-I'm Mark.

-And I'm Lauren.

-And this is The Dengineers.

0:00:020:00:04

The show that puts you in charge, building your very own dream den.

0:00:040:00:08

'Dens for adventure...'

0:00:090:00:11

Hello, trapdoor!

0:00:110:00:12

'Hanging out with your friends and family...'

0:00:120:00:15

This den is the best thing ever.

0:00:150:00:16

'And dens built to fulfil your dreams.'

0:00:160:00:19

-It's more than he could ever have wanted.

-Ah, Mum...!

0:00:190:00:22

'Whatever your ideas,

0:00:220:00:24

'the Dengineers team are here to transform

0:00:240:00:26

'your inspiration into amazing spaces.'

0:00:260:00:29

'Built especially for you.'

0:00:290:00:31

-ALL:

-This den is done!

0:00:310:00:34

-Hello!

-Hello!

0:00:370:00:39

Yes, you, Lola!

0:00:390:00:41

Let's do it.

0:00:470:00:48

That is epic.

0:00:530:00:55

Really happy.

0:00:550:00:56

It's amazing.

0:00:560:00:57

Hello. We're in Leeds today,

0:01:030:01:04

where a unit of Girl Guides will be joining us at this very park -

0:01:040:01:08

one of which is our Dengineer.

0:01:080:01:10

A unit of Girl Guides? So, what are we talking? Like, five?

0:01:100:01:13

-Nah.

-Ten?

0:01:130:01:14

-Nah.

-15?

0:01:140:01:17

-Nah. Try over 30.

-Over 30?!

0:01:170:01:20

So, what you're saying is we're going to have to avoid

0:01:200:01:22

being spotted by a whole park full of people AND over 30 Girl Guides?!

0:01:220:01:27

That's exactly what I'm saying.

0:01:270:01:28

We don't make it easy on ourselves, do we?

0:01:280:01:30

No, so we'd better get going. Come on.

0:01:300:01:32

Whilst our team starts setting up

0:01:320:01:33

the hidden cameras for the big surprise,

0:01:330:01:36

let's meet today's Dengineer.

0:01:360:01:37

Meet ten-year-old Carrie from Leeds.

0:01:420:01:45

Dengineers, I really need your help

0:01:450:01:47

to create me a fab, positive den

0:01:470:01:49

celebrating all things being ginger.

0:01:490:01:52

Carrie loves her amazing red hair,

0:01:520:01:54

but others haven't always been quite so positive about it.

0:01:540:01:58

Well, Carrie's really keen to celebrate the colour of her hair,

0:01:580:02:01

mainly because, in the past, she's been singled out because of it.

0:02:010:02:04

She's always tried to remain positive,

0:02:040:02:06

but sometimes people have not been very kind about it.

0:02:060:02:08

So this is a really good way for her to celebrate.

0:02:080:02:11

Carrie's mega-upbeat attitude stretches far and wide,

0:02:110:02:15

and she uses it to help other children at school.

0:02:150:02:18

And one of those is seven-year-old Lily-Jade.

0:02:180:02:21

She helps me stay in the classroom,

0:02:210:02:23

and when I'm upset or sad, she's always there for me.

0:02:230:02:26

As a reward for being good at school,

0:02:260:02:29

Lily-Jade gets to spend time with Carrie

0:02:290:02:31

and their favourite thing to do is read together.

0:02:310:02:34

Carrie is really important to Lily and how she gets on at school,

0:02:340:02:37

cos Lily is really, really bright

0:02:370:02:40

and she just needs a little bit of focus sometimes.

0:02:400:02:42

And if she knows that she's got encouragement and praise

0:02:420:02:45

and rewards with Carrie,

0:02:450:02:47

then that keeps her really focused.

0:02:470:02:49

Carrie loves helping other children at school.

0:02:490:02:52

So much so, she wants to become a teacher one day.

0:02:520:02:55

And there's one subject that Carrie would be perfect at teaching.

0:02:550:02:59

Oh, it would definitely be arts and crafts.

0:02:590:03:01

Anything, painting, drawing, creative,

0:03:010:03:04

with a little bit of imagination thrown in,

0:03:040:03:06

that's what she'd be brilliant at.

0:03:060:03:08

This girl really deserves a den.

0:03:080:03:10

And a den is exactly what Carrie's about to get -

0:03:100:03:14

she just doesn't know it yet.

0:03:140:03:15

This park is filling up quickly,

0:03:180:03:20

so our team better get their skates on

0:03:200:03:21

-fitting in the hidden cameras, hey, Tim?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:03:210:03:24

Whilst the Dengineers team work double-time

0:03:240:03:26

to get everything set for the big surprise,

0:03:260:03:29

Carrie and her Girl Guide pals start to arrive at the park.

0:03:290:03:33

Now, all we need is our Dengineer on the inside.

0:03:330:03:36

So, Gillian, you're the leader of Carrie's Girl Guide unit,

0:03:360:03:39

which makes you the perfect person for this job.

