:00:23. > :00:33.of the year. And with winter on its way, we see if humans can hibernate
:00:33. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:53.Hello, Barney is not with us in the studio today, because he's busy
:00:53. > :01:00.rehearsing for panto. We have a great guest coming in to fill in.
:01:00. > :01:06.Let's find out who it is. Lucien Laviscount is best known for his
:01:06. > :01:16.portrayal on Waterloo Road. He appeared in this year's series of

:01:39. > :01:45.babdge. Look at this, the turn- coat! You have to pass a challenge.
:01:45. > :01:50.You have played a school pupil in Coronation Street and Waterloo Road
:01:50. > :01:54.and Grange Hill. We want to know if you would be any good if you went
:01:54. > :02:02.back to school. We have questions from the national curriculum. Are
:02:02. > :02:11.you ready for the challenge? From year 3. How many seconds are there
:02:11. > :02:17.in two minutes. 100, 120 or 30? What do you call an animal that
:02:17. > :02:24.hunts and eats other animals, predator, prey or producer.
:02:24. > :02:34.Predator. Which types of buildings, can Henry VIIIth destroy,
:02:34. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:40.Monastries. From year 6, veins carry blood to the heart, away from
:02:40. > :02:48.the heart or inside the heart. first one, to the heart!. Correct!
:02:48. > :02:55.Straight to the top of the class. From year seven, where did hip-hop
:02:55. > :03:05.originate? New York, New Orleans or New Jersey yoi. New York. What
:03:05. > :03:08.
:03:08. > :03:18.describes music that mimics music on - what is on scene. - screen,
:03:18. > :03:22.
:03:22. > :03:28.queuing, non-digetic or Mickey Mouseing. Queuing, Micky mousing.
:03:28. > :03:33.Did you do your homework, did you watch Children In Need. Of course!
:03:33. > :03:37.Last Friday was Children In Need. A massive �26 million raised.
:03:37. > :03:44.massive thank you to everybody involved. What o one of the things
:03:44. > :03:48.that happened was a huge concert that happened in Manchester. I was
:03:49. > :03:57.lucky enough to get tickets. I was texting all night, saying do you
:03:57. > :04:04.want to meet up, where are you? He didn't reply. I know why, he was
:04:04. > :04:14.backstage. Children In Need rocked Manchester. The biggest names
:04:14. > :04:15.
:04:15. > :04:24.performing on the ME M arena stage. The acts included Jessie J. Lady
:04:24. > :04:29.Gaga. And JLS, to name just a few.
:04:29. > :04:34.Putting on an event with acts like these doesn't happen overnight. It
:04:34. > :04:40.takes months of planning to put together and I'm at rehearsals a
:04:41. > :04:45.few days before the concert. I've been given amazing behind the
:04:45. > :04:54.scenes access to find out what happens to put a concert like this
:04:54. > :05:00.together. First up, you need an organiser, someone like take that
:05:00. > :05:04.Gary Barlow. Do you think you call people, and they say "yes", before
:05:04. > :05:12.you explain... When you say Children In Need, that's the point
:05:12. > :05:17.everybody goes I'll be into that. Once you get someone like Coldplay
:05:17. > :05:25.or Lady Gaga saying "yes", suddenly everybody else is interested.
:05:25. > :05:35.You're performing as well. Unfortunately for you lot, I will,
:05:35. > :05:42.I don't care what anybody says. an amazing star sort lined up, you
:05:42. > :05:49.need to decide how it looks. That's where Gary Barlow picked up Kim
:05:49. > :05:55.Gavin. Gary saying who he has spoken to, and we can put them into
:05:55. > :05:59.an order. What can we look forward to with Lady Gaga's performance.
