0:00:10 > 0:00:12Today's Blue Peter is full of festive fun,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15so to get in the mood we are playing charades.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Ready? Nick, take it away.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Two words. First word.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20- Book. Easy.- Book.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Er, no, it's socks.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Book of socks.- Sock book.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Second word.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30- Er, a man. - A man wearing smelly socks.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- Don't know.- I give up. It's Blue Peter!- Oh.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- Hello.- And just look at it.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56The Blue Peter advent crown in all of its historic iconic glory.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Every single week in the run up to our Christmas special,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01we'll be lighting a brand-new candle.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Now, you can see there's already three lit, one to go,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05which can only mean on thing, can't it, Radz?
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- Next week's the Christmas special, baby!- Yes!- We're very excited.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10We love it.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13But on today's show, we've got wintry games, including this
0:01:13 > 0:01:16one here, where Barney and myself train in an exhibition
0:01:16 > 0:01:19at the European Curling Championships.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Cannot wait for that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22As well as that, we've got a lovely famous face in the studio.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Tom Fletcher's here.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Hello, Tom. Waving away.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28He's here to chat about his new book and also play
0:01:28 > 0:01:29a very festive silly game.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- It's going to be good.- But first, it's time for some messy fun.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Would you please welcome to Blue Peter, the world's greatest
0:01:34 > 0:01:37underachiever, Hank Zipzer himself, it's Nick James!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39APPLAUSE
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Yes, rocking the BAFTA, my friend.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Congratulations and let's look at that famous face.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46You got that for being the Best Performer. Well done to you.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Thank you very much.- Let's talk about Monday. Very exciting news.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Monday is the day that the Hank Zipzer Christmas movie comes out.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's called Hank Zipzer's Christmas Catastrophe
0:01:55 > 0:01:56and it comes out on CBBC.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It's got an awesome name. What can we look forward to?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Well, Hank Zipzer is getting a new baby brother,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03so he's feeling quite left out...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Ah.- ..but he still wants to have the best Christmas he can.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- There's a bizarre sleigh accident. - Wow!- It's a one-man school play.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Mr Joy tries to cancel Christmas
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- and Hank falls in love with a US pop star.- Right, that sounds awesome.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I definitely would like to see a sneak peek.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Would you like to see a sneak peek? - Yes.- I thought so. Thanks, Linds.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Yes.- Well, I'm afraid you can't,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25because you're going to have to earn it.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Say hello to the Hank Zipzer superfans!
0:02:27 > 0:02:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:28 > 0:02:30ORGAN FANFARE
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I like the music. Have a look at this. This is all of your...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35No, I'm sure there's more.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37This is SOME of your Hank Zipzer's superfans.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40They love the series so much, they got in touch with Blue Peter
0:02:40 > 0:02:42and they would like to ask you a question, and all you have to do
0:02:42 > 0:02:45is pick a name and answer the question.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Easy, but then I'm going to turn over these boards and there's
0:02:48 > 0:02:52either going to be five seconds towards the clip or, Radzi...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55A pie, courtesy of a faceful of the cold stuff!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Or we just call it a custard pie. Feast your eyes on that.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02You only have 90 seconds in which to gather those crucial seconds
0:03:02 > 0:03:06to help with our exclusive Blue Peter sneak peek. Are you up for it?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10In which case, place those goggles upon your peepers, my friend...
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- We like this.- ..because we are ready to Mr Rock and Roller!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Without further ado, time starts now.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Otilia.- OK, here we go. Answer the question. What is it?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Can you play any instruments?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Can you play instruments?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- I used to be able to play the piano. - We'll take that. We like the piano.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29No, Radzi, wait. We don't know what it is yet.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34It's five seconds. Put the pie down. Nick, who's next?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Oliver.- Where is he?- Middle middle.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- OK, what is it? - What's your favourite food?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Er, pizza.- We like that. OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It's another five seconds!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- OK, next person.- Lizzie.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Lizzie, top left.- Come on, pie.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53In real life, do you have an annoying sister like Hank?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- No, but I have an annoying older brother.- OK.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's another five!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- No.- Daisy.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Where is she? Daisy, what's your question?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Did you do any research about people with dyslexia to understand
0:04:07 > 0:04:09the role of Hank Zipzer?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Great question.- Sorry? - Any research about dyslexia?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I was told about dyslexia by Henry Winkler, so that's given me
0:04:16 > 0:04:18an insight into what it's like.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's a pie!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Bosh! Look at that!
