0:00:05 > 0:00:08- Hello. On today's show, we don't know what's going to happen.- No.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11- No idea.- Storm Doris has taken the nation by, well, storm.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15- And nobody has made it to the studio.- Which means that's gone.
0:00:15 > 0:00:16That's gone. It's all gone.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20- Yeah, welcome to the "livest" Blue Peter ever.- Help.
0:00:35 > 0:00:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Hello. Hi. Yes, that was today's show.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41But now we don't need a script any more because it's all
0:00:41 > 0:00:43brand-new to everyone. How are you doing?
0:00:43 > 0:00:44It's a live Blue Peter,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47and to celebrate the extravaganza that is World Book Day and
0:00:47 > 0:00:50the Blue Peter Book Awards next week, we had two guests in
0:00:50 > 0:00:53the studio today, but they couldn't make it because of Storm Doris.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55But don't worry about it, because we have got them on the phone
0:00:55 > 0:00:57and we're going to be speaking to them soon.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59That is the legend that is Sir Chris Hoy and Francesca Simon.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Stay tuned.- And they're going to be talking about their books
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Horrid Henry and Flying Fergus. So, Barney, that got me thinking.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I thought I could be Laughing Lindsey.- OK.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Which would make me Barfing Barney. That doesn't work, does it?
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Let's go...Bonkers Barney. That's a good one.- We like that.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17What would your alliterative name be? Hello, camera two.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Maybe you're called Colin. You'd be Crazy Colin, something like that.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Maybe you're called Hannah, you'd be Happy Hannah.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25You get the idea. Let us know what your alliterative name would be.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Head to the Blue Peter website and leave your comment.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We'll try read out as many as we can later in the show.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Now, it's a real page turner of a show. I didn't write that bit.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34But it sounded good, didn't it?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37So we're going to be looking at the best storybook nominees,
0:01:37 > 0:01:38very exciting.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Also, Shrove Tuesday is just around the corner,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43so Radzi is going to be cooking us some pancakes with a difference.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I cannot wait for that. He's going to be showing his flipping skills.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Speaking of which, where is Radzi? Is he held up in the storm as well?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52No, Radzi is not held up in Storm Doris.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55He is doing a very exciting Blue Peter challenge pretty much
0:01:55 > 0:01:58right now, and we can't tell you anything more about it.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00It is so cool. I actually know what he's doing.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Can I tell them a little bit? - No, not one bit. No.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05All the producers are going, "No! Don't say anything."
0:02:05 > 0:02:07How about Spot Shelley? You know the game by now,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09it's called Spot Shelley. It's very simple.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12She's going to be hiding in the show somewhere today.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The first person to get in touch and tell us where she was hiding
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- wins their very own weather balloon. - No, you don't win a weather balloon.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- You win a shout out. - Are you going now?- Yeah, bye.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I'm about to have a phone call, aren't I?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Yes, so, we wanted to get the legend that is Sir Chris Hoy into the
0:02:25 > 0:02:27studio to show you just what a legend he is.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30He couldn't make it, but he is on the phone. Sir Chris, are you there?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I am, yes, hello. - So good to hear your voice, so good.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- You've had a bit of a nightmare today, haven't you?- I have.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I've been trying to get from London up to Manchester and it's just
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- been one thing after another, but... - Even with your thighs.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Nice to be on the phone.- Thank you very much for being on the phone and
0:02:47 > 0:02:48talking to us.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Obviously if I was to give you a short intro, it would be
0:02:50 > 0:02:53impossible because you've done so many things over the years.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55You are 11 times world champion,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57you are six times Olympic champion, you've got seven Olympic medals.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Six of them are gold, one of them is silver.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02You are the joint most successful cyclist of all time.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You are a Blue Peter gold badge holder,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06you are a race car driver, and now you're an author.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Is there anything else that you can't do, Sir Chris?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- I can't cook.- You can't cook?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Well, listen, Radz is going to show you how to make pancakes very soon.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Let's talk about you being a racing car driver first, because the
0:03:18 > 0:03:22last time we saw you, you were on two wheels, and now you're in four.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- So, tell us how that's going. - Yes, it's going really well.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race last year
0:03:28 > 0:03:32in France, and that essentially is a nonstop race for 24 hours.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36So a real taste of endurance and you do it with two other team-mates.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40And it's brilliant fun. Racing in cars, flat-out, 200mph.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Yeah, very exciting and a lot of fun.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We're watching a video here, it looks absolutely awesome.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Let's move on to you being an author, which is, I guess,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51a little more sedate, you're sat at home and you're writing rather