0:03:390:03:42

-I am.

-Now, Gillian, what have you told the girls?

0:03:420:03:44

We've told the girls they're coming here

0:03:440:03:46

to make a film for Girl Guiding.

0:03:460:03:47

I like it. Sneaky skills.

0:03:470:03:49

Do you think that Carrie has any idea what's about to happen?

0:03:490:03:52

-I don't think she's any idea whatsoever.

-Good.

0:03:520:03:54

How do you think she'll react?

0:03:540:03:56

I think she's going to be so shocked and surprised.

0:03:560:03:58

Yeah, I think she's going to be super, super excited.

0:03:580:04:01

Having had this chat, I'm already feeling like an honorary Girl Guide.

0:04:010:04:04

-Here we go...

-Do you want to make your promise?

0:04:040:04:06

-Yeah! How do I do that?

-Make the Guide Sign.

0:04:060:04:08

-OK, three fingers.

-And repeat after me.

0:04:080:04:10

-I promise that I will do my best.

-I promise that I will do my best.

0:04:100:04:13

To be true to myself and to develop my beliefs.

0:04:130:04:15

To be true to myself and develop my beliefs.

0:04:150:04:16

-To serve the Queen and my community.

-To serve the Queen and my community.

0:04:160:04:20

-To help other people.

-To help other people.

0:04:200:04:22

-And to keep the Guide law.

-And to keep the Guide law.

0:04:220:04:24

Ha-ha! Look at that!

0:04:240:04:26

Gillian, it is now time for you to go and get the girls.

0:04:260:04:29

So, go on, off you go, make it happen, and we'll see you in a bit.

0:04:290:04:32

-Thank you. See you later.

-Go on, Gillian!

0:04:320:04:33

-You're not a Girl Guide.

-I am!

-You never will be.

-I am now!

0:04:330:04:36

I was a Scout, love.

0:04:360:04:37

Yeah, you wish, Mark.

0:04:370:04:38

The park is filling up quickly, so we need to get our team

0:04:380:04:41

into position before the surprise is blown.

0:04:410:04:44

Gillian rounds up the Girl Guides for a spot of fictional filming.

0:04:440:04:48

The surprise is on.

0:04:480:04:50

(They're right there.)

0:04:550:04:57

They're literally right there.

0:04:570:04:58

-Let's do this.

-(Come on.)

0:05:000:05:02

-Got it.

-Right...

0:05:020:05:04

-Hello!

-Hello, girls. How are you doing?

0:05:100:05:13

Now, we are looking for...Carrie.

0:05:130:05:16

-Hello, Carrie.

-Come over here, Carrie.

0:05:170:05:20

-I am Mark.

-And I'm Lauren.

0:05:200:05:22

We're from CBBC's The Dengineers.

0:05:220:05:25

Now, we've heard that you would love to build

0:05:250:05:29

your very own awesome den celebrating all things ginger.

0:05:290:05:32

-Is that correct?

-Yeah.

0:05:320:05:34

Well, that's exactly what you're going to get.

0:05:340:05:37

-How does that sound?

-Awesome.

0:05:370:05:39

Give her a big round of applause, everyone.

0:05:390:05:41

Woo-hoo!

0:05:410:05:43

So, Carrie is going to be coming with us

0:05:430:05:46

to build her very own awesome dream den.

0:05:460:05:50

So, girls, I'm afraid to say, we're going to have to leave you,

0:05:500:05:52

but you're all going to come to the den one time and have some fun?

0:05:520:05:55

-GIRLS:

-Yes!

0:05:550:05:57

For now, we've got to take Carrie away, so we'll see you later.

0:05:570:05:59

-Bye.

-Bye.

0:05:590:06:01

It was amazing when Mark and Lauren jumped up on the kerb,

0:06:020:06:05

cos I wasn't expecting it at all.

0:06:050:06:08

I'm, like, one hundred thousand million percent happy.

0:06:080:06:11

Never been as happy as this before.

0:06:110:06:14

It's definitely the coolest thing that's ever happened at Guides.

0:06:140:06:18

She's a really valued member at our Guides,

0:06:180:06:20

and she deserves what she's getting because she's just really nice,

0:06:200:06:24

and to have something good to happen to her...

0:06:240:06:26

It's really cool, because, like, being ginger, as well,

0:06:260:06:29

so I support it all.

0:06:290:06:30

Our first port of call is the mobile Dengineers HQ

0:06:300:06:34

which has some mega-cool technology to get this den rolling.

0:06:340:06:37

So, Carrie, in here is where we're going to download

0:06:390:06:42

all of the ideas that you've got in your head

0:06:420:06:44

and pop them onto this big computer.

0:06:440:06:46

And remember, Carrie, you are the boss of your own den,

0:06:460:06:49

so anything you see here, anything you want, throw it up.

0:06:490:06:52

What's the actual idea for your den? How can we kick things off?

0:06:520:06:56

I want a gingerbread theme.

