0:00:03 > 0:00:05Quick - it's about to start! Come on!
0:00:05 > 0:00:07- Sorry!- Hurry up!- I was getting the popcorn. Here you are.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09- Oh, hand it out.- I've got my drink.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Where's the remote?
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Oh, there we go. I'm so excited for this.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Bring it on. I can't wait. What are we watching?
0:00:15 > 0:00:16The best bits of 2016.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Three, two, one...
0:00:34 > 0:00:38- Hello...- Hi!- ..and welcome to Blue Peter.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39I've eaten too much popcorn already.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- I'm stuffed.- Radzi, stop drinking all of that.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Stop drinking my drinks.- They're now empty.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Well, 2016 was such a busy year for us.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48So much so, we've taken all our favourite bits
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and just put them together, my friends.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And your bits, too, look - Madia sent in this book.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Stop eating popcorn, now.- I love popcorn. It's all about Blue Peter.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58There's lots about our challenges in there.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01She also wants to say thank you for Reading. She must love it there(!)
0:01:01 > 0:01:04It says, "thank you for reading." I'm only joking. Well done.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Silver Badge on its way to you.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Speaking of challenges, I've got to say one of my faves of 2016
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- has got to be when we did our wing walking challenge.- Yes!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Passing the baton between two planes.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- That was incredible.- Incredible. - Best day.- That was pretty awesome.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I think my favourite has to be the cycle challenge, with Sir Chris Hoy.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Yes!- What a legend that man is!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24There's also been lots of water-based challenges.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Like when I did my water-skiing challenge,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28and I actually had to perform tricks
0:01:28 > 0:01:30at the British Youth Water Ski Championships.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- That was hard.- As well as that, I took part in the Cowes Regatta,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37with Team Invictus, which was such an honour. It was so much fun,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40but it was hard work trying to keep that boat upright.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- That's because of all the cows in the boat!- Mh-hm?- Mh-hm.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Not that kind of cows' regatta. - Stop it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Anyway, my favourite was the tin bath race,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48because I was supposed to be racing in a tin bath,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50but I spent most of my time out of it and in the water.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52I've got to say, I think the challenge that sticks out the most,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55when it comes to water-based 2016 challenges...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Water-skiing.- ..has got to be Wave Runner.- Ah.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- That was just incredible.- It was awesome.- It was tough.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It was massive, but it was amazing.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Check this out.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08I'm going to attempt to run across that, the Irish Sea.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I'll need to train harder than I've ever trained before,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22working with an elite team of specialists.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Keep driving! Keep driving!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Can I conquer the sea
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and find a way to walk on water?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29SHE SCREAMS
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Can I become The Wave Runner?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Well, she's six-and-a-half hours in, so about 13 miles done.
0:02:40 > 0:02:4324,000 uphill steps.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47This is where she starts to question whether she can make it or not.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51So, she's done a lot, but she's got an awful long way to go.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53'The conditions have changed since this morning.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55'The wind and waves are much stronger,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58'and I'm struggling to keep my balance.'
0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's just pushing me over.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's pushing me to the left.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Arrgh.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09'This is so tough, but I've got to keep trying.'
0:03:13 > 0:03:17'15 miles in, and I've reached a critical moment in my journey.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20'The tide is turning and should start pushing me towards
0:03:20 > 0:03:22'my destination of Portpatrick.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26'But over the next hour, the wind increases
0:03:26 > 0:03:29'and the waves just get higher.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32'It's taking all my strength to stay upright.'
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Arrgh!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37'I'm so frustrated.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41'I know I have to beat these conditions to stay on track.'
0:03:41 > 0:03:43It is too slippy.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47'After 16 miles, Greg calls me in for a crisis talk.'
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Your pace has been amazing from start to this point.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55But the problem is that those tides are just really quick today,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57and with the combination of that and the wind,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00it's just pushing you in the wrong direction.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02This is tough. Really, really, really tough. OK?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Are we just not going anywhere?
0:04:05 > 0:04:06We are. We're going the wrong direction,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08so we're not going where we want to go. OK?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10This has got nothing to do with you.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14There are not many people as brave as you, let me tell you that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23'I'm running out of time, but I'm determined to get back on course.'
