:00:22. > :00:27.Today, we spring a big surprise on a man who has brought some of our
:00:27. > :00:30.favourite characters to life. Stand by as we go gastro-nutty as
:00:30. > :00:40.experimental chef Stefan Gates supports this year's Blue Peter
:00:40. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:01.On guard. The reason I'm dressed like is because there is a new film
:01:01. > :01:07.out this week called The Three Musketeers. It's full of action,
:01:07. > :01:11.thrills and spills, stunts, Orlando Bloom is in it, James Corden is in.
:01:11. > :01:15.There is comedy. This plastic sword is a joke. Brace yourself. We know
:01:15. > :01:22.you learnt your skills on the set of The Three Musketeers. In this
:01:22. > :01:31.studio, right here, right now, you have met your match. You were meant
:01:31. > :01:36.to catch that. Let's see how I got on on the red carpet. It might look
:01:36. > :01:42.look I'm in France I'm at a film premier for The Three Musketeers. I
:01:42. > :01:52.will escort Freddy Fox down the red carpet. Every King needs a
:01:52. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:00.bodyguard. That is where these guys Guys, can we slow it down a second.
:02:00. > :02:04.Some of us have to learn skills to protect the King. The musketeers
:02:04. > :02:09.were created by the King of France at the beginning of the 17th
:02:09. > :02:12.century. They acted as the King's personal guards. The legend has
:02:12. > :02:16.been brought bang up-to-date with the release of this new film much I
:02:17. > :02:26.will meet Freddy very soon. How are you? First, I need to learn how to
:02:27. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:38.This isn't called a sword. This is the weapon of the musketeer. Other
:02:38. > :02:45.than being honourable what makes a good musketeer? Excellent sword
:02:45. > :02:51.work. At all cost protect the King. And and look good while you do it,
:02:51. > :02:56.if if you can. You lay-down the challenge, I accept. Excellent.
:02:56. > :03:00.lesson starts off pretty well. I'm learning good skills and feeling
:03:00. > :03:07.confident. That's it. When it comes to being a musketeer I think I'm
:03:07. > :03:11.half way. There look at these guys, girlie hair and leather. I have
:03:11. > :03:17.curly hair. I've got the leather. I need practice with this sword.
:03:17. > :03:22.Where is some competition? As always, I spoke too soon. I think
:03:22. > :03:28.I've taught you all I can for today. We u need prove your self-. It's
:03:28. > :03:35.time to see if I can cut it as a movie musketeer. Here they come.
:03:35. > :03:40.They are dressed in black. They are the bad guys. Look at them staring
:03:40. > :03:45.me out. Without a sword. You won't always have a sword to protect the
:03:45. > :03:55.King. I'm not sure what I'm doing. I'm nervous. I will try and get
:03:55. > :03:55.
:03:55. > :04:05.your sword. OK. Well done. As if one isn't enough, now, I have to
:04:05. > :04:08.
:04:08. > :04:13.APPLAUSE It has to be embarrassing for them,
:04:13. > :04:19.hasn't it? Three boys, one girl. The men head off in a sulk. There
:04:19. > :04:25.is good news for me. Job done. You are a fully qualified musketeer.
:04:25. > :04:30.Are you confident the King will be OK? I'm confident the King is in
:04:30. > :04:35.safe hands. Thank you, no-one needs to worry about the King. Have fun.
:04:35. > :04:41.I've mastered the art of being a musketeer and feel ready to meet
:04:42. > :04:45.Freddy Fox. Brawling with the Cardinal's guards, very bad. He is
:04:45. > :04:50.talking to the press about the movie. I feel it's my job to save
:04:51. > :04:57.him from the boring interviews. costume... I'm here to protect you.
:04:57. > :05:07.I'm not sure I'm happy about this. That means all journalists out.
:05:07. > :05:11.
:05:11. > :05:19.That's the door over there. don't I have one of those. Build me
:05:19. > :05:26.one. You are backed into a corner. Right. I'm the King I can say,
:05:26. > :05:33."stop it" Yeah., "stop". I'm your servant. Gotcha. The benefits of
:05:33. > :05:38.being a King. In the film you act if if you are not on guard, but you
:05:38. > :05:48.are? Maybe that is the truth. You have to be when have you the
:05:48. > :05:53.Cardinal and Buckingham, roch fort and M'lady. Finish them off.
:05:53. > :05:56.give me from saying this, D'Artagnan, you look a little under
:05:57. > :06:04.dressed. You seem object cress sesed with fashion, is that
:06:04. > :06:09.important to you? Very. In real- life and in the film? You look
:06:09. > :06:14.dapper. Definitely. You have beaten me hands down. In the film big
:06:14. > :06:23.names. Yeah. Who was run to work alongside? James Corden was fun.
