:01:42. > :01:48.This is your first time on Blue Peter. You are wearing your badge
:01:48. > :01:51.with pride. Looks good. Let's talk about your style of poetry. How
:01:51. > :01:57.would you describe it? I got it about your style of poetry. How
:01:57. > :02:03.rap, so it's a lot like using my everyday speech to entertain. When
:02:03. > :02:06.you are writing, where do you start? I'd advise anyone to start with
:02:06. > :02:28.what's in your head or heart. It will take care of itself. Carry
:02:28. > :02:31.what's in your head or heart. It notebook around with you as well?
:02:31. > :02:34.I've always got one. I find it helpful to jot notes down. You see
:02:34. > :02:36.stuff all the time and want to catch it. We've got an exclusive for you.

:03:32. > :03:39.way to go. It's more than just gas and water. Leaves have this thing
:03:39. > :03:42.called chlorophyll, but we can leave that for another time. There's so
:03:42. > :03:46.many ways you can take it. All you need a woods in your mind, because
:03:46. > :03:58.Hands up who wants George to come round to their house and read them a
:03:58. > :04:03.bedtime story at night? What we round to their house and read them a
:04:03. > :04:05.going to be doing today is use George's talents and your messages
:04:05. > :04:09.together. We'd like you to send George's talents and your messages
:04:09. > :04:13.message today, tell us what it is that makes you happy. Send it to
:04:13. > :04:17.bbc.co.uk/bluepeter. As the messages come in, George will read them and
:04:17. > :04:21.then turn them into a performance at the end of the show. It will be
:04:21. > :04:27.wicked. Before we get into it and talk about what the poem is going to
:04:27. > :04:32.be, why don't you give us the first four lines? When I'm having a rough
:04:32. > :04:36.day, I don't want to allow myself to get sad. So what I do is go to the
:04:36. > :04:39.things that make me happy. I want to know what makes you glad. Off to a
:04:39. > :04:44.good start. Get in touch, leave know what makes you glad. Off to a
:04:44. > :04:47.comment and tell us what makes you happy. If you are lucky, some of it
:04:47. > :04:54.might be incorporated into the end of the show in the poem. A few weeks
:04:54. > :05:00.ago, remember I told you about my Big Bike Challenge. There's the
:05:00. > :05:08.bike. The hills are massive. Here is the challenge. This is my biggest
:05:08. > :05:12.Blue Peter challenge to date. Over 12 weeks I'm training day in day out
:05:12. > :05:17.to take on a daunting cycle race in the wilds of the Cumbrian Mountains
:05:17. > :05:24.in north-west England. Can the next Blue Peter challenge beam... Albie

:05:39. > :05:48.attempting to get over the finish the distance of the professional
:05:48. > :05:50.in under five hours. To stand any chance of completing this challenge,
:05:50. > :05:57.I'm going to have to push myself harder than ever before. The first
:05:57. > :06:03.day of my training starts here, harder than ever before. The first
:06:03. > :06:06.National cycling Centre, home of the Manchester velodrome. The person
:06:06. > :06:11.guiding me to the finish line as my coach, Charlie Evans. Since he was

:06:15. > :06:18.13, Charlie has competed in cross trial cycling, all at national
:06:18. > :06:21.level. And now he's a grown up cycling expert, helping British
:06:21. > :06:26.Cycling to coach the next generation of home-grown cycling talent. It
:06:26. > :06:30.takes a great deal of fitness, aerobic endurance is the key factor.
:06:30. > :06:35.As well as developing good bike handling skills. In order to do
:06:35. > :06:36.As well as developing good bike we will be getting you in a range of
:06:36. > :06:41.different cycling environments, we will be getting you in a range of
:06:41. > :06:46.help you so you can get up the hills but get down them as well. We want
:06:46. > :06:51.to try to make you be able to do same amount of time. Where do we
:06:51. > :06:58.start? We need to check how fit same amount of time. Where do we
:06:58. > :07:02.are. Not very! I get on a special exercise bike, which monitors the
:07:02. > :07:07.power in my legs. It will give us an idea of how fit I really am. I have
:07:07. > :07:17.to cycle as fast as I can for three minutes. It sounds simple, right?
:07:17. > :07:26.Dig deep. Final push, go on. This is where I'm supposed to talk. How
:07:26. > :07:27.Dig deep. Final push, go on. This is I do? Your power of 287 watts for
:07:27. > :07:33.three minutes. A professional rider, they would be 450 to 500. They're
:07:33. > :07:36.three minutes. A professional rider, still quite a difference but we
:07:36. > :07:38.three minutes. A professional rider, start making some gains now. It
:07:38. > :07:38.three minutes. A professional rider, physically quite demanding and my
:07:38. > :07:48.legs feel like jelly. Either it physically quite demanding and my
:07:48. > :07:56.time for a moustache. -- massage. massage I had in mind. It's the
:07:56. > :08:14.my bike. And when I'm not on the my body I need to take care of.
:08:14. > :08:16.my bike. And when I'm not on the Barney's scheduled to train. He
:08:16. > :08:16.my bike. And when I'm not on the up and down the country, often away
:08:16. > :08:20.from home, he can't always take up and down the country, often away
:08:20. > :08:22.bike with him. We need to find some clever ways for him to squeeze his
:08:22. > :08:26.training in to meet the demands clever ways for him to squeeze his
:08:26. > :08:31.this challenge. All the stuff we do an Blue Peter, I don't think I will
:08:31. > :08:34.be able to train enough. Even though I might be moderately fit, I don't
:08:35. > :08:43.think I'm going to be fit enough to challenge. My second day of training
:08:43. > :08:46.and Charlie has brought me to the mountain bike centre to improve
:08:47. > :08:49.and Charlie has brought me to the bike handling skills. So I'm able to
:08:50. > :08:55.ride on any type of terrain. Being ready as having your brakes covered.

