It is World Book Day, so we're joined by Children's Laureate,

7:01:517:01:54

illustrator and author Chris Riddell.

7:01:547:01:57

As well as that, we're going to be joined

7:01:577:01:59

-by top Blue Peter Book Awards judge Angellica Bell.

-Oh, yes.

7:01:597:02:02

And Barney takes an exclusive trip to mission control in Munich.

7:02:027:02:06

And as well as that,

7:02:067:02:07

you'll see the next part of my epic Wave Runner Challenge.

7:02:077:02:10

-Shall we get our show clothes on, guys?

-Yes.

-Let's do it!

7:02:107:02:13

Hello! And welcome to Blue Peter.

7:02:317:02:34

We are live, and this is our Book Award spectacular!

7:02:347:02:37

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

7:02:377:02:40

We are so excited today, and so are you lot at home,

7:02:407:02:43

because you've been deciding

7:02:437:02:44

who you would like to see Radzi Chinyanganya dress up as.

7:02:447:02:48

And it got over 50% of the vote, guys.

7:02:487:02:50

Do you want to find out who he is?

7:02:507:02:51

-ALL:

-Yes!

7:02:517:02:53

Radzi, out you come!

7:02:537:02:55

APPLAUSE

7:02:557:02:59

I am Paddington, from the book Paddington Bear,

7:02:597:03:03

-written by Michael Bond.

-You look amazing. Give us a little spin.

7:03:037:03:06

-I'm giving you the happy dance.

-And I am of course the White Witch.

7:03:067:03:09

I'll give you a spin as well.

7:03:097:03:10

From CS Lewis's book The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.

7:03:107:03:13

-I like it. You look awesome.

-Look how much hair I've got.

7:03:137:03:16

-You genuinely look good.

-Yeah.

7:03:167:03:19

Now, if you have been on the Blue Peter website,

7:03:197:03:21

then you'll have noticed that we've been asking you lot at home

7:03:217:03:24

to send in doodle ideas for author and illustrator Chris Riddell,

7:03:247:03:27

who is joined by Blue Peter Book Awards judge Angellica Bell.

7:03:277:03:31

Let's join them with a round of applause.

7:03:317:03:33

APPLAUSE

7:03:337:03:35

-Hi, guys.

-Hello. Good to see you.

7:03:357:03:37

I know that we are slightly overdressed, but Chris, Angellica -

7:03:377:03:40

-welcome to Blue Peter.

-Thank you.

7:03:407:03:42

Chris, before you even came here,

7:03:427:03:43

we asked you to do a big doodle especially for Blue Peter

7:03:437:03:46

with the theme of "little people doing unbelievable things"

7:03:467:03:49

and I tell you what, you haven't done it. You've done it and a half!

7:03:497:03:52

-Yeah!

-I've had fun. I've been drawing all afternoon.

7:03:527:03:54

-Wow!

-It's been great.

7:03:547:03:56

And you started off doing the ideas that we sent to you,

7:03:567:03:58

didn't you - so we've got Lindsey's here.

7:03:587:04:01

Riding a unicorn, eating cake!

7:04:017:04:03

-Of course, because what else would I want to do?!

-Exactly.

7:04:037:04:06

-On a unicorn, you've got to eat cake.

-You must.

-Very good idea.

7:04:067:04:09

Now, because I'm a shy, retiring type character, I asked you

7:04:097:04:12

to make me as a wrestler called the Bird Man with my very own wings.

7:04:127:04:15

Absolutely - very useful in a wrestling match,

7:04:157:04:17

particularly with a unicorn.

7:04:177:04:19

And I love my one.

7:04:197:04:21

I asked for a cute otter eating a yummy cake.

7:04:217:04:23

Absolutely, and here you are, Angellica. In the water.

7:04:237:04:26

-You look so...you look cute.

-Do I look cute?

7:04:267:04:29

-You look like a cute little...

-Let me finish.

7:04:297:04:31

Brilliant. But we're not the only ones who gave you suggestions.

7:04:317:04:34

We've had loads from viewers, and one we particularly liked

7:04:347:04:36

-was a sparkly pixie at the corner there.

-Oh, she's fun.

7:04:367:04:39

-She's really cute.

-Isn't she lovely? And very sparkly, very sparkly.

7:04:397:04:42

-And she's from Topaz Rocking Swan. Love the name.

-Rock on!

-Excellent.

7:04:427:04:46

Another we like is an owl wearing roller skates. Where's that?

7:04:467:04:49

-There he is.

-Oh, right in the middle. That's so good.

