Wimbledon Poster Competition Winner Announced! Blue Peter

.

By popular demand, we have Blue Peter's biggest diva

back on the scene. You love her, we love her, and she loves you.

I catch up with Shelley!

Mwah! And from one of TV's biggest animal stars to the smallest -

I meet this teeny, tiny, lamb.

Did you send an entry for our Wimbledon competition?

We're going to reveal the winner.

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

What an amazing thing to do!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Hello, how are you doing? That's Matti, by the way.

He's attempting to set a brand-new world

record on his BMX right here in the Blue Peter studio.

BARNEY WHINES

Barney's jealous!

That's because it's his bike, he wants to ride it.

Anyway, how are you doing?

Today's show is more packed than a One Direction concert

so we had best get on with it.

Yes, we're live, and we want to hear from you.

We want to know, if you could bring anything back, what would it be?

That is because we're bringing Shelley back by popular demand,

so what would you bring back?

I would bring back the London Olympics, cos it was so much fun.

It was such a good time. It doesn't have to be

six months ago, it can be further back. When I was little,

look, we used to have these -

instant cameras. Press the button and the picture came out.

I'd bring these back because they're amazing.

They were absolute brilliant.

Well, let us know what you want to bring back.

Right, we love hearing from you guys,

you absolutely rock at sending stuff in, so much

-so that we have created a badge of fame.

-It's very nice.

Loads of you have been sending things in, I want to say a special

thank you to seven-year-old Joshua who sent in this fantastic poster.

If you look closely, you will be able to see that it is made

up of loads and loads and loads of individual Blue Peter stickers.

It took some serious work, didn't it, a really good job.

I also want say thank you to Erica, Charlie and Martha,

they sent in a little present for Barney the dog. Have a look at this.

They have made Barney a mini kennel.

That's real size, Helen just has really massive hands!

We'll see if he sleeps in that later on. Thank you very much

for sending in your stuff. Last week Misha B was in the studio

showing you how to get creative by designing your own blackboards.

It was up to you how you decorated it with your own frames

and lots of you have sent in your designs.

You can see here, we've got Joe, Lizzie and Anna who've done their

own one with a Blue Peter badge in the middle of it.

-Fantastic. Thank you guys.

-Check out Daniel's smile!

He did not want that photo to be taken, did he? Look at him.

Thank you very much, Daniel.

He sent a photograph of himself with his blackboard, saying,

"I love Blue Peter", and he's done a football-inspired blackboard,

so we're glad that you enjoyed sending in and building those.

Right, over there - is that what you're pointing for?

Avid Blue Peter viewers will remember that last year,

Barney and I had a go at BMX cycling.

It was all part of our big Olympic tour.

I think I won that one, didn't it?

Really? You didn't mention it much, I don't remember!

Now, that was a different type of BMX riding, that was racing, but

there is more than one way to get around on a bike like that.

You can race on tracks like these where it's all about speed

and bravery, or you can try stunt BMXing

where you concentrate on jumps and tricks.

Finally, there's flatland,

this is a mix of artistic cycling with a blend of breakdancing.

And, if you want a master flatlander,

then Matti Hemmings is your man.

He is a world record holder for the most BMX cliff-hanger spins - oh,

and we have got him in the Blue Peter garden today.

Result!

Matti, thank you so much for coming in.

I'm going to get out of the way, so you can show us some of your stuff.

Good luck!

APPLAUSE

Matti, that is amazing!

I'm thinking, "I just wouldn't know where to

"begin," but I want to, and that's why I've got my helmet,

because you're going to teach me a trick.

You need a helmet because I'm guessing this must be dangerous.

How dangerous is it?

It can be dangerous, but as long as you are with a group of friends

and you're wearing your helmet, it should be fine, it's safe.

Can you only attempt those tricks on a bike like this?

Yes, this is designed for doing them tricks, as you can see,

I've got no brakes, and no reflectors,

so I wouldn't ride this on the roads, just because it's too dangerous,

so I wouldn't go down to the shops for a bag of sweets,

it's just not made for that - it's just made for doing tricks.

