Lawson, Bird Bath & Illustrator Chris Riddell Blue Peter

showing you how we can help our fellow friends in this hot weather

by building a bird bath. We are joined by a talented author and

illustrator Chris Riddell. He is going to be illustrating your

pictures to a story you write throughout the show.

We are excited, Lawson are here performing their new single

Brokenhearted. # Look at what you started

# Got you brokenhearted. # That's all coming up on today's

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Hi. Just so you though my trombone

playing hasn't got any better since that. It's a live Blue Peter, so

much to cram in. Last week we were live from Wimbledon and we launched

a new Blue Peter Sport Badge. If there's been any inspiration for you

to get involved in sport, surely what happened on Sunday at Wimbledon

has to be at the top of the list. Watch this.

Game, set and match, Andy Murray. champion. Look at this. Helen has

actually got goosebumps watching that back. That was amazing.

Congratulations to Andy Murray. Hard work does pay off. If you are sporty

and you are thinking how do I get a Blue Peter Sport Badge? There are a

few hoops to jump through bau it's worth it. They're a limited edition.

What you need to do is encourage a friend to get sporty this summer. If

I took Barney to football practice last summer that doesn't count

because it's got the year on the badge. I need to take him to cycling

club this summer. That would count. The deadline is 30th September. You

have from now until 30th September to take a friend to a new sport.

the details that you need so you can get involved are on the Blue Peter

website. Check it out. Last summer you may remember the summer reading

challenge, lots of you got involved. This year there is a different theme

and it's based around this creepy house. I love it. If you go to your

local library you will get one of these. The challenge over the summer

is to read six books. You will earn stickers and get trader cards as you

read along. If you get six stickers you complete the challenge. You will

be there. Those stickers stink as well, they smell creepy! Last year

three million books were read as part of this. Get involved. The

details are on the website. Or head down to your local library. The guy

behind this incredible creepy house is Chris Riddell. An incredible

artist. We have important things on here he is going to talk you

through. Welcome to the show. Great to see you. Great to be here.You

are here for a special challenge. Before we talk that, let's talk

about you and what you do. Lots of our viewers will know you created

the fantastic Olloline series. We want to know if there are budding

illustrators out there what should they be doing? Get a sketch book,

one of these. I brought some of mine in. If you want to be be an

illustrator the key is to fill up books all the time. Draw every day

and read lots of stories. These are actually your sketches that you have

done. Those are my doodles.We have been asking everyone to offer

suggestions for a story that you can illustrate live on the show. Let's

crack on. You should start with a pink unicorn sat in a desert eating

chips. Or you should play an elephant playing tennis. Which of

those? No contest, I will draw the Wimbledon elephant. A great subject.

Fantastic. Elephants like currants. That works. Thank you if you sent a

suggestion. You can join in by heading to the website. Join in by

leaving a message for us right now because we are live. Chris is

already doodling away. He has a short amount of time to illustrate

the first part of the story. If you want to give the idea for the next

part get involved now. Keep lines nice and short. Just say what you

would like to happen, who it's going to happen to and where, please.

is cracking away! Good luck, Chris. It's not just Chris you have been

heading to the message boards to get in touch with, you have been leaving

questions for these guys. Lawson are an awesome foursome who

have been playing music together for the past four years. Made up of

Ryan, Joel, Adam and Andy. They got their name from Dr Lawson who saved

Andy's life when he was 19. Their album has sold over half a million

copies and has no viewer than three top ten singles on it. They tour

later this year and there is a lot of love for Lawson.

I love these guys, it's Lawson! Welcome to the show! . Hi, welcome

to the show. We have had hundreds of questions from our viewers for you.

I will dive straight in. Do you come up with your own songs and if so,

how do you think up such amazing tunes? Thanks, yeah, we write

everything ourselves. Usually starts with an acoustic guitar or piano and

I will sing a chorus or start with a lyric. I will bring it to the lads

and say what do you think and they'll be like yeah, let's record

it and go in the studio and it becomes a full song. Who says no,

that's rubbish? All of them. It's creative criticism. Must try harder.

