7:32:06 > 7:32:13.
7:32:17 > 7:32:20It's our first live show of 2014 and Jedward are here!
7:32:20 > 7:32:22CHEERING
7:32:22 > 7:32:24They'll show how to make these very cool wrist bands.
7:32:24 > 7:32:30Radzi will be asking astronaut Chris Hadfield your questions.
7:32:30 > 7:32:34And we'll see a brand-new world record attempt by Chris O'Brien.
7:32:34 > 7:32:39It's all happening live right here, right now on today's Blue Peter.
7:32:56 > 7:32:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
7:32:58 > 7:33:01- Hello!- Welcome to Blue Peter,
7:33:01 > 7:33:04and, boy, do we have a whopper of a show for you today.
7:33:04 > 7:33:09There's a live world-record attempt happening in 24 minutes' time.
7:33:09 > 7:33:12In fact, 24 minutes and 16 seconds.
7:33:12 > 7:33:16- To be precise. We are excited. - We are very excited.
7:33:16 > 7:33:19- Jedward have a new series called Jedward's Big Adventure!- Woo!
7:33:19 > 7:33:21That is them "wooing" by the way.
7:33:21 > 7:33:28- Big Adventure!- And that got us thinking. If you had an adventure,
7:33:28 > 7:33:31- what would it be? - What would yours be, Rads?
7:33:31 > 7:33:35I'd go white-water rafting in New Zealand and bungee jumping.
7:33:35 > 7:33:38That'd be a fun one. I think I would go for a scary one.
7:33:38 > 7:33:42I'd face my fears and go scuba diving with whales.
7:33:42 > 7:33:44- That would be a hard one. - It would be a hard one.
7:33:44 > 7:33:47Whatever yours is, head to the website:
7:33:47 > 7:33:51Let us know what would be your Big Adventure and why?
7:33:51 > 7:33:56We'll read out as many comments as we can towards the end of the show.
7:33:56 > 7:33:59- Yes, let's walk and talk. - Let's do it.
7:33:59 > 7:34:02It's the new year, it's 2014, but some things that don't change
7:34:02 > 7:34:05are the quality of the posts that you at home send in.
7:34:05 > 7:34:09- This is by Joseph, Daniel and Benedict.- This is unbelievable.
7:34:09 > 7:34:12It's a calendar. They started it in the summer
7:34:12 > 7:34:15and just look at the detail on that.
7:34:15 > 7:34:19They've got spring, St Patrick's Day, Easter, it's all there.
7:34:19 > 7:34:22- Well done.- Absolutely, well done. Fantastic work.
7:34:22 > 7:34:26That is so good. We've got this one from Ella, a drawing of Jedward.
7:34:26 > 7:34:29- Look at the hair!- There it goes!
7:34:29 > 7:34:31Here they are! It's the real Jedward!
7:34:31 > 7:34:33John, do your forfeit, doing a forfeit.
7:34:33 > 7:34:35Oh!
7:34:35 > 7:34:38Remember, guys, don't do that at home! Only Jedward can do that!
7:34:38 > 7:34:41It's not your zone yet! Go away, Jedward.
7:34:41 > 7:34:43We've got to control them.
7:34:43 > 7:34:46This is the best of 2013,
7:34:46 > 7:34:47it's all our best moments,
7:34:47 > 7:34:51and have a look at this Radzi. Don't want to rub it in but Lindsey wins.
7:34:51 > 7:34:54It's all in the past, Lindsey, it's all in the past!
7:34:54 > 7:34:57Now, this is by Charlotte, she's from Basingstoke,
7:34:57 > 7:35:00and look at this fantastic glass coaster she's made.
7:35:00 > 7:35:04- How has she done that?- She did it on holiday. How brilliant is that?
7:35:04 > 7:35:06Charlotte, well done.
7:35:06 > 7:35:10That is amazing. Thank you all so much for your posts,
7:35:10 > 7:35:13it's honestly one of the best bits of the job, thank you.
7:35:13 > 7:35:17You probably know this about me already but I'm sports mad.
7:35:17 > 7:35:21I've got a brand-new sport for you, disc golf.
7:35:21 > 7:35:23You may not have heard of it but here it is.
7:35:23 > 7:35:27Disc golf originated in the USA in the 1960s
7:35:27 > 7:35:30and has grown in popularity worldwide,
7:35:30 > 7:35:33with around 40 courses to play here in the UK.
7:35:33 > 7:35:35It's a mixture of Frisbee and golf
7:35:35 > 7:35:38where the players aim to send the disc from their starting tee
7:35:38 > 7:35:41into a basket in the fewest throws possible.
