It's 5.30. We are live with all of this. | 6:31:23 | 6:31:25 | |
We meet one of the world's first bionic dogs, | 6:31:25 | 6:31:27 | |
and the vet who made it possible. | 6:31:27 | 6:31:30 | |
To prove how much we love hearing from you, | 6:31:30 | 6:31:32 | |
we surprised a boy who sent us something in the post. | 6:31:32 | 6:31:35 | |
Helen! | 6:31:35 | 6:31:37 | |
And you get exclusive behind-the-scenes access | 6:31:37 | 6:31:39 | |
to CBBC's brand-new programme. | 6:31:39 | 6:31:41 | |
Helen even got to control one of their puppets. | 6:31:41 | 6:31:43 | |
That's all on today's live Blue Peter. | 6:31:43 | 6:31:45 | |
What an amazing thing to do. | 6:31:53 | 6:31:55 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 6:32:02 | 6:32:03 | |
-Hello! -Hi! -It's 5.30, we are live, welcome to Blue Peter. | 6:32:04 | 6:32:07 | |
It's definitely live. Watch this. | 6:32:07 | 6:32:09 | |
We wouldn't do that in a pre-recorded show. | 6:32:09 | 6:32:11 | |
How are you? Welcome. | 6:32:11 | 6:32:13 | |
We want you to get involved as always. | 6:32:13 | 6:32:15 | |
We love it when you get in touch. | 6:32:15 | 6:32:16 | |
And we want you to stick around, | 6:32:16 | 6:32:18 | |
because at the end of the show I will be revealing | 6:32:18 | 6:32:21 | |
a secret challenge I've set for Barney. | 6:32:21 | 6:32:23 | |
-He's got no idea. -What? -Don't worry. I'll tell you later. | 6:32:23 | 6:32:27 | |
OK, that's exciting. Shall we get ready for the lights and the action? | 6:32:27 | 6:32:31 | |
I like it when we bring it all together. | 6:32:31 | 6:32:33 | |
Today we want you to get in touch. | 6:32:33 | 6:32:35 | |
We've got a theme running throughout the show. | 6:32:35 | 6:32:38 | |
We are talking about hypervynorama. | 6:32:38 | 6:32:39 | |
Does that happen every time we say hypervynorama? | 6:32:41 | 6:32:44 | |
-Yes! -I'm going to get one fitted at home. | 6:32:44 | 6:32:47 | |
Hypervynorama is how they bring puppets to life | 6:32:47 | 6:32:49 | |
in a brand-new show on CBBC. Have a look at this. | 6:32:49 | 6:32:52 | |
I meant to ask, who told you I wasn't a king, anyway? | 6:32:54 | 6:32:57 | |
Close the lid. Men! | 6:32:57 | 6:33:00 | |
That starts on Wednesday 8th. | 6:33:02 | 6:33:04 | |
The hypervynorama is the animation of the mouth. It's very cool. | 6:33:05 | 6:33:09 | |
It's a new technique. It's a new word. | 6:33:09 | 6:33:11 | |
So new it's not even in the dictionary yet. | 6:33:11 | 6:33:14 | |
But we want to know from you today, | 6:33:14 | 6:33:16 | |
what is your favourite word in the dictionary? | 6:33:16 | 6:33:18 | |
I like boondoggle, which means to spend wastefully. | 6:33:18 | 6:33:21 | |
I like toggle. | 6:33:21 | 6:33:22 | |
And bumph. You'd use that if you've got lots of bumph lying around. | 6:33:22 | 6:33:26 | |
Or maybe flummery. | 6:33:26 | 6:33:27 | |
It means meaningless chat, so I guess that makes us flummerists. | 6:33:27 | 6:33:30 | |
Let us know what your favourite word is... | 6:33:30 | 6:33:35 | |
We want to know what your favourite word in the dictionary is. | 6:33:38 | 6:33:40 | |
Anything goes. | 6:33:40 | 6:33:42 | |
-Hypervynorama is my favourite. -It's not in the dictionary yet. | 6:33:42 | 6:33:46 | |
Good point. Let's talk about last week's show. | 6:33:46 | 6:33:48 | |
We showed you how to make T-shirts. | 6:33:48 | 6:33:50 | |
We were very excited to find our postbag full of ideas from you. | 6:33:50 | 6:33:54 | |
We've got pictures sent in to us. This was sent in by Luke. | 6:33:54 | 6:33:58 | |
He's nine. | 6:33:58 | 6:33:59 | |
He sent in a photograph of a T-shirt he made. | 6:33:59 | 6:34:03 | |
It took him over two hours. We hope it was worth it, Luke. | 6:34:03 | 6:34:05 | |
It does take a while to dry, as Lily found out. This is hers with no arms. | 6:34:05 | 6:34:10 | |
She was feeling in a vesty mood, but it looks very cool, so we love it. | 6:34:10 | 6:34:13 | |
And Sarpreet got in touch with this photograph of a T-shirt she made. | 6:34:13 | 6:34:17 | |
But what you will see there is she has actually got three T-shirts. | 6:34:17 | 6:34:21 | |
She sent two of them to us! | 6:34:21 | 6:34:24 | |
There's no excuse not to have competitions from now on. | 6:34:24 | 6:34:27 | |
We've got our own team shirts. Thank you. I love it. | 6:34:27 | 6:34:32 | |
We'll wear those a little later in the show. | 6:34:32 | 6:34:36 | |
You can still make the T-shirts. | 6:34:36 | 6:34:38 | |
The details are on the Blue Peter website. We're going back to school. | 6:34:38 | 6:34:42 | |
No ordinary school, though. And the pupils there don't look like us. | 6:34:42 | 6:34:46 | |