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Ooh! Ah!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30It's pushing me around.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32'The extra effort is agony...'
0:04:36 > 0:04:38'..and the waves are impossible.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46'I manage one more mile...
0:04:48 > 0:04:52'..then I hear the words I'm dreading.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54'Greg tells me to stop.'
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Come on, let's get you out. Let's get you out of there.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Are you sure we can't just keep trying?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05The tide simply won't let you get to shore, that's the problem.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It fundamentally becomes too dangerous to be out here.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11'I can't believe it's over.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14'I've been at sea for nine hours but I have to accept
0:05:14 > 0:05:17'that I can't make it to Scotland against the tide.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19'I'm devastated.'
0:05:21 > 0:05:25'I did manage to walk 17 miles across the Irish Sea,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27'but it just wasn't enough.'
0:05:28 > 0:05:30That was a tough day. Very emotional.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I get a bit teary looking back at that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Now, it wouldn't be Blue Peter without some amazing competitions
0:05:35 > 0:05:36and we've seen a few of those.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39All of our competition winners have received a money-can't-buy prize,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41including Mia from West Sussex,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43who won our CBBC Wolfblood competition.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48She got to appear in the actual show and boy, did she rock that outfit!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51As well as that, designing the BP Sport Badge 2016
0:05:51 > 0:05:53really got your creative juices flowing
0:05:53 > 0:05:57because over 5,500 of you entered that competition.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- It is amazing.- It really is amazing.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It's very much up my alley, as well, being all about sport.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03And who won it but Sam from Stafford,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05with his incredible eye-catching design.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07What did he get to do?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09First of all, his badge went to every single member
0:06:09 > 0:06:12of Team GB and Para GB who went to the Rio Olympics,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15plus he got to go to the Team GB kitting-out session,
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and I went with him. Sam, you're a legend!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Let's not forget Max, another legend.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21The Big Day Out winner.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24He was awesome. He designed a poster that was seen by thousands of people
0:06:24 > 0:06:26on the London Underground. And as a special treat,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29he got to ride in the cabin, and he even blew the whistle.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- How cool was that?- He loved it, didn't he?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33And the exclusive access didn't stop there,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37because we marked 100 years since the birth of Roald Dahl
0:06:37 > 0:06:39with our Dream Big competition.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42And you lot applied in your thousands once again,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45creating your amazing dream stories.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47And the winner was, of course, Betty from Hull,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and her prize really was a dream come true.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Awesome, isn't it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57'As part of Roald Dahl 100, The BFG was released worldwide,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00'and Betty got to attend the premiere in London,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02'along with runners-up Isabella and Zac.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09'Getting to go to the premiere was just one part of Betty's prize.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13'For the second part, she got to meet the director of The BFG,
0:07:13 > 0:07:14'Steven Spielberg.'
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Steven, it is an absolute pleasure to meet you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Thank you so much for being on Blue Peter today.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Thank you, Lindsey. It's nice to be here.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Now, as you know, on Blue Peter,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26we launched this incredible competition called Dream Big,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30and we had over 8,000 children apply for this, Blue Peter viewers.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- Amazing.- It's incredible, isn't it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- That's great.- What's more incredible is we have our winner right here.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Betty.- Betty, it's nice to see you. - Nice to meet you.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Nice to meet you.- Betty came up with an incredible dream sequence,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and we've actually got the finished animation here,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- if you would like to have.... - I would.- ..a little look at it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Here you go.- OK.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Our protagonists were fired from their job at the estate agent...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56because they were toucans.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57HE LAUGHS
0:07:59 > 0:08:03They were upset because one felt he was a people toucan,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06while the other had strategic planning skills.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07OPERA MUSIC PLAYS
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Unemployed, they broadened their minds with opera and books.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16A period of reflection on their corporate lives
0:08:16 > 0:08:18showed them that their particular skills
0:08:18 > 0:08:20did not make for good estate agents.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The toucans opened their own Internet cafe in Shoreditch...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31..providing a careers advice service for other animals
0:08:31 > 0:08:34stuck in dead-end jobs, unsuited to their skills.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37HE LAUGHS
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yeah, I can see why you're sitting here. That's really marvellous.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Thank you.- Did you ever imagine that you might be sitting here
0:08:43 > 0:08:46with Steven Spielberg, showing him your animation?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Not in a million years. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- What does it feel like?- I still need to pinch myself.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54It's not... I don't even know what to say.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57And what parts of the animation did you particularly enjoy, Steven?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I love with the coffee shop, that little social...
