It's all ruined! It's all ruined!

You want a big opening. I'll show you a big opening.

Grab this and follow my lead.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your hosts,

live from NewcastleGateshead,

they're talented, they're amazing,

and they wrote every word of this script,

it's Sam and Mark!

-Yes!

-Come on, then!

-Come on, then!

Love it. Love it. Yes! Look at all these people!

It's amazing. Oh, yes, come on!

Yes. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Come on.

Welcome to the weekend!

-I'm Sam.

-I'm Mark.

-Welcome to Sam and Mark's Geordie Challenge.

-Yeah.

Have we got a rip snorter of a show for you today?!

Guys, do you like surprises?

Do you like music and celebrities?

You've come to the right place.

Yes, you have, because for the next hour,

we have taken over Baltic Square right here in NewcastleGateshead

for a one-off live CBBC spectacular extravaganza bonanza.

In fact, there's so much crammed into today's show

that we have made headline news.

We need to go over to Bob and Felicity in the DNN studio

to see what's coming up.

Thanks Sam and Mark. I'm the North East-loving Felicity Bond.

-And I'm Bob Roberts.

-Breaking news.

NewcastleGateshead, Sam and Mark's Geordie Challenge

is where it's at right now.

-Why, aye.

-Why what?

Coming up, performances from...

..The Vamps.

The amazing 5 Seconds Of Summer.

A dancing apricot.

That's not going to happen.

Lauren and Miles "Whoops I've Missed The Bus" have a special

live in NewcastleGateshead vlog.

They miss the bus every week. Newsflash, you two -

get an alarm clock.

Loads of talent will be dropping in to take part in devilish challenges.

-In your face.

-No, Bob, in your face!

There'll also be some exclusive weather reports from our very own

Davina Wave.

It's great to be home, man, Howay the Toon!

Yes, it's going to be a humdinger of a show.

Sit back, get comfortable and prepare to be entertained

by Sam and Mark.

Wifi the lads.

Nearly, Bob.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Seriously though, how good does this show sound?

We've got musical performances from 5 Seconds Of Summer,

The Vamps,

and, you are going to love this one, guys,

we have got a live performance from the beautiful Ashley Roberts!

On this stage!

And on top of all of that, we've got loads of CBBC stars on this stage.

-Mark, is that audience excited?

-Are the audience excited?

Oh, tell you who is excited.

The two Nathans here. How you doing, lads, you all right?

-Great.

-Who are you looking forward to?

-Ashley Roberts.

-Ashley Roberts by far.

-Ashley Roberts by far!

Like you, Sam. Yeah, lads!

I tell you something, it's going to be absolutely a fantastic show.

Make sure you keep watching. Loads of musical performances...

DOOR BELL RINGS

I did say we were expecting guests but not this early.

Who could this possibly be?

Hello, NewcastleGateshead.

It's the Dare Devil!

Hold on. Wait...

Hi, Dare Devil, I'm pretty sure he wasn't meant to be

-on the celeb guest list.

-Wait a minute.

I've got the celeb guest list here and I can tell you for a fact,

you are not on it, DD.

I'll tell you why I'm here,

I'm here to add a little spice to the proceedings, oh, yes.

Music performances and CBBC's special guests are very exciting,

but I don't think they're what the public really want to see.

-All right, what do the public really want to see?

-I'll tell you.

I think they want to see, in a head-to-head battle,

who would come out on top, Sam or Mark?

CHEERING

-Dare Devil, listen...

-You are being naive.

Let's just forget all that.

I think it's clear to see that it's Team Sam that would win this,

-let's not bother doing it.

-Huh?

Team Sam would win that so there's no point.

Cool your jets, Mr Nixon,

I think it's plain for everybody to see that Team Mark would walk it.

Isn't that right, audience?

CHEERING

Interesting.

Let's find out. I have devised

four devilish challenges to put Team Sam and Team Mark

to the test. In each challenge, I will reveal two CBBC celebs

who will go head-to-head against each other.

Once each of your teams has gathered four team members,

you will undertake the devilish ultimate end challenge!

Also devised by yours truly.

-Sound good?

-I don't know about this.

It sounds like too much of a surprise to me.

-I'm up for the challenge.

-You are?

-Yes.

-Excellent. Let's ramp up the tension.

Sam and Mark. Best friends.

Brothers. Inseparable. Until now!

In a battle for greatness, who would be triumphant,

who would come out on top?

And whose team are you on?

-Good luck.

-Come on, Sam.

Definitely Team Mark.

-Team Sam.

-Team Sam.

-Team Mark for me.

-Go, Mark!

There can be only one winner.

Let battle commence.

So, there you have it.

The Dare Devil has decided that once and for all

we are going to find out who's best - Team Sam or Team Mark.

Four pairs of CBBC celebs will battle it out

-to see which team they want to be on.

-Then at the end of the show

they'll go head-to-head in the ultimate end of show challenge.

But before we get to that, let's get this NewcastleGateshead party

off with a bang, with a band that is literally taking the world by storm.

We are so excited they are on the show, it's 5 Seconds Of Summer.