7:04:497:04:51

Yes, skating through the forest, as owls do.

7:04:517:04:53

Thank you very much to Cream Silky Llama. Thank you.

7:04:537:04:56

Lovely, excellent.

7:04:567:04:58

Now, if Chris has inspired you to get doodling,

7:04:587:05:01

jump on to the Blue Peter website

7:05:017:05:03

for all the tips and everything in between which you need.

7:05:037:05:06

Now, Chris and Angellica,

7:05:067:05:08

-it is actually by no...

-You can't speak!

-It's very interesting!

7:05:087:05:11

-Yeah, move that nose, yeah.

-Is that better?

7:05:117:05:13

-There you go, there you go.

-But I look better like that.

7:05:137:05:15

I'm going to keep it like that.

7:05:157:05:17

We'll be back for the Blue Peter Book Award a little bit later on.

7:05:177:05:19

We're loving books today, but of course,

7:05:197:05:21

we also love films here on Blue Peter

7:05:217:05:23

and if you love Jurassic World or War Horse,

7:05:237:05:25

or any of his classics, you are going to love this -

7:05:257:05:27

I'm going to hand over to the incredible Steven Spielberg.

7:05:277:05:30

-ALL:

-Whoo!

7:05:307:05:32

When you open a book, you can be transported to any place,

7:05:327:05:35

any time, anywhere. In the BFG,

7:05:357:05:38

a young girl named Sophie is taken on an incredible adventure.

7:05:387:05:41

She becomes friends with a Big Friendly Giant.

7:05:417:05:44

From there, she chases dreams, tricks giants,

7:05:447:05:47

and even meets a queen.

7:05:477:05:48

You know, a book can be like your very own BFG,

7:05:487:05:50

taking you to places you've never imagined.

7:05:507:05:53

Wow! He is such an incredible man.

7:05:547:05:58

And we're going to be asking you to dream big

7:05:587:06:01

for our brand-new Blue Peter competition,

7:06:017:06:03

and guess who's going to be on the judging panel?

7:06:037:06:06

-Tell me, Linds!

-None other than Steven Spielberg himself.

7:06:067:06:10

How incredible is that?!

7:06:107:06:12

So make sure you keep watching.

7:06:127:06:14

That is going to be so exciting.

7:06:147:06:16

Linds, that's off the charts.

7:06:167:06:17

Something else which is off the charts -

7:06:177:06:19

where have you been living for the last year?

7:06:197:06:21

-Manchester?

-So unless it's been in space,

7:06:217:06:24

you will know about our Blue Peter friend, British astronaut Tim Peake.

7:06:247:06:27

Check this out.

7:06:277:06:28

11.03am on 15 December 2015.

7:06:317:06:36

Major Tim Peake blasts off, complete with his mission patch,

7:06:367:06:39

designed by Blue Peter viewer Troy,

7:06:397:06:41

to take his place on the International Space Station,

7:06:417:06:44

where he'll be living and working for a total of six months.

7:06:447:06:49

Right now, Tim Peake is orbiting the Earth 250 miles that way,

7:06:517:06:56

and the people that look after him - well, they're just in there.

7:06:567:07:00

Oh, did I not say I'm in Germany?

7:07:017:07:03

Yeah, and that that is the control centre for Tim Peake's mission.

7:07:037:07:06

I probably should have said that, shouldn't I?

7:07:067:07:08

And because it's Blue Peter, we've got unique access to go inside

7:07:087:07:11

and have a look around and see how it all works

7:07:117:07:13

and you're invited as well.

7:07:137:07:14

Did I not say that? I probably should have done.

7:07:147:07:17

It's good, isn't it?

7:07:177:07:18

Since he lifted off, Britain has been gripped by Tim's mission,

7:07:187:07:22

and I am too.

7:07:227:07:24

So to be given the chance to see

7:07:247:07:25

behind the scenes of mission control is a real privilege.

7:07:257:07:29

Now, you may recognise this place from all the space movies

7:07:297:07:32

that you've seen, but this isn't a movie set. This is the real thing.

7:07:327:07:36

This is the control centre for the Columbus module

7:07:367:07:39

that Tim Peake is inside right now in space.

7:07:397:07:44

The International Space Station speeds around the Earth

7:07:447:07:46

at over 17,000mph, so it takes a team of flight directors down on

7:07:467:07:51

the ground to make sure everything runs smoothly in his module.

7:07:517:07:55

And the first person I'm going to meet is one of them.

7:07:557:07:58

Can you tell us what a flight director does?

7:07:597:08:01

Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty interesting

7:08:017:08:03

and cool thing that we are doing here.