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- "Toucan Play This Game." - "Toucan Play This Game."
0:09:03 > 0:09:06That is great. You have a wonderful imagination,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08but you're also a really good writer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Thank you.- I think we all start the same way.- Yeah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Everybody starts from the same area where nothing is impossible.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Where the possibilities abound, and anything you can create
0:09:19 > 0:09:22for yourself, as your film illustrated, you can do that.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Before we let you go, Betty, you've got a little something
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- to ask Steven, haven't you?- Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Would you mind taking a selfie with us?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- I would love that!- This is going to be a good one.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33OK.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36How amazing!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Off the charts.- I was properly, properly nervous and star struck,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41but it was amazing to meet Steven Spielberg.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45He's not the only incredible guest we've had on Blue Peter in 2016.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46There have been loads!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48My favourite - Danny MacAskill.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Now, to put it into perspective for you,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52if you played football and your favourite footballer
0:09:52 > 0:09:55was David Beckham, and he taught you how to take a free kick, for me,
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Danny MacAskill was that hero.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58He taught me how to wheelie, how to bunny hop.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- It was awesome.- You couldn't speak after that day.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- I couldn't.- You loved it.- I literally... It was so exciting.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Let's talk about let's talk about Jez from the F2 Freestylers,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08who came on to Blue Peter without his partner, Billy,
0:10:08 > 0:10:09and absolutely crushed it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13He put a ball into a wheelie bin with his head.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- That's enough for me.- OK, Radz, calm down. You loved it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18As well as that, we've had so many Hollywood stars on the show,
0:10:18 > 0:10:19like Justin Timberlake,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Anna Kendrick, Kevin Hart and even Jack Black. It's been good.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26But the one that you guys got the most excited about is, of course,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28superstar from the internet, DanTDM.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30He was here in the BP studio.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Camera two, we all know that DanTDM is cool,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37but how cool did he become when he invented a very exclusive Blue Peter
0:10:37 > 0:10:41game for us to play? I wasn't very good at it, though.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- A huge welcome to Blue Peter. - Thank you.- And can we also say
0:10:44 > 0:10:47a massive congratulations. Is it true you've now had over
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- eight billion views online? - It's very true.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Yes.- Just insane.- That's ridiculous! You are a bit of a megastar, then.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57A little bit, yeah. I do a lot of talking for my job, which is great.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I do that over the top of games like Minecraft and Roblox,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02while creating my own characters, popping them into their own worlds
0:11:02 > 0:11:05and having crazy, crazy stories happen.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- And you do this from your house as well?- Yes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09It is the best job in the world.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I've got to eat that bit. Talk to us about the tour as well.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Yes, so, the tour. I'm taking what I built online
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and taking it into the real world in the form of my tour,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- which is great. We're going to 13, no, 16 places.- Lost count.- 32 shows.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Going everywhere.- It's a lot of stuff to do.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's a lot of stuff. And we have some new characters,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31a brand-new plot line and some really awesome custom games as well.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Speaking of games, we've got a little BP special version...
