you with terrific tricks in the air. With the FA Cup this weekend, we | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
will introduce you to a green football team who already topped the | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
tables when it comes the environment. | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
And we have a group in the studio making their sunglasses and | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
:00:38. | :00:56. | ||
performing just for you. Hello! You're watching Blue Peter. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
That is Helen. Welcome. We are live. Before we talk about the exciting | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
stuff on today, let's talk about the massive response post from you to | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
us. We told you last week about how to mash up your faces using your | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
phones, and you haven't disappointed us. Look at Isabella's top half and | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
her dad's chin. She knows what she will look like in about 40 years. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Anthony and France wasn't as the picture of their efforts. I did not | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
use a smartphone. You don't need a phone to do this. They drew on a | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
piece of paper. If you did not watch last week, you will not know that | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
Helen sprang as a prize on me. I have entered you in a trombone | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
competition on 24th May. You have a few weeks to learn a new instrument! | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
You have to learn to play. You have got to be kidding! | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
It is true, I will be in a combo competition. My skills are not up to | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
standard yet, but I will show you how far I have got next week. Are | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
your lips bruised? Helen doesn't know that there is a surprise for | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
her at the end of today's show. Stay tuned to find out what that is. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
Loads of people have been in touch on the message boards. If you want | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
in Courage Barney, join the message boards and leave him a supportive | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
anecdote. Always keep a straight face. Funnily enough, that is what | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
he always says to me. Another viewer says, don't be nervous, think of it | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
as a really cool gadget. And there is a blooper on the website. It was | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
my first lesson. Talking of surprises, why don't you get in | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
touch today? Tell us about things that have surprised you. And what | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
about your most embarrassing surprise? Barney and I love a | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
challenge. But the next one, we literally went to new heights. 1000 | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
feet in the air, to be exact, but we were not in the aeroplanes. We were | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
on top of them! For years, Blue Peter presenters | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
have tried their hand at wing walking. And now, it is our turn. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
give us a taste for flying, we are having a warmup flight, but this is | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
just the start. Over the years, Blue Peter presenters have taken to the | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
skies on the wings of a plane. Six years ago, they attempted one of the | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
hardest wing walking challenges, a high altitude high-5, but they | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
failed because it was too windy. the wing walking challenge has been | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
passed to us, and we are going more extreme. We are working with two of | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
the best formation display pilots in the business. Vic, founder of this | :03:54. | :04:04. | |
:04:04. | :04:13. | ||
top British wing walking team. Martin, with more than 1200 hrs of | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
flying between them, we are in safe hands. How did you start? Where did | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
it come from? After the First World War, you had all these young guys | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
who had learnt to fly and did not want to go back to their boring | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
jobs. So a lot of them bought by planes and started giving rides. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
They turned up, and people would come running out, because no one had | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
seen an aeroplane. After they had visited a few times, people were not | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
so interested. So one of the guys decided, we are going to really get | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
their attention and said to the mechanic, you climb out on the wing, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
and I will fly down the high street. So that was what wing walking was | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
about. We are going to attempt a manoeuvre called a mirror pattern | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
pass. How difficult is that? We will take off. Martin will then dive down | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
to get some speed up. I will follow him down. He will pull up and then | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
:05:04. | :05:06. | ||
roll upside down. I am on the side then. I will steer in. I will slowly | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
come up, so you can grab the bat. Martin will then roll out, and the | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
job is done. Sounds simple, but doing it for real might be a bit | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
harder. So we are getting some bat on past training from recessional | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
wing walker Danielle. Here is the Batten I want you to pass to Barney. | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
I want to test your reaction times. When I say pass, pass this to each | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
other and you have to catch. Like a sprinter? Know, a gentle jog is all | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:53. | ||
that is needed. OK!I have a question. Pass! It will be a lot | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
faster than this. Pass! Since you are going to be passing a baton to | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
each other at very high speeds, I now want you to work on your hand | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
eye coordination. If I grabbed the baton, I will only get one chance, | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
so my hand-I called a nation has to be spot on. -- my hand icon award a | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
nation. On the last bit of training needs us to approach things from a | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
different angle. One of us has to be upside down, and that is me! I can | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
