I have a question. What would you like from today's show?

6:30:016:30:03

Like to see Lindsey and I race horse carriages?

6:30:036:30:05

Would you like to know how to make your very own tin face tidy?

6:30:056:30:08

I like that! Would you like to know how to make your very own comet?

6:30:086:30:11

You would? I'm glad you said yes, cos it's all happening

6:30:116:30:14

-on today's live Blue Peter. Here's a whooshy ship.

-Wow!

6:30:146:30:16

CHEERING

6:30:316:30:33

We do like a cheer on cue. How are you? You're watching Blue Peter.

6:30:366:30:39

-Hello.

-Hello! Barney, are you here?

-I'm here.

-I'm definitely here.

-Yes.

6:30:396:30:42

-Somebody else who isn't.

-Oh, yeah, um, Linda.

-Er...

6:30:426:30:45

-Louise?

-Lily!

-Lily! Lily's not here. Sorry, we're doing this,

6:30:456:30:49

-because we know Lindsey's watching. Hi, Lindsey, miss you!

-We do indeed.

6:30:496:30:52

She's actually on an adventure and we get to see that very soon.

6:30:526:30:55

At this part of the show, we say, "Welcome, here's what's coming up!"

6:30:556:30:58

But, today, we don't know what's happening at the end of the show,

6:30:586:31:01

because it's not just the producers in charge of what's happening.

6:31:016:31:04

-Isn't that right?

-Yes, the end of today's show is down to you!

6:31:046:31:07

-You get to vote for...

-Him as well!

-You?

-Yeah!

-Good to see you, mate!

6:31:076:31:11

So you get to vote for one of your three favourite films.

6:31:116:31:13

They're also my favourite films.

6:31:136:31:15

You get to see either myself and Lindsey singing with Pentatonix...

6:31:156:31:18

# ..killed the radio star. #

6:31:186:31:19

HARMONISING

6:31:196:31:20

'..or the film where I blow a building up.'

6:31:206:31:23

Yeah!

6:31:236:31:25

'Or maybe you'd like to see me train Ziggy the police dog again.

6:31:256:31:28

'All you've got to do is get in touch.'

6:31:286:31:29

Make your votes count and jump onto the Blue Peter website, which is...

6:31:296:31:33

..and the film with the most votes, we'll play later on in the show.

6:31:366:31:40

And while you're there - I got my own shot! Exciting! -

6:31:406:31:42

why don't you leave a message about today's burning question? Radzi?

6:31:426:31:45

If you could be in charge for the day, what would you do?

6:31:456:31:48

You could be in charge of anything, the world, or the country,

6:31:486:31:52

-or your school. If I was in charge, I'd be in charge of transport.

-OK.

6:31:526:31:55

I would get rid of all of it, so no cars, bikes,

6:31:556:31:58

instead you've got to travel by jet.

6:31:586:32:00

-I like that, but what about, instead of cars and bikes...

-Yeah?

6:32:006:32:03

..we change the land transport for hovercrafts?

6:32:036:32:06

-Love what you're doing there.

-Yes.

6:32:066:32:07

Get in touch, usual details, Blue Peter website,

6:32:076:32:10

and we'll try and read out as many of your comments later on.

6:32:106:32:12

We know you love to get in touch.

6:32:126:32:14

We have proof! Look at all the stuff you send us.

6:32:146:32:16

It's an amazing thing to open the post at the start of the week

6:32:166:32:18

and see how much you care about the things we talk about

6:32:186:32:21

and, if we do a little slow-mo shot,

6:32:216:32:22

you can probably see your shot just creeping in. Beautiful, thank you.

6:32:226:32:26

-Barney, remember the hovercraft race we did last week?

-I do.

6:32:266:32:29

Tom from Hertfordshire captured that perfectly. Look at this picture!

6:32:296:32:33

-That's you flying across the water, saying, "Weeee!"

-Yeah.

6:32:336:32:36

It was that fast.

6:32:366:32:37

And there's me in the fence crashing out, going, "Hmmm!"

6:32:376:32:40

And what's brilliant is that number seven is actually my lucky number

6:32:406:32:43

and also the day of my birthday. I love it.

6:32:436:32:45

Now, this here behind the big Blue Peter Badge wall

6:32:456:32:48

has been sent in by Jamelia and it's actually the Channel Tunnel train.

6:32:486:32:51

How cool is that? You've got windows there. And if you look inside,

6:32:516:32:54

-you can see all the cars that are going over.

-That's so good.

6:32:546:32:57

So creative, all from recycled materials.

6:32:576:32:59

Jamelia, not just the best name in the world, but so creative too.

6:32:596:33:02

-Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to France.

-Ha-ha!

6:33:026:33:04

There was one picture I couldn't go without showing you, from Rebecca.

6:33:046:33:08

She's 11 and she's made a Blue Peter board game.

6:33:086:33:10

It says Start there, and if you look at box number seven, it says,

6:33:106:33:13

"You've watched too much Blue Peter and forgotten to do your homework."

6:33:136:33:17

Rebecca, I absolutely love that.

