Hi guys, Jenny here live with a Gangnam style world record

:00:11.:00:13.

The TV mischief maker, remoulded for the modern day.

:00:14.:00:16.

But first, in the last half hour, the final

:00:17.:00:33.

stage of the Tour de France cycle race in England has come to an end.

:00:34.:00:40.

Around two and half million people turned out to see the most

:00:41.:00:43.

famous road race in the world pass through Yorkshire at the weekend.

:00:44.:00:46.

And huge numbers lined the route today, which has just

:00:47.:00:48.

finished in central London, having started earlier in Cambridge.

:00:49.:00:55.

Very excited to see the Tour de France. I was here for more than an

:00:56.:01:00.

hour but it was worth it. I am like a kid in a toy

:01:01.:01:08.

The teams will now head to France for the rest of the race,

:01:09.:01:12.

but they might have some trouble getting there.

:01:13.:01:14.

That's after almost 400 people got stuck in the underwater tunnel

:01:15.:01:17.

It happened when power failures meant a train broke down midway

:01:18.:01:21.

into the channel tunnel, which goes for 23 miles underground.

:01:22.:01:23.

Passengers had to go through special escape exits,

:01:24.:01:25.

and wait for another train to pick them up causing long delays.

:01:26.:01:28.

Now to the CBBC legend who's returning to the small screen.

:01:29.:01:31.

Morph here last appeared on TV before some of you were even

:01:32.:01:33.

born. But now the people behind some of your other favourite shows are

:01:34.:01:36.

I'm at Aardman Animations HQ in Bristol, home to popular

:01:37.:01:45.

characters like Wallace and Gromit, and Shaun the Sheep.

:01:46.:01:47.

But long before they were on the scene,

:01:48.:01:50.

there was an orange plasticine man called Morph who won loads

:01:51.:01:54.

Morph was created for a CBBC art show called

:01:55.:02:01.

He made his first appearance back in 1977

:02:02.:02:05.

He merged out of a lump of modelling clay.

:02:06.:02:18.

For him, the real world is like some massive adventure playground.

:02:19.:02:23.

The last Morph episode was more than 15 years ago.

:02:24.:02:25.

Morph's creators love him so much they wanted to make

:02:26.:02:36.

A total of 15 episodes have been made and the first one's

:02:37.:02:39.

There are three identical filming sets here and each animator spent

:02:40.:02:44.

We were filming for three months and we used approximately 50 kilos

:02:45.:02:51.

The way we make him look the same every time is we weigh him.

:02:52.:02:57.

What can we expect from the new Morph?

:02:58.:03:04.

Some high jinks, he has a friend called Chas

:03:05.:03:07.

There's lots of mischief and they generally have

:03:08.:03:11.

Many people like me who remember Morph will be excited to

:03:12.:03:16.

see he's back, and its creators are hoping

:03:17.:03:18.

the cute little plasticine man will find a whole new group of fans.

:03:19.:03:28.

And you can find out how to make your own Morph model by watching

:03:29.:03:33.

That's also where you can get all the build-up to the World Cup

:03:34.:03:39.

Some of the biggest stars on the planet will go head to head

:03:40.:03:45.

as Brazil, Germany, Argentina and the Netherlands fight

:03:46.:03:47.

And the World Cup fever has inspired these kids to get in on

:03:48.:03:53.

the action too, with a power-chair league version of the tournament.

:03:54.:03:57.

Power-chair is open to girls and boys in wheelchairs

:03:58.:03:59.

for whatever reason, with around a thousand players at 43

:04:00.:04:01.

It is just like regular football, corners, free kicks, quite fast

:04:02.:04:19.

paced and aggressive at times, even though it probably shouldn't be. It

:04:20.:04:24.

will give you a feeling of empowerment and a feeling that you

:04:25.:04:29.

can do anything, and a real big thing when you are playing is that

:04:30.:04:32.

you can reach for the stars and achieve things you thought you

:04:33.:04:34.

couldn't, really. And finally, to the world record

:04:35.:04:39.

attempt that's gone Gangnam! More than a thousand people

:04:40.:04:41.

performed Psy's famous routine in Cardiff yesterday to break the

:04:42.:04:43.

record for most people performing That's all from me,
