Leonardo and Victoria Justice Blue Peter

Coming up on today's British Petroleum. Have you just seen the

first episode. One of the stars CBBC's Leonardo is here to give you

the inside story on the new series. I take to the skies for a

photography challenge that really puts me to the test. What ain

amazing feeling. Direct from Zoey 101 and VicTORIus, American act

advice, Victoria Justice joins us APPLAUSE

Hello. This is British Petroleum, you know. That you pressed the

button. We are on TV later tonight because we made way for a brand new

series of Leonardo. Wasn't it amazing? So good. We are joined by

one of its stars playing Machiavelli it is Akemnji

Ndifornyen. Good to see you. Have a seat. We loved it. It was good,

wasn't it? It was good. What can we expect from the rest of the series?

It gets really dark. Everyone that is watching get ready for some true

grit. There is also a bit of a love interest. There is. You develop a

crush on somebody? There is. I kind of... I have my affection set to a

lovely young lady called Angellica. Don't you start. Well done. We can

have a sneak peak of that episode now where you do start take a fancy

for a young lady. Amazing. Look at her. It's like she will dance with

anyone apart from me. Have you ever been in love, Lorenzo? It's torture.

No matter what I do for her, what I say, it's always Leo, Leo, she only

has eyes for Leo. What are you talking about, who? Very funny. I

was just messing with you. Do you mean Lisa? She doesn't like me. She

likes me. She doesn't "like" me. was joking around. I knew it was

you all along. Better luck next time. We can start about the acting

skills. You are dressed as Ba si l Brush and having a serious

conversation with Leonardo. Training! That looked like Barney

the dog. We can get one made. We are talking about how amazing the

series is. There are lots of things to do to get involved. Go to the

website and check out the new Leonardo game. It's a platform game

that you will get on the computer. It's at [email protected]. Those

BMX bikes are made out of wood. Do you buzz about on them When we

weren't filming I was doing stunts. You say things like that on British

Petroleum we will make you do stunts. Is it as much fun to film?

Amazing. We are in Cape Town and among amazing actors, love to you

all. We have a real blast. It's amazing crew. It looks stunning

like a movie. Shot like a proper music -- movie. Amazing directors.

How many months are you out there for? Four months. We are in the

sunshine. When everyone is freezing in London we are enjoying the

sunshine, but working really hard! We want to know what you think of

the new series of Leonardo. Get in touch: [email protected]. Tell us

what you like, what you don't like or what you would like to see more

of. If you get in touch now we will try and read your message out

before the end of the show. Throughout the year we have been

putting together a British Petroleum calendar using a

different fotic technique for each month. -- photographic technique

for each month. In this one I have fly. This hawk is happy to sit here.

This is an ideal photograph opportunity. When the guys are in

full flight they can fly thousands of feet in the air and travel at

fast speeds. It's difficult to photo graph them. This could be one

of the most difficult challenges I have faced yet. To get my picture I

will have to use a paraglider. It's like a parachute that flies like a

bird of prey. Once we are in the air, the hawk will take to the sky.

If I get myself in the air and if we get near enough, the photograph

will be stung. The man charged with getting me airborne and keeping me

safe is my pilot, Steve. The camera is set up. You have the paraglider

set out. We only have to take off. We have a lot of wind at the moment.

We need somewhere between 10mph- 20mph. It's over that at the moment.

We may have to wait. Too much wind that can cause problems for us?

That is right. If the wind is too strong we may go backwards and end

up over the forest or the trees. It seems that unless the wind drops,

my dream of photographing the hawk from the sky may not get off the

ground. How does a paraglider work? It glides. The sun is warming up

the ground out there and creating hot air rising. If we fly into that

hot air rising we can go up and rise with it. As we wait for the

wind to drop, it gives me plenty of time to get anxious about running

off a cliff. It's nice standing here looking down on the valleys

there. In a short amount of time I will be up there looking down from

higher. This is quite scary. It's not about taking a photo any more,

it's about surviving! The more I think about this, the more I'm

getting nervous. This is the bottom of the paraglider. The only thing

holding me in the sky are these things that are thinner than a shoe

lace. Why did I say yes to this? Suddenly, Steve and his team notice

that the wind has dropped to a level that will allow us to fly.