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Next person you can't see. - Bottom left. Daniel.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29OK, Daniel.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33What is your favourite Hank Zipzer episode and why?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Nick, try your best. Favourite episode.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Probably the first-ever one, the Niagara Falls one.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- I really like that one. - Let's see. It's a pie!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Quick, Radz.- Bosh!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47KLAXON SOUNDS
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Time is up. Only two pies. That could have been a lot worse.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So, two pies added to the ten seconds that we gave you,
0:04:52 > 0:04:57because we're generous, which gives you a sum total of 25 seconds!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Well done, dude. - Thank you very much.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Do the honours.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Run the clips!- Yes!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Let's go.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'm in.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Whoa!
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Aargh!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Hello? Uh-oh!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Ho-ho, ho-ho!
0:05:30 > 0:05:31APPLAUSE
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- We like the look of that. - What a sport you were, by the way.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Thank you very much. - It's still dripping off.- Yeah.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40We'd like you to stick around, so do you want to clean off with a towel
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and stay for the rest of Blue Peter? Off you go. Bye-bye.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- There's a towel over there. - Linds.- Yes.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Barney and myself were watching Strictly recently and we saw
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Claudia and I said, "Blimey, she's flexible!"
0:05:50 > 0:05:53He said, "She can't do Tuesdays."
0:05:53 > 0:05:56That was good(!) One cameraman liked it at least.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58But we think you can come up with better.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00That's because we've teamed up with BBC Comedy Classroom
0:06:00 > 0:06:03and Red Nose Day 2017.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07We think you can come up with an even better joke and we need
0:06:07 > 0:06:11you to come up with three brand-new, rib-tickling LOLs.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And two of the judges who will be choosing their favourite entries
0:06:14 > 0:06:16are none other than Miranda Hart, legendary comedian,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19plus the founder of Comic Relief himself, Richard Curtis.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- What a competition. - I'm still giggling.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Just think, if you send in your original jokes,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27they could be read out in our Red Nose Day spectacular in 2017
0:06:27 > 0:06:31and they might even feature on the night of Comic Relief,
0:06:31 > 0:06:32which would be awesome.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34All the details you need are on the Blue Peter website.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Do you know what else is funny?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Seeing two fully-grown men sliding around on ice.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41What could possibly go wrong?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44So we're here in Stirling in Scotland to take part in
0:06:44 > 0:06:45a very cool sport.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49We're going to need to be ice cool because this sport is one of
0:06:49 > 0:06:51the oldest team sports in the entire world.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56So grab your stones and pick up your brushes. We're curling.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Take two teams, a sheet of ice and some pretty big stones
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and you've got curling.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05The object of the game is to try and slide your stone into
0:07:05 > 0:07:07a giant bull's-eye on the ice.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10The closest to the middle of this target, called a house,
0:07:10 > 0:07:12scores the most points.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16And why am I explaining this ancient sport?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Well, that's because for our BP Challenge, Barney and I will
0:07:19 > 0:07:23be coming here to the European Curling Championships in Glasgow
0:07:23 > 0:07:27to go head-to-head in a special exhibition match.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So then, let's get going.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Are you going to push me? Go.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38OK.
0:07:38 > 0:07:4012 points.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We have no idea what we're doing.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Luckily, we've got Judith McCleary,
0:07:45 > 0:07:49head development coach from the Royal Caledonian Curling Club,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51and our mentor for this challenge.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Judith, we don't know what we're doing at all.- That's OK.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56We will get there today.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59The only things that we need to worry about at the moment
0:07:59 > 0:08:03or think about are the pieces of equipment. We need some stones.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09- Hello.- These stones are about 20 kilos in weight, so very heavy,
0:08:09 > 0:08:11so we're not going to try lifting them up today.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- They're made from granite.- You need a brush. I've seen people brushing.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15You do.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I've just got some brushes for you if you want to get them from behind.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Do you know what we might use a curling brush for?
0:08:21 > 0:08:26- It seems to change the way the stone moves.- Yeah, you're right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29If your stone is going too slow, you want to get sweeping.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Basically, you're just melting part of the ice and helping
0:08:32 > 0:08:34the stone to travel further.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38'But enough talk. Time to give this a go.'
