0:00:02 > 0:00:04In 2017, Blue Peter entered its 60th year,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06and in doing so it hit the headlines.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Presenters test new washing detergent,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Radzi offends pilot,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14and Lindsey challenges shark to a game of hide and seek.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:00:16 > 0:00:17It wasn't like that at all.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Yeah, no. Let's take a look back at what really happened.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- Hello.- Hello. - And welcome to a very
0:00:40 > 0:00:44special look back at an awesome 12 months on Blue Peter.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Hey!- I knew he was going to do that. It has been amazing.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50We've had some brilliant competitions and actually, in total,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53we've had over 30,000 of you getting involved.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Let's talk about the post, because, check this out,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57you sent in so much post to us,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00that we could have filled
0:01:00 > 0:01:031,646 Big Badge walls.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05That deserves an applause.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Come on, everyone, that's amazing.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09As well as that, we've had makes and bakes galore.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Do you remember the Shelley costume?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13That was absolutely incredible.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We've had pancakes with The Sorted Food Team
0:01:15 > 0:01:18and even the Minion cupcakes, who can forget?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Who can forget my favourite bake of all?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21I know what you're going to say.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23The emoji poo, people.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26It was a little bit smelly but it was very tasty.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And of course it wouldn't be BP without some amazing challenges.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Do you remember the mission friction zip wire challenge?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Yes!- Who knew that two books interwoven like that,
0:01:35 > 0:01:36could take so much weight?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37It was good but scary.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43Who also knew a man that was also 7ft tall could serve that fast?
0:01:43 > 0:01:44His name is John Isner,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46one of the fastest servers of all time
0:01:46 > 0:01:49and I attempted to return one of the serves, it was very scary.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- And he made you look tiny as well. - He made me look very small.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Something that made me feel tiny was those sharks.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56My shark challenge, one of the scariest things,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58probably the scariest thing,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00I've ever done on Blue Peter but we got through it.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03One of the muckiest challenges we've ever taken part in was when me and
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Linds trained with the Royal Marine commandos, run VT!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10We're experiencing what it's like to train
0:02:10 > 0:02:12to be Royal Marines commandos.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Over the next 24 hours, you're going to live, eat,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16and breathe like a Royal Marine recruit.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19We're taking on the iconic Mud Run.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Set in the muddy estuary next to the marines' training base,
0:02:23 > 0:02:28the Mud Run has become legendary as being one of the toughest parts of a
0:02:28 > 0:02:33commando's training and we're going to experience what it feels like.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Over the years it's been a classic Blue Peter challenge and for me
0:02:37 > 0:02:41personally, it's been something I've always wanted to try,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44having seen Simon and Matt do it when I was growing up.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50We're tired, we're wet but it's time to meet the mud.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Can I just say, it stinks and it's cold.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We're already wet, so this can only go one way.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- Let's go!- Argh!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Trust me, nothing prepares you for the mud!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Just call crawling through it is so difficult.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12I've never done anything like this.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14But crawling is just the beginning,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17instructor Ben wants us up and running again.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- On your feet!- Then, back down to crawling.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Get down!
0:03:21 > 0:03:27That expression of running through treacle has never been so true.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28This is...
0:03:28 > 0:03:29..look at that.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Roll over! Roll over!
0:03:32 > 0:03:33As if that wasn't enough...
0:03:33 > 0:03:34How do I look?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36..we're told to turn over.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38On your backs! Start crawling.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Push off with your legs, come on!
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Toughest thing I've ever done.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Ben is not letting us get away with anything.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Away we go. Come on.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Let's go, guys. Let's move.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Urgh!- It's getting more and more
0:03:52 > 0:03:54difficult to keep going and we've only
0:03:54 > 0:03:56been doing this for a matter of minutes.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Away we go. On your feet.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Start moving! Come on.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Come on, you two, let's go. Away we go!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06On your feet! In we go!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Thankfully, we're called in.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12That was incredibly tough.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17That is hands down, one of the craziest experiences of my life.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18I can't even speak!