The pegs obviously help that?

Yes, the pegs are plastic, and I got plastic pedals as well,

so it just saves my shin.

I'm going to put my helmet on cos you're going to teach me a trick.

Where did you start, I mean, how do you first get into this?

I first got into it when I was about 15,

so, I grew up in a village, there wasn't much to do, so I just

decided, I saw flatland BMX on TV, and it just went from there, really.

So if you can get a bike like this,

get a helmet and you get some mates together and get out and have a go?

Yes, and I can see that you've got a racing helmet,

so it protects your jaw, which is good!

Someone upstairs is really worried about me,

I've got the ultimate helmet!! OK, what am I doing?

So, we're going to do something called a truckstand,

so you put your left foot into the spokes

and you put your right foot there.

And then hold on to the handlebars with your left hand

and then take your right hand off.

OK, right, I've ridden a BMX, but I've never done flatlanding,

I'm not a trickster, so to speak.

That's it, so, there you go, and what I'll do...

so you keep your foot in that position and I will move my hand.

Wahey! I take it back. I am a trickster.

There you go.

I don't know how to get down!

HE LAUGHS

Matti, thank you very much. I can see once you have

started to have a little bit of a go you want to do more.

You're hopefully going to set a new world record for us in a while...

Yes, I'm going to give it a good go, see what I can do.

You can, we believe in you.

Matti is aiming for a new world record in the most number of...

That's the most ridiculous name for a record.

Matti, I will let you go and practice.

Good luck, in less than 20 minutes,

Matti is going to be attempting that record.

But, for now, sit back and remember the First Lady of Blue Peter.

A lady who gets an unbelievable amount of post,

and you know what, in this helmet, I think I look a bit like her!

I've left Barney the dog at home. Why?

Because on a day like today he would get very jealous.

You know how he gets.

I have come to see one of the other Blue Peter pets.

Shelley, the tortoise.

We know that you guys love her

because we get loads of post for her.

This folder's full of letters and poems all for Shelley the tortoise.

Now, it is spring, so she must be waking up.

I thought I would go and see how she's getting on.

Shelley, everybody!

Shelley has been a Blue Peter pet since 2004,

which makes her the longest serving of all our current pets.

When she's not busy filming with us she lives in this house

near London, where she's looked after by Marina and grandson Leo.

Shelley has been in hibernation since mid-November,

and she usually hibernates for around four months, coming out

whenever the weather starts to get a little bit warmer.

-Oh, look, she's awake! Hello, Marina. Hello, Leo.

-Hi, Helen.

-Nice to see you again. You all right?

-Yes, thank you.

Well, she is all right. Look at Shelley go!

Yes, she is absolutely fine. She woke up on February the 14th...

-So, she woke up on Valentine's Day?

-Yes.

That is early for her, isn't it?

Yes, depending on the weather, it was a little bit early.

We're not exactly sure how old Shelley is, but she is somewhere

around her mid-20s, which is pretty young for a tortoise.

The oldest tortoise on record lived to a whopping 188 years old.

She just comes out for a little bit during the day,

or if the sun is shining.

But then she has to go back in the warm at the moment.

She is actually now looking to tuck herself up somewhere.

She'll probably go under that bush.

Well, if she's looking for somewhere

to go for a sleep, shall we get her inside before she gets too cosy?

-I think that would be a good idea.

-Don't get too cosy yet!

Leo, let's take her somewhere warmer, you lead the way.

We know how popular Shelley is with you all

because of the amount of post we receive about her.

I particularly like this one from Isaac in Yorkshire.

He says he loves Shelley because she reminds him of his gran.

Isaac, I don't think she will thank you for that, somehow.

As it is still too cold for Shelley to spend very long outdoors,

she is spending much of her day in a heated box called a vivarium.

Tortoises generally like to eat garden weeds,

and on the menu for Shelley today are Dandelion leaves.