7:35:42 > 7:35:44How cool does that look?
7:35:44 > 7:35:48To explain more to us about the sport we have brothers Joe and Charlie.
7:35:48 > 7:35:51Welcome to Blue Peter!
7:35:51 > 7:35:55Now, boys, you've brought along with us three types of disc.
7:35:55 > 7:35:59I understand you use different discs as you get closer to the basket.
7:35:59 > 7:36:00- Is that correct?- Yes.
7:36:00 > 7:36:03What would be the first you use when you're furthest away?
7:36:03 > 7:36:08The driver, for very long distances, like, if you are on the tee.
7:36:08 > 7:36:11It's got a thin rim so it's very aerodynamic.
7:36:11 > 7:36:13Is that a little bit lighter?
7:36:13 > 7:36:16Yeah, it's lighter than usual cos I'm a bit younger.
7:36:16 > 7:36:20Then you use a disc called the mid-range. What would that be for?
7:36:20 > 7:36:27Well, you would throw it from about 70 metres from the basket
7:36:27 > 7:36:33and you would aim to get it near to it and not always in.
7:36:33 > 7:36:35Then what would you use, Charlie?
7:36:35 > 7:36:38A putter. It's a bit thicker, for more accurate shots
7:36:38 > 7:36:40when it's very close to the basket
7:36:40 > 7:36:42and this is what we'll be focussing on today.
7:36:42 > 7:36:45Let's focus on it today. You are the experts.
7:36:45 > 7:36:47So, there's the basket, just over there.
7:36:47 > 7:36:49How do I play this sport?
7:36:49 > 7:36:53OK, so, anyone can play it, you just need the right technique.
7:36:53 > 7:36:57So you have the disc in front and the power comes from the legs.
7:36:57 > 7:36:59So you need bendy legs.
7:36:59 > 7:37:01You want to go...push.
7:37:01 > 7:37:03As simple as that.
7:37:03 > 7:37:05So, push.
7:37:05 > 7:37:07Ooooh! OK.
7:37:07 > 7:37:10You both make this look so easy. Look at that!
7:37:10 > 7:37:11What shall I focus on this time?
7:37:11 > 7:37:14You should focus on the middle pull
7:37:14 > 7:37:18so when you're releasing, you have to try and shake hands
7:37:18 > 7:37:20with the basket.
7:37:20 > 7:37:25Pick a point on the basket and just, like, stick with it.
7:37:25 > 7:37:26Pick a point...
7:37:29 > 7:37:33Ooh! It was the rim. I'm getting there, boys, I am getting there.
7:37:33 > 7:37:36Now, the sport is something that actually runs in your family
7:37:36 > 7:37:40cos your dad is UK number one... and he's here today.
7:37:40 > 7:37:42Time to welcome to Blue Peter Chris!
7:37:42 > 7:37:45CHEERING
7:37:45 > 7:37:48We've invited you to Blue Peter for a very special reason.
7:37:48 > 7:37:49What's that reason?
7:37:49 > 7:37:52Today I'm going to be doing a world-record attempt
7:37:52 > 7:37:54to see how many discs I can get into the basket from ten metres.
7:37:54 > 7:37:58From ten metres. There's a minimum number for the world record.
7:37:58 > 7:38:00I've got to get 30 within one minute.
7:38:00 > 7:38:04- That's one every two seconds. - Yes. No pressure, of course(!)
7:38:04 > 7:38:06None at all(!) Do we think he can do it?
7:38:06 > 7:38:10- Yep.- Yeah.- Crew, do you think he can do it? ALL:- Yes.
7:38:10 > 7:38:14I think he can do it as well. We're keeping the faith, Chris. Stay tuned.
7:38:14 > 7:38:18It's guaranteed to be a nail-biter. Lindsey, back to you.
7:38:18 > 7:38:23Thank you. They've been practising all day. Massive good luck, Chris.
7:38:23 > 7:38:28That's happening in 19 minutes... Ooh! 18 minutes and counting!
7:38:28 > 7:38:30We are very excited about that.
7:38:30 > 7:38:32Have you been watching Stargazing Live?
7:38:32 > 7:38:35If not, the last episode of the series
7:38:35 > 7:38:37is tonight, BBC Two, at eight o'clock.
7:38:37 > 7:38:39Make sure you're watching because
7:38:39 > 7:38:43you'll see Dara O'Briain, as he experiences the type of acceleration
7:38:43 > 7:38:45you get in a space shuttle.
7:38:45 > 7:38:48Whoa, that's tough!
7:38:48 > 7:38:50Oh, wow!