0:06:560:07:00

-This is brilliant.

-A gingerbread house.

0:07:000:07:02

A gingerbread house for the ginger theme.

0:07:020:07:06

Explain what kind of gingerbread house you want.

0:07:060:07:09

I want it to be like for when I grow up, as well.

0:07:090:07:11

Yeah, we need to think about the future here, don't we?

0:07:110:07:14

What about something more like that?

0:07:140:07:16

That's better because it isn't as babyish.

0:07:160:07:20

I love quotes.

0:07:200:07:22

-There's lots of quotes.

-OK, nice.

0:07:230:07:25

Carrie, what's your favourite quote?

0:07:250:07:27

My favourite quote is

0:07:270:07:28

"Be yourself - everyone else is taken".

0:07:280:07:31

That is one of the good ones.

0:07:320:07:34

-That is a lovely quote.

-I like it a lot.

0:07:340:07:36

So, what's your den actually going to be for?

0:07:360:07:39

What are you going to use it for?

0:07:390:07:40

I like doing crafts...

0:07:400:07:42

-OK. So, like that.

-Yeah.

0:07:420:07:44

I think it's one of the most unique ideas

0:07:440:07:47

that we've had so far in The Dengineers.

0:07:470:07:49

I've never heard anything like it,

0:07:490:07:51

and I think it's going to be absolutely brilliant.

0:07:510:07:54

So, Carrie's decided on a grown-up gingerbread house for her den,

0:07:540:07:58

with positive and inspirational quotes on the wall,

0:07:580:08:01

and a space where she can work on her arts and crafts.

0:08:010:08:04

Carrie's got some big plans for the den,

0:08:040:08:07

but we can't get started until we know

0:08:070:08:09

where she wants to build her awesome gingerbread house.

0:08:090:08:13

Right, Carrie, so, where are we having the den?

0:08:130:08:15

-In that corner over there.

-Ah... I see.

0:08:150:08:18

That does look pretty good, quite a big space.

0:08:180:08:20

But we've got a tree in the way.

0:08:200:08:21

Well, ha-ha!

0:08:210:08:23

Luckily, for you guys, I am actually a really good tree surgeon,

0:08:230:08:27

so if anyone could pass me my old chainsaw, get to work...

0:08:270:08:31

SHE IMITATES CHAINSAW

0:08:310:08:33

-The tree is this skinny and this big.

-Yeah.

0:08:330:08:36

You do not need a chainsaw - we can get that out with our hands.

0:08:360:08:38

Bit of elbow grease, little shovel, we're in there.

0:08:380:08:41

Yeah, that's what I was going to say.

0:08:410:08:44

If Carrie wants to build her den here,

0:08:440:08:46

we need to do a spot of Dengineers gardening

0:08:460:08:48

and transfer this tree to another patch of grass.

0:08:480:08:52

A job like this is going to take some serious strength.

0:08:520:08:55

HE GROANS, BOTH CHEER

0:08:550:08:58

Whilst Mark puts his muscles into action,

0:08:580:09:01

me and Carrie get our hands dirty.

0:09:010:09:03

After a mighty team effort, the tree is in its new home,

0:09:060:09:11

and the corner of the garden is ready for Carrie's den.

0:09:110:09:14

Mum, are you gutted about your tree?

0:09:140:09:16

I do think it looks quite nice there.

0:09:160:09:18

-Yay!

-I was worried about that.

-Good job.

0:09:180:09:20

But on the one hand we giveth,

0:09:200:09:23

on the other hand we take away-eth.

0:09:230:09:27

In other words, Mum...see this sign?

0:09:270:09:30

Sling your hook.

0:09:300:09:32

-Go on.

-Bye, Mum.

-Dengineers only.

-See ya!

0:09:320:09:34

-Sure...

-See you later.

-Bye!

0:09:340:09:37

'I'm really quite nervous.'

0:09:370:09:39

Just letting go of my garden and handing it over to her

0:09:390:09:42

is a little bit worrying, but I do trust her.

0:09:420:09:45

With the site cleared, it's time to meet the designer of Carrie's den.

0:09:450:09:49

But who will make her gingerbread house dreams come to life?

0:09:490:09:53

Well, it is two for the price of one with this den.

0:09:530:09:56

Meet Tony and Satwinder.

0:09:560:09:58

They're both amazing architects and lecturers

0:09:580:10:00

who, between them, have over 40 years' experience

0:10:000:10:03

designing awesome structures.

0:10:030:10:05

They're a perfect match for this den.

0:10:050:10:08

So, we've been chatting to Mark and Lauren,

0:10:080:10:10

and we've seen all your brilliant ideas,

0:10:100:10:11

and we're really excited about designing your den.

0:10:110:10:14

Have you had any thoughts how it should look?

0:10:140:10:16

I want it to, when I grow up, I can go in it

0:10:160:10:19

and not think it's a bit kiddy.

