Coming up on today's show, find out if this airplane wing,

7:29:337:29:36

which is the same length as three double-decker buses,

7:29:367:29:38

will make it through a tiny French village.

7:29:387:29:41

And what do you get if you cross Sam and Mark,

7:29:417:29:43

table tennis balls, plastic bottles and balloons?

7:29:437:29:46

Plus it's competition time.

7:29:467:29:47

What story would you tell if you only had 500 words?

7:29:477:29:51

That's all coming up on today's live Blue Peter.

7:29:517:29:53

Don't go anywhere!

7:29:537:29:55

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

7:30:107:30:13

Hello! I do like a round of applause to start the show.

7:30:137:30:16

You're watching Blue Peter. You know that, you pressed the button.

7:30:167:30:19

It seems weird to fit all that into half an hour, but we will.

7:30:197:30:22

-We've got a special screwdriver.

-Blue Peter magic.

7:30:227:30:24

We're live, as Barney said.

7:30:247:30:26

Which means we want you to get in touch and join in.

7:30:267:30:29

Later in the show, we're going to be talking

7:30:297:30:31

about Radio 2's 500 WORDS competition.

7:30:317:30:33

So today, we're thinking all about words, aren't we?

7:30:337:30:36

-Yes, we are, Lindsey.

-Yes! RADZI LAUGHS

7:30:367:30:38

We want to know what is your favourite word...

7:30:387:30:41

-BOTH:

-And why.

-Mine has to be boom.

7:30:417:30:43

There's no better way to describe something awesome than boom.

7:30:437:30:46

-You say it all the time.

-Blancmange is a great word.

7:30:467:30:49

It's quite French, as well, at the end there.

7:30:497:30:51

-With the "ggg"!

-Well done.

-Thank you. I've been practising.

7:30:517:30:54

What's your favourite word? Get in touch and tell us...

7:30:547:30:57

We'll try and read out as many as we can at the end of the show.

7:30:577:31:01

-That's right. So, why don't you pootle over to the website.

-Pootle?

7:31:017:31:04

-Do you actually say that word?

-Yes, pootle.

7:31:047:31:06

It means to go at a leisurely pace. It's my favourite word.

7:31:067:31:08

-It's a good word.

-Reminds me of my

-nan. I like that.

7:31:087:31:11

I'll do a leisurely stroll now, but it's not a pootle,

7:31:117:31:13

it's more of a soar, which is what you're doing, flying above my head.

7:31:137:31:16

I love anything and everything to do with planes and I've been

7:31:167:31:20

lucky enough on Blue Peter to do some pretty incredible stuff.

7:31:207:31:22

I've walked on them, I've actually flown planes,

7:31:227:31:25

and, as you can see here, I was pretty excited about it.

7:31:257:31:28

Aaargh!

7:31:337:31:34

So imagine how excited I was when the Blue Peter team told me

7:31:417:31:44

that the wings for the biggest passenger plane in the world

7:31:447:31:47

are made right here in the UK.

7:31:477:31:49

I just had to go and find out a little bit more about it.

7:31:497:31:52

So, this is the start of what turned out to be a thousand-mile adventure.

7:31:527:31:56

This is the extraordinary story of how an aeroplane is made.

7:32:017:32:05

Its parts are made all over Europe.

7:32:057:32:07

The tail section is made in Spain,

7:32:077:32:09

the rear section is made in Germany, the wings are made in Great Britain

7:32:097:32:13

and then it's all brought together and assembled in France.

7:32:137:32:16

Now that sounds quite complicated.

7:32:167:32:18

Well, it is complicated, because this is no ordinary plane.

7:32:187:32:22

This thing is big.

7:32:227:32:24

And I mean big!

7:32:247:32:26

Big! Big!

7:32:287:32:30

Big!

7:32:307:32:31

Big.

7:32:317:32:33

Say hello to the Airbus A380.

7:32:337:32:38

This is the largest passenger plane in the world.

7:32:387:32:41

Its tail fin is as high as an eight storey building.

7:32:417:32:44

It's as long as two blue whales.

7:32:447:32:47

It can carry 850 passengers and has a take-off weight of 560 tonnes.

7:32:477:32:53

That's the same as 400 family cars.

7:32:537:32:56

How this thing gets off the ground in the first place is a miracle

7:32:567:32:58

of engineering, but it's largely to do with those mammoth wings.

7:32:587:33:02

Those wings are so big that,

7:33:027:33:03

in all this time of me telling you these amazing facts,

7:33:037:33:06

I haven't even been able to get from one side to the other.

7:33:067:33:09

It's huge.

7:33:097:33:11

But before the wings can make this plane take flight,

7:33:127:33:15

each one needs to take a thousand-mile trip

7:33:157:33:18

from the wing factory in Wales to the final assembly line in France.