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Radz, this is gross but I actually
0:04:23 > 0:04:26had mud in my ears for weeks after that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- It was grim.- I had it in there for months!
0:04:29 > 0:04:30The lengths we go to for the BP badge
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and of course one of the most sought
0:04:32 > 0:04:34after BP badges is this, the orange badge,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38which we award to Blue Peter competition winners and runners up.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40My favourite competition ever on
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Blue Peter was launched by none other,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45by athletics legend, Dame Jessica Ennis Hill,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and para athletics legend, Richard Whitehead.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52They came into the studio to launch our London 2017 mascot competition,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54which was won by Eleanor.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Now check out these designs here.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57This is Hero and Whizzbee.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00They were turned into the actual mascots used at
0:05:00 > 0:05:03the IFF World Athletics Championships
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and the World Para Athletics Championships.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Didn't they look awesome?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08And that right there, is what I call a competition.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10They went global as well.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11That was incredible.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Something you guys absolutely love
0:05:13 > 0:05:15is a design competition and you did not
0:05:15 > 0:05:19disappoint with our Design A Dragon competition last year.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It was amazing. And of course the winner was Florence.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Cannot wait to see her dragon
0:05:23 > 0:05:25actually brought to life, the real thing,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28on the Great Pagoda at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Very cool.- And speaking of design,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33what about the Awesome Animations competition?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I didn't just think it was awesome, that's what it was called.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39We asked you at home to invent and design a prehistoric creature,
0:05:39 > 0:05:41which the awesome team at Aardman Animations
0:05:41 > 0:05:44would actually turn into a genuine moving picture.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46So many of you liked it,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49you made it our most popular competition in six years,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51over 9,000 of you applied.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Well done.- That is very cool, and of course, last but not least,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57who could forget our Code Breaker competition -
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Fit For Spy, Alex Rider.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, our winner, Alexander,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04actually got to see his name written into Anthony Horowitz's latest book.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08And on top of that, he got the spy experience of a lifetime.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Check this out.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21There's only one way any spy is going to travel to London - by air!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- You ready for this?- Yeah.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Can you see the helicopter over there?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Give it a wave.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Did you ever think for a second when you entered the competition,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44that you'd be flying in a helicopter with me,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46being filmed by the Blue Peter film team,
0:06:46 > 0:06:47on your way to the River Thames?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Never. Fab.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Well done. You are well worthy of that badge.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- And there's the Shard.- The one that's like that?
0:06:55 > 0:06:56It goes to a point, yeah.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And that's the BT Tower just there.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03You can see it sticking up just by where the Wheel is.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05That's the London Eye just there, look.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Wow!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17End of the journey.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You ready to go inside and meet Anthony?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Mm-mm.- Up top. Follow me.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Alex, welcome to my London home.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31How nice to meet you. Congratulations.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33And you're going to be in my book, is that the idea?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Mm-mm.- Then let's go up to my office. Come on, it's this way.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39It's a rather unusual way to get to an office, look.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I'm going through here.- It just keeps getting cooler, doesn't it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45- After you.- Wow!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Before our very eyes, Anthony writes Code Breaker,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Alex Randall into Never Say Die,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52to be read by Alex Rider fans around the world.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58What an end to the ultimate spy adventure.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00No matter how many times I've seen orange badges
0:08:00 > 0:08:02being earned on Blue Peter,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05it still amazes me what entering a competition can do.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09How cool was Alex?!