7:38:50 > 7:38:52And speaking of space, I'm very jealous
7:38:52 > 7:38:56because this week Radzi got to go and meet a real-life astronaut.
7:38:56 > 7:38:58It's so unfair! Let's see how he got on.
7:39:02 > 7:39:07Commander Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency
7:39:07 > 7:39:09has been to space three times.
7:39:11 > 7:39:16He's spent just under six months in orbit, five months in one go,
7:39:16 > 7:39:21and he's clocked up 15 hours of space walks in his space suit.
7:39:21 > 7:39:27And we, Blue Peter, have come to meet the man himself
7:39:27 > 7:39:30and ask all of your questions.
7:39:34 > 7:39:39Ah... O-OK, w-we're not in space as such.
7:39:39 > 7:39:42We're, um...in the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, actually,
7:39:42 > 7:39:46but we are going to answer your questions.
7:39:46 > 7:39:49Commander Hadfield, it's an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet you.
7:39:49 > 7:39:51Thanks, Radzi, it's really nice to see you.
7:39:51 > 7:39:56Once we told viewers we were meeting you, we got hundreds of questions.
7:39:56 > 7:39:59- Could we ask you a few of them now? - I'll do my best, sure.
7:39:59 > 7:40:02One from Star Breezy Banana says, "How does it feel in space?
7:40:02 > 7:40:05"Did you ever feel claustrophobic in your space suit?
7:40:05 > 7:40:08"And did the helmet ever get annoying?"
7:40:08 > 7:40:10When you're outside in a space suit
7:40:10 > 7:40:13it's probably one of the weirdest feelings in the world.
7:40:13 > 7:40:16You might feel claustrophobic because you're inside your suit,
7:40:16 > 7:40:20so you feel like you're closed in, but when you look through the visor,
7:40:20 > 7:40:22you are out in the universe,
7:40:22 > 7:40:26so you might feel the opposite of claustrophobic - agoraphobic -
7:40:26 > 7:40:28being afraid of wide-open spaces.
7:40:28 > 7:40:31I think it's possible maybe to feel claustrophobic -
7:40:31 > 7:40:36afraid of a small space - and afraid of a big space at the same time.
7:40:36 > 7:40:39Emerald Trombone Pelican says, "What is it like in space?
7:40:39 > 7:40:43"And if you burp, does it mess up your helmet?"
7:40:43 > 7:40:45In space, it's sort of like magic
7:40:45 > 7:40:48because you're floating and flying the whole time.
7:40:48 > 7:40:52It's like you have a superpower where you can fly.
7:40:52 > 7:40:55But one of the downsides is burping.
7:40:55 > 7:40:58Because if you think about how burping works,
7:40:58 > 7:41:00the gas is at the top of your stomach
7:41:00 > 7:41:03and the liquid and the solid, the food and drink,
7:41:03 > 7:41:05is at the bottom of your stomach
7:41:05 > 7:41:08and when you burp, you're getting the gas off the top of the stomach.
7:41:08 > 7:41:12If there's no gravity, the gas doesn't float to the top
7:41:12 > 7:41:15and the heavy stuff doesn't go to the bottom, so it's all mixed.
7:41:15 > 7:41:18If you try to burp in space, you'll actually throw up every time.
7:41:18 > 7:41:21Oh, wow, I didn't know that at all.
7:41:21 > 7:41:26Salmon Party Dolphin says, "Do you have a bedroom in a rocket?
7:41:26 > 7:41:28"And is there a comfy bed?"
7:41:28 > 7:41:31Without gravity, you never lie down.
7:41:31 > 7:41:32In fact, there's no down.
7:41:32 > 7:41:36So instead we have a sleeping bag that is just tied to the wall
7:41:36 > 7:41:40with a shoelace, and when it's bedtime, we put on pyjamas
7:41:40 > 7:41:43and then you sort of float down into the sleeping bag
7:41:43 > 7:41:45and it's got armholes in it.
7:41:45 > 7:41:49and now you're just barely tethered to the wall with a string,
7:41:49 > 7:41:51sort of like a balloon on a string,
7:41:51 > 7:41:54and you can relax every muscle in your body.
7:41:54 > 7:41:57You close the little door of your booth you're sleeping in.
7:41:57 > 7:42:00You don't need a pillow, you don't need to roll over.
7:42:00 > 7:42:03Just everything is perfectly relaxed.
7:42:03 > 7:42:06It's the best sleep of your whole life.
7:42:06 > 7:42:08I'd like to do that, actually.
7:42:08 > 7:42:11White Pancake Mango says, "You are my inspiration.
7:42:11 > 7:42:12"Did you always want to be an astronaut?
7:42:12 > 7:42:14"If you weren't an astronaut, what would you be?"