Hi, Lawson, I will see the tour and wondered if you could tell me what

to expect. It kicks off in September. Goes through to October.

It's our biggest tour we have done, it's like a rock show. We put on a

big show, big lights, guitar solos. You rock out. Yeah, jump around.

Cool. Do you have a lucky item and what is it? I don't really have a

lucky item, my old guitar I have had for a long time, my first proper

guitar. I always have to have that on tour. Hi, Lawson. All your music

videos are great but which was the most difficult to shoot? I love the

twirling flamingo. The hardest video for us is probably standing in the

dark. I remember the next day straight off to Europe, and it was a

long day. Didn't they warm up that water? It was a man with a hose pipe

on us like that. It was horrible. was like, sorry, guys. This is

happening. I seen the look in his eyes, he wasn't. I thought you were

standing in the dark. If you have sent a comment to Lawson make sure

you watch their performance later. It may be scrolling on the bottom of

the screen. Random question, have you been interviewed whilst doing a

loop a loop on the plane and being on a rollercoaster or a zip wire?

Never. I wish we had. That sounds like a good time. What would you go

for? The plane. I would like to go on a rollercoaster based on fear of

flying. I would regret not going on the plane. We can sort the

rollercoaster. Blackpool is down the road. The reason I ask is we want to

know if you could interview your favourite celebrity where would do

you it, on a rollercoaster or zip wire or doing a loop a loop on a

a web chat after this show. Get involved. Once you have your idea

you can use that to vote for who you want to be the next Blue Peter

presenter. There are a final four. Next week is about interviewing.

Here is a look at what you can see. You are going to be interviewing a

also going to be learning their new dance routine at the same time. We

are going to add one more thing to that. You also have to wear one of

these. The art is no one watching, no one talking. The people in your

ears today, the people that you are hearing in your ears are... Yes!

It's going to get so close. Freddie, Ben, Emma and Lindsay, one of them

will be the new Blue Peter presenter. I can't wait to find out.

If you want to tune in you can catch the programme, you decide on

Mondays. Let's go and see Chris. You have had about seven minutes to put

together the first part of the story, an elephant playing tennis at

Wimbledon. Look at it. There he is. That's brilliant. What do you think

will happen in the first part? must be a sort of famous elephant,

possibly a Scottish elephant. About to win Wimbledon. Andy McNellie

maybe. We are playing consequences live on TV. If you want to get

involved and dictate the next part of the story go online and leave us

a comment. It's exactly what Gingerslowbat has done. The elephant

running over the net and running into his opponent who is a monkey

with a long tail or Bluegreen wombat says, the elephant has tea with the

Queen. Interesting. I love the Queen. Don't get me wrong. I want to

draw a monkey. You will go with the he will fapt running over the net --

elephant over the net and joining a monkey. You have seven minutes. Good

luck. If you want to join in leave a comment on the message board.

talk about something exciting. A new series of Wild on Saturday mornings.