0:08:09 > 0:08:10And of course that all came about
0:08:10 > 0:08:13because he decided to enter a Blue Peter competition,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16which means the next one could be you.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18That's right and that's what Blue Peter is all about,
0:08:18 > 0:08:19it's all about you lot at home.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Because we absolutely love receiving
0:08:21 > 0:08:23your competition entries, your poems,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27your posts, your pictures, your 3-D models, Purple Badge forms,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Sport Badge forms, we love it all.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33And at the moment, in total, there's 172,000...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- How many?- ..172,000.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Crazy!- Yeah, of you have BP badges,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41so we think it's a pretty cool club to be a part of.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42And of that super special club
0:08:42 > 0:08:45we only gave out several of the Blue Peter Gold Badges
0:08:45 > 0:08:49to organisations and individuals and one of those
0:08:49 > 0:08:52organisations was none other than the RAF Falcons.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54They were the guys that instructed me in
0:08:54 > 0:08:56the biggest ever, and best ever,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Blue Peter challenge that I've ever been a part of.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And also inspired so many Blue Peter presenters before me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Such a special moment there.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06And a very special person is mountaineer Molly Hughes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08She was the youngest woman ever,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11to climb not one but both sides of Mount Everest,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14and she even took the BP badge along with her.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- What a legend.- And just take a look at how shocked and excited and
0:09:18 > 0:09:19surprised, and chuffed,
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Cressida Cowell is to get her Gold Badge,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25of course, author of How To Train Your Dragon series.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27So to celebrate our Gold Badge holders here on Blue Peter,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29we created the Gold Badge Walk
0:09:29 > 0:09:32in Salford and I got to add a very special person
0:09:32 > 0:09:35that loads of you requested to see on your Purple Badge form.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- It was me?- It wasn't you.- Ah. - It was Mary Berry.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'm at Henley Literary Festival,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44to meet a lady who's inspired a new generation of bakers.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45She's considered the Queen of Cakes,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49and today she has no idea that I'm here, so wish me luck.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Mary, I'm here to surprise you a little bit.
0:09:52 > 0:09:58Because you are so very special and so very loved and important to our
0:09:58 > 0:10:04Blue Peter viewers and of course the essence of Blue Peter is making and
0:10:04 > 0:10:06baking, so we'd like to award you
0:10:06 > 0:10:09with your very own gold Blue Peter badge.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Look at that!
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I'm very honoured and I had no idea.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Congratulations. Thank you so much, Mary.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Thank you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27And from TV royalty, to actual royalty!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We had a very special Gold Badge moment this year
0:10:30 > 0:10:33when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
0:10:33 > 0:10:35joined us in the BP studio.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think you guys have inspired so many people,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41so many children across the country to be able to speak their minds,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43but also to know that they're going
0:10:43 > 0:10:45to be listened to and that that's OK.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49We'd actually like to award you with our highest accolade, it is,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51the Gold Blue Peter badge for your Royal Highnesses.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Wow! Thank you.- Thank you very much. - That's very touching.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Thank you very, very much. - Thank you very much.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- Congratulations.- Congratulations.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59- Thank you so much.- Wow.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00- That's amazing.- Thank you.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01We have won a badge!
0:11:04 > 0:11:05- Linds?- Yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07One word, five syllables
0:11:07 > 0:11:09for best guest ever,
0:11:09 > 0:11:10WrestleMania, baby!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I got to go and I met loads of really cool people
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- and it was the best thing ever. - OK. Calm down.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Another amazing guest we had was JJ McPartland.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21She came on and she absolutely smashed it.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46You would not want to mess with her, would you?!
0:11:46 > 0:11:48As well as that, do you remember David Walliams?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51He came on and he answered viewers' questions
0:11:51 > 0:11:52and he was very funny, might I add.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Well, it's very exciting.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I've never been in the studio before.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Have you not?! And you're wearing a Gold Badge.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Yes, I got a Gold Badge, which is very exciting.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Because there's only been about ten or so given out, is that right?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Not many have been given out. - Not quite, a few more than ten.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07OK. When I got one it was ten.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09They're obviously giving them out to anybody now!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I got this for swimming the Channel ten years ago.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Indeed. Incredible.- I was very excited.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's one of my most prized possessions.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Radz, one I know you loved was Laurence Shahlaei,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20one of the world's strongest men, came on.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22But what an entrance, actually
0:12:22 > 0:12:24pulling a bus of BP fans onto the piazza.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26You can't top that.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Linds, I've got five guests, Triple H, Dean Ambrose, Becky Lynch,
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Sasha Banks and I got to go in the car with Cesaro.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38THEY SING
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yes!
