:00:20. > :00:26.you to lift your drawings off the page. The first look beneath the
:00:26. > :00:30.bandages of a 2000 year old mummy. And I am touring round the world 's
:00:30. > :00:40.most glamorous Formula one grand prix track. All coming up on today's
:00:40. > :00:59.
:00:59. > :01:03.excited, but some people it is only one day until half term. That
:01:03. > :01:07.deserves a cheer! Some of you are already on half term, that
:01:07. > :01:14.definitely deserves a cheer. Welcome to the show. We are taking you on a
:01:14. > :01:21.journey back in time. Helen is looking beautiful here. I am dressed
:01:21. > :01:28.as in ancient Egyptian! We are also going into the future, and today's
:01:28. > :01:35.question is if you could time travel, where would you go and why?
:01:35. > :01:38.I bet you would go forward to teatime! Or to try and find that if
:01:38. > :01:44.cars will fly in the future. I probably would go way back to the
:01:44. > :01:52.dinosaurs. Anything goes, let us know where you would like to travel
:01:52. > :01:56.in time. We like it when you get in touch and when you get creative.
:01:56. > :02:02.Last week we did some tinfoil art. You sent us your versions of what
:02:02. > :02:09.you have been doing. It was simple, tinfoil trays, used the end of the
:02:09. > :02:15.by row and inscribed on the picture. You can do whatever you like. Mere
:02:15. > :02:23.created this. Thank you very much. love that expression on her face!
:02:24. > :02:32.Eric has done a couple. Is that just at the point -- a teapot wrapped in
:02:32. > :02:37.tinfoil? I think he has done that. Look at Sam's face! He is so
:02:37. > :02:42.excited. It looks as if he has had great fun doing that. Oliver and
:02:42. > :02:49.Eloise have done their version. We have a Blue Peter no-go, and he has
:02:49. > :02:55.done the Blue Peter badge. Look at their heads! They have made forks
:02:55. > :03:00.and knives out of tinfoil. As well as fancy pieces of headdress. If you
:03:00. > :03:08.want to have a go, the templates are still on the website. But come this
:03:08. > :03:13.way. Have a look at our huge Blue Peter badge! We have loads of post
:03:13. > :03:22.again, look at this picture, it is glittery clouds and upside down, she
:03:22. > :03:29.is trying to pass the baton to you during our moonwalking attempt.
:03:29. > :03:33.have been set a challenge recently, to play the trombone. Thank you for
:03:33. > :03:37.the lovely trombone interlude! It is going OK, I have three weeks to
:03:37. > :03:44.practice, five lessons and I have to play in a competition tomorrow and
:03:44. > :03:49.March as well. I am very nervous! You will be great! Check these out.
:03:49. > :03:53.They are having a go at what we are calling Grow It, Cook It, Eat It. A
:03:53. > :03:57.couple of weeks ago we went out the blue Peter garden, and some herbs
:03:57. > :04:01.and some seeds. The idea is that in a few weeks we will have some
:04:01. > :04:07.interesting things we can take to the kitchen and we will be able to
:04:07. > :04:12.cook up some scrumptious recipes. The basil is going well. The spring
:04:12. > :04:18.onions are going well. The types, not so much. We think we know why!
:04:18. > :04:22.If you have done this... We think the soil is too deep and the seeds
:04:22. > :04:29.are too deep. If that is happening to you, try replanting and but the
:04:29. > :04:33.seeds are bit higher. I want to go over there. He is excited about
:04:33. > :04:39.this! We heard about a pen that allows you to draw something, calm
:04:39. > :04:43.down, we will get there! You can take your template of the page. Look
:04:43. > :04:51.how excited he is. He is desperate to have a go. The pens are in
:04:51. > :04:58.action. This is Daniel. This is a 3-D pen. It is very noisy, why is
:04:58. > :05:03.that? There is a fan in the back, we are taking plastic filament, running
:05:03. > :05:10.it through the pain, melting it and as it comes out it gets called, so
:05:10. > :05:17.it instantly becomes hot. So it is plastic that is melting? Yes, so you
:05:17. > :05:24.can draw in plastic stop it is recyclable. Tell us how it works.
:05:24. > :05:32.Drawing you can take off the page, is madness! I have the best job in
:05:32. > :05:37.the world. Grab a pen and we will show you. Anything you want to try.