# You are like perfection

# Some kind of holiday

# You've got me thinking that we can run away

# You want I'll take you there

# You tell me when and where

# But then I asked for your number

# Said you don't have a phone

# It's getting late now

# I've got to let you know

# That everybody wants to take you home tonight

# But I'm going to find a way to make you mine

# Don't stop doing what you're doing

# Every time you move to the beat

# It gets harder for me

# And you know it, know it, know it

# Don't stop

# Cos you know that I like it

# Every time you walk in the room

# You got all eyes on you

# And you know it, know it, know it

# You come in close now

# Swear I can taste it

# You've got me tongue tied

# I can't escape it

# I'm loving what you got

# But then you push me off

# Cos everybody wants to take you home tonight

# But I'm going to find a way to make you mine

# Don't stop

# Doing what you're doing

# Cos every time you move to the beat

# It gets harder for me

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-That is amazing!

-Fantastic song there from 5 Seconds Of Summer.

Did you enjoy that, guys?

-Of course you did.

-CHEERING

And there'll be more 5 Seconds Of Summer later on.

And I've got to say, they're definitely Team Mark, aren't they?

No! Look at them! They look like me - Team Sam all the way!

-DOOR BELL RINGS

-Yeah, about 20 years ago, mate!

That's enough squabbling, you two.

Our first guests have arrived!

It's Johnny and Inel, everyone!

CHEERING

Johnny and Inel. It is lovely to have you on the show.

-You all right, lads?

-Absolutely fine.

-Yeah, we're great.

-How are you doing, Gateshead?

-CHEERING

Lads, are you ready for our first challenge of the show?

-Oh, yeah, more than ready.

-Good.

Don't forget, whoever wins this challenge

will get to choose which team they want to be on -

Team Sam or Team Mark.

-You both look beautiful by the way.

-Yeah, have you been working out?

-Well, you know...

-I've got to say, DD,

it's got to be some kind of comedy-based challenge

-for these guys, hasn't it?

-That's exactly where you're wrong, Mark.

No, no. Johnny and Inel

will take part in a challenge called Are You Scareder?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Are you talking about the Are You Scareder that we used to play on TMi,

where we blindfold them

and then put something really scary right in their face

to see who can hold their nerve the longest?!

The very same! All right, my work here is done - for now.

-Bye.

-See you, Dare Devil.

Lads, Take a seat. You know when you said "we" used to do this show?

-Sorry, we didn't used to play Are You Scareder?

-No.

-You used to play every week.

-I did, because I'm the mug.

OK, well, any advice for the lads?

-How are you feeling, lads?

-I'm now terrified.

I thought we were going to do something...

-I'd run if I were you.

-No! We need you.

We need you for the show.

Lads, let me explain how Are You Scareder works.

-You will both be holding a Stick Of Fear.

-What, like this?

On top of that will be balanced the Egg Of Destiny.

-The one that looks like this?

-Exactly, the very same.

-We will put the Blindfold Of Darkness on to your eyes.

-Looks like this.

And then something very scary will happen.

The aim of the game is to keep your Egg Of Destiny on your Stick Of Fear.

Whoever drops it will lose the challenge.

If you can keep your Egg Of Destiny on your Stick Of Fear,

you will win the challenge. Capisce?

-That's capisce. Yeah, we get it.

-Yeah.

All right, OK. So we've got our contestants.

All we need now are our scary challenges.

DOORBELL RINGS Nice timing. Right on cue.

It's like it was meant to happen or something.

Who could it be? It's Naomi Wilkinson, everyone!

-Did someone mention scary challenges?

-We did.

-How are you?

-I'm feeling much better than these two, I imagine.

Bless you, lads. OK, so we've got our contestants,

we've got Naomi and the scary challenges.

It's now time for round one.

OK, lads, you've both got your Blindfold Of Darkness on your heads.

-Yep.

-You are holding your Stick Of Fear.

Look at 'em - they're shaking already!

This is not a good sign, lads.

Naomi, could you please bring in the first challenge.

OK, audience, from now on - silence.

This is a very, very scary challenge.

Mark is now about to place the Egg Of Destiny onto your Stick Of Fear.

-Inel, you're going first there.

-All right.

-Steady.

-As a rock.

-Nice and sturdy.

-Johnny, yours is coming up next. All right.

-That's impressive.

-You got that?

-Got it.

-Waiting.

-What could possibly go wrong?

-Could be off air in a minute.

-Live telly! There you go.

Naomi, reveal the challenge in three, two, one...

LAUGHTER

I'm not liking the sound of that.

What's that sound?

Argh!

Tremendous!

ALL: Argh!

-Johnny dropped it.

-He's dropped it!

-It was a delayed reaction.

-What happened, what happened?

It was a delayed challenge.

-NAOMI:

-It was a balloon.

-Ah!

-Well, if you didn't think it was live before, you do now, eh?

All right! SAM LAUGHS

Look at his face!

Inel, congratulations, you kept your Egg Of Destiny.

What can I say?

So, it's 1-0...

It's time for round number two!

All right.

Right, I'm going to win this one.

Right, lads, for this one, round two,

you're actually going to take it in turns.

So, Inel, you can remove your blindfold. Cos Johnny is going first.

-You can laugh at him while he's doing it.

-Exactly.

OK, Naomi, could you please now bring in Johnny's second challenge.

Ooh. Interesting.

OK, now...

You just hold that up to the camera there

and show everybody what it is.

AUDIENCE SCREAMS

That is not cool, man.

OK, now, Johnny, Mark will now place

the Egg Of Destiny on to your Stick Of Fear.

OK. This is not cool.

OK. Best of luck, mate. You're going to need it.

Johnny, could you please hold out your right arm,

palm facing up. And your challenge is about to...

be on your hand!

Do not move!

-OK.

-Do it now, now, now!

Urgh. Urgh!

-Whoo! Nerves of steel, nerves of steel.