That is because the pupils are puppets. | 6:34:46 | 6:34:50 | |
This is Becky Butters. She is one of the stars | 6:34:50 | 6:34:53 | |
of the brand-new CBBC show Strange Hill High. | 6:34:53 | 6:34:56 | |
She's even wearing her very own Blue Peter badge. | 6:34:56 | 6:35:00 | |
The show starts on Wednesday 8th May. I'm going to make her wave. | 6:35:00 | 6:35:04 | |
It is not just the badge that's exciting, | 6:35:04 | 6:35:07 | |
it's the hypervynorama you're going to see in this interview. | 6:35:07 | 6:35:10 | |
CBBC's latest puppet series is being made in this studio | 6:35:14 | 6:35:18 | |
just outside Manchester. | 6:35:18 | 6:35:20 | |
I've been given backstage access, | 6:35:20 | 6:35:22 | |
so I've come to see if I can get involved. | 6:35:22 | 6:35:26 | |
Whilst the studio has all the trappings of a movie set, | 6:35:26 | 6:35:29 | |
everything is in miniature. | 6:35:29 | 6:35:32 | |
I am going to meet the full-sized director, Jeff. | 6:35:32 | 6:35:34 | |
Nice to meet you. | 6:35:34 | 6:35:36 | |
Strange Hill High is no ordinary school. | 6:35:36 | 6:35:39 | |
How is it different? | 6:35:39 | 6:35:41 | |
It looks like an ordinary school, | 6:35:41 | 6:35:44 | |
but it's populated by characters that are vinyl toys. | 6:35:44 | 6:35:47 | |
There's various strange worlds within the school. | 6:35:47 | 6:35:50 | |
Forgive me for doubting. | 6:35:50 | 6:35:52 | |
Only a true king can draw Excalibur | 6:35:52 | 6:35:54 | |
from the caked-on, impossible-to-get-rid-of muck. | 6:35:54 | 6:35:59 | |
Actually, I meant to ask. Who told you I wasn't a king? | 6:35:59 | 6:36:02 | |
I was looking at this set and the detail, | 6:36:02 | 6:36:05 | |
it must have taken days to build. | 6:36:05 | 6:36:08 | |
More like weeks. Things like the rubbish bags. | 6:36:08 | 6:36:13 | |
Any time anybody's not doing something on set, | 6:36:13 | 6:36:15 | |
they've been packing the rubbish bags. | 6:36:15 | 6:36:18 | |
-Can I get involved? -I think we can get you involved. | 6:36:18 | 6:36:21 | |
I think we can get you puppeteering. | 6:36:21 | 6:36:23 | |
-I imagine you have to be patient as a puppeteer? -You do. | 6:36:23 | 6:36:28 | |
There's a lot of fiddling to get things right, | 6:36:28 | 6:36:32 | |
but if you persevere and take your time, I'm sure you can get there. | 6:36:32 | 6:36:36 | |
Each episode starts off as a series of storyboard drawings. | 6:36:37 | 6:36:41 | |
Actors record the characters' voices, | 6:36:41 | 6:36:45 | |
and it is down to the puppeteers to bring the whole thing to life. | 6:36:45 | 6:36:49 | |
Lisa is one of the main puppeteers on the show, | 6:36:49 | 6:36:51 | |
and she's going to show me the ropes. Let's get cracking. | 6:36:51 | 6:36:55 | |
Lisa, who is this? | 6:36:55 | 6:36:56 | |
This is Little Miss Becky Butters. | 6:36:56 | 6:36:59 | |
She is one of the three main characters. | 6:36:59 | 6:37:01 | |
Huh, men! | 6:37:01 | 6:37:04 | |
She can be a little bit bossy, so we have a lot of things | 6:37:04 | 6:37:07 | |
where she waggles her finger and things. | 6:37:07 | 6:37:09 | |
Nothing wrong with that. | 6:37:09 | 6:37:11 | |
-She loves bit of drama in her life. -And she's got a Blue Peter badge? | 6:37:11 | 6:37:16 | |
-She is a Blue Peter lover. -That's not because we're here? | 6:37:16 | 6:37:19 | |
That's in the series, isn't it? | 6:37:19 | 6:37:21 | |
No, it's on her all the time, she wears it every day. | 6:37:21 | 6:37:24 | |
-I see a lot of similarities in Becky and myself. -That's fair. | 6:37:24 | 6:37:30 | |
This is the future. She might be legal by now. | 6:37:30 | 6:37:32 | |
Mitchell Tanner, I cannot believe you. | 6:37:32 | 6:37:35 | |
I am never speaking to you again! | 6:37:35 | 6:37:40 | |
What are the key things you need to be a good puppeteer? | 6:37:40 | 6:37:43 | |
One very important thing, hand-eye co-ordination. | 6:37:43 | 6:37:47 | |
We work on tiny monitors. We see what the camera sees. | 6:37:47 | 6:37:50 | |
If she was to move her left hand, we move our right. | 6:37:50 | 6:37:53 | |
-That is confusing! -I know, right? | 6:37:53 | 6:37:56 | |
-What else? -We give plenty of emotion to the character. | 6:37:56 | 6:38:00 | |
We don't just waggle an arm. We try to give her some fear, | 6:38:00 | 6:38:05 | |
some excitement that will make this little person become real. | 6:38:05 | 6:38:10 | |
Right. With that in mind, it's time for me to have a go. | 6:38:10 | 6:38:12 | |
Oh, no! I'm going to have to get everything cleaned up. | 6:38:12 | 6:38:16 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 6:38:16 | 6:38:18 | |
I think you've definitely got the emotion of it. | 6:38:18 | 6:38:21 | |
