it looks like

this. Jack, you know what you're doing because you can see chocolate

and you're going for it like a cat goes for cheese. Take your buttons -

cats like cheese. Right? You know what you're doing. It is dead easy

because you've got a Dalek for reference here in the studio. This

is the head part. You need to make it in layers like this. If you don't

have your Dalek at home, you can watch the show, and we will show you

how to do it. Stick your button on top of that. You're being very

delicate, Jack. You can make the butter cream from scratch if you

want to, but we are cheating because it is quicker.

You can also make your own cakes, but we've cheated there as well, but

you can do whatever you want. You know how creative you are. It's a

proper stack. You've know how creative you are. It's a

cake on top. Beautiful. Now it is time to decorate. There's

cake on top. Beautiful. Now it is shop. There is a Dalek that you can

help to decorate. Let's talk about your autograph you got from David

Tennant. How did you get that? I sent him a letter, and then he gave

me an autograph back. That's pretty amazing, isn't it? Yes. Did you give

him money! No, just sent it! Doctors are so nice! If you're looking for

tips and ideas what to do with the decoration, do it like a Dalek: you

can do a row of four. We're next going to look the a the

most feared weapon - the plungers. You need tin foil, cocktail sticks.

Wrap them in tin foil. You've got little marshmallows that you get on

coffee sometimes, and we've got these jelly sweets as well. Those

are for the beacons on top. Someone thought they were ears! They get

stuck on with the butter cream once they've been stuck into the Daleks.

How are you going? Good. If you do make one, you can send us a picture.

That would be lovely. Or send us the cake! Are we not allowed to do that!

Please, send me cake. I want cake! How are we doing? It's dead simple

but really good fun as well. What I find hard is not eating the

chocolate. I am being so controlled right now. That's what I came here

for - the eating part! All the details Mr On the website. You've

smashed it out the park. Yes, you have indeed. And, thank you guys,

for coming in. You've been awesome today, but Doctor Who is actually

anywhere in the world. It is those kinds of surprised faces which is

why I told you. It is fans from Salford to Singapore, so the 50th

anniversary episode is a pretty big deal. Check this out.

Since 1963, for a whopping 50 years, Doctor Who has filled the hearts and

screens of the nation. It is not just the UK who will be watching the

special anniversary episode. The rest of the world is waiting to

watch too. The The Day of the Doctor will

transmit to 80 countries at exactly the same time. Doctor Who began its

quest to take over the world in 1964 when New Zealand became the first

country outside of the UK to show the first series. Earlier this year,

all the way over in Africa, nine Doctor Who episodes thought to be

missing forever from the BBC archives were found in a Nigerian TV

station. At one point, over 100 episodes were missing from the BBC

archives, and, in 2006, Blue Peter even made an appeal to help find the

missing tapes. If you can find one, we will be sending you a life-sized

Dalek of your very own. Very scary, but very cool. Good luck with the

search. In 1996, Doctor Who stormed our

screens with the new Doctor and a TV movie. Produced and filmed in

Canada, this was the first Doctor Who production made completely

outside of the UK. Australia had a key role in the

origins of Doctor Who. The iconic Doctor theme music was written by an

Australian musician, Ron Grainer. Furthermore, in 1967, Doctor Who

televised its one and only episode with an Australian setting, the

Enemy of the World. So, when you're hiding behind your cushions watching

The Day of the Doctor, it's quite likely the rest of

too. APPLAUSE

too. I love that! That is why it is the

longest running TV sci-fi series. Now time for an exciting part,

because if you cast your minds back to Thursday, you remember we asked

you to get in touch and give us your funny, imaginative and creative

ideas to make your very own unique alien. Then a storey board artist

changed your ideas into a sketch. You're going to get to see that

alien come to life in the Blue Peter studio. For this, the fiftieth

anniversary Special, we have our own Blue Peter alien. Welcome to the

studio! Look at that! Really, really scary.

I like how big it is. Look at the seven eyes on its head. It's got the

horns that you asked for, it's got a lot of fluff. I like it. This is

something you designed. If you got in touch and put your ideas forward,

and your idea was used, you will see your name scrolling on the bottom of

the screen. Thank you to Sean Williams our storey board artist who

made some of this possible with all the ideas, and to Katy because she

made this costume in 24 hours. Unbelievable. Thank you to all of

you getting at home making this possible. We couldn't have done it

without you. Time flies when you're having fun. Especially when you've

got a TARDIS. Can I keep the TARDIS? No! Now, it is almost time for the

end of the show, but before we do, we have time to read some of your

e-mails and comments you've been sending in. At the beginning you to

tell us what would your alien be called and where would it be froould

it be from? "Static lemon". It should be called the Watcher

it be from? "Static lemon". It Planet Evilius. Is

it be from? "Static lemon". It name? Yes, seven eyes! Okay, Indigo

Blowing Potato. The Looker, because of its eyes. Then says I think it

should be a marsh-up of Barney, Lindsey, and Radzy's names, so Peter

remember it's a Blue Peter alien, so it is Barladzy!

One thing I thought when I saw it was Barlazy. I think it should be

called Zanfrak It should be called Zappatron. Apparently, that is a

small town on the planet Paintol. And then Bull Rinks from one of

Jupiter's Moons. Blue Peter viewers are on the money today. That is all

we've got time for today. However, the Doctor Who episode is at 7.50

tonight on BBC one Please be there, watch it. It is going to be awesome,

coming up on next week's show, here it is. . We've got the War Horse

puppet in the studio. You love her, we love her, everybody loves her, it

is Shelley the tortoise going into hibernation, if you can catch her.

Find out what happened when I took part in a power boat film. Yes,

you've heard of jet boat Barney on the game, this is real jet boat

Barney. We pushed the boat out with this one! We will be back here at

normal on Thursday at 5.30. Bye-bye! Hi guys, Jenny here with the

headlines this Saturday. And Dr
