0:00:05 > 0:00:07If you were, you missed all this.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08'Three months ago,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12'we launched a nationwide search to find a new Blue Peter
0:00:12 > 0:00:14'presenter to join Helen and Barney.'
0:00:14 > 0:00:18I think being a Blue Peter presenter is the best job in the world.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19'20,000 people
0:00:19 > 0:00:23'got in touch, and we selected the best ten to battle it out.'
0:00:23 > 0:00:26'Because being a Blue Peter presenter has demands like no
0:00:26 > 0:00:27'other job on TV.'
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Being strapped to the wings of a plane and flown at 2,000 feet
0:00:32 > 0:00:34at 160 miles an hour, upside down.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35'To find out if our ten had what
0:00:35 > 0:00:38'it takes, we put them through some gruelling challenges.'
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I bet you didn't think you'd signed up to this!
0:00:44 > 0:00:46'And tested their presenting skills to the max.'
0:00:46 > 0:00:48It is officially go time.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51- It's been horrible. - We made it together.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54From there, they faced our expert judges...
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Eamonn Holmes, Myleene Klass and Cel Spelman.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Let's have a look and see what we've got.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04'Four failed to shine and were sent home.'
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I'm really sorry. I'm afraid this is the end of your Blue Peter journey.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09I just really wanted this.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12'Leaving us with six.'

0:02:33 > 0:02:36I'll wear the fact that I'm here, I'm one of the six.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37I'm going to rule this!

0:03:43 > 0:03:45"Did I just get to do that?"
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Being adventurous, bold and brave are essential parts of being
0:03:48 > 0:03:51a Blue Peter presenter.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Here are Helen and Barney to tell you a little more about that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Let's talk about adventure.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57'That's the one word you'd use to sum Blue Peter up.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59'Since 1958, when it first aired...'
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Everybody has done something adventurous.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04'You don't always have to complete it, as long as you...'
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Get out there, have a go,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08tell the story and take the viewer with you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You never know what you're capable of
0:04:10 > 0:04:12till you really push yourself.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Feeling inspired by that? - BOTH: Yep.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Good.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Anyone a speed freak? ALL: Yes.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21This first challenge goes at 85 miles an hour.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Have you guessed it?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Your first challenge is The Big One Challenge.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33THEY CHEER
0:04:33 > 0:04:36This is also your first talent test.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38It's a long way up,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41but even further and faster down.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43You have to try and keep your calm,
0:04:43 > 0:04:44keep your cool,
0:04:44 > 0:04:46whilst presenting to this camera,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49which is attached to a glove. All right? Very simple.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50How do you all feel about that?
0:04:50 > 0:04:51- Excited.- Yeah, good.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Yeah?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Isaac, you look a bit... What's wrong?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55What's wrong?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I hate roller coasters, absolutely hate them.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00But I have to man up and do this.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Of all roller coasters for us to put him on,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- we're going to put you on this one. - Yeah, it is absolutely huge.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Right then, let's ride The Big One. - Come on!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13To impress the judges in this test
0:05:13 > 0:05:15the hopefuls must explain what they're seeing
0:05:15 > 0:05:18and how they're feeling, even if they're scared out of their wits.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24And clearly someone is looking scared out of their wits.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27First up is drama student Lindsey.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Last week she was criticised by the judges
0:05:30 > 0:05:32for her unconvincing storytelling skills.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35You told it, you didn't speak it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm annoyed about how I presented myself.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'd be annoyed if I was you, cos you're better than that.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Can she improve this week?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44So, Lindsey, you prepared?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I think so, yeah. I've got a structure, I've got a layout, yeah.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's your moment to shine.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Three, two, one, crank it up, Rodney!
0:05:55 > 0:06:00We are on one of the biggest roller coasters in the UK.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02There are the views, look at them.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You can see the whole of Blackpool from here.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I've got to say, my heart is beating through the roof,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10the last time I did this is when I was seven years old.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11We've almost reached the top
0:06:11 > 0:06:15and then the drop is going to happen. So, ready, everyone?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- THEY CHEER - Let's go for it!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22SHE SCREAMS
0:06:22 > 0:06:27That was one of the best experiences of my life.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Well done, guys! Whoo!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Oh, my goodness. Oh!
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Well, how was that?- That was amazing. That was so good.- Yeah?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- A few stumbles over words as I was going up, but...- Well done.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Come on, let's get you out of there.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49So, Lindsey's coasted that one, but how will our other hopefuls fair?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Hello, and welcome to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Farmer Freddie delivers some great facts about the ride.
