6:45:53 > 6:46:00.
6:46:08 > 6:46:11By popular demand, we have Blue Peter's biggest diva
6:46:11 > 6:46:15back on the scene. You love her, we love her, and she loves you.
6:46:15 > 6:46:16I catch up with Shelley!
6:46:16 > 6:46:20Mwah! And from one of TV's biggest animal stars to the smallest -
6:46:20 > 6:46:22I meet this teeny, tiny, lamb.
6:46:22 > 6:46:26Did you send an entry for our Wimbledon competition?
6:46:26 > 6:46:28We're going to reveal the winner.
6:46:28 > 6:46:32That's all coming up on today's live Blue Peter.
6:46:39 > 6:46:41What an amazing thing to do!
6:46:46 > 6:46:48APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
6:46:48 > 6:46:51Hello, how are you doing? That's Matti, by the way.
6:46:51 > 6:46:53He's attempting to set a brand-new world
6:46:53 > 6:46:55record on his BMX right here in the Blue Peter studio.
6:46:55 > 6:46:56BARNEY WHINES
6:46:56 > 6:46:58Barney's jealous!
6:46:58 > 6:47:00That's because it's his bike, he wants to ride it.
6:47:00 > 6:47:01Anyway, how are you doing?
6:47:01 > 6:47:04Today's show is more packed than a One Direction concert
6:47:04 > 6:47:05so we had best get on with it.
6:47:05 > 6:47:07Yes, we're live, and we want to hear from you.
6:47:07 > 6:47:10We want to know, if you could bring anything back, what would it be?
6:47:10 > 6:47:13That is because we're bringing Shelley back by popular demand,
6:47:13 > 6:47:15so what would you bring back?
6:47:15 > 6:47:18I would bring back the London Olympics, cos it was so much fun.
6:47:18 > 6:47:20It was such a good time. It doesn't have to be
6:47:20 > 6:47:23six months ago, it can be further back. When I was little,
6:47:23 > 6:47:24look, we used to have these -
6:47:24 > 6:47:27instant cameras. Press the button and the picture came out.
6:47:27 > 6:47:29I'd bring these back because they're amazing.
6:47:29 > 6:47:31They were absolute brilliant.
6:47:31 > 6:47:36Well, let us know what you want to bring back.
6:47:36 > 6:47:38Right, we love hearing from you guys,
6:47:38 > 6:47:40you absolutely rock at sending stuff in, so much
6:47:40 > 6:47:44- so that we have created a badge of fame.- It's very nice.
6:47:44 > 6:47:47Loads of you have been sending things in, I want to say a special
6:47:47 > 6:47:53thank you to seven-year-old Joshua who sent in this fantastic poster.
6:47:53 > 6:47:57If you look closely, you will be able to see that it is made
6:47:57 > 6:48:00up of loads and loads and loads of individual Blue Peter stickers.
6:48:00 > 6:48:04It took some serious work, didn't it, a really good job.
6:48:04 > 6:48:07I also want say thank you to Erica, Charlie and Martha,
6:48:07 > 6:48:13they sent in a little present for Barney the dog. Have a look at this.
6:48:13 > 6:48:15They have made Barney a mini kennel.
6:48:15 > 6:48:18That's real size, Helen just has really massive hands!
6:48:18 > 6:48:20We'll see if he sleeps in that later on. Thank you very much
6:48:20 > 6:48:23for sending in your stuff. Last week Misha B was in the studio
6:48:23 > 6:48:26showing you how to get creative by designing your own blackboards.
6:48:26 > 6:48:28It was up to you how you decorated it with your own frames
6:48:28 > 6:48:30and lots of you have sent in your designs.
6:48:30 > 6:48:33You can see here, we've got Joe, Lizzie and Anna who've done their
6:48:33 > 6:48:35own one with a Blue Peter badge in the middle of it.
6:48:35 > 6:48:38- Fantastic. Thank you guys. - Check out Daniel's smile!
6:48:38 > 6:48:41He did not want that photo to be taken, did he? Look at him.
6:48:41 > 6:48:42Thank you very much, Daniel.
6:48:42 > 6:48:45He sent a photograph of himself with his blackboard, saying,
6:48:45 > 6:48:48"I love Blue Peter", and he's done a football-inspired blackboard,
6:48:48 > 6:48:51so we're glad that you enjoyed sending in and building those.
6:48:51 > 6:48:53Right, over there - is that what you're pointing for?
6:48:53 > 6:48:56Avid Blue Peter viewers will remember that last year,
6:48:56 > 6:48:59Barney and I had a go at BMX cycling.
6:48:59 > 6:49:01It was all part of our big Olympic tour.
6:49:01 > 6:49:03I think I won that one, didn't it?
6:49:03 > 6:49:05Really? You didn't mention it much, I don't remember!
6:49:05 > 6:49:08Now, that was a different type of BMX riding, that was racing, but
6:49:08 > 6:49:13there is more than one way to get around on a bike like that.