Well done. | 6:38:21 | 6:38:23 | |
We'll work on trying to keep everything that little bit smaller. | 6:38:23 | 6:38:26 | |
-Becky, it is time for your close-up. That way, methinks. -Let's go. | 6:38:26 | 6:38:30 | |
I'm still in character. I was doing the walk. | 6:38:30 | 6:38:35 | |
Of all the places to make a puppeteering debut, | 6:38:35 | 6:38:38 | |
my scene involves Becky and co having to clean the boys' loo. | 6:38:38 | 6:38:41 | |
The Strange Hill team are currently putting the finishing touches | 6:38:41 | 6:38:45 | |
to the set by throwing on some lovely brown gloop. | 6:38:45 | 6:38:48 | |
-I'll hand you Becky. -There's a step there. | 6:38:48 | 6:38:53 | |
So this is the screen you use to work out what Becky's doing? | 6:38:53 | 6:38:57 | |
One of a few. We normally have at least one for every two puppeteers. | 6:38:57 | 6:39:01 | |
Now I get the hand-eye coordination thing. | 6:39:01 | 6:39:04 | |
You're looking at that, but you're moving your hands up here. | 6:39:04 | 6:39:07 | |
-I'm warmed up. I think Becky's ready for action. -Excellent. | 6:39:07 | 6:39:11 | |
All of a sudden it's getting quite cosy in here. | 6:39:11 | 6:39:14 | |
This is more stressful when there are three people here, | 6:39:14 | 6:39:18 | |
because if I get my bit wrong, all of their bit is wasted. | 6:39:18 | 6:39:22 | |
No pressure then. Here goes. | 6:39:22 | 6:39:24 | |
And...action! | 6:39:24 | 6:39:26 | |
With so many people down here, it's difficult to see the screens. | 6:39:26 | 6:39:30 | |
This is stinking. | 6:39:30 | 6:39:31 | |
But thankfully Lisa is helping me out | 6:39:31 | 6:39:34 | |
by talking through the characters' emotions. | 6:39:34 | 6:39:37 | |
Nervous, nervous. | 6:39:37 | 6:39:39 | |
-And before I know it, it's all over. -And cut. | 6:39:42 | 6:39:46 | |
Lovely. | 6:39:46 | 6:39:48 | |
-That's great. -But will my puppeteering make the cut? | 6:39:48 | 6:39:53 | |
-How do you think it went? -We think it went well. Shall we have a look? | 6:39:53 | 6:39:59 | |
Lisa's happy. | 6:39:59 | 6:40:01 | |
That's good. | 6:40:01 | 6:40:04 | |
Yay! Look! | 6:40:04 | 6:40:06 | |
Do I manage to get enough emotion into Becky's movements? | 6:40:06 | 6:40:09 | |
-She's looking scared. That's great. -Nervous. | 6:40:09 | 6:40:12 | |
And look at that. | 6:40:12 | 6:40:14 | |
-Will that scene make into it the series? -Yes, I think so. | 6:40:14 | 6:40:19 | |
-It's a crucial moment in the episode. -And I didn't muck it up? | 6:40:19 | 6:40:23 | |
-Not at all. -It was lovely. -It was a millisecond of TV, | 6:40:23 | 6:40:26 | |
but I will be telling everybody I was a puppeteer on that. | 6:40:26 | 6:40:30 | |
Thank you so much for your time, patience and expertise. | 6:40:30 | 6:40:33 | |
-Good luck with the rest of it. -Thanks a lot. | 6:40:33 | 6:40:36 | |
We've won the task! We're safe for one more week. | 6:40:36 | 6:40:40 | |
What an absolute privilege. That was brilliant. | 6:40:40 | 6:40:43 | |
I am positive this series is going to be a hit. | 6:40:43 | 6:40:45 | |
I feel so lucky to have been able to be part of it. | 6:40:45 | 6:40:49 | |
I didn't realise how patient and strong you need to be a puppeteer. | 6:40:49 | 6:40:53 | |
Good work, good series, enjoy. | 6:40:53 | 6:40:55 | |
He's coming in! | 6:40:55 | 6:40:56 | |
And here it is, my bit in the finished episode. | 6:40:56 | 6:41:00 | |
THEY GASP | 6:41:00 | 6:41:01 | |
Oh, my goodness. | 6:41:10 | 6:41:12 | |
I've never seen such a clean lavatory. | 6:41:14 | 6:41:16 | |
I suppose it will have to do. | 6:41:16 | 6:41:19 | |
Thank you so much to all the puppeteers | 6:41:19 | 6:41:21 | |
who humoured me, helped me and let me have a go. | 6:41:21 | 6:41:24 | |
You will love that series. | 6:41:24 | 6:41:26 | |
If you want to know more about what they do, | 6:41:26 | 6:41:29 | |
tune into CBBC this coming Monday, | 6:41:29 | 6:41:31 | |
because there are loads of exclusive bits and bobs going on | 6:41:31 | 6:41:34 | |
in preparation for the big launch on Wednesday 8th May. | 6:41:34 | 6:41:37 | |
One of the things that is exciting about this show | 6:41:37 | 6:41:40 | |
is they use a brand-new technique called... | 6:41:40 | 6:41:43 | |
Hypervynorama. | 6:41:43 | 6:41:45 | |
I kept that link going cos I could see him at the side! | 6:41:45 | 6:41:48 | |
Waiting for my big entrance! | 6:41:48 | 6:41:49 | |
That technique involves playing with a bit of your mouth. | 6:41:49 | 6:41:52 | |
This inspired us to have a bit of fun in the office, | 6:41:52 | 6:41:54 | |
-and it resulted in some quite funny things. -Watch this. | 6:41:54 | 6:41:57 | |