Leo, we know our viewers love Shelley, we get pictures like this

all the time, so we have shrunk them

down to Shelley's size, and I thought we could put them

in Shelley's little summer home.

-Yes, that would be OK.

-Do you think she will like them?

-Yes.

Right, I'm going to put this one in the back there, and this one in...

Here you go, Shelley.

Aww, a little bit of decoration to keep her entertained

while she's in there keeping warm.

If you have sent something in for Shelley, thank you very much.

As you can see, I think she's quite into them,

she will be in a few hours, anyway.

Leo, Marina, thank you so much for looking after her as always.

She looks in great form.

We absolutely love it when you send things in for Shelley.

We love the home-made presents that you make for her.

This was made by Rachel in County Antrim, it's a teeny,

tiny, mini Shelley.

It's a beautiful thing. Shelley also stars in her own story,

courtesy of Sophie Curry, who called it Super Shelley and The Cookie.

This isn't our Cookie, not the cat.

She's illustrated all the pictures herself. Thank you, it's brilliant.

Thank you very much for everything you send in,

we love getting post, don't we?

It's such a nice thing to open, because you're so creative,

thank you for that.

We also love announcing competition winners,

and it is time now to announce the winner of the Wimbledon

poster competition.

The idea was for you to design the official Wimbledon poster for 2013.

We had over 3,000 entries and there were some rules.

The rules were very simple, you had to include the word Wimbledon,

also the date so that people know when to go,

24 June to 7 July 2013, and you had to include the three

colours of Wimbledon, green, purple and white.

The standards were absolutely amazing.

Just have a look at this board over here.

We've got the top 30 entries all on this board,

you might have seen yours by now, I hope you have.

If you want to have a closer look at these, then,

there will be a gallery on the website of the top 30.

You never let us down, they're so brilliant.

But don't head to the website just yet, because now it is time

to announce the winners of the individual age categories.

Yes, the winner of the 6-8 year old age category is...

Pria Erdley, who is eight!

TRUMPET FANFARE

This is Pria's design, congratulations, Pria.

Pria was saying she wasn't too sure about drawing the circles free hand,

so she used a compass to achieve that design.

It's a brilliant character and does everything it says on the tin.

Well done, Pria.

OK, moving on,

to announce the winner of the 9 to 11 year old category...

(I love this bit!)

The winner is Bethany O'Dell. Congratulations, this is her design.

TRUMPET FANFARE

Well done, Bethany.

Now, Bethany used a sweet potato to create the tennis ball there,

so well done, Bethany.

That is sweet.

Sorry!

Right, onto the final category.

In the 12 to 14-year-old category, the winner is...

Jennifer McDowell, who's 12.

TRUMPET FANFARE

It's so exciting to talk about, because, don't forget,

one of these people will have their poster made,

and you can see the amount of work that

has gone into the design from Jennifer.

Little individual bits of paper, that have been cut

out of newspapers or individual parts of paper and stuck together.

A lot of glue was used there,

and it is absolutely worthy of a winner's position.

Congratulations.

That must have taken ages!

Now, the top 30 will get themselves one of these,

an orange competition winner's Blue Peter badge,

so congratulations to all of you, if you made it into the top 30.

The two runners-up will also get a Wimbledon goody bag.

But the overall winner gets something very exciting -

tickets to watch

a game at Centre Court, at Wimbledon and, of course,

the ultimate prize, to see their design, as a poster,

all over the tournament, so let's not eke it out any longer,

let's announce the overall winner for the Wimbledon competition 2013.

I'm delighted to say that the winner is...

Pria!

Pria Erdley is with us in the studio.

Come on in, Pria.

-Congratulations.

-Thanks.

-Well done, you.

Hello, smiler, take a look at that!

That is your official poster for Wimbledon 2013. How're you feeling?

Happy. I didn't think I was going to win.

How did you come up with this design?

I knew you couldn't draw any particular tennis players,

so I just thought to do a tennis ball man.

It's such a great design and a brilliant character,

in fact, you can hold that, because officially, it is the winner.

