Beard of Bees! Blue Peter

There is no way Barney or Lindsey are getting a penalty past me.

No way! This is my moment.

Uh, Radzi, it's not us you've got to worry about.

-Yeah. It's this lot.

-Who else is there?

Oh, dear! Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!

LAUGHTER

You got me!

MUSIC: Blue Peter Theme

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes!

-Hello!

-And welcome to Blue Peter

and, by the way, the very first show of 2017 in the Blue Peter garden,

and the weather is glorious.

It really is glorious.

Coming up on today's show - get ready for some outdoorsy fun.

I'm going to be facing my fear - literally -

as I put my face into a load of bees.

Look at me - terrified.

From bees to badgers - we're going to try and find some in the dark.

Not easy, but BBC Two's Springwatch

will be on hand to help.

Stay tuned for that.

Feast your eyes on this lovely lady, commonly known as Shelley.

Jump on to the Blue Peter Fanclub.

Please sign in and leave a comment as soon as you see her.

She'll be hiding somewhere in the show and you, my friends,

might get a shout-out if you do.

-There.

-But first... Whoa, mind the crowd!

But first, I think we should kick off with a kickabout.

It's Barney versus Lindsey, penalty shootout and, luckily,

we are joined by these football superstars.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, yes!

But fortunately for this pair,

we're also joined by two experts in the world of penalties.

Would you please give it up for Alex and Ben!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Alex and Ben, hello, and welcome to Blue Peter.

-Thank you.

-So, first things first -

Ben, you are a football expert.

That's right, Radzi. I'm actually a penalties specialist.

I advise Premier League teams and international teams

on how to take the perfect penalty.

-Wow.

-I also write books about the psychology of football,

so when it comes to penalty kicks, I'm your man on the spot.

On the spot, let's put it out there!

Alex, what are you bringing to the table?

I am the football mathematician. I love the numbers, I love maths,

and how maths can make you a better penalty-taker.

We have got some fantastic tips

that will improve your penalty performance.

Looking forward to hearing those.

Now, this book right there is the very book

that was nominated for a Blue Peter Book Award.

It was, and it was a great honour to be nominated,

and for fans of Football School, we have the sequel -

Football School Season 2 - which is out in September.

That is great, great news.

Now, let's talk about tips because shortly,

we'll be seeing penalties happen amongst Lindsey and Barney.

So, penalties - what tips, what advice do you have for them?

Well, the first tip is actually very important and quite gross.

You need to make sure you've gone to the loo before the game begins.

Sounds obvious, but when you're nervous,

your body produces more adrenaline

and that makes your muscles contract.

-OK.

-And so that's why we get butterflies in our stomach -

you don't want to be standing over a penalty kick needing the loo.

That would be...not very nice. Alex?

So, when you're taking it, you need to look in the eyes of the keeper.

-Yes.

-And when you're walking back to take it, keep looking in the eyes.

It makes you feel more confident.

And also - I'm the numbers man -

statistically, you have more chance of missing

if you turn away from the keeper.

-Is that right?

-That is true.

-That is a top tip right there.

So, we've been to the toilet,

we're looking the keeper in the eyes.

-What's next?

-Simple.

You wait - even just one or two more seconds - to compose yourself.

Take a breath. Players that rush their penalties

are more likely to miss, so the ideal waiting time

is somewhere between two and five seconds to take the penalty.

I love this. OK, so, the goalie is there.

Should I go to the left or to the right?

Well, numbers again - 94 out of every 100 penalties

go either side, so only six, a very small amount, in the centre.

So why not risk it and just shoot right in the centre?

Who does that?

You heard it here first.

So, the ball does go in the back of the net.

It is a rip-roaring goal. What do you do then?

Well, you have to celebrate, of course.

Celebrate with gusto, with creativity, with enthusiasm.

Football is a team game

and it's there to be enjoyed with your team-mates.