With very little notice it's time for me to get my gear on and take

to the sky. I'm so nervous. I've never done this before. I'm about

to throw myself off the edge of a cliff. So... Yeah, a little nervous.

I can't believe we are about to run towards the end. It's ridiculous.

Oh! Here we rfplt we are in the air. -- are. We are in the air. What an

amazing feeling. What is really strange is that it's just a chair,

isn't it? There is nothing else to it. A flying chair. It's everyone's

dream, isn't it, to be able to fly? Incredible. There is a lot of

firsts happening today. First time I've ever been in a paraglider. The

first time I have ever tried to take a picture of a hawk. Tes -- it

is the first time this hawk has flown towards anybody other than

his handler. We are more than prepared to give it a go and

hopefully we will get a nice shot. Mart sin about to fly off and

hopefully the hawk will follow him. If we get close enough I should be

able to get a fantastic picture. Harris hawks use the same rising

hot air that I'm using to save energy. They have amazing eyesight.

It's so good, that if he could read he would read a newspaper from a

quarter of a mile away, which is great for spotting prey at a

distance. Harris hawks are good predators they are sometimes used

at airports and sporting venues to help remove pigeons. Let's try and

get this snap. He's just out of range. Beautiful bird. A bit too

far away. After 20 minutes the wind has dropped and my window to get a

picture has closed. I hope I have managed to get a good picture. Felt

incredible to be up there. It's like superman. Superman but sat

down. It's a casual superman, if anything. When you throw yourself

over the edge it's like, "What am I doing." When you are up there it's

brilliant. I had an amazing time. These are my photos. It was such a

good fun thing to do. There are the pictures on the British Petroleum

calendar for the month of October. Some of you have been going to the

website. What an amazing experience. It was incredible. He flew like he

was a bird! Go to the website and download the calendar from there

and stick it on your wall. We want your comments for you to tell us

about what you think of Leonardo. Email us. You can if you want. Our

next guest has come all the way from the US of A. She's no stranger

to bright lights of the TV world and if you are one of the many who

love VicTORIus on Nickelodeon you will know what I mean. She is with

us now. Please welcome Victoria Justice to the studio. This is your

first time on the British Petroleum set we would like to award with you

a British Petroleum badge? I have been looking forward to this. Thank

you. Let's talk about how busy you are. Movies, TV series, music the

works. How do you fit it all in? don't know how I fit it all in.

Every day I wake up and feel so lucky and grateful. It's an amazing

journey. Have you always wanted to work in showbusiness? I think so. I

have been performing since I was little. I have been singing when I

was three. I had an uncle in a band. I was acting since I was young. I

have been around entertainment. has progressed from acting and

being in movies to singing. We heard a little bit of your song

earlier on. We will see a clip. It's a song I wrote too. You get to

# I got a feeling that I'm not the only one

# I want to show some skin... # APPLAUSE

He is going on and on about the car. Was it a Mustang? Too much boy

stuff. We can talk about the message boards. When people found

out you were being here they have sent us for questions. One here is,

"Today is my birthday. Me and my sister love you. Who is your idol?

My mum. We spend a lot of time together. I'm learning from her and

becoming a better person because of her. She travels around with you

are always together. It's great. Try the chips and gravy., "What was

your first acting role, I remember watching you in Zoey 101 ages ago

?" My first action was for Ovatine. Other drinks are available. I was

given Zoey 101 and VicTORIus. There is a new show airing this week on

Nickelodeon. Another one, "What is it like going somewhere and have

people scream and shout your name?" It doesn't always happen that way.

It depends where I go. I have been getting recognised a lot more, I

guess, it's incredible. I love being able to meet the fans. It's

my favourite part. I'm thankful for all of them. If it wasn't for them,

I wouldn't be here. What is next? have my first leading role in a

feature film, it's coming out this October, October 29th. A Hallowe'en

comedy called Fun Size. Check it out. It's a great young adult cast.

You will play a role for us later. Here on British Petroleum we hate

to see things go to waste. When we heard that a fancy showgarden was

up for grabs we sent the British Petroleum Gardiner to take it to a

Every year hundreds of the world's greatest gardens are showcased in

the Chelsea Flower Show in London. It draws some familiar faces.