0:10:190:10:21

We want to make it look like a gingerbread house,

0:10:210:10:23

-but be slightly different.

-Yeah.

0:10:230:10:25

So one thing we thought it could be,

0:10:250:10:27

it could be quite crooked, a bit sort of Gothic.

0:10:270:10:29

-That would be really cool, yeah.

-OK, you got any other thoughts?

0:10:290:10:32

Maybe, like, if I could have a table,

0:10:320:10:34

so I could do lots of craft work on that, that would be really cool.

0:10:340:10:38

Fantastic. So what we could have is a desk maybe up against one wall,

0:10:380:10:42

and we had an idea that we might have a mirror on the wall

0:10:420:10:45

so it looks like the desk is disappearing into the other side.

0:10:450:10:50

Yeah, that sounds awesome.

0:10:500:10:52

Tony and Satwinder's plans have been given a big tick from Carrie.

0:10:520:10:56

They've designed the outside of the den

0:10:560:10:58

to look like a grown-up, crooked gingerbread house,

0:10:580:11:01

and inside she'll have an awesome desk to do her arts and crafts,

0:11:010:11:05

and Tony and Satwinder are going to do some cool tricks with mirrors

0:11:050:11:08

to create Carrie a magical space.

0:11:080:11:10

This is probably more than I expected in the den.

0:11:100:11:14

I didn't think it were going to be this good. I can't wait!

0:11:140:11:16

I just want to build it right now.

0:11:160:11:19

The first job for the Dengineers is to lay down some concrete slabs

0:11:190:11:23

which are needed to support the weight of Carrie's den.

0:11:230:11:25

With the ground ready for action,

0:11:280:11:29

it's time for the rest of the team to arrive.

0:11:290:11:32

And, boy, do we bring a lot of kit.

0:11:330:11:36

Keep coming, keep coming, keep coming...

0:11:360:11:38

It's as tall as you!

0:11:410:11:42

'Unpacking all this den-building kit is thirsty work,

0:11:460:11:49

'so it's a good job me, Tony and Carrie

0:11:490:11:51

'are brew-maker extraordinaires.'

0:11:510:11:53

That's lovely, that.

0:11:530:11:55

The Dengineers have well and truly moved in,

0:11:550:11:57

and the first job of the day is to put up the main structure of the den

0:11:570:12:01

which has been made off site from over 130 metres of timber.

0:12:010:12:05

That's about the same length as one and a half football pitches.

0:12:050:12:09

This is a massive job, and one that is concerning designer Tony.

0:12:090:12:14

This is one of the most complicated designs I think we've done.

0:12:140:12:17

Just to get it to stand up is tricky, let alone make it look good.

0:12:170:12:20

So, yeah, I'm pretty worried at the minute.

0:12:200:12:22

The Dengineers spend all of day one

0:12:220:12:24

putting Tony and Satwinder's complex plans into action...

0:12:240:12:28

Magic!

0:12:300:12:32

Look, it slots right in.

0:12:320:12:35

'..whilst me and Carrie paint the letters

0:12:350:12:36

'that will spell out her name along the roof of the den.'

0:12:360:12:39

Tone, what are you saying?

0:12:390:12:42

-I'm saying it looks great.

-Yeah!

-I love it.

0:12:420:12:44

The centrepiece inside Carrie's den

0:12:450:12:47

is going to be an arts and crafts desk,

0:12:470:12:50

and Satwinder's got a cool idea for an upcycled chair to go with it.

0:12:500:12:53

Can you guess what this is?

0:12:580:13:00

Is it the thing inside the washing machine?

0:13:000:13:02

Yeah, it is.

0:13:020:13:04

It's not from your house - don't worry.

0:13:040:13:06

It's from an old washing machine.

0:13:060:13:07

So, what we're going to do is

0:13:070:13:09

we're going to use this to make the structure

0:13:090:13:11

of a special chair that goes in your den.

0:13:110:13:13

-What do you think?

-It sounds awesome.

0:13:130:13:16

To turn this old washing machine part

0:13:160:13:18

into a cool chair for Carrie's den,

0:13:180:13:20

the first thing to do is paint the metal exterior.

0:13:200:13:23

I like this colour.

0:13:230:13:25

Then Satwinder and Carrie move on to painting the wooden legs

0:13:250:13:28

that the chair will rest on.

0:13:280:13:30

How do you think that looks against the brown?

0:13:300:13:32

I think it works really well, doesn't it?

0:13:320:13:35

The next time Carrie will see her upcycled chair

0:13:350:13:38

it'll be complete with a cushion to sit on

0:13:380:13:40

and will have pride of place in her gingerbread house den.

0:13:400:13:43

With a mixture of hard work and tasty refreshments

0:13:430:13:46

in the shape of Carrie's home-made gingerbread men,

0:13:460:13:49

it's not long until the structure of the den is up.

0:13:490:13:52

Perfect.

0:13:520:13:53

I think today has gone amazingly.

0:13:530:13:56

I don't think it could've gone any better.