6:49:13 > 6:49:15You can race on tracks like these where it's all about speed
6:49:15 > 6:49:18and bravery, or you can try stunt BMXing
6:49:18 > 6:49:21where you concentrate on jumps and tricks.
6:49:21 > 6:49:23Finally, there's flatland,
6:49:23 > 6:49:26this is a mix of artistic cycling with a blend of breakdancing.
6:49:26 > 6:49:29And, if you want a master flatlander,
6:49:29 > 6:49:31then Matti Hemmings is your man.
6:49:31 > 6:49:34He is a world record holder for the most BMX cliff-hanger spins - oh,
6:49:34 > 6:49:36and we have got him in the Blue Peter garden today.
6:49:36 > 6:49:38Result!
6:49:38 > 6:49:40Matti, thank you so much for coming in.
6:49:40 > 6:49:43I'm going to get out of the way, so you can show us some of your stuff.
6:49:43 > 6:49:44Good luck!
6:50:22 > 6:50:24APPLAUSE
6:50:24 > 6:50:25Matti, that is amazing!
6:50:25 > 6:50:27I'm thinking, "I just wouldn't know where to
6:50:27 > 6:50:30"begin," but I want to, and that's why I've got my helmet,
6:50:30 > 6:50:32because you're going to teach me a trick.
6:50:32 > 6:50:35You need a helmet because I'm guessing this must be dangerous.
6:50:35 > 6:50:36How dangerous is it?
6:50:36 > 6:50:39It can be dangerous, but as long as you are with a group of friends
6:50:39 > 6:50:42and you're wearing your helmet, it should be fine, it's safe.
6:50:42 > 6:50:45Can you only attempt those tricks on a bike like this?
6:50:45 > 6:50:48Yes, this is designed for doing them tricks, as you can see,
6:50:48 > 6:50:50I've got no brakes, and no reflectors,
6:50:50 > 6:50:53so I wouldn't ride this on the roads, just because it's too dangerous,
6:50:53 > 6:50:55so I wouldn't go down to the shops for a bag of sweets,
6:50:55 > 6:50:58it's just not made for that - it's just made for doing tricks.
6:50:58 > 6:50:59The pegs obviously help that?
6:50:59 > 6:51:02Yes, the pegs are plastic, and I got plastic pedals as well,
6:51:02 > 6:51:04so it just saves my shin.
6:51:04 > 6:51:06I'm going to put my helmet on cos you're going to teach me a trick.
6:51:06 > 6:51:09Where did you start, I mean, how do you first get into this?
6:51:09 > 6:51:11I first got into it when I was about 15,
6:51:11 > 6:51:15so, I grew up in a village, there wasn't much to do, so I just
6:51:15 > 6:51:18decided, I saw flatland BMX on TV, and it just went from there, really.
6:51:18 > 6:51:20So if you can get a bike like this,
6:51:20 > 6:51:23get a helmet and you get some mates together and get out and have a go?
6:51:23 > 6:51:25Yes, and I can see that you've got a racing helmet,
6:51:25 > 6:51:28so it protects your jaw, which is good!
6:51:28 > 6:51:30Someone upstairs is really worried about me,
6:51:30 > 6:51:33I've got the ultimate helmet!! OK, what am I doing?
6:51:33 > 6:51:35So, we're going to do something called a truckstand,
6:51:35 > 6:51:38so you put your left foot into the spokes
6:51:38 > 6:51:40and you put your right foot there.
6:51:40 > 6:51:44And then hold on to the handlebars with your left hand
6:51:44 > 6:51:46and then take your right hand off.
6:51:46 > 6:51:50OK, right, I've ridden a BMX, but I've never done flatlanding,
6:51:50 > 6:51:52I'm not a trickster, so to speak.
6:51:52 > 6:51:55That's it, so, there you go, and what I'll do...
6:51:55 > 6:51:59so you keep your foot in that position and I will move my hand.
6:51:59 > 6:52:02Wahey! I take it back. I am a trickster.
6:52:02 > 6:52:04There you go.
6:52:04 > 6:52:05I don't know how to get down!
6:52:05 > 6:52:07HE LAUGHS
6:52:07 > 6:52:10Matti, thank you very much. I can see once you have
6:52:10 > 6:52:12started to have a little bit of a go you want to do more.
6:52:12 > 6:52:15You're hopefully going to set a new world record for us in a while...
6:52:15 > 6:52:17Yes, I'm going to give it a good go, see what I can do.
6:52:17 > 6:52:19You can, we believe in you.
6:52:19 > 6:52:22Matti is aiming for a new world record in the most number of...
6:52:27 > 6:52:29That's the most ridiculous name for a record.
6:52:29 > 6:52:31Matti, I will let you go and practice.
6:52:31 > 6:52:33Good luck, in less than 20 minutes,
6:52:33 > 6:52:35Matti is going to be attempting that record.
6:52:35 > 6:52:39But, for now, sit back and remember the First Lady of Blue Peter.
