:00:17. > :00:22.Today we're bringing you the amacing new technology that turns
:00:22. > :00:32.the T-shirt you're wearing into a video game. And barney meets the
:00:32. > :00:46.
:00:46. > :00:54.performers who can turn the oddest stuff into musical instruments!
:00:54. > :00:59.Hello and welcome to Blue Peter. As you can sigh o see Barney is not by
:00:59. > :01:09.my side. He's working very hard in pantomime. I think he's playing
:01:09. > :01:15.dress up. Look at this picture he sent me. I can't look. I'm not
:01:15. > :01:25.sailing this ship alone. I'm joined by CBBC's newest Action Man. Rav
:01:25. > :01:30.
:01:30. > :01:35.Wilding is a full-bodied Action Man. He uses his investigating skills on
:01:35. > :01:45.the BBC show Crimewatch and goes out as a roving reporter for The
:01:45. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:04.One Show. You joined Blue Peter's extended family, we thought you can
:02:05. > :02:11.-- Did such a good job, we wanted you to to come and fill Barney's
:02:11. > :02:15.shoes. I have have to ask you about the adventure show you did the
:02:15. > :02:21.Arctic. It was really, really hard. We were out in the Arctic, swimming
:02:21. > :02:31.in the icy sea. What was the hardest thing? I think it was the
:02:31. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :02:38.swim we had to do. It was a few, it was chunks of eyes next to us. It
:02:39. > :02:44.was pretty cold. You did that, but you were nervous about wearing that.
:02:44. > :02:50.It's not mine. It's a special T- shirt. It's a treat having Rav with
:02:50. > :02:56.us for the day. We thought we would let you ask some questions. If you
:02:56. > :03:01.are watching live, e-mail us a question for Rav. You can ask me
:03:01. > :03:08.anything. Anything you want to ask, what it's like presenting Cop
:03:09. > :03:12.School. Or maybe what I want to have for Christmas! Helen take note.
:03:12. > :03:21.If you find yourself in a bit of trouble there are lots of places
:03:21. > :03:30.and people you can turn to. One of them is a free 24 hour phone line
:03:30. > :03:35.called ChildLine. Over the last years, ChildLine has helped 2.6
:03:35. > :03:41.million children. They have high profile supporters. This is Marvin
:03:41. > :03:48.from JLS. I'm lucky enough to be in one of the best bands ever. We have
:03:48. > :03:53.had five number one singles and won Brit awards. When I was 12 years
:03:53. > :04:00.old I was bullied. It really got to me. I know how important it is when
:04:00. > :04:08.you need someone to talk to. That's why I support these guys. ChildLine
:04:08. > :04:16.launched in 1986 and started as a freephone line for children to talk
:04:16. > :04:25.to. ChildLine is still being inunnated with calls... These days
:04:25. > :04:32.there are more than 1,000 trained council -- Counsellors working for
:04:32. > :04:42.ChildLine Does it get upsetting for you? It is. But we're pleased they
:04:42. > :04:43.
:04:43. > :04:50.have been brave and get in touch. There are trained councillors. Why
:04:50. > :04:55.did you contact ChildLine. I felt lonely and isolated. Nobody to talk
:04:55. > :04:59.to. Did you feel confident that everything you told them was
:04:59. > :05:03.confident and -- Confidential and private. At first it was strange
:05:03. > :05:09.talking about my problems. But a councillor was comforting and
:05:09. > :05:13.helped. When I was younger I used to get bullied as well, if I had
:05:13. > :05:18.not spoken to my parents about it. It might have been more of a
:05:18. > :05:24.serious problem. You have trained as a councillor, things have
:05:24. > :05:30.massively changed for you? started to train last year and
:05:30. > :05:40.completed before Christmas. You are taking phone calls from people, who
:05:40. > :05:40.
:05:40. > :05:45.were like yourself, getting bullied I'm checking out the bullying
:05:45. > :05:51.thread on the ChildLine website. I remember writing this two years ago.