0:13:560:13:59

Day one of the build is done,

0:13:590:14:01

and the mood in the camp is sky-high.

0:14:010:14:04

Tony, I literally cannot believe how much has gone up in one day.

0:14:040:14:09

-Let's just go on holiday, guys.

-Whoa, no, we can't.

0:14:090:14:11

We've got hundreds of these to put on tomorrow.

0:14:110:14:13

It's going to take all day, so...we're not there yet.

0:14:130:14:16

The build's gone really well today,

0:14:160:14:18

but I think everyone's sort of underestimating a little bit

0:14:180:14:20

what needs to be done.

0:14:200:14:21

There's still loads to do, and there's only three days left now.

0:14:210:14:24

It's day two in Leeds, and the weather forecast today is windy.

0:14:280:14:32

Very windy.

0:14:340:14:35

Which is the worst possible weather if you need to fit

0:14:350:14:38

hundreds of wooden shingles to the roof of a den.

0:14:380:14:41

The biggest concern is the weather.

0:14:410:14:43

If the wind gets too strong,

0:14:430:14:44

we'll have to just stop doing the shingles today,

0:14:440:14:46

cos it could genuinely get quite dangerous.

0:14:460:14:49

At the moment it's safe for the Dengineers team to push on

0:14:490:14:52

with laying the shingles onto the roof.

0:14:520:14:55

But if it gets any stronger,

0:14:550:14:57

the team will have no choice but to stop working.

0:14:570:15:00

Which would be a disaster for their chances of finishing the den

0:15:000:15:03

in time for the big reveal.

0:15:030:15:05

As the team keep one eye on the weather,

0:15:050:15:07

I get stuck into some arts and crafts with Carrie's mum

0:15:070:15:10

and find out why she deserves this amazing den.

0:15:100:15:13

So, where did the idea of doing a gingerbread house come from?

0:15:130:15:17

Well, she was trying to think of something very original

0:15:170:15:20

and she came up with the idea of her ginger hair.

0:15:200:15:24

The more she started thinking about

0:15:240:15:25

the gingerbread and the ginger den and the ginger hair,

0:15:250:15:28

she just came up with the idea about,

0:15:280:15:30

"How about we make it a really positive den?"

0:15:300:15:32

and "I have it as a place where I can go and chill out

0:15:320:15:34

"and feel positive if I've had a hard day at school."

0:15:340:15:37

So, why do you think Carrie deserves her den?

0:15:370:15:41

Just really to have a place that's hers,

0:15:410:15:43

because she's so used to doing stuff for everybody else.

0:15:430:15:46

I think she deserves it just for being generally all-round lovely.

0:15:460:15:49

I agree, fully agree.

0:15:490:15:51

Back in the garden, and despite the windy conditions,

0:15:520:15:55

the team are working double-time on the roof of the den.

0:15:550:15:59

And whilst they crack on,

0:15:590:16:01

Carrie and Tony have some serious choices to make...on paint.

0:16:010:16:05

Right, Carrie, so we want to add a little bit of colour

0:16:050:16:08

to the outside of your den,

0:16:080:16:09

so shall we mix some paint and test it on here?

0:16:090:16:12

To help pick the perfect colour for the outside of the den,

0:16:120:16:15

Carrie and Tony test out various washes of paint

0:16:150:16:18

by diluting it with water.

0:16:180:16:21

OK, Carrie, so which one do you think's working best?

0:16:210:16:23

-Well, I like the third one.

-Yeah.

-But I had an idea.

0:16:230:16:27

What happened if we'd mix them both together?

0:16:270:16:30

-OK, so it's like a unique colour for you.

-Yeah.

0:16:300:16:33

We could give it a go. Shall we try it?

0:16:330:16:35

-Yeah, let's go.

-All right.

0:16:350:16:37

Carrie's idea is to mix both the orange and the red paint together

0:16:370:16:40

to create her very own colour.

0:16:400:16:42

And after testing out

0:16:420:16:44

a few different mixtures of paints and water,

0:16:440:16:46

it's decision time.

0:16:460:16:47

Right, Carrie, what do you think? Which one's your favourite?

0:16:470:16:50

The one that really caught my eye was this one,

0:16:500:16:52

because it's, I guess, a gingerbread theme,

0:16:520:16:54

and it really works well with my den.

0:16:540:16:56

Perfect. Well, we'll use that. Great.

0:16:560:16:59

With the colour picked, Carrie and co crack on mixing

0:16:590:17:02

a mega batch of the chosen wash of paint.

0:17:020:17:05

I think we might...

0:17:050:17:07

-I think we need a bit more of the red.

-Yeah.

0:17:070:17:09

Carrie and the Dengineers have to be really precise

0:17:090:17:12

when mixing this wash.

0:17:120:17:14

Whoa.

0:17:140:17:15

They can't afford to have any errors with this task.

0:17:150:17:18

If we get this wrong and we start painting it,

0:17:180:17:21

and it won't fade back to that colour...

