:00:16. > :00:21.could imagine, because we are coming to you from a theme park. At
:00:21. > :00:25.the moment, I am climbing to the top of a terrifying roller-coaster.
:00:25. > :00:35.We are going to be sharing some thrills with you and scaring
:00:35. > :00:45.ourselves silly. I cannot believe that we are doing this! Neither can
:00:45. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:57.Today, I get the inside story on the spook-tacular new series of
:00:57. > :01:02.CBeebies see's Young Dracula. out how to light up the skies with
:01:02. > :01:12.Europe's most spectacular firework competition. Plus, you know we like
:01:12. > :01:28.
:01:28. > :01:32.a challenge, but can we present the Hello, and welcome to this week's
:01:32. > :01:36.Blue Peter. It is a spooky one, coming from Alton Towers, one of
:01:36. > :01:43.the UK's largest theme parks. If the roller coasters do not scare
:01:43. > :01:47.you, don't worry. We are going to be going inside. We are expecting
:01:47. > :01:52.some spooky goings-on. It is supposed to be haunted. We are in
:01:52. > :01:56.trouble. I will look after you. This is one of the places you can
:01:56. > :02:00.get into for free if you have a Blue Peter badge. If you sent us a
:02:00. > :02:03.poem or picture, check the website because there are 200 attractions
:02:03. > :02:08.across the country, including Oceanarium in Bournemouth, Longleat
:02:08. > :02:12.Safari Park, but you can get into absolutely free. Sticking with the
:02:12. > :02:15.Hallowe'en theme, lots of spooky things on CBBC at the moment,
:02:15. > :02:19.including the start of the new series of Young Dracula. I was
:02:19. > :02:25.given the chance to go behind the scenes to see what is going on. But
:02:25. > :02:30.while I was there, I got more involved than I imagined.
:02:30. > :02:34.Growing up is hard when you are Dracula, a teenager, Vampire and
:02:34. > :02:40.the chosen one. It is positively dangerous. There have been three
:02:40. > :02:47.series of Young Dracula, following the adventures of him, his sister,
:02:47. > :02:53.Ingrid, and their DAB, Count Dracula himself. -- their father.
:02:53. > :02:58.The Young Dracula story has got ever more eyrie and exciting.
:02:58. > :03:03.is evil, I can feel it. So, what is it like creating the world of
:03:03. > :03:06.Dracula? Well, I have been given an Access All Areas pass to find out.
:03:06. > :03:10.Even better, they have given me a part, playing the role of a
:03:10. > :03:14.reporter. It is right up my street and I have even brought my own
:03:14. > :03:19.camera. It takes over three months to form one series of Young Dracula,
:03:19. > :03:24.and 80 people work on making the series happen. I had this reporter
:03:24. > :03:30.costume to prepare for my role. What do reporters where? What am I
:03:31. > :03:36.going to wear? Something casual. Keeping it nice and young. Jeans,
:03:36. > :03:43.trainers, and I'll be back in a jiffy. There is a photographer from
:03:43. > :03:48.the local paper to cover the quiz. How do we get out of this one?
:03:48. > :03:58.have faith in you. Time for a quick snoop around the set before I
:03:58. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:03.become a real reporter. Check this out. The kitchen! Powdered snake
:04:03. > :04:10.skin, lovely. Cockroaches, of course. Every kitchen as
:04:11. > :04:15.cockroaches. Oh, no! Cow snot. If he bakes you're Kate, do not eat it.
:04:15. > :04:19.With a few minutes to spare before my cameo, I grab a chat with the
:04:19. > :04:26.actors. What is the best thing about being part of the Dracula
:04:26. > :04:36.family? I love the fact that the count is equally a buffoon, as he
:04:36. > :04:39.
:04:39. > :04:49.is serious. And I love him, and it Every time you get to use powers,
:04:49. > :04:54.
:04:54. > :04:59.I think the best thing about being engraved is there all world which
:04:59. > :05:04.is completely different from real life. It is exactly what you want
:05:04. > :05:09.to do, come on set and be something completely different. The time has
:05:09. > :05:13.come to record my scene. I am actually nervous. I do not normally
:05:13. > :05:18.get nervous, but they have given me something to say, and I just want
:05:18. > :05:23.to get it down. The first take reveals an unexpected acting
:05:23. > :05:28.challenge. That is horrible! It is basically beetroot juice in a glass.