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Into the back. Step on to the slider.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Great. Crouch down.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Put your elbow over the top of your knee. Perfect.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Ready. Lift your hips.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Steady, which is pull back. - Go on, Barn!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Can we just keep this foot flat here?- Yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- And then go.- Go! Slide!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Not a bad effort.- Well done.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05That's actually not easy at all, is it? That's really difficult.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I can feel my body going over to one side and, as you can see,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11the stone hasn't really gone in the right direction.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14'Barney's being modest. Let's see what I can do.'
0:09:18 > 0:09:22I think that was all right. I THINK that was all right.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- What did you think?- That was really good for a first one, definitely.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Look how far the stone's gone, as well. Really great.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I like this. I like this a lot.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40'So, a good start, but if we're going to play in front of some
0:09:40 > 0:09:43'of the world's greatest curlers, we need some serious training.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:49ROCK MUSIC
0:09:49 > 0:09:52'The main thing Judith wants us to work on is technique.'
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's very, very easy to make very simple mistakes.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Keep your eyes forward.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05'It's so tricky to think about the position of your body on the ice
0:10:05 > 0:10:08'and where the stone's going.'
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's the precision. You've got to try and do it precise.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13You've got that line there,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16so what we want to then do is get that rotation.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20You've got to try and get one that finishes in the house.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25'By the end of the day, though, we've definitely made improvements.'
0:10:26 > 0:10:29For the first time on the ice, they've just been fantastic
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- in terms of the balance...- Thanks. - ..they've been able to get.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Nice of you to say that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I would say Radzi probably has just the slight edge at the moment,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41but Barney's putting in lots of practice just now,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45so I think, come the challenge, it'll be very, very close.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49'Coming up, we've got to perform at one of THE biggest events
0:10:49 > 0:10:51'on the curling calendar.'
0:10:53 > 0:10:54One rink.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57One house.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Eight stones.- One challenge.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Yeah, bring it on.- Bring it on.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Curling is so much fun and to find out just how Barney and
0:11:15 > 0:11:17myself got on at the European Curling Championships,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19make sure you stay tuned.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23And for even more icy fun, jump online to the Blue Peter website
0:11:23 > 0:11:26where Barney and myself play slippy or grippy.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It was a lot of fun, and that's my bum, people!
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Now though, from sporting zeros, I think it's fair to say,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36to some of this nation's future sporting heroes, because just
0:11:36 > 0:11:40around the corner is Young Sports Personality of the Year 2016,
0:11:40 > 0:11:44and one very lucky Blue Peter viewer got to choose their favourite.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47From you at home to some of the world's best athletes,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I think it's fair to say that everybody wants
0:11:50 > 0:11:56a Blue Peter sport badge and in 2016 we've had over 10,000 applications,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and who can blame them?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02And with every application came the exclusive chance to be part of
0:12:02 > 0:12:07the judging panel for the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09But there can only be one person selected for this
0:12:09 > 0:12:12once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Meet Oscar.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Oscar's application wowed us with his love for ice hockey
0:12:17 > 0:12:21and his dream to one day become a sports commentator.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25The thing I like most about ice hockey is the physicality.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29It balances with the speed, so it's a really fast paced, upbeat game.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Oscar's journey starts here.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40He's come to meet me at the BBC in Salford for Young SPOTY judging.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Oscar takes his place amongst some huge names from the world of sport,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45but he's not intimidated.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I think it might be hard to pick out of the two, because your can't
0:12:49 > 0:12:51really let one win, because they're both very similar.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I thought Oscar was brilliant.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56In fact, he spoke more sense than almost everyone else put together.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I expect to hear him broadcast on the BBC, because he's just got it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Whatever it is, he's got it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- It's hard, obviously. - He came fifth in Rio.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09(We've all got our own favourites and we need to decide just one.)