0:11:35 > 0:11:36- We do.- ..of one of the games here.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Talk us through it. What's it called, Dan?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- So, this is called The Run Of Doom. - It sounds terrifying.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44It is terrifying. Well, not too terrifying. It's doable.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46So, what is going to happen is our players are going to be on
0:11:46 > 0:11:48the right-hand side of the screen and they need to get to
0:11:48 > 0:11:50the left-hand side while dodging objects
0:11:50 > 0:11:51flying at their head and their feet.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54And we just need one person to get to the end to win it for everyone.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Out of the four players we're going to play with.- Yes.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- We've got three super-fans here. - Yay!- Sam, Lily and Daniel.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Welcome, guys!- Come on in, guys. Take your positions.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Daniel looks very confident.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Yes.- Look at that smile.- Talk us through how they're going to
0:12:05 > 0:12:07use these mats and make the game work.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09You're going to use these little mats to run.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11And you do that with your left and right, like this.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- So, if you stomp on them really quickly...- There we go.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- There we go.- Perfect.- Warming up. Do that to run from right to left.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- So, you run by literally running on those two?- Literally running, yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- OK, fine.- And then if you need to jump over an obstacle,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24you tap your top button with your foot, like that.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27If you need to duck under anything, then you do your back button.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Bring it on.- Very good. And always go back to running,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31or you'll get locked on the wrong side of the screen.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33OK, guys. Limber up, get ready.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Dan, would you like to vlog throughout and commentate?- OK. Yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It's what you do best. OK. Let's start the...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Oh, game's starting. Three, two, one.- Three, two, one and go!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Go!- Run! Run as fast as you can.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- You're doing well. Wow, they're all...- Who's flying? Jump!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Oh, my goodness.- Daniel, you're doing amazing.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Oh!- Jumping over the badges.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Duck, duck, duck.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Mind that little...
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Very good, very good.- Oh, that was so close!
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- Daniel, come on!- Sam is doing amazing.- Sam, the bottom!- Sam, Sam!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Oh, you nearly got that! Well played!- Good job, look at that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- That was very close.- Good job. Look at that.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Sam. He's done it.- High five.- He's done it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Well done. Good job, guys.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Now, something else I love is when we have live music and bands
0:13:12 > 0:13:14here in the Blue Peter studio.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16We've had the mighty Lawson...
0:13:16 > 0:13:18# Imagine if money just grew on trees
0:13:18 > 0:13:21# I would spend the whole day planting seeds
0:13:21 > 0:13:24# I wish that I could give you everything
0:13:24 > 0:13:26# Treat you to the world's most beautiful things... #
0:13:26 > 0:13:28..and of course, Imani.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30# Baby
0:13:30 > 0:13:34# Wrapped up in your arms feels like I made it
0:13:34 > 0:13:38# When I close my eyes the world is faded
0:13:38 > 0:13:42# I used to say that love was just a fool's game... #
0:13:42 > 0:13:45..and as well as that, my fave, Olly Murs.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48# I know you've got to grow up
0:13:48 > 0:13:51# Ain't you sick of being immature
0:13:51 > 0:13:53# Talking loud cos you're insecure
0:13:53 > 0:13:56# You always turn it up Turn it up turn it up
0:13:56 > 0:13:57# Come on... #
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Boys, what have been your favourite?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02We can't forget about the uber talented, the lovely, Izzy Bizu.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07And how good was she on the show, by the way?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08# White tiger
0:14:08 > 0:14:12# I ride rollercoaster
0:14:12 > 0:14:16# If I am still caught on these safety bars
0:14:16 > 0:14:20# I probably made it... #
0:14:20 > 0:14:21And what about the Kaiser Chiefs?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It was a performance like no other when they came in last time.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26That's because I was dancing in the background,
0:14:26 > 0:14:27and I was dressed like Shelley.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31# Whip up the crowd
0:14:31 > 0:14:34# Get them going nice and loud
0:14:34 > 0:14:36# But you're the only one I see
0:14:39 > 0:14:42# You're the only one It's you and me
0:14:42 > 0:14:45# Strike up the band
0:14:46 > 0:14:50# Give yourself a great big hand and
0:14:50 > 0:14:52# All together now. #
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Name of the album...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57# Stay together Hold on to my hand
0:14:59 > 0:15:01# And everybody gave up
0:15:03 > 0:15:06# Until we start from the top again
0:15:07 > 0:15:10# Take it all from the top The top
0:15:10 > 0:15:12# The top The top
0:15:12 > 0:15:15# There's a hole in my soul
0:15:15 > 0:15:19# That could only be filled by you again
0:15:19 > 0:15:23# There's a hole in my soul
0:15:23 > 0:15:27# That could only be fixed by two
0:15:27 > 0:15:29# It can never be filled
0:15:29 > 0:15:31# Never be filled
0:15:31 > 0:15:35# Never be filled By anyone else but you
0:15:35 > 0:15:36# It can never be filled
0:15:36 > 0:15:38# Never be filled
0:15:38 > 0:15:42# Never be filled By anyone else but you. #
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I will never get bored of watching that.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51But as well as music, we also know that you love animals,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53and we've met a fair few.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56That's right. I loved getting up close and personal and having a hold
0:15:56 > 0:15:59of Melon, the three-banded armadillo.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02She actually became a bit of star. We had so much post in for Melon.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- She was amazing.- Genuinely enjoyed my experience with the beetles,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08and just so you know, I was not scared when it grabbed my hand
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- and wouldn't let go.- But of course,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13our favourite animals here on Blue Peter are Shelley and Iggy.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15And 2016 was a busy year for them, too.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Let's start with Shelley, who quite literally went to space.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21That picture is off the charts,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24and she even interviewed some Hollywood A-listers!