:05:28. > :05:31.We are pretending it is blood, but I need help because it is horrible.
:05:32. > :05:37.Just imagine it is something else, like cranberry juice, strawberry
:05:37. > :05:41.juice, anything you can think of. It is a slow process, where we film
:05:41. > :05:49.take after take and I pretend not to be sick on beetroot juice, again,
:05:49. > :05:56.and again. I am so glad that is over. Here is the final scene,
:05:56. > :06:05.featuring me, from the new series. Care for the taste? Thank you. It
:06:05. > :06:14.is very unusual. What is it? Pomegranate, cranberry, and
:06:14. > :06:21.liquorice. Liquorice? It is an acquired taste. Great fort detox.
:06:21. > :06:24.Very relaxing. So, what is going to happen with the photographer and
:06:24. > :06:32.the mysterious drink? If you want to find out, you will have to watch
:06:32. > :06:36.Young Dracula. So, does beetroot juice taste that bad? It tastes
:06:37. > :06:41.like old socks. Although, it is actually very good for you. One
:06:41. > :06:44.thing you should do is to watch the new series of Young Dracula at
:06:44. > :06:48.5:45pm on Monday. We have come to the attic of the castle, and it is
:06:48. > :06:58.fair to say they are definitely spooky goings-on here. Let's go
:06:58. > :06:59.
:06:59. > :07:07.exploring. Barney, have a look in here. It looks really creepy. What
:07:07. > :07:14.was that? I don't know. It is spooky. They hairs on my neck are
:07:14. > :07:17.standing up. Will that happen whenever we say the word "spooky"?
:07:17. > :07:22.That is sound effects. It is the best way to create atmosphere in a
:07:22. > :07:24.film or a movie. A few weeks ago, we asked you to get in touch about
:07:24. > :07:29.the competition where you get the chance to write the soundtrack and
:07:29. > :07:32.sound effects for a Wallace and Gromit movie. This is your chance
:07:32. > :07:37.to get creative. Look at this, and then you can add the sound effects,
:07:37. > :07:40.the music, changed the atmosphere, create the mood however you want it
:07:40. > :07:46.to be. You can use anything thought to have a look around your house.
:07:46. > :07:50.You can rip up paper, which makes a great sound. You can use shoes, to
:07:50. > :07:56.make footsteps. If you want something Speedie, you could use a
:07:56. > :07:59.hairdryer. There is a great scene in the movie, where he splats
:07:59. > :08:04.against the wall. Get some vegetables and splat them in your
:08:04. > :08:09.hand. You can use all kinds of things from around the house. Not
:08:09. > :08:12.everything works! Stick to presenting! You have until December
:08:12. > :08:18.3rd to enter the competition. You can do it with a friend from school,
:08:18. > :08:28.or in a group of up to five. Good luck. We have a masterclass for you
:08:28. > :08:30.
:08:30. > :08:34.now. Here is everything you need to A great soundtrack is a piece of
:08:34. > :08:43.music that makes the picture more than just a picture. It makes it an
:08:43. > :08:52.emotional experience. A very simple dark, low called, or notes, makes
:08:52. > :08:57.something sombre. I will show you. You immediately know you are in a
:08:57. > :09:05.different mood. When you hear a door, footsteps, or a car driving
:09:05. > :09:10.away, those sound effects have been created.
:09:10. > :09:17.We have snuck down into the castle because we are at Alton Towers for
:09:17. > :09:23.a spooky special Blue Peter. It is a mannequin. Come out of there, you
:09:23. > :09:27.are scaring me. Really creepy down there. Happy place! The Blue Peter
:09:27. > :09:32.appeal, that is happy. There is a piano. This has worked out well.