What's funny about this? | 6:41:58 | 6:42:01 | |
You can have a go yourself. | 6:42:01 | 6:42:03 | |
If you get a smartphone you can do the video thing, | 6:42:03 | 6:42:05 | |
or just take some photos, which is what we did earlier. | 6:42:05 | 6:42:09 | |
-It's tap-screen, that. -Wicked. | 6:42:09 | 6:42:11 | |
The top of my head, bottom of Helen's face. It's quite weird. | 6:42:11 | 6:42:15 | |
I've got your eyes covering mine, so we have a Barney/Helen mash-up. | 6:42:15 | 6:42:20 | |
That's Hayley from Newsround. | 6:42:20 | 6:42:22 | |
If you haven't got a smartphone, don't worry, | 6:42:22 | 6:42:26 | |
as you can cut a picture from a magazine and do this. | 6:42:26 | 6:42:29 | |
That's Jessie J, by the way. | 6:42:31 | 6:42:33 | |
Or why not draw your own? | 6:42:33 | 6:42:37 | |
Hiya. How you doing? Isn't that good? I love it. | 6:42:37 | 6:42:40 | |
As always, if you do have a go, take a photograph, send it to us | 6:42:40 | 6:42:43 | |
and let us know how you get on. | 6:42:43 | 6:42:45 | |
We'll try and show it on next week's show. | 6:42:45 | 6:42:49 | |
If this has inspired you to mash up faces, get online... | 6:42:49 | 6:42:53 | |
This is where you find Mash-up Mayhem. You can do all sort of things | 6:42:53 | 6:42:56 | |
with Barney the dog's face or my face. | 6:42:56 | 6:43:00 | |
Barney is royalty, so we are going to stick a crown on there. | 6:43:00 | 6:43:04 | |
And he likes to wear jewels. That's his necklace. | 6:43:04 | 6:43:08 | |
If I see you put a necklace on Barney, we'll have serious words. | 6:43:08 | 6:43:12 | |
He does sometimes go into my jewellery box | 6:43:12 | 6:43:14 | |
and put his head through necklaces. | 6:43:14 | 6:43:15 | |
He especially likes to put his head in bags. | 6:43:15 | 6:43:18 | |
-He likes to wear a handbag. -Showbiz pooch. | 6:43:18 | 6:43:20 | |
We love it when you get in touch. | 6:43:20 | 6:43:23 | |
We do. Let's talk about this. | 6:43:23 | 6:43:25 | |
This is a bee hotel that we made some time ago, | 6:43:25 | 6:43:27 | |
but Ellie has drawn one. You can see five bees enjoying the hotel. | 6:43:27 | 6:43:32 | |
One single and two doubles. | 6:43:32 | 6:43:34 | |
We're always so overwhelmed by the things you send in. | 6:43:34 | 6:43:37 | |
Natalie sent in this colourful poster. | 6:43:37 | 6:43:40 | |
Natalie's ten and lives in Warrington. | 6:43:40 | 6:43:43 | |
There's everything on there, stars, Comic Relief, red noses, Blue Peter. | 6:43:43 | 6:43:48 | |
It is important that you talk about use of colour when referring to art. | 6:43:48 | 6:43:51 | |
This one is brilliant. Keep calm and love nature. | 6:43:51 | 6:43:53 | |
We would love to give the person who did this a Blue Peter badge, | 6:43:53 | 6:43:57 | |
but you didn't put your name on it. | 6:43:57 | 6:43:59 | |
If you want to get a Blue Peter badge and you send us some stuff, | 6:43:59 | 6:44:01 | |
make sure you put your name on. | 6:44:01 | 6:44:03 | |
But if you didn't do that, don't try and claim it! | 6:44:03 | 6:44:06 | |
Isaac created this Blue Peter ship for us. | 6:44:06 | 6:44:09 | |
Thank you very much for that, Isaac. | 6:44:09 | 6:44:11 | |
He'll be getting a Blue Peter badge. | 6:44:11 | 6:44:13 | |
As will everybody else who named their pictures. | 6:44:13 | 6:44:15 | |
And if you head over to the Blue Peter website, | 6:44:15 | 6:44:18 | |
you will find more details. | 6:44:18 | 6:44:20 | |
Our postal and email addresses are there. | 6:44:20 | 6:44:22 | |
One guy who did send us | 6:44:22 | 6:44:23 | |
something in the post is a 14-year-old called Gareth. | 6:44:23 | 6:44:26 | |
He sent a recipe book, and we were so excited we were fighting over it. | 6:44:26 | 6:44:31 | |
Have a look at this. | 6:44:31 | 6:44:33 | |
All kinds of things in here. | 6:44:33 | 6:44:34 | |
We've been fighting over this. | 6:44:34 | 6:44:38 | |
-We've both been flicking through it. -I want the ice cream cupcakes. | 6:44:38 | 6:44:41 | |
Everything's got sugar in it. It's a great idea. | 6:44:41 | 6:44:45 | |
There's no way I have enough sugar! | 6:44:45 | 6:44:47 | |
We couldn't decide what to make, | 6:44:47 | 6:44:50 | |
so I went to Gareth's school to surprise him. | 6:44:50 | 6:44:52 | |
Our chef and author, Gareth, | 6:45:10 | 6:45:12 | |
is in history class behind this wall. | 6:45:12 | 6:45:14 | |
The principal is about to get him, | 6:45:14 | 6:45:15 | |
so we can sneak in and set up our hidden cameras. | 6:45:15 | 6:45:18 | |
I think the coast's clear. | 6:45:20 | 6:45:23 | |
About there? | 6:45:26 | 6:45:28 | |
There we go. | 6:45:28 | 6:45:30 | |
Yeah. That'll do. | 6:45:30 | 6:45:32 | |
