Today's show is a green badge special, and we are greener than | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
a frog eating a broccoli and pea salad inside a recycling bin. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
We've got eco-legends, we've got massive upcycling | 0:00:09 | 0:00:11 | |
-and we've got bees. -That's right. Wait, what? Bees, again? | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Yes! It's going to "bee" awesome. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
-Stop it. -Buzz off. -OK! | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
-ALL: -Hello! -You're watching Blue Peter. As you can see, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
we're in the Blue Peter Garden because our big badge boat bonanza | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
continues with a green badge special! | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
We love the green badge and it is super easy to get your hands on. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
All you have to do is send us in a bit of post that's anything | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
to do with conservation or nature. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
And what green badge special would be complete without George, | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
-our young gardener? -Hello! -Hello, George. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
-What a legend! -And George will be putting this man through his paces | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
in the BP fruit and veg garden, which, by the way, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
is looking gorgeous. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
As well as that, apparently bees are a gardener's best friend. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Well, I'm not sure I'd want loads of them crawling over my face. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Sadly, that's what happened to me. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
It was very itchy. You can see that a little bit later on. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm also taking part in a massive upcycling project which took | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
two and a half years to film. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
It's one of my favourites, stay tuned for that. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-As well as that, my favourite game. Whoa! -Wow! -Wow! -A flying tortoise! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
-That was close! -Spot Shelley. If you can see her anywhere in the show, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
get in touch and let us know where she's hiding. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
-Found her! I win. -Every single time. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Now, this badge is not just green in colour. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
Everything about it is green. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
It's made in a factory in the UK that's solar powered and... | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Well, take a look at this. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
RADZI: The green badge was the first of our BP badges to be made | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
from plastic left over from yoghurt pots! | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
The process starts with a new mould, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
which was expertly created by design engineer Simon. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
We start off with a 2D shape, give it a little bit of depth. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
We then end up with a complete badge. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
And then what we need to do is send some code to the milling machine, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
which cuts away the surface of the metal, leaving the impression, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
or lots of impressions, of a Blue Peter badge. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
It takes 45 hours to cut out the mould, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
which can make 36 badges at a time. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
The device holds the mould ready for the recycled plastic. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Which, like many of the machines, actually runs off solar power. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
The plastic is then heated to 240 Celsius. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
Let's make some badges! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
It then presses the plastic into the mould | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
and can make 3,500 badges per hour. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
So, here we have our box filled with badges. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
All they need now is a bit of colour. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
But I think they're all white(!) | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
It's like all right but it... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
To transform them into green badges, a printer, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
similar to one you might have at home, is used | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
and 72 can be printed at any one time. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
Finally, despite all these machines, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
every single badge is finished by hand. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
-Andy, lovely to meet you. -Hello, Radzi, you OK? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Yeah, what are you doing here? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Just putting the pin on the back of the badge. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
Then you just need a clasp on the back of the... | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
-Can I put it on? -Yeah, of course you can. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
-Thank you very much. -There we go. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
A clasp is now on and there we have it. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
The finished product, made right here in the UK | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
from recycled plastic by machines which are powered by the sun. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
And I think it looks absolutely fantastic. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
What a day that was and think how much plastic got saved. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
Think about all the green badges. You can earn yours, too. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
If you want to, all you've got to do is send us some stuff | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
that's nature-inspired, conservation-inspired, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
you know what you're doing. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
You send it to us and we stick it on our Big Badge Wall. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
It's looking very green this week. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
We're proud of you lot at home, especially Tom, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
who's earned his green badge. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:49 | |
He saw a little hedgehog going to look for nesting materials | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
in his garden. When he came back, he had a nice, big leaf. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
Good spot, Tom. You've earned yourself a green badge. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Feast your eyes on this creation, sent to us by Megan. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
Megan, the detail in this is incredible. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
We have stones on the path. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
-They're real! -It's dedicated to the Yanomami tribe | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
and you've even included solar panels on the top. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Megan, you got yourself a green badge. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-Look at it. -It's so good. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
We love 3D post. We love books as well. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