7:42:14 > 7:42:18I think it's important for people to remember that you're going to
7:42:18 > 7:42:21grow up to be something, whether you choose it or not.
7:42:21 > 7:42:23You're going to grow up to be something.
7:42:23 > 7:42:27I decided when I was nine years old that I wanted to be an astronaut
7:42:27 > 7:42:29so I started turning myself into one.
7:42:29 > 7:42:34All the little decisions, what book to read, what TV show will I watch,
7:42:34 > 7:42:37just sort of always thinking, "Someday maybe I'll be an astronaut
7:42:37 > 7:42:39"so I should know more about this."
7:42:39 > 7:42:41More about telescopes, all sorts of things.
7:42:41 > 7:42:45So I learned to be a scuba diver. I learned to be a pilot.
7:42:45 > 7:42:48I learned to be an engineer at university.
7:42:48 > 7:42:50I learned to speak other languages.
7:42:50 > 7:42:53I tried to do a lot of things that were fun and interesting
7:42:53 > 7:42:56and then maybe some day I'd also get to be an astronaut.
7:42:56 > 7:43:00Silver Tornado Pelican asks, "Who inspired you?"
7:43:00 > 7:43:04I find myself inspired by just about everybody that I talk to.
7:43:04 > 7:43:08You know lots of things I don't. You've been places I've never been.
7:43:08 > 7:43:11You can even talk to someone far younger than you
7:43:11 > 7:43:13and learn things from them
7:43:13 > 7:43:15so it's kind of a nice way to go through life.
7:43:15 > 7:43:17Be inspired by everybody that you meet.
7:43:17 > 7:43:19It was an absolute inspiration talking to you.
7:43:19 > 7:43:22You've done some incredible things in your life,
7:43:22 > 7:43:24- but have you got yourself a Blue Peter badge?- I don't.
7:43:24 > 7:43:30Well, it is my honour to present it to you. It's more than well deserved.
7:43:30 > 7:43:32Well, thank you very much, Radzi, that's really nice to have.
7:43:32 > 7:43:36I'll just keep this floating around in case we need it.
7:43:36 > 7:43:41MUSIC: Theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey"
7:43:41 > 7:43:43- Do you know what, that guy...? - So cool!
7:43:43 > 7:43:46Probably the most inspirational man I've ever met. Quality!
7:43:46 > 7:43:50Now, back in 2009, the likes of Olly Murs, Stacey Solomon,
7:43:50 > 7:43:54even Joe McElderry were all competing against a certain Irish duo
7:43:54 > 7:43:55for a record contract.
7:43:55 > 7:43:58That's right. Fast forward five years,
7:43:58 > 7:44:00and they're now the stars of their very own CBBC show.
7:44:00 > 7:44:05Let's have a look at how Jedward took over our telly screens.
7:44:05 > 7:44:07Twin brothers John and Edward Grimes
7:44:07 > 7:44:10burst onto television screens as contestants on the X Factor.
7:44:10 > 7:44:14Mentored by Louis Walsh, they finished sixth overall.
7:44:14 > 7:44:16Jedward went on to release three albums,
7:44:16 > 7:44:19Planet Jedward, Victory and Young Love.
7:44:19 > 7:44:22They've twice represented Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest.
7:44:22 > 7:44:25Since then, they've become regular faces on CBBC,
7:44:25 > 7:44:27making appearances on Dani's Castle,
7:44:27 > 7:44:31as well as having their very own show, Jedward's Big Adventure.
7:44:31 > 7:44:35Their third series starts on 20th January on CBBC
7:44:35 > 7:44:38and it's going to be Jepic!
7:44:38 > 7:44:39And here they are now, it's Jedward!
7:44:39 > 7:44:41CHEERING
7:44:41 > 7:44:43Great to be here on Blue Peter.
7:44:43 > 7:44:45We love having you here on Blue Peter,
7:44:45 > 7:44:48and you guys love accessorising clothes.
7:44:48 > 7:44:51Yes. Always really creative, we always encourage creativity.
7:44:51 > 7:44:53This jacket we have on now is made by an awesome fan, it says
7:44:53 > 7:44:56- "When the sun comes..." - Do you know what it says?
7:44:56 > 7:44:59Says, we're going to be heroes, OK? Anyway, we like the jacket.
7:44:59 > 7:45:00We like pimping our clothes.
7:45:00 > 7:45:03It's a little bit sharp so there's a health and safety issue there
7:45:03 > 7:45:06- cos you keep banging into me, but I love it.- They're studs!
7:45:06 > 7:45:08It's really fun.
