It's All About the Badge Blue Peter

Today is a very special Blue Peter because it is all about the badges

and I've got them just hidden away here ready for the live show.

Yep, Linds, it is all about the badgers.

No, Radzi, I knew you'd do this.

Badges, not badgers. Just get out.

CHEERING

-Hello!

-Hello!

-And welcome to today's live Blue Peter,

which, as we said, we're very excited.

It is all about the badge, isn't it, Radz?

It is indeed, Lindsey Russell.

Feast your eyes upon this little beauty.

This is just one you can collect and I'm excited.

That's right, and if I open this beautiful little chest,

look, there they all are, all the others sparkling

with a bit of razzle and dazzle in there.

All the ones you can collect.

I absolutely love it when it makes that noise as you open it.

-I know. Ooh!

-Linz, what's coming up on today's show?

Let me tell you, because we've got some famous faces

showing you how they earned their badges.

That's right, as well as that, you'll see the moment that

we turned in to lovely little pop stars as we celebrate

the reason it's so important for you to send in your letters.

We'll be showing you our song performance a little bit later on.

That's a song I'll never forget and I'll also never forget

meeting Myah when she won her orange competition badge

and she's going to be in telling us what it was like

to actually appear in the brand-new series of Wolfblood.

-It's so exciting. It's a good show...

-Happy dance.

..and we'd like to hear from you. Maybe you've got a badge,

maybe you've got two, maybe you're trying to collect them all.

I know I am. Whatever it is, head online, head to the website

and leave us a comment. At the end of the show, we'll read out

-as many as we can. I'm going to put this down.

-Put it down!

It is time to walk this way because they're here

to earn their first ever Blue Peter badges.

Please welcome the wonderful Jagmac.

CHEERING

Oh, my goodness!

Jagmac, I can't stop boogieing along. What a catchy song!

Welcome to Blue Peter and a fab job on getting all your badges.

Why, thank you!

So glad to be here.

We're so happy to have you here. You're so energetic, we love it.

Now, Jagmac, bit of a strange name. Where did that come from?

Yes, well, we're actually all brothers and sisters, one family

and Jagmac stands for the letter of each of our first names

-from the youngest to oldest, so it all worked out.

-OK.

Well, it certainly did. What brings you to Salford

-and to the UK at the moment?

-Well, we've actually been

in the UK for a month now and we just finished touring

with Little Mix. That was absolutely amazing!

Now, we are huge Little Mix fans as well,

here on Blue Peter. Have you got any goss for us from the tour?

No gossip, they're such sweet girls.

But one incident that happened was we were performing

-and all of a sudden our music cut out...

-Uh-oh.

So we had to sing a capella and interact with the fans

for about ten minutes. But the music kicked back on

and we were able to finish it up and it actually worked out

-in our favour.

-It's cos you're pros.

See, if I was in a band with my brothers, we could not that.

-The show must go on!

-No, that wouldn't happen.

Now, you've got a new single, So Good, which you just performed

-and it was so great.

-Thank you!

-When is it out?

It's available right now, you can go and download it

-and you can watch our music video for it.

-Go check it out.

We will, and we've got some news for you, Blue Peter viewers.

This is a band of many, many talents.

It's not just singing, dancing and being great siblings to each other,

you also have another talent, don't you?

Yes, we do have one more special treat up our sleeves, so...

We all do the martial arts, we're all black belts in Eskrima

and taekwondo. We've been doing it since we were three years old.

That is just beyond cool.

-Thank you!

-I want to join this band ASAP!

Listen, you've got a little demo, haven't you, for us?

-We do.

-It's Blue Peter, so we'd love to see it.

-Take it away, guys, good luck.

-We hope you're ready!

Salute!

Bow.

Ki Hup!

A-ya!

THEY GRUNT

THEY GRUNT

A-ya!

CHEERING

CHEERING

Five, six, seven, let's go!

A-ya!

CHEERING

Wow, wow, wow!

Guys, I didn't know where to look. That was incredible.

Thank you so much for coming on Blue Peter.

-Jagmac, everybody!

-Thanks for having us.

And if you want even more where that came from, head online

because you can see them all doing a bit of ninja there.

It's a great game.

Now, Jagmac aren't the only famous faces to earn themselves

a Blue Peter badge.

Check this out.

It's iconic, historic

and, uh...mesemonic?

I don't know if that's a word, but what I do know

is that over the last 12 months, some of the world's great and good

couldn't wait to get their hands on a Blue Peter badge.

Ooh!

We've had some of the biggest names from the world of sport.

You are a global inspiration, which is why we'd like to give you

your very own Blue Peter sport badge 2015.

Thank you so much!

We'd like to give you your very own Blue Peter sport badge 2015.

We think you more than deserve it.

Oh, thank you, and, you know, to all the kids out there,

just work hard and enjoy what you do and run more miles.