0:13:09 > 0:13:11After hours of discussion,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14a decision is made on our final shortlist.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18It's now time to announce to you, the nation, our top three finalists
0:13:18 > 0:13:22for Young Sports Personality of the Year 2016.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26My name's Amy Tinkler.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I'm a Rio Olympic bronze medallist in gymnastics.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The thing I love most about gymnastics is the competitions
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and also getting the opportunity to travel around the world and
0:13:36 > 0:13:37meet different people.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Amy was the youngest member of Team GB's gymnastics squad at
0:13:41 > 0:13:44the Rio Olympics and the first-ever British female gymnast
0:13:44 > 0:13:46to medal on the floor.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- COMMENTATOR:- Amy Tinkler looking very at home
0:13:48 > 0:13:51in this Olympic floor final.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54When I found out I was nominated for the Young Sports Personality
0:13:54 > 0:13:55of the Year, it meant a lot to me.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58It's amazing to be up against such incredible athletes
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and I'm really excited.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I'm Keelan Giles, professional rugby player.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Currently playing for the Ospreys and Wales.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I started playing rugby when I was six.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Eventually got picked up by the Ospreys academy.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Now playing for the senior team.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20In Keelan's first four games for the Ospreys, he scored eight tries,
0:14:20 > 0:14:22including a hat-trick, and is tipped to be
0:14:22 > 0:14:26a hot prospect for the future of the Wales international squad.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29When I found out I got nominated for Young Sports Personality of the Year
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I was pretty stoked.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Hi, I'm Ellie Robinson
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and I'm Paralympic gold and bronze medallist.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Ellie surpassed all expectations in Rio with
0:14:41 > 0:14:46a gold in the 50 metre butterfly and a bronze in the 100 metre freestyle.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The thing I most like about swimming is competitions,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54cos I'm a real competitor and just the friendships I've made that
0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm never going to lose.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I found out I'd been nominated for Young Sports Personality in the car
0:15:00 > 0:15:04on the way to training and I was just so over the moon with it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Winning Young Sports Personality of the Year
0:15:06 > 0:15:09would mean such a lot, because it's been a whirlwind of
0:15:09 > 0:15:12a year and it would just be the icing on the cake.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16These are your three nominees. But who will win?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I am so excited, but keep an eye on the Blue Peter website
0:15:20 > 0:15:23next week to find out indeed who will be crowned
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Young Sports Personality of the Year 2016 and actually Oscar and myself
0:15:28 > 0:15:31will get to go to the ceremony on Sunday,
0:15:31 > 0:15:3418th December, rubbing shoulders with some such sporting legends.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35I cannot wait.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37And we'll be taking you behind the scenes
0:15:37 > 0:15:40in the New Year, so keep your eyes peeled for that one.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Now, though, I think it's time for a bit of festive fun, Linds.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Right, now who here loves Christmas?
0:15:45 > 0:15:46CHEERING
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Strong. And who loves dinosaurs?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50CHEERING
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Different, I know. Well, one man thought,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53"I'm going to put them both together,"
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- and that man is Tom Fletcher. - CHEERING
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Hi!- Tom... A lovely applause!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Welcome to Blue Peter, well done on getting the badge.- Thank you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02You've had one before though, haven't you?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- I've got a nice collection of badges.- I love it, I love it.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Now, you've written The Christmasaurus,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- which sounds amazing.- I have. - Tell us little bit about it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It's about a young boy called William Trundle
0:16:10 > 0:16:13and a very special dinosaur called the christmasaurus,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15and it's a magical Christmas adventure
0:16:15 > 0:16:17that they have one Christmas Eve.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Now, speaking of Christmas, you are slightly obsessed, I want to say.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- A little bit.- A bit like William's dad in the book, isn't it?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Yeah, yeah, basically, I have a slightly unhealthy
0:16:25 > 0:16:28obsession with Christmas. I think it annoys all of my family
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- and bandmates.- Didn't you have a Christmas birthday party?
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Yeah, which sounds OK, but my birthday's in July, so...
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- So it's just a bit weird then? - I've actually had two now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Two Christmas birthday parties?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Yeah, I don't do them for myself, people do them for me.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And of course, Tom, most people know you as the lead singer of
0:16:42 > 0:16:44McFly, so what's it like writing a book?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46How does that compare with writing songs?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Probably more lonely, I'm guessing?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It is, but that's what makes it quite nice,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52you don't have to worry about your bandmates so much.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53It's nice you can just...
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I sat in my kitchen, I was eating Christmas food,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- drinking lots of tea and coffee... - Again, in July.- In July.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It was in July when I was writing it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03But, no, it is a completely different to writing songs,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a really great experience.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Well, listen, because we know you're such a super fun of Christmas,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- we thought we'd play a game, if you're up for it.- OK.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Walk this way for Festive Fibs. It's a catchy title.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16JINGLE PLAYS
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Oh, we've got music and everything.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20OK, Tom, take a seat on the present.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Now, the way this is going to work, we're going to pretend
0:17:23 > 0:17:24that it's Christmas morning,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27you and I have got a lot of presents down there, we don't know what's
0:17:27 > 0:17:30inside them and one by one we're going to take turns and open them.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34And we have to describe, without each other seeing what's in there,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- what is inside the box, OK?- OK.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Now, you can be truthful, or you can tell a little festive fib.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41It is up to you.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44If the other person guesses correctly, they get a point,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and if they don't, then they don't and the other person gets a point...