6:33:176:33:19

Thank you to everyone who sent in anything in the post,

6:33:196:33:21

whether it was on the big badge wall or not.

6:33:216:33:24

Now, today is a very special day for any space scientists

6:33:246:33:27

and, to explain more, is scientist Greg Foot with Barney.

6:33:276:33:31

See, we like special effects to start an interview.

6:33:336:33:35

Greg, always good to see you.

6:33:356:33:37

I say that, it's not always good. Last time you were here,

6:33:376:33:39

-you caused me a considerable discomfort.

-Yeah, the chilli day.

6:33:396:33:42

-Yeah, we're not doing that today?

-No.

-Talking about comets?

-Yes.

6:33:426:33:45

-Right, then. Why?

-So, right now, 300 million miles away,

6:33:456:33:49

-there's a spacecraft shooting through space.

-Wow.

6:33:496:33:52

It's called Rosetta and its mission is to track down

6:33:526:33:55

a comet, a comet called 67P ChuryumovGerasimenko.

6:33:556:33:59

-Got it.

-Or just Comet CG.

-That'll do for now.

-Just call it that, OK.

6:33:596:34:03

Its amazing mission, it's been going for ten years,

6:34:036:34:05

it was launched ten years ago, it's been slingshotting

6:34:056:34:08

around the Earth and Mars, out into space,

6:34:086:34:11

with the idea of trying to land on top of this comet.

6:34:116:34:14

So today is a very important day in that journey.

6:34:146:34:16

ten years so far, but today marks a bit of a change for that journey?

6:34:166:34:19

Yeah, if it kept going, it would just miss the comet completely.

6:34:196:34:23

So today, they're doing a major rendezvous manoeuvre.

6:34:236:34:26

-An MRM? Know it well.

-Yeah.

6:34:266:34:27

So they're going to change its route very slightly,

6:34:276:34:29

so it can catch up with that comet and land on top.

6:34:296:34:32

This isn't a comet travelling at a few miles an hour?

6:34:326:34:34

These things are very, very fast?

6:34:346:34:36

So Rosetta's going to have to match the speed,

6:34:366:34:38

get alongside it or on top of it, and then land on the comet?

6:34:386:34:40

-Mm-hm?

-Why?

6:34:406:34:42

It's amazing. It's an amazing mission.

6:34:426:34:44

We've always been a little bit fearful of comets.

6:34:446:34:47

For centuries, we've drawn pictures of us

6:34:476:34:49

-cowering in front of these comets.

-Yeah.

6:34:496:34:51

Now we obviously know more about them, but we don't know everything.

6:34:516:34:54

We don't know how old they are, we don't know where they came from.

6:34:546:34:57

Do they come from inside the solar system? Outside the solar system?

6:34:576:35:00

What we do know is that

6:35:006:35:02

they're made of the same stuff as our early solar system.

6:35:026:35:05

So, if we can land on top of it, work out what it's made of, then we

6:35:056:35:08

may be able to unpick the origin, the evolution of the solar system.

6:35:086:35:12

-It's a big event?

-Really.

-A big event in our history.

6:35:126:35:14

You're going to try and recreate a comet?

6:35:146:35:16

-You're going to try and make one from bits that are here?

-I am.

-OK.

6:35:166:35:19

So half a comet is essentially water. So I'm going to pour some water in.

6:35:196:35:22

This is what NASA do, by the way, kind of very similar.

6:35:226:35:25

They actually make a model of a comet and do tests on it.

6:35:256:35:28

So this is pretty accurate.

6:35:286:35:29

Sort of like in a science lab when you do experiments on things?

6:35:296:35:32

-This is the same thing, but trying to recreate a comet?

-As you do.

6:35:326:35:35

This is just soil, because the other half

6:35:356:35:37

is pretty much organic material,

6:35:376:35:38

dark organic material, like rock, rubble, that sort of thing.

6:35:386:35:41

-Yeah.

-There's lots of complex chemicals in a comet.

6:35:416:35:45

-To represent that, I'm going to use soy sauce.

-OK.

-Of course.

6:35:456:35:48

-There isn't soy sauce in a comet.

-We're not going to eat it?

-No.

6:35:486:35:51

Definitely not. Especially when you see what I'm about to do to it.

6:35:516:35:54

-So my complex chemicals.

-Brilliant.

6:35:546:35:56

-The next thing you need is some ammonia.

-Yes.

6:35:566:35:58

There's lots of ammonia in a comet. These are smelling salts.

6:35:586:36:00

Yeah. Smelling salts are traditionally used

6:36:006:36:03

to, um, to relieve the symptoms of a cold.

6:36:036:36:05

It gets rid of the bogies in your nose.

6:36:056:36:07

-But it smells very strong!

-Yeah!

-Very strong!

6:36:076:36:09

-Also, when someone faints, it wakes them up!

-It would!

6:36:096:36:11

So that's all the ingredients.

6:36:116:36:13

-The last ingredient is the dangerous one.

-All right.

-Put glasses on.

6:36:136:36:16

I laugh in the face of danger.

6:36:166:36:18

The last ingredient for a comet is frozen gas.