Let's have a round of applause for Pria, what an amazing design.

Thanks for getting involved.

Thanks to everybody who got involved.

Now, though, every time I show this...

OOHS AND AAHS!

Awww!

..yes, that noise happens, in fact, how do you feel about this,

-why do you think when I show you this?

-That is so cute.

-It's gorgeous, isn't it?

-I love it so much, play it again.

-Why don't we just play the entire film?

-Oh, all right then.

It's a bit cute, get ready for this.

We've just had one of the hardest winters.

With temperatures as low as -12C, and snowdrifts bigger than cars.

But now it's springtime,

and it's finally getting warmer outside, which means it's

the busiest time of year for sheep farmers, as lambs are born.

I'm here to meet Gareth,

a sheep farmer who is in the middle of lambing.

I'm going to give him a hand on the farm.

But it's not just Gareth I'm seeing, I'm also meeting Micro Lamb.

She's being kept in Gareth's house because she is so small,

she wouldn't have survived the cold weather.

This is the smallest lamb I have ever seen.

She has grown quite a lot

since when she was first-born over a couple of weeks ago now,

but yes, very small, very sweet, very tiny,

and that is why we've brought her in, to keep

her warm and dry and safe, and to help her grow.

You affectionately call her Micro Lamb?

It's descriptive, isn't it?

-There's nothing else required!

-She's gorgeous, look at that little smile.

So, what do you want to start with today?

-First job is we'll feed this young lady. So if I give you...

-Sure.

..her, and then there's a bottle of milk. And she will...

Oh, you can feel her little heartbeat going. Hello, gorgeous.

Oh, I see, now that might just be the cutest thing ever.

Do you do this with all your lambs?

It's only the ones that have had problems with their mothers, or,

like her, have been too small and weak to suckle in the first place.

She's thirsty. Good girl, was that nice?

Do I have to roll over and burp her now?

Gareth is just 22.

He decided to become a farmer when he was 17, even though

his family aren't in the business.

He sold his games console and bought six sheep, and now he has 450!

Our first job on the farm is to check the pregnant ewes,

and you never know, we might even get to see a lamb being born.

Oh, good, they're glad to see us.

This is the lambing shed, so the ones in the front here are still

waiting to give birth, but it doesn't look likely at the moment...

How'd you know they are going to give birth?

They're often off by themselves, slightly quiet, they don't

really interact with us, they want their space and peace and quiet.

Sure, you see, this is why it's good to be a farmer,

because if you come in on a day like today, expecting ewes to give

birth and they don't, then, surely it's just a day off, isn't it?

I wish it was. We have got plenty of jobs for you to do,

we will start with some feeding up, I think.

'Well, I did ask for this. That will teach me to be clever.'

Oh, don't do that.

'We're dishing out fodder beet, a type of root vegetable.'

Ensuring there is water, and preparing the barn.

Oh, that's heavy.

Only kidding!

So, this one's about three or four days old, you can

see the size difference to Micro Lamb.

-Yes, well, Micro's two and a bit weeks old.

-Yes, about that.

Oh, Micro Lamb really is titchy.

Finally, we're off to check on Gareth's sheep in the fields of

North Yorkshire, but first, I try my hand at calling them in towards us.

Come here, sheep. Sheep! Over here!

Nothing.

Come up! Come on!

Eventually they heard us, and came flocking.

All sheep accounted for in this field,

but none are quite as cute as Micro Lamb.

I'm trying to find different things to say

when you watch one of our films, but I always say, "I want one,"

even if it's a bike, or a car, or a Micro Lamb, I want one.

I used to have one!

I had a little pet lamb called Little,

-and my brother had one called Large.

-Nice. They're so cute.

-It wasn't a joke, we actually did.

-I believe you.

It's been an exciting day already,

but now, we're going to up the ante even more.

We're going to attempt to set a new world record right here,

live, in the studio. I see we, that's really down to you, Matti!

Matti, we saw what you are capable of earlier on,

you were flatland BMXing outside, which is where you got Helen

to have a go, now you're going to do something very different.