0:06:56 > 0:07:02Approaching speeds of 85mph, this is The Big One.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04And remembers to get his emotions across.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08OK, I'm coming up to the drop and I'm a little bit scared now!
0:07:08 > 0:07:14- And with a job well done, he can sit back and enjoy the ride.- Oh, oh!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Oh, oh!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Next is Hettie, with a fascinating fact of her own.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Robbie Williams has done it. Do you know what? I've done it too.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- The Big One is very big indeed. - How was it?- Amazing.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I'm losing my voice, I was screaming that much.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Last week the judges criticised teacher Emma
0:07:32 > 0:07:34for cracking under the pressure.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- You panicked.- Yeah, absolutely. - You totally panicked.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42This week, can she keep her cool to keep her place?
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Now, as I inch my way to the top I should be able to show you the view.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49The view from here. And as I go down,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52you'll be able to see where I'm going.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56This is amazing! I'm really excited. I am loving this.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Whoo! That was awesome!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Up next, graduate Ben wants to show the judges
0:08:01 > 0:08:03he's taken their comments on board.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The judges said they wanted to see me be less happy,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08so that's what I'm going to give you today.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'm going to give you a bit of serious.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I promise I won't smile, or laugh,
0:08:12 > 0:08:16or wave my arms, or scream, the whole way round this roller coaster.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Can he ride it out with a straight face?
0:08:19 > 0:08:26It's all right. It's all right. No drama. Oh, I just smiled. Ah!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Ben has cracked! But I think the judges will let him off.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Oh, my days!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43The final hopeful to brave this towering talent test
0:08:43 > 0:08:45is media student Isaac.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50How much are you dreading this moment?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I don't think I've ever dreaded a moment more than this.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Honestly, there's no bigger fear.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59I tell you what, I don't want to make it worse,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02but it is really high. We've been on this loads. It is so high.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Don't say any more. Isaac, go for it, man.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09You'll be all right. Deep breaths, keep calm.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Last week he came under fire from the judges
0:09:15 > 0:09:18for falling short in his talent test.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- That was only 30 seconds long. - You failed the challenge.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28This week, can he push through his fears
0:09:28 > 0:09:30and keep talking for long enough
0:09:30 > 0:09:33to prove he's worthy of the best presenting job in the business?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Right, so, guys,
0:09:39 > 0:09:44what you're looking at now is a very terrified, scared Isaac Jones.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47This is my ultimate fear, my biggest, biggest fear.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51It's all about overcoming them terrors in your life.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Please, please, please, let me get through this. This is it, guys.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57This is literally it.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Isaac's held it together. But here comes the scary bit.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Wish...me...luck.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18This is not actually that bad.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Oh!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Right, I've been...
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Ah! No, no, no, no, no.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29HE SCREAMS
0:10:29 > 0:10:32No more, please! No.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39What just happened?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46At one point on it I thought I could start enjoying it
0:10:46 > 0:10:49because the hard bit's over, but that wasn't the case.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- You're not going on roller coasters again then?- 110% no. No way.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56SHE SCREAMS
0:10:56 > 0:10:59So, that's high speed tackled on the roller coaster.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Coming up, we find out if they have a real head for heights.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05My heart is beating, boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And they return to Judges HQ,
0:11:07 > 0:11:12where one of our six will find out their Blue Peter dream is over.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16We have found this a really difficult decision.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Now we know you have nerves of steel
0:11:22 > 0:11:25it's time to really put your adventurous side to the test.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Now, what do you think Blackpool's most famous for?- Tower.- Tower.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30The tower. Very good.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33If you have a look at the tower, about two-thirds of the way up
0:11:33 > 0:11:35you'll see there's loads of scaffolding.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36And the reason for that is
0:11:36 > 0:11:39they're just about to celebrate their 120th anniversary.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42So we want you to go to the top of that tower
0:11:42 > 0:11:43and help them paint it.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- ALL:- No!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Let's go and have a look.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54So, the next challenge has been set for our six hopefuls -
0:11:54 > 0:11:55or so they think.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Time for a talent test curveball.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Right, I'm going to give you some information now.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Listen to this information very carefully.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Blackpool Tower is 158 metres high.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Right.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11It was built in 1891,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14open to the public in 1894.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It's got a trademark colour of red.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20The reason for this is cos it was the only available colour
0:12:20 > 0:12:23that was protecting it from the elements at the time.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26That information is really important,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29because you're going to be using that in your talent tests
0:12:29 > 0:12:31later on at the top of the tower.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Did you get it all? THEY LAUGH
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Follow us straight onto the SkyWalk. - Aah!