:06:23. > :06:29.Sorry, sirs. He carries the bags. He is the bagman. What are you?
:06:29. > :06:36.Complete and utter waste of space, sir. And. I will see you on the red
:06:36. > :06:41.carpet. I'll blend in, watching your back. Back at the film's
:06:41. > :06:51.opening the crowds are gathering. I make sure the area is safe. Let the
:06:51. > :06:51.
:06:51. > :06:59.premier begin. Take That, everyone! As the stars arrive, I take the
:06:59. > :07:05.chance to speak to my fellow musketeers. Matthew Macfadyen plays
:07:05. > :07:09.Athos? Did it take you a long time to learn the fight scenes? Yes, it
:07:09. > :07:19.took a month. You practice and practice the moves over and over
:07:19. > :07:19.
:07:19. > :07:24.again and get them faster and faster and faster. Ray Stephenson
:07:24. > :07:33.is Porthos. How hard was it to learn the skills? You have a short
:07:33. > :07:38.career if you don't learn the skills. Luke Evans is Aramis. The
:07:38. > :07:45.only thing you miss in your gang is a a woman. I keep guard. It's not
:07:45. > :07:50.long until the King arrives. He has arrived in one piece on the red
:07:50. > :07:54.carpet. How are you feeling after your encounter? I feel better
:07:54. > :08:00.trained. I feel better prepared. I feel better protected. That is
:08:00. > :08:07.exactly what I wanted to hear. From one King to another. Orlando Bloom
:08:07. > :08:13.plays the fashion conscious King of England. Love the outfit. Very
:08:13. > :08:21.retro. We were wearing those in London, when was it, last year or
:08:21. > :08:27.the year before? Hello Blue Peter. How are you? I'm good. You have
:08:27. > :08:36.your badge on. How can you not notice the out fit and go for the
:08:36. > :08:42.badge? The badge counts. How can anyone compete with my bloomers?
:08:42. > :08:46.have learnt lessons should I need to protect a King again. You have
:08:46. > :08:50.to be honourable, skilful and determined. Other thing I've learnt.
:08:50. > :08:56.If you want to attract the attention of movie stars wear a big
:08:56. > :09:03.hat. Good advice that right there. Always wear a large hat. That was a
:09:03. > :09:08.lesson on how to be a movie start star by Orlando Bloom becharming.
:09:08. > :09:12.He said if he picked the muss MissS I could be one. Sometimes we have
:09:12. > :09:16.special guests on the show. Sometimes it's the guest that do
:09:16. > :09:20.something special that we think should be noticed. Tony Ross is a
:09:20. > :09:24.well-known illustrator. He brought some of your favourite chashs to
:09:24. > :09:28.life over the years including Little Princess and Horrid Henry.
:09:28. > :09:32.love Horrid Henry. He would fit in with the musketeers dressed like
:09:32. > :09:36.that. Only if I was there to protect him. I can't speak I'm
:09:36. > :09:41.thinking of Orlando Bloom. Let's find out what happened when we gave
:09:41. > :09:48.something special to Tony Ross. heard he was going to be at this
:09:49. > :09:54.school outside Birmingham along with Francesca Simon author of
:09:54. > :10:04.Horrid Henry. I have to make sure he doesn't see me as I try to
:10:04. > :10:11.
:10:11. > :10:15.So, here I am hiding in the headmasters office, along with the
:10:15. > :10:24.Horrid Henry costume, which I will put on. He has no idea what's about
:10:24. > :10:33.to happen. Normally, when you go to the headmasters office it's for a
:10:33. > :10:39.different reason. Tony and Francesca have started on the
:10:39. > :10:43.screen. She was awarded her Gold badge in 2010. She knows all about
:10:43. > :10:53.it today. The children and Tony don't have a clue. I have to put my
:10:53. > :11:13.
:11:13. > :11:20.head on and wait for my cue. Here Here we go! I'm very pleased to
:11:20. > :11:24.introduce to you a very special visitor.
:11:24. > :11:34.# It's not easy being me # Wash your face and brush your
:11:34. > :11:40.hair... # Now, I'm here for a very special
:11:40. > :11:47.reason. The last time Tony and I were together Tony turned to me and
:11:47. > :11:51.said, "when I I get my gold Blue Peter badge" I said, "you have to
:11:51. > :11:58.earn it"? You said. That I've never earnt anything in my life. Do you
:11:58. > :12:01.think he's earnt it now? YES! second, Tony, it gives me great
:12:01. > :12:05.pleasure for delighting audiences all over the place and for being a
:12:05. > :12:15.great friend to Blue Peter that is your very own gold Blue Peter badge.