7:08:037:08:05

We are in control of this module,

7:08:057:08:07

so we are responsible to maintain everything which is going on

7:08:077:08:10

in this module and we are also telling Tim

7:08:107:08:13

what kind of experiments he has to do - that is our job.

7:08:137:08:16

This is the position controlling actually the module,

7:08:167:08:19

so sending commands, opening valves,

7:08:197:08:22

controlling the temperature that astronauts are feeling -

7:08:227:08:25

that the atmosphere, the oxygen that they are breathing is OK.

7:08:257:08:29

On 15 January this year, Tim Peake became the first British European

7:08:297:08:34

Space Agency astronaut to perform what the guys here call an EVA -

7:08:347:08:38

or a spacewalk, to you and me.

7:08:387:08:41

When they do a spacewalk, that then goes somewhere else, doesn't it?

7:08:417:08:45

Yeah. I mean, this is being controlled from Houston,

7:08:457:08:48

which is in America, and that is the main control centre

7:08:487:08:52

for the space station.

7:08:527:08:54

Tim and his crewmate had to stop their spacewalk early

7:08:547:08:56

because one of their helmets was leaking, so things do go wrong.

7:08:567:09:00

And it's the mission director who is responsible for making sure

7:09:007:09:03

Tim is OK. For the Columbus module, that's Bertie.

7:09:037:09:07

-So you're in charge?

-Yes, I am.

7:09:077:09:09

Are you happy with what he's been doing in space?

7:09:097:09:11

Oh, he's fantastic. He's a fantastic team worker.

7:09:117:09:15

He's always in a good mood.

7:09:157:09:17

He has all these many tasks he has to do -

7:09:177:09:20

each minute is planned out on his day.

7:09:207:09:23

How do you communicate with Tim?

7:09:237:09:25

Cos it's not like you can just pick up the phone.

7:09:257:09:27

But he can. When there's a certain coverage with the satellites, he can

7:09:277:09:32

pick up the phone and call me on my mobile and he calls me in my office.

7:09:327:09:36

-That's really cool, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-To get a call from space.

-Yes.

7:09:367:09:39

Every Thursday, around midday,

7:09:427:09:44

the control centre here in Munich gets in touch with

7:09:447:09:46

the International Space Station to transfer information

7:09:467:09:49

and just make sure everyone is OK.

7:09:497:09:51

Wait a minute - today's Thursday.

7:09:517:09:53

It's around midday.

7:09:547:09:55

'I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but the team here have

7:09:587:10:01

'allowed me to sit in on one of their crew conferences.'

7:10:017:10:04

'Yes, this is a Houston contact.

7:10:047:10:06

'Are you ready for the crew conference?'

7:10:067:10:08

We are ready.

7:10:087:10:09

'I don't know why, but as we wait for the call to come through,

7:10:097:10:12

'I'm really nervous.

7:10:127:10:14

'And then, all of a sudden,

7:10:147:10:16

'I get the once-in-a-lifetime chance to talk to space.'

7:10:167:10:20

'Munich Station on space-to-ground 4.'

7:10:207:10:22

Tim, it's Barney. It's so good to see you. How are you?

7:10:227:10:25

Hello, Barney. And hi to Blue Peter.

7:10:257:10:27

How is it up there?

7:10:277:10:28

Barney, life on board is wonderful. We've already had two EVAs,

7:10:287:10:32

one of which I was able to get outside

7:10:327:10:34

the space station on, being kept very busy, and of course,

7:10:347:10:38

when we do get the odd

7:10:387:10:39

five minutes break, just going to the windows

7:10:397:10:42

and looking down on planet Earth is absolutely spectacular.

7:10:427:10:44

Obviously, you're wearing a Blue Peter badge.

7:10:447:10:47

We would love to see what would happen to that badge if it was to be

7:10:477:10:50

in an antigravity environment. Can you float that for us?

7:10:507:10:52

I've got another badge here for you, actually, another Blue Peter badge.

7:10:527:10:55

So, I'm going to put that up by the camera and show you what happens.

7:10:557:10:59

It's just going to float around.

7:10:597:11:01

Now, the thing with small objects, like this,

7:11:017:11:03

that don't have much mass, is they float around really easily.

7:11:037:11:07

You know, you let go of them for two minutes and look away

7:11:077:11:10

and they're gone, they'll go all over the place.

7:11:107:11:13

Listen, it's been so good to speak to you. And, yeah,

7:11:137:11:15

-we'll see you when you land. Thanks a lot.

-Fantastic, Barney.