But, on the other hand, if you miss your penalty,

you need to feel the embrace of your team-mates.

Let them hug you to make you feel better,

welcome you into the group.

Cos one thing we know, Radzi, teams that hug more win more.

And that's why you guys are winners!

Let's meet the teams.

CHEERING

So, we have, in our Red team,

the penalty-takers are Barney, Lucy, Shona, Olivia,

and their goalkeeper will be Ella.

And they are representing Urmston Meadowside Pumas.

CHEERING

And now to our Blue team.

Our penalty takers are Lindsey, Ben, Jim, Ivan.

Their goalkeeper is Oliver,

and they're representing the Halfend Griffins!

CHEERING

Now, earlier on in the day,

we had a coin toss to decide who would go first.

It was the Red team, so Barney will step up to the penalty spot

whilst I explain how this will work.

There will be four penalties for each team.

The team with most penalties wins. Simple as that.

Barney is up first - is that a good or a bad thing?

It's a very good thing,

because if there is a penalty shootout,

60% of...

Oh!

Six out of ten times, the team that kicks first will win.

It's interesting, this game.

It's all about margins. That could cost the Red team dear.

-So, Lindsey is up.

-I haven't been for a wee!

Lindsey is going second. Haven't been for a wee?

-BEN:

-She's not even looking

in the goalkeeper's eye.

This is an error...

GROANING

Woeful! Absolutely woeful!

There, she goes down, diving like Tom Daley.

Up next, it's 0-0 as things stand.

Seems the penalty-takers are all English, Radzi,

cos they're missing the target!

-Oh! BEN:

-Beautiful!

Indeed! One for the Reds.

So that means low... Would you go low or high?

-BEN:

-I would go low, because, as Lindsey has shown,

you can go too high over the crossbar.

But you can never go too low.

There's a slight error on the graphic,

it's currently just one point.

Oh! Oh, dear, oh, dear.

-BEN:

-That's a development right there.

So, there's only two opportunities left for each team.

What should they be thinking about now?

Just keeping it on target, Radzi.

This penalty is to ensure they can't lose the game.

So it's a huge penalty.

Low wins it again!

Now, this penalty-taker here is kicking to avoid defeat.

Statistically, it's much harder to score,

because there is pressure on it.

Big penalty, and he takes it!

Great penalty, with his left foot.

This man absolutely laughs in the face of pressure.

Now, can we get a goalkeeper

like Bruce Grobbelaar in the '80s?

Will it be a Fabien Barthez in the '90s?

Or will it be a Joe Hart from yesteryear?

Right down the middle. This is it, this is the goal.

It's a big one, and it's a save.

-BEN:

-So, this is, again, to avoid defeat.

There is still pressure.

There's a lot of pressure.

So, if we get this, it's a tie.

He's looking at the keeper.

-That's very good.

-It's looking good.

Oh, fantastic!

That is handling pressure right there.

It's over, it is over.

Blimey, O'Reilly! I don't even know what's going on.

-2-2!

-5-1 to us.

-No!

-Yeah.

-Look at the scores.

CHEERING

They couldn't be happier.

It's a victory for football, basically.

Alex and Ben, thank you so much for coming in.

While they carry on celebrating behind us,

it's now time for us to celebrate

the beautiful creatures that are badgers.

I never thought I'd say that on telly! What are you doing?

SHE LAUGHS

Springwatch is back.

It's bringing some wonderful wildlife

and do-not-miss nature

from this incredible location in the Cotswolds.

Some would call it the great outdoors

to the great indoors - your living room.

This year's Springwatch is going to be a little different.

They're going to be based in the same location, the Cotswolds,

right through to Autumn and Winterwatch.

It means they can track the incredible wildlife

that lives here and see how it changes through the seasons.

The Springwatch team use some very clever TV techniques

to capture the creatures and critters this area has to offer

and I'm delighted to say that they've asked me

to come along to help them with a very special project.

