7:29:18 > 7:29:25.
7:29:33 > 7:29:36Coming up on today's show, find out if this airplane wing,
7:29:36 > 7:29:38which is the same length as three double-decker buses,
7:29:38 > 7:29:41will make it through a tiny French village.
7:29:41 > 7:29:43And what do you get if you cross Sam and Mark,
7:29:43 > 7:29:46table tennis balls, plastic bottles and balloons?
7:29:46 > 7:29:47Plus it's competition time.
7:29:47 > 7:29:51What story would you tell if you only had 500 words?
7:29:51 > 7:29:53That's all coming up on today's live Blue Peter.
7:29:53 > 7:29:55Don't go anywhere!
7:30:10 > 7:30:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
7:30:13 > 7:30:16Hello! I do like a round of applause to start the show.
7:30:16 > 7:30:19You're watching Blue Peter. You know that, you pressed the button.
7:30:19 > 7:30:22It seems weird to fit all that into half an hour, but we will.
7:30:22 > 7:30:24- We've got a special screwdriver. - Blue Peter magic.
7:30:24 > 7:30:26We're live, as Barney said.
7:30:26 > 7:30:29Which means we want you to get in touch and join in.
7:30:29 > 7:30:31Later in the show, we're going to be talking
7:30:31 > 7:30:33about Radio 2's 500 WORDS competition.
7:30:33 > 7:30:36So today, we're thinking all about words, aren't we?
7:30:36 > 7:30:38- Yes, we are, Lindsey.- Yes! RADZI LAUGHS
7:30:38 > 7:30:41We want to know what is your favourite word...
7:30:41 > 7:30:43- BOTH:- And why. - Mine has to be boom.
7:30:43 > 7:30:46There's no better way to describe something awesome than boom.
7:30:46 > 7:30:49- You say it all the time. - Blancmange is a great word.
7:30:49 > 7:30:51It's quite French, as well, at the end there.
7:30:51 > 7:30:54- With the "ggg"!- Well done. - Thank you. I've been practising.
7:30:54 > 7:30:57What's your favourite word? Get in touch and tell us...
7:30:57 > 7:31:01We'll try and read out as many as we can at the end of the show.
7:31:01 > 7:31:04- That's right. So, why don't you pootle over to the website.- Pootle?
7:31:04 > 7:31:06- Do you actually say that word? - Yes, pootle.
7:31:06 > 7:31:08It means to go at a leisurely pace. It's my favourite word.
7:31:08 > 7:31:11- It's a good word. - Reminds me of my- nan. I like that.
7:31:11 > 7:31:13I'll do a leisurely stroll now, but it's not a pootle,
7:31:13 > 7:31:16it's more of a soar, which is what you're doing, flying above my head.
7:31:16 > 7:31:20I love anything and everything to do with planes and I've been
7:31:20 > 7:31:22lucky enough on Blue Peter to do some pretty incredible stuff.
7:31:22 > 7:31:25I've walked on them, I've actually flown planes,
7:31:25 > 7:31:28and, as you can see here, I was pretty excited about it.
7:31:33 > 7:31:34Aaargh!
7:31:41 > 7:31:44So imagine how excited I was when the Blue Peter team told me
7:31:44 > 7:31:47that the wings for the biggest passenger plane in the world
7:31:47 > 7:31:49are made right here in the UK.
7:31:49 > 7:31:52I just had to go and find out a little bit more about it.
7:31:52 > 7:31:56So, this is the start of what turned out to be a thousand-mile adventure.
7:32:01 > 7:32:05This is the extraordinary story of how an aeroplane is made.
7:32:05 > 7:32:07Its parts are made all over Europe.
7:32:07 > 7:32:09The tail section is made in Spain,
7:32:09 > 7:32:13the rear section is made in Germany, the wings are made in Great Britain
7:32:13 > 7:32:16and then it's all brought together and assembled in France.
7:32:16 > 7:32:18Now that sounds quite complicated.
7:32:18 > 7:32:22Well, it is complicated, because this is no ordinary plane.
7:32:22 > 7:32:24This thing is big.
7:32:24 > 7:32:26And I mean big!
7:32:28 > 7:32:30Big! Big!
7:32:30 > 7:32:31Big!
7:32:31 > 7:32:33Big.
7:32:33 > 7:32:38Say hello to the Airbus A380.
7:32:38 > 7:32:41This is the largest passenger plane in the world.
7:32:41 > 7:32:44Its tail fin is as high as an eight storey building.
7:32:44 > 7:32:47It's as long as two blue whales.
7:32:47 > 7:32:53It can carry 850 passengers and has a take-off weight of 560 tonnes.
7:32:53 > 7:32:56That's the same as 400 family cars.
7:32:56 > 7:32:58How this thing gets off the ground in the first place is a miracle
7:32:58 > 7:33:02of engineering, but it's largely to do with those mammoth wings.