6:52:39 > 6:52:42A lady who gets an unbelievable amount of post,
6:52:42 > 6:52:47and you know what, in this helmet, I think I look a bit like her!
6:52:47 > 6:52:50I've left Barney the dog at home. Why?
6:52:50 > 6:52:52Because on a day like today he would get very jealous.
6:52:52 > 6:52:54You know how he gets.
6:52:54 > 6:52:57I have come to see one of the other Blue Peter pets.
6:52:57 > 6:52:59Shelley, the tortoise.
6:52:59 > 6:53:00We know that you guys love her
6:53:00 > 6:53:03because we get loads of post for her.
6:53:03 > 6:53:07This folder's full of letters and poems all for Shelley the tortoise.
6:53:07 > 6:53:10Now, it is spring, so she must be waking up.
6:53:10 > 6:53:13I thought I would go and see how she's getting on.
6:53:13 > 6:53:15Shelley, everybody!
6:53:15 > 6:53:19Shelley has been a Blue Peter pet since 2004,
6:53:19 > 6:53:22which makes her the longest serving of all our current pets.
6:53:22 > 6:53:25When she's not busy filming with us she lives in this house
6:53:25 > 6:53:31near London, where she's looked after by Marina and grandson Leo.
6:53:31 > 6:53:35Shelley has been in hibernation since mid-November,
6:53:35 > 6:53:38and she usually hibernates for around four months, coming out
6:53:38 > 6:53:42whenever the weather starts to get a little bit warmer.
6:53:42 > 6:53:45- Oh, look, she's awake! Hello, Marina. Hello, Leo.- Hi, Helen.
6:53:45 > 6:53:48- Nice to see you again. You all right?- Yes, thank you.
6:53:48 > 6:53:50Well, she is all right. Look at Shelley go!
6:53:50 > 6:53:54Yes, she is absolutely fine. She woke up on February the 14th...
6:53:54 > 6:53:56- So, she woke up on Valentine's Day? - Yes.
6:53:56 > 6:53:58That is early for her, isn't it?
6:53:58 > 6:54:01Yes, depending on the weather, it was a little bit early.
6:54:01 > 6:54:05We're not exactly sure how old Shelley is, but she is somewhere
6:54:05 > 6:54:09around her mid-20s, which is pretty young for a tortoise.
6:54:09 > 6:54:14The oldest tortoise on record lived to a whopping 188 years old.
6:54:14 > 6:54:17She just comes out for a little bit during the day,
6:54:17 > 6:54:19or if the sun is shining.
6:54:19 > 6:54:21But then she has to go back in the warm at the moment.
6:54:21 > 6:54:25She is actually now looking to tuck herself up somewhere.
6:54:25 > 6:54:26She'll probably go under that bush.
6:54:26 > 6:54:28Well, if she's looking for somewhere
6:54:28 > 6:54:31to go for a sleep, shall we get her inside before she gets too cosy?
6:54:31 > 6:54:35- I think that would be a good idea. - Don't get too cosy yet!
6:54:35 > 6:54:38Leo, let's take her somewhere warmer, you lead the way.
6:54:38 > 6:54:41We know how popular Shelley is with you all
6:54:41 > 6:54:44because of the amount of post we receive about her.
6:54:44 > 6:54:47I particularly like this one from Isaac in Yorkshire.
6:54:47 > 6:54:51He says he loves Shelley because she reminds him of his gran.
6:54:51 > 6:54:53Isaac, I don't think she will thank you for that, somehow.
6:54:53 > 6:54:56As it is still too cold for Shelley to spend very long outdoors,
6:54:56 > 6:55:02she is spending much of her day in a heated box called a vivarium.
6:55:02 > 6:55:05Tortoises generally like to eat garden weeds,
6:55:05 > 6:55:08and on the menu for Shelley today are Dandelion leaves.
6:55:08 > 6:55:10Leo, we know our viewers love Shelley, we get pictures like this
6:55:10 > 6:55:12all the time, so we have shrunk them
6:55:12 > 6:55:14down to Shelley's size, and I thought we could put them
6:55:14 > 6:55:16in Shelley's little summer home.
6:55:16 > 6:55:19- Yes, that would be OK.- Do you think she will like them?- Yes.
6:55:19 > 6:55:22Right, I'm going to put this one in the back there, and this one in...
6:55:22 > 6:55:25Here you go, Shelley.
6:55:25 > 6:55:29Aww, a little bit of decoration to keep her entertained
6:55:29 > 6:55:32while she's in there keeping warm.
6:55:32 > 6:55:35If you have sent something in for Shelley, thank you very much.
6:55:35 > 6:55:37As you can see, I think she's quite into them,
6:55:37 > 6:55:39she will be in a few hours, anyway.
6:55:39 > 6:55:42Leo, Marina, thank you so much for looking after her as always.
6:55:42 > 6:55:44She looks in great form.