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Cos I went, I'm not sure I mentioned this, WrestleMania, baby!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46You have mentioned it, Radz. We know you love wrestling.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48But we've also had, do you remember
0:12:48 > 0:12:50the Warwick Castle team who came with actual horses
0:12:50 > 0:12:51and I got to joust?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54One of the best live shows ever.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I was not a natural on that horse, was I?
0:12:57 > 0:12:58- You gave it the beans, Linds.- I did.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I did go for it. It's all about the BP badge.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Do you remember when we had
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Dame Jacqueline Wilson as our first-ever guest editor
0:13:04 > 0:13:07on the show and just to top that show off, we had Ali A,
0:13:07 > 0:13:08from Ali A Supercharger,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10doing the most phenomenal takeover
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I think we've ever had in the BP studio
0:13:12 > 0:13:16but, maybe the best guest ever, has to be, no, not you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Ah!- Harry Hill when he came on as
0:13:18 > 0:13:20the best quiz show host for our 59th birthday.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22That was good, wasn't it?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Linds, that was so good, let's watch it again.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Go on.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Spot Shelley!
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Yeah! Well, now.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I love a bit of Spot Shelley.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34But this is Spot Shelley with a difference.
0:13:34 > 0:13:40Before you, you can see five hedgehogs, tortoises, sorry.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Five tortoises but only one is the beloved pet, Shelley.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50All right. So, you have five seconds in which to decide which is which.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52OK. Which is Shelley?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Play along at home, please.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Is it Shell A?
0:13:59 > 0:14:04Is it Shell B, who works at a nail bar at the weekend?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Is it Shell C, who recently went on a blind date with an armadillo?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Is it Shell D, who has a phobia of garlic butter?
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Or is it Shel-E, who is a lot bigger than all the others?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Go on!- Your time starts now.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- What do we think it is? - I think it's C.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Why?
0:14:24 > 0:14:25- Because...- Yeah.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30OK, time's up, Lindsey's team.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- OK, go on, Marion. - What have you decided?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33- Do the honours.- We went for C.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- You've gone for C.- Yeah, we think she was kind of loving the camera,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- wasn't she?- She was loving the camera like she was used to it, yes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Radzi's team?- We picked C because we "C" the right answer.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Did you hear that, Harry, we "C" the right answer?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48You're both saying C.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52So, will the real Shelley please step forward?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54DRUM ROLL
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Oh! Yeah, we didn't really think this through, did we?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Massive Shelley, would you mind giving us a hand?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Just help us... Yes!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Oh! Hello!
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It was C. All right, Shelley, what's that?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Yes. Yes. What?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16You should have gone before you came out. All right!
0:15:16 > 0:15:18How amazing was that? Highlight of the year,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21seeing Harry Hill and Shelley, TV legends together.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- That was amazing. - Another highlight, Linds,
0:15:23 > 0:15:24was that I got to go to WrestleMania!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Yeah, we know, Radz, we got that. - All right.- Another highlight
0:15:27 > 0:15:29was some of the great performances we've had.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Do you remember Flambe Circus?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32- Yes!- They came on.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34They were amazing. But it was touch-and-go
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- because it was so windy that day...- Yes, it was.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38We didn't actually know if they'd be able to perform.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40But they did and they nailed it.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Well done.- And what about the Soweto Skeleton Movers?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46They were genuinely mind-boggling, and flexible.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Oh!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53And the music performances on BP have been amazing.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Of course, we had Sophia Grace...