0:17:210:17:24

-Which'll be a bit sad.

-And we've only got one shot at it.

0:17:240:17:27

With Carrie in charge, the team take their time

0:17:280:17:30

and finally get the perfect paint wash for the den.

0:17:300:17:33

Tony, I think this is our paint.

0:17:330:17:35

All right. Well, let's splash it on.

0:17:350:17:37

Carrie's been brilliant.

0:17:370:17:39

She's really taken control of the whole project, really,

0:17:390:17:41

and she's kind of bossing us around quite a bit,

0:17:410:17:43

which is quite refreshing.

0:17:430:17:45

The rough winds have finally died down,

0:17:450:17:48

and the sun has come out in perfect time

0:17:480:17:50

for the team to start painting the outside of the den.

0:17:500:17:53

Oh, my gosh, this looks so good.

0:17:540:17:57

We need to really have a name for this colour.

0:17:570:18:00

What do you think we should call it?

0:18:000:18:02

I think it should be named after you.

0:18:020:18:04

-Car-red. Car-red.

-Cred?

0:18:040:18:07

-Car-range.

-Car-range. Yeah.

0:18:070:18:10

-OK, I like Car-range red.

-Let's go with Car-range.

0:18:100:18:12

The Dengineers work their socks off all afternoon,

0:18:140:18:17

and it's not long until the den is painted and the roof is finished.

0:18:170:18:21

BOTH CHEER

0:18:210:18:24

Today I've had lots of fun,

0:18:240:18:25

but my favourite bit was probably making my own colour of paint,

0:18:250:18:30

which was car-range,

0:18:300:18:32

and I really like the shade

0:18:320:18:34

and it looks really, really great on the den.

0:18:340:18:36

Carrie's worked really hard again. You can't stop her.

0:18:360:18:39

I don't think we could've got this far without her.

0:18:390:18:42

The Dengineers team are making brilliant progress with the den,

0:18:420:18:45

so I think it's time for Carrie to take a break from the build.

0:18:450:18:48

We are trading in this garden-cum-building site in Leeds

0:18:520:18:55

for Wembley Arena in London,

0:18:550:18:57

where 20,000 of Carrie's fellow Girl Guides have rocked up

0:18:570:19:01

to see the Girl Guiding Big Gig.

0:19:010:19:03

And headlining this massive gig is

0:19:030:19:05

Carrie's favourite artist and fellow redhead, Jess Glynne.

0:19:050:19:09

-Carrie, are you happy with these seats?

-Yeah.

0:19:090:19:12

-Are they good?

-Yeah.

0:19:120:19:14

Well, Carrie, we don't do just "good" on the Dengineers.

0:19:140:19:18

-Amazing!

-We...

0:19:180:19:19

..have VIP seating.

0:19:210:19:23

Do you want to sit here, or in these seats?

0:19:230:19:26

In these seats.

0:19:260:19:27

-Shall we go?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

0:19:280:19:30

These VIP passes get our Carrie close to the action -

0:19:300:19:34

and I mean mega close.

0:19:340:19:37

Carrie, look where we're standing right now.

0:19:370:19:39

-We're basically on the stage.

-Yeah.

0:19:390:19:41

Jess is about to take the stage,

0:19:440:19:46

so it's time for me and Carrie to take our seats.

0:19:460:19:49

Now it's time for the star the show.

0:19:490:19:51

# Darling, hold my hand

0:19:540:19:55

# Oh, won't you hold my hand?

0:19:570:19:59

# Cos I don't wanna walk on my own any more

0:20:010:20:05

# Won't you understand?

0:20:050:20:07

# Cos I don't wanna walk alone

0:20:080:20:11

# I'm ready for this

0:20:110:20:12

# There's no denying

0:20:120:20:14

# I'm ready for this

0:20:140:20:16

# You stop me falling

0:20:160:20:18

# I'm reading for this

0:20:180:20:20

# I need you all in... #

0:20:200:20:21

-Can you believe how close you are?

-I know!

0:20:210:20:24

# So, darling, hold my hand. #

0:20:240:20:26

-Woo!

-Wow!

-That was awesome.

0:20:290:20:33

It's been one of the best days. I will never forget it.

0:20:330:20:36

It's just massive for me.

0:20:360:20:39

Carrie's on top of the world.

0:20:400:20:42

But there's still one last surprise.

0:20:420:20:44

And this one is a belter.

0:20:440:20:46

Home time. Yeah.

0:20:460:20:48

What if I said we're going to go backstage

0:20:480:20:51

and meet Jess Glynne herself?

0:20:510:20:53

-Would you be up for that?

-Yeah!

0:20:540:20:57

-Are you sure, or do you want to go home?

-No.

-Let's go!

0:20:570:21:00

Jess Glynne may be

0:21:010:21:03

one of the biggest artists in the world right now,

0:21:030:21:06

but that doesn't mean she hasn't got time for the Dengineers.