Gareth's back in class, and that's my cue. | 6:45:32 | 6:45:34 | |
Hello! | 6:45:39 | 6:45:41 | |
We thought that we would come and say hello. You must be Gareth. | 6:45:41 | 6:45:46 | |
-Yeah. -Nice to meet you. | 6:45:46 | 6:45:49 | |
-Am I right in thinking this was written by you? -Yeah. | 6:45:49 | 6:45:52 | |
It's absolutely phenomenal. We were so impressed with it. | 6:45:52 | 6:45:55 | |
We wanted to come along in the hope you would cook something with us. | 6:45:55 | 6:45:59 | |
But we heard you have an inspiration. | 6:45:59 | 6:46:01 | |
Do you like The Hairy Bikers? | 6:46:01 | 6:46:03 | |
-Yeah. -Turns out you are an inspiration to them, as well. | 6:46:03 | 6:46:06 | |
-What shall we have for tea? -California rolls. | 6:46:06 | 6:46:09 | |
It's too cold for that. | 6:46:09 | 6:46:11 | |
That's what we want, the summer lamb with carrot and fennel salad. | 6:46:11 | 6:46:14 | |
Mate, this is brilliant. | 6:46:14 | 6:46:18 | |
This puts us all to shame. That book is absolutely wonderful, Gareth. | 6:46:18 | 6:46:22 | |
The recipes are so well written. | 6:46:22 | 6:46:24 | |
Honestly, we are going mad trying to decide what we want to cook from it. | 6:46:24 | 6:46:28 | |
Gareth, very, very well done to you, mate. | 6:46:28 | 6:46:31 | |
We're very proud to look at your book and we are proud of you. | 6:46:31 | 6:46:34 | |
Yeah. Excellent work, man. | 6:46:34 | 6:46:36 | |
Now, it took work, but I managed to get it back off them. | 6:46:39 | 6:46:41 | |
We were wondering if you would cook with us today. Is that all right? | 6:46:41 | 6:46:46 | |
So it's straight from the classroom into the kitchen. | 6:46:46 | 6:46:50 | |
Welcome to Gareth's cookery class. | 6:46:50 | 6:46:52 | |
You are going to lead me through two of your top recipes. | 6:46:52 | 6:46:54 | |
-Yes, I am. -Toad in the hole and chocolate brownies. | 6:46:54 | 6:46:58 | |
We've washed our hands and turned the oven on, now what? | 6:46:58 | 6:47:01 | |
Weigh the flour out. | 6:47:01 | 6:47:03 | |
125. So, we need to crack the eggs. | 6:47:03 | 6:47:06 | |
Crack the eggs. | 6:47:06 | 6:47:08 | |
Oh, right. Just pour it in now? | 6:47:08 | 6:47:11 | |
-Pour it in. -OK. | 6:47:11 | 6:47:13 | |
When you are cooking, you have to make mess. | 6:47:13 | 6:47:16 | |
You know what, I often say that to Barney. | 6:47:16 | 6:47:19 | |
I have seen that he loves to keep things clean. | 6:47:19 | 6:47:22 | |
-It's unnecessary, isn't it? -Yes. | 6:47:22 | 6:47:24 | |
Maybe we need to whisk it. | 6:47:24 | 6:47:27 | |
-Who taught you all this? -My grandma. She used to teach me all sorts. | 6:47:27 | 6:47:32 | |
-How many sausages? -As many as we can fit in. | 6:47:32 | 6:47:36 | |
How long is that going in the oven for? | 6:47:36 | 6:47:39 | |
Ten minutes before we can pour the batter in. | 6:47:39 | 6:47:41 | |
OK. This is why I'm not a good cook, | 6:47:41 | 6:47:43 | |
because I like things to be ready now! | 6:47:43 | 6:47:45 | |
Well, you have to wait! | 6:47:45 | 6:47:48 | |
Not too much! | 6:47:48 | 6:47:51 | |
Make a wish. | 6:47:51 | 6:47:53 | |
Do they look slightly brown? | 6:47:55 | 6:47:57 | |
-Yeah! -That's the colour we want. | 6:47:57 | 6:48:00 | |
-Happy with that, Chef? -Yes. | 6:48:00 | 6:48:03 | |
With the batter poured over, the toad is in the hole, | 6:48:03 | 6:48:05 | |
and whilst it cooks in the oven, | 6:48:05 | 6:48:07 | |
it's time for us to get cracking on something a little sweeter. | 6:48:07 | 6:48:11 | |
How does Barney work with you? | 6:48:13 | 6:48:15 | |
I am categorically not eating chocolate! | 6:48:15 | 6:48:17 | |
Two whole eggs and then one egg yolk. | 6:48:22 | 6:48:25 | |
That's 5-8 minutes. | 6:48:27 | 6:48:30 | |
Are you determined to splatter stuff at me today? | 6:48:31 | 6:48:34 | |
-There we go. -That looks good. | 6:48:34 | 6:48:38 | |
So, we've got some milk poured. Helen! | 6:48:38 | 6:48:42 | |
-How long does this need to cook for? -About 20 minutes. | 6:48:43 | 6:48:47 | |
Brownies in, toad in the hole out. | 6:48:47 | 6:48:49 | |
-That's not bad. -That's amazing! | 6:48:49 | 6:48:54 | |
There's always room for my favourite part, dessert. | 6:48:54 | 6:48:57 | |
I'd like to say, Barney, that we'll save you some, | 6:49:02 | 6:49:05 | |
but I can't promise that's going to happen. | 6:49:05 | 6:49:08 | |
Gareth, thank you for having me in your kitchen. | 6:49:08 | 6:49:10 | |
Thank you so much for sending us your recipe book. | 6:49:10 | 6:49:13 | |
You genuinely are an inspiration. | 6:49:13 | 6:49:15 | |
Thank you very much, Gareth, for all your hard work. | 6:49:18 | 6:49:20 | |
And if you head to the website after the show, | 6:49:20 | 6:49:23 | |