Connie's sent this in. This is her book of vegetables. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
If you look inside, you'll see that's Connie, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
holding one of her tomatoes that she's grown. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
And the book basically takes you, step-by-step, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
through five different fruits and veg that she's grown. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
It's absolutely brilliant, Connie. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
If you look at the front, we've grown you your very own green badge. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
It's on its way to you. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Also, one of my favourite bits of post for a while, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
because it's upcycling and recycling at the same time. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
Look at that. Kate has sent a recycling bin. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
It's got a little bit of a lid in there, it's got a bottle top, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
another bottle top of a different kind. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
If you see here, you haven't thrown that away, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
we've put that in there for you, Kate. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
Congratulations, a green badge on its way to you. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
If you want to get a green badge, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
all you've got to do is send in amazing green post, | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
just like this stuff here. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
And you never know, we could even hand deliver it. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
LINDSEY: We got a letter from this school in Stafford | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
inviting us to the grand opening | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
of a very special green classroom they've been creating. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
We thought it sounded great | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
and there's nothing I like better than a party. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
None of these guys know that I'm here today. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
So, I've recorded a secret video message | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
to play at the end of their presentation. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
Yep, this is going to be a surprise party. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Hey, guys. It's Lindsey here from Blue Peter. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
I just want to say a huge well done from all of us here. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
You have well and truly earned one of these bad boys. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
I'm on a shoot today, so I'm a little bit far away | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
to hand deliver it myself. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
Right? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:41 | |
They have absolutely no idea I'm right outside. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
Time to have some fun. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
Hey! Surprise! APPLAUSE | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
Listen, we think your classroom is amazing. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
You have all well and truly earned yourselves a green badge. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Who wants one? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:04 | |
And the reason I'm handing out green badges | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
is because this grand opening is for an eco-classroom. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
Over the last two years, | 0:06:10 | 0:06:11 | |
the guys involved have designed and built | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
an incredible outdoor learning space | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
that pupils here can use for years to come. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
It's nearly ready for its grand unveiling. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
But there's still a few jobs to do. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
So, guys, I know there's a few finishing touches that need doing. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
-Am I right? ALL: -Yes. -Can I help out? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-ALL: -Yes! -Are you sure? OK, let's go! | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Featuring a bee hotel, bird boxes and a pond, | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
this design will create homes for local wildlife. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
And the guys here have worked really hard throughout the build. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
So, I've put on my gardening gloves. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
-Shall we get gravelling? ALL: -Yes. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-Come on, then. Who's on the wheelbarrow? -Me. -OK, good. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
You know what, being on Team Gravel is a lot of hard work. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
I'm going to go and see how some of the other teams are getting on. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Bye, guys. ALL: -Bye! -I'll just leave that there. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-Lindsey, come and help with bee homes! -Shall I help? OK, come on. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
This is looking very good. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
Very colourful. Lottie, what's going on here? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
So, these are 5-star hotel bee homes. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
But we haven't finished painting them yet. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-Would you like my help? -Yes, we would. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
I love painting. Painting I can do. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
Where's a brush for me? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
We need a brush for Mrs Lindsey. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-Or Miss. -You can call me Lindsey, you don't have to call me Miss. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
I'm not a teacher. Why are there little holes? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
Well, you see, the bees, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
they go in there and make all of their honey and their honeycomb. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
It could be a bee and bee(!) | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
A bee and bee! Oh, she's good! | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
But it's not just bees that are lucky enough | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
to find a new home here. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:46 | |
It's also created space to grow plants. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
Planting team, Edward, talk to me. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
You're the boss. What do I need to do? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
You have to loosen up the roots to help it grow. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
So, give it a bit of a tickle, guys. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
Just spread them. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
I think that should be fine. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
In. Go, go, go, cover it up! | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
And then do we press down a little bit? | 0:08:04 | 0:08:05 | |
-Yeah. -OK, it's looking good. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
And there's even some of the most colourful bird boxes I've ever seen. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
How's it going? You are all covered in paint! | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-Are you going to get told off? -No. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
So, we've got a load of bird boxes here. What's your box? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
Because that looks pretty cool and a little bit different. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