7:33:187:33:22

It's a monumentally complicated and ambitious journey.

7:33:227:33:26

So I thought I'd volunteer to help. Bring it on!

7:33:267:33:30

This is where the journey begins.

7:33:307:33:32

Well, actually, that's just a stream. Sorry.

7:33:327:33:34

This is where the journey begins - the wing factory in North Wales.

7:33:347:33:39

This place is the size of 12 football pitches

7:33:397:33:43

and it's so easy to get lost in here.

7:33:437:33:45

I'll be all right, though. I'll just WING it!

7:33:457:33:48

'One wing takes 87 days to travel round the factory,

7:33:487:33:52

'transformed from raw materials until, finally,

7:33:527:33:55

'it's all wrapped up, literally.' Can you imagine trying to wrap that?

7:33:557:33:59

You know how difficult birthday presents can be.

7:33:597:34:01

Luckily, you don't have to. It's been done by professionals.

7:34:017:34:04

As soon as that goes out of that door,

7:34:047:34:05

the journey starts to get very exciting.

7:34:057:34:08

But how do you move a wing the size of three double-decker buses?

7:34:087:34:13

Easy! You use one of these - a mega truck!

7:34:137:34:16

With a staggering 96 wheels, this is the Big Daddy of gadgets

7:34:167:34:21

and they've given me the controller.

7:34:217:34:23

HE LAUGHS, TRUCK BEEPS

7:34:237:34:26

Ooh, there's your big... This is brilliant.

7:34:267:34:30

-Not too bad, that, for first go.

-Right, let's get a wing on it, yeah?

7:34:337:34:37

So, now the low loader is in place, what they've got to do is use

7:34:387:34:42

hydraulics to push it up and lift this entire thing off the ground.

7:34:427:34:46

That is incredibly heavy.

7:34:467:34:48

'All that's left to do is secure the wing...

7:34:487:34:51

'and we're ready for take-off.'

7:34:517:34:53

I love my job.

7:34:537:34:55

MUSIC: "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss

7:34:557:34:58

This thing is a monster.

7:35:157:35:18

This wing is now going to make its journey down this road

7:35:187:35:21

towards a barge that's waiting on some water.

7:35:217:35:23

The next stage of the journey begins.

7:35:257:35:27

'And the mega truck is so clever,

7:35:277:35:29

'it's now steering itself,

7:35:297:35:30

'following radio signals transmitted from the road

7:35:307:35:33

'to keep all those wheels on the straight and narrow.

7:35:337:35:35

'Or not so straight and very narrow.'

7:35:357:35:38

It's got to make it round this corner on the bridge.

7:35:387:35:41

Just watch how close it gets to the curb here.

7:35:417:35:43

'With inches to spare, we've made it to the river.'

7:35:487:35:51

Job done.

7:35:537:35:54

Ha! Who am I kidding?

7:35:547:35:56

It's another day and it's another bizarre image.

7:35:597:36:02

Look at that! A massive wing on a boat.

7:36:027:36:05

Now the wing will make its next part of its journey

7:36:057:36:07

down the river and hopefully under some bridges.

7:36:077:36:10

So, the captain has got to judge it just right, because, if the

7:36:107:36:12

water level is too high, that wing will not fit under those bridges.

7:36:127:36:17

That could be a problem.

7:36:177:36:18

If we're quick enough, we can get to that first bridge

7:36:187:36:20

and see if it fits. Come on.

7:36:207:36:22

You can see how close it is from the bottom of the bridge

7:36:277:36:30

and the top of the boat.

7:36:307:36:32

Whoa, that is so close!

7:36:327:36:34

I'm pretty sure this next bridge is actually a lot lower.

7:36:347:36:37

It doesn't look like that's going to fit, from here.

7:36:377:36:39

It is so, so close.

7:36:417:36:42

'This amazing wing has already had quite a journey down road

7:36:437:36:47

'and river, over and under bridges and now it powers on towards

7:36:477:36:50

'the docks, to be shipped to another country.'

7:36:507:36:53

Despite all it's been through so far,

7:36:547:36:57

this has been the easy part of the journey.

7:36:577:36:59

I cannot wait to see what happens when it gets to France.

7:36:597:37:02

I'll see you there.

7:37:027:37:04

That is going to be amazing, and part two is coming up later in the show.

7:37:067:37:10

Now, are you a budding JK Rowling,

7:37:107:37:11

or do you aspire to write as well as Anthony Horowitz?

7:37:117:37:14

If so, listen up,

7:37:147:37:16

because, this week, the 500 WORDS competition was launched,

7:37:167:37:18

and Barney went to London to find out a little bit more.

7:37:187:37:21

It's early morning in the capital city.

7:37:237:37:25

Everything is quiet, peaceful, serene.