0:15:57 > 0:16:02# You all talk about me still I bring the fire... #
0:16:02 > 0:16:04..The Vamps...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07# Wide awake, that's OK
0:16:07 > 0:16:09# As long as I'm with you
0:16:09 > 0:16:11# I'll be up all night
0:16:11 > 0:16:13# No sleep
0:16:13 > 0:16:16# Cos I feel like I'm always dreaming... #
0:16:19 > 0:16:20..New Hope Club...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22# Every time you go I come a little undone
0:16:22 > 0:16:26# Even when it hurts I'm holding on to your love like
0:16:26 > 0:16:28# I'm fixed, fixed, fixed
0:16:28 > 0:16:30# You got me fixed, fixed, fixed
0:16:30 > 0:16:32# On you... #
0:16:32 > 0:16:35And The Shades, to name just a few...
0:16:35 > 0:16:37# She's t-t-trouble
0:16:37 > 0:16:39# Like you wouldn't believe
0:16:39 > 0:16:41# She's t-t-trouble
0:16:41 > 0:16:43# But she's amazing to me
0:16:43 > 0:16:45# T-t-trouble
0:16:45 > 0:16:47# That's what your mother would say
0:16:47 > 0:16:49# T-t-trouble
0:16:49 > 0:16:51# And I love her that way... #
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Linds, all that variety, only on one place, Blue Peter, baby!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58That's right. But I think, and maybe our favourite,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I know we're not allowed favourites, was the incredible JP Cooper.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Have a look at this.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17# Our love was strong as a lion
0:17:17 > 0:17:19# Soft as the cotton you lie in
0:17:19 > 0:17:22# Times we got hot like an iron
0:17:22 > 0:17:23# You and I
0:17:25 > 0:17:28# Our hearts have never been broken
0:17:28 > 0:17:30# We were so innocent, darling
0:17:30 > 0:17:33# We used to talk till the morning
0:17:33 > 0:17:34# You and I
0:17:37 > 0:17:41# We had that mixtape on every weekend
0:17:41 > 0:17:44# Had it repeating
0:17:44 > 0:17:46# Had it repeating
0:17:46 > 0:17:49# You were my September song
0:17:49 > 0:17:53# Summer lasted too long
0:17:53 > 0:17:55# Time moves so slowly
0:17:55 > 0:17:57# When you're only 15
0:17:57 > 0:18:01# You were my September song
0:18:01 > 0:18:03# Tell me where have you gone?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07# Do you remember me?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09# We were only 15
0:18:09 > 0:18:11# Sometimes I think that I see your
0:18:11 > 0:18:14# Face in the strangest of places
0:18:14 > 0:18:17# Down on the underground station
0:18:17 > 0:18:20# Passing by
0:18:20 > 0:18:23# And I get a mad sense of danger
0:18:23 > 0:18:25# I feel like my heart couldn't take it
0:18:25 > 0:18:28# Cos if we met we'd be strangers
0:18:28 > 0:18:30# You and I
0:18:32 > 0:18:35# Still I play that mixtape every weekend
0:18:36 > 0:18:39# I got it repeating
0:18:39 > 0:18:41# Got it repeating
0:18:41 > 0:18:44# You were my September song
0:18:44 > 0:18:47# Summer lasted too long
0:18:48 > 0:18:51# Time moves so slowly

0:18:52 > 0:18:56# You were my September song
0:18:56 > 0:18:58# Tell me where have you gone?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01# Do you remember me?