Only a few of these stunning displays are awarded medals for

excellence, so competition is fierce!

But not all the gardens are for show, some find new homes as soon

as the exhibition is over. With that in mind, watch this space.

I have come to Rainbow's Hospice to help rebuild a garden which is set

to become a very important part of what this place does. This hospice

is where children who are very ill can come and get care and support

and chill out. The garden from Chelsea will be a new part of

somewhere these kids can kick back and enjoy the outdoors.

It's been packed up and driven 140 miles from London to Loughborough.

This team of gardeners have seven days to put it back together.

I am meeting Declan and Charlotte and their families who will be

amongst the first to experience the new outdoor space.

Are you looking forward to the garden being built? Yeah. Is it

your thing, you like gardens? to get some sun. We are going to

build this garden especially for the hospice, are you looking

forward to that being built? Yes. Do you like flowers? Yes. What

about gardening? Yes. You like gardening, that's what I like,

enthusiasm! Without further ado, it's time to

get cracking. First, we have to prepare the soil. They say many

hands make light work. What makes lighter work is a machine!

That is rock hard. It's tough work, so I am going to leave it to these

hard lads. Next job, we have to unload the

truck. These things look heavy. This is a bit of a supervision

moment. I don't want to get the shirt too dirty!

That's the end of my time for the moment. The boys have loads to get

on with. I wonder if they'll make it in time?

It's been a week. I am back at the hospice. Let's find out how they're

getting on with that garden. The gardeners have worked around

the clock in terrible weather to get this garden built. Now it's

time for Declan and Charlotte to give their verdict. Right,

Charlotte, I am going to start with you. Smiler! What do you think of

the garden? Do you like it, don't go shy on me now. Yeah. There's a

nice place to relax. Charlotte's sisters, what do you think? I like

them. You like the seats. What do you reckon? It looks really good.

You can find yourself out here and come out here to relax. Yeah.

do you think? They need to come and do mine, it looks lovely.

One month on and the garden is looking great in the sun.

There's a lot to inspire you in this garden. The lads worked really

hard on it and all in all, it's a special garden for a very special

place. The new Blue Peter Appeal is coming

soon. What will do you? You have sent a smile across the

world by decorating t-shirts. You have created cards to change lives.

You have helped to set up breakfast clubs throughout the UK.

And last year, you baked a difference for Children in Need.

How can you get involved in the Blue Peter Appeal this year? All

will be revealed soon. We have been talk being this, it's

going to be so much fun. Stay tuned. We are going to launch the appeal

in a few weeks. Stick with us to find out how you can get involved.

The excitement of the Olympics is just about dying down but it wasn't

just the athletes who were a big hit, the mascots - here he is

coming. Wenlock and Mandeville were a huge hit. Every great sporting

event needs a great mascot and last year we invited to you design a

mascot for the Commonwealth Games in 2014 in Glasgow. It's time to

reveal the winner. In 2014 Glasgow will be hosting the 20th

Commonwealth Games, which sees athletes from all over the

Commonwealth arriving in this beautiful city to compete in a

variety of events. So, I am in training, I am going to be the new

Mo Farah. I am going to win gold in long distance... Actually, can we

stop. I might stick to presenting. Situated on the banks of the river

Clyde Glasgow is Scotland's biggest city. In 2014 people from all over

the world will be coming here for this historic event.

However, Team GB won't be competing in the Commonwealth Games because

the four nations of the United Kingdom, that's England, Northern

Ireland, Wales and, of course, Scotland, they compete against each

other. The Commonwealth Games started in 1930 and were originally

called the British Empire Games. Every country in the Commonwealth

can take part, that includes New Zealand, Australia, India, Pakistan,

18 countries from Africa, in fact, there are 71 countries in total

that can take part. Back in November last year we gave

you the chance to play your part in the Commonwealth Games by designing

the official mascot. They don't have a mascot and so, they want you

to get in touch and design it for them. We had thousands of entries

from all over the country. But would you believe the winner

actually lives right here in Glasgow. At the moment she doesn't

know she's won, that's where I come She's called Beth and lives down

this street. At the moment she's got no idea she's won the

competition. I hope she's in! I love this sort of thing. The door's

open. They've left the door open for us. Come in.