0:03:51 > 0:03:52than whizzing around a track at 200mph.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54But you are talking about Flying Fergus,
0:03:54 > 0:03:58who does fly quite quickly. Is he a little bit of you, Fergus?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01There's a little bit of Fergus, yes. A little bit of me in Fergus.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03He's basically a nine-year-old boy who...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06He's a very ordinary boy, but he has an extraordinary imagination,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08and he loves his bike.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12And he gets a bike for his birthday, it's an old second-hand bike.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15But it turns out the bike has magical powers.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So it's about all of his adventures and what happens when
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- he rides his bike. - Watching you on your bike,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22everyone thought you had magical powers, do you know that?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24But it was just the size of those legs.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25So, how about the new stories?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Has he got any adventures he's about to go on that you can tell us about?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yes. Well, there's a new book out this week, book number five,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33and it's called The Winning Team.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36And he has to team up with his arch nemesis, Wesley Wallace, to
0:04:36 > 0:04:38compete at the National Championships.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42So it's all about cooperation and working together as a team, but
0:04:42 > 0:04:45also all the fun stuff as well when he goes to Nevermore,
0:04:45 > 0:04:46the magical kingdom,
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- and all the exciting things that happens to him there.- Amazing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Sir Chris, it was so good to speak to you, thank you for joining us.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Thank you so much.- All the best on your forward journey going home.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57And you mentioned you're not a great cook.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Well, if you watch this later on,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00you'll see that Radzi is an amazing cook. He really is.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And it also gives you a bit of a pick-me-up as well.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Who doesn't like pancakes? But who doesn't like pancakes with a twist?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Watch this.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11'Hey, you.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15'Are you tired of making the same, boring pancakes every year?
0:05:15 > 0:05:20'Well, don't be downbeat, because it's time to transform that treat.'
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Let's do this!
0:05:26 > 0:05:27'That's right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30'I'm going to learn how to brighten up my pancakes,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34'and who better to show me than the guys behind online cooking
0:05:34 > 0:05:36'phenomenon SORTEDfood?'
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Welcome to chocoholics not so anonymous.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44'Barry, Jamie and Mike show off their kitchen creativity to
0:05:44 > 0:05:47'over 1.5 million viewers every week.'
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- HE LAUGHS - Why would you do that?!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54'And it's all under the watchful eye of professional chef Ben.'
0:05:54 > 0:05:58- It's my favourite today. - Ben, absolutely lovely to meet you.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- No, pleasure.- So, how on earth is it possible to make pancakes exciting?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Well, I think the thing with pancakes is they're so simple.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Once you've got the classic batter made,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09basically it's up to your creativity to come up with something awesome.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I like the sound of this a lot. Here we have the classic batter mix.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Very, very simple. You're going to make it. All the dry stuff in first.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- So we've got flour.- Oh, no!- Good start.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23That's what I wanted to happen. 'We'll try that again.'
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Flour. Fantastic. A little bit of salt.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30We're going to slightly sweeten it with some sugar and baking powder.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Give that a whisk up. So, a couple of eggs. We can crack those in.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36And then just pop the shell beside you.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39And then if you add in the milk a little bit at a time,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41basically it avoids lumps.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Last bit of milk.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44And then a really handy top tip.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Rather than having to oil or butter your pan every time you cook
0:06:47 > 0:06:51a pancake, take some melted butter and add it into your mix.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56'That, my friends, is what we call in the business a game changer.'
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- OK, I think we're done.- Perfect.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Now, that looks completely smooth and lump free.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04It still is just basic batter. So how can it be creative?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06You can change up the cooking method.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07You can put it into different shapes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You can serve it with whatever you want.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Because it is so simple,
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- it really is just like a canvas for so many new ideas.- Amazing.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- But here are three that I made earlier...- Fantastic.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- ..so that we can have a pancake batter.- 'Oh, yes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27'I'm taking on the rest of the team, Barry, Jamie and Mike,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31'to see who can make the most imaginative pancakes possible.'