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Check this out.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It's an honour to meet you, Shelley.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Oh, you're giving me the silent treatment, I see?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35OK. Well, you know what, Shelley?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Two can play this game.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Look, I want to be friends. I don't want you upset with me.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45You can ask me anything.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Shelley, please do not leave.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Wow.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Shelley, have I ever told you about my coin collection?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Probably the most
0:16:58 > 0:17:00rude interview I've ever had.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Showing me your back.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Just give me a sign, a nod.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Anything at all.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Oh...
0:17:11 > 0:17:13A Blue Peter badge?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Oh, I can't believe it! Shelley, thank you so much!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Thank you! And it matches my outfit.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24And of course, Iggy graduated from her guide dog school training.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28We were so proud of her, as she went off to meet her brand-new owner,
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Callum.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Back in April, we were so pleased when Iggy became a fully-fledged
0:17:34 > 0:17:37guide dog and went to live with her new owner, Callum.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40So, Iggy's been with Callum for six months now,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and I'm so excited to see both of them and see how they're getting on.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Here we go.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Hello!- Hiya.- I can see Iggy!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Hey, how's it going?- Hi, guys. How are you? Hello, Iggy.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Hey. Give me a hug, Cal. How are you doing?- Hiya. How's it going?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Good to see you. Good to see you, Iggy!- Yeah, and you.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59You get a cuddle, too.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- How have you guys been?- Really good, yeah. Really well.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03It's so nice to see you both.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Shall we take her out for a little stroll?- Yeah, sure.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Let's go for it.- OK, let's do it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11When we last met Callum, he and Iggy could walk two routes.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14To his nan's house, and to college.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16This was a big deal at the time,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18but already I can see that things have moved on.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Good girl. It's all right. Good girl.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22You guys make a really good team.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Oh, I definitely wouldn't be walking around as fast and as confident as
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- this without her.- I was going to say, I'm struggling
0:18:27 > 0:18:29to keep up a bit here, Cal.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31'Callum now has so much more confidence.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35'And with Iggy's help, he can go to loads more places.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38'Today, we're meeting up with his brother Daniel and friend Elle
0:18:38 > 0:18:39'for a little bite to eat.'
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Small fish butty, please.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45What's it like for you guys to see Callum and Iggy's relationship?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48First thing I saw of him was walking from our house
0:18:48 > 0:18:51all the way round my nan's on his own, which is only a short walk,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53but it made a big difference that he could do it on his own.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55He was walking quick, confident.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And Cal, I know that you've been kind of working on routes with Iggy,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- kind of trying to help her with new routes.- Yeah.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04So how does the process work with Iggy?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- Is she quite quick to pick it up? - Yeah, she's not bad.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I mean, the main process really is, I get the hang of the route,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11and then when I've got it, I teach Iggy along with the instructors.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Because, obviously, she doesn't just know where to go.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I need to direct her where to go.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17And what about you, Elle?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You must have noticed a real difference now that
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Callum's got Iggy in his life?- Yeah, he's more independent.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Like, he can out and do whatever he wants,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27and get there with Iggy's help.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's clear from just one trip out with his mates
0:19:32 > 0:19:34that Callum can achieve whatever he wants to
0:19:34 > 0:19:36now that he has Iggy by his side.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I could not be prouder of what Iggy's achieved,
0:19:41 > 0:19:42but also what you've achieved.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44You guys are amazing together,
0:19:44 > 0:19:48and it's so nice for me and all the Blue Peter audience to watch you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Well, it's been amazing, you know, not just to be part of Blue Peter,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54but I really can't thank all the guide dogs team enough.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56The puppy walkers, her trainers.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00I just really can't thank all the people enough. It means so much.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I think back to before. I don't know, I just think, what did I do?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I can't think how I got out and about, and I can't think what I did,
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- either. It's a friend as well.- Mmm. - You know, it's a best friend.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13And let's not forget the Blue Peter website.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15The fan club is getting bigger and better all the time.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's got exclusive content on there,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20such as fun and games with Dory star Ellen DeGeneres...