:05:51. > :05:55.I was explaining to the guys that come on to the bullying thread
:05:55. > :05:59.there's always someone who will listen to you, and so you should
:05:59. > :06:04.never be squared to pick up the phone or go on the messaging board
:06:04. > :06:10.and get it off your chest and know there's a voice for someone to
:06:10. > :06:17.listen to you. They bully me because I have a packed lunch and
:06:17. > :06:27.like reading and writing, and they tease me because I walk to school.
:06:27. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:33.Two boys physically hurt me, and hope she did something about it.
:06:33. > :06:39.And hopefully it stopped now. No matter how big or small you think
:06:39. > :06:45.your problem may be, it's good to get it off your chest. Almost time
:06:45. > :06:52.to ask. Before I go, here are guys on tour of ChildLine. They are here
:06:52. > :06:59.to see what goes on behind the scenes. They don't know I'm here.
:06:59. > :07:07.I'm Marvin from JLS. I will give you a hug for having a JLS bag. So
:07:07. > :07:14.you're a fan? Yeah. Who is your favourite member? You! Great answer.
:07:14. > :07:19.I used to get bullied 4 when I was younger for wearing glasses. People
:07:19. > :07:24.used to call me all sorts of names. When was important, I learned I
:07:24. > :07:30.needed to talk to someone. No matter how big or small you think
:07:30. > :07:33.it is, know there's always someone to listen to you, if you have got
:07:33. > :07:41.any problems. It has been fantastic meeting the young people and
:07:41. > :07:45.meeting David and his amazing story. He has become a councillor, so it's
:07:45. > :07:49.inspwraigsal. ChildLine does amazing things. Thank you Marvin.
:07:49. > :07:55.And that is a fantastic organisation. It really is. I had a
:07:55. > :08:00.tough time when I was at school and kids tried to bully me. To know
:08:00. > :08:07.there's an organisation where kids can phone in, and there will be
:08:07. > :08:14.someone 24/7 to listen to them it's a great thing. If there's anything
:08:14. > :08:19.a great thing. If there's anything you want to talk to ChildLine about,
:08:19. > :08:25.you want to talk to ChildLine about, you can call or head to the website.
:08:25. > :08:30.Still to come before Christmas, Pixie will be performing her latest
:08:30. > :08:38.single live in the stoofplt And we'll be behind the scenes when
:08:38. > :08:45.barney went to film the Christmas celebrityy sing along. And we'll
:08:45. > :08:51.sprou you to -- Introduce you to a boy in Scotland who makes his own
:08:51. > :08:57.board games and gets them produced. You may have nltsed knees things.
:08:57. > :09:02.These are called QR codes. You can read them using a Smartphone or a
:09:02. > :09:07.tablet. You hold your device up to a code and it reads it and sends a
:09:08. > :09:13.lot of information to your phone. They're on adverts in in newspapers,
:09:13. > :09:20.and local busses and on ads on bus stops. Your device can read the
:09:20. > :09:28.combination of black and white squares and uses apps to decipher
:09:28. > :09:32.them. We have been talking about your T-shirt. These things are
:09:32. > :09:39.complicated but they're very, very cool. The technology means you can
:09:39. > :09:46.play a game by looking at your T- shirt. That's the reason you made
:09:46. > :09:53.me wear the T-shirt. Your T-shirt has the codes in that we're talking
:09:53. > :10:00.about. I have got this tablet. It is a flat T-shirt to the naked eye,
:10:00. > :10:10.through this it comes alive. I have to disappear the aliens. This is
:10:10. > :10:14.
:10:14. > :10:22.what you're looking at. To my eye more fun for you than me. It looks
:10:22. > :10:31.like it's alive. I think it's time to -- To introduce the brains
:10:31. > :10:37.behind it. Jack McConnell is -- Connell is the creator. I said it's
:10:37. > :10:43.a funny device. How does it work. It recognises the image on Rav's T-
:10:43. > :10:51.shirt and when it sees it, it can produce the game and interact with
:10:51. > :10:56.it. The image on the T-shirt is programmed in the ap or the phone.