And we've met superstars that sparkle in the galaxy of showbiz.

There you go with your Blue Peter badge.

-Oh!

-Thank you very much.

-I love it.

-It's awesome.

-This is the Blue Peter badge!

Thank you!

Well done on your first ever Blue Peter badge.

Thank you, how amazing!

This is as exciting as a Christmas number one.

And well done on getting a badge! How does that feel?

Thank you, thank you. I love it. I love it already.

Your very own Blue Peter badge,

cos I know you haven't got one.

You're not going to take it away from me, are you?

-No.

-You're not going to hand it over and go,

-"Sorry, we're only joking."

-That's yours.

-Can I literally hold on to it?

-You may have it,

you may wear it with pride.

'A lucky few have come back for their silver badge.'

CHEERING

Wow! Thank you!

You get a silver badge.

Oh, my gosh!

Not many people have one of those.

This is an honour, truly.

Nice!

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

'And some have even earned the most prestigious badge of all.'

The Blue Peter gold badge.

This is absolutely the honour of a lifetime.

Congratulations, and thank you so much.

Oh, Lindsey, I am so happy.

-Look at this, look!

-Look at that!

Woo!

APPLAUSE

We would like to give you your very own gold Blue Peter badge

-for being such a legend.

-CHEERING

-It's a real pleasure, thank you.

-That is totally fantastic!

That is a dream come true.

Oh, and there's one person who's taken the Blue Peter badge

out of this world, literally.

Now, the thing with small objects like this that don't have much mass

is they float around really easily.

You let go of them for two minutes and look away and they're gone.

They'll go all over the place.

Listen, it's been so good to speak to you

and we'll see you when you land, thanks a lot.

Fantastic, Barney, great speaking to you too

and I look forward to seeing you when I get back.

Bye now.

Hopefully that's inspired you to get yours.

So, what are you waiting for?

It's all about the badge!

Did you see how many famous faces there were?

-A lot of celebs.

-Legends on there!

Now, however, it's time to talk about the big badge wall.

Look at this week, filled to absolute breaking point,

once again, with all of your lovely post.

If you can see your post in there by the way,

you've earned yourself a Blue Peter badge,

so congratulations and if you do get yourself a Blue Peter badge,

then you get access to over

200 attractions in the UK for free!

And also, while you see the Blue Peter website there,

it's also useful just to remember - go on there,

because we do have some updates about some new attractions

-that you can get in.

-Ooh.

But less about the website and more about Jonathan from London,

-who sent in this fantastic canvas bag...

-Aww.

..with all of our faces on, as a caricature style

and he's earned himself a blue badge.

Jonathan, well done, you are a legend.

Now, Manon, who's 11 from Ceredigion - yes, I said it right -

got themselves... Thank you very much, I've practised that

all day that bit.

Wrote, "Why are bees important to our planet? Ecospecial."

And if I open this amazing leaflet, that's why.

Manon, you're amazing, you've earned yourselves a green badge.

Well done, you.

Now Sophie from Somerset... Sorry, Olivia, rather,

thank you so, so much. I'm going to read out why.

She sent in a purple badge application form and on it

she says, "This really opened my eyes that 50 years ago,

"people wouldn't even be able to talk to someone

"just because of their skin colour" and, Olivia,

because of your fantastic letter, you've earned your very own

Blue Peter purple badge, right there.

Now, we all love the silver badge here on Blue Peter

and someone who's earned that is the brilliant Alexander,

who's eight, from South Gloucestershire.

Look at that, it's me, Barney and Radzi.

We've all got our little instruments, we're wiggling about

playing the letters song.

Thank you so much, and if you missed the letters song on Blue Peter

a few weeks ago, and you want to know why sending in your post to us

is so important, have a look at this.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes! Keep on sending us your post.

That couldn't be any more important than right now,

because we've actually stopped accepting e-mail badge applications,

so send in your post and somebody who did just that is Myah.

Myah won our Wild Wolfblood competition

and as well as earning herself an orange badge,

she also got to appear in the brand-new series of Wolfblood.

And here is the exclusive behind-the-scenes access

of that unforgettable day.

-HOWLING

-In 2015,

Blue Peter ran its wildest competition ever.

We gave you the incredible chance

to appear in one of CBBC's biggest dramas -

the brand-new series of Wolfblood.

We asked you to design your very own Wild Wolfblood character,

complete with costume, and hundreds of you entered.

After looking through some brilliant wolfy entries,

we had a very difficult decision to make.

Our winner of the Wild Wolfblood competition is...

Myah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Myah had won the chance to wear her fantastic costume

in an actual scene from the new series.

How cool is that?

'And when I went to tell her the news, boy, was she surprised.'

My name's Radzi, from Blue Peter. Can I get a high-five?

-LAUGHING:

-Oh, my...!