:05:37. > :05:47.Because it is a 3-D shape, I'm going to try a pyramid, that is kind of a
:05:47. > :05:54.theme. How do I do that? Draw a 2-D shape on the age, flat. Who do you
:05:54. > :06:00.think will use pens like this? were really aiming for people who
:06:00. > :06:05.have crafts and hobbies. Teachers, artists, engineers, architects. A
:06:05. > :06:13.lot of uses. Architect, I can see how they will use it. And it would
:06:13. > :06:21.make maths so much fun! How do you make the pyramid shape now? You just
:06:21. > :06:28.lift your pen off the table. You hold it there for about ten seconds.
:06:29. > :06:33.That noise is trying the plastic now? Now you can let go of the pen.
:06:33. > :06:36.I want to point out some of the items we have got over here. You
:06:36. > :06:43.have created all kinds of things. You have the Eiffel Tower, you have
:06:43. > :06:52.sunglasses, and in particular, this bike. That must've taken absolutely
:06:52. > :07:01.ages! That took about an hour and a half. I can't help noticing these
:07:01. > :07:10.3-D Negra macro badges! We made you some badges. I am making you a
:07:10. > :07:14.present, look! He is actually pretty good at this! He is an unnatural.We
:07:14. > :07:20.thought you would set you a challenge, if it is all right with
:07:20. > :07:25.you, you could ill something for our studio. Absolutely. I actually have
:07:25. > :07:29.started, by the end of the show committee you will find out. We will
:07:29. > :07:35.come back and see how you are getting on. We know that you like
:07:35. > :07:40.Egypt that is why we picked it as a theme. This is Tutankhamen and a
:07:40. > :07:46.camel stop it fascinates everybody. Do you know what fascinates me even
:07:46. > :07:49.more? What is inside that? If you studied tension Egypt at school, you
:07:49. > :07:54.will know that whatever is behind something like this is very old and
:07:54. > :07:59.very precious. But meant at the museum found a way to get behind the
:07:59. > :08:06.mask without damaging the contents. I went along -- Manchester Museum.
:08:06. > :08:16.What have we got here? We don't know the name at the moment. Where did it
:08:16. > :08:21.
:08:21. > :08:28.happen? Somewhere in Egypt's. How old are they? About 2000 years old.
:08:28. > :08:33.This money is here for medical scan. Research has are using pioneering
:08:33. > :08:36.technology. Mummification was a pretty gruesome process, used by
:08:36. > :08:42.ancient Egyptians, of preserving our body after death. After the person
:08:42. > :08:48.died the body would be washed, dried and the organs removed. The only
:08:48. > :08:51.organ to remain would be the heart. The Egyptians believed that it --
:08:51. > :08:56.humans thought with their hearts. They would push it out with a hook
:08:56. > :09:02.up the nose. The body would be dried, Staffs, wrapped and sealed,
:09:02. > :09:09.only finding the light of day thousands of years later. Manchester
:09:09. > :09:13.Museum has a big collection of mummies. You are our Egyptologists,
:09:13. > :09:19.so you know everything there is to know about Egypt. Why did the
:09:19. > :09:23.ancient Egyptians wrap their dead bodies in these bandages? Because
:09:23. > :09:27.they wanted to preserve the body after death so that you can enjoy
:09:27. > :09:32.the afterlife. That is why you will be scanning these mummies, to see
:09:32. > :09:36.how well they have been preserved? Absolutely, we have a big
:09:36. > :09:45.collection, we want to see what is going on underneath the bandages
:09:45. > :09:48.without damaging them. This coughing is absolutely amazing. Inside, what
:09:48. > :09:56.is even more incredible is we can see a body intact. This is a real
:09:56. > :10:00.dead person. Absolutely, this is a lady who died over 2000 years ago.
:10:00. > :10:07.White unite just open up the Coppins today, why are you taking them to be
:10:07. > :10:12.scanned? Once you wrap it, you cannot unwrap it. Using modern
:10:12. > :10:19.scanning, we can look under the wrapping without destroying it.
:10:19. > :10:22.Let's see what a medical scan of money show us. Lead the way. Back at
:10:22. > :10:27.the hospital, it is almost time to scan the money that we will be
:10:27. > :10:34.investigating. This is obviously quite small, does that suggest it is
:10:34. > :10:39.a child? It must be a child, maybe three or four years old. What do we
:10:39. > :10:45.know about the person inside? lot, sadly. We don't know and name,
:10:45. > :10:51.we just know her as 1769, that is her Museum number. We hope that by
:10:51. > :10:57.scanning her will be able to tell how she lived, how she died. How do
:10:57. > :11:01.you think the person here would think about us doing this? I think
:11:01. > :11:05.the ancient Egyptians would be thrilled, because what they wanted
:11:05. > :11:09.after they died was to be remembered. They wanted to look
:11:09. > :11:14.their best, so they were covered in gold. By investigating them, we can
:11:14. > :11:24.give them an afterlife which I think they wanted. We need to see what we
:11:24. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:38.looked at this person for 2000 years, you are getting their
:11:38. > :11:41.privileged insight into what it looks like. The scans are a stunning
:11:41. > :11:47.insight. They are giving us the chance to gaze between the bandages
:11:47. > :11:54.for the first time in 2000 years, but what exactly do they mean?