:10:56. > :11:04.We clear it up with the image, and we design the game and put it into
:11:04. > :11:14.the app and that is what happens. It's not a special Smartphone, it's
:11:14. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:20.about the ap:. The app runs on lots of mobile phones. Can you reg your
:11:20. > :11:27.scores. We don't have leaderboards at the moment but you can take a
:11:27. > :11:36.photograph and show your friends. Can you do it with your phone.
:11:36. > :11:44.can both be playing off Rav's T- shirt. What happens if you're
:11:44. > :11:50.playing and Helen gets in front of me. Once the ap:can't see the T-
:11:51. > :12:00.shirt the game no longer happens. We set you a challenge. We gave you
:12:00. > :12:09.the Blue Peter log yo, what can you do with the logo? We set our artist
:12:09. > :12:19.on the task. We'll use the logo we have on my card. Absolute normal
:12:19. > :12:31.
:12:31. > :12:38.card. I will hold that. You'll zoom I can't even do that in real life!
:12:38. > :12:45.That is really, really clever. Basically the ap:has turned that
:12:45. > :12:52.into interactive. How long does it take to create? It took two or
:12:52. > :12:58.three hours to put together. Potentially can it work on any
:12:58. > :13:02.image. Potential blily any image. We have about 20 designs at the
:13:02. > :13:08.moment and all have something different on them. What about the
:13:08. > :13:14.future? We have loads of exciting things planned. They're top secret
:13:14. > :13:20.at the moment. I'm sure you'll hear about it before Christmas. You hold
:13:20. > :13:26.him down, I'll get it out of him! The future holds more creative tee
:13:26. > :13:33.shirts like that. You guys at home make music by playing the piano,
:13:33. > :13:37.and the recorder, and violins... And don't forget computers. Go back
:13:37. > :13:44.20 years, things were different. A new theatre group came on to the
:13:44. > :13:54.scene and started making music out of all things. Dustbins, and plan -
:13:54. > :14:03.- Pans and mops. It's an anniversary of -- For them. He
:14:03. > :14:09.challenged them to make music from whatever they can find. They bank,
:14:09. > :14:16.and slap and stomp. They can make music out of everything from
:14:16. > :14:20.dustbin lids and to cars, they're called stamp stamp -- Stomp. Stomp
:14:20. > :14:26.is a nuclear combination of peraccusation and movement and
:14:26. > :14:34.visual comedy. The show has played over 15,000 performances worldwide
:14:34. > :14:39.and has been seen by over 14 million people. They can stomp with
:14:39. > :14:45.almost anything, enter -- Any where. A -- Including this place. They
:14:45. > :14:49.have been pounding and pounding and tapping on stage for 20 years. Luke
:14:49. > :14:56.has been around from the start. Can you take us back to the beginning.
:14:56. > :15:02.I started as a street performer as a drummer. I could not carry a drum
:15:02. > :15:08.kit. When you set up to play, you would find something to play.
:15:08. > :15:14.you have to be a drummer. I think anyone can do stomp, it's about
:15:14. > :15:19.using imagination, and making rhythms. Your hands make different
:15:19. > :15:24.sounds. There's loads of things you can do. You have to experiment and
:15:24. > :15:29.play. We have brought you to a breaker's yard with your cast for a
:15:29. > :15:35.reason. We have a challenge for you, to see if you can make a tune or
:15:35. > :15:40.rhythm out of anything you have got. We want to go around the yard and
:15:40. > :15:48.find the bits you need. And put it together for a performance. They
:15:48. > :15:57.have only got two hours to get themselves sorted. Don't try this
:15:57. > :16:07.at home! With a drum kit you have want to do, you want a base drum
:16:07. > :16:14.
:16:14. > :16:23.sound and a snare sound. Make exhausts... Tire rims, car doors.