6:55:45 > 6:55:48We absolutely love it when you send things in for Shelley.
6:55:48 > 6:55:51We love the home-made presents that you make for her.
6:55:51 > 6:55:55This was made by Rachel in County Antrim, it's a teeny,
6:55:55 > 6:55:56tiny, mini Shelley.
6:55:56 > 6:55:59It's a beautiful thing. Shelley also stars in her own story,
6:55:59 > 6:56:02courtesy of Sophie Curry, who called it Super Shelley and The Cookie.
6:56:02 > 6:56:04This isn't our Cookie, not the cat.
6:56:04 > 6:56:08She's illustrated all the pictures herself. Thank you, it's brilliant.
6:56:08 > 6:56:10Thank you very much for everything you send in,
6:56:10 > 6:56:11we love getting post, don't we?
6:56:11 > 6:56:14It's such a nice thing to open, because you're so creative,
6:56:14 > 6:56:15thank you for that.
6:56:15 > 6:56:17We also love announcing competition winners,
6:56:17 > 6:56:20and it is time now to announce the winner of the Wimbledon
6:56:20 > 6:56:21poster competition.
6:56:21 > 6:56:26The idea was for you to design the official Wimbledon poster for 2013.
6:56:26 > 6:56:30We had over 3,000 entries and there were some rules.
6:56:30 > 6:56:33The rules were very simple, you had to include the word Wimbledon,
6:56:33 > 6:56:35also the date so that people know when to go,
6:56:35 > 6:56:3924 June to 7 July 2013, and you had to include the three
6:56:39 > 6:56:42colours of Wimbledon, green, purple and white.
6:56:42 > 6:56:44The standards were absolutely amazing.
6:56:44 > 6:56:47Just have a look at this board over here.
6:56:47 > 6:56:49We've got the top 30 entries all on this board,
6:56:49 > 6:56:51you might have seen yours by now, I hope you have.
6:56:51 > 6:56:54If you want to have a closer look at these, then,
6:56:54 > 6:56:58there will be a gallery on the website of the top 30.
6:57:00 > 6:57:02You never let us down, they're so brilliant.
6:57:02 > 6:57:05But don't head to the website just yet, because now it is time
6:57:05 > 6:57:09to announce the winners of the individual age categories.
6:57:09 > 6:57:14Yes, the winner of the 6-8 year old age category is...
6:57:18 > 6:57:20Pria Erdley, who is eight!
6:57:20 > 6:57:22TRUMPET FANFARE
6:57:22 > 6:57:25This is Pria's design, congratulations, Pria.
6:57:25 > 6:57:28Pria was saying she wasn't too sure about drawing the circles free hand,
6:57:28 > 6:57:30so she used a compass to achieve that design.
6:57:30 > 6:57:33It's a brilliant character and does everything it says on the tin.
6:57:33 > 6:57:34Well done, Pria.
6:57:34 > 6:57:36OK, moving on,
6:57:36 > 6:57:41to announce the winner of the 9 to 11 year old category...
6:57:41 > 6:57:42(I love this bit!)
6:57:42 > 6:57:45The winner is Bethany O'Dell. Congratulations, this is her design.
6:57:45 > 6:57:46TRUMPET FANFARE
6:57:46 > 6:57:48Well done, Bethany.
6:57:48 > 6:57:53Now, Bethany used a sweet potato to create the tennis ball there,
6:57:53 > 6:57:54so well done, Bethany.
6:57:54 > 6:57:56That is sweet.
6:57:56 > 6:57:57Sorry!
6:57:57 > 6:57:59Right, onto the final category.
6:57:59 > 6:58:03In the 12 to 14-year-old category, the winner is...
6:58:07 > 6:58:09Jennifer McDowell, who's 12.
6:58:09 > 6:58:11TRUMPET FANFARE
6:58:11 > 6:58:14It's so exciting to talk about, because, don't forget,
6:58:14 > 6:58:16one of these people will have their poster made,
6:58:16 > 6:58:18and you can see the amount of work that
6:58:18 > 6:58:20has gone into the design from Jennifer.
6:58:20 > 6:58:22Little individual bits of paper, that have been cut
6:58:22 > 6:58:25out of newspapers or individual parts of paper and stuck together.
6:58:25 > 6:58:27A lot of glue was used there,
6:58:27 > 6:58:29and it is absolutely worthy of a winner's position.
6:58:29 > 6:58:30Congratulations.
6:58:30 > 6:58:32That must have taken ages!
6:58:32 > 6:58:36Now, the top 30 will get themselves one of these,
6:58:36 > 6:58:39an orange competition winner's Blue Peter badge,
6:58:39 > 6:58:43so congratulations to all of you, if you made it into the top 30.
6:58:43 > 6:58:46The two runners-up will also get a Wimbledon goody bag.