7:45:08 > 7:45:11It is fun, and we are going to be making a really cool thing today,
7:45:11 > 7:45:14we're going to be making some epic Jedward wristbands.
7:45:14 > 7:45:17All the stars are wearing them! Everybody wants these bracelets!
7:45:17 > 7:45:20- We'll teach you how to make them.- So easy and fun to make, aren't they?
7:45:20 > 7:45:23- If you have to wear a bracelet, this is the one.- This is the one.
7:45:23 > 7:45:26You are going to need some ringpulls, from a few cans.
7:45:26 > 7:45:28Close-up! Close-up!
7:45:28 > 7:45:31You'll need an old T-shirt or some shoelaces,
7:45:31 > 7:45:34and you'll also need some scissors and a bit of sandpaper.
7:45:34 > 7:45:35You guys are great models.
7:45:35 > 7:45:38No, wait! The exits are to the right, the left and the back,
7:45:38 > 7:45:40just in case it goes wrong.
7:45:40 > 7:45:43- We're not on a plane, we're in the Blue Peter studio.- I know, but...
7:45:43 > 7:45:46If you want to make them, all the details are on the website:
7:45:46 > 7:45:49- So shall we get started? - Let's get started.- Let's do it.
7:45:49 > 7:45:52What we need to do is get some ringpulls first.
7:45:52 > 7:45:55They might be a little bit sharp.
7:45:55 > 7:45:58First you need to get your sandpaper and just file them down.
7:45:58 > 7:46:00Don't throw away your can...
7:46:00 > 7:46:04- Re-use them!- Like, I think this is the best thing ever, OK?
7:46:04 > 7:46:07We actually bought our cousin something similar to this
7:46:07 > 7:46:10and she was freaking out. Friends asking, "where did you get this?"
7:46:10 > 7:46:12Now we're showing you how to make them.
7:46:12 > 7:46:15It means way more to people when you give them something you've made.
7:46:15 > 7:46:18Exactly! It's cool to make stuff, and you can personalise it,
7:46:18 > 7:46:20and use your own colours, really have fun with it.
7:46:20 > 7:46:23- And we're all bonding, hey! - We are all bonding.
7:46:23 > 7:46:27- It's the Jedward/Lindsey team. I love it.- We have sandpapered them.
7:46:27 > 7:46:30OK, now they're nice and safe - get an adult to help if you need.
7:46:30 > 7:46:34- Always ask an adult, or Jedward. - If we're in the neighbourhood!
7:46:34 > 7:46:37Then you need to line up your ringpulls.
7:46:37 > 7:46:39I've done mine so the bigger holes are at the top,
7:46:39 > 7:46:41and that'll make it a little bit easier for you.
7:46:41 > 7:46:44- Bigger holes at the top. - There you go, just like so.
7:46:44 > 7:46:47Then you need to get your old T-shirt and cut a strip out of it.
7:46:47 > 7:46:50I can't wait, this is like Jedward's Big Adventure.
7:46:50 > 7:46:53I can't wait to be wearing this on Jedward's Big Adventure.
7:46:53 > 7:46:55I'm, like, "Wait, look over there, that's an elephant!"
7:46:55 > 7:46:57But anyway, moving on...
7:46:57 > 7:47:00Back to the studio! The next thing you need to do is,
7:47:00 > 7:47:03once you've cut your T-shirt, make sure it's about 3cm wide
7:47:03 > 7:47:05and - I'm going to demonstrate on you -
7:47:05 > 7:47:08that it can go round your wrist with a little bit extra material
7:47:08 > 7:47:11- so that means you can tie it later. - It's just so easy.
7:47:11 > 7:47:13It's so easy and fun to make. They really are great.
7:47:13 > 7:47:18For people watching now who don't know who we are, we're Jedward.
7:47:18 > 7:47:19Can you stretch it?
7:47:19 > 7:47:22- What you need to do is stretch... - Moving on...
7:47:22 > 7:47:26..then your T-shirt will naturally go into a nice little curl,
7:47:26 > 7:47:29- like that.- These are ones I picked earlier. Red, green...
7:47:29 > 7:47:33Then you need to start weaving them through your ringpull.
7:47:33 > 7:47:36First, I'm going to go under and through, then I'm going to go over.
7:47:36 > 7:47:40- Under, over, under, like a wave. - Exactly.
7:47:40 > 7:47:43It's going to be the next biggest hit, under, over, under, over...
7:47:43 > 7:47:45Anyway. Moving on...
7:47:45 > 7:47:48You know what? I thought working with Hacker was hard
7:47:48 > 7:47:51- but this is a whole new level. - How would you describe this moment?