:16:23. > :16:29.That's a great sound. The different parts of the metal give different
:16:29. > :16:36.sounds. This has a ring to it. If I let it go, it rings a little more
:16:36. > :16:41.than if I hold it. You're on a stage in a theatre normally with
:16:41. > :16:49.lights and microphoneed. Is it that different. You still play scrap
:16:49. > :16:54.metal on stage. It's all about objects you can find. Even those
:16:54. > :17:03.these are oilier, and dirtier, we'll be playing these kinds of
:17:03. > :17:09.things. The last time I was here there wasn't anything set up apart
:17:09. > :17:15.from a few cars in the background. It looks amazing. It has taken very
:17:15. > :17:21.little time to what I image is your stage. Like the old days. You have
:17:21. > :17:28.the variation sections, through to the base, and the snares. Are you
:17:28. > :17:34.trying to recreate that. That could be a snare tkwrum and a base drum.
:17:34. > :17:44.We're working out different rhythms. What the colours are. And how to
:17:44. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:49.put it together. She is working out how to slam doors... I 14 -- Should
:17:49. > :17:59.probably let them get on and rehearse. I've always wanted to
:17:59. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:10.have a little bit of a play on the drums. I link down something simple.
:18:10. > :18:15.
:18:16. > :18:20.I'll play four beats, one, two, three, four As easy as that. Can
:18:20. > :18:27.you make music out of anything. I'll leave it to the professionals.
:18:27. > :18:37.You have heard what a couple of items sound like. What about when
:18:37. > :18:37.
:18:37. > :20:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 90 seconds
:20:08. > :20:18.MUSIC : MUSIC. APPLAUSE. HOW AMAZING WAS THAT. THANKS TO THE
:20:18. > :20:25.
:20:25. > :20:30.TALENTED CAST OF STOMP. A LOAD OF OLD RUBBISH CAN SOUNDS Amazing. We
:20:30. > :20:37.performed at the do together last night and they didn't turn my
:20:37. > :20:47.microphone up! That's true. Barney is here, because he's rehearsing
:20:47. > :20:48.
:20:48. > :20:53.for a musical. He's musical. Oh no he isn't. You offended the dogs. If
:20:53. > :20:58.he could, he would have his fingers in his ears. We have had loads of
:20:58. > :21:04.questions in from our viewers. We have had loads of posts off the
:21:04. > :21:14.back of the pet show, lots of drawings from the -- Of the dogs.
:21:14. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:23.As barney has run away, I'll show you a picture from -- Of barney,...
:21:23. > :21:32.And now it's time to put the viewers' questions to you. Amy says
:21:32. > :21:39.what was your favourite subject at school. PE. How did it feel when
:21:39. > :21:46.you were -- Won 74 degrees north from Adam. That was really good.
:21:46. > :21:52.What do you want for Christmas. be a Blue Peter presenter ever day!
:21:53. > :21:57.How did you get involved in the army and why? I did it because I
:21:57. > :22:07.wanted to get into the police later on, I thought a few years in the
:22:07. > :22:13.Army, and then into the police. That's what I did. What has been
:22:13. > :22:23.your most difficult challenge. could say working with you, that's
:22:23. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:32.not true, the eyes swim. Do you have secret talent. I have very
:22:32. > :22:38.bendy thumbs! That's bizarre! -- Eyes swim. How did you prepare for
:22:38. > :22:46.the Arctic swim. I knew I did not want to go home first. I just
:22:46. > :22:52.nuclear yeled down. You were in the final with two girls. My army and
:22:52. > :23:02.police mates would have killed me if I lost to two girls. Would you
:23:02. > :23:03.
:23:03. > :23:08.rather eat Maggots or spiders and if so dead or alive? Lovely choice,
:23:08. > :23:18.marginally dead Maggots! Spiders would wriggle around. You would not
:23:18. > :23:19.
:23:19. > :23:25.want either in your tummy. If you had one wish? To fly. What is the
:23:25. > :23:31.most dangerous thing you have ever done. Arctic swim? Yeah. What did
:23:31. > :23:40.you want to be when you were younger. A stuntman. You never
:23:40. > :23:46.know! I'm freaked out by your thumbs. Equally impressed. I can't