7:33:02 > 7:33:03Those wings are so big that,
7:33:03 > 7:33:06in all this time of me telling you these amazing facts,
7:33:06 > 7:33:09I haven't even been able to get from one side to the other.
7:33:09 > 7:33:11It's huge.
7:33:12 > 7:33:15But before the wings can make this plane take flight,
7:33:15 > 7:33:18each one needs to take a thousand-mile trip
7:33:18 > 7:33:22from the wing factory in Wales to the final assembly line in France.
7:33:22 > 7:33:26It's a monumentally complicated and ambitious journey.
7:33:26 > 7:33:30So I thought I'd volunteer to help. Bring it on!
7:33:30 > 7:33:32This is where the journey begins.
7:33:32 > 7:33:34Well, actually, that's just a stream. Sorry.
7:33:34 > 7:33:39This is where the journey begins - the wing factory in North Wales.
7:33:39 > 7:33:43This place is the size of 12 football pitches
7:33:43 > 7:33:45and it's so easy to get lost in here.
7:33:45 > 7:33:48I'll be all right, though. I'll just WING it!
7:33:48 > 7:33:52'One wing takes 87 days to travel round the factory,
7:33:52 > 7:33:55'transformed from raw materials until, finally,
7:33:55 > 7:33:59'it's all wrapped up, literally.' Can you imagine trying to wrap that?
7:33:59 > 7:34:01You know how difficult birthday presents can be.
7:34:01 > 7:34:04Luckily, you don't have to. It's been done by professionals.
7:34:04 > 7:34:05As soon as that goes out of that door,
7:34:05 > 7:34:08the journey starts to get very exciting.
7:34:08 > 7:34:13But how do you move a wing the size of three double-decker buses?
7:34:13 > 7:34:16Easy! You use one of these - a mega truck!
7:34:16 > 7:34:21With a staggering 96 wheels, this is the Big Daddy of gadgets
7:34:21 > 7:34:23and they've given me the controller.
7:34:23 > 7:34:26HE LAUGHS, TRUCK BEEPS
7:34:26 > 7:34:30Ooh, there's your big... This is brilliant.
7:34:33 > 7:34:37- Not too bad, that, for first go. - Right, let's get a wing on it, yeah?
7:34:38 > 7:34:42So, now the low loader is in place, what they've got to do is use
7:34:42 > 7:34:46hydraulics to push it up and lift this entire thing off the ground.
7:34:46 > 7:34:48That is incredibly heavy.
7:34:48 > 7:34:51'All that's left to do is secure the wing...
7:34:51 > 7:34:53'and we're ready for take-off.'
7:34:53 > 7:34:55I love my job.
7:34:55 > 7:34:58MUSIC: "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss
7:35:15 > 7:35:18This thing is a monster.
7:35:18 > 7:35:21This wing is now going to make its journey down this road
7:35:21 > 7:35:23towards a barge that's waiting on some water.
7:35:25 > 7:35:27The next stage of the journey begins.
7:35:27 > 7:35:29'And the mega truck is so clever,
7:35:29 > 7:35:30'it's now steering itself,
7:35:30 > 7:35:33'following radio signals transmitted from the road
7:35:33 > 7:35:35'to keep all those wheels on the straight and narrow.
7:35:35 > 7:35:38'Or not so straight and very narrow.'
7:35:38 > 7:35:41It's got to make it round this corner on the bridge.
7:35:41 > 7:35:43Just watch how close it gets to the curb here.
7:35:48 > 7:35:51'With inches to spare, we've made it to the river.'
7:35:53 > 7:35:54Job done.
7:35:54 > 7:35:56Ha! Who am I kidding?
7:35:59 > 7:36:02It's another day and it's another bizarre image.
7:36:02 > 7:36:05Look at that! A massive wing on a boat.
7:36:05 > 7:36:07Now the wing will make its next part of its journey
7:36:07 > 7:36:10down the river and hopefully under some bridges.
7:36:10 > 7:36:12So, the captain has got to judge it just right, because, if the
7:36:12 > 7:36:17water level is too high, that wing will not fit under those bridges.
7:36:17 > 7:36:18That could be a problem.
7:36:18 > 7:36:20If we're quick enough, we can get to that first bridge
7:36:20 > 7:36:22and see if it fits. Come on.
7:36:27 > 7:36:30You can see how close it is from the bottom of the bridge
7:36:30 > 7:36:32and the top of the boat.
7:36:32 > 7:36:34Whoa, that is so close!
7:36:34 > 7:36:37I'm pretty sure this next bridge is actually a lot lower.
7:36:37 > 7:36:39It doesn't look like that's going to fit, from here.
7:36:41 > 7:36:42It is so, so close.
7:36:43 > 7:36:47'This amazing wing has already had quite a journey down road
7:36:47 > 7:36:50'and river, over and under bridges and now it powers on towards
7:36:50 > 7:36:53'the docks, to be shipped to another country.'