One of the animals the team will be watching through the year

are badgers, and to keep track of them,

they need to be electronically tagged.

To tell me more is animal expert and presenter Chris Packham.

Chris, I've always got to be careful how I introduce you,

because it's either Autumnwatch, Winterwatch or Springwatch.

-And here we are.

-It'll be Springwatch this time.

It's a new series, very exciting. What can we expect?

Well, it's an all-new location, absolutely fantastic here.

A whole new set of species -

things like red kites and buzzards and barn owls.

So, yeah, it should be good.

Blue Peter always likes to get involved.

I know that I'm here today to do something, help you in some way.

Can you tell me anything else?

Hopefully, you're going to go out and catch a badger.

We like to get to know a lot more about our animals as individuals,

but also, we want more science the whole time.

There is still so much to learn

about the creatures that live alongside us.

What do I need to do? Do I go and hide somewhere or...?

You need to meet up with Dawn, our expert - she's up on the hill.

She's baited all the traps. Everything is primed and ready.

I'm pretty confident. See you later.

-Thank you, Chris.

-Good luck, cheers. Bye.

Badgers are nocturnal, so first, we have to wait for night to fall.

To tag them, they're going to be laying humane traps

that won't hurt these amazing wild creatures

'Animal specialist Dr Dawn Scott

'is from the University of Brighton and can explain.'

So, we've set traps up around Sherborne,

and we're going to try and see if we can catch a badger

so we can fit it with a collar,

and that collar tells us where it's going every 15 minutes.

So, we are going to try and check this trap.

Lead the way.

It's not easy in the dark.

The traps the team are using are designed to be as stress free

and as safe as possible for the badgers.

Food inside a simple cage draws the animal in.

'Once inside, the team will move

'to tranquillise and collar the creatures,

'but have they worked?

'Time to check the first one.'

Dr Dawn has gone down to have a quick look

and, hopefully, she'll come back with some good news.

-That was so close!

-Oh, what was it?

-So, the trap door is shut.

-Yeah?

-But there is nothing in there.

-OK.

And the food has gone, so something has outwitted us.

'So, no luck with our first, but no need to panic - it's early.

'Well, actually, it's really late, but you know what I mean.

'Hopefully, we'll have more luck with our second trap.'

I think that one is empty as well.

'Dawn is still hopeful we'll catch a badger tonight, though,

'and she shows me why.'

I think there is a badger sett over there.

If we want to, we could just have a quick look.

I would love to.

We should head over that way.

Look at these...

They like digging, obviously, to get the earthworms and the grubs,

but can you see that?

Yeah, that's a massive badger paw print, isn't it?

So, this is an entrance to a badger sett.

You can see how big it is, how wide it is, yeah.

If we were to... If we could see under the ground now,

say the grass was see-through, what would we see underneath?

We'd see loads and loads of different...

what we call chambers, holes...

They have houses, like we have. They have bedrooms, like we have.

There is mums, dads, uncles, aunties, all living in here.

Yeah? It's incredible.

'We know there are badgers around here,

'and with one last trap to check,

'our fingers are crossed we'll get the chance to tag one.'

OK, it's definitely empty, isn't it?

Yeah, it's empty, unfortunately.

You know what? In a weird way, I kind of like

that we haven't found anything tonight,

because it just proves we're dealing with wild animals here.

They're not tame, they're genuinely doing what they want to do.

That's what it's all about, really, isn't it?

-Dr Dawn, it's been a pleasure. Thank you so much.

-Very welcome.

Only one way to wrap this up, you know, to do it properly.

-Hot chocolate.

-Yeah, definitely.

So, the Springwatch team won't get

to carry on their research tonight, but...

We've got one, yeah.

Just checking she's OK.

On another day, Dawn and Chris are in luck.

Once the badger is tranquillised,

they move as quickly as possible to complete some medical checks.

Nice, regular heart rate and breathing.