you'll be able to see a few exclusive clips. | 6:49:23 | 6:49:26 | |
The crew were into that toad in the hole | 6:49:26 | 6:49:28 | |
faster than you can say toad in the hole. | 6:49:28 | 6:49:29 | |
That's quick. Let's talk about herbs. | 6:49:29 | 6:49:32 | |
Any good chef knows that herbs and spices can bring a dish to life. | 6:49:32 | 6:49:35 | |
It's not just about sprinkling and garnishing. | 6:49:35 | 6:49:38 | |
We've brought to you the garden to show you how to grow herbs. | 6:49:38 | 6:49:41 | |
You can grow them like this and use them in food. | 6:49:41 | 6:49:43 | |
Cheese and chive muffins. | 6:49:43 | 6:49:45 | |
The chives adds a little bit. | 6:49:45 | 6:49:48 | |
-These are delicious. -Strawberry and chocolate mint smoothies. | 6:49:48 | 6:49:52 | |
So, over the next six weeks, we are going to show you how to... | 6:49:52 | 6:49:55 | |
Grow it, cook it, eat it. | 6:49:55 | 6:49:58 | |
I was the glamorous assistant! | 6:49:58 | 6:50:01 | |
I am going to invite Katherine Kennedy in, our herb expert. | 6:50:01 | 6:50:06 | |
You'll show us how to get to this, but this happens in a few weeks? | 6:50:06 | 6:50:09 | |
-Yes. -Tell us what you do. | 6:50:09 | 6:50:11 | |
Well, I teach people how to grow fruit and veg and herbs at home. | 6:50:11 | 6:50:15 | |
We are going to be growing chives today. | 6:50:15 | 6:50:18 | |
-They look like this here. -BARNEY THE DOG WHIMPERS | 6:50:18 | 6:50:21 | |
There are lots of other things that you can grow | 6:50:21 | 6:50:24 | |
like the mint in your smoothies. This is chocolate mint. | 6:50:24 | 6:50:27 | |
I love that it's chocolate mint. | 6:50:27 | 6:50:29 | |
You don't expect chocolate to be a herb, it's more of the smell. | 6:50:29 | 6:50:34 | |
You have the mint flavour with a hint of chocolate. | 6:50:34 | 6:50:36 | |
It smells incredible. You can tell people want to use this in food. | 6:50:36 | 6:50:39 | |
It adds so much flavour. | 6:50:39 | 6:50:40 | |
You think of herbs and think of tarragon or basil, | 6:50:40 | 6:50:44 | |
which you've probably seen a lot on pizzas. | 6:50:44 | 6:50:46 | |
But these are more exciting. | 6:50:46 | 6:50:48 | |
You can grow most of these on your windowsill at home. | 6:50:48 | 6:50:51 | |
Lead the way. Take to the table. Show us how to grow these chives. | 6:50:51 | 6:50:55 | |
First of all, we need a container. | 6:50:55 | 6:50:59 | |
We have all kinds of things. We even have a welly. | 6:50:59 | 6:51:03 | |
-That's brilliant. -You have to put holes in the bottom. | 6:51:03 | 6:51:06 | |
-To let the water drain through. -It is. So, we have these. | 6:51:06 | 6:51:10 | |
Cardboard boxes, old cartons, bottles, yoghurt pots, | 6:51:10 | 6:51:13 | |
all make good holders. | 6:51:13 | 6:51:15 | |
They do. Just remember the holes in the bottom are important. | 6:51:15 | 6:51:18 | |
Our seeds are going to be made in an orange carton, | 6:51:18 | 6:51:21 | |
cut in half and holes in the bottom. | 6:51:21 | 6:51:24 | |
-First things first? -We need compost. | 6:51:24 | 6:51:27 | |
-OK. -Fill up right to the top, no pressing down. | 6:51:27 | 6:51:32 | |
Seeds are quite easy to get hold of? | 6:51:32 | 6:51:34 | |
It's quite cheap, usually cheaper than having to buy the plant. | 6:51:34 | 6:51:38 | |
I have seen seeds in supermarkets now. | 6:51:38 | 6:51:40 | |
-Is it too late to plant seeds? -No. | 6:51:40 | 6:51:43 | |
Because we had a late spring, it's great to actually get them in now. | 6:51:43 | 6:51:48 | |
-OK. -Tap the pot and make sure that sinks, and we need these seeds. | 6:51:48 | 6:51:53 | |
-So... hand out. -Thank you. | 6:51:53 | 6:51:54 | |
We only need a few seeds because these get big. | 6:51:54 | 6:51:58 | |
So, we need a little sprinkle on top. | 6:51:58 | 6:52:00 | |
A tiny covering, otherwise they'll struggle to get out. | 6:52:00 | 6:52:03 | |
-Water. -A little bit of water. | 6:52:03 | 6:52:09 | |
I love how messy you've made that! | 6:52:09 | 6:52:11 | |
We do have a messy person. Clear plastic. | 6:52:11 | 6:52:14 | |
It's important to keep the heat and moisture in, | 6:52:14 | 6:52:17 | |
and they need to go on a sunny windowsill at home somewhere warm. | 6:52:17 | 6:52:22 | |
Over the next six weeks they will grow, | 6:52:22 | 6:52:24 | |
because Helen and I are having a competition | 6:52:24 | 6:52:26 | |
to see who can grow theirs the fastest. | 6:52:26 | 6:52:29 | |
If you don't want to get into a fight with a person | 6:52:29 | 6:52:31 | |
who owns the kitchen table, | 6:52:31 | 6:52:32 | |
put a tray under there so it doesn't get messy. | 6:52:32 | 6:52:35 | |
-Sorry, Mum! -All the details are on the website. | 6:52:35 | 6:52:39 | |