7:36:54 > 7:36:57Despite all it's been through so far,
7:36:57 > 7:36:59this has been the easy part of the journey.
7:36:59 > 7:37:02I cannot wait to see what happens when it gets to France.
7:37:02 > 7:37:04I'll see you there.
7:37:06 > 7:37:10That is going to be amazing, and part two is coming up later in the show.
7:37:10 > 7:37:11Now, are you a budding JK Rowling,
7:37:11 > 7:37:14or do you aspire to write as well as Anthony Horowitz?
7:37:14 > 7:37:16If so, listen up,
7:37:16 > 7:37:18because, this week, the 500 WORDS competition was launched,
7:37:18 > 7:37:21and Barney went to London to find out a little bit more.
7:37:23 > 7:37:25It's early morning in the capital city.
7:37:25 > 7:37:28Everything is quiet, peaceful, serene.
7:37:30 > 7:37:32# Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday... #
7:37:32 > 7:37:36That is, until DJ Chris Evans wakes up the nation
7:37:36 > 7:37:38with the UK's favourite breakfast show.
7:37:38 > 7:37:41# The Chris Evans Breakfast Show! #
7:37:41 > 7:37:44I'm at the home of Radio 2 and, in a few minutes,
7:37:44 > 7:37:47I'm going to be live on air to talk about 500 WORDS 2014,
7:37:47 > 7:37:50the short story writing competition which gives you the chance
7:37:50 > 7:37:52to let your imagination run wild.
7:37:54 > 7:37:56Last year, I had the pleasure of reading out
7:37:56 > 7:38:00one of the winning stories at the 500 WORDS final in Hay-on-Wye.
7:38:00 > 7:38:05"It was by chance that I met B, or 1069B, to give him his real name."
7:38:05 > 7:38:08It really was a fantastic experience and so when Chris asked me
7:38:08 > 7:38:11to get involved again this year, I jumped at the chance.
7:38:11 > 7:38:13On the way on the show, Barney from Blue Peter
7:38:13 > 7:38:15talking about 500 WORDS,
7:38:15 > 7:38:19along with head judge Richard Hammond.
7:38:19 > 7:38:21So, we're about to go live on BBC Radio 2.
7:38:21 > 7:38:23This show has over ten million listeners.
7:38:23 > 7:38:26Let's go and spread the word. Well, all 500 of them.
7:38:26 > 7:38:29Barney, tell us about your experience there last year.
7:38:29 > 7:38:31In many ways, you saved the day, didn't you?
7:38:31 > 7:38:33It was kind of last minute last year.
7:38:33 > 7:38:35Helen Skelton was supposed to be reading the story that
7:38:35 > 7:38:38Olivia Hunt wrote, and she got a bit ill, so, the night before,
7:38:38 > 7:38:39I get a phone call.
7:38:39 > 7:38:41So, when I read the actual story on the day,
7:38:41 > 7:38:43it was the first time I'd read it through.
7:38:43 > 7:38:46You asked Olivia what she thought about me reading the story.
7:38:46 > 7:38:49She said, "Well, it's OK, but he's not a girl."
7:38:49 > 7:38:51A good book has to take you somewhere, doesn't it?
7:38:51 > 7:38:55Yeah, a good book has to take you somewhere. There should be a journey.
7:38:55 > 7:38:58I think the fact that it's 500 words is one of the keys that helps
7:38:58 > 7:39:01the children do that, because you've got to get on with it.
7:39:01 > 7:39:04And also what's great about 500 words is it's not too daunting,
7:39:04 > 7:39:05cos it's not too many.
7:39:05 > 7:39:07The website is up and running.
7:39:07 > 7:39:09This year, it's got a new little character, Alphabot.
7:39:09 > 7:39:12- Brilliant.- Alphabot can say hello to us.
7:39:12 > 7:39:16- 'Happy Monday!'- That's Alphabot for you! How good is he?
7:39:16 > 7:39:18We had 90,000 entrants last year
7:39:18 > 7:39:20and they go through two phases.
7:39:20 > 7:39:24They get whittled down to the top 50 and then we, the judges,
7:39:24 > 7:39:25sit down, read all 50
7:39:25 > 7:39:29and sit round a table for as long as it takes to put across,
7:39:29 > 7:39:32"Right, I think this one should go forward," or, "I think this one."
7:39:32 > 7:39:35And they are all amazing. It is a pleasure.
7:39:35 > 7:39:36This isn't homework.
7:39:36 > 7:39:40You're sitting down to read 50 exciting, fabulous stories.
7:39:40 > 7:39:42- Headline time, please. - 500 words is the limit.
7:39:42 > 7:39:45There are two categories - nine and under, or ten to thirteen.
7:39:45 > 7:39:47And really two big rules to think about.
7:39:47 > 7:39:51Your story must be completely made-up and no more than 500 words.
7:39:51 > 7:39:53But, believe me, that is enough.
7:39:53 > 7:39:55In those 500 words, you can take us to space,
7:39:55 > 7:39:57it might be cowboys, heroes, criminals, villains.