7:11:157:11:17

Great speaking to you, too. And, yeah,

7:11:177:11:19

look forward to seeing you when I get back. Bye now.

7:11:197:11:22

I think that must be one of the coolest things ever.

7:11:257:11:28

I've never seen Barney so happy and giddy. Do you know what I mean?

7:11:287:11:32

OK, now it's time for the Blue Peter Book Awards 2016.

7:11:327:11:35

We are so excited. And to help us celebrate,

7:11:357:11:37

we are joined by top judge Angellica Bell and this lovely lot. Hello.

7:11:377:11:40

CHEERING

7:11:407:11:43

Hello, guys. Welcome to Blue Peter. Welcome to the studio.

7:11:437:11:46

Now, Angelica, you and some of the other judges,

7:11:467:11:49

you had to whittle down that shortlist to just six books.

7:11:497:11:52

-How did you do it? Was it tough?

-It was really tricky.

7:11:527:11:55

Obviously, all the books that we read were fantastic.

7:11:557:11:57

They each had their own themes and their own characters

7:11:577:12:00

and they were brilliant, but we had to whittle it down.

7:12:007:12:03

Three books in Best Story Book,

7:12:037:12:05

three books in Best Book With Facts.

7:12:057:12:07

And once we had those, they were sent off to 200 children

7:12:077:12:10

up and down the country, some of whom are with us now.

7:12:107:12:12

Thank you for being here. And they, really, had the hard job

7:12:127:12:15

of deciding the winner. So, let's ask you.

7:12:157:12:17

-How was it judging?

-I think the best thing about judging was that

7:12:177:12:22

you got to say your own opinion, instead of keeping it concealed.

7:12:227:12:25

Yeah, OK.

7:12:257:12:27

And what about you, was it difficult picking a favourite?

7:12:277:12:30

I really enjoyed judging the Book Awards, but the hardest

7:12:307:12:32

-thing was narrowing six books down to two.

-We want to find out who

7:12:327:12:35

-the winners are, don't we?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Let's find them out.

7:12:357:12:38

Blue Peter bookworms, thank you for being here.

7:12:387:12:40

There are, of course, two awards that are going to be given out.

7:12:407:12:43

So, to help us do that,

7:12:437:12:44

who better than children's Laureate's Chris Riddell?

7:12:447:12:47

CHEERING

7:12:477:12:50

Hello, Chris. Welcome to Blue Peter.

7:12:507:12:53

Thank you so much for being on today and doing this for us.

7:12:537:12:56

-Thank you for having me.

-Now, what shortlist it was.

-Oh, yes.

7:12:567:12:58

-Some pretty great books.

-Brilliant books, lovely books.

-Yeah.

7:12:587:13:01

And you're going to help us read out the winners, now, aren't you?

7:13:017:13:04

-Looking forward to it.

-Let's get to it. OK, the nominees

7:13:047:13:07

for Best Story Book are...

7:13:077:13:09

It's an emotional journey in the choppy waters

7:13:107:13:13

of family life in The Boy Who Sailed the Ocean in an Armchair,

7:13:137:13:17

by Lara Williamson.

7:13:177:13:19

If you turn green, do you have superhero powers?

7:13:197:13:22

Find out in The Astounding Broccoli Boy,

7:13:227:13:24

written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and illustrated by Steven Lenton.

7:13:247:13:28

The mystical shop that travels through time

7:13:287:13:31

and from place to place.

7:13:317:13:33

It's The Nowhere Emporium, by Ross Mackenzie.

7:13:337:13:35

CHEERING

7:13:357:13:37

-Wow, some incredible books. Chris, over to you.

-Oh, thank you.

7:13:377:13:40

Right. The winner is...

7:13:407:13:43

The Nowhere Emporium, by Ross Mackenzie.

7:13:437:13:46

CHEERING

7:13:467:13:49

Yay! Ross, a huge, huge well done.

7:13:497:13:53

Thank you for being on Blue Peter as well.

7:13:537:13:55

What does it feel like to be holding that award?

7:13:557:13:57

Oh, wow.. Amazing, fantastic.

7:13:577:14:00

To win any award is always special, but this one is extra special,

7:14:007:14:04

because the readers decide who wins.

7:14:047:14:06

7:14:067:14:09

The Emporium, who voted for it and, of course,

7:14:097:14:11

thank you to you guys for playing your part as well.

7:14:117:14:13

Well, congratulations, Ross. And I've got Cameron here, who wants

7:14:137:14:16

to tell us what he thought of your book, The Nowhere Emporium.