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Gents, are we up for it? - Let's do this.- Come on.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39'Jamie and I are working on our own.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- 'And Barry and Mike are teaming up as a duo.'- Ready?- Let's do this.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- 'Let battle commence.' - Now, I like pancakes.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51But I also really like pizza. So I'm going to make pancake pizzas.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54We are making pancakes and cupcakes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- Some could call them pancake cupcake bites.- But most don't.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Everybody loves sweet stuff. Well, I do anyway because of my sweet tooth.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07So I'm going to combine all of that in lollipop pancake things.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Things?- Things.- That's a great description.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Now the pancake is into the pan,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18I can start chopping up my pepperoni and my sun-dried tomatoes and
0:08:18 > 0:08:21grate in some cheese and sprinkle it on top when the underside is cooked.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Oh, it looks a little bit overdone, that, mate.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- What? I've just poured it in. - Yeah, I knew that.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29So, first thing we've got to do is zest
0:08:29 > 0:08:32a lemon into our premade batter.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33While you do that, Baz,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I'm going to line a muffin tin with some butter.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Now, I have washed my hands.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Now, we're going to kick off with the cocoa powder,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44and I'm going to use half of my batter, like so.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I'm going for the sweet, cos I think...
0:08:46 > 0:08:50we've had lunch, we had dinner, oh, I need a nice little desert.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Hello, chocolate swirl pancake...things.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56'Time might be tight, but we're still having fun.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58'Triple blueberry challenge, anyone?'
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Yes!
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Yeah!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Ohhh, yeah!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06No spillage, that is impressive.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07OK, here we go.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I need to do a swirl, a perfect swirl.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10How big are these lollipops?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Uh, we will find out.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15'Hey-hey, looking good.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19'But Jamie isn't messing around with his pizza creations.'
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now, obviously, the best thing about a pizza is,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25you can put whatever toppings you want.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28As long as everything you put on is cooked, it's going to be great.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32'And Barry and Mike are getting serious with their cupcakes.'
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Now, this is the good bit.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We're going to be putting blueberries
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and white chocolate into the batter.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Be generous.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I think yours is burning.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Hello. I mean...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Yes! That has actually worked.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Oh, mate, that looks amazing.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55These go into an oven at 220 for about 13 to 15 minutes.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- OTHERS GIGGLE - Excuse me, excuse me... Stop it!
0:09:57 > 0:09:58No messing around in the kitchen.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02THAT is a pancake pizza.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05'Time to add our final touches.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08'But before our creations get judged,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10'there's just one thing left to do.'
0:10:10 > 0:10:11It's the Blue Peter badge.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13OTHERS: Flip it! Flip it! Flip it!
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Three, two, one...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- You triple flipped it. - Well, that didn't go to plan.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29'So then, who has produced pancake perfection?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32'Jamie, with his pizza cake?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36'Barry and Mike, with their pancake/cupcake bites?
0:10:36 > 0:10:41'Or me and my pancake lollipop swirly...things?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42'Yeah, still working on a name.'
0:10:42 > 0:10:44So, for a winner...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I love the fact that this is completely out of the box.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50However, this is super-arty and creative. But, for me...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- ..this is my winner!- Well done!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56SO good.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You know what, last cake, always, sorry, I've just got to say...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Ah, there's one rule that we do have here at SORTED,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- and that's last one in the kitchen does the washing up.- See you, mate.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Go, go, go, go!
0:11:06 > 0:11:07That's what Radzi is like
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- when we go for lunch, isn't it?- It really is.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We always leave the restaurant
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- and he's still left eating. - He never washes up, either.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15How good were his lollipop pancakes though?
0:11:15 > 0:11:16I hope he saved me one.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Speaking of which, if you have a go at any of those pancake recipes...
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Send them to us - the pancakes, not the pictures.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Yes, we're calling them pancake selfies - "pelfies".
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- We might try and get that trending. No?- That's not going to happen.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29OK, fine. Have a look at this week's Big Badge Wall,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- where your pelfies could end up. - (Shut up.)
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- LAUGHING: - It's covered in all your glorious...