Katherine, thank you so much. | 6:52:39 | 6:52:40 | |
-Good luck on the competition. -Thank you very much. -Bring it on! | 6:52:40 | 6:52:43 | |
Now have you seen Iron Man 3 yet? | 6:52:43 | 6:52:46 | |
It's amazing. If you haven't, watch this. | 6:52:46 | 6:52:50 | |
Listen to me. See that guy? | 6:52:50 | 6:52:52 | |
I'm going to swing by and you're going to grab him. | 6:52:52 | 6:52:55 | |
You got it? | 6:52:55 | 6:52:58 | |
I will electrify your arm. You won't be able to open your hand. | 6:52:58 | 6:53:02 | |
We can do this. | 6:53:02 | 6:53:04 | |
Iron Man's awesome, a bit like Katherine's herbs. | 6:53:06 | 6:53:08 | |
Thank you to Katherine for coming in. | 6:53:08 | 6:53:10 | |
We will keep you posted on how the herbs grow. | 6:53:10 | 6:53:12 | |
Back, to Iron Man, the bionic suit gives him amazing superpowers. | 6:53:12 | 6:53:16 | |
It's not readily available on the market, | 6:53:16 | 6:53:18 | |
but some human beings, as we've seen, have got a bionic arm. | 6:53:18 | 6:53:23 | |
It's not just humans who are making the most of this technology. | 6:53:23 | 6:53:26 | |
Meet Mr Stubbs. | 6:53:26 | 6:53:29 | |
He is an alligator who lost his tail in a fight. | 6:53:29 | 6:53:34 | |
He is having difficulty swimming, | 6:53:34 | 6:53:36 | |
so a team of people in the USA made him a fake tail | 6:53:36 | 6:53:38 | |
and he can now swim happily. That is brilliant. | 6:53:38 | 6:53:42 | |
It's amazing. This is Gamera, a tortoise from Washington. | 6:53:42 | 6:53:46 | |
He lost his leg left and has been fitted with a wheel to get around. | 6:53:46 | 6:53:50 | |
Absolutely brilliant. We knew you would want to know more, | 6:53:50 | 6:53:53 | |
so we have invited an expert into the studio. | 6:53:53 | 6:53:56 | |
Noel here knows how to help animals who are born without limbs | 6:53:56 | 6:54:00 | |
or who lose them in accidents. | 6:54:00 | 6:54:03 | |
This is one of your patients. Tell us about Bumblebee. | 6:54:03 | 6:54:06 | |
He was born with a poorly shoulder that was deformed and no foot. | 6:54:06 | 6:54:12 | |
We have effectively put a foot on to him now. | 6:54:12 | 6:54:15 | |
And the key thing, the difference between him and the other animals | 6:54:15 | 6:54:19 | |
is all of those animals have strap-on legs, | 6:54:19 | 6:54:22 | |
so they're strapped on and they can get a socket | 6:54:22 | 6:54:25 | |
that gets sore underneath that, the same as people. | 6:54:25 | 6:54:29 | |
So it's like a Paralympian, it attaches on the outside. | 6:54:29 | 6:54:33 | |
-This is on the inside. -Exactly. | 6:54:33 | 6:54:35 | |
The key difference between Bumblebee and other animals | 6:54:35 | 6:54:39 | |
is there is a peg protruding through her skin. | 6:54:39 | 6:54:42 | |
You can pinch it up here and it doesn't fall off. | 6:54:42 | 6:54:46 | |
The key thing is there's a piece of metal actually inside her bone. | 6:54:46 | 6:54:51 | |
It sticks to it like superglue. | 6:54:51 | 6:54:53 | |
Then the skin sticks to a honeycomb outside this peg | 6:54:53 | 6:54:58 | |
and the peg pokes through and the bugs can't get in. | 6:54:58 | 6:55:01 | |
It can't get infected. | 6:55:01 | 6:55:03 | |
It's comfortable for them to wear, it's internal. | 6:55:03 | 6:55:07 | |
Like Iron Man, it's actually bionic. | 6:55:07 | 6:55:09 | |
Everything else you have seen is not bionic. | 6:55:09 | 6:55:11 | |
Bionic is the replacement of parts of your body | 6:55:11 | 6:55:14 | |
with functional metal bits or mechanical bits that actually work. | 6:55:14 | 6:55:17 | |
Which you have pioneered. Oscar the cat is here. | 6:55:17 | 6:55:21 | |
You were the first bioengineer to attach these to a cat. | 6:55:21 | 6:55:24 | |
What is Oscar's story? | 6:55:24 | 6:55:26 | |
Oscar had both feet chopped off by a combine harvester, | 6:55:26 | 6:55:29 | |
and we put this peg through the ankles and put blades on. | 6:55:29 | 6:55:33 | |
You can put endless numbers of blades on. | 6:55:33 | 6:55:35 | |
You can change them like a shoe. | 6:55:35 | 6:55:38 | |
The skin seals tightly around the end. | 6:55:38 | 6:55:40 | |
That's been the Holy Grail forever and ever, | 6:55:40 | 6:55:42 | |
and now we truly can call a dog or cat bionic. | 6:55:42 | 6:55:47 | |
Would you need to replace that? Might she wear that out? | 6:55:47 | 6:55:50 | |
Absolutely. Just like you replace your shoes, | 6:55:50 | 6:55:52 | |
we can replace these as often as Bumblebee needs, | 6:55:52 | 6:55:56 | |
and it slots on like that. | 6:55:56 | 6:55:57 | |
This isn't something that humans have yet, is it? | 6:55:57 | 6:56:01 | |