Are you enjoying it? So are we, even more so when we found out Tim is a

professional snowboarder. We thought there is two people perfect for

going on the snow, it's not us, but you are about to find out what

happened when we did. This is a weird feeling! It's like

being on a tea tray. Are you all right? You can do it! I can do it

here on-the-spot, amazing. With a little bit of practice... Yes.We

might look as cool as that. Wow! Tim's been snowboarding since he was

16. He is good.He's so good he turned pro soon after and became

British champion in just four years. That's something I can get on board

with. It's a snowboard, on board. got it! Now he is the all-action

presenter on Wild. Who better to show us the slopes? That was

amazing. All right.Can you teach us how to do that? Essentially you are

both beginning bebeginners. If you fall over and you are on your back,

on to your knees. Next, a few basics. It's all about toes and

heels. That's how you stop. Bend the knees. Straight to it and after a

couple of false starts I am finding my feet. TurnEven if they are a bit

On the toe edge now. Keep lifting your heels off the snow. Bend your

legs, keep your upper body straight. Head up and leaning on to your legs

left and right. Going down the slope backwards? Right, no problem! Just

have to remember to stick the edge in to stop and put the board flat to

go. That's lesson one. Time to give boarding a break and quiz Tim about

his other day job. This is your background, this is not what you are

doing now. You are one third of Wild. I know. It's mad.Are you

enjoying it? Loving it. It's been the best experience ever. Tell me

about the show, because you are out and about. Wild is a show designed

to get kids off the sofa and doing activities. We broadcast live every

week from a different location from somewhere in the UK. How come you

always end up in the water. I have to do all the for fits, I think it's

because Naomi is scared. It's the way I goes, I end up losing

challenges. I am not good at listening. They say make it like

this and I miss those details and end up losing. How is Radzi?He is

loving it. That was good by the way. I can't believe you didn't see any

of that. You were filming the interview and missed me. I did the

whole thing on my own. You were very good. Give us a high-five! OK guys.

You are doing really well. It's time for mother jeopardy. -- for more

jeopardy. Time to hit the big slope. Welcome to the top of the hill.

top of the mountain. Top of the game. Top of the morning. Don't know

where else to go there! In all seriousness, we are at the top. It's

steep, there are hazards everywhere. It's not a race. Try and control

your speed. I will be there for you. Woah! With a bit of concentration,

some help from Tim, and the occasional fall, it's all starting

to click. Don't panic! Lovely. That's it. No problem. It's dead

easy getting down these slopes. Here we go! That's how you ride a slope!

That's quick. I think you will find I won. Tim wasn't there and I had

this massive jump. Yeah, that's how you snowboard. Have a look at the

badge wall. As always, you have been in touch and you have sent us

fantastic things. 1464 of you have sent us stuff, have left comments,

check out the Sports Badge. Loads of you have been sending pictures of

that. Hopefully more will be applying for one. Thank you to Misha

who created this. The sun is sad because the rubbish is on the floor.

She has a friend and she drew the other side, the litter has been

tidied away and the sun is happy because the litter is in the bin. We

love stuff like this. Say hi to the new Blue Peter presenter. This is

Erin and she's drawn a bear and you can see he is celebrating the 50th

year of the badge. He is green. He has a green badge on and he is

called Barlen, a mixture of Barney and Helen. Over here Chris is

illustrating the story that you create throughout the show. We have

had the beginning and middle so far. You wanted to draw a monkey and

elephant. Explain what's going on. thought the biggest monkey of them

all, technically a gorilla is company King Kong. He should have a

long tail, and he does in the other hand, Harry Potter. You have no idea

how much he looks like our producer. Now we have the beginning, middle

and end. There should be a lion who gives the elephant a trophy or a

budgie swoops in and catches the tennis ball. Which of those? I like

the budgie but I might do something strange with with it. You heard it

here first. You have about four minutes. Thank you so much for all

the stuff you have sent in. They're all really funny. This will make a

brilliant story. Helen is also getting creative. I am painting a

terracotta plant pot because we are going to show you how to make a bird

bath. We are going to show you how to make four different things. The

butterfly bath, we have done that already. I have three helpers with

me. Rory, Daniel and Evie. Thank you for joining me guys. You have come

from Aberdeen, I believe you are in an art club. What do you make?

made a fish out of modelling clay. You are painting the fish, was that

fun? YeahWhat about you, Evie? making a bird, like a wire bird.

can add the bird to the bath in case any birds are confused. You know

exactly what it is. Daniel, what is your favourite thing to make at art

club? My favourite thing to make has to be the wire sculptures because we

made little people walking dogs and all of that stuff. Kre V2 ative. --

very creative. Today we are making these fantastic bird baths. That's

what we are aiming for. You can make these using things you find lying

around the house or in the back of the garden shed. If you haven't a

plant pot that's going spare, then don't worry, use your imagination.