0:11:33 > 0:11:34I don't think that's going to take off.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Something I'd like to DRAW your attention to is this.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It's from Bryony from Cheshire.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42She was inspired by me going caving for cheese.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Yes, that is a thing that happened.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46So here I am in my beautiful cave,
0:11:46 > 0:11:47and you can see I have a little bag of cheese.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I think it's meant to be on my back,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51but it's kind of slipped down to my botty.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Everyone should carry cheese on their bot-bot.- Yes, thank you.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Have a look at this, cheese is definitely trending.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Thomas says, "For the love of cheese!",
0:11:57 > 0:11:58with a big headline there,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01and he's got Lindsey climbing up a massive block of cheese.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03And it says here, "I can name one thing cheesier than this,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05"and that's Barney's jokes." Well, just for you.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- How did Mr Cheese paint his wife? - How?- He Double Glossed 'Er.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11LAUGHTER
0:12:11 > 0:12:13He saved that one.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16And we have got this one here, this is Leah's,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19she's drawn the Lego Radzi Movie, inspired by Lego Batman.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- And the writing looks a bit like cheese.- It does.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Thank you so much for getting in touch.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Shall we text your cheese joke to Radz?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26He'll like that, we'll send it to him later.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Keep the post coming to the usual address, as you can see right there.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32We love receiving all of your fab letters and pictures.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Now, last week we revealed the nominees
0:12:34 > 0:12:35for the Best Book With Facts,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38and now it's time to see what you little bookworms think
0:12:38 > 0:12:40of the Best Story nominees.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47All over the country, the Blue Peter Book Awards judges have been
0:12:47 > 0:12:49busy reading the three nominees for Best Story.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54From little rabbits to magical myths and even time travel,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58they have read it all, and here is what they thought.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01First up - Time Travelling with a Hamster, by Ross Welford.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Al receives a mission to travel back to 1984 in a time machine
0:13:07 > 0:13:09to save his father's life, and he's
0:13:09 > 0:13:11taking his hamster with him.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15I would describe Time Travelling with a Hamster as funny,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17exciting and emotional.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19It's fun to read about time-travelling,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22because it tells you what can happen in the future
0:13:22 > 0:13:24and what happened in the past in more detail
0:13:24 > 0:13:25than just a history book.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30I think some bits could have been cut out to make it a bit better.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Very imaginative and clever.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I felt at some bits you could really feel what the character was feeling.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I recommend it to people who like adventures and people
0:13:41 > 0:13:44who like hamsters as well.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Next up is Lost Tales
0:13:46 > 0:13:48by Adam and Lisa Murphy.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51A collection of the most magical myths and legends
0:13:51 > 0:13:53you've NEVER heard of that will take your breath away.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Stories that are centuries old have been brought back to life
0:13:56 > 0:13:58through the magic of comic storytelling.
0:14:00 > 0:14:08I would describe it as adventurous, sad, thrilling and mysterious.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12I would recommend Lost Tales to people who are into
0:14:12 > 0:14:15comic strips and maybe myths and legends.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18The pictures in Lost Tales are detailed and help tell the story.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21The comic-strip style is hilarious.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26I like the stories, because every story has a moral in them.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I think it should win because it's very colourful
0:14:29 > 0:14:34and it has got stories from all over the world.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And finally, Podkin One-Ear, by Kieran Larwood,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39and illustrated by David Wyatt.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44A fantastic tale of how one little lost rabbit overcame
0:14:44 > 0:14:46the cruellest enemy to become the greatest warrior
0:14:46 > 0:14:48his land has ever known.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50My favourite book is Podkin One-Ear,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53because I like a good adventure in a story.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It has a very nice cover and it draws you in
0:14:56 > 0:14:57from the very first word.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It was really interesting, and it was different,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03because instead of the main characters being humans,
0:15:03 > 0:15:04they were rabbits.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I think Podkin One-Ear should win, because it's magical,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10it's got lots of different creatures,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and it's very different to all the other books.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18It made me feel intrigued to find out what was going to happen next.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's very inspirational and it shows you what you can do
0:15:21 > 0:15:22if you put your mind to it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24So, three great stories,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25but only one can
0:15:25 > 0:15:26live happily ever after
0:15:26 > 0:15:28with a Blue Peter Book Award.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Who will win? Find out next week.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Some amazing books there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Now, someone who is a legend when it comes to books - and Blue Peter,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40because she's got her very own gold badge - and she's going to be
0:15:40 > 0:15:43on the show right now, kind of, it's Horrid Henry author Francesca Simon!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45CHEERING
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Hi, Lindsey, hi, everyone!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Francesca, I am kind of hugging the TV screen,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52because you are half here, but thanks to Storm Doris,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54you couldn't quite get all the way here,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56so we've got you from your home, speaking to us now.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Now, you have written 96 Horrid Henry books,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02which is ridiculous, quite frankly.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Can I ask you which your favourite one is,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06or is that like choosing between children?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm shameless, I'm going to choose...