0:21:060:21:08

So, Carrie, meet Jess. Jess, meet Carrie.

0:21:080:21:11

-I like the colour of your hair.

-Thanks!

0:21:110:21:13

What have you got to say about the colour of your hair?

0:21:130:21:15

What are you doing with the Dengineers?

0:21:150:21:17

-Well, people used to tease me because of my hair colour...

-Oh...

0:21:170:21:20

..so I wanted to do a den to be proud of it and to be positive.

0:21:200:21:25

-Yeah! Can I come?

-Yeah.

-Oh, wicked!

0:21:250:21:28

-Would you let Jess into your den?

-Yeah!

-Oh, that's exciting.

0:21:280:21:31

-I'm going to the ginger den when it's ready.

-Yeah.

0:21:310:21:33

-If you invite me, that is.

-Yeah.

0:21:330:21:35

-I think you'll definitely be invited, Jess.

-Yeah.

0:21:350:21:37

The ginger den!

0:21:370:21:38

Meeting Jess Glynne was absolutely amazing.

0:21:410:21:44

It was like a dream come true.

0:21:440:21:45

I think I will take all the positiveness from today

0:21:450:21:49

and take it to go in my den.

0:21:490:21:51

Back at the den,

0:21:520:21:53

the team are pushing on into day three of the build.

0:21:530:21:56

And from here on in, Carrie won't see the den

0:21:560:21:59

until the big reveal tomorrow.

0:21:590:22:01

I'm really nervous about not seeing my den,

0:22:010:22:04

but I'm putting all my trust into Satwinder and Tony

0:22:040:22:07

and hoping that they'll do a good job.

0:22:070:22:09

In the absence of Carrie, the Dengineers crack on with the build.

0:22:090:22:14

But it's not long until the team hit a problem.

0:22:140:22:17

About that much gap.

0:22:170:22:19

It's a wonky door, so we're having a bit of trouble fitting it.

0:22:190:22:22

It's vital that the door fits, so we've got to make time for it.

0:22:220:22:26

Hopefully it doesn't mean we have to sacrifice a few other things.

0:22:260:22:28

As soon as Carrie leaves, something goes wrong.

0:22:280:22:32

Well, she's like the lead Dengineer, isn't she?

0:22:320:22:34

And now she's gone, all these problems are coming up.

0:22:340:22:36

-We need to get her back.

-Where's she gone?

0:22:360:22:39

The Dengineers team work together

0:22:400:22:42

to find a solution to their door dilemma.

0:22:420:22:44

-Yeah...

-I sorted it.

0:22:440:22:46

Time is ticking until the big reveal,

0:22:480:22:50

and the Dengineers need to finish painting the inside of the den

0:22:500:22:53

and lay the flooring,

0:22:530:22:54

whilst Carrie customises

0:22:540:22:56

her very own gingerbread man door knocker.

0:22:560:22:59

As day three comes to an end,

0:22:590:23:01

the team are mega happy with the den.

0:23:010:23:03

We're absolutely delighted.

0:23:030:23:05

I think Carrie's going to be really, really happy with it.

0:23:050:23:07

-I hope so, I hope so.

-I hope so, too.

0:23:070:23:09

It's the morning of day four,

0:23:120:23:14

and Carrie's den is looking in great shape for the big reveal

0:23:140:23:17

in just a few hours' time.

0:23:170:23:19

The team want this den looking perfect for the big reveal,

0:23:200:23:23

so me and Satwinder do some paint touch-ups to the outside.

0:23:230:23:27

And me and Tony customise the inside of the den.

0:23:270:23:29

There you go. We better move on to the next thing.

0:23:290:23:31

That's the pictures up.

0:23:310:23:32

Whilst the team add the finishing touches,

0:23:320:23:35

I catch up with Satwinder

0:23:350:23:36

to find out the engineering behind the use of mirrors in this den.

0:23:360:23:40

So what happens is, here's the desk, the mirror's in the corner.

0:23:400:23:44

When you look through,

0:23:440:23:46

it looks like the desk is just carrying on into the distance,

0:23:460:23:49

so it makes that corner look bigger when you least expect it.

0:23:490:23:52

-We've done it in that corner over there, as well.

-Oh, yeah.

0:23:520:23:56

Tony and Satwinder have used

0:23:560:23:57

a tactic they call reflecting the corner,

0:23:570:24:00

to create an illusion of more space in the den.

0:24:000:24:03

So instead of seeing the desk come to an end at the wall,

0:24:030:24:06

the mirror makes it look like you can see through the wall

0:24:060:24:09

into an imaginary space where the desk goes on and on.

0:24:090:24:13

-Last hook.

-Last one.

0:24:130:24:14

The big reveal is a matter of minutes away,

0:24:140:24:16

and the Dengineers make one last push towards the finish line.

0:24:160:24:20

How cool is that? Put that there.

0:24:200:24:22

-Great stuff.

-High five me.

-Nice one.

-Sorted.