:12:15. > :12:22.
:12:23. > :12:27.Wow! He is such a lovely guy.
:12:27. > :12:31.talented. I love him more for the fact he went rock star at the end
:12:31. > :12:37.and went, "thank you" A very special man with a very special
:12:37. > :12:42.badge. Time to tell you about the Blue Peter appeal Bake A Difference.
:12:42. > :12:47.Lots of people have been helping us to help with children in need.
:12:47. > :12:53.Stefan Gates has got on board from Gastronuts. He took ordinary
:12:54. > :13:01.ingredients and turned them into an extraordinary event. I have been
:13:01. > :13:04.reading his joke book. I'm Stefan Gates I love cooking. I'm obsessed
:13:04. > :13:12.with the wild side of food, not only how it tastes but
:13:12. > :13:17.experimenting with it and pushing the boundaries of what food can do.
:13:17. > :13:22.Now, I'm on a mission to expose the extreme side of one of the most
:13:22. > :13:27.popular baked goods of all, the sweet, humble cupcake. Over the
:13:27. > :13:33.last few years, cupcakes have exploded in popularity. They are
:13:34. > :13:39.worth a fortune. The cupcake industry is worth over �26 million
:13:39. > :13:45.and billions worldwide. I will show you that the ingredients used in
:13:45. > :13:49.cupcakes can be bizarre, super strong, highly reactive and down
:13:49. > :13:56.right dangerous. You'll never look at a cupcake in the same way again.
:13:56. > :14:02.First up, the icing. It starts off like, this nice, clean and white.
:14:02. > :14:07.What goes into it to turn it pink. Natural food colouring. It's so
:14:07. > :14:12.strong you need a tiny little bit to turn this whole pot of icing
:14:12. > :14:22.bright pink. Let's take the water out of the colouring and see what
:14:22. > :14:22.
:14:22. > :14:31.is left. It's a powder. It's hair. Let's take a closer look at her.
:14:31. > :14:39.You can see that she's an insect. She lives on cactus leaves in South
:14:39. > :14:48.America. They dry them out in the heat of the sun. The legs get
:14:48. > :14:55.knocked off. You take these bugs and you put them in a pot and grind
:14:55. > :15:04.them up. You get this dark, almost rust-coloured powder. What that is
:15:04. > :15:14.is the blood. When you add a little bit of water that red blood turns
:15:14. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:22.into a bright pink food dye. Mix that, together with some icing, and
:15:22. > :15:32.that is insect blood pink. We put that on our cupcakes and we eat
:15:32. > :15:33.
:15:33. > :15:39.Have a look around your food car but -- your food cupboard. If you
:15:39. > :15:43.spot cochineal, you have been eating cochineal bugs. Next, eggs,
:15:43. > :15:48.the most extraordinary ingredient in the cupcake. That is the real
:15:48. > :15:52.problem with eggs. When I bring things home from the shops, I am
:15:52. > :15:57.worried if they have smashed. In some ways, they are incredibly
:15:57. > :16:00.strong as well. The strength is in the shells. This as an experiment
:16:00. > :16:05.you can try at home if your parents give you permission and if you do
:16:05. > :16:13.it over the sink with protective gear. Take your eggs so it is
:16:13. > :16:17.upright, and squeeze, and squeezed harder, and as hard as you can! You
:16:17. > :16:22.probably don't believe me but that was me squeezing as hard as I
:16:22. > :16:28.possibly could. But the eggshell is not breaking. The reason is, these
:16:28. > :16:31.have an amazing design. This stone shape means that all of the
:16:31. > :16:38.pressure in between my fingers is spread across the entirety of the
:16:38. > :16:43.egg -- dome shape. I want to do an experiment find out how much weight
:16:43. > :16:53.eggs can take. Here I have a couple of trays of eggs. I am going to put
:16:53. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :17:01.a heavy weight on them. Let's start with a brick. I will lay it down
:17:01. > :17:09.gently. The eggs will support the weight of a brick. Not bad. Let's
:17:09. > :17:14.upscale bliss. I have -- upscale this. I have a large piece of a
:17:14. > :17:22.house. It probably weighs about half the weight of me. I am going
:17:22. > :17:32.to drop it very gently onto the eggs. But I think most of them have
:17:32. > :17:32.