You already hold a world record for the most

amount of cliff-hangers?

Cliff-hanger spins, with my foot on the handlebars, no hands.

OK, which is just an everyday thing, isn't it, if you ride a BMX!

But now you're going to attempt to get the most...

-Yes.

-Excellent. I didn't even read that!

It was on the screen, but I didn't see one word of it.

-So, 30 or more to set the new world record.

-Yes, that's right.

-How are you feeling?

-Nervous.

-Don't worry. We believe in you.

It's the best nervous smile I've seen for a while,

-you look quietly confident, as well.

-Yes, hopefully.

Let's see what happens, it's not far away now.

I know three people who do believe in you, come this way.

Let me introduce you to three young BMXers. Are you all right, guys?

This is Adam, Medina and Adam. Now, you guys race BMXs.

In fact, you're going

to be racing this weekend at the Supercross World Cup in Manchester.

How are you feeling about that?

I'm really excited, but scared as well

because when you're at the top of the hill you just feel

lots of adrenaline and you just want to go for it.

-Because that gate drops so you must know how he's feeling.

-Yes.

You're going to cheer him on loads, aren't you?

-Do you guys think he can do it?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Course he can.

Right, a world record attempt does obviously need an official,

so, we have our adjudicator from Guinness World Records.

Jack, what does Matti need to do to get this new record?

Matti will need to complete a minimum of 30 spins in order for this

-to be a successful Guinness World Record attempt.

-OK.

We're nervous for you, but it's going to be fine!

Matti just did the biggest, "Phhrrrrr," you've ever seen.

-Are you ready, Matti?

-Yes.

OK, your minute will start as soon as you

take your hands off the handlebars.

In your own time, mate, it's all yours. Good luck.

Good luck, Matti.

Look at that!

OK, the clock has started, Matti.

Well done, Matti!

MUSIC: "Feel The Love" by Rudimental

You're doing really well, mate.

30 seconds gone, mate.

MUSIC: "Feel The Love" by Rudimental

Keep it up, mate, ten seconds left.

Eight, seven, six, five, four... Oh!

Oh-ho-ho!

With only a few seconds to go.

What does that actually mean? What happens,

does that mean that it's not happened if he's fallen off?

It is within the minute,

so we will just need to check back to see how many spins Matti completed.

OK, so we will count up the spins that Matti has done.

You were doing so well, we were so nervous for you.

I was getting a little bit dizzy.

You did so well, and with only a few seconds to go,

if you go and review the footage, Jack,

and we'll let you know how Matti got on

in a bit, but now, we like to always find out

about what you get up to in your spare time,

and we're now going to find out the story about

Finlay, who is actually a stand-up comedian at just 14 years old.

Here's his story.

-I'm hugging Matti. You did so well.

-Well done.

Ladies and gentlemen...

oh, wait, those are the toilets.

Ladies and gentlemen...

Hi, I'm Finlay Christie, and I'm an aspiring stand-up comedian.

This is what it's like being me.

I always wanted to be a stand-up comedian, I love making people laugh.

Just ask my brother.

So he's on the train, and he's got his salad,

but he doesn't have anything to eat it with. He doesn't have a fork, OK?

So, he has to go up to the...

Sorry, are these jokes not interesting enough?

Well, most of the time I make people laugh, it's a tough crowd today.

My style of comedy is observational, so, things in my life, around me,

that I think are funny, I write them down. It can be anything.

Do you ever creep around the house at night

and you hear your mum coming down the stairs

and you just freeze and you think she'll just walk right past you.

"Oh, when did this statue of my son get here?"

Comedy is varied, there are so many different styles,

like one-liners, such as, "History - don't worry about it, it's all in

"the past," and improv, and sketches, the list just goes on and on.

So, I want to show you guys how you can become a stand-up by answering

some of your questions. Cheers.

OK, posted by SilverWhizzingVampire.

I first started when I was seven years old, and we were in a different

theatre, loads of different people, so much has changed since then.