That's fantastic. The heartbeat of a badger.

Once they know the animal is healthy,

they attach a collar.

In just 15 minutes, she is tagged and left to wake up naturally.

The badger won't even know the collar is there

as she returns to the wild,

but it means Dawn will know exactly where she travels

over the next year.

The team are giving all the animals they follow

in the series pop star names,

so you if you want to know how Madonna here is doing,

you can watch Springwatch on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer

for the next week.

Genuinely good fun - a huge thank you to the Springwatch team.

They look after us and help us and make those films more interesting.

-Now, from badgers to BADGES.

-Nice.

If you want to know how cool we think all this is,

listen to this for a cheer.

CHEERING

Thank you. It's time to check out your stuff on the big badge wall.

There is very much a green theme on this week's big badge wall,

but I've got to draw your attention to Finn from Hove,

who sent us this very conscientious piece of post here.

It says "recycle, reduce and re-use".

Finn, that has got yourself a green badge, my friend - well done.

Take a look at Sebastian's work.

He's from Kirklees, that's West Yorkshire,

and this is a nest that he's made out of paper.

How cool is that? He's painted it as well.

It's got feathers on it and a little chicken.

Sebastian, you are a genius,

and that means you've earned yourself a green badge.

Congratulations. If you want to get in touch and earn your badge,

all you've got to do is send us

something creative to the usual address.

There it is on your screen. When you've got your badge,

don't forget that it can get you into over 200 attractions

across the UK...

ALL: For free!

-That was actually very nice.

-That's the best one we've ever done.

Check the website before you go anywhere,

because the deals can change.

Now, we are very excited, because there's not long to go

until my beard of bees challenge.

Look at it, that was my face right before I did it!

That's coming up, but first, I don't know if you've noticed...

-How did you make that?

-I've got a beautiful outfit on.

Now, this was made by Ella from Reading.

It is, quite frankly, genius.

Look at that, a little Shelley backpack there.

It's phenomenal. We thought it was so genius,

we should get her into the BP garden to make it live.

Please welcome Ella!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ella, my friend! What a gorgeous smile.

How does it feel to be here in the BP garden?

Really... I'm really excited.

I can tell, cos you're going like this!

I'm excited, too. Now, this is phenomenal.

Where did you get the inspiration to make it and design it?

I had to dress up for my school's World Book Day,

and I was Alfie the tortoise from Esio Trot,

and I thought it would make a good Shelley shell, too.

It really does, and it's so comfortable, by the way!

Now, this isn't your first make.

You are quite the maker and you love recycling materials.

Let's have a look, cos you've made some other stuff.

Talk us through this, what have you made?

I love making soft toys,

and I've made one for my brother's birthday.

Well, that's very nice of you. Can you make me one later?

Is that all right? Yeah, maybe. Well, I think, first off,

we should show everyone at home how to make this wonderful outfit.

Will you help me? I need your help. Let's do it. Come on.

So, to make Ella's Shelley Shell - that's quite hard to say -

you will need...

I'm jealous, because you've got a stool and I haven't.

So, where do we start? What are we going to do first?

-We need to cut out the strips of cardboard.

-Don't fall off!

That wouldn't be very good. Here we go, I've got it for you.

So, we've got our circles of cardboard.

How did we do that?

We are going to grab a pen, aren't we,

and go all the way round the outside of the plate.

This is easy peasy. And then... There we go.

Now, we've used a pizza box, cos I eat quite a lot of pizza,

but you can use any recycled cardboard.

There you go. And once you've done it

neatly and perfectly, like Ella, there...

Oh, my Shelley is flapping.

..you should get something that looks a bit like that.

Thank you. Oh, no, my Shelley is broken!

We're going to have to make a really good one, aren't we?

Why is there this semicircle here? Talk us through that.

So there's room for the chin.

You are annoyed that this is broken, aren't you? Don't panic.

That's what a real tortoise has, by the way -

a little curve for the chin.