:11:54. > :11:57.can tell the skull is empty. So that is a sign that the very traditional
:11:57. > :12:01.way of Egyptian mummification has been practised. A metal hook is
:12:01. > :12:08.stuck up the nose, and then the brain is removed through the
:12:08. > :12:12.nostrils. What else can you learn from this? You can learn how
:12:12. > :12:18.important it was to use the traditional method -- mummification
:12:18. > :12:24.technique of wrapping. There are so many bandages used, as we have seen
:12:24. > :12:28.there are several layers, so maybe the mummy was wrapped up once and
:12:28. > :12:35.then again and then wrapped a final time and then painted and given this
:12:36. > :12:39.golden outside. Does this suggest it was a wealthy person? To afford that
:12:39. > :12:44.amount of linen and the gold, this would have been an incredibly
:12:44. > :12:53.wealthy person, not royalty, but just below. This regular just has a
:12:53. > :12:57.bit of a surprise. Can you work out it is a boy or a girl? I think it is
:12:57. > :13:05.probably a male. From the shape of the pelvis, it looks very narrow,
:13:05. > :13:08.which is more like a male pelvis than a female pelvis. People doing
:13:08. > :13:14.the mummification may have made a mistake! We have other mummies where
:13:14. > :13:23.they have simply put the wrong mask on the wrong money. I feel really
:13:23. > :13:27.privileged. This is the cutting edge. That looks like a girl to me!
:13:27. > :13:31.But on the inside, it doesn't this ceremony look like a girl. Now they
:13:31. > :13:39.are looking inside because of technology, they are asking you
:13:39. > :13:46.questions. I think this debate will be going on for a while. What do you
:13:46. > :13:52.think, boy or girl? I don't know, I have no experience in that field.
:13:52. > :13:59.Please welcome the doctor! I know you spend a lot of time looking at
:13:59. > :14:04.the scans, what did you accomplish? It was definitely a girl. The
:14:04. > :14:07.bandages were so tightly wrapped that the bones were crushed. So that
:14:07. > :14:16.debate and argument lead you to know that they wound the body is really
:14:16. > :14:26.tightly. I quite like it. It is fascinating, ancient Egypt. They did
:14:26. > :14:33.
:14:33. > :14:37.The reason we are mummifying an orange is because we are copying
:14:37. > :14:42.what it would be to mummify a human being. Once you mummify a human
:14:42. > :14:45.being, you want to dry them out. We need to remove all of the wet bits,
:14:45. > :14:51.and then you dry them and put them into different jars, with different
:14:51. > :14:59.animal heads. So this would once have contained the organs belonging
:14:59. > :15:09.to an ancient Egyptian? Yes. That is nice excavation mark have you had
:15:09. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:21.body. Then they would remove the internal organs, as you are doing.
:15:21. > :15:29.Why? Because they want to dry out the chest cavity. You remove the
:15:29. > :15:32.juicy bits inside. Why?Because you want to dry out the whole body and
:15:32. > :15:37.you hope that in the afterlife you will be put out together again, so
:15:37. > :15:43.it does not matter that you lose your organs. They thought they were
:15:43. > :15:46.transported to the next life and then they would put the organs back
:15:46. > :15:52.in again. Exactly. This is a body that has been emptied of everything
:15:52. > :15:59.apart from the heart. You need the heart for the judgement in the
:15:59. > :16:05.afterlife. Next?We sterilise the body. Egyptians would use oil or
:16:05. > :16:10.wine. We are going to use vinegar. It starts to smell it funny, doesn't
:16:10. > :16:17.it? This was a smelly process. The ancient Egyptians would do this in a
:16:17. > :16:22.tent. All of the ancient Egyptians, or just those who had money? It was
:16:22. > :16:29.only the rich who could afford this expensive process. Now, you want to
:16:29. > :16:34.improve the smell, so you want to put some spice in there. And then
:16:34. > :16:40.you start to put in a mixture of salt and bicarbonate of soda, which
:16:40. > :16:46.the ancient Egyptians had a special name for. We have filled it with
:16:46. > :16:51.salt and bicarbonate of soda to dry it out and give it shape. And then
:16:51. > :16:59.you close it up a bit, and you want to wrap it up with bandages, made of
:16:59. > :17:04.linen. Was it just Egyptians that did this? Mummification is known all
:17:04. > :17:07.around the world but it was the ancient Egyptians that practised
:17:07. > :17:13.artificial mummification, and they got it spot on, so the bodies were
:17:13. > :17:20.very well preserved. They were fantastically well preserved. That
:17:20. > :17:24.one still had skin, 2500 years later. They really mastered it. We
:17:24. > :17:33.are mummifying an orange here. I have wrapped it in a bandage coated
:17:33. > :17:38.in Gulu. It is PDA glue, 80% glue and 20% water, to make it runny.