7:14:167:14:19

Well, I really like Doctor Who and this book was about time travel

7:14:197:14:21

-and a rollercoaster of emotion.

-Yeah.

7:14:217:14:23

-Well, you've got two fans here.

-I love it.

7:14:237:14:26

Well, well done. And it's time for the next award.

7:14:267:14:29

So, the nominees for the Best Book With Facts are...

7:14:297:14:32

Animals, human life and the world around us.

7:14:337:14:37

Test yourself and your friends with Fact Feed, by Penelope Arlon.

7:14:377:14:40

The info is quirky

7:14:407:14:42

and the pictures are perky in The Epic Book Of Epicness,

7:14:427:14:45

by Adam Frost.

7:14:457:14:47

The Silly Book Of Weird And Wacky Words, by Andy Seed

7:14:477:14:50

and illustrated by Scott Garrett,

7:14:507:14:52

is packed with puns, stuffed with spoonerisms

7:14:527:14:55

and teetering with tongue twisters.

7:14:557:14:58

CHEERING

7:14:587:15:00

Wow, Chris, OK, once again, do the honours.

7:15:007:15:03

And the winner is,

7:15:037:15:05

The Epic Book Of Epicness, by Adam Frost.

7:15:057:15:07

CHEERING

7:15:077:15:10

Adam, well done, congratulations.

7:15:107:15:12

Thanks.

7:15:127:15:14

How does it feel to be here and to actually be holding that award?

7:15:147:15:18

It's amazing. I loved Blue Peter when I was a kid,

7:15:187:15:21

I now watch it with my own kids.

7:15:217:15:24

The fact that children voted for this makes it incredibly special.

7:15:247:15:28

-Thank you so much.

-Well done, Adam. And Obers here

7:15:287:15:31

-thinks your book was pretty epic, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

7:15:317:15:34

-Did you enjoy it?

-Yeah, because of the eye-popping pictures

7:15:347:15:38

-and amazing facts.

-Yes. Well done.

7:15:387:15:43

Well, well done, to both our winners. Thank you so much.

7:15:437:15:46

And now, it's time for something just a little bit special.

7:15:467:15:48

It has been a really, really amazing show today.

7:15:487:15:51

Chris, you didn't know we were going to do this,

7:15:517:15:53

because we didn't do it in rehearsal. So, this is a bit

7:15:537:15:55

of a shock to you, but, of course, you have inspired

7:15:557:15:58

so many kids to get reading, to love books and to love illustration.

7:15:587:16:01

And we really take our hats off to you here on Blue Peter.

7:16:017:16:05

Our highest accolade is, of course, the Blue Peter Gold badge.

7:16:057:16:08

HE GASPS

7:16:087:16:09

CHEERING

7:16:097:16:11

So, Chris, it's a pleasure to give you your very own.

7:16:117:16:14

-Congratulations.

-Oh, my goodness. This is such an honour.

7:16:147:16:17

This is absolutely the honour of a lifetime, I've got to say.

7:16:177:16:22

I've watched Blue Peter ever since I was very, very small

7:16:227:16:26

and this is lovely. I'm going to wear this with pride. Thank you.

7:16:267:16:29

Well, you've earned it. A round of applause for Chris.

7:16:297:16:31

CHEERING

7:16:317:16:33

Well done. Congratulations.

7:16:337:16:35

Well, I don't know how we're going to top that,

7:16:357:16:37

but we are going to have a go.

7:16:377:16:38

Here with the all-singing, all-dancing performance,

7:16:387:16:41

we've got the cast of Mary Poppins - The Musical.

7:16:417:16:43

I've got one word for you all, cos it's Book Day -

7:16:437:16:45

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

7:16:457:16:47

THEY CHEER

7:17:007:17:02

-That's not a word!

-Of course it's a word.

7:17:027:17:05

And unless I'm very much mistaken,

7:17:057:17:07

I think it's going to prove a rather useful one.

# When trying to express oneself it's frankly quite absurd

CHEERING

7:20:437:20:45

Wow, guys, that was absolutely amazing.

7:20:497:20:52

Come on over for a little chat.

7:20:527:20:53

Now, Zizi, that was the incredible Mary Poppins.

7:20:537:20:56

Everyone kind of knows it, but for those who've forgotten

7:20:567:20:58

the story, tell us a little bit about it.

7:20:587:21:00

Well, there's a family in Edwardian times and they've kind of

7:21:007:21:04

forgotten how to be happy and are having a bit of a hard time.

7:21:047:21:06

So the magical Nanny Mary Poppins comes to save the day.