6:36:186:36:21

Especially carbon dioxide. So I've got frozen carbon dioxide,

6:36:216:36:24

it's called dry ice, so I'm going to pour this in here,

6:36:246:36:27

-it's going to freeze everything up we've got in there.

-Look at that!

6:36:276:36:30

-Give it a huge stir as it's going.

-It looks so cool! Ain't it wicked?

6:36:306:36:34

You can see why they use it in sort of horror movies

6:36:346:36:37

and Harry Potter and things like that?

6:36:376:36:39

It looks so magical, doesn't it?

6:36:396:36:40

-And this is just freezing what's inside effectively.

-Yeah.

6:36:406:36:43

We've got all the ingredients inside. Our comet will be ready very soon.

6:36:436:36:46

OK, now, just in case you're wondering,

6:36:466:36:48

you can't make this at home, it's too dangerous to make,

6:36:486:36:50

but you can make your own version of a comet using edible stuff,

6:36:506:36:54

like cookies and ice cream, so go to the Blue Peter website

6:36:546:36:57

and you'll find a link on there

6:36:576:36:59

and, when you taste it, it really is out of this world.

6:36:596:37:03

Thank you very much. Thank you.

6:37:036:37:05

So, our comet is almost ready.

6:37:056:37:07

Let's establish the difference between

6:37:076:37:09

asteroids, comets and meteorites. They're not all the same thing?

6:37:096:37:12

No, they're all very subtly different. So this is a comet.

6:37:126:37:14

It's a dusty snowball, or a snowy dustball, essentially.

6:37:146:37:18

-Yeah.

-Um, an asteroid is different.

6:37:186:37:20

It's big, it's made of rock and metal, but it doesn't

6:37:206:37:22

have a tail when it gets close to the sun, like this will have.

6:37:226:37:26

-Also...

-It's quite active in there, isn't it?

6:37:266:37:28

-It's very active in there, in fact, making a bit of a mess.

-I like that.

6:37:286:37:31

That's what we like. And then you've got a meteoroid,

6:37:316:37:33

which is like a smaller version of an asteroid, right? A meteoroid.

6:37:336:37:37

-Yeah.

-And then, if that goes down through our atmosphere and burns up,

6:37:376:37:41

that's called a meteor. If it lands on the ground, a meteorite.

6:37:416:37:44

I think I might leave that. I think this is probably pretty much done.

6:37:446:37:47

-No TV presenters were hurt in the making of this comet.

-Here it is.

6:37:476:37:51

-So this is...

-Wow!

-..our comet.

6:37:516:37:53

This is what's known as a nucleus, so this is the bit, the hard bit

6:37:536:37:57

in the centre of a comet. It's normally ten miles across.

6:37:576:38:01

-You can see it's warming up, so we're getting bubbles all over it.

-So cool!

6:38:016:38:04

-Now, if that gets even closer to the sun...

-Here's the sun.

6:38:046:38:08

As it gets closer, you get jets of gas

6:38:086:38:11

-and dust flying off from deep inside.

-That is amazing!

6:38:116:38:14

That forms a big cloud around it, known as a coma,

6:38:146:38:18

which can be up to 60,000 miles across,

6:38:186:38:20

-which is like eight times the size of the Earth.

-Incredible!

-It's huge!

6:38:206:38:23

As it gets even closer to the sun,

6:38:236:38:25

that whole cloud of dust starts interacting

6:38:256:38:27

with the sun's atmosphere and you get a big tail shooting out the back.

6:38:276:38:31

-And that's why you picture a comet with a tail.

-You can see why people

6:38:316:38:34

would want to land on it and see what it's made of and learn more.

6:38:346:38:36

But there is another day to look out for?

6:38:366:38:38

-Yeah, there is. So the big rendezvous manoeuvre is today.

-Yeah.

6:38:386:38:42

Then, in August, it's going to catch up with the comet.

6:38:426:38:45

And in November, it's going to try and land on top of the comet.

6:38:456:38:48

Amazing. And an amazing demonstration too.

6:38:486:38:50

A round of applause for Greg! Brilliant.

6:38:506:38:52

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Thank you so much for coming in.

6:38:526:38:55

Aw! What a legend Greg is!

6:38:556:38:58

Now, if you want to find out more about everything outer space related,

6:38:586:39:01

go on to the Blue Peter website, where we are going

6:39:016:39:04

to upload this evening the very first of Greg's vlogs.

6:39:046:39:07

This week's all about planets, in fact.

6:39:076:39:10

-How cool was that, by the way?

-Cool? It's freezing!

6:39:106:39:14

Hang on! That was the ice cream I was going to use to make my comet!

6:39:146:39:17

Well, it's a bit like a comet. Look how fast it's going.

6:39:176:39:20

-Unbelievable, Barney!

-I think I've got brain freeze!

6:39:206:39:22

Serves you right!

6:39:226:39:23

-Anyway, if you saw last week's...

-It really hurts!

-I hope it does.

6:39:256:39:28

..last week's show, you'd have seen Lindsey and I in a hovercraft...

6:39:286:39:31

Barney and I in a hovercraft race war.