0:16:08 > 0:16:09LINDSEY GASPS
0:16:09 > 0:16:12..and I choose Horrid Henry Gets Rich Quick, which is when
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Horrid Henry sells Perfect Peter as a slave to Moody Margaret.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18And what are you up to at the moment, Francesca,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20are you writing any books?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Can we get a bit of a Blue Peter exclusive?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24You can get TWO Blue Peter exclusives.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I'm writing a book about some very wicked Vikings,
0:16:28 > 0:16:29called Hack and Whack,
0:16:29 > 0:16:34and I'm also writing an opera for the Royal Opera House
0:16:34 > 0:16:35for teens plus.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38All sounds amazing. If you need anyone in your opera, I'm available.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I look forward to hearing you sing.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I can't really sing. That was a joke, do not cast me.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Now, it's nearly the Blue Peter Book Awards, and World Book Day,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50of course, so what will you be doing to get involved?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Well, World Book Day is all about encouraging kids to read for fun,
0:16:54 > 0:16:59and everyone in the UK will be given a £1 book token
0:16:59 > 0:17:01so they can buy... Sorry, "buy",
0:17:01 > 0:17:03they can get a fantastic book for free of their own,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07including one of mine!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Yay, that's what we like to see! - Yay!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I wallpapered the house with this.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I bet, I've done the same with all of your books.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17So people can go and get a book,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and there's some amazing authors in there, there's David Walliams,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Dame Jacqueline Wilson - there's a bit of everyone, isn't there?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27It's a fantastic line-up and I am so thrilled to be
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- one of the ten authors. - Well, listen,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31thank you so much for being on Blue Peter.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Next time you're on, we will actually have you here in the studio
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and not on a television screen that I am hugging.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38But, Francesca Simon, everyone, isn't she brilliant?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40CHEERING
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Thank you so much.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44And you can just see her little dog Louis there,
0:17:44 > 0:17:45he was just saying hello.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- This is Louis, chewing away. - Hello, Louis!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Well, luckily, Francesca, you're not here,
0:17:50 > 0:17:54but some of your amazing super-fans are here to play our super-fan game.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Let's walk this way, it's the super-fans!
0:17:56 > 0:17:58WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Hello, super-fans, welcome to the show.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Before we go any further, let's introduce you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04We've got Josh and Hannah over this side,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- and you are brother and sister, aren't you?- LAUGHING:- Yeah!- Yeah.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Yeah! Good, I like that - "Yeah!"
0:18:09 > 0:18:11And we've got more brothers and sisters over here,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- we've got lovely Jess and Fin. Hello!- Hi.- Welcome, everybody.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Now, we're going to play a super-fan game.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18We're going to be testing your Horrid Henry knowledge.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22So, what is your fave book ever, Josh, Horrid Henry one?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- Henry Gets Rich Quick.- Like that one. What about you, Hannah?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Erm, the same, because he sells his brother.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29LINDSEY LAUGHS
0:18:29 > 0:18:31You looked very cheeky when you said that,
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- do you want to sell your brother?- No.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Good, that was the right answer on television.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Jess, what's your favourite Horrid Henry?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Erm, I like Horrid Henry Has Nits,
0:18:41 > 0:18:47because Horrid Henry always has nits and Peter never has nits.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50And then he puts them on his tissue and pours them over Peter's hair.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Ugh, that is horrid, I can see why he is called Horrid Henry.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55What about you, Fin, fave book?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I like the one where Henry goes camping.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I know, because you love going camping as well, don't you?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01So, let's play our game.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'm going to give you the first name of a Horrid Henry character,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07and you've got to finish it. I love how you are already on the buzzers.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09You guys are ready to go.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11So, for example, if I say "Horrid", you will say...