6:58:46 > 6:58:49But the overall winner gets something very exciting -
6:58:49 > 6:58:50tickets to watch
6:58:50 > 6:58:53a game at Centre Court, at Wimbledon and, of course,
6:58:53 > 6:58:56the ultimate prize, to see their design, as a poster,
6:58:56 > 6:58:59all over the tournament, so let's not eke it out any longer,
6:58:59 > 6:59:03let's announce the overall winner for the Wimbledon competition 2013.
6:59:03 > 6:59:07I'm delighted to say that the winner is...
6:59:09 > 6:59:11Pria!
6:59:11 > 6:59:14Pria Erdley is with us in the studio.
6:59:14 > 6:59:16Come on in, Pria.
6:59:16 > 6:59:19- Congratulations.- Thanks. - Well done, you.
6:59:19 > 6:59:22Hello, smiler, take a look at that!
6:59:22 > 6:59:25That is your official poster for Wimbledon 2013. How're you feeling?
6:59:25 > 6:59:29Happy. I didn't think I was going to win.
6:59:29 > 6:59:32How did you come up with this design?
6:59:32 > 6:59:35I knew you couldn't draw any particular tennis players,
6:59:35 > 6:59:38so I just thought to do a tennis ball man.
6:59:38 > 6:59:41It's such a great design and a brilliant character,
6:59:41 > 6:59:44in fact, you can hold that, because officially, it is the winner.
6:59:44 > 6:59:46Let's have a round of applause for Pria, what an amazing design.
6:59:46 > 6:59:48Thanks for getting involved.
6:59:48 > 6:59:50Thanks to everybody who got involved.
6:59:50 > 6:59:53Now, though, every time I show this...
6:59:53 > 6:59:54OOHS AND AAHS!
6:59:54 > 6:59:56Awww!
6:59:56 > 6:59:59..yes, that noise happens, in fact, how do you feel about this,
6:59:59 > 7:00:01- why do you think when I show you this?- That is so cute.
7:00:01 > 7:00:04- It's gorgeous, isn't it? - I love it so much, play it again.
7:00:04 > 7:00:07- Why don't we just play the entire film?- Oh, all right then.
7:00:07 > 7:00:10It's a bit cute, get ready for this.
7:00:10 > 7:00:13We've just had one of the hardest winters.
7:00:13 > 7:00:19With temperatures as low as -12C, and snowdrifts bigger than cars.
7:00:19 > 7:00:21But now it's springtime,
7:00:21 > 7:00:24and it's finally getting warmer outside, which means it's
7:00:24 > 7:00:27the busiest time of year for sheep farmers, as lambs are born.
7:00:27 > 7:00:29I'm here to meet Gareth,
7:00:29 > 7:00:31a sheep farmer who is in the middle of lambing.
7:00:31 > 7:00:33I'm going to give him a hand on the farm.
7:00:33 > 7:00:37But it's not just Gareth I'm seeing, I'm also meeting Micro Lamb.
7:00:37 > 7:00:40She's being kept in Gareth's house because she is so small,
7:00:40 > 7:00:42she wouldn't have survived the cold weather.
7:00:42 > 7:00:44This is the smallest lamb I have ever seen.
7:00:44 > 7:00:46She has grown quite a lot
7:00:46 > 7:00:48since when she was first-born over a couple of weeks ago now,
7:00:48 > 7:00:51but yes, very small, very sweet, very tiny,
7:00:51 > 7:00:53and that is why we've brought her in, to keep
7:00:53 > 7:00:56her warm and dry and safe, and to help her grow.
7:00:56 > 7:00:57You affectionately call her Micro Lamb?
7:00:57 > 7:00:59It's descriptive, isn't it?
7:00:59 > 7:01:02- There's nothing else required!- She's gorgeous, look at that little smile.
7:01:02 > 7:01:04So, what do you want to start with today?
7:01:04 > 7:01:07- First job is we'll feed this young lady. So if I give you...- Sure.
7:01:07 > 7:01:11..her, and then there's a bottle of milk. And she will...
7:01:11 > 7:01:17Oh, you can feel her little heartbeat going. Hello, gorgeous.
7:01:17 > 7:01:23Oh, I see, now that might just be the cutest thing ever.
7:01:23 > 7:01:26Do you do this with all your lambs?
7:01:26 > 7:01:29It's only the ones that have had problems with their mothers, or,
7:01:29 > 7:01:32like her, have been too small and weak to suckle in the first place.
7:01:32 > 7:01:35She's thirsty. Good girl, was that nice?
7:01:35 > 7:01:38Do I have to roll over and burp her now?
7:01:38 > 7:01:40Gareth is just 22.
7:01:40 > 7:01:44He decided to become a farmer when he was 17, even though
7:01:44 > 7:01:46his family aren't in the business.
7:01:46 > 7:01:52He sold his games console and bought six sheep, and now he has 450!
7:01:52 > 7:01:55Our first job on the farm is to check the pregnant ewes,
7:01:55 > 7:01:59and you never know, we might even get to see a lamb being born.
7:01:59 > 7:02:02Oh, good, they're glad to see us.