7:37:257:37:28

# Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday... #

7:37:307:37:32

That is, until DJ Chris Evans wakes up the nation

7:37:327:37:36

with the UK's favourite breakfast show.

7:37:367:37:38

# The Chris Evans Breakfast Show! #

7:37:387:37:41

I'm at the home of Radio 2 and, in a few minutes,

7:37:417:37:44

I'm going to be live on air to talk about 500 WORDS 2014,

7:37:447:37:47

the short story writing competition which gives you the chance

7:37:477:37:50

to let your imagination run wild.

7:37:507:37:52

Last year, I had the pleasure of reading out

7:37:547:37:56

one of the winning stories at the 500 WORDS final in Hay-on-Wye.

7:37:567:38:00

"It was by chance that I met B, or 1069B, to give him his real name."

7:38:007:38:05

It really was a fantastic experience and so when Chris asked me

7:38:057:38:08

to get involved again this year, I jumped at the chance.

7:38:087:38:11

On the way on the show, Barney from Blue Peter

7:38:117:38:13

talking about 500 WORDS,

7:38:137:38:15

along with head judge Richard Hammond.

7:38:157:38:19

So, we're about to go live on BBC Radio 2.

7:38:197:38:21

This show has over ten million listeners.

7:38:217:38:23

Let's go and spread the word. Well, all 500 of them.

7:38:237:38:26

Barney, tell us about your experience there last year.

7:38:267:38:29

In many ways, you saved the day, didn't you?

7:38:297:38:31

It was kind of last minute last year.

7:38:317:38:33

Helen Skelton was supposed to be reading the story that

7:38:337:38:35

Olivia Hunt wrote, and she got a bit ill, so, the night before,

7:38:357:38:38

I get a phone call.

7:38:387:38:39

So, when I read the actual story on the day,

7:38:397:38:41

it was the first time I'd read it through.

7:38:417:38:43

You asked Olivia what she thought about me reading the story.

7:38:437:38:46

She said, "Well, it's OK, but he's not a girl."

7:38:467:38:49

A good book has to take you somewhere, doesn't it?

7:38:497:38:51

Yeah, a good book has to take you somewhere. There should be a journey.

7:38:517:38:55

I think the fact that it's 500 words is one of the keys that helps

7:38:557:38:58

the children do that, because you've got to get on with it.

7:38:587:39:01

And also what's great about 500 words is it's not too daunting,

7:39:017:39:04

cos it's not too many.

7:39:047:39:05

The website is up and running.

7:39:057:39:07

This year, it's got a new little character, Alphabot.

7:39:077:39:09

-Brilliant.

-Alphabot can say hello to us.

7:39:097:39:12

-'Happy Monday!'

-That's Alphabot for you! How good is he?

7:39:127:39:16

We had 90,000 entrants last year

7:39:167:39:18

and they go through two phases.

7:39:187:39:20

They get whittled down to the top 50 and then we, the judges,

7:39:207:39:24

sit down, read all 50

7:39:247:39:25

and sit round a table for as long as it takes to put across,

7:39:257:39:29

"Right, I think this one should go forward," or, "I think this one."

7:39:297:39:32

And they are all amazing. It is a pleasure.

7:39:327:39:35

This isn't homework.

7:39:357:39:36

You're sitting down to read 50 exciting, fabulous stories.

7:39:367:39:40

-Headline time, please.

-500 words is the limit.

7:39:407:39:42

There are two categories - nine and under, or ten to thirteen.

7:39:427:39:45

And really two big rules to think about.

7:39:457:39:47

Your story must be completely made-up and no more than 500 words.

7:39:477:39:51

But, believe me, that is enough.

7:39:517:39:53

In those 500 words, you can take us to space,

7:39:537:39:55

it might be cowboys, heroes, criminals, villains.

7:39:557:39:57

It's your imagination. It's entirely up to you. Be in charge.

7:39:577:40:01

'I've loved every minute of being on the Breakfast Show,

7:40:017:40:04

'but it's only fair that the person who has the last word

7:40:047:40:07

'on 500 WORDS is Mr Chris Evans.'

7:40:077:40:10

Blue Peter viewers!

7:40:107:40:11

500 WORDS 2014 needs you.

7:40:117:40:15

Go to the Radio 2 website at bbc.co.uk/radio2

7:40:157:40:19

and 500 WORDS to find out more now.

7:40:197:40:22

Now if you are thinking of entering, the details are also on

7:40:237:40:27

our website, plus we've got somebody who I think might just inspire you.

7:40:277:40:32

That's right. She's the author of the Darcy Burdock series.

7:40:327:40:34

She's toured all over the world telling her stories and,

7:40:347:40:37

on top of that, she even illustrates all of her own work. She's a genius.

7:40:377:40:40

-Incredible!

-Please welcome to the studio the amazing Laura Dockrill.

7:40:407:40:43

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

7:40:437:40:45

-Hello!