:17:32. > :17:42.survived, let's have a quick look. Yes! Can be eggs take a fully grown
:17:42. > :17:52.
:17:52. > :17:56.Stefan? Here we go. I can feel one Oh, my word! The eggs have taken my
:17:56. > :18:01.entire weight! Can they take the weight of the large bit of building,
:18:01. > :18:11.weight of the large bit of building, and me? I have never put this much
:18:11. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :18:21.weight on eggs before. Here goes. One of them so went but just then!
:18:21. > :18:24.
:18:24. > :18:29.That is amazing. There is only so much an egg can do. If you think
:18:29. > :18:34.that is amazing, wait until you see what my next extraordinary
:18:34. > :18:40.ingredient can do. Bicarbonate of soda. It is a strange white powder.
:18:40. > :18:44.Look at that. This stuff is put into your cake to help it rise,
:18:45. > :18:50.because it leads off a gas when it is cooked. It sounds a bit weird,
:18:50. > :18:55.so I will show you what happens. This is an old fashioned 35
:18:55. > :19:01.millimetre film canister. I am going to put a little bit of lemon
:19:01. > :19:05.juice inside of it. About a centimetre. Take one piece of
:19:05. > :19:09.toilet paper, put it over the canister, so it goes down, but not
:19:09. > :19:16.canister, so it goes down, but not as far as the lemon juice. Take a
:19:16. > :19:24.teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. Stick it in the top. Put the lid
:19:24. > :19:30.And then, I'm going to turn it over, so that the bicarbonate of soda
:19:30. > :19:33.mixes with the lemon juice. See mixes with the lemon juice. See
:19:33. > :19:36.what happens. A little pop. What is what happens. A little pop. What is
:19:36. > :19:39.happening here is the lemon juice is reacting with the bicarbonate of
:19:39. > :19:43.is reacting with the bicarbonate of soda, and releasing carbon dioxide.
:19:43. > :19:49.It is exactly the same thing that happens in your cakes. If we can
:19:49. > :19:59.make a film canister pop, I wonder if I can do the same thing on a
:19:59. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:20:48. > :20:56.Next time, I will be taking it one step further, with icing sugar and
:20:56. > :21:00.flour. Believe me, it will be In case you are wondering if eggs
:21:00. > :21:06.really are that strong, we have them here and I really am squeezing
:21:06. > :21:16.that as hard as I can. I thought I was strong! These are real eggs, by
:21:16. > :21:20.
:21:20. > :21:30.I can't complain, look at him! It I can't complain, look at him! It
:21:30. > :21:31.
:21:31. > :21:35.you are inspired to get baking, you We both said, I want to try that.
:21:35. > :21:40.We are hoping when you see some people having a bake sale, you will
:21:40. > :21:43.say, I want to try that. If you do, you will be raising money for this
:21:43. > :21:48.year's appeal and supporting Children In Need. You are a good
:21:48. > :21:51.sport! For this year's appeal, we are teaming up with Children In
:21:51. > :21:55.Need to help provide money for children living with chronic
:21:55. > :22:01.illnesses in the UK. Loads of you from across the country have been
:22:01. > :22:04.getting involved. We went to this school near our new home in Salford,
:22:05. > :22:11.where preparation for the Bake A Difference bake sale are in full
:22:11. > :22:19.swing. We are baking cakes for Children In Need, because we need
:22:19. > :22:24.to Bake A Difference. We have 24 cakes with different flavours.
:22:24. > :22:34.made chocolate and strawberry flavoured capes. We are doing it so
:22:34. > :22:42.
:22:42. > :22:52.children can have a better future. Save some of those for me! I wonder
:22:52. > :23:01.how many cakes they will add to the totaliser. We made 433 cakes in 15
:23:01. > :23:05.If you want to Bake A Difference for Children In Need, you will find
:23:05. > :23:15.all the information on the Blue Peter website. Go on, Bake A

:23:15. > :23:20.Watching that makes me smile, and hopefully it will make you want to
:23:20. > :23:25.have a bake sale. Sorry about the egg thing. That is quite all right.
:23:25. > :23:30.Get yourself a mixing bowl and bake some stuff for us. It doesn't have
:23:30. > :23:34.to be eggs, you can bake anything. Sell it at your bake sale and make
:23:34. > :23:38.some money for Children In Need. Pizzas, sausage rolls, if you can
:23:38. > :23:43.bake it, you can sell it and make money for the appeal. I am sorry.
:23:43. > :23:46.He is never going to have an omelette again! Next week, the
:23:46. > :23:51.Liverpool football stars will be swapping a kicking for cooking as