It's a bat box. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
Amazing! What does it feel like today | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
seeing the garden all come together? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:27 | |
You must be quite proud of yourself. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
-Yeah. -I didn't think it would turn out like this. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
-Is it better than you thought it would be? -Yeah. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
After a final tidy up... | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
..I get to crack out the scissors. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
So, guys, massive congratulations on all your hard work. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
I now declare this eco-garden officially open! | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
CHEERING | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
This has been brilliant. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
And what an amazing space. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:53 | |
It's not just these guys that are going to get to benefit from this. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
All the schools in Stafford are going to be able to come here | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
and get involved and use this eco-classroom. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
And that is exactly what the green badge is all about. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
You know what, I think that's one of my favourite badge hits ever. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
I loved it. Well done, everyone. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:12 | |
That's because they were eco-legends. Speaking of which, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
I'll see you in a bit. I want you to walk down here with me for a second. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
I'm going to introduce you now to another legend. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
It's always great to have him on the show. George, so good to see you. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
-Hi, Barney. -How you doing? -I'm great, thank you. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Up top. So, eight weeks ago we were here and it was just a mud bath. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
There was nothing but soil. We had a bit of a planting session. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-We did. -And now look at it. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
I know, it looks incredible, doesn't it? | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Courgettes over there. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
Flowers blooming. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:36 | |
There's lettuce. The veg is growing and, quite frankly, | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
them beans look like they've outgrown that framework. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
Yes, they really have. It's amazing to think this much growth can happen | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
in only eight weeks' time. You can see why it's important to keep | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
a garden well-maintained because it grows very quickly, doesn't it? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-How do I know what a weed is and what a plant is? -Experience. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Which is something I don't have, which is why you're here. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
But for those at home that might want to get involved? | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
What's the best way for them to know? | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Well, the best way, really, | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
is to look at images on the internet and find out what a weed looks like, | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
then compare it to the other plants your garden. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
OK, fine. So, what are we doing today? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
Yeah, today we're going to harvest some plants. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
I think we should start with maybe them courgettes. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
Perfect. They're really lovely, aren't they? | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
They're looking fab. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:18 | |
Here we are. So, you see that one at the back? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-The big one? -We're going to take that off. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
So, these plants actually can be quite spiky. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
It doesn't look like it, but they're very rough. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
So you've got to wear gloves when doing this. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
Also, the fruit is actually quite hard on the plant. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
You've got to take them off using scissors. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-OK, no worries. -Going to get that one there, I'm going to cut it. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
Just at that green bit, there. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:41 | |
-There we go. -You harvest, I'll hold. That's the deal. -Awesome. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
So there is one down here that we're just going to get now. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
OK. I'll move out your way. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
Thank you. We're going to get that one. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
That one's going to be nice and sweet, because it's quite small. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
Is that how it works? The smaller, the sweeter? | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
Yes. And there is some kale down here as well. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
-OK. -It's good to get this. We'll get it down there. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
So, we'll get a few leaves off this and this can go into salad. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
Could do a little courgette and kale salad. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
This is brilliant. It's like having your own shop in the back garden. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-Happy? -That's really good, that. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-OK. -Now, because we're over here, we could maybe get some beans. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Great idea. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
How do you know which ones to pick? I guess the biggest ones, right? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
The biggest ones are, for once, the better ones. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
But not too big. Again, they can get a bit bitter. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
I've learned quite a lot today. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:27 | |
The smaller the better when it comes to vegetables? | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
If they're really small, they're sweet and they're juicy. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
If they're too big, they're bitter? | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
-Yes. -Great tip. -So, medium-sized. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
For example, this one is a perfect-sized one. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
So I'm going to get that one. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-Lovely. Thank you. -Oh, I can see a really, really big one. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
Oh, wow, that's incredible. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
I think I've got plenty here for a salad, George. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
-Thank you very much. -Fabulous. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:49 | |
Always a pleasure to see you in the garden. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
Thank you for all your help. And thank you for all your top tips. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
A round of applause for George, everyone. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:55 | |