So, we've got our two circles.

What comes next?

We need to cut out two strips of old cloth,

which can be from a T-shirt.

It can be, but you should probs ask Mum or Dad for permission.

It's a bit windy, but they are 5 x 40 centimetres,

just like that.

Then, to staple them together, you just plonk them there.

You don't have to be neat, do you?

Get your stapler, put them together, and they should look...

Go on, do the reveal.

..something like...

Oh, you're good!

Right over my face, too, that was lovely!

It should look something like that. So, what do we need to do next?

We need to scrunch up balls of paper to make the hump.

You are very good at this. Shall we get scrunching?

Come on - we are recycling some old newspaper.

Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch.

Plonk it on with a bit of sticky tape, like so.

This is such a good make,

because you really can be quite heavy-handed, which I am.

Once you've done the whole thing and it's looking nice and neat...

I know you love scrunching, there you go - there's the last one.

..it should look something like this.

There we go - it's really starting to take shape.

It's looking a bit lumpy and a bit bumpy.

-So, what do we do next?

-We need to paper...

Put the strips over the top.

Papier mache - exactly.

So, shall we get started on that? This is the messy bit.

-Did you get messy at home when you were doing this bit?

-Yeah.

Mm-hm, I bet. Glue all over the kitchen table.

Plonk it on, like so.

Oh, very good. We are getting involved.

How many layers would you say that we need?

Three to five.

-Three to five...

-LAUGHTER

Three to five layers is perfect.

And a top tip - between each layer, let it dry, right,

so you don't have a soggy Shelley.

Where has he gone?

So, once we've done all that, it should look something like this.

This is where you really see how much of a genius Ella is.

There we go - so, it's all dry there.

It's all dried overnight. So, what do we need to do?

We need to paint it.

This is the fun part, right? Come on.

Why don't you do Shelley's belly? Cos that's a good bit.

And I'm going to do a bit of green.

Now, you went for the traditional Shelley colours, didn't you, Ella?

-Mm-hm.

-But you really can do anything. So, there we go.

We're going for a light green.

You do have to do quite a few layers, right?

But... Whoa, you're very quick. That won't take you long.

So once you've done all of that, you should have something

that looks a little bit like this - there you go.

Your very own Shelley outfit.

Look, we've given her a six-pack, as well.

She's nice and strong. That is amazing.

I think we need a massive, massive round of applause

for the wonderful Ella.

APPLAUSE

That was very brave of you, and you were fantastic.

-We've got designs as well.

-Yes - look.

You can make a BP design. Check out this one.

Radzi, give us a spin. Look, and then we can make...

I'm Robo-Shelley.

-There you go.

-Ella, you're a genius.

-Amazing.

-The best TV presenter that's been on the show

-for a long time.

-Yeah.

-So good. Ta.

-Linds, do you like my new accessory?

-I do.

-It would go very well with my beard of bees.

-Ah.

-What?

Have a look at this. Well done...!

Welcome to Quince Honey Farm in Devon,

home to almost 100,000,000 bees.

And normally, those bees are in hives, making honey.

Sweet little bees.

Except today, they're going to be on my face.

I'm attempting an ancient tradition called the beard of bees -

a practice that dates way back to the early 1800s

and involves having potentially thousands of bees on my face.

It's a challenge with a history on Blue Peter

and was last attempted by Helen in 2009.

But after 20 minutes of having the bees crawling on her,

they eventually lost patience.

Oh! Stung me - stung me on my face.

-Yeah, she's got a sting in the face.

-Oh.

-OK.

And now I want to see if I can go one better and complete the beard.

But before I attempted the challenge,

I wanted to find out a bit more about the bees themselves.

This is Ian - he's a honey farmer and looks after all the hives here.

-Ian, how are you doing?

-Good, thanks, how are you doing?

Well, I'm OK. I'm a little bit nervous being around all these bees.