It's difficult. It's a difficult technology. | 6:56:01 | 6:56:03 | |
We are pioneering it for animals, | 6:56:03 | 6:56:05 | |
and we hope that this will light the way for humans in the future. | 6:56:05 | 6:56:08 | |
Humans can also have this peg inside their leg | 6:56:08 | 6:56:12 | |
with a skin seal that never breaks down. | 6:56:12 | 6:56:14 | |
It's incredible. How accessible is this? Surgery is expensive. | 6:56:14 | 6:56:18 | |
Yes. We hope the expense of it will come down over time | 6:56:18 | 6:56:22 | |
to the cost of a hip replacement like a dog or your nan might have. | 6:56:22 | 6:56:27 | |
The reality is now, yes, it's expensive, | 6:56:27 | 6:56:30 | |
but it's giving all of the animals all of the options all of the time. | 6:56:30 | 6:56:33 | |
And let's remember lots of cats and dogs | 6:56:33 | 6:56:36 | |
can actually handle fine with three legs. | 6:56:36 | 6:56:38 | |
Absolutely. I want to emphasise | 6:56:38 | 6:56:39 | |
there's loads of cats and dogs perfectly happy on three legs. | 6:56:39 | 6:56:43 | |
The reason it didn't suit Bumblebee is she's got a deep chest | 6:56:43 | 6:56:45 | |
and would find it difficult on three legs. | 6:56:45 | 6:56:47 | |
We gave her the option. | 6:56:47 | 6:56:49 | |
Thank you. And thank you Bumblebee for sitting there patiently. | 6:56:49 | 6:56:54 | |
She's better behaved than our Barney. | 6:56:54 | 6:56:57 | |
Definitely better behaved than my nan. I might get the Iron Man suit. | 6:56:57 | 6:57:00 | |
She's amazing. She runs through the fields. | 6:57:00 | 6:57:03 | |
Thank you very much. | 6:57:03 | 6:57:05 | |
Loads of you have been getting in touch because we asked you | 6:57:05 | 6:57:08 | |
to let us know what your favourite word in the dictionary is. | 6:57:08 | 6:57:12 | |
Alex says it's abbreviation. Because it's a long word. | 6:57:12 | 6:57:17 | |
Why is a word that means short word such a long word? | 6:57:17 | 6:57:19 | |
Carla says my favourite word is flannel | 6:57:19 | 6:57:22 | |
because it sounds funny when you say it. | 6:57:22 | 6:57:24 | |
Megan who's ten says my favourite is disestablishmentarianism. | 6:57:24 | 6:57:28 | |
"It's a real word!" she says with exclamation marks. | 6:57:28 | 6:57:31 | |
Ellie says my favourite word is flabbergasted. | 6:57:31 | 6:57:34 | |
Felicity loves discombobulated. Great word! | 6:57:34 | 6:57:38 | |
Isabella loves jelly. | 6:57:38 | 6:57:40 | |
You have left the next one for me! | 6:57:40 | 6:57:42 | |
Floxi...floccinauci... | 6:57:43 | 6:57:45 | |
Floccinaucinihilipilification. | 6:57:45 | 6:57:49 | |
That's the habit of thinking something is worthless. | 6:57:49 | 6:57:53 | |
That was learned in an English lesson a month ago. | 6:57:53 | 6:57:55 | |
It's from Lauren who's 14. | 6:57:55 | 6:57:57 | |
My favourite word is haberdashery. It's materials you use for sewing. | 6:57:57 | 6:58:02 | |
That's from Esme. PS, she's a big fan. Hi, Esme. | 6:58:02 | 6:58:05 | |
And Danielle says jambalaya, because it's so much fun to say. | 6:58:05 | 6:58:10 | |
Thank you so much for getting in touch. | 6:58:10 | 6:58:13 | |
You might remember, Barney, at the top of the show | 6:58:13 | 6:58:15 | |
I said we have a surprise. He has no idea we've done this. | 6:58:15 | 6:58:18 | |
I have entered you in a trombone competition on 24th May. | 6:58:18 | 6:58:23 | |
You have a few weeks to learn a new instrument! | 6:58:23 | 6:58:27 | |
This trombone you have to learn to play. | 6:58:27 | 6:58:30 | |
Before we started the show, Barney went, can you believe | 6:58:30 | 6:58:32 | |
they're making us stay behind for a meeting. | 6:58:32 | 6:58:34 | |
That's your first trombone lesson! | 6:58:34 | 6:58:37 | |
You've got to be kidding! | 6:58:37 | 6:58:39 | |
He is going to be in an actual competition. | 6:58:39 | 6:58:42 | |
Have a look at what's happening next week. | 6:58:42 | 6:58:45 | |
-Have I got to play this for real? -You have! -How am I going to do that? | 6:58:45 | 6:58:48 | |
On next week's Blue Peter we will be heading to Forest Green Rovers | 6:58:48 | 6:58:51 | |
to find out how they're super eco-friendly. | 6:58:51 | 6:58:54 | |
And we'll be taking to the skies in a high-flying challenge. | 6:58:54 | 6:58:57 | |
I can't believe you have done this. | 6:58:57 | 6:58:59 | |
And Stooshe will be performing their latest single. | 6:58:59 | 6:59:02 | |
Hopefully with a trombone solo from me. | 6:59:02 | 6:59:05 | |
And we will show you how to make your own funky sunglasses. | 6:59:05 | 6:59:08 | |
Get some sunglasses ready and you can join in the make. | 6:59:08 | 6:59:11 | |
-Good luck, Barney! -See you next week. Bye! | 6:59:11 | 6:59:14 | |