-Welcome, Laura.

7:40:457:40:47

-Step on up.

-Hello. How are you doing?

7:40:477:40:49

-Very well, now that you're here, Laura.

-Oh, thanks!

7:40:497:40:52

Now, Laura, as a writer, what advice would you have

7:40:527:40:55

for any viewers hoping to write a 500 word story?

7:40:557:40:58

What I would say, use your imagination,

7:40:587:41:00

trust your instinct and be brave.

7:41:007:41:01

I love when people have pushed themselves

7:41:017:41:03

in the stories they write.

7:41:037:41:04

When you're reading a story, what makes you excited?

7:41:047:41:07

For me, it's all about character.

7:41:077:41:09

I think if somebody's pushed themselves,

7:41:097:41:11

found that good character, that can guide a whole story.

7:41:117:41:14

-Humour, as well, sometimes.

-Humour is a winner, always.

7:41:147:41:16

I feel you can't go wrong with humour.

7:41:167:41:18

-If you've made someone smile.

-And, as a special treat,

7:41:187:41:20

you've written your very own 500 word story

7:41:207:41:23

and you're going to perform a bit of it for us in the studio.

7:41:237:41:25

-So, I'll let you go and get ready.

-OK, thank you very much.

7:41:257:41:29

And whilst Laura gets ready, this is exclusively for you at home -

7:41:297:41:32

The Smile That Was Left At Home is being written, performed

7:41:327:41:35

and beautifully illustrated by Laura Dockrill.

7:41:357:41:38

Joe had left his smile at home.

7:41:387:41:41

He was only out with Dad, so he wouldn't need it.

7:41:417:41:44

He put it underneath his favourite comedian Ali-Greater's joke book.

7:41:447:41:49

It would be safe there.

7:41:497:41:50

Dad sighed, disappointed.

7:41:507:41:52

"I made sure you inherited my dazzling smile

7:41:527:41:55

"and what do you do with it? Leave it at home!

7:41:557:41:58

"You never know when you might need a smile

7:41:587:42:01

"and we're at the zoo today."

7:42:017:42:02

Of course! How could Joe have forgotten?

7:42:027:42:05

He'd been so wrapped up in the Ali-Greater book

7:42:057:42:08

that it had slipped his mind.

7:42:087:42:10

What a stupid day to leave his smile at home!

7:42:107:42:13

There was so much to smile at.

7:42:137:42:15

Penguins waddling,

7:42:157:42:16

meerkats standing upright like electrified teddy bears,

7:42:167:42:20

pigs snuffling, monkeys pulling faces.

7:42:207:42:24

They reached the alligators,

7:42:247:42:26

when Joe heard a voice he recognised.

7:42:267:42:28

"Isn't that...?" Dad started to say.

7:42:287:42:31

"Ali-Greater!" Joe squealed. He was right there, in the zoo,

7:42:317:42:36

doing some filming for his TV show.

7:42:367:42:39

He was dressed as an alligator and was being hysterical, as always.

7:42:397:42:44

"I don't believe it!" Joe gawped, "He's my favourite!"

7:42:447:42:49

"Go over," Dad nudged, "Get an autograph."

7:42:497:42:52

"I'm so excited!" Joe flapped over

7:42:527:42:54

with Dad following, all jumpy behind.

7:42:547:42:56

"Stand back, kid! We're filming!"

7:42:567:42:59

grunted a bossy man with a clipboard.

7:42:597:43:02

Ali-Greater smiled.

7:43:027:43:03

He really was a nice man.

7:43:037:43:06

"I'm your biggest fan!" Joe gushed, "I know all your jokes!

7:43:067:43:09

"I read your book every night!"

7:43:097:43:11

Ali-Greater laughed. "Awesome.

7:43:117:43:13

"Why don't you jump in a scene with me?

7:43:137:43:15

"I'm filming something for my show, be great to get you in."

7:43:157:43:19

The bossy man with the clipboard didn't seem too happy,

7:43:197:43:22

but Dad seemed proud.

7:43:227:43:24

"I'll say a few jokes and you laugh, cool?"

7:43:247:43:28

Not cool. Not cool at all.

7:43:287:43:31

Joe began to sweat. Dad gulped.

7:43:317:43:34

They both knew that Joe had left his smile at home.

7:43:347:43:38

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

7:43:387:43:41

Laura, thank you so much.

7:43:417:43:42

-That was lovely.

-Thank you.

7:43:427:43:45

Now, for those of you at home, you may have noticed,

7:43:457:43:47

that was only 289 words, not the full 500.

7:43:477:43:50

So, if you do want to find out how that story ends,

7:43:507:43:52

just jump onto our website...

7:43:527:43:54

Plus you can find out how to enter the competition yourselves.

7:43:567:43:59

Barney, why so sad?