7:39:57 > 7:40:01It's your imagination. It's entirely up to you. Be in charge.
7:40:01 > 7:40:04'I've loved every minute of being on the Breakfast Show,
7:40:04 > 7:40:07'but it's only fair that the person who has the last word
7:40:07 > 7:40:10'on 500 WORDS is Mr Chris Evans.'
7:40:10 > 7:40:11Blue Peter viewers!
7:40:11 > 7:40:15500 WORDS 2014 needs you.
7:40:15 > 7:40:19Go to the Radio 2 website at bbc.co.uk/radio2
7:40:19 > 7:40:22and 500 WORDS to find out more now.
7:40:23 > 7:40:27Now if you are thinking of entering, the details are also on
7:40:27 > 7:40:32our website, plus we've got somebody who I think might just inspire you.
7:40:32 > 7:40:34That's right. She's the author of the Darcy Burdock series.
7:40:34 > 7:40:37She's toured all over the world telling her stories and,
7:40:37 > 7:40:40on top of that, she even illustrates all of her own work. She's a genius.
7:40:40 > 7:40:43- Incredible!- Please welcome to the studio the amazing Laura Dockrill.
7:40:43 > 7:40:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
7:40:45 > 7:40:47- Hello!- Welcome, Laura.
7:40:47 > 7:40:49- Step on up.- Hello. How are you doing?
7:40:49 > 7:40:52- Very well, now that you're here, Laura.- Oh, thanks!
7:40:52 > 7:40:55Now, Laura, as a writer, what advice would you have
7:40:55 > 7:40:58for any viewers hoping to write a 500 word story?
7:40:58 > 7:41:00What I would say, use your imagination,
7:41:00 > 7:41:01trust your instinct and be brave.
7:41:01 > 7:41:03I love when people have pushed themselves
7:41:03 > 7:41:04in the stories they write.
7:41:04 > 7:41:07When you're reading a story, what makes you excited?
7:41:07 > 7:41:09For me, it's all about character.
7:41:09 > 7:41:11I think if somebody's pushed themselves,
7:41:11 > 7:41:14found that good character, that can guide a whole story.
7:41:14 > 7:41:16- Humour, as well, sometimes. - Humour is a winner, always.
7:41:16 > 7:41:18I feel you can't go wrong with humour.
7:41:18 > 7:41:20- If you've made someone smile. - And, as a special treat,
7:41:20 > 7:41:23you've written your very own 500 word story
7:41:23 > 7:41:25and you're going to perform a bit of it for us in the studio.
7:41:25 > 7:41:29- So, I'll let you go and get ready. - OK, thank you very much.
7:41:29 > 7:41:32And whilst Laura gets ready, this is exclusively for you at home -
7:41:32 > 7:41:35The Smile That Was Left At Home is being written, performed
7:41:35 > 7:41:38and beautifully illustrated by Laura Dockrill.
7:41:38 > 7:41:41Joe had left his smile at home.
7:41:41 > 7:41:44He was only out with Dad, so he wouldn't need it.
7:41:44 > 7:41:49He put it underneath his favourite comedian Ali-Greater's joke book.
7:41:49 > 7:41:50It would be safe there.
7:41:50 > 7:41:52Dad sighed, disappointed.
7:41:52 > 7:41:55"I made sure you inherited my dazzling smile
7:41:55 > 7:41:58"and what do you do with it? Leave it at home!
7:41:58 > 7:42:01"You never know when you might need a smile
7:42:01 > 7:42:02"and we're at the zoo today."
7:42:02 > 7:42:05Of course! How could Joe have forgotten?
7:42:05 > 7:42:08He'd been so wrapped up in the Ali-Greater book
7:42:08 > 7:42:10that it had slipped his mind.
7:42:10 > 7:42:13What a stupid day to leave his smile at home!
7:42:13 > 7:42:15There was so much to smile at.
7:42:15 > 7:42:16Penguins waddling,
7:42:16 > 7:42:20meerkats standing upright like electrified teddy bears,
7:42:20 > 7:42:24pigs snuffling, monkeys pulling faces.
7:42:24 > 7:42:26They reached the alligators,
7:42:26 > 7:42:28when Joe heard a voice he recognised.
7:42:28 > 7:42:31"Isn't that...?" Dad started to say.
7:42:31 > 7:42:36"Ali-Greater!" Joe squealed. He was right there, in the zoo,
7:42:36 > 7:42:39doing some filming for his TV show.
7:42:39 > 7:42:44He was dressed as an alligator and was being hysterical, as always.
7:42:44 > 7:42:49"I don't believe it!" Joe gawped, "He's my favourite!"
7:42:49 > 7:42:52"Go over," Dad nudged, "Get an autograph."
7:42:52 > 7:42:54"I'm so excited!" Joe flapped over
7:42:54 > 7:42:56with Dad following, all jumpy behind.