:18:01. > :18:02.like that. If you want to paint more authentic. Then you stick that
:18:02. > :18:07.inside here, you can do that as well. It is very cool. There is
:18:07. > :18:09.loads of detail you can add into this. We have got some polystyrene
:18:09. > :18:14.stone blocks, really. You could this. We have got some polystyrene
:18:14. > :18:18.whatever you wanted to there. You could even put some insects in

:20:36. > :20:40.up? This fits little Barney, but it actually fits Lindsey in real life.
:20:40. > :20:49.And of course, keep your comments that George can do a poem at the end
:20:49. > :20:53.of the show. But first, if you manage to see Atlantis? The first
:20:53. > :20:57.episode was on Saturday, the next few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to
:20:57. > :21:21.This is the story of a mythical according to the myth, people spent

:21:30. > :21:35.the old warehouse where the legends come to life. I am on the set of the
:21:35. > :21:41.brand-new BBC drama Atlantis, and it is incredible being here. It feels
:21:41. > :21:45.like we are in another world. They are just about to shout action,
:21:45. > :21:52.which means the scene will begin. I concede that Jack is about to do a
:21:52. > :21:57.scene as Jason. Actor Jack Donnelly plays Jason, our dashing, daring
:21:57. > :22:02.hero. Fighting foes is a full-time job, but I managed to catch up with
:22:02. > :22:03.him between scenes crumbled Jason is one of the main three characters in
:22:03. > :22:14.the show. Do you get to do quite one of the main three characters in
:22:14. > :22:25.excited! I could do sword fighting, But I cannot stop to chat, I have
:22:25. > :22:37.designer, Jane, in the biggest like this, where do you begin?
:22:37. > :22:52.designer, Jane, in the biggest foundation is based on history,
:22:52. > :22:53.designer, Jane, in the biggest We wanted to create this mystical
:22:53. > :22:56.world. The sketches then become reality. So far, her team have made

:23:08. > :23:12.starts with it is exciting to think that this costume that I are working
:23:12. > :23:15.on now will be on the show, and somebody will be wearing this. I
:23:15. > :23:25.have got to make sure I do a good job. So, you have got your finished
:23:25. > :23:30.basic garment, now we have to do the dipping and the colouring. Just
:23:30. > :23:34.basic garment, now we have to do the that, splash it around. Dumped it
:23:34. > :23:38.in. This is the exact opposite of doing the laundry! You are trying to
:23:38. > :23:45.make everything look dirty and horrible. But making the costumes is
:23:45. > :23:49.only part of the job. For some scenes, hundreds of actors need
:23:49. > :23:51.only part of the job. For some be kitted out, like these palace
:23:51. > :24:02.guards. But can address them as you put these on? That goes over

:24:27. > :24:38.short for this job! Oh, no, I have forgotten how to do this! Hadi
:24:38. > :24:42.shoulder. Very stressful. Try and move his hair a little bit so he can
:24:42. > :24:47.see. Yes, he cannot see anything, can he guess how is that looking?
:24:47. > :25:17.see. Yes, he cannot see anything, Eight minutes, that is double your
:25:17. > :25:26.expect from your part? Oh, it is adventure, and I think people will

:25:31. > :25:34.day. What is better than that? After a long day behind-the-scenes in