We have used ours. We have all kind of things. All the items on that

table we pked up from a charity -- picked up from a charity shop for a

few pence. A coffee pot. Cheers! I am getting splattered over here! Two

can play at that game. Anything that you can find to make this. First

thing you need to do is decorate the plant pot or whatever is the base.

Paint that carefully. When you have finished you will end up with

something nice and colourful like this. The next thing that you need

to do is add to the top of it the bit where the birds are going to

sit. It's a good idea to put glue on that. Glue that on to the top of the

pot like that. If you add a few stones in to the top of that dish

they're going to create perches for the birds, because don't forget

birds have different leg lengths. If you put them in that will make

things nice and easy for the birds. We have used a cake tin. You can use

a dog bowl which is what this is, you can use a different bowl,

whatever you can find. It's a good idea to make your pot look

attractive because don't forget it's going to sit in the garden. But it's

also a good idea not to point it too brightly because that may scare off

birds. We have added ladybirds to the outside of mine. You have

feathers and buttons. What are you going to add, Evie? I am adding

feathers at the moment. You keep sticking those on. The stones on the

top will stop the dish reflecting and scaring off the birds. Once you

have put the stones in to the top like that all you do is pour in the

water for the birds to bathe in because there are lots of nasty

things flying around that can get into the birds' feathers and this

water means they can have a nice wash because in the hot weather

there isn't as nice puddles. This is going to help out the birds. Don't

put it under trees in case any cats jump down and interrupt the bath.

All the details are, as always, on the website. Do send us a picture

and let us know how you get on. You are making a real mess there! Having

fun? Yeah.That's the aim of the game. I have had a great idea about

the bird bath, it's creative. What you need to do, you don't have to

stand there all day, if you were to get a straw and fill it with loads

of water and blow into the water while the birds are having a bath,

that's a jacuzzi. Unless they don't ask, I haven't asked many. Let's see

how Chris is getting on. Before we see the end product. That's genius.

Let's see where it's gone. Let's start off with Rory on the end. An

elephant playing tennis at Wimbledon. It's a great idea. Then

the middle. The groundsmen would have a field day with that.

Especially when this next guy turns up. A monkey interrupted play. He

had a long tail. Great idea. Finally, this is the end. We wanted

a budgie. Evie is hold holding Budgie-zilla. It's brilliant. It's

very exciting. As is what is happening next week. I am fusing two

of my passions, music and Doctor Who. I can hear laughing in my ears,

I vice-president even played! I am -- I haven't even played. I am

playing the drop been in this week's -- trombone in this week's Proms in

the Royal Albert Hall Barney is making some of these bracelets. You

can get on online. It's Socks and Cookie's last appearance. Make sure

you send in your fan mail. there's posters and drawings, maybe

have a go at the - thank you for joining in our game of consequences.

Thank you very much. Now it's time for the fantastic new single from

Lawson, feature featuring. # You're not the girl I used to snow, how the

hell did you get so cold # I bet you kick yourself to know

# Got you brokenhearted I thought you were all I wanted

# Now the table's turned, lessons learned

# You got burnt # Hey girl look at what you started

# Played with love, got you brokenhearted

# La, la, la # La, lala

# I was standing in the dark, girl, but I am I am in control

# We're a million miles apart # But tell me why you sold your soul

# Cause now you are the lonely one # Since you let your colours show

# Baby, it's a long way home # Hey girl look at what you started,

played with love got you brokenhearted

# I thought you were all I wanted # All good since the day we parted

# Now the table's turned, lessons learned vp # You got burned

# Hey girl look at what you started # Played with love got you

brokenhearted # It's funny how the tables turned,

I was not vp # You noefr know # # What you get in return

# You only get what you earn # You weren't getting attention that

you really didn't deserve # But now I am feeling vicious

# You have been booted, that's just how I do it

# If I had a remote you would be muted

# You made your choice now you feeling foolish

# Lalalala # Hey girl look at what you started

Played with love got you brokenhearted

# I thought you were all I wanted # All good since the day we parted