7:42:56 > 7:42:59"Stand back, kid! We're filming!"
7:42:59 > 7:43:02grunted a bossy man with a clipboard.
7:43:02 > 7:43:03Ali-Greater smiled.
7:43:03 > 7:43:06He really was a nice man.
7:43:06 > 7:43:09"I'm your biggest fan!" Joe gushed, "I know all your jokes!
7:43:09 > 7:43:11"I read your book every night!"
7:43:11 > 7:43:13Ali-Greater laughed. "Awesome.
7:43:13 > 7:43:15"Why don't you jump in a scene with me?
7:43:15 > 7:43:19"I'm filming something for my show, be great to get you in."
7:43:19 > 7:43:22The bossy man with the clipboard didn't seem too happy,
7:43:22 > 7:43:24but Dad seemed proud.
7:43:24 > 7:43:28"I'll say a few jokes and you laugh, cool?"
7:43:28 > 7:43:31Not cool. Not cool at all.
7:43:31 > 7:43:34Joe began to sweat. Dad gulped.
7:43:34 > 7:43:38They both knew that Joe had left his smile at home.
7:43:38 > 7:43:41APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
7:43:41 > 7:43:42Laura, thank you so much.
7:43:42 > 7:43:45- That was lovely.- Thank you.
7:43:45 > 7:43:47Now, for those of you at home, you may have noticed,
7:43:47 > 7:43:50that was only 289 words, not the full 500.
7:43:50 > 7:43:52So, if you do want to find out how that story ends,
7:43:52 > 7:43:54just jump onto our website...
7:43:56 > 7:43:59Plus you can find out how to enter the competition yourselves.
7:43:59 > 7:44:01Barney, why so sad?
7:44:01 > 7:44:04Sorry, Radzi, I left my smile at home.
7:44:04 > 7:44:07I'm only kidding. Come back! I've got a cracker, watch this...
7:44:07 > 7:44:10Let's talk about what happened earlier, shall we?
7:44:10 > 7:44:12We were following the story of a massive aeroplane wing
7:44:12 > 7:44:14as it made its way to France.
7:44:14 > 7:44:15The last time you saw it, it was on a boat,
7:44:15 > 7:44:17and, since then, it's arrived at France.
7:44:17 > 7:44:19So, things are about to get tricky.
7:44:19 > 7:44:22Will the massive wing make it through le petit village?
7:44:22 > 7:44:25Or will it end up hitting the maisons? That's French for houses.
7:44:25 > 7:44:27It's about to get really exciting.
7:44:27 > 7:44:30And you get to see some more of my French skill. Voila.
7:44:36 > 7:44:40Bonjour. Foufe de la poupe de champignon de slippy slipper.
7:44:40 > 7:44:41I don't speak French.
7:44:41 > 7:44:44But I am in France, in a lovely little village called Levignac.
7:44:44 > 7:44:47Lots of history here, beautiful ornate buildings.
7:44:47 > 7:44:50But it is a village, which means it's quite small.
7:44:50 > 7:44:53And that could be a problem.
7:44:53 > 7:44:55Because this very narrow street behind me
7:44:55 > 7:44:59is the only street they can use to transport the massive parts
7:44:59 > 7:45:02that make the biggest passenger aeroplane in the world.
7:45:04 > 7:45:09This double-decker plane is truly massive. I've been following
7:45:09 > 7:45:12the extraordinary journey of its mighty wings.
7:45:12 > 7:45:15The last time I saw one was in North Wales,
7:45:15 > 7:45:18and, from there, a ferry carries the wings to the south of France.
7:45:18 > 7:45:22But to get to the factory, the only option is to go by road.
7:45:24 > 7:45:27Which is why it's got to come through here.
7:45:27 > 7:45:30And I don't think it's going to fit!
7:45:32 > 7:45:34'To cause the least disruption to the locals,
7:45:34 > 7:45:37'the convoy must come through here at night,
7:45:37 > 7:45:40'which gives me time to see a finished A380 up close
7:45:40 > 7:45:43'with chief test pilot Peter Chandler.'
7:45:43 > 7:45:45I think the first thing you notice is the staircase, isn't it?
7:45:45 > 7:45:48- It's such a huge plane. It has an upstairs, as well.- That's right.
7:45:48 > 7:45:51That's the unique thing about this aeroplane is that it has
7:45:51 > 7:45:53a full double-deck, so there's a main passenger deck here
7:45:53 > 7:45:56and there's another full passenger deck upstairs.
7:45:56 > 7:45:58So, yes, we have a big staircase there.
7:45:58 > 7:46:00The scale of this thing is just incredible.
7:46:00 > 7:46:01This is all very impressive
7:46:01 > 7:46:04and it's the bit we've come to see but, more importantly,
7:46:04 > 7:46:06the bit you get to play with, the cockpit.
7:46:06 > 7:46:07Do you want to go there now?
7:46:07 > 7:46:10I would love to. It's not even my birthday.