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Come on.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Anyone for a little bounce? - I'd rather not!
0:12:47 > 0:12:50The worst bit so far was coming up that lift
0:12:50 > 0:12:52and seeing how high up we were.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I've got a dry mouth, I've got shaky, sweaty, clammy hands,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and my heart is beating, boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00We've got to deal with the height thing,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03with trying to reel back all this information. Absolutely crazy.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I don't think it's a case of forgetting the facts,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09it's more that I didn't listen and took in the scenery more.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11The second they started I thought, right, listen,
0:13:11 > 0:13:12just remember the key facts,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15because we are going to get one chance of this, and one only.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19First to brave the terrifying heights of the tower is Hettie.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Deep breath. And off you go, Hettie. - Really just enjoy it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26She must remember the facts
0:13:26 > 0:13:29and remember the advice from the judges last week.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Hettie, there's a lot of kung fu, ninja stuff going on here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Do you know how I feel at the end of that? Exhausted.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Can she tone it down to keep her Blue Peter dream alive?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Don't forget, the facts are about the height, the opening date
0:13:43 > 0:13:45and the colour of paint.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm here at Blackpool Tower.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51It's about 158 metres high.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Little bit higher than you might climb in, say, your average house.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58There's lots more to learn about this tower,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01because it's been around for a very long time.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06Blackpool Tower was actually built in the 1800s, it was opened in 1894,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09but as you can see, all around me, is a wonderful rustic red.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Blackpool Tower was painted red because it had to be,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14they had no other option.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15No other option?!
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Red paint was the only one that protected against the elements,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21not the only one available, Hettie!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Two out of three.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Not bad from Hettie, but with wind speeds picking up
0:14:27 > 0:14:30the remaining hopefuls must now take their turn.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34So, here I am, at the top of Blackpool Tower.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36And it is tall,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40it's actually exactly 158 metres tall.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Spot-on, Emma.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- It's 158 metres tall. - In the bag, Ben.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51158 metres above sea level.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Get in, Lindsey!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57We are 180 feet high.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Completely wrong, Isaac.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Blackpool Tower was first opened to the public in 1894.
0:15:05 > 0:15:071894.
0:15:07 > 0:15:091894.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12It was built in the late 1800s.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Now here comes that tricky paint fact.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17The reason the tower is painted red is because it was actually
0:15:17 > 0:15:19the only paint colour that was available at the time.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Not you as well!
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Not everything painted before 1890 was red, you know!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm going to get painting this now, and let's do this.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I'm excited, but proper scared.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34In 2013 we're going to try and keep it going and keep it fresh.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38My job today is to paint it, so let's have a go.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Not a great score for Isaac. Never mind, mate!
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Finally it's farmer Freddie,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46who thinks he's got a trump card up his sleeve.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I had a cheeky little ask of a couple of the attendants
0:15:49 > 0:15:51before we got into the lift about something
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and I've got a little extra fact.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56So, here we are, just shy of the top
0:15:56 > 0:15:59of the 158-metre tall Blackpool Tower.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02This iconic structure was finished in 1891
0:16:02 > 0:16:05and opened to the public three years later in 1894.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It's been a public observatory ever since,
0:16:08 > 0:16:09with the exception of the war,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12where the RAF used it as an observation point.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17The builders painted it this traditional red,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19which, at the time of building,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21was the cheapest and easiest to produce
0:16:21 > 0:16:24and made the best protection from the harsh sea winds coming in.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Finally, someone got the paint fact right! Full marks, Freddie.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31With the talent test over,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34our six help foreman Dave paint the tower grey.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Grey? You said red before.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Yes, I know, but grey's the undercoat before the red.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- You just take your time. Just paint this bit on here.- Just here?- Yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47The more windy it gets, the more my nerves are coming back to me.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51So, that's challenge two over. I think they've covered everything.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Loved it. Spot-on.- Job done.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Ah, you'd like to think so, wouldn't you, Freddie?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02There's no rest for our adventurous hopefuls,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04it's time for their final challenge of the day.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Our six must take inspiration from the seaside
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and come up with something fun and entertaining
0:17:11 > 0:17:13to present to the camera.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14I've got to get cracking.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16The sea's fast-approaching in that direction.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18If they want a place in next week's show,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20it's their last chance to impress.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22That's it, that's it!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, after getting their creative juices flowing,
0:17:25 > 0:17:26the cameras are rolling.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Today the fun I'm after is a little swim.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Now, I've hidden a surprise present somewhere in these letters.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I am here with Joseph and Sammy and I'll be asking him one question.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Part of being a Blue Peter presenter