-He's done it!

-Congratulations, take your blindfold off. Look what it is.

-Yeah.

It's only a fake spider. But, Johnny, there's the real one!

THEY LAUGH

-OK. It's 1-1.

-Thank you to our animal lady.

OK, Inel, could you please put your blindfold down?

You get to laugh at Inel now.

OK. This is to win now, Inel. I've got every faith in you.

Naomi, could you bring in Inel's second challenge, please?

-Ho!

-Oh...

-Oh, no.

-I'm about to place the Egg Of Destiny on the Stick Of Fear.

Inel, could you please hold up your left hand, palm facing up.

Here comes your challenge.

Argh!

Argh!

Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!

He's done it! He's done it!

Congratulations. Inel, it's a snake.

Well done. That means that Inel is the winner!

Well done.

Inel, that means that you now get to choose

which team you want to be on - Team Sam or Team Mark?

-Who's it going to be, mate?

-I'm going to choose...

AUDIENCE SHOUTS PREFERENCE

Mark!

-Yay!

-CHEERING

Inel, sir. Cheers, mate.

Johnny, you're on my team. I wanted you on my team anyway.

This is amazing. OK, Chris, let's go up to you.

Which team would you be on, mate?

Well, me personally, I think both of them were incredibly brave.

I know Dodge has got some ideas.

-I'll be on Sam's team.

-Why?

Cos he got a lovely hair cut - we go to the same hairdresser's.

-Yeah. And I'll be on Mark's team.

-Why?

-Because we're both from Wigan.

-That's not...

-That's not true.

No. Ladies and gentlemen,

NewcastleGateshead have just witnessed a feat of bravery,

but, you guys at home, we want to know, which team are you on?

Normally we'd have a big flash graphic of fun on the screen

to tell you where to send your e-mails,

but today I've just got this on a piece of card!

[email protected]

Tell us which team you would be on and why.

We'll read out some of your e-mails in a bit,

but right now, it's over to Bob and Felicity in DNN studio.

What did you guys think of the challenge?

-Thanks, Chris.

-Oh, that challenge was creepy.

But for what it's worth, I think Team Sam are in pole position.

Oh, I disagree, it's Team Mark all the way for me.

Oh, big deal!

I've got a banner too, Felicity.

And mine is multipurpose.

That is so gross, Bob.

Anyway, it's now time to go over to Davina Wave and Map

for a special weather report.

Go, Team Mappy!

Davina, what's the weather looking like for the rest of the show?

Howay the lads!

It makes a refreshing change for me and the map here

to be back in the homeland!

And to make a change from the weather, too,

we're going to go all cul'ural

and we're going to have a look

at some of the most beautiful landmarks around the UK.

And why not kick things off right here

in my very own Newcastle and Gateshead!

Starting with the fantastic...

Tyne Bridge!

The best bridge in the world!

It's like a gigantic, metal...pasty!

Howay!

Now, when you think about beautiful landmarks

in, oh, I don't know, Cardiff, Wales,

you might think of the best sports stadium in the world.

And, well, you'd be wrong,

because that's also here in Newcastle!

Yes!

St James' Park!

Home to the Toon, Toon, black-and-white army!

Ho! So, moving over to Northern Ireland,

and let's have a think

about some of the beautiful landmarks there. Anyone?

Anyone?

No? And the reason you cannot think of any

is because nothing compares to the amazing...

Angel Of The North!

Just look at her standing there!

She's like a half-human, half-plane,

great big, brown, flappy, X-Man man!

Howay!

That's all from me and the map here, isn't it, Map?

So, back to you, Bob and Flicky.

Howay!

A fascinating insight into beautiful UK landmarks

from our very own Davina Wave.

And monumental Mappy.

Sam and Mark, it's over to you. Go, Team Mark!

Ah, yes, I used my banner during Davina's report.

So...

Urgh!

CHEERING

It's great having Bob support me. I think.

Well, as you can see, we're hanging out backstage,

at Sam and Mark's Geordie tourer, our caravan, so to speak,

and we are about to meet a global superstar.

It's the lovely Ashley Roberts!

-Come on!

-Hi, how are you?

Very good. All the better for seeing you.

Now, Ashley Roberts, you do everything -

you sing, you dance, you write songs,

you came second in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

You're a judge on Dancing On Ice.

-Anything you can't do?

-Cook.

-I'll teach you.

-I'm horrible at cooking.

I've got NVQ Level 1 in Catering And Hospitality.

I wonder how long it would take for you to get that in!

I have no idea what that is.

Neither do I!

But the main question we're all dying to know is,

if you had to choose a team - Team Sam or Mark -

whose team would you choose?

I did decorate this caravan, that's all I'm saying.

You might find that a little bit weird, so...

Yeah, I'm going to say it actually is a little bit creepy,

-so I think I'm going to go with Sam.

-Yes!

-Yeah. Yeah.

-Awesome.

BOTH: Yay!

Seriously, Ashley, thank you ever so much for being on the show.

Thanks for coming to NewcastleGateshead.

-Have you been here before?

-I have been here before, yes.

I dressed up as Maggie the Magpie one time.

On Takeaway, with the boys.

-Amazing.

-So, I've been here.

-Great. Like it round here?

-I like it, the people are nice.

-They are, they're beautiful people.

-You live in the UK now,

-you live in London, don't you?

-Yeah, I live in London.

So, what are the differences between living in London

-and where you used to live - Ameri-cah?

-Ameri-cah!