7:46:13 > 7:46:15In the end, you've got all the gadgets that you need
7:46:15 > 7:46:17when you're in the air and that's all fine
7:46:17 > 7:46:20and we like learning about it, but the key question is,
7:46:20 > 7:46:22how fast does it go?
7:46:22 > 7:46:25Around 600mph is the speed over the ground.
7:46:25 > 7:46:28And, of course, in testing, although that's the normal cruising speed,
7:46:28 > 7:46:31we have to take it significantly faster than that.
7:46:31 > 7:46:34'This is so cool. And it's about to get cooler.'
7:46:34 > 7:46:35There you go.
7:46:35 > 7:46:38Always wanted to do this. Thank you, Peter.
7:46:38 > 7:46:41Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the captain speaking.
7:46:41 > 7:46:42I hope you enjoy your flight today.
7:46:42 > 7:46:45I've never flown one of these before, but it should be OK.
7:46:45 > 7:46:47I'm just going to get it started.
7:46:47 > 7:46:51Get the keys out of the glove box and, yeah, we'll be on our way.
7:46:51 > 7:46:55Sit back and relax and enjoy the flight. OK. Bye.
7:46:55 > 7:46:59Excellent, right, um... How do we start it?
7:46:59 > 7:47:02'But before you can fly a plane, you have to build a plane,
7:47:02 > 7:47:04'and, for that, you need parts.'
7:47:04 > 7:47:08So, the wing has travelled 1,000 miles by road, river and sea
7:47:08 > 7:47:10and has finally arrived here in France,
7:47:10 > 7:47:12ready for the final leg of its journey.
7:47:12 > 7:47:13If you look in the distance,
7:47:13 > 7:47:15it's been joined by other parts of the plane.
7:47:15 > 7:47:17It's got to be one of the most bonkers plane jigsaws
7:47:17 > 7:47:20I've ever seen. This all goes together to make one whole plane.
7:47:20 > 7:47:22Have you ever seen anything like it?
7:47:22 > 7:47:24They'll need a lot of glue, I know that.
7:47:24 > 7:47:27I've done these myself. But smaller versions, obviously.
7:47:27 > 7:47:29I want one.
7:47:30 > 7:47:33Apparently, there are some really big plane parts just here,
7:47:33 > 7:47:36but, um, I can't find them. I guess that was a tall "tail".
7:47:38 > 7:47:41So, this is it, the convoy is leaving.
7:47:41 > 7:47:43All these parts of the plane are heading to the factory
7:47:43 > 7:47:45to be assembled together. But don't forget,
7:47:45 > 7:47:46they've all got to get through
7:47:46 > 7:47:49that really tiny village that we saw. And look at the size of it!
7:47:49 > 7:47:52It doesn't even seem possible that that will happen.
7:47:52 > 7:47:54So what we will try and do now is get back in the car,
7:47:54 > 7:47:56get ahead of them all and see if the village
7:47:56 > 7:47:58is still standing by the time they get through it. Come on.
7:48:04 > 7:48:07So it's just gone past midnight here in Levignac.
7:48:07 > 7:48:10What would normally be a very quiet and dimly lit street
7:48:10 > 7:48:12is buzzing with flashing lights.
7:48:12 > 7:48:14I am so excited, and so is the rest of the village.
7:48:14 > 7:48:16Lots of people have turned out to see this happen.
7:48:16 > 7:48:19Especially because of the bit it's about to go through.
7:48:19 > 7:48:20You can see how tight this space is.
7:48:20 > 7:48:24Now, this wing costs a fortune, and where it's about to go right now
7:48:24 > 7:48:26is a really tight part of the village.
7:48:26 > 7:48:28Look how close that is!
7:48:28 > 7:48:31I can't believe what I'm seeing. You'd never see an aeroplane
7:48:31 > 7:48:33flying this low through a village, that's for sure.
7:48:33 > 7:48:38What an incredible thing to see. That's just the tail of a huge plane
7:48:38 > 7:48:42being driven through the centre of a village after midnight.
7:48:42 > 7:48:45Do you know what I think would be quite funny, is the people
7:48:45 > 7:48:47that are up in these houses here on the first floor,
7:48:47 > 7:48:50just having a cup of tea and a plane just goes past the window.
7:48:50 > 7:48:53I mean, look at the size of that thing! Just look at that!
7:48:54 > 7:48:58It's the only journey this aircraft can do to get to the factories.
7:48:58 > 7:49:00They took that in mind when designing it,
7:49:00 > 7:49:02so that it did actually fit through the village.
7:49:02 > 7:49:04That's engineering for you.
7:49:04 > 7:49:07Look how close that is there to the roof as it goes through.
7:49:07 > 7:49:10Any tighter or any closer to that roof
7:49:10 > 7:49:12and somebody would wake up with no roof on their house.