0:19:01 > 0:19:03# We were only 15
0:19:03 > 0:19:08# And I
0:19:08 > 0:19:11# I remember the chorus
0:19:11 > 0:19:14# They were singing it for us
0:19:14 > 0:19:17# I hear that September song
0:19:17 > 0:19:20# And I'm singing along
0:19:20 > 0:19:23# Thinking about you and me
0:19:23 > 0:19:25# Oh what a melody
0:19:25 > 0:19:27# Oh, no
0:19:27 > 0:19:30# And as the years go by
0:19:30 > 0:19:33# You will still be my
0:19:36 > 0:19:39# Be my
0:19:41 > 0:19:47# You are my
0:19:52 > 0:19:55# You were my September song

0:20:14 > 0:20:19# And I
0:20:19 > 0:20:22# I remember the chorus
0:20:22 > 0:20:25# They were singing it for us. #

0:22:13 > 0:22:16We've already done it on the website but it's more exciting to do it here

0:22:43 > 0:22:47head to the Blue Peter website and get involved with Fan Club.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53Are we on?
0:22:53 > 0:22:54- Oops, we're on.- Really?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Let's do this.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59"I pooped on my dad's hand when I was a baby."
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Eugh!- I very much hope that Blue Peter recycle...
0:23:01 > 0:23:02What is happening in my mouth?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- This is nonsense! - Oh, my gosh.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06That's like worst when you were...

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Have you seen the size of these hoses?!
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Argh!
0:23:25 > 0:23:28You like that, my darling?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30That might be an idea that I might patent myself.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I think they're gonna put this up on their website.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Bye!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36A lot of cool stuff going on there.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39And of course you would have recognised the lovely squishy face
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- of Mr Barney Harwood.- Good times.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44But this was of course the year we said goodbye to Mr Barney Harwood.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46He gave us thrills, he give us spills but above all else,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48he gave us loads of laughs.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51It's time for Blue Peter's Barney Harwood,
0:23:51 > 0:23:52to become the magnificent,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54legendary, and,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56um, beautiful,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Queen of Hearts.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I think you'll agree that I look the part thanks to
0:24:00 > 0:24:02some very talented members of the team here.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03OK. I think I've got it.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I think I've got a funny joke.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It's simple, it's subtle...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10..but I think it's funny. Here goes.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Yeah, my boots.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Ah, so cheeky.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Always sticking their tongue out!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Like that?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Do you have plans for the weekend?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Well, maybe we should talk about that later, should we?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'll be honest, I didn't expect to be going on a date with a robot this
0:24:32 > 0:24:34weekend but it's turned out quite well for me, thank you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Hey, Barney, remember this fella?
0:24:36 > 0:24:37I do. Is it the fella?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Well, it is a giant African bull frog.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43The same frog that you held on your first-ever Blue Peter show.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46So as your last challenge we thought maybe you could take it one step
0:24:46 > 0:24:48further and give him a kiss.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51But no kissing frogs at home, guys.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Go on, Barney! Go on Barney!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02And in three, two, one, let's do it!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Oh! It felt good.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Yeah!
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Amazing!
0:25:19 > 0:25:21And now for the most dangerous manoeuvre of the day.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23If I am just slightly out of position,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25someone could get seriously hurt.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Edge out, edge out, edge out.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I mean, just look at that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Good work, everyone. Good stuff.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42But what happens if you take each one of those moves
0:25:42 > 0:25:44and put them together?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Well, it is my final challenge.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48MUSIC: Time To Say Goodbye by Sarah Brightman
0:26:04 > 0:26:07And every great performance needs a big finish.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Oh!
0:26:13 > 0:26:16What a man he is!
0:26:16 > 0:26:19But don't be sad, because there's still loads coming up on BP.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22There certainly is, and if you don't believe us, check this out.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Coming up in 2018.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28This is indoor surfing.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Check this out!
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Urgh!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Come on, team!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Oh, I don't want to look down.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44We're not going out over there?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47No, stop it! What?
0:26:47 > 0:26:52Freestyle snowboarding.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Did you see that?
0:26:54 > 0:26:58We're here for BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Whoohoo! High five.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Oh, my goodness.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04This is unbelievable.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Yay!
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Wow!
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Bring it on.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14And that is just for starters.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16But now, it's over to you,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18because if there's anything you'd