Well, the obvious - the weather.

We have a few more sunny days than you guys there.

But also the tea, which I've really gotten into.

Waking up, having my tea, feeling fresh, feeling fabulous.

-How do you have your tea?

-I have it in bet...

-Strong?

-Nicely strong.

-Nicely strong.

In-between, not too dark, not too light.

-Any sugar?

-Just a smidge. I actually do honey.

Ooh, I like that.

There's a little tip from Ashley Roberts

I didn't think I was going to get today.

Tell us about the album.

My single's out now, Clockwork.

Out on iTunes, you can get it now,

and the album will be out late summer.

Excellent. It's really exciting.

How different is it... Because you were in

one of the biggest girl bands of all time, the Pussycat Dolls,

-now you're doing it on your own, what's the difference?

-It's scary.

I don't have all my girls next to me.

I'm excited as well. A little of everything - nervous, excited.

But everything's happening right now,

I'm so grateful for all the stuff going on in my life.

I'm excited to be here and perform for the kids.

You're going to be performing very, very shortly, aren't you?

-Yes.

-Can't wait for that.

-I'm excited, guys.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you for having me.

And I don't hold that against you at all, that you didn't pick me.

OK. He will, he will.

Anyway! Ashley, have you ever wondered

-how a show like this gets put together?

-Yes, every day.

I know you do, I know you do!

Well, here is Lauren and Myles

to tell us how it is put together.

BOTH: Hello, everybody, and welcome to Live at NewcastleGateshead!

There's nobody here, is there?

Do you think they can edit in a crowd?

Just going, "Way!"

We've got these, which means we can go absolutely anywhere -

-it says AAA, which means...

-"Andy's Amazing Apples".

No. "Access All Areas".

Access all areas. Both make sense.

So, we thought, we're go to go and try to meet some stars.

We are literally going behind the scenes.

That's the scenes, and we are behind it.

Oh, sorry...

Oh, we've got a door there. Where does that go?

Toilet, that.

Hi! We are 5 Seconds Of Summer and we are in NewcastleGateshead.

It's Chris Johnson.

-Jonny and I now. It's Barney Harwood.

-Hi.

I am outside the sports tent. Let's go inside and see how sporty I am.

"Can you beat an Olympic gold medal cyclist?" Definitely not.

It's got a dance tent!

-What's happened here?

-Where's Radzi's face gone?

I don't know. How's that happened?

-No face.

-No face.

-BOTH: No face.

I've got a face.

For every celebrity I find, I want to take the ugliest selfie with.

CONTINUOUS SHUTTER CLICKS

So, that's behind-the-scenes at NewcastleGateshead.

Hope you enjoyed it.

-Have we got to give these back now?

-Leg it!

CHEERING

-I liked their run off at the end.

-Like it.

Good run off. Excellent. You can catch more from Lauren and Myles from

Whoops I've Missed The Bus on Saturday morning at 11.30.

What is he doing here again?

-What is happening here?

-Oh, it's time for our next challenge.

And, do you know,

I think our next victims should be arriving around about...

DOOR BELL RINGS

..now!

It's Louisa and Kedar from Wolfblood.

Wow! Hello, guys.

Hello! Hello, hello, hello.

-How are you doing? All right?

-Good, yeah.

-How are you?

Very well, thank you for asking.

-Are you ready for a challenge?

-Yes.

-Always.

-Excellent.

So, Dare Devil, I'm guessing this is some sort of acting

Wolfblood-type of challenge?

Wrong again, will the next challenge please reveal yourself?

It's Ben Shires, everyone!

CHEERING

Yes!

Hello, hello, 'tis I, Ben Shires, from Officially Amazing

and I'm here to bring some world record attempts to the party.

Let's hear it!

Bye, Dare Devil. Bye.

Ben, which record are Louisa and Kedar attempting today?

Well, Mark, I'm surprised you have to ask,

bearing in mind what I'm holding,

but today, it's the infamous and one of my very favourite records -

most skips in a minute wearing swim fins.

So, Louisa and Kedar, you put these on.

Last year, Mark, live in Leeds, you actually broke this record.

You got 63 skips live on stage.

You're a former world record holder.

I'm a former... A FORMER world record holder?!

Yes, a former world record holder.

-It's been beaten twice since then.

-What?!

It's now at 88 which is delightful news, isn't it?

-88 in 60 seconds?!

-That has made my day. Thank you ever so much.

Hasn't it? Hasn't it? >

Louisa and Kedar, whoever wins this challenge will get to choose

which team they want to be on - Team Sam or Team Mark.

-How are you feeling about it?

-Feeling good.

-Nervous.

-Don't be nervous.

-Don't be nervous. It's excitement.

This is good, a good atmosphere.

Time to make this official, so let's welcome to the stage

Anna and Mark, the Guinness World Records adjudicators.

THEY WHOOP AND CHEER

-Hello.

-OK, so the rules are deceptively simple, guys.

All you need to do is keep skipping in those flippers for 60 seconds.

If you beat 88, that's brilliant.

Let's face it, we just want you to beat Mark's 63 really!

Oh, ho-ho!

Audience, I think they'll need lots of vocal support.

So, warm your lungs as we start to have some flipping fun!

-OK, guys, are you ready?

-I'm ready.

In three, two, one... Skip!

It's a good start. Oh, no, we've got a mic down.

-Keep going.

-Keep going?

He's in. We're back on, we're back on.

Oh, no, we are having a nightmare. It's all gone wrong!

-We're having a nightmare!