-What a ledge. -You know what? The garden's actually looking great. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
It really is. But we can't just thank George for the hard work. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
-Oh, no. -Don't thank me, mate. I just turned up, he picked the veg | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
and I'm holding it, simple as that. Quite an easy day today. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
No, I'm talking about the bees. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
-Ah, yes, the bees. -Because they've been pollinating the plants | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
throughout the spring and summer. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
-We know someone who knows all about bees, don't we? -Mm-hmm... | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-Er, who? -I don't remember... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
-It was me! -Oh, OK. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Do you not remember my bee challenge? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-Who could forget? -Exactly. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
Shall we remind you? Have a look at this. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Welcome to Quince Honey Farm in Devon, | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
the home to almost 100 million bees. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
Normally those bees are in hives, making honey. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Sweet little bees. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Except today, they're going to be on my face. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
I'm attempting an ancient tradition called the beard of bees, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
a practice that dates way back to the early 1800s and involves having | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
potentially thousands of bees on my face. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
It's a challenge with a history on Blue Peter, | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
and was last attempted by Helen in 2009. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
But after 20 minutes of having the bees crawling on her, | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
they eventually lost patience. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
Ow! Stung me, stung me! On my face, on my face. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
Yes, she's got a sting on her face. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:04 | |
-All right. OK. -Ow! | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
And now I want to see if I can go one better and complete the beard. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
But before I attempted the challenge, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
I wanted to find out a bit more about the bees themselves. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
This is Ian. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
He's a honey farmer and looks after all the hives here. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
Ian, how you doing? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-Good, thanks. How you doing? -Well, I'm OK. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
I'm a little bit nervous being around all these bees. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
What exactly are you looking out for? | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
I'm just checking the health of the colony, really, | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
just seeing what's happening inside. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
Central to my challenge today is the queen bee. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
And she is vital to any bee colony. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
The queen is usually the mother to most, if not all, | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
the bees in the hive. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Is that her, number 44? | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
-That's it, you've got it. -OK. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
Why do you choose her to be the queen? Who makes that decision? | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
The bees make that decision. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:49 | |
-OK. -When the colony needs to change the queen, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
it's the worker bees that will decide. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
They'll take an egg laid by the original queen | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-and they just treat it differently. -Sorry. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
And that's what changes it, | 0:14:00 | 0:14:01 | |
either into a worker bee or into a queen bee. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
I am nervous for later, though. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:05 | |
At least we've got these massive suits on. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
Yeah, but you won't have later. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
Yes, you heard that right, no more bee suit for me. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
But how do I get the bees on my face? | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
So, we'll take the queen bee, who's already in a cage, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
and then we're going to transfer her onto your chin. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
She emits a pheromone, a smell. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
The other bees want to be near her. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
They've been separated from their queen for about an hour. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
So now they're really pleased to see her. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-They'll just follow her. -I guess the question is, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
how do you know if you've got the perfect bee beard? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
It's a question of fashion. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
What do you like? | 0:14:36 | 0:14:37 | |
A nice strip 'tash? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:41 | |
Ooh, a goatee? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:43 | |
Nah. Not sure about that. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Now, that, I like. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
You know what, I think I'm going to keep it traditional | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
and go for a big, bushy beard. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
To stop the bees getting in my ears or up my nose, | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
I'm using cotton wool to plug the holes. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
This is weird. Do I look good? | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
And Ian helps me apply a balm around my eyes that the bees can't walk on. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
Is it because they'll slip off? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Exactly, yes. They don't want to walk on a surface that's slippery. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
Let's go and meet the bees. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
There's one. There's one! | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
-Follow that one! -I'm working with experts and have a medic nearby. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
Do NOT try this at home. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
The first thing I need to do is get used to the feel of the bees. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
Uhh... Aghh! | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
Ian wants me to touch the bees with my hand... | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
I'm shaking so much. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:32 | |
..so I can get used to the feeling of them on my skin. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-That's it, good. -OK. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
Right. Let's do this. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
I just want you to put your chin over here, like this. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Uhh, OK. OK, OK, OK. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
At first I can barely bring myself to touch the bees with my chin. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