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- if that makes sense. It's best-of-three, shall we start?- Yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Well, listen, you love Christmas.- I do.- So you can go first. Off you go.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- I'm not very good at fibbing.- Well, I am.- I've got a feeling you are.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Yeah, OK.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- OK, can't see anything. - You can't see anything?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Nope, can't see a thing.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Oh, well, you're not going to believe what's in here.- Really?
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- OK, describe it to me. - It is a...- What are you holding?
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Why are people laughing in the studio? What is this?
0:18:17 > 0:18:22It is a giant Brussels sprout.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Oh, you've got quite a good lying face. Are you...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I don't know if you're fibbing or not. I'm going to say...
0:18:28 > 0:18:30These are my truthful eyes.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I'm going to say that you are actually being truthful.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- I think it is a giant Brussels sprout.- Do you want to see?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Yeah.- Eh-eh!- Oh!- I don't even know what this is. What is this?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's a dinosaur dressed as a Christmas pudding.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It's a dinosaur in a Christmas pudding!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45That's phenomenal. That's a point you, Tom,
0:18:45 > 0:18:46and also, you can keep that.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Enjoy.- Thank you.- Can I take this big one at the front?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51OK.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Get ready. OK!
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Do I just... I'm just going to pull it open. Here we go.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59How do I get into it? Oh, oh!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01LINDSEY LAUGHS
0:19:01 > 0:19:04OK. So, so...
0:19:04 > 0:19:11There it is. What I've got in my hand here, Tom, is a...
0:19:11 > 0:19:17a silver tree with little Brussels sprouts hanging off of it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Hmm!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Well, you've gone for Brussels sprouts again,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and I said Brussels sprouts, which makes me think
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- either you just can't make anything else up...- I giggle when I lie.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28HE LAUGHS
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Are you lying? I'm going to say you're lying. You're lying.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- I'm telling the truth!- Oh, no!
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- You threw me off.- I'm going to keep this. This is lovely.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- That's really nice.- Right, it's one-all, off you go, Tom.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- This is the decider.- Right, OK.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Oh, this is a great game, we should play this every Christmas.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- I know, I like this game.- OK.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54So whoever gets this right is the ultimate Festive Fib winner.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57It's all to play for, OK?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59What have you got there?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01OK, this is...
0:20:01 > 0:20:04It's pretty special. It is...
0:20:04 > 0:20:10It's me riding a dinosaur carrying a candy cane.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16There's no way they've done that. That's surely a festive fib.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- I wouldn't lie to you.- Really? Show me.- Do you want to see?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23But you haven't said if I'm lying, do you think lying?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24You're definitely fibbing! Oh!
0:20:24 > 0:20:26THEY LAUGH
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's you. Actually riding a dinosaur.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's me riding a dinosaur with a candy cane.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Oh, Tom, come round here.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You've won, you're the ultimate Festive Fib winner.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Is this what I win?- Yeah, that's what... You take that home.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Oh, thank you. I've always wanted one.- I can tell.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Thanks so much for coming on Blue Peter! Tom Fletcher, everyone!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- APPLAUSE - Merry Christmas.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- What is that? - How much fun was that game?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And if you want even more Tom Fletcher games, just jump onto
0:20:51 > 0:20:53the Blue Peter website. The one thing I want more of is
0:20:53 > 0:20:56this man to my right. Welcome back Nick James, people!
0:20:56 > 0:20:57APPLAUSE
0:20:57 > 0:21:00And betwixt your feet is a present,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02a gift containing something very important.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It's December's Fan of the Month. Nick, do the honours, my friend
0:21:05 > 0:21:07as we start a nice drumroll of music.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09December's Fan of the Month is...