-Oh!

It's live telly! Come on, Kedar! Keep skipping. Keep skipping!

Keep going!

Yeah, that's it, audience, give them support. Look at him go!

-Come on, 20 seconds left. Come on!

-Come on, Keeds!

-You can do this.

Come on!

Come on! Come on, Louisa!

-Go, Kedar!

-Keep going. Keep going.

ALL: Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...

Stop skipping!

-Wow.

-Oh, mate.

-Are you all right?

-Oh, I'm so gutted for you.

I'm so, so gutted for you.

How was that, other than the fact

-that your mic fell out about three seconds into it?

-That was hard.

You haven't even broke an sweat. OK, let's find out the results.

Adjudicators, could you please tell us how many skips Louisa did?

Louisa, it was a good effort, and you managed 32 skips in one minute.

Yeah!

Round of applause, very, very good effort.

OK, let's find out... Poor Kedar, sorry, mate.

OK, let's find out how many you did?

He achieved 53.

Wow, that is amazing! You're the winner.

But they haven't got a world record.

No world record today, I'm sorry.

Mate, you probably would have got about 50 more!

But I still have the best for CBBC!

So, Kedar, you are the winner of that challenge.

You now get to choose which team you want to be on.

Team Sam or Team Mark, who's it going to be?

THE AUDIENCE SHOUT OUT

Hmm?

Team Mark!

Yes! Kedar, my man!

I didn't want anybody to pick me anyway, so it's all right,

don't worry about it. Louisa, that means you are on my team.

-Excellent.

-Fantastic!

-Love that.

OK, Chris, how do you think these teams are shaping up so far, mate?

I've got to say, perfect skipping, ladies and gentlemen!

That was wonderful. Well done!

And you guys at home have been taking sides

in the battle of Team Sam and Team Mark.

This e-mail from Ava. Are you ready for this?

She says, "Team Mark because he's just the best!"

-No, Sam's the best.

-Mark's the best,

-my local Wigan chum.

-He's not from Wigan.

Divine says, "Team Sam, because he's handsome and funny."

-Sorry, Mark.

-I agree wholeheartedly.

-Mark's taller.

-"Team Sam because he's epic."

-Yeah.

-He is a bit epic.

-Sadie says, "Team Mark all the way."

-All the way to Wigan, Cocker.

-He's not from Wigan.

-Neither of them come from Wigan!

Guys at home, tell us whose team would you be on and why?

CBBC at [email protected]

We need to know, guys.

Time now, while you are e-mailing in, for a special musical performance!

-Ooh!

-Ooh!

Thank you very, very much.

We are going to be talking to

the 5 Seconds Of Summer lads very, very shortly.

-So, stay tuned.

-We are indeed.

We'll have a musical performance from The Vamps. Very exciting!

And...and, I'm pretty sure that

-the Dare Devil has some more challenges for us.

-Probably.

But first, NewcastleGateshead, go wild for the lovely,

the wonderful, Miss Ashley Roberts.

WHOOPING AND CHEERING

Thank you.

MUSIC: "Clockwork"

-Are you having fun? AUDIENCE:

-Yeah!

# I walked across town just to show you I care

# An old familiar place but your face isn't there

# I didn't want to call since you crossed all the wires

# But you know I don't mind that you're taking your time

# It's in my head, it's in my heart

# It's ticking over like clockwork

# It's in my head, it's in my heart

# And it won't stop it's like clockwork

# I love how you survive when you're losing the fight

# There's no need, no regrets We don't play to rewind!

# But we're still standing when we're standing still

# And you know that I don't mind when we got time to kill

# It's in my head, it's in my heart

# It's ticking over like clockwork

# It's in my head, it's in my heart

# And it won't stop it's like clockwork

# Oh, oh, I don't want to fight it

# Oh, oh you know that it's in my head

# It's in my heart It's ticking over like clockwork

# In my head

# And you know it's taking over

# In my head

# In my heart

# It's in my head, it's in my heart

# It's ticking over like clockwork

# It's in my head, it's in my heart

# And it won't stop it's like clockwork

# Oh, oh, I don't want to fight it

# Oh, oh, you know that it's

# In my head, it's in my heart

# It is a ticking over like clockwork

# It's in my head, it's in my heart

# And it won't stop it's like clockwork. #

CHEERING

Thank you! I love you!

Breaking news, the competition's hotting up. Team Sam has the edge.

More breaking news,

I'd say it's Team Mark that's set to triumph in NewcastleGateshead.

Hang on, Flicky,

this NewcastleGateshead thing, which one is it?

-Which one is what?

-Is it Newcastle or Gateshead?

-It's both.

-A very greedy woman.

-Still to come on Sam and Mark's Geordie Challenge.

The Vamps perform.

The Dare Devil's back to challenge more unsuspecting CBBC presenters.

And we find out once and for all, which team is better.

-Team Sam?

-Or Team Mark.

Go, Team Mark! Whoo!

Yeah, well, please, Felicity,

show a little dignity.

There's only one winner. Find out, Sam and Mark.

It's over to you!

Do you know what, Mark, I'm beginning to think having Bob on my side

is a serious disadvantage.

I tend to agree, Sam.

Don't worry though because we are here with the lads,

-of 5 Seconds Of Summer.

-Yeah!

Lads, wahey!

Lads, it's lovely to have you here.

Thanks for the performance earlier. Awesome.

We are having a great time.

Are you enjoying yourselves being in NewcastleGateshead?

-Enjoying the lovely weather.