:09:32. > :09:36.This week, performed with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, to
:09:36. > :09:41.show you that it is easy to raise money for Children In Need by Going
:09:41. > :09:46.Pyjamas. You were with other people. Carol Kirkwood, who does the
:09:46. > :09:50.weather, she was there. You were all over Breakfast News, which
:09:50. > :09:53.prove you can do anything in your pyjamas. We thought it would be a
:09:53. > :10:00.good idea to take to a rollercoaster wearing our pyjamas.
:10:00. > :10:07.You thought it would be a good idea! He went green. Hallowe'en
:10:07. > :10:11.laugh. You are properly scaring me now. We are here to show you that
:10:11. > :10:16.you can be part of this appeal if you weigh your pyjamas and get
:10:16. > :10:20.sponsored. You can do anything you want in your pyjamas. We reckon we
:10:20. > :10:25.can present Blue Peter from a rollercoaster in our pyjamas.
:10:26. > :10:33.have special cameras strapped to us. Obviously, this is special
:10:33. > :10:42.equipment, so don't try this at home. Don't you get travel sick on
:10:42. > :10:52.these? Yes. I am already not enjoying myself. You know how I get
:10:52. > :10:54.
:10:54. > :10:57.travel sick? Action! For this year's Blue Peter appeal, we are
:10:57. > :11:01.supporting Children In Need and we want you to get sponsored to do
:11:01. > :11:06.anything and everything in your pyjamas. You can do absolutely
:11:06. > :11:13.anything. You can play a game of football, do gymnastics. Whatever
:11:13. > :11:22.you do, do it in your pyjamas. can organise something in your
:11:23. > :11:29.school, your youth club, in your pyjamas. You could do a fun run, a
:11:29. > :11:35.sponsored silence, even a car-boot sale. Oh, my goodness!
:11:35. > :11:40.information is on the website. can even print out posters. It is
:11:40. > :11:44.all on the Blue Peter website. the all-important sponsorship forms,
:11:44. > :11:50.so you can send your money to Children In Need. Whatever you
:11:50. > :11:56.decide to do, Go Pyjamas. I think Barney is going to be sick. I have
:11:56. > :12:02.got that watery thing. He actually went green after that.
:12:02. > :12:07.You had to lie down, didn't you? did not like it, but my shots were
:12:07. > :12:10.the steadiest, fantastic camerawork. A gold star for you. If you let us
:12:11. > :12:16.know where you are having an event and when you are going to hold it,
:12:17. > :12:19.let us know because we might come and surprise you. We have been
:12:19. > :12:22.asking you to get in touch so that we can come along and surprise you,
:12:22. > :12:27.and that is what happened to one drama group in Glasgow when Helen
:12:27. > :12:32.went along. This church hall is about to Go
:12:32. > :12:35.Pyjamas. I am sneaking in there for everyone starts to arrive for the
:12:35. > :12:42.weekly drama and music class, and I have brought some extra pyjamas to
:12:42. > :12:45.help with my cunning plan. This week, everybody has decided to come
:12:45. > :12:48.in their pyjamas to support Children In Need. I thought I would
:12:48. > :12:54.turn up and surprise them. I brought some friends to turn it
:12:54. > :13:01.into a party. You are meant to be hiding! I have got to keep really
:13:01. > :13:05.still so that nobody knows I'm here. Last week, Ella e-mailed us to tell
:13:05. > :13:10.us about the Go Pyjamas event she was planning, so we sent her a
:13:10. > :13:18.message to read out to the group. Sorry we cannot join in, but we
:13:18. > :13:28.have sent you a pair of pyjamas to get you started. Have some fun and
:13:28. > :13:33.
:13:33. > :13:42.Hello! How are you? If you want to have a pyjama party, scream. Hit it,
:13:42. > :13:45.boys! But I am not the only surprise. The beat boxer and the
:13:45. > :13:50.rapper are here to help the evening go with a broom and put them
:13:50. > :14:00.through their beat Box paces. And, of course, they're getting into the
:14:00. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:37.You have worked hard. You have worked hard. Who wants to see these
:14:37. > :14:42.to work hard? They have got an exclusive Children In Need wrap
:14:42. > :14:52.that has not been performed anywhere. It is for you. Do you
:14:52. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:02.Everybody who is with me right now, put your hands in the air. Started
:15:02. > :15:12.off talking about in the playground and ended up with Blue Peter coming
:15:12. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:43.and meeting Helen, and having lots # Let's get crazy, let's get crazy.