0:24:220:24:24

This patch of garden used to be home to a few plants and a tree.

0:24:340:24:38

But Tony, Satwinder and the Dengineers

0:24:380:24:40

have worked their magic over the past four days

0:24:400:24:43

and transformed it into

0:24:430:24:44

an incredible ginger house den for Carrie.

0:24:440:24:47

The stage is set for the big reveal,

0:24:470:24:50

and Carrie's friends, family and Girl Guide pals

0:24:500:24:52

have arrived at the house to see the den.

0:24:520:24:54

It has been absolutely brilliant

0:24:540:24:56

having the Dengineers take over my house.

0:24:560:24:58

I wouldn't have had it any other way.

0:24:580:24:59

I've loved every minute of it. To see the den, I'm just so excited.

0:24:590:25:03

I'm just... I really just can't wait!

0:25:030:25:06

I am really, really, really mega excited about seeing my den.

0:25:060:25:10

I just can't wait. I need to see it.

0:25:100:25:13

Well, you don't have to wait any longer, Carrie,

0:25:130:25:15

because it's countdown time.

0:25:150:25:18

ALL: Three, two, one!

0:25:180:25:21

Carrie, what's your first thought?

0:25:270:25:29

I think it's amazing.

0:25:290:25:31

Mum?

0:25:310:25:32

I'm speechless. It's totally amazing.

0:25:320:25:35

Shall we give her a round of applause?

0:25:350:25:37

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:25:370:25:40

This patch of garden has been transformed

0:25:400:25:42

into an amazing gingerbread house den,

0:25:420:25:45

where Carrie can chill out and work on her arts and crafts.

0:25:450:25:48

I think the wonkiness, like, really paid off.

0:25:480:25:50

I think it looks amazing.

0:25:500:25:52

-Proper wonk factor, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:25:520:25:54

Carrie wanted a grown-up, crooked gingerbread house

0:25:540:25:57

and that's exactly what she got.

0:25:570:26:00

The roof of the den is decked out in stylish shingles,

0:26:000:26:02

complete with Carrie's name across the top.

0:26:020:26:05

And there's even a gingerbread man door knocker, too.

0:26:050:26:08

I think my den is absolutely amazing.

0:26:080:26:11

I couldn't ask for it any better.

0:26:110:26:13

Oh, my... Oh, my gosh!

0:26:130:26:17

I love those lights.

0:26:170:26:19

That is amazing.

0:26:190:26:21

The surprises keep coming on the inside.

0:26:210:26:24

Carrie's den is decked out in cool orange lights,

0:26:240:26:27

and she's got an awesome desk

0:26:270:26:29

where she can craft away whenever she wants.

0:26:290:26:32

Her upcycled chair takes pride of place in the den,

0:26:320:26:35

and there's loads of inspirational quotes

0:26:350:26:37

to make this a positive space to hang out.

0:26:370:26:39

"No one is perfect - that's why pencils have rubbers."

0:26:390:26:43

-Pretty good that, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:26:430:26:45

Oh, there's me and Jess Glynne!

0:26:450:26:47

Oh, yeah. What about the other person?

0:26:470:26:50

THEY LAUGH

0:26:500:26:52

-"There's me and Jess Glynne."

-Yeah, she got it right.

0:26:520:26:54

I'm up there - there's no mention.

0:26:540:26:57

I think the den is absolutely fabulous,

0:26:570:27:00

because it's a celebration for her of everything that she wanted to say

0:27:000:27:03

about being yourself.

0:27:030:27:05

-So, how are you feeling, Carrie?

-I'm feeling absolutely amazing.

0:27:050:27:09

This den is, like, the best thing ever.

0:27:090:27:11

Oh, that's good news! We've done a good job, I think.

0:27:110:27:15

Carrie and the family love the den,

0:27:150:27:17

but does it get the Girl Guides' seal of approval?

0:27:170:27:20

-Whoa!

-Hello.

0:27:200:27:22

Oh, Carrie, this is well good.

0:27:220:27:24

I'm really happy for her because she deserves to have it,

0:27:290:27:31

because she's, like, a really nice friend and she's kind to everyone.

0:27:310:27:35

I'm so happy for you.

0:27:350:27:37

Part of this den has been about the positivity,

0:27:380:27:40

and Carrie's brought that to the project right the way through.

0:27:400:27:43

It's been a pleasure to design for her.

0:27:430:27:46

This den is going to mean everything to me.

0:27:460:27:49

It's going to mean the world to me.

0:27:490:27:50

Thank you to all the Dengineers crew.

0:27:500:27:52

You've worked so hard, and I'm just really thankful.

0:27:520:27:55

There's no doubt about it -

0:27:550:27:58

this gingerbread house has gone down a treat here in Leeds.

0:27:580:28:01

So there's only one more thing to do.

0:28:010:28:03

-ALL:

-This den is done!

0:28:030:28:06

THEY CHEER

0:28:060:28:08

Come on, yeah!