dangle safety upside down here for up to five minutes. On the wing, I | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
will have just 15 seconds. After that, there is a real danger that | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
few will not get to the engine on the plane will stop. It is not the | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
most normal thing on Earth to do, but we will do this at 110 miles an | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
:06:58. | :06:59. | ||
hour. I can't wait!My vision has blurred! Easy.It is one thing | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
passing a baton to Barney on the ground, but trying to 1000 feet in | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the air is trapped on top of a plane at 140 miles an hour dash that is a | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
:07:16. | :07:19. | ||
different story. See you soon Fir Park two. -- 4-part two. Now, time | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
to introduce some swagger. I can hear some giggling in the distance. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
Before we meet Stooshe, let's remind ourselves why would they are one of | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
the most talked about girl groups in the country right now. Girl band | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
Stooshe are made up of three singers, all London born and bred. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Two of them were talent spotted while shopping for clothes. They | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
were joined by another, and the trio were formed. Still in their early | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
20s, their achievements have been high on the pop success scale. The | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
girls have released four singles and received two award nominations. They | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
have also been nominated for Best British single at the Brits and have | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
even supported Jennifer Lopez. Not bad going, ladies. And they are | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
here. Please welcome! Stooshewelcome to Blue Peter, | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
ladies. Sounded like you were having a laugh in there. We were.Your | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
single is out on Sunday and you will perform it for us later. What is it | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
about? It is about when you are dating somebody and they have let | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
their manners go. Not opening doors for you. Standards are slipping. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Let's talk about your name. Where did it come from? It is a word from | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
London which we all liked and have a lot of different meanings. So we | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
added the word she on the end for female, girl Power. You are stylish | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
ladies. We saw a picture of you that inspired us to do a Blue Peter | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
make, so there you are, wearing funky sunglasses. We thought we | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
would do that today. Here is your inspiration. Follow me, and we will | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
show you how to make your very own designer sunglasses. All the details | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
are on the loopy to website. We need to work out the occasion we will be | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
wearing the sunglasses at. Because summer is coming up, I am thinking | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
some of our festivals. If you are stuck for ideas, a great way to come | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
up with some is to do your own mood board. Cut things out from magazines | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
and stick them on the big board. Just do a mix and match. You can | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
take a new pair of sunglasses or an old pair, it is up to you, but get | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
permission if you are going to Nick your mum 's. Use some sandpaper to | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
file down the frames. Be careful to file down the frames, not the | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
lenses. Then you can pick up the bits you want to stick on. We have | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
sweets, flowers, football stickers. I like the flowers. I like the | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
sweets. I like the rainbows. I will ask you some questions while you are | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
sticking and decorating. We have had hundreds of messages from the guys | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
at home. One viewer says, what do you love best about being in a band | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
together? Performing with each other is fun, because you bounce off each | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
other and there is good chemistry on stage. You seem like a genuinely | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
good friends. We are, and you have to be. Another viewer says, what has | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
been your most embarrassing moment on stage? I was on stage and we were | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
opening up for Jennifer Lopez. You know you have a microphone pack? My | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
one fell off. I could not hear myself. So she came over as I was | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
singing and lifted up my skirt and showed my knickers to everybody. She | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
was trying to save me, which was nice, but... Another viewer says, or | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
what advice would you give to someone who wants to be a singer? | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
Practice, practice, practice. That is what you have got to do. And just | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
know what kind of artist you want to be. The work ethic is the main | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
thing. Don't worry about the blue, it will drive clear. Another viewer | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
says, when you are about to perform, do you get nervous, and how do you | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
calm your nerves? We always get nervous. If you don't, you don't | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
care enough. We have a little handshake that comes us down. We | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
can't show you, it is a secret. Thank you for your message board | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
:12:05. | :12:09. | ||
questions. Let's look at what we have got so far. Amazing. All the | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
details you need are on the Blue Peter website. While you are there, | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
if you want to see Stooshe doing some more performances, send them | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
some suggest of support and they will scroll across the bottom of the | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
screen later. If you decide to have a go, send us a photograph and let | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
us know how you get on. This weekend, Wigan play Man City in the | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