7:02:02 > 7:02:05This is the lambing shed, so the ones in the front here are still
7:02:05 > 7:02:09waiting to give birth, but it doesn't look likely at the moment...
7:02:09 > 7:02:11How'd you know they are going to give birth?
7:02:11 > 7:02:14They're often off by themselves, slightly quiet, they don't
7:02:14 > 7:02:17really interact with us, they want their space and peace and quiet.
7:02:17 > 7:02:19Sure, you see, this is why it's good to be a farmer,
7:02:19 > 7:02:23because if you come in on a day like today, expecting ewes to give
7:02:23 > 7:02:27birth and they don't, then, surely it's just a day off, isn't it?
7:02:27 > 7:02:29I wish it was. We have got plenty of jobs for you to do,
7:02:29 > 7:02:31we will start with some feeding up, I think.
7:02:31 > 7:02:34'Well, I did ask for this. That will teach me to be clever.'
7:02:34 > 7:02:36Oh, don't do that.
7:02:36 > 7:02:39'We're dishing out fodder beet, a type of root vegetable.'
7:02:39 > 7:02:43Ensuring there is water, and preparing the barn.
7:02:43 > 7:02:44Oh, that's heavy.
7:02:44 > 7:02:46Only kidding!
7:02:47 > 7:02:50So, this one's about three or four days old, you can
7:02:50 > 7:02:52see the size difference to Micro Lamb.
7:02:52 > 7:02:55- Yes, well, Micro's two and a bit weeks old.- Yes, about that.
7:02:55 > 7:02:58Oh, Micro Lamb really is titchy.
7:02:58 > 7:03:01Finally, we're off to check on Gareth's sheep in the fields of
7:03:01 > 7:03:05North Yorkshire, but first, I try my hand at calling them in towards us.
7:03:05 > 7:03:10Come here, sheep. Sheep! Over here!
7:03:10 > 7:03:13Nothing.
7:03:13 > 7:03:16Come up! Come on!
7:03:16 > 7:03:19Eventually they heard us, and came flocking.
7:03:19 > 7:03:21All sheep accounted for in this field,
7:03:21 > 7:03:25but none are quite as cute as Micro Lamb.
7:03:26 > 7:03:28I'm trying to find different things to say
7:03:28 > 7:03:31when you watch one of our films, but I always say, "I want one,"
7:03:31 > 7:03:34even if it's a bike, or a car, or a Micro Lamb, I want one.
7:03:34 > 7:03:35I used to have one!
7:03:35 > 7:03:37I had a little pet lamb called Little,
7:03:37 > 7:03:40- and my brother had one called Large. - Nice. They're so cute.
7:03:40 > 7:03:42- It wasn't a joke, we actually did. - I believe you.
7:03:42 > 7:03:44It's been an exciting day already,
7:03:44 > 7:03:46but now, we're going to up the ante even more.
7:03:46 > 7:03:50We're going to attempt to set a new world record right here,
7:03:50 > 7:03:53live, in the studio. I see we, that's really down to you, Matti!
7:03:53 > 7:03:56Matti, we saw what you are capable of earlier on,
7:03:56 > 7:03:58you were flatland BMXing outside, which is where you got Helen
7:03:58 > 7:04:01to have a go, now you're going to do something very different.
7:04:01 > 7:04:03You already hold a world record for the most
7:04:03 > 7:04:05amount of cliff-hangers?
7:04:05 > 7:04:08Cliff-hanger spins, with my foot on the handlebars, no hands.
7:04:08 > 7:04:11OK, which is just an everyday thing, isn't it, if you ride a BMX!
7:04:11 > 7:04:15But now you're going to attempt to get the most...
7:04:19 > 7:04:21- Yes.- Excellent. I didn't even read that!
7:04:21 > 7:04:23It was on the screen, but I didn't see one word of it.
7:04:23 > 7:04:27- So, 30 or more to set the new world record.- Yes, that's right.
7:04:27 > 7:04:31- How are you feeling?- Nervous. - Don't worry. We believe in you.
7:04:31 > 7:04:33It's the best nervous smile I've seen for a while,
7:04:33 > 7:04:35- you look quietly confident, as well.- Yes, hopefully.
7:04:35 > 7:04:37Let's see what happens, it's not far away now.
7:04:37 > 7:04:40I know three people who do believe in you, come this way.
7:04:40 > 7:04:43Let me introduce you to three young BMXers. Are you all right, guys?
7:04:43 > 7:04:47This is Adam, Medina and Adam. Now, you guys race BMXs.
7:04:47 > 7:04:48In fact, you're going
7:04:48 > 7:04:51to be racing this weekend at the Supercross World Cup in Manchester.
7:04:51 > 7:04:52How are you feeling about that?
7:04:52 > 7:04:56I'm really excited, but scared as well
7:04:56 > 7:05:01because when you're at the top of the hill you just feel
7:05:01 > 7:05:04lots of adrenaline and you just want to go for it.