0:21:13 > 0:21:14CHEERING
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Super Silly Sloth, congratulations to you.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You are always somebody that welcomes new members,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22you are friendly, you're encouraging to other people,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25you always use fantastic emojis, you make your own unique challenges
0:21:25 > 0:21:29and you are officially off the charts, but you cannot be
0:21:29 > 0:21:31a Fan of the Month without getting a CBBC ID, and you can't do that
0:21:31 > 0:21:35without registering, so jump online and make sure you do
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- that, my people. - That was a lovely bit you did there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Thank you very much, Lindsey. I tried my best.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Super Silly Sloth, you're basically a legend.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Just like everyone who has sent in post this week.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Check out the big badge wall. It's looking festive.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47There's tinsel everywhere, which we love.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Ella from Dorset has done this little picture of Shelley,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52look you can see Lindsey on the tail, Radzi,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Barney, and she's covered the shell in all of the beautiful BP badges.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Well done, you got a badge.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Nick, what have you found?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Annabel from Surrey got her blue badge by making
0:22:03 > 0:22:05a Blue Peter Advent calendar.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Look at the effort that's gone into that!
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Can I open the eighth door? - Please do. What is it? Aw!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- It's a green badge. - Little tiny green badge.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Speaking of Advent calendars, by the way, if you head online,
0:22:14 > 0:22:18to the CBBC Advent calendar today - if the open the door
0:22:18 > 0:22:21there's a very special Blue Peter game you can play. It's funny,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24you get to play me throwing snowballs at the boys.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Hey!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Why am I the only one getting snowballs chucked them?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Because you've got a squishy face.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- And I've got big hair that you aim for.- Yeah.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Now, somebody else who got a blue badge like the others on
0:22:34 > 0:22:37the wall is Tom from Lancashire, who's recreated perfectly
0:22:37 > 0:22:41trials bike rider Danny MacAskill, who can go up and down the steps
0:22:41 > 0:22:46courtesy of Tom's ingenuity and that is legit. Well done to you, Tom.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48We love it. All your post has been legit, actually.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Thank you so much for sending it in.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Please do keep it coming to the usual address.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56We want to collect Christmas cards, don't we? For our Christmas special.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Send them in.- Now, I can feel another head-to-head coming on.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01It's me versus Barney and this one is cool
0:23:01 > 0:23:04because it's got ice in it. Take a look.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10In 24 hours, Barney and I will be going head-to-head
0:23:10 > 0:23:12in our curling challenge.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14We're going to play a special exhibition match
0:23:14 > 0:23:17at the European Championships in front of
0:23:17 > 0:23:19some of the world's best curlers.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22So, we've come to a junior training session
0:23:22 > 0:23:24to get some last-minute help.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28And they start by working on our aim.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30So, Charlie's in position,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32he's pointing where he wants me to put the stone.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Here we go.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Room for improvement there, mate. I'm feeling pretty confident.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45With the pressure on ahead of tomorrow,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I think it's starting to get to Barney.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53No, you might think that that was a mistake, but actually,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I know that Radzi's watching me, so I'm trying to put him off the scent
0:23:56 > 0:23:59a little bit. I think that he thinks I'm rubbish.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- I like it when he falls over. - Oh, what a mistake I just made.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Don't tell him.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07But there's only so much training we can do this close to the event.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It's challenge time.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13This is the Braehead Arena in Glasgow.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Over seven days, it's hosting some of the finest curling on the planet.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20And me and Barney.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Barney?- Yeah?- Are you ready yet?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32You've taken three hours to get that bib on.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- Yeah, I like the slow motion stuff. - I don't.- All right.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37This is it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39We've got eight stones each.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Unlike a full curling match, there'll be no changing ends,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47no points, just the closest stone to the centre wins.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51And our mentor, Judith is here to referee,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54brush and offer some much-needed advice.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Here goes.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Oh, that looks quite a good one.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04This ice is so much faster than I'm used to.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I wonder if it will affect Barney?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10It's an interesting technique.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Mate!
0:25:12 > 0:25:14He's done well there.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Oh, what do you think? - I think it's OK.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20No!
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Too long again.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Barney's as cool as ice.- Oh!
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Not much of a spin on it, is there?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35He lands his second stone in the target.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Still there.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I need to get to grips with this speedy ice.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45That's better.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I take the lead. What's Barney got?
0:25:51 > 0:25:56I'm still closest. And it stays that way for the next three stones.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- That was so close. - Until...
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Good!
0:26:06 > 0:26:08..Barney plays a blinder.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That was a complete fluke.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Oh! It's a bit high.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I've got three shots to take the lead back.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20But I just can't get any closer than Barney.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Unless I get nearer, he's won. Here goes.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Oh!