0:17:40 > 0:17:42is liking sweeties and having a bit of fun.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Are you ready for a swim?- Yeah! - Let's go for a swim.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48# Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside... #
0:17:48 > 0:17:50One, two, three, go, go, go!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Who are the current presenters of Blue Peter?- Helen and Barney.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57But whose talent test will make a splash with the judges?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Oh, it's really cold, I'm not going for that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And whose will leave them out in the cold?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Hello? Never mind.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09That's it from Blackpool, and what a day it's been.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11We've just got to go and find a donkey to sit on.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Our six hopefuls have really pushed themselves to the limit,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17but will they have done enough to impress the judges?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Their final adventure will be at Judges HQ.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Judges HQ, where our six hopefuls
0:18:28 > 0:18:31must again face the three expert judges.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Veteran broadcaster Eamonn Holmes,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36TV and radio presenter Myleene Klass,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and CBBC's Cel Spellman.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42OK, let's see how everyone has progressed.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Each week they will watch the hopefuls' talent tests
0:18:46 > 0:18:48and decide who stays and who goes,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51until, ultimately, three will remain
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and then the power to choose the next Blue Peter presenter
0:18:54 > 0:18:56will pass to you.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58'I absolutely love roller coasters.'
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Elimination day. Are you feeling the pressure?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I want it, so, you know, I'm going to do my best.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08You know, the more I do, the more I want to go all the way.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09He just lost his way, and I think
0:19:09 > 0:19:13if you are just delivering facts they can be so boring.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15This warrior outfit is because you're fighting on,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- you're charging forwards?- Absolutely.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Myleene actually said, "Be a warrior."
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- So you've taken the judges' comments to another level.- Oh, yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26'The hopefuls are getting serious.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29'The pressure's getting to the judges too.'
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Blandness.- You have to give her a critique though.- Bland.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34She's not bland, she got better towards the end.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- So, what's she not doing?- There's no oomph, there's no spark.- That's it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Are you agreeing with me? - I just said all that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46How are you getting on with the group? There's only one job.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48We're all here because we want that job
0:19:48 > 0:19:50and I think I want it more than anyone,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52so you have to do what you have to do.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- We've done all we can here, shall we get them in?- Let's get them in.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03The judges have finished viewing all of your talent tests now.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Freddie, lead the way.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09The six hopefuls know that only one of them will wear the badge
0:20:09 > 0:20:13and fulfil their dream of becoming the next Blue Peter presenter.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Guys, hello again. Good to see you. Welcome back to Judges HQ.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21I have to tell you that one of you will leave today
0:20:21 > 0:20:24and five will survive.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Ben, will you please step forward?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32The judges waste no time in giving their comments to the hopefuls.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36The judges said they wanted to see me be less happy,
0:20:36 > 0:20:40so that's what I'm going to give you today. It's all right. No drama.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Oh, I just smiled!
0:20:45 > 0:20:48This iconic structure was finished in 1891,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50it's been a public observatory ever since.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52With the exception of the war,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54where the RAF used it as an observation point.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Last time, Freddie was almost eliminated
0:20:57 > 0:21:00because his performance was over the top.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Where was the excitable Freddie,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06the slightly madcap Freddie?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09He wasn't there.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12And that's very good news.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It was so fluid and that is what the viewers need.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I can see that going on Blue Peter tomorrow.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Ben's cheery presenting style was too much for Eamonn last week.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23And this week?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I thought you were very controlled,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27you know when to use the smile and when not to,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31and I thought that was a very impressive delivery to camera.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Thank you.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Next up - Isaac, who forgot his facts in talent test two.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Can the judges forgive him?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43This was built in the late 1800s,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45so, as you can see, it is pretty old
0:21:45 > 0:21:48and my job today is to paint it, so let's have a go.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54This is two tests now where either the time has gone out the window
0:21:54 > 0:21:56or the facts have gone out the window.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01The thing is, Isaac, you are a natural performer,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04but you can't apply yourself to the homework.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Ultimately, if you can't do what you're being asked to do,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09no-one's going to want you.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15For the next two hopefuls there were good and bad comments.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19# Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside... #
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- ALL: Yay! - Fantastic.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Do you think that's it? Everyone, jump in.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Mmm. That's really good, isn't it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Eamonn thought Lindsey needed to suck it and see.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36You had decided you were going to say
0:22:36 > 0:22:38that candyfloss tasted nice
0:22:38 > 0:22:41even though you were sucking the stick at the end.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It could've been, "Guys, you could've saved me some!"