7:21:067:21:09

-And, Madeline, you play Jane Banks, that's right, isn't it?

-Yes.

7:21:097:21:12

How do you remember all those letters?

7:21:127:21:14

That looks impossible, but you all did it very well.

7:21:147:21:17

Well, we started learning them in the first week of rehearsals

7:21:177:21:19

-and we still have to practise them a lot.

-I bet.

7:21:197:21:22

That is tough, but you did it very well.

7:21:227:21:25

And Regan, you play Michael Banks. Is it hard to saying and dance

7:21:257:21:28

and do all of that at the same time?

7:21:287:21:30

It's quite difficult, but we have a lot of practice in rehearsals

7:21:307:21:33

and it's really fun, so it makes it OK.

7:21:337:21:36

Yeah, it looks like you have a lot of fun.

7:21:367:21:39

Just quickly, Matt, you're holding something very special there,

7:21:397:21:41

-aren't you?

-Yes, the show is actually based on a series of books,

7:21:417:21:44

written by PL Travers. And we've got some illustrations in here also.

7:21:447:21:47

-Wow.

-Yeah, it was written in 1934.

7:21:477:21:49

And that's one of the first publications. That's so exciting

7:21:497:21:52

to have that here. It's worth thousands of pounds as well,

7:21:527:21:55

-very special on World Book Day.

-Yeah.

7:21:557:21:56

Guys, thank you so, so much for coming in.

7:21:567:21:59

And, on to something a little bit different.

7:21:597:22:01

If you're wondering how I could cross the sea

7:22:017:22:03

in a giant inflatable ball, you're about to find out.

7:22:037:22:05

It needed a big helping hand from the RNLI and, luckily, they were

7:22:057:22:09

right there throughout my epic Wave Runner challenge

7:22:097:22:12

for Sport Relief.

7:22:127:22:14

Last week on Blue Peter,

7:22:157:22:18

I was set my epic Sport Relief challenge to run across

7:22:187:22:21

the Irish Sea, something that's never been done before.

7:22:217:22:26

Our top engineers created my souped up sea-crossing machine.

7:22:267:22:31

Professor Greg White set me an intensive training schedule.

7:22:317:22:34

Keep driving, keep driving.

7:22:347:22:36

And I took the first steps in my incredible craft.

7:22:367:22:40

SHE SCREAMS

7:22:407:22:43

This is the Wave Runner.

7:22:437:22:46

Being on the water for the first time,

7:22:467:22:49

it became clear that my training needed to change.

7:22:497:22:52

'So far, I've been working on my legs,

7:22:527:22:54

'but now I know I'll rely just as much on my arms.'

7:22:547:22:58

This is horrible.

7:22:587:23:00

# Now if you know what I know you You need to work it out. #

7:23:007:23:02

'If I'm to run over 20 miles across the sea,

7:23:027:23:05

'I need hit the gym virtually every day.'

7:23:057:23:08

SHE SIGHS

7:23:087:23:09

-Good to go?

-Yeah.

-Fast hands.

7:23:097:23:11

'Doing exercises that build up every muscle in my body.'

7:23:117:23:14

I feel sick.

7:23:147:23:16

'And that means pushing myself harder than I ever have before.

7:23:167:23:20

'So, that's me, but what about my wave-running machine?'

7:23:207:23:24

It's time for its next test, sea conditions.

7:23:247:23:27

But we're not quite ready for the open ocean yet.

7:23:277:23:30

If I'm going to be a waverunner, I'm going to need waves

7:23:307:23:32

and that's why I've come here, to the RNLI Sea Survival Centre.

7:23:327:23:36

You know what? I think I've found my waves.

7:23:367:23:39

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity

7:23:407:23:43

that saves lives at sea.

7:23:437:23:45

Their teams of highly trained volunteers have rescued

7:23:457:23:48

over 141,000 people.

7:23:487:23:51

Today, their lifeguards are helping us to understand how my ball

7:23:527:23:55

will react to open water in this special pool, which mimics the sea.

7:23:557:23:59

We're hoping to see what happens with wavy conditions

7:23:597:24:02

and things like that.

7:24:027:24:04

And see if the ball actually capsizes or not.

7:24:047:24:06

Hopefully, fingers crossed, it's all OK.

7:24:067:24:08

So, this is it, first time with the wave machine on.

7:24:117:24:15

Ooh!

7:24:157:24:17

I'm really bobbing up and down now.

7:24:177:24:21

'Already, the difference to calm water is incredible,

7:24:217:24:24

'and I've got to move in this.'

7:24:247:24:26

OK, here we go.