A posting by GreenRugbySparrow -

I think it was probably John Hegley when I was very little,

this guy called John Hegley, he was a funny poet,

used to tell all sorts of funny poems and he sort of got me into comedy.

OK, enough of the questions for now,

I want to show you a place that's helped me learn loads about comedy.

The Comedy For Kids workshop is all about comedy for kids.

No rude jokes, just lots of laughs.

We do activities like improv, sketches,

and we also get to try some of our own material.

If you can't teach, teach PE.

There's always someone to give me pointers in the workshop,

like Isabel.

What's the best advice for someone who wants to become

-a comedian?

-Try and be funny.

It seems ridiculous,

but... what makes you laugh and then do that,

and then hopefully other people will also find it funny,

but you need to enjoy yourself.

OK, so you've got some questions for me.

Posted by AmberSpinningDeer -

A piece of lettuce came up to me on the street the other day.

He said, "You look great."

I said, "Hey, thanks."

It was a complimentary salad.

The seats are beginning to fill.

Always good to practise before I perform.

So it's easy to let nerves get the better of you when you're

performing, but to take my mind off it I will do some of your questions.

Posted by SilverSpikyDove -

Usually I laugh, that really helps.

When you laugh, when they don't laugh,

they tend to laugh about your laughing.

Posted by SunStoneMiniDaisy -

Well, you're about to find out. OK, let's go.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

There's been a lot of stuff in the news recently about bad stuff

being hidden in school dinners, like horsemeat in burgers.

But that's nothing compared to what I found in my burger the other day.

I found...

traces of...

salad.

FUNNY VOICE: Hello!

LAUGHTER

Come on, they call their perfume, no word of a lie,

"ugh de toilet."

Eau...

de toilette!

Give him a big hand, ladies and gentlemen.

Finlay! Awesome!

I got lots of laughs from the audience, hopefully I got a lot

of laughs from you at home and

I've inspired you to write some jokes of your own.

I'm looking at you, Barney.

Thanks, Finlay, well, it's no secret that I am rubbish at jokes,

but if, like me, you would like to be an aspiring comedian

and find out how funny you can be, head over to our website,

Finlay has left some top tips there on how to be a comedian.

Thanks, Finlay.

We are anxiously waiting to see if Matti has set a new world record.

Jack, our official adjudicator over there is

counting, to see

if he has done enough spins. We'll find out in a second,

but before we do that there's time to share some of your e-mails.

We asked you at the start of the show... Have you got a good one?

Harvey wants to bring medieval stocks back,

because he'd like to throw a rotten tomato at somebody.

That's nice, Harvey, thank you.

We brought back Shelley - what would you bring back?

Elise wants to bring back the sunny and hot weather. I'm with you.

Rebecca would like to bring the Victorians back because

they were great, and you'd like to see what their life was like.

That's time travel, that is.

Molly says she would bring back the Diamond Jubilee for street parties.

-Nice, I like your style.

-That's a great idea.

One last one, from Little Miss Smiley, the old London buses with

the open doors so you can jump on the back, even if the bus is moving.

Maybe a little dangerous, but at least you get there.

Thank you very much for getting in touch.

Let's find out if Matti has that new world record.

-Come on, Jack. Come on, over.

-So, the most spins...

-Oh, he's shaking his head.

-30 or more.

He had a minute, but he fell off towards the end. Has he done it?

Matti managed a total of 28 spins,

so unfortunately it's not a new Guinness World Record.

Good attempt, but I'm afraid...

Bad luck, right at the end you had a slip

but you are a world record holder, you've still got one.

You know, a little bit of practice...

You have some very, very impressive skills, and he is one of the

most humble guys we've ever had in the studio, so hats off to you.

Thank you for coming in.

Let's look at what's on next week's show, just as packed as today's.

Yes, find out what happens

when hip-hop meets Shakespeare, in a supercool mash-up.

And we'll be in charge of all the electric for the country.

That'll be exciting. It's going to be electric.

-See you then.

-See you next week at half five, bye.