0:19:11 > 0:19:12ALL: Henry!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Exactly. Guys, audience, join in as well, please.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18OK, so let's play the Super-Fan Name Game.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Yes, Aerobic Al, correct.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- LAUGHING:- So at the end of that game, the scores are
0:20:24 > 0:20:27seven to the Green Team, two to the Reds.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Well done to our super-fans.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Good job. And if you want even more... Good job.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33..from Francesca Simon - I suppose you do -
0:20:33 > 0:20:37or you've got any burning Horrid Henry questions, fear not,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39she's going to be on the fan club later.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Well done, team. Barney...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Hands down one of my favourite games on Blue Peter EVER.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Hannah should totally be a new Blue Peter presenter, by the way.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Right, check out the Red Nose Day totaliser.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50We've been filling it with your jokes over the past few weeks.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53We can now announce our brand-new total. Let's get the sound effects.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54DRUM ROLL Let's get the drum roll,

0:21:01 > 0:21:02That was close.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05They did that right at our faces to have a little joke.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07So thank you very much for getting in touch,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- we've got to update that total, haven't we, Linds?- Yeah, we do.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13So the new total, we're going to put it up next week to 5,000.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- The question is, do you think we can do it?- Of course we can.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Have I got glitter everywhere in my hair?- You're OK.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Can we collect 5,000 funny jokes?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23There are two ways you can get involved. Barney...
0:21:23 > 0:21:25This is way number one.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27You can enter via the Comedy Classroom.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29If you'd like to write original jokes - that means
0:21:29 > 0:21:31you make them up - they could be judged by Miranda Hart
0:21:31 > 0:21:33and Richard Curtis, two legends of comedy,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and your joke could be read out on the Red Nose Day special in March.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37So get in touch, please. You have got until
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Tuesday, 28th February to get in touch,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41which isn't far away. You know you want to.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43OK, over to me for way number two.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47You can fill out one of these lovely little forms for the website.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49All you have to do is download one of these templates,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52fill it in with all of your favourite jokes,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54all three of them, next to our lovely faces.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And you can decorate it, get really creative.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Someone who has done just that is Alfie, and his joke was hilarious.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Alfie, over to you, my friend.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Why did Adele cross the road?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- We don't know. BOTH:- Why did Adele cross the road?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08To sing...
0:22:08 > 0:22:11# Hello from the other side... #
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Yeah, baby! Oh, and you get a dab at the end.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Dab, dabbing Adele.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17What does Merlyn think?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Let's have a listen to see what her joke is like.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22What do you call a fake noodle?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24An im-pasta.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Really good.- I like that one.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28That was a very Radzi joke, we like it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32I could listen to these all day. I think we've got one from Polly.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Why was the chef so relaxed?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Because he had plenty of thyme on his hands.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Oh, plenty of thyme, T-H-Y-M-E, not T-I-ME.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- It's a cooking thing. - It's a herb-ey joke.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45- It's very clever.- Like a herb joke.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Love the badges as well, well done on getting those, you absolute star.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Think we've gone a bit wild today. - Well, there's no script today.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Let us know what you're doing to fundraise
0:22:53 > 0:22:54for this year's Red Nose Day.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Remember, you have got until
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Wednesday, 22nd March to get your jokes to us,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02and then the next day is going to be our Red Nose Day spectacular.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Stop messing around.- Go on. - Let's walk this way. No, let's not.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07No, let's do Hacker's Nosey Adventure first.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Hacker's Nosey Adventure is a game online, it's a brilliant game.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Thousands of you have played it, it says here.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Go and check it out, impress your friends,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16have some fun etc, thank you.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17LINDSEY LAUGHS
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Your bit.- Oh, see, this is why we need a script.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Thomas, help me out here, dude!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26How do Nasa organise parties? They plan-et.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28See, it's a plan-et, like a planet...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30At least Thomas is holding the show together.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Thank you, Thomas.- Now we can go this way.- Shall we walk this way?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- All right.- Don't slip... At the start of the show we asked...