:05:59. > :06:06.Everybody performance is very different. She has talked to our
:06:06. > :06:11.technical team. I'm excited to see what she brings. I'll oversee it
:06:11. > :06:16.and makes sure it comes to fruition. Every act needs to look unique. A
:06:16. > :06:25.big part is deciding on the lighting, which is down to the
:06:25. > :06:32.lighting director, Patrick Woodruff. The skill is to take all the songs,
:06:32. > :06:39.and give them a different personality. I can say take all the
:06:39. > :06:48.lights and make them blue, and back to the stage... With everything
:06:48. > :06:55.looking good on the stage, down to geoff to make sure what you see -
:06:55. > :07:02.what happens you see on TV. I have 17 cameras around the auditorium.
:07:02. > :07:10.You need to know at any one time what each is doing. I do a camera
:07:10. > :07:20.script, making sure who is singing. You need to know jury JLS inside
:07:20. > :07:20.
:07:20. > :07:26.out. Otherwise you're on Marvin... If anything guess whose fault...
:07:26. > :07:33.Mine. You're not shaking your head, you're looking at everything goes
:07:33. > :07:43.on. I'm fabulous at Wimbledon! host a concert like this, you need
:07:43. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:52.a huge rehearsals space, and a super talented team, and now all we
:07:52. > :07:57.need is a host of acts and fans. It's about to happen before a live
:07:57. > :08:04.screaming audience. I'm armed with a Blue Peter autograph book... Most
:08:04. > :08:11.of the acts will head by the press room as they come off stage,
:08:11. > :08:20.there's a chance I'll get many. Will you get everybody's, I'll try.
:08:20. > :08:30.If you can read that, you're a better person than me! From Gavin
:08:30. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:40.Smith! Draw a picture. Everybody book, we say when are they coming
:08:40. > :08:49.back?! With X Factor's Kelly row land about to come off, I'm keen
:08:49. > :08:59.for her to come off staying. And it it didn't stop there. The
:08:59. > :09:01.
:09:01. > :09:07.autographs kept on rolling in. Last but definitely not least Jesse J.
:09:07. > :09:17.Like that. I look pretty scary it is what it is. Big lips. There you
:09:17. > :09:28.
:09:28. > :09:34.What an amazing gig. I have my Blue Peter autograph book full, Gary
:09:34. > :09:41.Barlow, and Kelly, and Jesse J... Thank you to everybody who has got
:09:42. > :09:49.involved and donated money to this amazing cause. Here is the very
:09:49. > :09:59.autograph book. We have prized it out of Barney's hands. Jesse J has
:09:59. > :10:07.a self-portrait. And that's Kelly Rowland, I swear there was more
:10:07. > :10:12.lipstick than that, and Jesse complimented Barney with his hat.
:10:12. > :10:20.Did you see that dance he did?! We'll be meeting interesting
:10:20. > :10:25.animals with a show about pets. We'll be bringing some of the best
:10:25. > :10:33.toys, and games and gadgets into the studio ahead of Christmas and
:10:33. > :10:41.we will be welcoming Pixie Lott to perform her latest single.
:10:41. > :10:50.Something tells me you'll be coming back when Pixie is in the studio.
:10:50. > :10:57.Our next guest's job is inventing cool things. Londoner Mark
:10:57. > :11:06.Champkins wanted a �100,000 investment for a 15% stage in
:11:06. > :11:15.children's products. You hang the bag on the back of the chair.
:11:16. > :11:25.must be people buying things. it looks engaging for me, for a
:11:25. > :11:33.child. Peter Jones offered him all the money. 40%. 30% is fair. In the
:11:34. > :11:41.end they settled on 40%, but with a 5% reduction in equity if Mark
:11:41. > :11:46.meets his projected profits. Noise for Mark Champkins. How you're an
:11:46. > :11:54.inventor in roipbz at the Science Museum. You create all kinds of
:11:54. > :12:01.things. This is obviously a lunch box. Not just any lunch box. It's
:12:01. > :12:09.designed to protect fruit from being bashed and bruised. Bananas,
:12:09. > :12:18.always go soggy. With with this box. I've put something hard around the
:12:18. > :12:22.banana and orange. I used tennis balls, and it has developed from.