7:49:17 > 7:49:20So there it is - the final piece in this rather incredible jigsaw -
7:49:20 > 7:49:22the last part of the plane
7:49:22 > 7:49:24on its way to the factory before it gets assembled.
7:49:24 > 7:49:26So it's the last stage of its journey down here
7:49:26 > 7:49:30before it begins thousands more up there. Incredible.
7:49:33 > 7:49:36Ooh, just! Just got through! I'm glad it did. Now...
7:49:36 > 7:49:40time for something very different, because Sam and Mark are here!
7:49:40 > 7:49:44- CHEERING Hello, Sam and Mark.- Hello!
7:49:44 > 7:49:47- Thanks for joining us on Blue Peter today.- Thanks for having us.
7:49:47 > 7:49:49- You're going to help me make a mini game, aren't you?- Yes.
7:49:49 > 7:49:52A very exciting one. But to help it make a bit more sense,
7:49:52 > 7:49:54let's have a look at this first.
7:49:54 > 7:49:58Let's do this! It's time to wind up your dad. Get winding, go on!
7:49:59 > 7:50:02Audience, where should we take him?
7:50:02 > 7:50:04AUDIENCE: To the top!
7:50:04 > 7:50:08What are you waiting for? In three, two, one, release the Dad!
7:50:08 > 7:50:10CHEERING
7:50:15 > 7:50:18- APPLAUSE Yes!- Throw him down! Throw him down!
7:50:18 > 7:50:21- Outrageous! Dad pin bowling. - Yeah!- Yes!- Tell me more.
7:50:21 > 7:50:26Um, we stick a dad in, um, basically a massive leotard,
7:50:26 > 7:50:30stick him in a bowling ball and put him right down the middle.
7:50:30 > 7:50:33- For revenge?- Yes. At the top of every show,
7:50:33 > 7:50:36we get a kid out of the audience whose parents have embarrassed them
7:50:36 > 7:50:38- and that's the way of them getting their own back.- OK.
7:50:38 > 7:50:41- There's Mum pin bowling too. - Barney Harwood pin bowling?
7:50:41 > 7:50:44- We could do!- That would be fun. - I'd love to see that.
7:50:44 > 7:50:46- I'd love to see that! - Anyway, let's get on with this.
7:50:46 > 7:50:48We'll show you how to make a mini version of the game.
7:50:48 > 7:50:51So, don't be worried, you don't need a dad or a mum or anything.
7:50:51 > 7:50:54You just need ping-pong balls, or table tennis balls.
7:50:54 > 7:50:56You need, what are they? Tennis balls, juggling balls,
7:50:56 > 7:50:59you need a pair of scissors, some food colouring...
7:50:59 > 7:51:02- One juggling ball! - ..a plastic bottle and some scissors.
7:51:02 > 7:51:04- I think that's everything. Shall we get started?- Let's do it.
7:51:04 > 7:51:07The first thing you need to do is get your bottle, undo the lid,
7:51:07 > 7:51:12like so, and then pour in and fill it up with about...
7:51:12 > 7:51:15Oh, dear, I've got it all over the table. ..about a third of water.
7:51:15 > 7:51:18- So exciting! I've never done a make. - Have you not?
7:51:18 > 7:51:20- This is big-time, man. - It's a good one.
7:51:20 > 7:51:22- What are you smelling? - Lime was in that.- Really?
7:51:22 > 7:51:25Remember, all the details are on the website...
7:51:27 > 7:51:31Now, I'm going to funk mine up a bit with a tiny bit of food colouring.
7:51:31 > 7:51:33- Somewhere there? - Here we go.- Thank you.
7:51:33 > 7:51:35And you just need a few drops of this
7:51:35 > 7:51:37and it just makes it look a bit individual.
7:51:37 > 7:51:40- Like that. Would you like some? - Yeah!- There you go.
7:51:40 > 7:51:43And then you need to put your lid on nice and tightly, like so,
7:51:43 > 7:51:47give it a little shake and you've got the beginning of your skittle there.
7:51:47 > 7:51:51It's looking nice and green. Now, to make it look more skittle like,
7:51:51 > 7:51:52you need to get the top on it.
7:51:52 > 7:51:55So I'm going to grab the ping-pong ball and a balloon.
7:51:55 > 7:51:57- Could you pass the balloon?- Yeah.
7:51:57 > 7:52:00And you might need to help me with this, because it's a bit tricky.
7:52:00 > 7:52:03A Blue Peter top tip is just cut the end of the balloon, like so,
7:52:03 > 7:52:08- because that makes it a bit easier to get that table tennis ball in.- OK.
7:52:08 > 7:52:11- And then, here we go. Give us a hand.- Of course.
7:52:11 > 7:52:12Can you help me get that in there?
7:52:12 > 7:52:14- I'll do more on my own, shall I? - It's not easy.
7:52:14 > 7:52:18- Oh, there we go. Like a pro. - Almost!- Almost done it.
7:52:18 > 7:52:22- Didn't want to do it...- And then, the next thing you need to do is just
7:52:22 > 7:52:26slot that on the top of the water bottle, like so. There you go.