0:23:36 > 0:23:38BUMP Oh, hello, watch your step.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41..what your alliterative names would be.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42We've had loads sent in.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45The first one is from Tweety Pie Pink - great name.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46It says, "Mine would be Loud Lily.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51"I would call myself that name cos I shout a lot." Good.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Dog Runner Cool Dude - "I'd be Dramatic Dan,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56"because I enjoy doing drama."
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Nice.- Lovely.- Stringy Pineapple Pen - such a good name! -
0:23:59 > 0:24:01says, "Lucky Lucy,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05"because I got 100% in my maths test and I am top of the class."
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- I bet you are!- What are the rules with alliteration?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Can you have two words, or can you have, like, five words if you want?
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Why?- Because Shining Star here has got "Elegant, Enthusiastic Eliza".
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Ooh, that is lovely.- Three Es.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Thank you so much for getting in touch.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21it's our fave game, we play it every week.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24And the person to get it this week was Gold Jokey Primrose.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Well done to you, round of applause.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28There she was, hiding in my little cheese cave.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Congratulations, you have won a lifetime's supply of cheese
0:24:31 > 0:24:32- and a sports car. - That's not true.- OK.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- That's all we've got time for on today's show.- Isn't it?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- DOORBELL RINGS - Oh, hello.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Did you know that was going to happen?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Were you expecting someone, Barney(?)
0:24:39 > 0:24:41There's a gap there, that's a clue, isn't it?
0:24:41 > 0:24:42This is the Pop Star Pop-In.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I want to say, can you all give a huge round of applause to one of
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- my favourite stars at the moment? It's Daisy Clark.- Yay!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49CHEERING
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Daisy, come and take a seat. - Come on in.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Daisy, I first saw you years ago online,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55playing your guitar and singing.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- You have got a beautiful voice. - Oh, thank you.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58You are amazing playing the guitar.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And since then, it's gone from strength to strength, hasn't it?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Yeah, I uploaded a cover of Hopelessly Devoted To You
0:25:03 > 0:25:05from Grease, everyone was sharing it
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- and it went viral and now has ten million views.- Which is ridiculous.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09When you said everyone was sharing it,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11I didn't realise you meant actually everyone.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Yes, ten million, really, really popular, isn't it?
0:25:14 > 0:25:15You started just in your bedroom playing
0:25:15 > 0:25:17a couple of tracks and here you are, live on telly.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Yeah, I just videoed myself playing the guitar and now it's gone crazy.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21That's what it's all about.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24We've actually done a little bit of an interview you can
0:25:24 > 0:25:27see online, which is very funny - very funny - there's also
0:25:27 > 0:25:29a performance, a full performance of the song you're about to hear.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Would you do a little teaser for us? - Yes, of course.- Amazing.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36and we can tell you what's happening on next week's show.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Whilst Daisy gets ready, we should say, don't miss next week,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41because it's our World Book Day spectacular.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44We're very excited to celebrate, and we are going to be dressing up.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- You mean me, don't you?- Well, I am too, but yours is funnier.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Yeah, you get to decide what I dress up as. Take a look at your options.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I'm either going to be Dennis, the Boy in the Dress,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Fungus the Bogeyman or Where's Wally.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56You can vote for this.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's absolutely true. Make sure you're watching.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Now though, playing us out with her beautiful, melted chocolate voice...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24It's Daisy Clark. We'll see you next week.
0:26:24 > 0:26:30# Guess mine was not the first heart broken
0:26:32 > 0:26:37# My eyes not the first to cry
0:26:38 > 0:26:42# I'm not the first to know
0:26:42 > 0:26:46# There's just no getting over you
0:26:52 > 0:26:57# I know I'm just a fool who's willing
0:26:59 > 0:27:05# To sit around and wait for you
0:27:05 > 0:27:08# But, baby, can't you see
0:27:08 > 0:27:13# There's nothing else for me to do?
0:27:16 > 0:27:21# I'm hopelessly devoted to you
0:27:24 > 0:27:29# But now there's nowhere to hide
0:27:29 > 0:27:33# Since you pushed my love aside
0:27:33 > 0:27:36# I'm out of my head
0:27:36 > 0:27:40# Hopelessly devoted to you
0:27:43 > 0:27:48# Hopelessly devoted to you. #
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Absolutely beautiful.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