What exactly are you looking out for?

Checking the health of the colony, just seeing what's happening inside.

They're kind of sticking their heads in.

What are these guys doing?

Those ones are feeding, so in those cells,

there's actually honey and they are having some of it to eat.

Central to my challenge today is the queen bee,

and she is vital to any bee colony.

The queen is usually the mother

to most, if not all, the bees in the hive.

-Is that her? Number 44?

-That's it, you've got it.

-OK.

Why do you choose her to be the queen?

-Who makes that decision?

-The bees make that decision.

-OK.

-Yeah. So, when the colony needs to change the queen,

it's the worker bees that will decide.

So, they'll take an egg laid by the original queen

and they treat it differently...

-SHE GASPS

-Sorry!

And that's what changes it either into a worker bee

or into a queen bee.

I am nervous for later, though,

but at least we've got these massive suits on.

Well, yeah, but you won't have later.

Yeah, you heard that right.

No more bee suit for me.

But how do I get the bees on my face?

So, we take the queen bee, who is already in a cage,

and then we are going to transfer her onto your chin

and all the other bees are going to follow her and cluster on your face.

I guess the question is, how do you know

if you've got the perfect bee beard?

It's a question of fashion. What do you like?

'Hm... A nice strip tache?

'Oh, a goatee?

'Nah, not sure about that.

'Now, that, I like.'

You know what? I think I'm going to keep it traditional

and go for a big, bushy beard.

'This is all quite natural to the bees.

'They are merely following their queen.

'It just so happens they are following her onto my chin.'

I'm so on edge!

'To stop the bees getting in my ears or up my nose,

'I'm using cotton wool to plug the holes.'

Well, this is weird. Do I look good?

'And Ian helps me apply a balm around my eyes

'that the bees can't walk on.'

-Is it cos they'll slip off?

-Yeah, exactly, yeah.

They don't want to walk on a surface that slippery.

-OK, I'm kitted up and ready.

-Yeah.

-Feels a bit weird!

Why is it that the bees all want

to swarm towards the queen bee on my chin?

What's that all about?

OK, so, all the bees are attracted to the queen.

She emits a pheromone, a smell,

and the other bees want to be near her,

and they've been separated from their queen for about an hour,

so now they're really pleased to see her

and they'll just follow her, wherever she goes.

OK, so, what's next?

-Let's go and meet the bees.

-Oh...

-Oh, there's one, there's one.

-Follow that one.

'I'm working with experts and have a medic nearby.

'Do not try this at home.

'The first thing I need to do is get used to the feel of the bees.'

Oh... Ah...

'Ian wants me to touch the bees with my hand...'

Oh, I'm shaking so much!

'..so I can get used to the feeling of them on my skin.'

-That's it. Good.

-OK.

Right - let's do this.

Just want you to put your chin over here, like this.

-Oh, OK, OK, OK.

-Move forwards.

'At first, I can barely bring myself to touch the bees with my chin.'

SHE HUMS NERVOUSLY

'This is a truly bizarre and nerve-racking experience.'

-Uh...

-That's backwards.

-I know, I know.

'I can't even open my mouth to speak.'

-Mm!

-It's all right, that was a bee's leg, gripping onto your chin.

-OK.

What we'll do now, we'll take the queen bee away from the cluster

and we're going to position her under your chin.

-OK?

-OK, yeah.

-All right.

-Yeah.

-Let's go for it.

Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it.

I have never done something more for the badge.

SHE GASPS

You might have one or two land on your face now.

-It's a good time to keep calm.

-It's on my hand.

Argh!

'Ian takes the queen and ties her around my chin.'

This is really going to start to feel uncomfortable,

but you're handling it really well.

We top up and we attract more bees by you leaning forwards.

'As the bees start coming across onto my face,

'I'm feeling more and more uneasy.'

Forwards.

You're doing really good, really well.