This is a truly bizarre and nerve-racking experience. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
I can't even open my mouth to speak. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
Good. That's all right. That was a bee's leg gripping onto your chin. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-OK. -What we're going to do now, | 0:16:01 | 0:16:02 | |
we're going to take the queen bee away from the cluster and | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-we're going to position her under your chin. OK? -Yes. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
-All right. -Yeah. -Let's go for it. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
I've never done something more for the badge. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
SHE GASPS | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
-You might have one or two land your face now. -OK. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
So try to keep calm. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
It's on my hand. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
Arghhh! | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
Ian takes the queen and ties her around my chin. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
OK. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:31 | |
This is really going to start to feel uncomfortable, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
but you're handling it really well now. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
We top up and we attract more bees by you leaning forwards. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
As the bees start coming across onto my face, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
I'm feeling more and more uneasy. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
Forwards. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:48 | |
You're doing really good. Really well. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
I need to keep as calm and still as possible. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
But that's easier said than done | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
when you have bees crawling on your face. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Good, well done. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:00 | |
It's so hard not to flinch. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
But just when I think things are starting to go well... | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
Ow, ow, ow! | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
I've been stung. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
Once one bee has stung, | 0:17:11 | 0:17:12 | |
it sends a signal to all the others that they're in danger. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
And then I'm stung for a second time. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
Ow! | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
I don't want to get stung. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
Ian steps in to call it off. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
It wasn't to be for me today and for mine and the bees' safety, | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
the challenge was brought to a halt. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
But it's not all bad news. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
How many did I get on, like, ten? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-No, no, no, there was a few hundred there. -Really? | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
But as soon as you got the sting on the forehead... | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Ow, ow, ow! | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
I know, I panicked. And then it stung my lip, | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
which I can feel is getting bigger and bigger. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-You did come away with a goatee. -Did I? -Yeah, yeah. I'm so impressed. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
-So impressed with that. -Ow, it hurts to smile. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
You know what, standing here now, at the end of today's challenge, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
I am proud. Because I was very, very nervous | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
and I managed to face my fear, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
quite literally put my face into a load of bees, which I was scared of. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
So, at least I'm not afraid of bees any more. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
BUZZING Whoa! | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
You know what, I did find that really difficult. But a great day, | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
and also good to keep the BP tradition of challenges going. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
You know what, as BP presenters, we really do get the chance to do | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
some quite incredible stuff. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:27 | |
And at this point I should probably share some news with you. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
It's been an amazing six and a half years for me here on Blue Peter. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
But I've decided it's time for me to hang up my BP badge and move on to | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
new adventures. I've got to say a huge thank you to you, the audience. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
You've been absolutely amazing. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
Not just your support, but the stuff you've sent in as well, | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
all the pictures of me doing various challenges over the years. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
I've loved being a part of your Blue Peter journey, too. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
But it's time for me to go. I'm not going just yet, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
I'm going on September the 14th, so plenty of time left yet. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Let's make these last few shows as amazing as possible. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
So now it's over to you. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
We want you to send in all of your favourite Barney memories. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Whether it's a picture, whether it's a model. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
That's right. Or you could send in some happier, funny memories, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
just like when Barney always falls up the step | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-at the start of a live show. -I never see it! | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
Or my favourite, when you went Cossack dancing in Ukraine. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
Did you like my costume? | 0:19:13 | 0:19:14 | |
-The outfit, I loved it. -I thought so. -Or it could be one of Barney's | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
famous falls, whether it be him falling out of a tin bath, | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
his award-winning dive or his fall down a vert ramp on a scooter. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
That award-winning dive really hurt my head. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
Anyway, get in touch. Can't wait to hear from you, as always. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Now, one of the biggest films I've ever done on Blue Peter took | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
two and a half years to complete. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
If you think you've seen upcycling, think again. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:36 | |
Have a look at this. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
BARNEY: This is King's Cross in London | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
and right now this part of the capital | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
is getting a bit of a face-lift. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
That's because this is the biggest building site in Europe. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
So big it covers a massive 67 acres. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
That's about the same as 43 football pitches side-by-side. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