7:05:04 > 7:05:07- Because that gate drops so you must know how he's feeling.- Yes.
7:05:07 > 7:05:09You're going to cheer him on loads, aren't you?
7:05:09 > 7:05:11- Do you guys think he can do it?- Yes.
7:05:11 > 7:05:12- Yes.- Course he can.
7:05:12 > 7:05:16Right, a world record attempt does obviously need an official,
7:05:16 > 7:05:19so, we have our adjudicator from Guinness World Records.
7:05:19 > 7:05:24Jack, what does Matti need to do to get this new record?
7:05:24 > 7:05:27Matti will need to complete a minimum of 30 spins in order for this
7:05:27 > 7:05:31- to be a successful Guinness World Record attempt.- OK.
7:05:31 > 7:05:34We're nervous for you, but it's going to be fine!
7:05:34 > 7:05:37Matti just did the biggest, "Phhrrrrr," you've ever seen.
7:05:37 > 7:05:38- Are you ready, Matti?- Yes.
7:05:38 > 7:05:40OK, your minute will start as soon as you
7:05:40 > 7:05:42take your hands off the handlebars.
7:05:42 > 7:05:44In your own time, mate, it's all yours. Good luck.
7:05:44 > 7:05:45Good luck, Matti.
7:05:55 > 7:05:58Look at that!
7:05:58 > 7:06:01OK, the clock has started, Matti.
7:06:04 > 7:06:06Well done, Matti!
7:06:06 > 7:06:09MUSIC: "Feel The Love" by Rudimental
7:06:13 > 7:06:15You're doing really well, mate.
7:06:28 > 7:06:3030 seconds gone, mate.
7:06:33 > 7:06:38MUSIC: "Feel The Love" by Rudimental
7:06:46 > 7:06:49Keep it up, mate, ten seconds left.
7:06:49 > 7:06:54Eight, seven, six, five, four... Oh!
7:06:54 > 7:06:57Oh-ho-ho!
7:06:57 > 7:06:58With only a few seconds to go.
7:06:58 > 7:07:01What does that actually mean? What happens,
7:07:01 > 7:07:03does that mean that it's not happened if he's fallen off?
7:07:03 > 7:07:05It is within the minute,
7:07:05 > 7:07:08so we will just need to check back to see how many spins Matti completed.
7:07:08 > 7:07:11OK, so we will count up the spins that Matti has done.
7:07:11 > 7:07:14You were doing so well, we were so nervous for you.
7:07:14 > 7:07:15I was getting a little bit dizzy.
7:07:15 > 7:07:18You did so well, and with only a few seconds to go,
7:07:18 > 7:07:20if you go and review the footage, Jack,
7:07:20 > 7:07:22and we'll let you know how Matti got on
7:07:22 > 7:07:24in a bit, but now, we like to always find out
7:07:24 > 7:07:26about what you get up to in your spare time,
7:07:26 > 7:07:28and we're now going to find out the story about
7:07:28 > 7:07:31Finlay, who is actually a stand-up comedian at just 14 years old.
7:07:31 > 7:07:32Here's his story.
7:07:32 > 7:07:35- I'm hugging Matti. You did so well.- Well done.
7:07:45 > 7:07:48Ladies and gentlemen...
7:07:48 > 7:07:51oh, wait, those are the toilets.
7:07:51 > 7:07:54Ladies and gentlemen...
7:07:54 > 7:07:57Hi, I'm Finlay Christie, and I'm an aspiring stand-up comedian.
7:07:57 > 7:07:59This is what it's like being me.
7:07:59 > 7:08:03I always wanted to be a stand-up comedian, I love making people laugh.
7:08:03 > 7:08:05Just ask my brother.
7:08:05 > 7:08:08So he's on the train, and he's got his salad,
7:08:08 > 7:08:11but he doesn't have anything to eat it with. He doesn't have a fork, OK?
7:08:11 > 7:08:15So, he has to go up to the...
7:08:17 > 7:08:21Sorry, are these jokes not interesting enough?
7:08:21 > 7:08:25Well, most of the time I make people laugh, it's a tough crowd today.
7:08:25 > 7:08:29My style of comedy is observational, so, things in my life, around me,
7:08:29 > 7:08:33that I think are funny, I write them down. It can be anything.
7:08:33 > 7:08:36Do you ever creep around the house at night
7:08:36 > 7:08:38and you hear your mum coming down the stairs
7:08:38 > 7:08:41and you just freeze and you think she'll just walk right past you.
7:08:41 > 7:08:45"Oh, when did this statue of my son get here?"
7:08:46 > 7:08:50Comedy is varied, there are so many different styles,
7:08:50 > 7:08:53like one-liners, such as, "History - don't worry about it, it's all in
7:08:53 > 7:08:58"the past," and improv, and sketches, the list just goes on and on.
7:08:59 > 7:09:02So, I want to show you guys how you can become a stand-up by answering
7:09:02 > 7:09:05some of your questions. Cheers.