7:52:26 > 7:52:29- It's starting to look more skittle like.- I'm a lefty.
7:52:29 > 7:52:32- What have you done? - Where are the left-handed scissors?
7:52:32 > 7:52:34Get someone's help if it's difficult.
7:52:34 > 7:52:37The next thing you need to do is decorate your skittle.
7:52:37 > 7:52:39I might have some masking tape for that.
7:52:39 > 7:52:41You can paint it, put glitter on it, whatever you want.
7:52:41 > 7:52:45While I'm doing this, tell us what wind ups we can expect.
7:52:45 > 7:52:47- You're struggling that?- A nightmare. - LAUGHTER
7:52:47 > 7:52:49An absolute nightmare. It's harder than it looks.
7:52:49 > 7:52:51Get an adult to help you. Don't let Sam do it!
7:52:51 > 7:52:56- On tomorrow night's show... - Yeah? 6pm!- Yes, 6pm.- CBBC.- CBBC.
7:52:56 > 7:52:59- We've got Union J helping us with a wind-up, which is great.- Oh, yeah?
7:52:59 > 7:53:02- Yeah!- They came along to a hidden camera shoot.- They did, they did!
7:53:02 > 7:53:04- And they were fantastic.- Were they?
7:53:04 > 7:53:07Speaking, as well, of people you've had on, Barney Harwood, I believe.
7:53:07 > 7:53:09- The legend! - Yes, the legend that is.
7:53:09 > 7:53:11He's coming up in a few weeks, actually. We've got...
7:53:11 > 7:53:15There's a girl who comes on the show who's a massive fan of Blue Peter
7:53:15 > 7:53:17and a massive fan of Barney. So it was great.
7:53:17 > 7:53:19We got Barney disguised as a clown...
7:53:19 > 7:53:22- Why not?- ..put him in a line-up of other clowns.- Why not? Yeah!
7:53:22 > 7:53:24She had to guess which one was Barney.
7:53:24 > 7:53:27We won't say if she gets it right, but she gets a really good prize.
7:53:27 > 7:53:30- On February 21st, that episode, I think.- I'm glad you know that.
7:53:30 > 7:53:32- That's impressive! - That's good knowledge there.
7:53:32 > 7:53:34You should be working on the show, not us!
7:53:34 > 7:53:38- What is that?- It's starting to look like a skittle now. I might just...
7:53:38 > 7:53:41- Oh, dear. That's a mess, guys! - I'm having a nightmare here!
7:53:41 > 7:53:44An absolute mess. You're worse than Jedward!
7:53:44 > 7:53:48- Whoa!- Whoa!- Calm down right now! - LAUGHTER
7:53:48 > 7:53:51- Shall we have a go at playing with these?- Yes!- Everyone grab a ball.- OK.
7:53:51 > 7:53:54I'll take the juggling ball. It looks like it'll work the best.
7:53:54 > 7:53:57And then bring your skittles down. You're still decorating.
7:53:57 > 7:54:00- It looks lovely.- Thanks. - You've done a great job.
7:54:00 > 7:54:02Get it down here with the rest of them.
7:54:02 > 7:54:04- We've set up a little bowling alley there.- I like it!
7:54:04 > 7:54:07- And then, if you come back here with me, we'll all have a go.- OK.
7:54:07 > 7:54:12- Are you guys ready?- Ladies first. - OK. Oh, no, I don't want to miss.
7:54:12 > 7:54:14- Ooh!- Oh! Harder than it looks.- Aargh!
7:54:14 > 7:54:17Yes! Two.
7:54:17 > 7:54:21- Brilliant.- You've knocked hair off the cameramen!- Sorry.
7:54:21 > 7:54:24Guys, thank you so much for coming in today. Remember, CBBC,
7:54:24 > 7:54:286pm every Friday if you want to watch these two winding everyone up.
7:54:28 > 7:54:31- It's going to be good, isn't it? - I hope so!- Yeah!
7:54:31 > 7:54:33Barney and Radzi, over to you.
7:54:33 > 7:54:36Thanks, guys. We were BOWLED over by that.
7:54:36 > 7:54:41I knew you'd crumble on that one, Radzi. Check out our big badge wall.
7:54:41 > 7:54:43It's a big badge and it's a wall. That's why we call it that.
7:54:43 > 7:54:45On last week's show, we had the chilli challenge.
7:54:45 > 7:54:47As you can see, Sophie has drawn a picture of myself
7:54:47 > 7:54:50- and Shirley Bassey here. - LAUGHTER
7:54:50 > 7:54:52It was an amazing challenge, it really was, and we both ended up
7:54:52 > 7:54:54with serious tummy ache. Don't try that at home.
7:54:54 > 7:54:57- But great fun and thank you for your picture.- Do not try that at home!
7:54:57 > 7:54:59Now, Lindsey spoke about them already,