7:43:597:44:01

Sorry, Radzi, I left my smile at home.

7:44:017:44:04

I'm only kidding. Come back! I've got a cracker, watch this...

7:44:047:44:07

Let's talk about what happened earlier, shall we?

7:44:077:44:10

We were following the story of a massive aeroplane wing

7:44:107:44:12

as it made its way to France.

7:44:127:44:14

The last time you saw it, it was on a boat,

7:44:147:44:15

and, since then, it's arrived at France.

7:44:157:44:17

So, things are about to get tricky.

7:44:177:44:19

Will the massive wing make it through le petit village?

7:44:197:44:22

Or will it end up hitting the maisons? That's French for houses.

7:44:227:44:25

It's about to get really exciting.

7:44:257:44:27

And you get to see some more of my French skill. Voila.

7:44:277:44:30

Bonjour. Foufe de la poupe de champignon de slippy slipper.

7:44:367:44:40

I don't speak French.

7:44:407:44:41

But I am in France, in a lovely little village called Levignac.

7:44:417:44:44

Lots of history here, beautiful ornate buildings.

7:44:447:44:47

But it is a village, which means it's quite small.

7:44:477:44:50

And that could be a problem.

7:44:507:44:53

Because this very narrow street behind me

7:44:537:44:55

is the only street they can use to transport the massive parts

7:44:557:44:59

that make the biggest passenger aeroplane in the world.

7:44:597:45:02

This double-decker plane is truly massive. I've been following

7:45:047:45:09

the extraordinary journey of its mighty wings.

7:45:097:45:12

The last time I saw one was in North Wales,

7:45:127:45:15

and, from there, a ferry carries the wings to the south of France.

7:45:157:45:18

But to get to the factory, the only option is to go by road.

7:45:187:45:22

Which is why it's got to come through here.

7:45:247:45:27

And I don't think it's going to fit!

7:45:277:45:30

'To cause the least disruption to the locals,

7:45:327:45:34

'the convoy must come through here at night,

7:45:347:45:37

'which gives me time to see a finished A380 up close

7:45:377:45:40

'with chief test pilot Peter Chandler.'

7:45:407:45:43

I think the first thing you notice is the staircase, isn't it?

7:45:437:45:45

-It's such a huge plane. It has an upstairs, as well.

-That's right.

7:45:457:45:48

That's the unique thing about this aeroplane is that it has

7:45:487:45:51

a full double-deck, so there's a main passenger deck here

7:45:517:45:53

and there's another full passenger deck upstairs.

7:45:537:45:56

So, yes, we have a big staircase there.

7:45:567:45:58

The scale of this thing is just incredible.

7:45:587:46:00

This is all very impressive

7:46:007:46:01

and it's the bit we've come to see but, more importantly,

7:46:017:46:04

the bit you get to play with, the cockpit.

7:46:047:46:06

Do you want to go there now?

7:46:067:46:07

I would love to. It's not even my birthday.

7:46:077:46:10

In the end, you've got all the gadgets that you need

7:46:137:46:15

when you're in the air and that's all fine

7:46:157:46:17

and we like learning about it, but the key question is,

7:46:177:46:20

how fast does it go?

7:46:207:46:22

Around 600mph is the speed over the ground.

7:46:227:46:25

And, of course, in testing, although that's the normal cruising speed,

7:46:257:46:28

we have to take it significantly faster than that.

7:46:287:46:31

'This is so cool. And it's about to get cooler.'

7:46:317:46:34

There you go.

7:46:347:46:35

Always wanted to do this. Thank you, Peter.

7:46:357:46:38

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the captain speaking.

7:46:387:46:41

I hope you enjoy your flight today.

7:46:417:46:42

I've never flown one of these before, but it should be OK.

7:46:427:46:45

I'm just going to get it started.

7:46:457:46:47

Get the keys out of the glove box and, yeah, we'll be on our way.

7:46:477:46:51

Sit back and relax and enjoy the flight. OK. Bye.

7:46:517:46:55

Excellent, right, um... How do we start it?

7:46:557:46:59

'But before you can fly a plane, you have to build a plane,

7:46:597:47:02

'and, for that, you need parts.'

7:47:027:47:04

So, the wing has travelled 1,000 miles by road, river and sea

7:47:047:47:08

and has finally arrived here in France,

7:47:087:47:10

ready for the final leg of its journey.

7:47:107:47:12

If you look in the distance,

7:47:127:47:13

it's been joined by other parts of the plane.

7:47:137:47:15

It's got to be one of the most bonkers plane jigsaws

7:47:157:47:17

I've ever seen. This all goes together to make one whole plane.

7:47:177:47:20

Have you ever seen anything like it?

7:47:207:47:22

They'll need a lot of glue, I know that.

7:47:227:47:24

I've done these myself. But smaller versions, obviously.

7:47:247:47:27

I want one.