7:47:51 > 7:47:53- Beautiful, Jepic.- Perfect!
7:47:53 > 7:47:55Oxford Dictionary, if you're watching...
7:47:55 > 7:47:58We actually went to Oxford on Jedward's Big Adventure!
7:47:58 > 7:48:02You've got two rows of string like that, and you need to weave
7:48:02 > 7:48:04under and over, over and under, just like that.
7:48:04 > 7:48:07Once you've done a few, it should start looking like this
7:48:07 > 7:48:10and you can use as many ringpulls as you need.
7:48:10 > 7:48:13- Then it's the tying bit, isn't it? - This is one we prepared earlier.
7:48:13 > 7:48:15It is. You guys did this as well.
7:48:15 > 7:48:18Next step is, you need to tie a knot and leave a little gap at the end
7:48:18 > 7:48:21and this is where your toggle will go through.
7:48:21 > 7:48:24- Guys, have you worn Duffle coats before?- Yes.- To stay warm.
7:48:24 > 7:48:28To keep warm in the winter. Well, this toggle works like a Duffle coat
7:48:28 > 7:48:31because at the end, you are going to... Just finding a good ringpull,
7:48:31 > 7:48:34- like that, stick it through... - Can we get pizza later?
7:48:34 > 7:48:37Yes, we'll have a CBBC party.
7:48:37 > 7:48:41Everybody watching at home, take a picture of us! Smile!
7:48:41 > 7:48:44Oh, dear, this is quickly turning into chaos.
7:48:44 > 7:48:46But the good news is that we are almost done
7:48:46 > 7:48:48and the last thing you need to do,
7:48:48 > 7:48:51when your bracelet's finished, it should look something like this.
7:48:51 > 7:48:55- Get it round your wrist, how cool is that?- Here's my one, it's designer!
7:48:55 > 7:48:57If you want even more from Jedward you can go online
7:48:57 > 7:49:01after the show at six o'clock, they'll be doing a live webchat.
7:49:01 > 7:49:03We're going to be answering all your questions.
7:49:03 > 7:49:06Now over to the man himself, check him out.
7:49:06 > 7:49:09Come on, Radzi. Woo! You've got cool hair, we've got cool hair!
7:49:09 > 7:49:11Why, thank you, Jedward!
7:49:11 > 7:49:14I'm wearing my bracelet with pride, it has to be said,
7:49:14 > 7:49:16the red and white Arsenal colours, yes!
7:49:16 > 7:49:19Now, feast your eyes on this. This is a picture
7:49:19 > 7:49:23made by Toby and Lillian of a band called the Pentatonix.
7:49:23 > 7:49:26They're a little bit special because they don't use instruments,
7:49:26 > 7:49:28they simply use their voices.
7:49:28 > 7:49:33Online, they've amassed a massive 155 million-plus views.
7:49:33 > 7:49:36And Lindsey and Barney got to meet them, and here's what happened.
7:49:38 > 7:49:39Here we go.
7:49:39 > 7:49:43# Maybe it's the way she walks! #
7:49:43 > 7:49:46- That's rubbish! - # Straight to my heart... #
7:49:46 > 7:49:49So, listen, we're going to go see a really cool band.
7:49:49 > 7:49:53- Pentatonix.- Yeah, and they don't have instruments, just their voices.
7:49:53 > 7:49:56So what are we going to do? Because they rely on having skill.
7:49:56 > 7:49:58- Huh?- I think we'll be OK.
7:49:58 > 7:50:01- I think I've got a beautiful voice. - I don't think THAT.
7:50:01 > 7:50:05- I think my voice is like creamy chocolate.- It's not like that!- It is!
7:50:05 > 7:50:07'Let's agree to disagree on that one.
7:50:07 > 7:50:09'Pentatonix were in Manchester
7:50:09 > 7:50:12'rehearsing for the UK leg of their sell-out world tour.'
7:50:12 > 7:50:14I'm actually really looking forward to this.
7:50:14 > 7:50:19- I'm worried.- Why? - Cos you can't sing!
7:50:19 > 7:50:22'Pentatonix first formed two years ago
7:50:22 > 7:50:26'for an American TV competition called The Sing-Off, which they won.
7:50:26 > 7:50:29'Since then, they've exploded onto the music scene,
7:50:29 > 7:50:31'becoming famous for their unique take on popular songs.'
7:50:31 > 7:50:33THEY HARMONISE
7:50:33 > 7:50:35- Hi!- Don't stop, carry on!
7:50:35 > 7:50:39- So we've got Kevin, Kirsty, Avi, Scott , Mitch.- Yes.
7:50:39 > 7:50:42- And you make up Pentatonix?- We do.