:15:43. > :15:53.Absolutely spectacular. To be part of this appeal and support Children
:15:53. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :15:58.In Need, put on your pyjamas, get sponsored and head out.
:15:58. > :16:04.Let's go crazy, let's go bananas. Don't look at me like that. You've
:16:04. > :16:09.got the dance moves! We've come outside. We said today's episode
:16:09. > :16:16.was spooky. Look at these spooky faces. Talk me through that Boylan
:16:16. > :16:22.your head. It is wax for Hallowe'en. We don't need to worry. We thought
:16:22. > :16:27.it was a real hole! Look at Callum. Some property it -- proper movie
:16:27. > :16:31.affects going on. We have Harry and scarlet, what have you been doing?
:16:31. > :16:37.We have just been on the Willy Wonka ride. Are you enjoying
:16:37. > :16:43.yourself? Es. Mum and dad are also getting involved. Let's talk about
:16:43. > :16:48.the Blue Peter Appeal. Getting to your pyjamas and raise money.
:16:48. > :16:53.over the country, we have had e- mails and we have added stickers to
:16:53. > :16:57.the mat. Dominic says I pray the drums in the junior section of the
:16:57. > :17:03.Macclesfield dance-band. -- play the drums. I have organised a
:17:03. > :17:07.performance for parents. Myers says we will wear pyjamas for a day at
:17:07. > :17:16.school. Claire says I'm planning a party for Twell friends from school
:17:16. > :17:22.at my house and there will be music and food. -- 12 friends. Day Hamish
:17:22. > :17:25.is going to do a sponsored climb in his pyjamas. Whatever it is you are
:17:25. > :17:30.doing for Children In Need in your pyjamas, get sponsored and let us
:17:30. > :17:35.know. Let's talk about Bonfire Night. If you are going to see
:17:35. > :17:39.fireworks, you probably wonder how a top display his but on,
:17:39. > :17:49.especially one set to music. Recently I went to Monaco with the
:17:49. > :17:51.
:17:51. > :17:55.British team to see them competing What you see here is a lorry being
:17:55. > :17:59.escorted into the docks of Monaco by the police. A police escort is
:18:00. > :18:05.normally reserved for royalty, but there is no royalty in the lorry.
:18:05. > :18:09.It is full to the brim with fireworks. A multi- award-winning
:18:09. > :18:14.British fireworks team have transported six tonnes of
:18:14. > :18:17.explosives over 1,000 miles from the UK to Monaco, a tiny nation by
:18:17. > :18:22.the Mediterranean Sea. The team are about to unload the truck and set
:18:22. > :18:27.off a massive fireworks display in the harbour for an international
:18:27. > :18:30.competition. I'm here to see if they can win. The display was
:18:30. > :18:37.designed by Mark, who started his planning eight months ago in
:18:37. > :18:43.Britain. How do you go from boys' toys, gadgets, to a fireworks
:18:43. > :18:49.display? We start with the music. Some of it is not any good with
:18:49. > :18:53.fireworks. Then you have to put fireworks to that. How? Are it goes
:18:53. > :18:58.from the music software into the script in software. We might use
:18:58. > :19:02.quiet fireworks or loud fireworks. If it is a colourful piece, we use
:19:02. > :19:08.colourful fireworks. How do you know when it will fire? Is a
:19:08. > :19:11.controlled by computers? The main panels go into smaller computers.
:19:11. > :19:16.Those individual fireworks are linked to this machine. You press
:19:16. > :19:22.the button and it does the rest. I think we should have a display
:19:22. > :19:28.outside. A Yes. I'm pressing the button! I'm doing this for all of
:19:29. > :19:33.our viewers across the nation. for it. That is a little
:19:33. > :19:38.demonstration of what you can do. Imagine that 4,000 times bigger.