7:24:267:24:28

It's moving.

7:24:287:24:30

I'm all over the place. Argh!

7:24:307:24:32

'It's so tough to keep my balance

7:24:327:24:35

'and these waves are only one metre high.'

7:24:357:24:38

Whoa! Oh, my goodness.

7:24:387:24:40

'I manage to get to the end of the pool,

7:24:407:24:43

'but it's really taken it out of me.'

7:24:437:24:45

Do you know what? That was near impossible.

7:24:457:24:48

Those one-metre waves are tough.

7:24:487:24:51

And if it was like that for the real challenge, it's not happening.

7:24:517:24:55

'And that's not all. Part of my challenge

7:24:557:24:58

'could take place at night,

7:24:587:25:00

'so it's time to turn the lights out.'

7:25:007:25:03

Oh, whoa!

7:25:037:25:05

This is terrifying.

7:25:057:25:07

SHE SCREAMS

7:25:077:25:09

'I can barely see where I'm going,

7:25:097:25:11

'but I somehow manage a length of the pool.'

7:25:117:25:14

I did it!

7:25:147:25:17

The RNLI test has shown us we are far from ready for the sea.

7:25:177:25:21

So whilst the engineers return the waverunner to the workshop

7:25:217:25:24

for further improvements, it's back to the gym for me.

7:25:247:25:27

And a few weeks later, we're ready to train on the water again.

7:25:297:25:34

OK, here we go.

7:25:347:25:36

'At first, I feel like I'm doing OK.

7:25:387:25:40

'But then the winds pick up and it makes it really hard

7:25:427:25:45

'for me to keep my rhythm.'

7:25:457:25:47

Urgh!

7:25:497:25:51

'Try as I might, I just can't keep it going.'

7:25:517:25:53

I'm so tired.

7:25:537:25:55

'And the frustration really gets to me.'

7:25:567:25:59

I think I just thought today was going to be a lot easier than it is.

7:26:017:26:05

I'm drenched in there and cold and I can't get it to go.

7:26:057:26:08

I don't see how I'm meant to get from one country to another in that.

7:26:087:26:13

It doesn't seem possible.

7:26:137:26:15

'I'm at an all-time low.'

7:26:157:26:17

'So the Sport Relief team arrange for me

7:26:177:26:20

'to meet one of my heroes, TV presenter Davina McCall.'

7:26:207:26:23

In 2014, Davina ran,

7:26:237:26:25

swam and cycled an incredible 500 miles for Sport Relief.

7:26:257:26:30

How did she find the strength to keep going?

7:26:307:26:32

I ask her over a cup of tea.

7:26:327:26:35

I found I had a lot more in me than I thought I did

7:26:357:26:38

and that's been an amazing journey for me.

7:26:387:26:41

I think that's quite a cool thing to discover, isn't it?

7:26:417:26:43

Why do we do Sport Relief?

7:26:437:26:46

I think I've just been to see some amazing projects

7:26:467:26:48

and I've seen the difference that it makes.

7:26:487:26:51

You help one person, then they grow up having a better life

7:26:517:26:54

and they can, in turn, help others and help others

7:26:547:26:56

-and it's like a mushroom effect.

-Yeah.

7:26:567:26:59

So, when we're raising, or you're raising money, at home

7:26:597:27:02

all of it goes to good causes and it really,

7:27:027:27:04

massively makes a difference. And that's what keeps me going.

7:27:047:27:09

-Really, really, really good luck.

-Thank you.

7:27:097:27:11

-We'll be thinking of you.

-Will you come with me and do it for me?

7:27:117:27:15

-No.

-OK, that's fine.

7:27:157:27:17

Meeting Davina has genuinely inspired me.

7:27:177:27:20

So it's back to the water to give it another go.

7:27:207:27:23

I dig deep and remember Davina's words.

7:27:267:27:30

Slowly but surely, step by step, I'm starting to find my rhythm.

7:27:307:27:34

Finally, after two months, I am wave-running.

7:27:387:27:41

We are flying, Lindsey, fast as ever.

7:27:427:27:45

I actually got quite into it then.

7:27:457:27:47

I managed to just switch off and just go into waverunner mode.

7:27:477:27:51

It was quite nice. Everything feels possible.

7:27:517:27:53

Next week, my gruelling training regime catches up with me.

7:27:577:28:00

Ow, that's really bad.

7:28:007:28:02

And I finally face the sea for the first time.

7:28:027:28:05

It is scaring me.

7:28:057:28:07

Can I become the waverunner?

7:28:077:28:10

So, make sure you're watching next week, if you want to find out.