7:47:277:47:29

Apparently, there are some really big plane parts just here,

7:47:307:47:33

but, um, I can't find them. I guess that was a tall "tail".

7:47:337:47:36

So, this is it, the convoy is leaving.

7:47:387:47:41

All these parts of the plane are heading to the factory

7:47:417:47:43

to be assembled together. But don't forget,

7:47:437:47:45

they've all got to get through

7:47:457:47:46

that really tiny village that we saw. And look at the size of it!

7:47:467:47:49

It doesn't even seem possible that that will happen.

7:47:497:47:52

So what we will try and do now is get back in the car,

7:47:527:47:54

get ahead of them all and see if the village

7:47:547:47:56

is still standing by the time they get through it. Come on.

7:47:567:47:58

So it's just gone past midnight here in Levignac.

7:48:047:48:07

What would normally be a very quiet and dimly lit street

7:48:077:48:10

is buzzing with flashing lights.

7:48:107:48:12

I am so excited, and so is the rest of the village.

7:48:127:48:14

Lots of people have turned out to see this happen.

7:48:147:48:16

Especially because of the bit it's about to go through.

7:48:167:48:19

You can see how tight this space is.

7:48:197:48:20

Now, this wing costs a fortune, and where it's about to go right now

7:48:207:48:24

is a really tight part of the village.

7:48:247:48:26

Look how close that is!

7:48:267:48:28

I can't believe what I'm seeing. You'd never see an aeroplane

7:48:287:48:31

flying this low through a village, that's for sure.

7:48:317:48:33

What an incredible thing to see. That's just the tail of a huge plane

7:48:337:48:38

being driven through the centre of a village after midnight.

7:48:387:48:42

Do you know what I think would be quite funny, is the people

7:48:427:48:45

that are up in these houses here on the first floor,

7:48:457:48:47

just having a cup of tea and a plane just goes past the window.

7:48:477:48:50

I mean, look at the size of that thing! Just look at that!

7:48:507:48:53

It's the only journey this aircraft can do to get to the factories.

7:48:547:48:58

They took that in mind when designing it,

7:48:587:49:00

so that it did actually fit through the village.

7:49:007:49:02

That's engineering for you.

7:49:027:49:04

Look how close that is there to the roof as it goes through.

7:49:047:49:07

Any tighter or any closer to that roof

7:49:077:49:10

and somebody would wake up with no roof on their house.

7:49:107:49:12

So there it is - the final piece in this rather incredible jigsaw -

7:49:177:49:20

the last part of the plane

7:49:207:49:22

on its way to the factory before it gets assembled.

7:49:227:49:24

So it's the last stage of its journey down here

7:49:247:49:26

before it begins thousands more up there. Incredible.

7:49:267:49:30

Ooh, just! Just got through! I'm glad it did. Now...

7:49:337:49:36

time for something very different, because Sam and Mark are here!

7:49:367:49:40

-CHEERING Hello, Sam and Mark.

-Hello!

7:49:407:49:44

-Thanks for joining us on Blue Peter today.

-Thanks for having us.

7:49:447:49:47

-You're going to help me make a mini game, aren't you?

-Yes.

7:49:477:49:49

A very exciting one. But to help it make a bit more sense,

7:49:497:49:52

let's have a look at this first.

7:49:527:49:54

Let's do this! It's time to wind up your dad. Get winding, go on!

7:49:547:49:58

Audience, where should we take him?

7:49:597:50:02

AUDIENCE: To the top!

7:50:027:50:04

What are you waiting for? In three, two, one, release the Dad!

7:50:047:50:08

CHEERING

7:50:087:50:10

-APPLAUSE Yes!

-Throw him down! Throw him down!

7:50:157:50:18

-Outrageous! Dad pin bowling.

-Yeah!

-Yes!

-Tell me more.

7:50:187:50:21

Um, we stick a dad in, um, basically a massive leotard,

7:50:217:50:26

stick him in a bowling ball and put him right down the middle.

7:50:267:50:30

-For revenge?

-Yes. At the top of every show,

7:50:307:50:33

we get a kid out of the audience whose parents have embarrassed them

7:50:337:50:36

-and that's the way of them getting their own back.

-OK.

7:50:367:50:38

-There's Mum pin bowling too.

-Barney Harwood pin bowling?

7:50:387:50:41

-We could do!

-That would be fun.

-I'd love to see that.

7:50:417:50:44

-I'd love to see that!

-Anyway, let's get on with this.

7:50:447:50:46

We'll show you how to make a mini version of the game.

7:50:467:50:48

So, don't be worried, you don't need a dad or a mum or anything.

7:50:487:50:51

You just need ping-pong balls, or table tennis balls.

7:50:517:50:54

You need, what are they? Tennis balls, juggling balls,

7:50:547:50:56

you need a pair of scissors, some food colouring...