:12:23. > :12:32.Where did you get the ideas from. From kids, they suggest problems,
:12:33. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :12:59.I like this, it's a water bottle and a pencil case. The idea is to
:12:59. > :13:06.drink while working. Your brain is always in the best state. You're
:13:06. > :13:15.doolgdzing and having a drink. want to know what this does?
:13:15. > :13:25.looks like an old style gramophone. Before there was electroification,
:13:25. > :13:26.
:13:26. > :13:36.they used trumpets. The idea here they used trumpets. The idea here
:13:36. > :13:36.
:13:36. > :13:46.is to amplify sound. That's without. When you put it in here, the sound
:13:46. > :13:53.goes up. Without... The thing I like about this, there are no wires
:13:53. > :14:01.and batteries. I want to get a pen out and you can draw on it. It's
:14:01. > :14:06.just plastic. We have got a little bit of a challenge for you, Lucien
:14:06. > :14:13.passed his with flying colours. We're laying down the gauntlet for
:14:13. > :14:18.you, we're heading into winter. Viewers will be waiting at the bus
:14:18. > :14:23.stop. They are cold and bored. Can you create something for them. Do
:14:23. > :14:30.you think you can come up with something. To make sure the bus
:14:30. > :14:34.doesn't go passed... Yes I think I can. In a couple of weeks, you'll
:14:34. > :14:39.hopefully come back with a couple hopefully come back with a couple
:14:39. > :14:45.of great ideas. We look forward to seeing you. Time to check out
:14:45. > :14:49.somebody else, with a problem with the winter months. Shelley our Blue
:14:49. > :14:55.Peter tortoise went to sleep at the end of October. The family that
:14:55. > :15:02.look after her packed her into a comfortable box and she's sleeping
:15:02. > :15:08.at the moment in the garden shed, she has a thermometer with us, and
:15:08. > :15:16.if the temperature goes below 4 degrees she has to go somewhere
:15:16. > :15:23.warmer. If it stays cold, she might sleep for longer. If she sleeps for
:15:23. > :15:31.much longer, we need to bring her in and warm her up. Tortoises need
:15:31. > :15:40.to only sleep for four to eight weeks. Otherwise durb any longer
:15:40. > :15:45.and they will starve. Could humans hierb - hibernate? That's that dark
:15:45. > :15:52.time of the year. All you want to do is stay in your toasty bed.
:15:52. > :15:59.That's what some animals do in the winter months. They stay in bed or
:15:59. > :16:06.hibernate. If they can do it, can we? I'll find out and look at some
:16:06. > :16:11.of the natural processes animals use to hibernate. I'll see if us
:16:11. > :16:18.humans can escape the dreary winter mornings by hibernating. As the
:16:18. > :16:25.days draw in, food that many of the animals need to survive don't grow.
:16:25. > :16:32.They do into hierb nation, a deep sleep that dramatically slows down
:16:32. > :16:42.their heart rate and bodily function. Can humans hibernate. It
:16:42. > :16:43.
:16:43. > :16:51.happened in films. In Super Hero Captain America reawakened after
:16:51. > :17:01.spending 60 years in a block of ice. There have been stories of humans
:17:01. > :17:09.who survived long periods in hierb nation. In 2006, the Japanese hiker
:17:09. > :17:17.shocked the world by surviving 24 days, following a fall. Doctors
:17:17. > :17:26.believe he only survived because his bodily temperature plummeted
:17:26. > :17:36.and his body organs shut down. This caused excitement among scientists
:17:36. > :17:43.who believed proper human hibernation could happen. That
:17:43. > :17:52.means astronauts could put in sleep for many years and travel to
:17:52. > :18:01.planets that could take a lifetime to raze - reach. To hibernate
:18:01. > :18:03.needed: The bodily needs to deal with the waste produced by food and
:18:03. > :18:10.with the waste produced by food and water., metabolism the body needs
:18:10. > :18:14.to slow down brain wave and heart functions and other functions to
:18:14. > :18:21.conserve energy. Food and water. In order to survive the winter animals
:18:21. > :18:28.have to stock up on food to double their body weight in size. In the
:18:28. > :18:34.spring many animals are out of hibernation. Then in the summer
:18:34. > :18:44.they feed on the goodies and put on a little bit of weight. Like this,
:18:44. > :18:44.