:19:38. > :19:43.Epic. That is exactly what has been happening in Monaco, where the
:19:43. > :19:46.harbour has already seen three huge fireworks displays from France,
:19:46. > :19:52.Austria and the Czech Republic, all competing to win this year's
:19:52. > :19:56.competition. Mark and his crew face a big task building his firework
:19:56. > :20:03.fish and, but help is on hand as Mark's fiance is also an expert
:20:03. > :20:10.when it comes to fireworks. Can you explain what you need to do? We've
:20:10. > :20:17.got to carry these tubes into position and get the pins in so
:20:17. > :20:21.they are safe. We've got 20 group, 21. Can I be a crew member? I would
:20:21. > :20:25.love to get involved. We've got loads of things you can do. I get
:20:25. > :20:32.down and dirty to shift these huge tubes used to launch specialised
:20:32. > :20:36.fireworks. Placing them is very physical and technical. Very
:20:36. > :20:41.helpfully, I've been given a map of where they go and that is the
:20:41. > :20:51.language of these boys speak. I am guessing they want the one and six
:20:51. > :20:55.go next to this six and the eight there. The five and their three...
:20:55. > :20:59.We been here for hours and there's more to do. They have to set up
:20:59. > :21:04.those tubes and fill them with over 4,000 fireworks. I've been trying
:21:04. > :21:12.to help, but I've been getting in the way. I'm going to come back in
:21:12. > :21:15.the morning and see what they've Overnight the crew have made great
:21:15. > :21:21.progress laying at the launching tubes and loading fireworks into
:21:21. > :21:26.them along the harbour. Mark, Han and the team still have plenty of
:21:26. > :21:29.work to do, wiring every firework up to the computer. This doesn't
:21:29. > :21:34.look like the kind of phi work you would get on Bonfire Night when
:21:34. > :21:39.your dad is doing a display of the back garden. -- a firework. These
:21:39. > :21:44.are category four fireworks, professional work only. These boxes
:21:44. > :21:51.tell the fireworks when to go on. Yes. Would you trust me to do it? I
:21:51. > :21:56.would love to. Put that into 29. It doesn't matter which way round they
:21:56. > :22:04.go. It must be connected otherwise it won't fire. Definitely connected.
:22:04. > :22:07.Can't wait for the display. Number 29 his mind! The set-up has gone
:22:07. > :22:12.well and the next time I see this team, for display will be ready to
:22:12. > :22:16.go off with a bang. It has been just over two days, you have worked
:22:16. > :22:21.tirelessly to put this together. In 20 minutes, you will find out
:22:21. > :22:26.whether it has been worth it, how are you feeling? My stomach was in
:22:26. > :22:30.knots. I am so nervous. The conditions are perfect. We should
:22:30. > :22:35.see the fireworks dancing through the night sky in precise timing to
:22:35. > :22:42.the music. All we are waiting for is for the likes to go out and when
:22:42. > :22:52.that happens, we are ready. -- lights to go out. Good evening,
:22:52. > :23:02.
:23:02. > :23:10.Monaco. The lights are out. Good 400 types of firework are exploding
:23:10. > :23:15.over Monaco in 50 different vibrant colours. You can probably hear the
:23:15. > :23:19.horns from the ships. All of Monaco celebrates the fireworks by honking
:23:19. > :23:23.their horns to let everyone know they are loving the display. It
:23:24. > :23:28.could not have happened at a better time. Thanks to careful planning
:23:28. > :23:38.and hard work, it is a cracking display, light and sound in
:23:38. > :23:47.
:23:47. > :23:57.After firing almost six tonnes of fireworks, this massive display is
:23:57. > :24:11.
:24:12. > :24:18.This perfect ending to a fantastic firework display it is about to
:24:18. > :24:23.take an unexpected turn. For the worse. While we were captivated by
:24:23. > :24:29.the fireworks, Mother Nature put on a show of her own, a lightning
:24:29. > :24:33.storm which has taken everyone by surprise. If you are going to
:24:33. > :24:37.finish the show in style, this is how to do it. It started to pour
:24:37. > :24:41.down. We have one of the biggest thunderstorms I've ever seen, what
:24:41. > :24:45.a brilliant show. Everyone took cover where they could as the storm