7:50:42 > 7:50:44How did you get your name?
7:50:44 > 7:50:46Yeah, our name Pentatonix comes from the pentatonic scale,
7:50:46 > 7:50:50which is five notes, there's five of us and the pentatonic scale is...
7:50:50 > 7:50:53HE SINGS SCALE
7:50:53 > 7:50:55What is a cappella? Can you explain?
7:50:55 > 7:50:58It's basically just music where you only use your voices.
7:50:58 > 7:51:02So like a band has all the different parts, like guitar, bass and keys,
7:51:02 > 7:51:05you recreate that using just your voices. You're awesome, by the way!
7:51:05 > 7:51:07THEY LAUGH
7:51:07 > 7:51:10That snare drum. HE MAKES SNARE DRUM SOUND
7:51:10 > 7:51:12LAUGHTER
7:51:12 > 7:51:14How do you work out what you're going to do
7:51:14 > 7:51:16and how you're going to put things together to make a song?
7:51:16 > 7:51:19Cos today you're going to show us - good luck -
7:51:19 > 7:51:21something us we can join in with
7:51:21 > 7:51:23so we kind of need to know what to do, really.
7:51:23 > 7:51:26Yeah, well, we'll teach you everything, you can take lead.
7:51:26 > 7:51:29Oh, good(!)
7:51:29 > 7:51:32- Are you going to beatbox, or...? - Sorry?!
7:51:32 > 7:51:34Yeah!
7:51:34 > 7:51:36What song do you think can we sing?
7:51:36 > 7:51:38I think the best song would be Video Killed the Radio Star.
7:51:38 > 7:51:42How does it sound, so we know what we're aiming for?
7:51:42 > 7:51:45- # You are - # Ooh-ah
7:51:45 > 7:51:48- # A radio star - # Radio star
7:51:48 > 7:51:52- # You are - # Ooh-ah
7:51:52 > 7:51:54- # A radio star - # Star - BEATBOXING
7:51:54 > 7:51:56- # Star - BEATBOXING
7:51:56 > 7:51:58# Sta-a-a-ar!
7:51:58 > 7:52:01HE BEATBOXES
7:52:01 > 7:52:05- Oh!- How?! How can we even attempt to even...? How?
7:52:05 > 7:52:08We can do it. We'll teach you. It's more simple than it sounds.
7:52:08 > 7:52:10- Yeah, it definitely is.- OK.
7:52:10 > 7:52:13'The band were being kind. We really did have a lot to learn.
7:52:13 > 7:52:16'So the only thing to do was to split up and concentrate
7:52:16 > 7:52:18'on our own parts of the song.'
7:52:18 > 7:52:20I thought if we sit at the piano and play the notes through,
7:52:20 > 7:52:23that would make more sense to me cos I play the piano.
7:52:23 > 7:52:25- Shall we start with the basics and then work up?- Absolutely.
7:52:25 > 7:52:27I'm not ready for complicated yet.
7:52:27 > 7:52:30- You know I'm not cos you heard me practise.- You will get this.
7:52:30 > 7:52:35HE PLAYS MELODY OF "VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR"
7:52:35 > 7:52:39You start off with boots and cats, so the boots is the kick. Boots.
7:52:39 > 7:52:41HE BEATBOXES BASS DRUM SOUND
7:52:41 > 7:52:42LINDSEY IMITATES
7:52:42 > 7:52:45# A radio sta-a-a-arr-w!
7:52:45 > 7:52:47- That's the record scratch. - I like that bit.
7:52:47 > 7:52:50- # A-a-a-arrw. # - Yeah.
7:52:50 > 7:52:52- BOTH:- Arrw!- Boots and... Tss!
7:52:52 > 7:52:54So, boots, 'n'...
7:52:54 > 7:52:55Boots 'n'...
7:52:55 > 7:52:58If we break it into three sections, first section is what it is,
7:52:58 > 7:53:00second section with the "arrw" at the end.
7:53:00 > 7:53:03- Feel this. - HE MAKES SNARE DRUM SOUND
7:53:03 > 7:53:06- Whoa! Your whole throat's going... - Exactly.
7:53:06 > 7:53:08Your whole throat kind of drops.
7:53:08 > 7:53:10# Dar-dar, dar-dar, dar.. #
7:53:10 > 7:53:13# Dar-dar, dar-dar, dar... #
7:53:13 > 7:53:15HE COMBINES BASS AND SNARE SOUND
7:53:15 > 7:53:17THEY LAUGH

7:53:23 > 7:53:25- Right, gap. - # V-video k-killed... #
7:53:25 > 7:53:30This is really hard... I'm so out of breath, just after two bars.