7:28:127:28:14

And I just want to take one second to thank everybody at home,

7:28:147:28:17

all the Blue Peter viewers and the fans for giving me

7:28:177:28:20

all those good luck messages when I did it last week.

7:28:207:28:22

Thank you so much. I did read all of them on the Blue Peter website

7:28:227:28:25

and they meant the world. Thank you.

7:28:257:28:27

It is an unbelievable Sports Relief challenge.

7:28:277:28:29

It's not just on Blue Peter that Sport Relief challenges happen.

7:28:297:28:32

-There's one taking place behind us as we speak.

-Right behind us.

7:28:327:28:34

And to help explain more is all-time top Premier League

7:28:347:28:37

goal-scorer Alan Shearer and Welsh football legend Robbie Savage.

7:28:377:28:40

-Good intros, guys?

-Very good.

7:28:407:28:42

We've met somewhere before, haven't we?

7:28:427:28:45

-Alan, I'll start with yourself, what is going on?

-57 hours,

7:28:457:28:48

from nine o'clock this morning until 6.15 on Saturday evening,

7:28:487:28:52

five-a-side football, over 1,000 people.

7:28:527:28:56

Robbie's done eight and a half hours now. I've done three or four,

7:28:567:28:59

I think. My 12-hour stint has to come tomorrow,

7:28:597:29:02

from eight till eight. Robbie's struggling a bit at the minute.

7:29:027:29:05

His back's hurting and my knees are hurting, but we're doing OK.

7:29:057:29:08

I actually had a go myself earlier. I embarrassed myself,

7:29:087:29:10

-I'm going to be completely honest.

-Let's have a look.

7:29:107:29:13

-Here's some of the footage now. There I am there.

-You got stuck in.

7:29:137:29:15

Stuck in is the word I'd use.

7:29:157:29:17

Oh, that's you, I didn't recognise you with your hat on.

7:29:177:29:20

THEY LAUGH

7:29:207:29:22

-You did well. Well done.

-So, you're talking about injuries,

7:29:227:29:24

you're talking about feeling a little bit fatigued,

7:29:247:29:27

can we do it, can we make it to the finish line? Hopefully, today,

7:29:277:29:30

-yeah.

-As Alan said, I'm eight and a half hours in. No, six hours in,

7:29:307:29:33

-I still got the...

-You've lost track.

-Yeah, I'm so tired.

7:29:337:29:36

My back is killing me. We're just walking around now.

7:29:367:29:38

But we started off really bright, really aggressive, didn't we?

7:29:387:29:41

Running around like we were in the youth team still,

7:29:417:29:44

I didn't realise we had another eight hours to go this morning.

7:29:447:29:47

-I'm paying for it now.

-Oh, dear.

7:29:477:29:48

But you think you can make it to the finish line?

7:29:487:29:50

Of course, it is all for an amazing cause, Sport Relief.

7:29:507:29:53

Just quickly, why do you think

7:29:537:29:54

-it's so important is that you're out there doing this?

-Well, this is

7:29:547:29:58

Robbie's second challenge, it's my third challenge. I did a cycle ride

7:29:587:30:01

a few years ago, and the Wembley challenge a couple of years ago

7:30:017:30:04

and that was over £500,000 we raised. So, if we can raise

7:30:047:30:06

that again then the Premier League will match that.

7:30:067:30:09

-So, fingers crossed.

-Massive good luck.

7:30:097:30:10

Fingers and paws crossed here.

7:30:107:30:12

Now, Alan, Robbie, I've been sent in to tell you

7:30:127:30:14

-to get back on the pitch.

-That's right, go on. Limp back.

7:30:147:30:17

Just time to tell you what is coming up next week's show.

7:30:177:30:20

Make sure you're watching,

7:30:207:30:22

cos we're going behind the scenes on the amazing Kung Fu Panda 3.

7:30:227:30:26

One of my favourite trips I've been on. I can't believe

7:30:267:30:28

I'm saying this, Barney was in the Batmobile, THE Batmobile.

7:30:287:30:32

I'm jealous. I'm jealous.

7:30:327:30:34

As well as that, we're going to be joined in the studio by Lawson,

7:30:347:30:37

-singing their brand-new single.

-Lindsey and I will be going

7:30:377:30:39

head to head in a lip-sync battle. More will be explained next week.

7:30:397:30:42

It sounds good! Can I come back next week?

7:30:427:30:44

-You're welcome any time.

-Come back, that's it, done.

7:30:447:30:46

-Bye!

-See you next week.

-Bye!