6:39:316:39:33

This week, it's Lindsey and I going head-to-head

6:39:336:39:36

and this has real horsepower.

6:39:366:39:38

-Can someone rub my head, please?

-Get me another spoon!

-No, it's mine!

6:39:386:39:42

APPLAUSE

6:39:426:39:44

Welcome to the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

6:39:446:39:46

A world-famous event where some of the best horses and riders come

6:39:466:39:50

from all over the globe to display in front of thousands of spectators.

6:39:506:39:54

'Crowds gather here in the grounds of Windsor Castle

6:39:546:39:58

'to see a range of events. But one of the most popular

6:39:586:40:01

'is the fast and furious sport of carriage driving.'

6:40:016:40:04

It's pretty extreme!

6:40:046:40:06

So you'll understand why we were more than a little bit surprised

6:40:066:40:08

when we found out they were going to let us two amateurs have a go.

6:40:086:40:11

Lucky for us, Blue Peter had set up a bit of training.

6:40:116:40:14

'A month ago, we headed to Essex

6:40:146:40:16

'to be put through our paces by top carriage driver Wilf Bowman-Ripley.'

6:40:166:40:21

-Hi, Wilf.

-Hi there.

-How are you doing?

6:40:216:40:23

-Good to meet you.

-You as well.

6:40:236:40:25

Now, where do we start with learning how to do this today?

6:40:256:40:28

-We have Grace, who's one of our top juniors.

-Hello.

6:40:286:40:30

And she's going to demonstrate to you how it's done.

6:40:306:40:33

'Carriage driving is all about precision.

6:40:336:40:36

'Navigating through tight spaces as quickly as possible.'

6:40:366:40:39

What happens if the drivers aren't too skilled?

6:40:396:40:42

Well, you've got a very good instructor.

6:40:426:40:44

LAUGHTER

6:40:446:40:45

'But before we're allowed on a carriage,

6:40:476:40:49

'Wilf wants to walk us through the basics.'

6:40:496:40:51

If you want to turn left a little bit, you pull your left rein.

6:40:516:40:54

And how hard do you have to pull?

6:40:546:40:56

-How much do the horses respond to what you're doing?

-You'll find out.

6:40:566:40:59

It depends what the horses come out like. They're different every day.

6:40:596:41:02

It depends what mood they got out of bed this morning.

6:41:026:41:05

-I hope mine got up in a good mood.

-Yeah.

6:41:056:41:07

'This is beginning to sound a bit tricky.

6:41:076:41:10

'And it looks a lot trickier when we see what we'll be in charge of.'

6:41:106:41:13

Have you seen the size of those things, Linds?

6:41:136:41:15

-I'm convinced this is a joke.

-It's got to be a joke.

6:41:156:41:18

What?

6:41:186:41:20

BOTH: Whoa!

6:41:206:41:21

'These are big horses and big carriages.

6:41:236:41:26

'There's only one way to find out if we're up to it.

6:41:266:41:29

'I'm on Wilf's carriage.

6:41:296:41:30

'And I'm being trained by Dan.'

6:41:306:41:32

-Dan, it's the dream team.

-This is the winning team.

-Ooh!

6:41:326:41:36

Hat on. Safety first.

6:41:366:41:38

-This is the reins.

-OK.

6:41:386:41:40

-Oh, we're off.

-We're off.

-Given the reins, good.

6:41:406:41:43

Ooh, where am I going?

6:41:436:41:45

Trot on.

6:41:456:41:46

'After a few minutes of driving, I'm beginning to get the hang of it,

6:41:486:41:51

'which is more than can be said of Radzi.'

6:41:516:41:54

Left, left! Easy, boy!

6:41:546:41:56

'Now it's time to see how we're really getting on,

6:41:596:42:02

'so Wilf wants us each to complete a timed lap of the course.'

6:42:026:42:06

This is exquisite from Russell.

6:42:086:42:11

Well done. Go on.

6:42:116:42:13

'Right. My go.'

6:42:146:42:17

There you go, boys.

6:42:186:42:21

Oh! What's he doing?

6:42:226:42:24

D'oh-argh!

6:42:246:42:26

Ooh! Looks like you hit a cone there, Radzi.

6:42:266:42:29

SHE GIGGLES

6:42:296:42:30

So, Lindsey, your time was 2:49:59.

6:42:306:42:34

And, Radzi, your time was 3:19:63.

6:42:346:42:37

-No!

-Yes!

6:42:376:42:39

-We are the winners.

-No way!

-Fantastic result.

6:42:396:42:41

-We were faster!

-You were a minute over!

6:42:416:42:43

Radzi, you demolished the course.

6:42:436:42:45

'Back at Windsor, we're making our final preparations

6:42:466:42:49

'before it's our turn to drive in front of thousands.'

6:42:496:42:52

So, it's pretty fair to say I've got some work to do,

6:42:536:42:56

but fortunately, I do have a fantastic trainer.

6:42:566:42:58

Dan, do you think I can beat Lindsey?

6:42:586:43:01

I think, if we do the basics correct, the speed will follow.

6:43:016:43:04

-We've got a good chance.

-Well, Lindsey, you heard it here.