-Sorry about the weather.

-Very British of us to talk about the weather straightaway.

-It is.

You are learning! Do you know what a Geordie is?

Isn't it from a show here.

I'll tell you what a Geordie is, you are from Australia,

you are known as Aussies, so anybody from Newcastle and Gateshead

are known as Geordies, the same sort of thing, but without the weather!

I've got a question, lads.

Your first single, Look So Perfect, went to number one,

you've an album coming out very soon,

and you're on tour with One Direction,

where did it all go wrong, eh?

We've just been very blessed the last three-and-a-half years.

We started at school and things have just tumbleweeded,

rolled along, snowball-effect.

Good to be here today.

You have been doing this for three years now. An amazing past few years.

If you had to choose one highlight, what would it be?

I know it's difficult.

-Right now, it's pretty good.

-Stood next to us?

You don't have to say that.

I'm not going to lie, we are kind of a big deal around these parts.

I'm not going to lie to you.

One Direction have their Directioners,

Justin Bieber has his Beliebers, what are your fans called?

We don't roll with the name thing,

they call themselves whatever they like.

They are just supporters of our band.

-Great people.

-One last question.

If you had to choose a team to be on today, Team Sam or Team Mark,

who would you choose?

-It's up to you, you don't have to.

-Well, I'm a blazer man, this man.

He loves a blazer. Team Mark. OK.

-I love a blazer as well.

-Two for me.

-You like jackets?

-Yeah.

But this shirt though, like...

Oh, man. I've been outnumbered! I've been outnumbered.

I knew these lads were good.

-Thanks, lads.

-Thank you so much.

-Good luck with the rest of the tour and the album.

-Great song.

Right now, time to head over to DNN and Davina Wave.

-Apparently, there's been some complaints.

-I knew there would be.

Thanks, Sam and Mark. Newcastle and Gateshead is ROCKING!

Hoo! So, we've had a few "complaints" about me

last report saying that I didn't "actually do" any weather

and I showed a massive bias towards the North-East!

Well, of course I did, it's AMAZING, man!

Hoo-hoo-hoo!

Having said that,

I would like to promise there'll be

no such bias in this next weather report.

Even though we are stood by the glorious Tyne Bridge

on the banks of the River Tyne, the greatest bridge in the world

by the greatest river in the world in the greatest part of the world!

It's NewcastleGateshead! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Ahem! So... Let's start with the weather at that...London.

Fancy cardigans out, it's going to be mild

with temperatures reaching somewhere around the Alan Shearer mark.

Over in Wales, it's going to get a little bit brighter

levelling out around the Joe McElderry.

Over in Northern Ireland, it's going to get almost as hot as Cheryl Cole.

Over in Scotland it's going to be much, much warmer with

temperatures reaching a heady height of Ant and Dec!

But of course, the weather here in NewcastleGateshead

is going to be the best in the world

smashing your thermometers

with an unprecedented mix of Jade and Perrie.

Hoo! And that concludes the weather for today.

I hope it's proved I'm not biased in the slightest.

I'm biased in the mostest! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

Champion-e!

Now, over to Sam and Mark with an amazing Dare Devil challenge

live here in NewcastleGateshead.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

CHEERING

Another totally unbiased weather report there

-from the lovely Davina Wave.

-Very strange lady indeed.

I'll tell you what I am looking for work to, the ultimate

challenge to end all challenges - Team Sam versus Team Mark.

-That's coming up very shortly.

-Very excited.

But before that we still need to recruit two more team members

on each of our teams. Dare Devil, what are you doing?

I'm just getting the audience in the mood for our next challenge.

DOORBELL RINGS

Oh, you know what? Here come our next victims...

I mean, recruits, now...

It's Radzi and Lindsey from Blue Peter.

CHEERING

-Hello.

-Hello, guys, how are you?

-We are very, very good.

-We're good.

-Fantastic.

-Are you up for this challenge?

-We're up for it.

-Yes. Up for it.

-Excellent.

-We're in Castlegate and we've got to be up for it.

You know it! You know it!

OK, so, Dare Devil,

this has surely got to be some sort of Blue Peter make-based challenge?

Wrong again, I'm afraid, Sammikins.

Here comes the next challenge now.

BOTH: It's Bobby Lockwood.

CHEERING

Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be Bobby Lockwood?

Hello, mate, how are you doing? Good to see you.

All right, Bobby, will you clue these guys in

-on the details of the next challenge?

-Right.

Dare Devil found out that I used to do a little bit of dancing

so I thought I'd do a couple of moves

-and we'll see how Radzi and Lindsey get on, shall we?

-Brilliant.

Excellent, so this is a bit like the Dance Download in Friday Download?

-Exactly!

-So, the audience say who's the winner, yeah? Fantastic.

You guys are going to get to choose. Guys, how do you feel about it?

You must have done some dancing on Blue Peter at some point?

-I'm quite bad and Radzi's worse.

-Brilliant.

-Can't wait to see this.

It's going to be good telly. OK, Bobby, off you go, mate.

-BOBBY:

-Can we get some music please?

-LINDSEY:

-He's taking his shoes off!

The shoes are coming off!

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

Here we go. He's freestyling.

-Look at this!

-It's some kind of moonwalk.

-It's like he's floating.

-It's the worm!

-It's the worm!

-It's the worm!

He's got the worm out! That's amazing.

Right, come on. OK, Lindsey's taking her shoes off.

I think Radzi's taking his shoes off as well.

Guys, now you've just seen that, how are you feeling now?