:17:38. > :17:42.Once you have wrapped the entire orange and you have let it dry in an
:17:42. > :17:48.airing cupboard, or somewhere dry, for a month or so, this is one I
:17:48. > :17:56.prepared earlier. This has dried out. It is a few months old. If you
:17:56. > :18:00.rattle it, you can hear it. How long will it take to mummify? In ancient
:18:00. > :18:04.Egypt, it took 70 days, but if you leave it in the airing cupboard for
:18:04. > :18:09.a few months, you will get a dry orange that will last for eternity.
:18:09. > :18:16.You can keep it until you are a grandparent yourself. If you want
:18:16. > :18:21.details on how to do this, head to the loo Peter website. And if you do
:18:21. > :18:25.have a go, let us know how you get on. You could mummify a melon as
:18:25. > :18:29.well. My airing cupboard is going to be full. Good luck with your
:18:29. > :18:35.mummifying and thank you for coming in to show us this. Thank you for
:18:35. > :18:39.the insight in Manchester Museum. Speaking of being creative, in
:18:39. > :18:43.future you could be making your own 3-D drawings. Take a look at how the
:18:43. > :18:48.boys are getting on. We are not sure what this is going to be. In about
:18:48. > :18:52.fifth in minutes we will be revealing what that turns out to be.
:18:52. > :18:57.I know that you love gadgets and I know you will want one of these by
:18:57. > :19:02.the end of the show. The other thing that you love our cars. I cannot
:19:02. > :19:06.tell you how amazing this is. Monaco is one of the most famous places for
:19:06. > :19:16.the Grand Prix circuit and Formula one is there this weekend. It is a
:19:16. > :19:18.
:19:18. > :19:23.small track but very famous and very showbiz and glamorous, like me! So I
:19:23. > :19:32.convinced them to let me be chauffeured around the track in a
:19:32. > :19:38.very cool sports car. This is an electric car. Amazing. I am standing
:19:38. > :19:48.in the richest race on earth, and also the most crowded on the planet.
:19:48. > :19:48.
:19:48. > :19:54.It is most famous for tight bends and fast cars. Every year, Monaco
:19:54. > :19:59.hosts the Formula one Grand Prix. It is a huge event for a city state the
:19:59. > :20:08.size of a small town. But it even has its own Royal family. Despite
:20:08. > :20:12.its size, Monaco has 70 times more people per square mile than the UK,
:20:12. > :20:17.and more billionaires and millionaires than anywhere in the
:20:17. > :20:20.world, hence the big boats. Monaco is on the shores of the
:20:20. > :20:23.Mediterranean Sea, bordered by France and not far from Italy, and
:20:23. > :20:28.it attracts people from all over the world when the race hits town. The
:20:28. > :20:32.Grand Prix is regarded as the hardest race in the Formula one
:20:32. > :20:42.calendar, requiring more skill than any other racing circuit. It is the
:20:42. > :20:47.Grand Prix that every driver wants to win. The first Monaco Grand Prix
:20:47. > :20:51.was in 1929 and it has been integral to Formula one since the 1950s. The
:20:51. > :20:54.race takes place on the city streets with most drivers reaching speeds of
:20:54. > :20:58.up to 180 mph. For the rest of the year, there is a strict speed limit.
:20:58. > :21:03.I am getting a tour from one of Monaco's sports car entrepreneurs,
:21:03. > :21:07.in an extraordinary electric car. This is an incredible car. This is
:21:07. > :21:10.probably the most advanced electric car in the world. It has
:21:11. > :21:17.4-wheel-drive and the suspension is electric, so that makes eight
:21:17. > :21:22.electric motors running at the same time. This is Monaco. You have a
:21:22. > :21:31.race circuit and a sports car. go and try it. I thought you would
:21:31. > :21:36.never ask. This car sounds fast, but we are sticking to the speed limit.
:21:36. > :21:42.This is the starting line of the track. 22 cars race around the two
:21:42. > :21:49.mile circuit diversity, and overtaking other drivers is hard.