7:50:567:50:59

-One juggling ball!

-..a plastic bottle and some scissors.

7:50:597:51:02

-I think that's everything. Shall we get started?

-Let's do it.

7:51:027:51:04

The first thing you need to do is get your bottle, undo the lid,

7:51:047:51:07

like so, and then pour in and fill it up with about...

7:51:077:51:12

Oh, dear, I've got it all over the table. ..about a third of water.

7:51:127:51:15

-So exciting! I've never done a make.

-Have you not?

7:51:157:51:18

-This is big-time, man.

-It's a good one.

7:51:187:51:20

-What are you smelling?

-Lime was in that.

-Really?

7:51:207:51:22

Remember, all the details are on the website...

7:51:227:51:25

Now, I'm going to funk mine up a bit with a tiny bit of food colouring.

7:51:277:51:31

-Somewhere there?

-Here we go.

-Thank you.

7:51:317:51:33

And you just need a few drops of this

7:51:337:51:35

and it just makes it look a bit individual.

7:51:357:51:37

-Like that. Would you like some?

-Yeah!

-There you go.

7:51:377:51:40

And then you need to put your lid on nice and tightly, like so,

7:51:407:51:43

give it a little shake and you've got the beginning of your skittle there.

7:51:437:51:47

It's looking nice and green. Now, to make it look more skittle like,

7:51:477:51:51

you need to get the top on it.

7:51:517:51:52

So I'm going to grab the ping-pong ball and a balloon.

7:51:527:51:55

-Could you pass the balloon?

-Yeah.

7:51:557:51:57

And you might need to help me with this, because it's a bit tricky.

7:51:577:52:00

A Blue Peter top tip is just cut the end of the balloon, like so,

7:52:007:52:03

-because that makes it a bit easier to get that table tennis ball in.

-OK.

7:52:037:52:08

-And then, here we go. Give us a hand.

-Of course.

7:52:087:52:11

Can you help me get that in there?

7:52:117:52:12

-I'll do more on my own, shall I?

-It's not easy.

7:52:127:52:14

-Oh, there we go. Like a pro.

-Almost!

-Almost done it.

7:52:147:52:18

-Didn't want to do it...

-And then, the next thing you need to do is just

7:52:187:52:22

slot that on the top of the water bottle, like so. There you go.

7:52:227:52:26

-It's starting to look more skittle like.

-I'm a lefty.

7:52:267:52:29

-What have you done?

-Where are the left-handed scissors?

7:52:297:52:32

Get someone's help if it's difficult.

7:52:327:52:34

The next thing you need to do is decorate your skittle.

7:52:347:52:37

I might have some masking tape for that.

7:52:377:52:39

You can paint it, put glitter on it, whatever you want.

7:52:397:52:41

While I'm doing this, tell us what wind ups we can expect.

7:52:417:52:45

-You're struggling that?

-A nightmare.

-LAUGHTER

7:52:457:52:47

An absolute nightmare. It's harder than it looks.

7:52:477:52:49

Get an adult to help you. Don't let Sam do it!

7:52:497:52:51

-On tomorrow night's show...

-Yeah? 6pm!

-Yes, 6pm.

-CBBC.

-CBBC.

7:52:517:52:56

-We've got Union J helping us with a wind-up, which is great.

-Oh, yeah?

7:52:567:52:59

-Yeah!

-They came along to a hidden camera shoot.

-They did, they did!

7:52:597:53:02

-And they were fantastic.

-Were they?

7:53:027:53:04

Speaking, as well, of people you've had on, Barney Harwood, I believe.

7:53:047:53:07

-The legend!

-Yes, the legend that is.

7:53:077:53:09

He's coming up in a few weeks, actually. We've got...

7:53:097:53:11

There's a girl who comes on the show who's a massive fan of Blue Peter

7:53:117:53:15

and a massive fan of Barney. So it was great.

7:53:157:53:17

We got Barney disguised as a clown...

7:53:177:53:19

-Why not?

-..put him in a line-up of other clowns.

-Why not? Yeah!

7:53:197:53:22

She had to guess which one was Barney.

7:53:227:53:24

We won't say if she gets it right, but she gets a really good prize.

7:53:247:53:27

-On February 21st, that episode, I think.

-I'm glad you know that.

7:53:277:53:30

-That's impressive!

-That's good knowledge there.

7:53:307:53:32

You should be working on the show, not us!

7:53:327:53:34

-What is that?

-It's starting to look like a skittle now. I might just...

7:53:347:53:38

-Oh, dear. That's a mess, guys!

-I'm having a nightmare here!

7:53:387:53:41

An absolute mess. You're worse than Jedward!

7:53:417:53:44

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

-Calm down right now!

-LAUGHTER

7:53:447:53:48

-Shall we have a go at playing with these?

-Yes!