So, work is underway to create 50 new buildings, 2,000 new homes, | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
20 new streets and ten public squares. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
And that's going to be home to 45,000 people. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
So, if you think about it, that's like a city within a city. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
It's a giant project that will take ten years to complete | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
and totally change this part of London. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
But while they've been transforming this area, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
there have been a few things that have stood in their way. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
Gas holders. Huge structures built to store gas so it was instantly | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
available to heat people's homes. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
At one time, they were dotted around towns and cities across the UK. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
Now, technology has moved on, and many are no longer needed. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
But they're part of the landscape, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
and have become Grade II listed buildings. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
And that means they can't be demolished. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
So, when the architects were making plans for this King's Cross site, | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
they had to include these 150-year-old gas holder structures, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
and they had to be refurbished, | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
and they had to be included in this project. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
It's a great idea. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
It's basically a giant bit of upcycling, | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
and we love upcycling on BP. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
So, we're going to be following this project as it happens | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
over the next few years. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Yes, that's right, I said years. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
We begin by talking to lead engineer, Morwenna. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
I don't think many building sites have been classified as glamorous | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
locations, but I love it here. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
So, why was the decision made to not just sort of scrap them, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
get rid of them, and just build on this site without them here? | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
King's Cross is going under a massive redevelopment at the moment, | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
and one of the iconic things about King's Cross | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
is actually these gas holder structures. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:29 | |
They mean something to all the people | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
who've ever come to King's Cross on the train, | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
and they mean things to the people who live here. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
We're really excited about taking these and trying to do something new | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
and exciting with them, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:39 | |
but retaining the heritage and the character of the site. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Being more than 100 years old, though, | 0:21:42 | 0:21:44 | |
it's safe to say the gas holders need a bit of love. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
Well, that happens up here, 200 miles away, in Barnsley. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
The massive steel pillars are taken down and moved to Yorkshire. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
Numerous coats of paint have been battered | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
by decades of British weather. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
This all needs to be taken off, to strip back to the metal beneath. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
And if there's one thing I love, it's using a hammer, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
so I'm not missing this. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:09 | |
Expert Richard shows me how. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
We use the pointed hammer. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
And then you just chip away. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:16 | |
BANGING | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
If you look at this here, | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
you can see all the different individual layers of the paint. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
-That's unbelievable, really, isn't it? -Yes, yes. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
But it's all coming off | 0:22:27 | 0:22:28 | |
to get a brand-new coat of long-lasting paint. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
Once I've chipped it. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
-How many more of these? -I would say about 49 to 50. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
49 to 50 more of these... | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
-Yes. -There's all the pillars, there's all the latticework. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
It really is a serious project, isn't it? | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
Very serious. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
Once all the old paint is stripped off and the metalwork is cleaned up, | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
it's time to apply a fresh coat. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
This will leave the gas holders looking as good as new and protect | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
them from the elements for years to come. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
I think you'll agree, the work the engineers are doing is absolutely | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
amazing and I cannot wait to see how it all looks when it's put back | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
together again in its new home in King's Cross. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
But that takes time. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Lots of time. It's more than a year later before all the columns | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
are restored and ready to put back in place in London. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
And when they are, I'm here to help. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
Just the size of these things is incredible. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
Each pillar weighs up to ten tonnes. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
It takes one day for one column. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
That's how heavy they are and how big a job this is. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
It's awesome. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
So, once the column's been lifted into place, it needs to be secured, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
and that's where I come in. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
I just don't know what I'm doing, yet, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
but I imagine that all this money and time and manpower invested, | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
it's going to be something pretty hi-tech. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
I reckon it's going to be something like a crane, or maybe, you know, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
like, a laser. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
Or a really big spanner. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Really? | 0:23:57 | 0:23:58 | |
That's right. Even on the most state-of-the-art building project, | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
sometimes you just need a bit of elbow grease. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