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- It could've been reacting to your circumstance.- If it had been real.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50But it was very engaging, very nice to watch.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51OK, thank you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Last week, Myleene wanted Emma to use her teaching skills
0:22:55 > 0:22:57to connect with the kids. Did she crack it with her choir?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I thought you executed that brilliantly,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02so you really did listen to what we said last week.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06One thing I want you to really watch now is the waffle factor.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10And finally, warrior Hettie,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13who attacked her talent test too hard last time.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18OK, we've got Joshua over here, Tom. Looks like... Oh, we have a winner.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20That's it. Goodbye and see you soon.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23First things first. Can you explain this?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25This is relevant because I'm a warrior,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28which is something that you all told me last time.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- What did you think of your talent test?- A bit manic.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Again, it just seemed like an attack, it was just so...
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Just even if you're slowing it down would have helped there.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I think I go at so much faster than a lot of people,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43it might just take time.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46The way you're communicating with us here isn't what's on screen.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49And ultimately, the viewers, they just want to know Hettie.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Please can you rejoin the group.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54So, guys, that's it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57But as you do know, one of you will be leaving us today.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00We've got to come up with this final decision.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Thank you, guys.- Good luck.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07Decision time for the judges. One hopeful has to go.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09How did you feel about all those comments? You happy?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Yeah, kind of blown away by it, really.- I feel a bit deflated.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Me too.- Last week they said I didn't hit the allotted time slot.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20This week I did, but I need to get the facts across.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- I couldn't quite do it. - I guess now is the waiting game.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28He's got better. She's got better.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Do you know, I think she listened to the advice.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34She just went about it the whole wrong way.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Not sure here.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41He's really improved from last week,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- but now I feel he's playing catch-up.- I am with Myleene.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Agreed?- Yep.- Agreed.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Let's get them back in.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54They're going in.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Shall we go and put a glass up to the door?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Very soon one of them will be coming out...
0:25:03 > 0:25:04unhappy.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Guys, thank you very much indeed.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13As you know, we will say goodbye to one of you today.
0:25:13 > 0:25:20Five of you will remain. It's been a very, very difficult process for us.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Could you please all step forward?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Three of you definitely upped your game from last week.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39You took on board our comments, you embraced a sense of adventure,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and that shone through in your talent tests.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50Freddie, you have shown why we were right to take a chance on you.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52You've made it through to next week, well done.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Thank you.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Ben.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05And, Emma.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You've also made it through to next week. Well done.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18So, three of you remain, but only two of you can make it through.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22One of you did manage to show that little spark,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26that extra difference that we've been looking for.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35Lindsey, well done, you can go and join the group.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50That leaves two of you,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and just one place.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Hettie and Isaac.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07We have found this a really difficult decision.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13But we feel one of you
0:27:13 > 0:27:19is a slightly better performer than the other.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20Hettie...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25..that is not you.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- I am very sorry. - Thank you for this opportunity.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Goodbye.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Isaac, by the skin of your teeth,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46you are still here.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51- Don't let us down.- I definitely won't. Thank you very much.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Of course I wish I could've been the next Blue Peter presenter,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56I wouldn't be here even slightly if that wasn't the case.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59But the guys that are there are fantastic,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and one of them is going to make a phenomenal presenter.
0:28:01 > 0:28:07Ben, Emma, Lindsey and Freddie,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09congratulations to you all.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Any one of you could still be the new Blue Peter presenter.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15THEY LAUGH
0:28:20 > 0:28:23It's getting more full-on by the minute. Hettie's got the chop.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27It certainly is, but things are really going to start to hot up now,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30because they're going to be faced with all of this next week.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34'The remaining five take on their biggest challenge yet.'
0:28:34 > 0:28:37We're going to try and break a world record.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39'Will they succeed?'
0:28:39 > 0:28:41He doesn't look like a pineapple. That could be a problem.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44'And who will be sent home?'
0:28:44 > 0:28:47This week has been really tough for us, but we have made a decision.