7:09:05 > 7:09:09OK, posted by SilverWhizzingVampire.
7:09:09 > 7:09:12I first started when I was seven years old, and we were in a different
7:09:12 > 7:09:15theatre, loads of different people, so much has changed since then.
7:09:15 > 7:09:19A posting by GreenRugbySparrow -
7:09:19 > 7:09:23I think it was probably John Hegley when I was very little,
7:09:23 > 7:09:25this guy called John Hegley, he was a funny poet,
7:09:25 > 7:09:28used to tell all sorts of funny poems and he sort of got me into comedy.
7:09:28 > 7:09:30OK, enough of the questions for now,
7:09:30 > 7:09:33I want to show you a place that's helped me learn loads about comedy.
7:09:33 > 7:09:36The Comedy For Kids workshop is all about comedy for kids.
7:09:36 > 7:09:39No rude jokes, just lots of laughs.
7:09:39 > 7:09:41We do activities like improv, sketches,
7:09:41 > 7:09:44and we also get to try some of our own material.
7:09:44 > 7:09:47If you can't teach, teach PE.
7:09:47 > 7:09:50There's always someone to give me pointers in the workshop,
7:09:50 > 7:09:51like Isabel.
7:09:51 > 7:09:54What's the best advice for someone who wants to become
7:09:54 > 7:09:55- a comedian?- Try and be funny.
7:09:55 > 7:09:57It seems ridiculous,
7:09:57 > 7:10:01but... what makes you laugh and then do that,
7:10:01 > 7:10:04and then hopefully other people will also find it funny,
7:10:04 > 7:10:05but you need to enjoy yourself.
7:10:05 > 7:10:08OK, so you've got some questions for me.
7:10:08 > 7:10:13Posted by AmberSpinningDeer -
7:10:13 > 7:10:15A piece of lettuce came up to me on the street the other day.
7:10:15 > 7:10:19He said, "You look great."
7:10:19 > 7:10:22I said, "Hey, thanks."
7:10:22 > 7:10:24It was a complimentary salad.
7:10:27 > 7:10:29The seats are beginning to fill.
7:10:29 > 7:10:33Always good to practise before I perform.
7:10:33 > 7:10:36So it's easy to let nerves get the better of you when you're
7:10:36 > 7:10:39performing, but to take my mind off it I will do some of your questions.
7:10:39 > 7:10:41Posted by SilverSpikyDove -
7:10:45 > 7:10:47Usually I laugh, that really helps.
7:10:47 > 7:10:50When you laugh, when they don't laugh,
7:10:50 > 7:10:52they tend to laugh about your laughing.
7:10:52 > 7:10:55Posted by SunStoneMiniDaisy -
7:10:59 > 7:11:03Well, you're about to find out. OK, let's go.
7:11:03 > 7:11:05APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
7:11:08 > 7:11:12There's been a lot of stuff in the news recently about bad stuff
7:11:12 > 7:11:17being hidden in school dinners, like horsemeat in burgers.
7:11:17 > 7:11:22But that's nothing compared to what I found in my burger the other day.
7:11:22 > 7:11:24I found...
7:11:24 > 7:11:27traces of...
7:11:27 > 7:11:28salad.
7:11:31 > 7:11:34FUNNY VOICE: Hello!
7:11:34 > 7:11:36LAUGHTER
7:11:38 > 7:11:42Come on, they call their perfume, no word of a lie,
7:11:42 > 7:11:44"ugh de toilet."
7:11:46 > 7:11:48Eau...
7:11:48 > 7:11:50de toilette!
7:11:53 > 7:11:55Give him a big hand, ladies and gentlemen.
7:11:55 > 7:11:57Finlay! Awesome!
7:11:58 > 7:12:01I got lots of laughs from the audience, hopefully I got a lot
7:12:01 > 7:12:03of laughs from you at home and
7:12:03 > 7:12:05I've inspired you to write some jokes of your own.
7:12:05 > 7:12:07I'm looking at you, Barney.
7:12:07 > 7:12:10Thanks, Finlay, well, it's no secret that I am rubbish at jokes,
7:12:10 > 7:12:13but if, like me, you would like to be an aspiring comedian
7:12:13 > 7:12:15and find out how funny you can be, head over to our website,
7:12:15 > 7:12:20Finlay has left some top tips there on how to be a comedian.
7:12:20 > 7:12:22Thanks, Finlay.
7:12:22 > 7:12:25We are anxiously waiting to see if Matti has set a new world record.
7:12:25 > 7:12:28Jack, our official adjudicator over there is
7:12:28 > 7:12:30counting, to see
7:12:30 > 7:12:32if he has done enough spins. We'll find out in a second,
7:12:32 > 7:12:35but before we do that there's time to share some of your e-mails.
7:12:35 > 7:12:38We asked you at the start of the show... Have you got a good one?
7:12:38 > 7:12:40Harvey wants to bring medieval stocks back,