And today is the day

when Myah gets to enjoy that prize right here on the set of Wolfblood.

Myah, straight up top.

-How are you feeling?

-Good.

-Can you believe that we are actually here on the set?

-No.

So, first things first,

methinks the girl does need a costume.

I'm going to race you to it. Three, two...

We're off to meet Sarah in the costume department.

-Sarah, good to see you.

-Hi.

-What have you got today?

We've got Myah's lovely costume just through here.

-Myah, are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's see it.

Yes! Amazing.

You look the real deal.

-All we need now is some make-up.

-OK.

-This way, please.

This is Myah, our Blue Peter competition winner.

-Hello.

-Nice to meet you.

The next stage of the Wolfblood transformation -

using make-up to mess up Myah's hands and face.

These hair extensions were made especially for you.

Now the reason we do all the different-coloured hair

is to reflect the different colours of fur that they have

when they turn into a wolf.

Here she is! You definitely look wild, Myah.

Bad news, though - we're running a bit late.

-We need to get on set right now.

-OK.

-This way, come on!

Myah is about to appear in a scene set in the woods

and whilst the camera team get themselves ready,

the cast begin their rehearsals.

Turning - nice and quiet, please.

And who better for Myah to get some tips from

than Gabrielle and Louis, who play Katrina and TJ?

Gabrielle and Louis, what's it like to be on Wolfblood?

It's, yeah - the best job in the world.

-You look like you have a lot of fun.

-We do have a lot of fun.

Hey - where you going? Selena!

Jealous. Told you.

Now, Myah today is making her Wolfblood debut.

-You've definitely got the best costume.

-Yeah.

-100%.

-Do you have any tips?

-Being yourself is the most important thing,

especially on a set like this, because to be fun and have morale

really keeps everything going.

On that note, I think we need to get on with it.

Action!

But before Myah does her scene,

there is time for a quick rehearsal with the show's director.

So, what we'll do is we'll do a line run of this scene, first.

There's how many of you? All in secret?

-Rehearsal's over.

-Yeah.

The next time you're going to be standing in front of the camera...

-OK.

-..it'll be getting recorded for TV,

on the actual series of Wolfblood.

-Are you nervous?

-A little bit.

Good luck. See you out there.

And there's just enough time for some final touches.

Myah is about to make her Wolfblood debut.

THEY LAUGH

Myah has a really important job -

to laugh at exactly the right time

and to make it look completely natural.

Action!

And he put face paint on me,

but he never showed me how to paint it on.

Will you show me? I want to look like you.

Oh...OK, then.

It looks so funny.

LAUGHTER

Cut!

How natural does she look?

Myah, what a performance.

Right there - good job. Thank you.

'And there's on more surprise in store for Myah.'

-It's only Leona!

-Hello!

-Hello - how are you?

-Good, thank you. How are you?

-I'm very well, thank you.

-What's been your favourite part?

-The filming.

-We had to laugh at Katrina with her make-up on.

-Amazing.

Talking about hair and make-up,

-you've had your hair and make-up for the show.

-Yeah.

And what about your hands, as well?

Made them look all dirty and really, like...gungy.

Do you think we've got a potential Wolfblood star in the making, here?

I think so. (I think you're better than me.)

THEY LAUGH

You're definitely better than me.

-For old times' sake, shall we do one big howl?

-OK.

-Shall we?

One, two, three...

ALL: Ha-ooooh!

Very good.

So you've seen her on Wolfblood,

it's now time to welcome her to the studio.

Would you please give it up for Myah?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome!

Take a seat, Myah.

So, it is official -

-you are now a member of the Wolfblood cast.

-Yeah.

-How does that make you feel?

-Really good.

I didn't know I'd be on one of my favourite CBBC programmes.

I can't imagine what that would be like.

What was it like, actually watching it go out yesterday on TV?

It was amazing - I just didn't think I'd see myself on TV.

You were very natural, by the way. Can we talk about your costume?

Cos that's what you won the competition for.

Can you talk us through it? It was very, very lovely.

Well, for my hair, I had leaves and...other bits.

You can see it there. You completely fit in.

Yeah, and then I had rabbit...

-Well, I had fur on my...to keep me warm.

-Yeah.

-And then I had a green dress to match the woods.

-Yes.

And...that was it, really.

What was amazing was none of it was real, but it looked so, so real.

-Yeah.

-It was really fantastic.

How long did it take to put the whole thing together?

-About a week.

-An entire week?

-Yeah.

Well, that is why you won the competition, clearly.

And being there, being on TV,

has it made you think perhaps you want to work on TV?

Yeah. I'd like to be on Wolfblood again.

I'd like to have a role in The Dumping Ground

-and I'd like to be a Blue Peter presenter when I'm older.

-Would you?

-How old are you?

-10. 11 in two weeks.

11 - so, happy birthday for two weeks, first of all.