So, there you have it, one more column stands proudly in place. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
Just another 107 to go. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
Pfft! | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
Two and a half years after I first visited the site, | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
I am back to see the finished result, and I cannot wait. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
I mean, just look at that. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
It's beautiful. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Project director, Tom, can tell me how this giant restoration | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
has come together. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
The last time I stood down there, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
it was just a bit of mud and some stones and now look at it. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
What a project. Tom, so you're the project director. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
You must be very happy with how things have gone. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
Yeah, we're very pleased. It's been a long five years of effort | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
from a huge team and we're almost at the end of | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
what is a completely unique building | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
for not only London but for the rest of the world. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
I think it's been just over two years for me actually being involved | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
with it. It's been quite an epic undertaking, hasn't it? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
It's been a labour of love a for a lot of people involved. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
Our vision for King's Cross was always to create a new destination, | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
a new place for London that people felt was part of the city but was a | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
completely unique experience. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:11 | |
And we really feel the gas holders is right at the heart of that | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
and everyone's very proud of the result. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
It's been an absolute pleasure to be part of it. Thank you. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
Thank you for your help. And any time you want to | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
pick up a paintbrush, you're welcome to come back. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
Yeah, maybe not. What I love about this project | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
is that it's transformed a part of London that was almost forgotten | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
and will now provide modern homes and affordable housing. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
This has got to be one of the biggest upcycling projects | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
I've ever been a part of on Blue Peter. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:36 | |
In fact, I think in Blue Peter's history. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
It just goes to show that if there's something old, don't throw it away, | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
you can turn it into something new. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
Look at what they've done with this place. It's beautiful. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
Do you know what? Only on Blue Peter could you do a film like that. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Such a long time to film it, but it was so, so worth it. So much fun. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
Amazing. That is sadly just about all we've got time for today, | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
but not before we tell you where Shelley was hiding. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
Let's take a look. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:57 | |
There she is, eating her way through the lettuce. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
-Classic Shells, Linds. -Classic Shells. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:01 | |
She love a bit of lettuce. She actually does, in real life. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
She genuinely does. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:05 | |
Next week, the big badge boat bonanza. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
-Did I say that right? -You did. -Good. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
It continues with the purple badge, my favourite. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
So, it's all about you. We've listened to what you want. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
You want epic guitar skills, extreme cheese, and loads of BP fans, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
and that's what we to give you. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
Don't forget, you can get your own purple badge by signing one of the | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
purple badge forms just like what George has done. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
George, tell us what you'd like to see on the show. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
So, I'd like to see the history of Blue Peter, | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
so the old presenters, | 0:26:28 | 0:26:29 | |
where the name came from, and just generally about it. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
You're a genius. We'll see what we can do. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:33 | |
But also, that's how easy it is to get a purple badge. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
George, you've well and truly earned your very own purple badge! | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
-There you go. -Woohoo! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:40 | |
You've welly and truly earnt it. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
That's because it was a garden show. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
-It is. -Well done. -So, would you like to earn a purple badge? | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
Of course you would. How do you do it? | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
You jump on to the Blue Peter website, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
where you can also get involved | 0:26:50 | 0:26:51 | |
in the case of the missing Radzi's wrestling outfit. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
It wasn't me. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:56 | |
It's a good job Robin Stevens, murder mystery author, | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
is on the case. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:00 | |
Jump onto the website, | 0:27:00 | 0:27:01 | |
see what evidence you can use to help solve the case as well. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
And while you're there, take a look at this. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
Shelley and I are still cycling around the world. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
The plan is to get around the world in 80 days | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
and I'm over a quarter of the way around the planet. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
I think you'll agree, lots to keep you entertained there. Have fun. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
Right, are we done? Because there's some gardening to be done. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
All right, George! Getting a bit big for his boots, isn't he? | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
No, they fit quite perfectly, thank you. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
-Yes! -Taught him everything he knows. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
-Come on. -Come on, you three. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
Absolutely. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
Oh, before I forget, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
there's only three weeks left for you to earn | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
your 2017 limited edition Blue Peter sport badge. Happy dance! Hey! | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
-Come on, Radzi. -OK. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 |