Fantastic, yeah(!)

OK, you've got 20 seconds to do what Bobby just did but add in a few

extra moves because, you know, this audience are hard to please.

And don't forget, guys, whoever wins this challenge gets to choose which

team they want to be on - Team Sam or Team Mark.

So, if you know which team you want to be on

you have to make sure you win, OK? All right?

Shall we cue the music?

Three, two, one, cue the music...

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

-Oh!

-Wow!

Come on!

Oh, he's done it! He's doing it!

Freestyle! Freestyle! Freestyle!

Nice!

KLAXON SOUNDS Time's up. Time's up.

Wow. This is going to be really difficult, however...

-Bobby, what did you think about that?

-That was pretty good, yeah?

-I'm impressed.

-Really?

-So much!

-OK, it's up to the audience now.

OK, audience, if you think Lindsey won that challenge, cheer now.

CHEERING

That's a lot, that's a lot.

If you think Radzi won that challenge, cheer now.

CHEERING

OK, the audience have spoken

but the final word does go to the dance extraordinaire,

Bobby Lockwood. Who do you think?

-Who do you think?

-Don't know.

I think you both tried extremely well but I think, for the worm and

then the turn when he got up, I'm going to have to give it to Radzi.

-FANFARE SOUNDS

-Thank you!

Radzi, that means you now get to choose which team you want to be on.

-Team Sam or Team Mark?

-Outraged!

-OK.

-Who's it going to be!

CROWD SHOUT

OK? OK, guys, we're going to have to get your answer. Radzi?

I'm from Wolverhampton, you're from Wolverhampton - it's Team Mark.

Yeah!

Come here, Lindsey, it's me and you, girlfriend.

-Excellent, thank you very much, guys.

-That's brilliant. Fantastic.

-I do a little bit of dancing. Shall I do my signature move?

-Do it! Do it!

Chris, do you want to dance with Sam? Neither do I.

Nice moves, Sam, but it all seems to be going in Mark's favour today.

Let's see what you lot at home is saying.

Laila! Laila says Mark's team is the team she'd choose

because he was born on Wednesday. Bit weird, that.

-How does she know that?

-I was born on Shrove Tuesday.

-Doesn't matter.

Grace! Grace says, I would definitely choose Mark.

Sorry, Sam, I don't know why - maybe

because Felicity Bond supports him. Who knows?

Well, you guys know who you support.

[email protected] - tell us and tell us why.

We'll have another look at your e-mails in a bit.

-Here's another exclusive musical performance.

-Lovely.

Listen, there's no point e-mailing in, "Is it going to be Team Sam?

"Is it going to be Team Sam?"

Mark, it's going to be Team Sam!

All right, I tell you what, let's go over to Richard and George

in the Friday Download studio, where they've got The Vamps with them.

-Do you guys like The Vamps?

-Yeah?

-CHEERING

-Hi, Richard and George.

-Hi, Sam. Hi, Mark.

-Hi, NewcastleGateshead.

Sorry, lads, before we go any further,

we have got a question for you, before The Vamps perform.

Who would you choose? Which team would you go on?

Would it be Team Sam or Team Mark?

Well, I'd definitely be Team Sam.

But we've got The Vamps here, so, guys, whose team are you on? Sam?

-Probably on Team Sam.

-Yeah, Team Sam.

-What's your reasons for that?

-He's got great hair. I like his hair.

-That's a good enough reason.

-Fair point, yeah.

-What about you guys?

-I would go for Team Mark.

-He's from near Birmingham, so, yeah.

-We're Brummie boys.

So, guys, what are you going to perform?

-We are going to perform our song Wild Heart.

-Love it.

NewcastleGateshead,

with a special performance of Wild Heart just for you, it's The Vamps!

How are we doing, Friday Download? Are we doing good?

Thanks very much, CBBC. We'll see you soon.

CHEERING

-Fantastic performance from The Vamps. Did you enjoy it, guys?

-Yeah?

CHEERING

Fantastic, excellent stuff.

Well, Sam-engeti and Mark-aroni, there's only one more challenge

until Team Sam and Team Mark are complete.

-OK.

-We're going to find out once and for all who is best.

Audience, who do you think is best?

THEY SHOUT

All right! All right! Well, who's taking part in this challenge, then?

-What's happening?

-Well...

-DOORBELL RINGS

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Is that the door?

-Right on cue - an imaginary doorbell sounds!

You're about find out. Come on in.

It's Cel and Shannon!

CHEERING

-Hello, guys. Nice to have you on the show.

-No, thanks for having us.

Now, guys, Mr Dare Devil,

we recognise what these guys are wearing here,

-so I think you can lead, we know what's happening.

-Fair enough.

I'll see you soon for the ultimate end challenge.

Can't wait, can't wait. See you, mate.

-Can't wait for that strange man.

-Guys, you ready for this?

-I think so.

-I'm so nervous right now.

-Don't be nervous, we shall explain the rules.

Our lovely NewcastleGateshead audience

are armed with hundreds of balls.

Show us your balls, guys!

Great balls!

You've got ten seconds to throw as many balls as you can

at these sticky suits and you've got to get as many of those balls

on them sticky suits and then we'll count them up.

After the ten seconds, we will count up the sticky balls.

Whoever's got the most will win the challenge

and then get to choose whose team they want to be on. Understood?

-Understood.

-Understood.

-Excellent.

-Get in position.

Throw them at me!

-Wait! Wait! Wait!

-OK, go for it!