-Thank you.

-When I was 11-in-two-weeks,

I wanted to be a Blue Peter presenter as well,

so anything is possible.

In fact, you've heard it here first.

Would you please give it up for our competition winner,

our orange badge winner,

and future Blue Peter presenter, Myah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You know what? Blue Peter is of course a live show,

which means anything can happen,

especially when you're playing our game Blue Peter Storyteller.

Check this out...

I am now in the Blue Peter gallery - how cool is that?

Or...click again... Wahey!

I'm on the sea, and I can even add my little wave-running machine.

How great is that?

Linds, I can be in charge as well.

-We're in the Blue Peter garden now.

-Radzi!

-What are you doing?

-I'm even going to add two of our friends -

-Iggy and Shelley.

-Hi, guys!

And just for Myah, I'm going to bring in a wolf.

HE HOWLS I'm a bit scared of wolves.

You know what, I think we should be back in the studio.

-Oh, phew - there we go.

-If you're going to do that, Linds,

I'm going to join you as well.

-Not me - my animated friend.

-Oh! Hello!

And he can make you say what you're thinking.

You're saying, "Radzi, you're the best Blue Peter presenter ever."

-I'm not saying that.

-And Barney - let's bring Barney in.

-There he is.

-Look! We're all back together.

-He's saying, "I want one!"

-Oh, sorry! In the face, then!

You know what? You can have a go as well.

It's on our website at the moment, head to there -

you can tell jokes, you can make your own scenes,

make it up as you go along, and it'll be better than ours.

-That wasn't very good.

-It'll be lots better than ours,

but loads of you have done that already, in fact,

including Pearl Quirky Magnolia, who's made this.

I did find a seagull nesting there. That why they call me "Cliff".

Just to clarify, you have never been early for work in your life,

-have you?

-Never, Linds.

-No. Stop it.

OK, we've had another one in from, let me see...Magenta Biscuit Zebra.

Check this out.

My favourite face is when you keep going...

-All the time - I like it.

-Shall we see another one?

-Yeah.

-We've got another one. It's from Salmon Super Cat.

We love those - how good are they?

I was Iggy, by the way, in case you were wondering.

You did a nice Iggy voice.

So make sure you head online and have a go yourself -

sign in and get really, really creative.

The website is right there, for those of you who need it,

and it's really important to save your work,

then other BP fans like us can go on and have a look.

Time for your comments, because at the start of the show,

we asked you to let us know, have you got a badge? If so, why?

Lots of you have been getting in touch,

saying you're collecting them all.

Pearl Silly Tomato says, "I'm trying to get my green badge.

"I've made a booklet about rhinos,

"as they are my favourite animal, so hopefully, I'll get the badge."

Good luck.

Rose Wintry Kestrel says, "Next, I want to try and get my purple.

"I'm actually going to do a review of today's show,

"cos I love all the badges."

Great work. Would you like to read one out, Myah?

Peach Calm Seahorse - "I'm going to get my silver badge

"by making a papier mache Shelley."

-Beautiful.

-We love a bit of 3D art here on Blue Peter.

Jagmac, we're going to turn to you.

You've already got this badge, which one's next?

-To be honest, we want all of them.

-I love it, yeah!

Mainly, we're shooting for gold. It would be such an honour.

Everyone wants a gold Blue Peter badge, don't they?

And then Azure Smiley Seahorse says,

"I'd like to get the orange badge for winning a competition, but" -

listen to this - "I already have my blue, silver, green, purple

"and sport badge, and I love wearing them with pride." And so you should.

That would be a heavy T-shirt, with all those badges.

That is aiming! Crimson Autumn Tulip says,

"I've got my Blue Peter badge and I'm applying for a green badge

"for creating an area in my garden to help attract bees."

-Well, you guys are off the charts.

-And just time to tell you,

if you've been on the Blue Peter Fan Club today,

you'll know that we were playing Presenter Bingo.

The word was "razzle-dazzle" - exciting news, it was a tie.

Two people got it at once,

and they were Emerald Hilarious Cow and Blue Violet Minibaker.

-You're both stars.

-Well done!

-Round of applause.

-A tie.

Yes - well, make sure you are watching next week's show,

because CBBC queen Naomi Wilkinson and myself

will be giving the Blue Peter pond a good old spring clean.

As well as that, you may have heard of the Rocket Seeds experiment.

Lots of schools - in fact, 8,500 across the UK,

are going to be involved with it, and maybe your school is.

Next week on Blue Peter, we're going to be planting

one of the first seeds into our Blue Peter garden,

which is so exciting! So make sure you're watching.

Also, we should say, speaking of space,

happy birthday to Tim Peake.

Happy birthday, Tim!

Make sure you are watching next week.

It's going to be a belter.

-See you, then.

-Bye-bye!

-Thanks, Jagmac!

Bye!
