It's Saturday, I'm Hayley and this is your

0:00:030:00:05

lunchtime portion of Newsround.

0:00:050:00:08

Coming up.

0:00:080:00:11

The Smoke Jumpers to the Rescue!

0:00:110:00:13

And the music taking to the silent air waves.

0:00:130:00:16

Now, it's 50 years since Roald Dahl wrote

0:00:200:00:21

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

0:00:220:00:26

The book's characters have become household names.

0:00:260:00:27

But it turns out they were only part of the original story.

0:00:270:00:30

The discovery of a new, unpublished chapter reveals Dahl was

0:00:300:00:33

going to include more children to meet Willy Wonka.

0:00:330:00:35

Take a look at this.

0:00:350:00:37

It sold around 50 million copies.

0:00:370:00:39

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has become a favourite

0:00:390:00:41

around the world.

0:00:410:00:43

It is very imaginative and it is unique.

0:00:430:00:52

I like how he always manages to add a few surprises.

0:00:520:01:03

This is an early draft of what was to become Charlie

0:01:030:01:06

and the Chocolate Factory.

0:01:060:01:08

It was originally called Charlie's Chocolate Boy.

0:01:080:01:11

But chapter five, the Vanilla Fudge Room was cut, losing two characters,

0:01:110:01:16

Wilbur Rice and Tommy Troutbeck, who are both naughty and spoiled.

0:01:160:01:21

The chapter was discovered in Dahl's collection by another author.

0:01:210:01:25

You literally see more of his imagination, you can see

0:01:250:01:29

the invention, but you can also see him learning his craft.

0:01:290:01:32

Charlie is only his second ever children book.

0:01:320:01:35

The illustrator, Quentin Blake, brought Dahl's books to life

0:01:350:01:39

and made lots of drawings for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

0:01:390:01:42

I knew that he rewrote and rewrote many times.

0:01:420:01:46

For this last chapter about the Vanilla Fudge Mountain,

0:01:460:01:50

he is including people who aren't in the final work.

0:01:500:01:54

It is interesting to see something at an earlier stage.

0:01:540:01:56

What happened in the cooking, as it were, is rather fascinating.

0:01:560:02:01

The extra characters had to go because the story was

0:02:010:02:03

a bit too complicated, but all these years later,

0:02:030:02:06

the discovery of a missing chapter is a reminder of just how brilliant

0:02:060:02:09

and creative Roald Dahl was.

0:02:090:02:13

All today you've been telling us over on the website what you'd

0:02:130:02:16

add to your favourite book.

0:02:160:02:17

Rebecca wants to add an extra character to her favourite

0:02:170:02:20

book Demon Dentist.

0:02:200:02:22

The character would be called Billy and would be Alfie's best friend.

0:02:220:02:28

more patients on Elsie's ward.

0:02:280:02:31

Thanks so much for all those comments, keep them coming in.

0:02:310:02:35

Footy news and the Premier League is set to

0:02:350:02:38

lose one of its most expensive ever players, Fernando Torres.

0:02:380:02:42

The Spaniard is expected to leave Chelsea over the weekend to join

0:02:420:02:45

AC Milan on a two-year loan deal.

0:02:450:02:48

The striker's current team mates are in action later today

0:02:480:02:50

against Everton.

0:02:500:02:53

The early kick-off sees newly-promoted Burnley take

0:02:530:02:55

on Manchester United and the Red Devils boss Louis van Gaal is

0:02:550:02:58

still aiming for a top four finish despite a slow start to the season.

0:02:580:03:03

I hope that we succeed, and that we are this year in the top

0:03:030:03:12

four, because the Champions League suits a club like Manchester United.

0:03:120:03:18

Maybe the next step is to be champions, then the next step is to

0:03:180:03:24

be winner of the Champions League. That needs time.

0:03:240:03:29

For the past three years, a severe drought has gripped western

0:03:290:03:32

parts of the US.

0:03:320:03:33

The dry conditions in the area make it easier

0:03:330:03:37

for wildfires to start, which can destroy large areas of woodland.

0:03:370:03:40

But less land in the region has been lost in recent years and it's all

0:03:400:03:43

down to the Smoke Jumpers, a special team of firefighters sent

0:03:430:03:48

in to tackle the fires.

0:03:480:03:52

When the horn goes off, for us, it is a great feeling.

0:03:530:03:56

Get ready, you jump out, that is pretty crazy.

0:03:560:04:05

My name is Ben, I'm 29 and I am a rookie Smoke Jumper in California.

0:04:050:04:09

I am Gretchen, I'm 25, I have been a Smoke Jumper for,

0:04:100:04:14

this is my third season.

0:04:140:04:16

I am the only female Smoke Jumper here in California.

0:04:160:04:19

I don't feel I have to act like a guy or have male mannerisms

0:04:190:04:24

or anything.

0:04:240:04:25

I think I am respected and appreciated as a woman here.

0:04:250:04:29

We have all the same physical standards

0:04:290:04:31

for men and women, that helps a lot in terms of getting respect.

0:04:310:04:35

My name is Luis Gomez, I am the operations manager.

0:04:350:04:35

Once we've dropped the guys, they set up the area for a mission,

0:04:360:04:39

My name is Luis Gomez, I am the operations manager.

0:04:390:04:42

Once we've dropped the guys, they set up the area for a mission,

0:04:420:04:45

where we throw the fire boxes, whatever they need.

0:04:450:04:49

In the fire boxes there are two sleepingbags, tools and food

0:04:490:04:55

for three days for two people.

0:04:550:04:57

Once they do the safety briefing by the fire perimeter,

0:04:570:05:00

they go into the operations, which is cutting all the material

0:05:000:05:03

that can burn away from the fire.

0:05:030:05:05

Creating an area that won't burn.

0:05:050:05:09

Our largest hazard is out in the wilderness, wild land area.

0:05:090:05:13

Anything is possible.

0:05:130:05:17

Next, Blackpool has had it's famous illuminations switched on

0:05:170:05:21

by the comedian Peter Kay.

0:05:210:05:22

Around 18,000 people witnessed the moment they were turned on and

0:05:220:05:25

over the next two months thousands of visiting tourists from all over

0:05:250:05:28

the world will be able to see them.

0:05:280:05:32

Now get your fingers ready, get your arms posed.

0:05:320:05:34

For your best air giutar!

0:05:340:05:36

Yeah!

0:05:360:05:40

Because air guitarists from all over

0:05:400:05:44

the world battled it out at the Air Guitar World Championships

0:05:440:05:48

in Finland last night.

0:05:480:05:49

But Nanami "Seven Seas" Nagura from Japan won this year's title.

0:05:490:05:52

The 19-year old became the 19th world champion.

0:05:520:05:56

That's all from me, Newsround's back just before 2pm - see ya! Now

0:05:560:05:59

where did I put that guitar?