-Everyone grab a ball.

-OK.

7:53:487:53:51

I'll take the juggling ball. It looks like it'll work the best.

7:53:517:53:54

And then bring your skittles down. You're still decorating.

7:53:547:53:57

-It looks lovely.

-Thanks.

-You've done a great job.

7:53:577:54:00

Get it down here with the rest of them.

7:54:007:54:02

-We've set up a little bowling alley there.

-I like it!

7:54:027:54:04

-And then, if you come back here with me, we'll all have a go.

-OK.

7:54:047:54:07

-Are you guys ready?

-Ladies first.

-OK. Oh, no, I don't want to miss.

7:54:077:54:12

-Ooh!

-Oh! Harder than it looks.

-Aargh!

7:54:127:54:14

Yes! Two.

7:54:147:54:17

-Brilliant.

-You've knocked hair off the cameramen!

-Sorry.

7:54:177:54:21

Guys, thank you so much for coming in today. Remember, CBBC,

7:54:217:54:24

6pm every Friday if you want to watch these two winding everyone up.

7:54:247:54:28

-It's going to be good, isn't it?

-I hope so!

-Yeah!

7:54:287:54:31

Barney and Radzi, over to you.

7:54:317:54:33

Thanks, guys. We were BOWLED over by that.

7:54:337:54:36

I knew you'd crumble on that one, Radzi. Check out our big badge wall.

It's a big badge and it's a wall. That's why we call it that.

7:54:417:54:43

On last week's show, we had the chilli challenge.

7:54:437:54:45

As you can see, Sophie has drawn a picture of myself

7:54:457:54:47

-and Shirley Bassey here.

-LAUGHTER

7:54:477:54:50

It was an amazing challenge, it really was, and we both ended up

7:54:507:54:52

with serious tummy ache. Don't try that at home.

7:54:527:54:54

-But great fun and thank you for your picture.

-Do not try that at home!

7:54:547:54:57

Now, Lindsey spoke about them already,

7:54:577:54:59

Jedward, they helped us make a ring-pull bracelet.

7:54:597:55:02

And look, Hayley has done just that. A very good job there.

7:55:027:55:05

And somebody who's taken it to the next level is Becca.

7:55:057:55:09

She's made a ring-pull handbag. Feast your eyes on that beauty!

7:55:097:55:13

It's amazing. It's not just stuff on the big badge wall

7:55:137:55:16

we like to show off. Look at this.

7:55:167:55:17

On the website, go to a section called Star Of The Week.

7:55:177:55:20

7:55:207:55:23

is selected by our amazing badge team to be featured on the website.

7:55:237:55:26

7:55:267:55:27

If I hit the ship here and go to the website,

7:55:277:55:29

I can show you something else really cool,

7:55:297:55:31

cos it's got my face on it and a jet ski - look at it.

7:55:317:55:33

-Jet Boat Barney.

-It does.

7:55:337:55:36

-Yes, 2,120 he got.

7:55:367:55:40

-Sam and Mark, you've played it?

-Not any more!

-Not any more!

7:55:407:55:42

7:55:467:55:50

Who's the top presenter?

7:55:507:55:52

-Radzi...

-Oh! What?!

-Really?

-..stop plugging your score!

7:55:527:55:55

-Fact!

-They've got BAFTAs, you can't say anything. Right, we asked you

7:55:557:55:58

to get in touch and talk about your favourite words. Let's have a look.

7:55:587:56:02

One's even been trending, and that's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

7:56:027:56:06

That's loads of people's favourite word. It's a good one.

7:56:067:56:08

-One of the best.

-Boys, what would you like?

-Skiddly-bop.

-Beautiful.

7:56:087:56:12

-Classic!

-I like plop. It's fun to say.

-That's onomatopoeic as well.

7:56:127:56:17

It was for me last week after the chilli challenge!

7:56:177:56:19

LAUGHTER

7:56:197:56:21

-Yeah, er...

-LAUGHTER

7:56:217:56:24

-I was getting flashbacks. Not good.

-Guilty as charged.

7:56:247:56:27

Orange Glittery Cabbage says, "My favourite word is knickerbocker,

7:56:277:56:30

"because it makes people pull funny faces when they say it."

7:56:307:56:32

-Are you making one of those now?

-No, I'm having flashbacks.

7:56:327:56:35

Blue Groovy Hyena says, "My favourite word is flibbertigibbet."

7:56:357:56:38

-I love that! That is a good one.

7:56:387:56:41

And Emerald Terrible Gadget says,

7:56:417:56:44

"Abbreviate, because it's a long word that means to shorten a word."

7:56:447:56:47

-Good point. That is a good one.

-Clever!

-Thanks for getting in touch.

7:56:477:56:51

And we'll be celebrating Chinese New Year and making

7:57:017:57:03

-a lot of noise in the process.