6:43:046:43:07

You may have smashed me in the practice,

6:43:076:43:09

but it's all about the competition.

6:43:096:43:10

Radzi, I don't think you've got a chance, mate.

6:43:106:43:13

-You might have a big horse, but we have the skill, haven't we?

-Yes.

6:43:136:43:16

And how many people are watching us do this?

6:43:166:43:18

There could be a couple of thousand people today.

6:43:186:43:20

-That's quite a lot of people, isn't it...

-A lot of people, yeah.

6:43:206:43:23

-..to embarrass myself in front of.

-THEY LAUGH

6:43:236:43:26

Do you know what? I think we've got this. We're both competitive.

6:43:266:43:29

-Exactly.

-I think we'll smash it. Let's go.

-Boom!

-Go, team!

6:43:296:43:32

'It's nearly time for us to have a go, Linds.'

6:43:326:43:35

-Radz,

-how you feeling? Um...

6:43:356:43:37

I'm feeling like I'm about to do something that I'm unequipped to do,

6:43:376:43:41

but I'm going to give it everything I've got to get around this course.

6:43:416:43:44

You know, now that we're here, I'm genuinely scared. Are you?

6:43:446:43:48

-Ooh-argh!

-Ooh!

6:43:486:43:50

That's, er... That's what they call good luck.

6:43:506:43:52

'Yeah, looks like the horse is a bit nervous too, Radzi.'

6:43:526:43:55

'We'll be attempting to drive our carriages through the water

6:43:576:44:00

'and in and out of these obstacles.

6:44:006:44:03

'The person with the quickest time wins.'

6:44:036:44:05

Go for it. Go, Radzi! Go, Radzi!

6:44:056:44:08

-Right, right, right, right.

-Go right.

-Go, go, go.

6:44:106:44:13

He's gone the wrong way. I think Radzi's just gone the wrong way.

6:44:136:44:16

I'm pretty sure. I don't know.

6:44:166:44:17

But I'm sure you're meant to go through the water.

6:44:176:44:19

Radzi's gone the long way round! Radzi's gone the long way round!

6:44:196:44:23

'OK, not a great start, but maybe I can recover in the obstacles.'

6:44:236:44:27

Left, left, left!

6:44:276:44:28

'Oops! Wrong way again!

6:44:306:44:33

'And again!'

6:44:346:44:36

CHEERING

6:44:366:44:37

Whoa!

6:44:436:44:45

-Good job.

-Oh!

6:44:456:44:47

Radzi, how was it?

6:44:476:44:49

I forgot everything, Linds. We'll call it the scenic view.

6:44:496:44:53

Only the cool cats take the scenic view, Linds!

6:44:536:44:55

-Did you go the wrong way?

-Oh, yeah.

-Are we going? Oh, we're going.

6:44:556:44:58

-Oh, no, this is it.

-Good luck!

-I don't want to do this any more!

6:44:586:45:01

Oh, no, I do. Come on.

6:45:016:45:02

OK, we're going to the right?

6:45:026:45:04

Whoa!

6:45:076:45:08

Oh, ha-ha! Lindsey did it like I was supposed to do it!

6:45:086:45:12

CHEERING

6:45:126:45:14

'This really is a lot harder than it looks.'

6:45:146:45:18

-CHEERING

-Whoa!

6:45:206:45:22

-Ah!

-'Oh, dear! She's making this all look a bit easy.'

6:45:266:45:31

Yey! That was so fun!

6:45:316:45:35

Well done, horses!

6:45:356:45:37

That was so fun!

6:45:376:45:39

Laps completed, but how did we get on?

6:45:426:45:45

Radzi, your time was 149.66 seconds.

6:45:456:45:49

That has got winning written all over it.

6:45:496:45:51

Lindsey's time was 101...

6:45:516:45:53

-CHEERING

-We won it!

6:45:536:45:55

-Radzi, when it comes to you versus me...

-Yes?

6:45:556:45:59

..I think I remain unbeaten at this point.

6:45:596:46:02

-Not strictly true, Lindsey. Stone skipping.

-Less chat.

6:46:026:46:05

-I came to win and we won, didn't we, Wilf?

-We won.

-Fair and square.

6:46:056:46:08

Stone skipping doesn't quite count,

6:46:126:46:14

which means that Lindsey is the rein-ing champion?

6:46:146:46:17

You know, rein for the horse? No? OK, I've got another one.

6:46:176:46:19

-She might not be the champion "furlong".

-Ooh!

6:46:196:46:23

Furlong, because of the... No? All right, hold your horses!

6:46:236:46:25

Um, I'm just trying to "stirrup" some emotion?

6:46:256:46:29

Yeah, can you send me some horse jokes?

6:46:296:46:30

Apparently, I'm not very good at it. But now over to my neigh-bour.

6:46:306:46:34

OK, I'm going home. Radzi, it's all yours.

6:46:346:46:37

Less horseplay, Barney. It's time for some serious business.

6:46:376:46:40

But first, take a look at this.

6:46:406:46:42

'Have you ever had this problem?

6:46:446:46:47

'Do you want to have a cleaner, tidier space to do your homework?