FA Cup final at Wembley. Did you know that when they turn the | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
floodlights on at Wendy, it uses the same amount of energy that it would | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
to power up 80,000 TVs? That is a lot. But we went to meet one | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
football team who are making their own energy. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
Welcome to a football club with a difference. This stadium in | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
Gloucestershire is home to a team... What are you doing? Painting | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
the football green. Why?Because you said we were here to learn how to | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
make football more green. Not the colour green, I met environmentally | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
:13:22. | :13:23. | ||
friendly green! O. OK.This is the home of Forest Green Rovers. I see | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
what they did with the name. That is a coincidence. They have been called | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Forest Green for over a hundred years, but this could be the most | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
environmentally friendly football club in the world. This is 100% | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
recycled paper. That is their programme. And there is a game | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
tonight. We need to get a move on. From floodlights to feeding the | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
fans, football grounds use a lot of energy. But he, they have a plan to | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
help. This club can produce its own energy. With solar panels on the | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
roof of that stand, there is a wind turbine on the hill and on a day | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
like today, they are both pretty efficient. Barney is standing on a | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
pitch that even at the end of the season looks in good nick, and I | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
think he is about to find out that it is even greener than it looks. | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
Yes, because I have found the man responsible for the green grass, | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
award-winning groundsman Stuart Ward. Let's talk about the pitch. It | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
is not an ordinary pitch. What makes it an eco-pitch? We use organic | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
products. Seaweed, waste from animals, waste from plants and | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
calcium as well. We mix them together, depending what we want to | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
do on the pitch throughout the season, and we make our own | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
smoothies to feed the pitch. I love how the footballers have to stay | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
healthy by eating and rigging well, and the pitch has to do the same. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
is an athlete in its own right. It is the 12th man. Jason, what are you | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
cooking? We are making pizzas.How is the menu here different to a menu | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
at most football clubs? We only serve vegetarian food. No burgers, | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
no chicken? Burgers, but vegetarian burgers. I imagine there would be a | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
riot if you said no pasties, no meat pies. How did the fans react? | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
got used to eating vegetarian food. It is very nice. Meat production can | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
be heavy on energy consumption, so serving locally sourced vegetarian | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
food is another green step for Forest Green. What about the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
players? Has the new diet affected their performance? They have done | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
well this year. They almost made the play-offs. But looks delicious. | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
:15:49. | :15:57. | ||
Sprinkle a bit of rocket over it. This looks delicious. It is hot. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
have found a gadget, you have got to come and see this. Helen, have you | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
:16:12. | :16:14. | ||
heard of the mobot? It is a robot which mows the grass. It does it | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
using GPS. It goes on its merry way. It is amazing. It is charged by | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
electric which is generated by solar panels on the roof. It is genius, | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
and, if it gets into trouble, it sends the groundsman a text message. | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
I want one. Now, we all expect foot all is to arrive in style, and it is | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
no different here - it is just a different kind of style. All the | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
cars are electric, so once they are parked up, you just plug them in. It | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
is just the type of great green idea we like on Blue Peter. We love it | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
when you get in touch and show us how created you have been, | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
especially when it is something to do with the environment. If you do | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
that, we can award you one of these, a green Blue Peter badge. I have got | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
:17:13. | :17:20. | ||
an idea. Come on. It is looking good. It is going well, not quite as | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
amazing as we hoped, but it is the thought that counts. Time to take | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
the stands for the game. I thought you said there was going to be no | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
:17:39. | :17:41. | ||
Greens on this. Everything is green. We are funny. Anyway, thank | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
you very much. Last week, we interest you -- introduced you to a | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
new feature, showing you how to Grow your own herbs, cook them and eat | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
them. Take a look at what Toby from Exeter has done. Look at the size of | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
his herb garden. Let's have a look at our much smaller plant pots. | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
Briony, you have some basil, which is starting to sprout. It is early | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
days, it has only been in for a week. I have planted some spring | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
onions, which are starting to come through. So, we have left these in | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
the sunshine in the window in the office, we have watered them and | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
kept them well protected. Fingers crossed they will grow into | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
something that we can cook and eat. If you want to join us, head over to | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