0:20:20 > 0:20:22This is a horrible game. This is tough. Who came up with this?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Forget it.- Is this all you have? - Shall we start again?- No(!)
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Oh...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30..as well as lots of quizzes and makes, my favourite bit.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32But the online exclusives keep on coming,
0:20:32 > 0:20:37just like interview with Hollywood leg-e-n-d Liam Neeson,
0:20:37 > 0:20:40who'll be talking about his brand-new film, A Monster Calls.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- I'm afraid.- Of course you are afraid...
0:20:46 > 0:20:50..but you will make it through.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51For this is why you called me.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Come on.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59And my favourite thing we do is Fan Of The Month,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03and it all started with Blue Violet Mini Baker.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04And it is, reveal it, Radz...

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Using my mind like Matilda.- Oh, really? OK.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Oh. Oh!

0:22:53 > 0:22:55I'm going to be Lindsey.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- No, Radzi, that's my name.- I know.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59All the info you need is on the Blue Peter website.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01In fact, I'm going to head that right now.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Hi, Linds. Need to get my CBBC account sorted.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Bye!
0:23:07 > 0:23:10So, there you go. Now you know exactly how to do it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11And I'd say now is the perfect time.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Christmas is over, you're on your holidays,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16get your sign-in sorted.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Now, on Blue Peter it's all about the badge,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21and you know that. That's why in 2016,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23we received over 100,000 pieces of post. That's incredible.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- That's amazing, isn't it? - Thank you very much.- Incredible.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Speaking of post, I'm having a little snuggle here
0:23:28 > 0:23:31with this handmade crocheted blanket.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Look at this. It's been sent in by Alana and Matthew.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- That's amazing.- Have a look at that. They're from Lincolnshire.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Guys, you've earned yourselves a Blue Peter badge.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'm going to keep snuggling in it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- It's lovely.- So much effort's gone into that.- Isn't it good?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45There are loads of badges you can earn,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and I'll show you just how many as I open the magic treasure chest.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50You can see the orange one, the green one, the purple one,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53the sports one, the silver one and the blue one.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56All summer we've been challenging you to earn as many
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Blue Peter badges as possible.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00And not only that, but to put them in this snazzy make.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04We're calling it the Blue Peter Badge Baton.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Look at it. I love it.- Now, there is another badge,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10and it's extra special, and it's this bad boy right here.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Oh!- Now, in 2016,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15only a handful of the gold Blue Peter badges were awarded
0:24:15 > 0:24:18for outstanding achievements. And here's just a few of them.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- No.- None of us have a gold badge. - No.- Because that, of course,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23as we all know, is for outstanding achievement.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26It's for doing something very, very special indeed.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29And actually, Toby, we think that you've done something incredibly
0:24:29 > 0:24:31special. Because you kind of mentioned it before.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You're connecting the world with your letters
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and really inspiring people, like the Blue Peter viewers,
0:24:37 > 0:24:38to do exactly the same thing.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41And so for that reason, Toby, if you look in my hand here,
0:24:41 > 0:24:42we've got something very special.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The highest possible accolade we can give you in Blue Peter.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47The gold badge.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- My goodness!- Can we please have a massive round of applause for Toby.