7:53:30 > 7:53:31- Oh, my gosh.- So when will I breathe?
7:53:31 > 7:53:35# V-v-v-video ki-killed the radio star... #
7:53:35 > 7:53:36- You got it.- Yeah, OK!
7:53:36 > 7:53:37HE BEATBOXES
7:53:37 > 7:53:39SHE GROANS
7:53:39 > 7:53:41Video killed the TV presenter! HE LAUGHS
7:53:41 > 7:53:45THEY BEATBOX A FASTER, COMPLEX TEMPO
7:53:45 > 7:53:47- There we go, yeah!- Finally!
7:53:47 > 7:53:50- There we go! - That only took three days!
7:53:50 > 7:53:53'OK, so I was exaggerating. A bit!
7:53:53 > 7:53:56'But there was no joking with the surprise that Scott
7:53:56 > 7:53:57'was about to spring on us.'
7:53:57 > 7:53:59What was the point of doing this
7:53:59 > 7:54:01- if we're not going to perform it for an audience?- I agree.
7:54:01 > 7:54:03What do you mean?
7:54:03 > 7:54:06We have a specially invited audience so you can debut your new talent.
7:54:06 > 7:54:09- Shall we do it?- Let's do it! - Let's do it!
7:54:09 > 7:54:12'And with that, we're off to perform in Manchester city centre,
7:54:12 > 7:54:16'singing a cappella to a real live audience.
7:54:16 > 7:54:19'You can't say we're not up for a challenge on Blue Peter.'
7:54:19 > 7:54:21- CHEERING - Any last-minute words of advice?
7:54:21 > 7:54:23Um, yeah, just have fun and go for it.
7:54:23 > 7:54:26You guys sounded awesome in rehearsal, so I'm just excited.
7:54:26 > 7:54:29- Let's just have fun. - Excellent. Let's get into position.

7:55:26 > 7:55:29- break a brand-new world record today, aren't you?- I sure am.
7:55:29 > 7:55:32Now, as ever, when attempting to break a world record
7:55:32 > 7:55:35you need a world record adjudicator, and that is where Kirsty comes in.

7:55:46 > 7:55:48so from a distance of ten metres,
7:55:48 > 7:55:52Chris has one minute to get 30 or more discs into the basket.
7:55:52 > 7:55:55It's a tough ask. Kirsty, if you'd like to take your position.
7:55:55 > 7:55:58Chris, how are you feeling, my friend?
7:55:58 > 7:55:59I'm feeling ready, feeling ready.
7:55:59 > 7:56:02We are so behind you. We think you can really do this.
7:56:02 > 7:56:04We are crossing everything for you.

7:57:32 > 7:57:36CHEERING
7:57:36 > 7:57:39Well, Chris, well done, you've done all you can do
7:57:39 > 7:57:42and before we find out how Chris has done,
7:57:42 > 7:57:44we just have enough time to read out some of your comments
7:57:44 > 7:57:47because at the beginning of the show, we asked you to let us know
7:57:47 > 7:57:50what events you'd go on and why, so let's find out.
7:57:50 > 7:57:52Chris, our fingers are crossed for you. Now...
7:57:52 > 7:57:56Chris, did our cheering help you? I was whistling the whole time!
7:57:56 > 7:57:58We appreciated it.
7:57:58 > 7:58:01We have an e-mail from Aqua Jumping Dingo, "It would be awesome
7:58:01 > 7:58:03"to go into space or be an astronaut like Chris."
7:58:03 > 7:58:06Like Chris Hadfield. Quality. Diamond Hyperdog says,
7:58:06 > 7:58:11- "My big adventure would be to spend a whole day with Jedward!"- Oh, yeah!
7:58:11 > 7:58:13"Go bungee-jumping and scuba diving with John and Edward."
7:58:13 > 7:58:16Do you know what? That would be Jepic. Jepic.
7:58:16 > 7:58:19Top-oz-lil-ical Time Lord - I can't read that! - says,
7:58:19 > 7:58:22"My big adventure would be climbing up and down Mount Everest
7:58:22 > 7:58:25"with Barney, Lindsey, Radzi and Jedward. What a team!"

7:58:35 > 7:58:37"I would like to walk on a tightrope like Helen Skelton did."
7:58:37 > 7:58:40- She's the Queen of adventure. - She is! She really is.
7:58:40 > 7:58:41She knows how it's done. Legend.
7:58:41 > 7:58:44Ginger Fizzy Castral says, "I would go to space, meet an alien
7:58:44 > 7:58:48- "and invite it down to Earth." - Adventurous!