6:46:476:46:51

'Then fear not!

6:46:516:46:53

'We're going to show you how to make the tin face desk tidy

6:46:536:46:57

'to solve all of your problems...

6:46:576:46:59

'..and better still, it's made out of recycled materials!'

6:47:006:47:04

Ha-ha! And to help us make that desk tidy, we have with us

6:47:086:47:12

Thomas, Hayley, Owen and Kaylin! Give them a huge Blue Peter welcome!

6:47:126:47:15

CHEERING Yes!

6:47:156:47:17

Welcome to Blue Peter.

6:47:176:47:19

Now, Hayley, I've seen a picture... that you guys made an eco-man.

6:47:196:47:23

Can you tell us a little bit about that?

6:47:236:47:25

Um, we outlined our caretaker on some card

6:47:256:47:30

and he used some chicken wire and stapled it on.

6:47:306:47:32

Here it is here. Look at that!

6:47:326:47:35

Then we put some, um, recycle...

6:47:356:47:37

Then we put recycle bins in every class

6:47:376:47:39

and collected all the recycled waste and, um,

6:47:396:47:42

put it in the recycle man until we filled him up.

6:47:426:47:44

Well, it is fantastic and you guys are now proudly

6:47:446:47:47

all wearing your green Blue Peter badges. I love that.

6:47:476:47:49

What do we need in order to make this beautiful desk tidy?

6:47:496:47:54

We use...

6:47:546:47:56

We use a washed and used tin.

6:47:566:47:59

So a washed and used tin, Thomas. Perfect. What about you, Hayley?

6:47:596:48:02

-Some sticky back magnet tape.

-Perfect.

6:48:026:48:05

And for the decorations, Owen, what do we need?

6:48:056:48:07

-Straw and buttons.

-Perfect! And Kaylin?

6:48:076:48:11

-Old stationery and ringpulls.

-Absolutely. And just be a little

6:48:116:48:14

bit careful with those ringpulls, cos sometimes, they can have sharp edges.

6:48:146:48:18

All the details are on the website, which is...

6:48:186:48:21

The perfect thing about it is you can use old bits and bobs lying around

6:48:236:48:26

to help tidy up those old bits and bobs that are lying around.

6:48:266:48:29

- Are we up for making this? - ALL: Yes.

6:48:296:48:31

Let's get started, then!

6:48:316:48:33

OK, the very first thing we do is take our clean used tin,

6:48:336:48:36

as explained by Thomas, here.

6:48:366:48:38

Now you can see just there there is a bit of a sharp edge.

6:48:386:48:42

You might need to sand it down.

6:48:426:48:43

Possibly ask an adult for help if you do so.

6:48:436:48:45

Then we take our decoration. I'm going to go for a green button.

6:48:456:48:50

Now, I'm going to measure this against our magnetic tape.

6:48:506:48:54

Now this is slightly special magnetic tape.

6:48:546:48:56

In fact, let me measure it first.

6:48:566:48:59

Perfect, OK. So it's slightly special magnetic tape, because it is...

6:48:596:49:03

It's got a plastic side which reveals a sticky side.

6:49:036:49:08

Now, I was careful when I cut it,

6:49:086:49:09

just to watch my fingers there as you peel that off.

6:49:096:49:13

That is the sticky side right there.

6:49:136:49:16

Now, this tape is actually found in craft shops, online,

6:49:166:49:19

for a couple of pounds and it's well worth it.

6:49:196:49:22

So this is really simple. You simply put your button there

6:49:226:49:25

and it sticks to the tin due to the magnetic attraction.

6:49:256:49:29

And I've got some prepared ones earlier.

6:49:296:49:30

There's another button there.

6:49:306:49:32

Now let's see if you can see what I'm going to be making here.

6:49:326:49:35

There's a ring pull. Like I said, be careful when you take that off cans.

6:49:356:49:38

We have a paperclip and another paperclip!

6:49:386:49:43

It's a smiley face!

6:49:436:49:44

OK, guys, what are you up to? Thomas, let's take a look at yours.

6:49:446:49:47

-Um...

-Can we have a look?

6:49:476:49:49

Can you spin it around for me?

6:49:496:49:51

-I'm making a smiley face.

-Oh, there it is!

6:49:516:49:54

That looks very sharp! I love the hair, by the way! Yes!

6:49:546:49:57

-Hayley, what have you made?

-Um...

-Oh, what is that one?

6:49:576:50:01

-A pig with pigtails.

-A pig with...!

6:50:016:50:04

-A pig with pigtails?

-Yeah.

-I love what you've done there, Hayley! Yes!

6:50:046:50:08

And Owen, what about yourself? What have you made?

6:50:086:50:11

-I've made...

-(Show that camera there.)

6:50:116:50:13

I've made a freaky looking monster with funky little sideburns.

6:50:136:50:17

It is very freaky! Kaylin, what about yourself?

6:50:176:50:19

I've made sparkly hair and a happy face.

6:50:196:50:24

I really like the creativity here. And that's the beauty about this.

6:50:246:50:27

You can be as creative as you want. It doesn't have to be a face,

6:50:276:50:30

but here's a little idea. Take a look at this here.