the blue people website -- to the Blue Peter website, come on. Earlier | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
on, you saw us training to be wing-walker Cormack. Back to that | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
:18:52. | :18:54. | ||
now. Suited and boosted, our time to wing-walk has come. First, we need | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
to experience getting strapped to a wing and spun around in the sky. It | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
is all part of the training. I am up first, while Barney watches from the | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
ground in a minute, they will start performing the acrobatics, that's | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
what Helen is going to have to do for us to pull off this mirror baton | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
pass. He is now coming down, to get as much speed up as possible. Now,, | :19:24. | :19:34. | |
:19:34. | :19:35. | ||
he comes back, to go into the loop. That is absolutely amazing! So, | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
that's the move Helen has got to be able to do today. OK, my turn in the | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
sky, and it is amazing. Even if it does make me look like a bulldog | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
:19:59. | :20:11. | ||
invincible. But not for long. difficult is this? I would say it is | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
up there at ten what should we focus on? First of all, you have got to be | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
strong, to fight against the wind. Secondly, do not trot the button, | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
hold on really tight. And number three, you have got to watch out for | :20:27. | :20:37. | |
:20:37. | :20:38. | ||
flies, because getting flies in your teeth is not so glamorous. Let's not | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
drop the button. Let's do it.With 140 miles an hour of wind in our | :20:45. | :20:54. | |
faces, it is difficult to speak, it is too windy to even hear us talk. | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:06. | ||
My plane spins upside down, right above Barney. We increase our speed | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
to try to catch up with Helen, but we just cannot get close enough. | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
first attempt has failed. So, we fly around to try again. By now, my arms | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
are burning, battling against the wind. I can see Helen right above | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
me, but the gap between us is too big. There is nothing I can do to | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
get closer. It is clear that something is wrong, so our pilots, | :21:34. | :21:43. | |
Martin and Vic, decided to land. Why did it not work? It is not easy. | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
Barney 's suit was playing up, causing a lot of drag, so I did not | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
have the speed to catch up. So we are going to try to get Barney more | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
streamlined, somehow. Are you sure it is all right? Absolutely fine, | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
don't worry about it. Strapped and streamlined, we go for one last | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
:22:16. | :22:20. | ||
flight to try to nail this. It is so windy, I cannot even open my eyes. | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
:22:30. | :22:31. | ||
We are going for it... Almost... Almost... ! We were so close, but | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
after a total of six attempts, our time is up. I have no idea how close | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
we were. I was just holding it as steady as I could, until I felt as | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
turn around again. It was so close. I am so annoyed! I am the least | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
competitive person on the planet, but look at the slow motion, look at | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
how close we got. It was so, so close, and that was our fifth | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
attempt. It was just not going to happen it was so frustrating, but it | :23:03. | :23:12. | |
was a good day, and thank you to everybody who helped as. Earlier | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
on, we asked you to get in touch and let us know how you have been | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
surprising your friends and family. Then said, my biggest surprise when | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
I found out that my friend had told everybody my football team had won | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
the league, and we actually got relegated. Amy says, my surprise was | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
when my mum came home with my baby brother. And this one says, my | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
brother turned off all the electricity, when we were watching a | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
horror film and jumped out behind the sofa. I was really scared. That | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
is a good one. Jacob said, I went go-karting and I was not looking | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
where I was going and I crashed. We hope you are OK. Thank you very much | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
forgetting in touch. As I mentioned, we have a surprise for Helen. Helen, | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
you are going to be needing these, because you have been enrolled in | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
the first stages of the Royal Marine commando programme. On Tuesday, | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
you're going to Exeter for your first assessment. That's the Royal | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
Marine commando programme. How do you feel about that? I was expecting | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
you were going to make me sing or something ridiculous. While Helen | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
soaks that up, here is what is happening next week. In honour of | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
the brand-new film Epic, we will be looking at some slimy slugs. And we | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
are going to be turning tinfoil into treasurer. And we will begin the new | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
access behind-the-scenes at this world record roller-coaster, with 14 | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
loops. If you got in touch earlier with your comments for Stooshe, they | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
will becoming across the screen now. Now, it is time for Stooshe, with | :25:00. | :25:10. | |

said baby. # You used to open doors. # So if you really want to stay in | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:56. | ||
my head... # Why did you let it slip? # Bring it all back to me. # | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:17. | ||
Say it like you mean it. # Slip! # That's how it used to be, why did | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
:26:27. | :26:35. | ||
you let it slip? # You used to say I'm pretty... # Oh, yeah, baby. # | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
:26:45. | :26:52. | ||
where did that style go? # If you really want to stay in my head. # | :26:52. | :27:02. | |
:27:02. | :27:15. | ||
Why did you let it slip? # say it like you mean it. # You just cheer | :27:15. | :27:25. | |