:21:49. > :21:55.Each driver completes 78 laps on the racecourse to finish. All the
:21:55. > :22:03.drivers here, when they drive, they know they are part of history.
:22:03. > :22:10.fast would you come up here in a Formula one car? I would say at more
:22:10. > :22:18.than 120. You can see there is a bump here. After the race, you can
:22:19. > :22:24.see that all the cars land there. Did you always want to be a race
:22:24. > :22:28.driver? Yes, I wanted to race and build cars. But what is also
:22:28. > :22:36.important in Monaco is the environment, so somehow I wanted to
:22:36. > :22:44.do a car that was sporty, glamorous and clean. This is a very nice
:22:44. > :22:49.curves, so narrow. Some of the cars have a hard time turning here. White
:22:49. > :22:55.micro he is talking about the slowest term. Drivers have to slow
:22:55. > :23:05.down to get passed safely. How long would it take a Formula one car to
:23:05. > :23:06.
:23:06. > :23:10.do a lap? One minute something.That was one lap. That was absolutely
:23:10. > :23:16.amazing. What an incredible experience, not just Monaco but the
:23:17. > :23:26.car of the future. Thank you so much. Great to drive with you.So I
:23:27. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :23:31.can take it now? He did not let me take it. You were in your element.
:23:31. > :23:36.It was like driving the future. If you are a petrol head and you love
:23:36. > :23:44.Formula one, you can catch highlights this weekend on the BBC.
:23:44. > :23:48.That was fast. Earlier, we introduced Daniel and Faraz who
:23:48. > :23:53.brought the 3D pen. We set them a challenge and asked them to draw
:23:53. > :24:00.something by the end of the show. They have been beavering away.
:24:00. > :24:10.show you? You have had about 20 minutes and now you can reveal that
:24:10. > :24:13.it is Barney the dog. That is fantastic. What an amazing thing.
:24:13. > :24:18.Thank you so much for coming in and showing us what tens of the future
:24:18. > :24:24.might look like. We will display this on our shelf. Thank you.
:24:24. > :24:31.Brilliant. It is an electric car that you want to drive around
:24:31. > :24:41.Monaco, and a 3D pen. Anything from ancient Egypt restroom Mark I love
:24:41. > :24:49.
:24:49. > :24:53.set him a challenge three weeks ago, entering him into a competition. He
:24:53. > :24:57.has to play the trombone and March tomorrow. How are you feeling?
:24:57. > :25:02.have only had five lessons in three weeks and tomorrow is the

:25:23. > :25:27.will not get it wrong. Let's talk about your challenge. We all know
:25:27. > :25:31.how sporty shears. That has been established. Last week saw her take
:25:31. > :25:38.part in her first assessment to see if she has what it takes to take
:25:38. > :25:42.part in the Marine Yom. This is her assessment. You can do anything and
:25:42. > :25:49.we have seen that, but that is a very difficult challenge to take
:25:49. > :25:54.part in. Yes, a lot of it is in your mind. I was crawling through a
:25:54. > :26:00.tunnel and you think it is getting smaller. I will give it my best and
:26:00. > :26:03.you will find out in the next few weeks. It makes me feel good to know

:26:19. > :26:24.And there is a poem - good luck on your run, tell yourself you have
:26:24. > :26:29.one, just a poem to wish you the best, remember it is not such a big

:26:35. > :26:38.and we will keep you posted. We have been asking you to get in touch and
:26:38. > :26:43.let us know if you could travel anywhere in time, backwards,
:26:43. > :26:47.forwards, where would you go? Loads of you have been in touch. Matthew
:26:47. > :26:53.says he would go to the future to see the new generation of cars, and
:26:53. > :26:58.into the past to cheat in history exams. Chloe would go back to the
:26:58. > :27:02.time of dinosaurs to see what they really look like, but she would not
:27:02. > :27:05.love to get eaten. Angus would go back to this afternoon when he got a
:27:05. > :27:13.question wrong in his science test and he would change it. Don't worry,
:27:13. > :27:16.it will be fine. Hamish is clever and would go forward so he could see
:27:16. > :27:22.the lottery numbers and come back and use the same numbers. Share the
:27:22. > :27:31.winnings! Jessie would travel to Victorian times when sweets were
:27:31. > :27:36.really cheap. They were 1p when I was a kid! Let's have a look at what
:27:36. > :27:41.is happening next week. We will be joined by a fantastic juggler from
:27:41. > :27:47.the Moscow State Circus. He is juggling balls on a ball. Amazing.