6:50:306:50:32

So we have smiley face, only you get too much homework

6:50:326:50:35

and you're a bit grumpy, there's a grumpy face!

6:50:356:50:38

Thank you so much for helping us out.

6:50:386:50:39

-Fantastic job. Barney, what do you reckon?

-I love it, Radzi!

6:50:396:50:42

A classic example of a Blue Peter make - upcycling, it's dead easy,

6:50:426:50:45

everybody can get involved and you can create your own smiley faces.

6:50:456:50:48

Why not give it a go yourself?

6:50:486:50:49

If you do, take a picture and send it to us.

6:50:496:50:51

We love hearing from you. It might even make it

6:50:516:50:53

into the Makes And Bakes gallery on our Blue Peter website.

6:50:536:50:56

Earlier, we asked you to get in touch and say which film

6:50:566:50:58

you would like to see at the end of the show. That time is now.

6:50:586:51:00

The votes have been counted, so the votes are officially closed.

6:51:006:51:04

I didn't do my own sound effect then, but that would've been cool.

6:51:046:51:07

So, you had three films to choose from.

6:51:076:51:09

When Lindsey and myself sang with Pentatonix.

6:51:096:51:11

There was the film where I blew a building up. And, of course,

6:51:116:51:14

the film where I got to train Ziggy the police dog.

6:51:146:51:16

So, I can now reveal the winning film is...

6:51:166:51:19

FANFARE PLAYS

6:51:196:51:22

Cost a fortune that. The winning film is

6:51:236:51:25

Ziggy the police dog and Barney training him.

6:51:256:51:28

It's quite a comedy. Have a look. Enjoy.

6:51:286:51:30

DOGS BARK

6:51:326:51:33

'Police dogs are an important part of the police force,

6:51:336:51:35

'from helping to catch criminals to finding illegal and dangerous items.

6:51:356:51:39

'They work on the front line.'

6:51:396:51:41

Good boy. This is Banjo. He's one of the many police dogs

6:51:436:51:46

that are used by the Greater Manchester Police

6:51:466:51:48

and I'm here to find out how they're used

6:51:486:51:50

and, in true Blue Peter style, I've been given a very special challenge.

6:51:506:51:54

He likes cameras, by the way. In just a week's time, I'm going

6:51:546:51:57

to be working with the police at Manchester Airport.

6:51:576:51:59

Now, this is very serious. This is real police work.

6:51:596:52:02

I've got to learn fast and know exactly what I'm doing.

6:52:026:52:04

Constable Harwood and Banjo, reporting for duty.

6:52:046:52:07

Eh? Oh, wrong arm.

6:52:076:52:09

Sorry.

6:52:096:52:10

'I'm here at Hough End in Charlton to meet officer Rob Carlin

6:52:106:52:15

'and his dog Colin.'

6:52:156:52:17

I was expecting to see a German shepherd, but he's a spaniel.

6:52:176:52:20

He is, he's a springer spaniel. We don't just use German shepherds.

6:52:206:52:23

We use, um, spaniels and Labradors and cocker spaniels,

6:52:236:52:27

springer spaniels for searching.

6:52:276:52:29

Any dog that's got a high play drive, that really wants to please you

6:52:296:52:32

and do the job we can use, but with the spaniels and the labs,

6:52:326:52:37

-their noses are very good.

-When you say a high play drive,

6:52:376:52:40

you mean it's kind of play and reward? So, even though

6:52:406:52:42

-they're working dogs, they think it's a bit of fun?

-They do.

6:52:426:52:45

It's all play-based training, so, er, with the search dogs,

6:52:456:52:47

they basically think they're looking for a tennis ball

6:52:476:52:50

and the end result is they get a tennis ball.

6:52:506:52:52

What do you use Colin for? What kind of dog is he?

6:52:526:52:54

Colin's trained to find explosives.

6:52:546:52:56

There are several different types of explosives.

6:52:566:52:59

And Colin's trained to find those.

6:52:596:53:01

'So, Rob and Colin are going to give me

6:53:036:53:04

'a demonstration of what I need to learn.

6:53:046:53:07

'Hidden in this function room

6:53:086:53:09

'are a small amount of explosives for Colin to find.'

6:53:096:53:12

You can see Colin's wearing a harness now.

6:53:146:53:16

Um, this is a trigger for the dog, so that he knows he's searching.

6:53:166:53:19

Stay.

6:53:196:53:21

-He's a good boy.

-Sit.

6:53:216:53:23

Go find.

6:53:236:53:24

So I'm watching the dog now.

6:53:276:53:28

You've got to keep your eye on the dog at all times,

6:53:286:53:30

cos he might do something that I need to recognise,

6:53:306:53:33

that he may have got into a scent pattern.

6:53:336:53:35

How do you know he found something? What does Colin do to tell you that?

6:53:376:53:40

He'll get to the source of the smell and he'll just stop.

6:53:406:53:44

-This is safe now. We know this is OK.

-OK.

6:53:446:53:46

-This has been searched.

-Yeah.

-So we'll move down now.