'I need to keep as calm and still as possible,

'but that's easier said than done

'when you have bees crawling on your face.

'It's so hard not to flinch.

'But just when I think things are starting to go well...'

Ow, ow, ow!

'..I've been stung.

'Once one bee has stung, it sends a signal to all the others

'that they're in danger, and then I'm stung for a second time.'

SHE GROANS

Oh, I don't want to get stung!

'Ian steps in to call it off.

'It wasn't to be for me today, and for mine and the bees' safety,

'the challenge was brought to a halt.

'But it's not all bad news.'

How many did I get on? Like, ten?

-No, no, there was a few hundred there.

-Really?

Yeah. But as soon as you got the sting on the forehead...

Ow, ow!

'I know, I panicked. And then it stung my lip.'

-Yeah...

-Which I can feel is getting bigger and bigger.

-You did came away with a goatee.

-Did I?

Yeah, yeah.

So impressed, so impressed with that.

Ow - it hurts to smile!

You know what? Standing here now, at the end of today's challenge,

I am proud, because I was very, very nervous,

and I managed to face my fear, quite literally put my face

into a load of bees, which I was scared of.

So, at least I'm not afraid of bees any more.

-BUZZING

-Whoa!

I can't even watch that back. I just want to cry.

But it was a really good day

and it's worth saying I was helped by some incredible experts.

Do not try that at home. You'd be silly, frankly.

Now, from one challenge to some amazing challengers.

Please welcome Dion and Gobi!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Cheering for you! We are cheering Gobi, of course, little legend.

Tell us why she is so, so special.

I was running a six-stage, seven-day race across the Gobi Desert,

and this little stray dog ended up running alongside me

for 77 miles, and I later named her Gobi.

Wow! After the desert, of course.

So she did half an ultra-marathon with you.

This is just ridiculous. What an amazing story.

Yeah. Finishing the race was just the start of our amazing journey,

and you can read more about it in our book, Finding Gobi.

There it is. Actually, if you want even more from these two -

what a pair they are, I just really take my hat off to both of you -

you can get an exclusive interview on the BP website.

Guys, thank you so much for coming in.

I really want to take her home. Or go on a run with her!

Barney and Radz.

-Cheers, Linds.

-So, from a super dog to a super tortoise.

We've been playing Spot Shelley, but where was she hiding?

Let's take a look.

She was, in fact, on the top of my accessory.

And, Ella, who was it that spotted Shelley first?

-Cool Icicles.

-Well done, Cool Icicles.

-She's there.

-Congratulations, you have won yourself

a lifetime supply of apple sauce.

-Stop it, stop t!

-Joking, it's not true at all.

There's more games to play than Spot Shelley online.

If you head over there now, to BP Fanclub live,

you will see a brand-new code that you have got to crack,

and that will also lead you in the direction

of a brand-new competition happening on Blue Peter.

Head to the BP Fanclub and you'll find out more about it.

It's all launching next week.

And there's an incredible guest on it as well. We can't say who.

Top, top secret. No-one knows who he is.

-Anthony Horowitz.

-Amazing.

-What an author.

-Brilliant, OK.

-He really is.

-Yes.

Also on next week, I'm going to meet a young guy called Jamie

who is truly incredible.

He can do things with a scooter you can only dream of.

Now, you may already know this from the news,

but it's really important we tell you that this week,

the legendary Blue Peter presenter John Noakes passed away.

He is an icon and an absolute originator.

John Noakes is the reason we're here today.

There's not one person who doesn't know who he is.

Your parents watched him, your grandparents watched him.

-Sir, we salute you.

-Here's some of his best bits.

Mr John Noakes!

MUSIC: Blue Peter Theme

Oh, get off me foot!

Don't bite him! He's a nice little fella.

Hey, hey, that's enough!

LAUGHTER Oh!

By gum. Hey, that's a bit dirty!

We are out in space! It's unbelievable!

LAUGHING: Oh, dear!