WHISTLE BLOWS

KLAXON BLARES

Time's up! Stop throwing! Stop throwing!

-OK, get up, guys, get up.

-Cel, you come here. Come on, mate.

Cel, come on.

-Get up, Shannon.

-Don't touch me!

OK, OK.

You are pros at this.

-OK, I've got mine. Oh, no!

-I've got it!

-OK, right.

I can reveal that Cel got 23 balls.

CHEERING

I can reveal that Shannon got 28 balls.

CHEERING

So...Shannon, that means that you are the winner.

You get to choose whose team you want to be on - Team Sam or Team Mark?

Come on, which one?

CROWD SHOUTS

-What's it going to be, Shannon?

-OK.

-OK, guys, here we go.

-Mark.

-Team Mark!

-Cel, that means it's me and you, brother.

-I'm ready.

-Excellent, OK.

-So, that is it. Our teams are complete.

-I can't believe it.

You know what? I don't actually know what the end challenge is.

I've got no idea. Chris and Hacker, any ideas what this challenge is?

-Oh, my little lovely Shannon.

-She did well, didn't she?

The teams are doing well over there.

In fact, you guys at home have got your opinions.

Blue! Hello, Blue! Blue says Team Sam is Blue's favourite

cos he has fabulous hair.

-I'm serious, it's better than Dodge's.

-Oh, he's got nice hair.

Them's fighting words. Emma says Team Sam because he's small, like me.

Ella says Team Mark, cos his jokes are usually better than Sam's.

Sian says Team Mark cos he always has smart looking hair.

-Also, Mark can be quite cheeky.

-He is cheeky.

And both teams have fought valiantly

but before the Dare Devil's final ultimate end challenge,

let's see some well-wishing words from the DNN crew.

-Thanks, Katie.

-That was Chris.

I think I know what Chris looks like, Felicity.

Oh, I love you, Chris.

So, now the Teams Sam and Mark, are complete,

-it can mean only one thing.

-Donkey ride!

No, it's time for the end challenge which will settle

once and for all who is the best - Team Sam or Team Mark!

This time, the Dare Devil has really excelled himself.

But before we head back over to the action,

let's check in with Davina Wave to get her take on who's going to win.

-NewcastleGateshead!

-SHE SHRIEKS

Whoo-hoo!

Well, that's that cleared up. So, let's go back to the boys.

-Go, Team Mark!

-Go, Team Sam!

-Team Mark!

-Team Sam!

-Team Mark!

-Team Sam!

-Team Mark!

-Team Sam!

-Team Sam?

Team Mark!

Got you! Go, Team Mark! Whoa!

Welcome back. You join us for the ultimate end challenge.

It's time for us to discover once and for all

whether Team Sam or Team Mark is best.

Listen, we've been doing this whole show.

We don't worry about it, it's just Team Sam.

Let's not bother doing this. Let's not bother doing this.

No, no, no, no, no.

As you can see, this team, Team Mark,

is the best team without doubt.

You know what I mean?

What do you think, audience?

Look at that.

Well, we'll see.

So, Dare Devil, I'm thinking that this final challenge is some

sort of tug-of-war situation?

Yeah, he got one right!

Yes, he did.

The name of the game is to overpower the opposition and pull their team

backwards towards these large red buttons positioned behind each team.

Whoever presses the button first is the winner.

The other team is, of course, the loser and will be covered in foam.

Let's just see our lovely team.

My lovely team over here, we've got Louisa, we've got Lindsey,

we've got Johnny and we have got Cel.

Look at this.

Over here, look at this. We've got we've got Kedar,

we've got Inel, we've got Shannon and we've got Radzi.

It's just, like, this is the most one-sided tug-of-war over.

Come on. Oh, now, I'm not going to big it up too much

cos if we lose I am in so much trouble.

They seem confident of their personnel. Let's see which is right.

Everybody, take your positions...

Dear me, OK.

Nearly ready.

Are you nearly ready?

Take the strain. Wait for it. On my mark, and pull!

WHISTLE BLOWS

That's it. Oh, strong stuff from Team Mark!

That's it, you are nearly at the button.

Come on, Sam, put your backs into it, that's it.

A late surge from Team Sam, how exciting.

Come on, Mark, see if you can get them back.

Team Sam, it's Team Sam, but wait, they're slacking off.

Come on, Team Mark. That's it. Win back some yardage.

Team Sam, Sam is nearly there. He's nearly at the button.

Can you stop him? I don't think you can. No!

That's it.

Sam hit the button first and Team Sam,

as you can see from their joyful celebrations, are the winners.

Of course, that means that Team Mark are the losers

and they're going to get covered in foam.

That's it. Oh, wonderful.

-Guys!

-Wonderful look there now.

Oh, I've always wanted to kiss him.

How wonderful.

Well, I'm going to give up my throne to you for you are the winner today.

-Thank you.

-Go on, sit down.

-Tremendous.

-This is ridiculous.

-You've got a lot to answer for, young man.

-He's a beautiful man.

-OK.

-All right, sit that crown on your head.

-Yeah, boy, yeah!

-Well done.

Thank you to everybody that's been on today's show.

-It has been fantastic fun.

-Thank you to all our guys -

Bobby Lockwood, Johnny, Louisa, Lindsey, Cel.

Kedar, Radzi, Naomi, Shannon, and we have enjoyed The Vamps,

5 Seconds Of Summer, Ashley Roberts. We'll see you very soon.

You've been fantastic. Thank you Newcastle!