6:53:466:53:48

-He likes that area.

-You can see now, he's getting very interested there.

6:53:506:53:53

See, Colin has now stopped. He's now waiting for his tennis ball.

6:53:536:53:56

-Good boy!

-'That's Colin's reward. So let's see what he's found.'

6:53:586:54:01

-Just behind the step there.

-Yeah?

-You can see there's a pot.

-Oh, yeah.

6:54:016:54:05

Pick that up. Just inside the pot there, you've got plastic explosives.

6:54:056:54:11

'In the canister, the explosives are perfectly safe,

6:54:116:54:13

'but in the wrong hands could be very dangerous.'

6:54:136:54:16

Right, so he did the job? He found it.

6:54:166:54:18

-I've now got to try and do that with my own dog?

-Yes, that's right.

6:54:186:54:22

-So, say hello to Ziggy.

-Yeah.

-Ziggy is my search dog.

-He is.

6:54:226:54:25

This is Ziggy, he's a new dog, he's only seven months old now.

6:54:256:54:28

So he has done a little bit, but not a great deal.

6:54:286:54:31

So we're both in training?

6:54:316:54:32

-That's right, so it's over to you now.

-It's me and you, Ziggy.

6:54:326:54:35

-See if you can, er, find it.

-OK.

6:54:356:54:37

Find.

6:54:376:54:39

-Ziggy!

-BARNEY CLAPS

6:54:406:54:43

This way. Ziggy?

6:54:436:54:45

Here, boy!

6:54:456:54:47

Ziggy!

6:54:476:54:48

Ziggy? 'Er, I don't think he's listening!'

6:54:486:54:51

-Give him the command to find again.

-Like that?

6:54:536:54:56

He's very excited about something here, isn't he?

6:54:576:55:00

-He is, yes, so leave him with it now.

-OK.

6:55:006:55:02

There you go. That's the dog's indication.

6:55:026:55:04

He's gone into the sit, so we reward Ziggy a bit more quickly,

6:55:046:55:07

-because he's a young dog.

-OK.

-Brilliant, well done.

-Good boy!

6:55:076:55:09

-That was brilliant.

-That's it, well done.

-First timer as well!

6:55:096:55:12

You know, you got better and better as the search went on,

6:55:126:55:15

because, initially, you were perhaps too close to the dog.

6:55:156:55:17

-OK.

-And at one point, he was behind you.

-Did we find anything?

6:55:176:55:20

I mean, Ziggy's knows that he's found something.

6:55:206:55:23

-'It's more plastic explosives.'

-So he did really well.

6:55:236:55:26

-There you have it.

-And so did you.

-Thank you very much.

6:55:266:55:28

-That was brilliant!

-No problem, well done.

-Do I get a tennis ball now?

6:55:286:55:32

BARKING

6:55:326:55:34

'Today is the day for my challenge at Manchester Airport.

6:55:346:55:37

'It's time for Ziggy and I

6:55:376:55:39

'to work as a team in a special training exercise.'

6:55:396:55:42

The front pocket is the most important

6:55:436:55:46

part of any police officer who works with a dog's uniform,

6:55:466:55:49

and you'll see it says there on the side -

6:55:496:55:51

"scoop the poop", so be prepared.

6:55:516:55:55

'But now, things are about to get serious.

6:55:556:55:57

'Rob has hidden a small amount of explosive somewhere

6:55:576:56:00

'in the busy airport and it's down to me and Ziggy to find them.'

6:56:006:56:04

Search!

6:56:046:56:05

'We're off to an enthusiastic start.' Ziggy! Ziggy!

6:56:076:56:10

'But still no sign.' Yeah.

6:56:136:56:15

'At least Ziggy's listening to me.

6:56:156:56:18

'And, as he comes to a stop,

6:56:186:56:20

'it looks like Ziggy has discovered something.'

6:56:206:56:23

If that... If that's not a definite point, I don't know what is.

6:56:236:56:26

Good boy!

6:56:266:56:27

Well done! Yes!

6:56:276:56:29

So, let's just have a quick look.

6:56:296:56:32

-Wow!

-I think we can officially say you've passed the test.

6:56:326:56:35

Such a great experience to actually be here with Ziggy,

6:56:376:56:39

for him to show me the ropes in the airport and it's really quite weird,

6:56:396:56:43

though, how dogs are sort of led by their sense of smell.

6:56:436:56:45

I'm actually the same with sausages. If anybody gets...

6:56:456:56:48

HE SNIFFS

6:56:486:56:50

I ate all of them as well. It was such good fun.

6:56:516:56:53

Thank you to Rob and Colin for showing me

6:56:536:56:55

and the star of the show is Ziggy.

6:57:036:57:07

"so it could be sunny everyday." That's a nice one.

6:57:076:57:09

Emerald Terrible Gadget has made a comment

6:57:096:57:11

which is possibly my favourite of all time.

6:57:116:57:13

It says, "I'd make Radzi King and Barney be his servant."

6:57:136:57:16

-Yes!

-Yeah, that's pretty much true anyway.

6:57:166:57:18

Ruby Giggly Millipede - "I'd be in charge of CBBC