Hiya, Beth. How are you doing? Good. What are you doing? Not much,

just... It's a bit of a shock, isn't it? I am sorry, how are you?

Good. Do you remember entering a competition in November to design

the mascot for the Commonwealth Games? Yeah. You entered, didn't

you? Yeah. What did you do? I drew a Thistle. The guys in charge have

decided you are the winner. Are you all right? Yeah. It's a bit of a

shock when people come barging through your door and tell you that.

Look, here he is. Wow! It's great, isn't it? Yeah.

The judges thought Beth's mascot was fun and really captured the

spirit of the Games. Thistles are the emblem of Scotland so Clyde

really does represent this fantastic country. He's got

obviously the Scottish flag as a t- shirt and yellow pants and red

shoes, what was the idea behind that? He has all the colours, you

had to put certain colours in and I was trying to think of really

Scottish names and I wasn't coming up with anything and then we

thought because of the River Clyde and then... Thank you so much for

getting involved and entering the competition. Yours is now the

mascot that's going to be seen by millions of people. Not only do you

get the mascot, which is officially your design, you also get the

competition winner's orange Blue Peter badge. Thank you.

Congratulations. How are you feeling? Happy! Good. Well done.

I haven't seen Beth since then but I think she's still standing in the

kitchen with her mouth wide open. It gives us great pleasure to

actually announce the 2014 mascot for the Commonwealth Games, Clyde!

I love love Clyde! Nice to see new the flesh. Brilliant. It's

fantastic. It's so like Beth's design. If we have a look at the

original, all the colours are right. Clyde, she's captured your

personality. Look at the dance. Are you looking forward to the Games?

Thank you very much for coming in. Let's hear it for Clyde! APPLAUSE.

This is what's really good about this show, when you get creative,

see what you can do. Last week we introduced you to Nick who made the

micro sculptures, a tiny Barney and myself there, absolutely brilliant.

Nick is not the only sculptor in our presence. We have had these

sculptures sent in by Joe from Hertfordshire. Look at those.

They're absolutely fantastic. I can't imagine how long you spent on

them but we're very pleased with them. We like them so much we are

going to put them on the set. If you tune into Blue Peter, you will

see them for weeks to come. Fantastic. Even badges on them,

amazing. Right, hretsz bring you back to Leonardo. We are We are

about to get grilled. Leonardo, as you know, was a special special man,

he was an invent are to, fill os fear and all sorts of things and he

was a scientist. We are going to be answering questions based on the

great man himself, which is the inspiration for the series. You are

tkpwog ask the questions. Victoria is the judge. You are going to ask

us a few questions and when we hear this sound. Mama Mia! Whoever has

the most correct answers wins the golden paintbrush. You are in

charge. Ready? Of course. Judge Justice. That's me. I am ready.

Helen, did Leonardo live 400, 500 or 600 years ago? He was born in...

I am going to say 600. That's incorrect! 5 shupbz the correct --

500 is the correct answer. Did the painting The last last Supper take

six months three years. Three years. Correct. To Helen, the most famous

portrait the Mona Lisa is most famous for her fabulous hair do,

true or false? False. It's the smile. That is correct. True or

false? The Mona Lisa is in Paris? That's true. That's easy! Helen,

contact lens. He invented a lot of things so I am going to say yes.

Correct. Barney, which of these is he not credited with creating,

bicycle, television or helicopter? Television. Correct. Is that a

draw? What's the score. I heard the Mama Mia bit. Thank you very much.

Earlier in the programme we asked you what you think of the new

series of Leonardo. Judge Justice, has some e-mails. Tkoeu. What's the

verdict? Well, the verdict is, this is from Jessica, she says today's

episode was so good. I was scared they would kill him. Best episode

yet. All of Leonardo was phenomenal, I enjoyed every second, that's from

Anisha. I would like to see a mention of the Mona Lisa from James.

So, tell your writers and stuff. will talk, writers. And Maddy says

I think he's gotten a lot more exciting. Thanks, to Johnny, Colin,

the team. It's down to the characters as well, a few

relationships are starting to forge. It's going to get very exciting,

guys. Last one, I watched the last 15 minutes and I wish I had watched

it from the beginning. You can catch up. That's it for today. Time