:18:44. > :18:53.it's in the autumn they put on all the weight they need to get ready
:18:53. > :18:59.for hibernation. And by the winter a dormouse is twice the body size.
:18:59. > :19:06.Theoretically humans are able to eat enough to double the body size.
:19:06. > :19:10.To hibernate is not about just stocking up on food. Bears with
:19:10. > :19:17.hibernate for up to seven months. Throughout to this time they don't
:19:17. > :19:23.need to go to the toilet. Whether we flush our toilets our waste ends
:19:23. > :19:29.up in a plant like this, where it's broken down and recycled. That is
:19:29. > :19:34.what is happening to the bear's waste. The body is acting as a
:19:34. > :19:44.recycling plant. In a process that baffles the world's scientist, a
:19:44. > :19:53.bear's body can breakdown the waste and reuse the waste to produce
:19:53. > :20:01.protein. This naiblgs the bear to feed the muscle throughout the
:20:01. > :20:08.winter. A build-up of waste for a human would damage the body. For a
:20:08. > :20:16.human body to survive it would need help from medical assistance. This
:20:16. > :20:26.is what happens to a patient after a bad act in a coma. With the help
:20:26. > :20:29.
:20:29. > :20:36.of machines, I could remove my waste. When animals go into
:20:36. > :20:44.hibertnaion they lower their heart rate. I've come to meet a
:20:44. > :20:50.meditation expert to bring my heart rate and brain waves down. A
:20:50. > :20:59.hibernating hedgehog slows down the heart rate from 120 beats hr minute
:20:59. > :21:09.to 20 a minute. Dave Jones is going to monitor my heart rate to see if
:21:09. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:18.I can lower it. We need to measure my heart rate. 66 beats per minute.
:21:18. > :21:25.We're aiming to lure my heart rate to 11 and I've got to try and
:21:25. > :21:31.reduce my brain waves until they're negligible. That will be
:21:31. > :21:41.interesting! Dave sects censors to my head and body to measure my
:21:41. > :21:59.
:21:59. > :22:05.brain waves and heartbeat. All I And after trying to do some serious
:22:05. > :22:12.meditation... Dave we needed to get my heart rate down to 11. Did we
:22:12. > :22:20.get close? Not really! We started off at 66 up there, went into
:22:20. > :22:26.meditation, slowly dropped a wee bit, not very much to 60. What
:22:26. > :22:32.about my brain waves, There was much the same as they were. I'm not
:22:32. > :22:38.a hibernating animal, am I! afraid not. I didn't exactly relax
:22:38. > :22:42.properly. Humans are able to reduce their heart rate. It's reducing the
:22:42. > :22:49.brain waves that is much more challenging. Things might be
:22:49. > :22:59.different in the future. Imagine what could happen if we unlock The
:22:59. > :23:05.
:23:05. > :23:12.She might not be a hibernating animal but she's a clever lady.
:23:12. > :23:22.It's a lot more complicated. You think hibernating they smuggle down.
:23:22. > :23:30.We know you guys love Shelley. Erica, a full animal family in
:23:30. > :23:37.there. You have Barney and Cookie and Socks. And Maizie has sent this
:23:37. > :23:46.picture of Shelley. Make sure you need sending us post. Coming up
:23:46. > :23:53.tomorrow raise aiz a special show dedicated to pets. We'll welcoming
