Episode 14 Epic Quick Blast

Welcome to the world of Epic.

Sit back, strap yourself in

and get ready to become EPIC AT EVERYTHING!

Welcome to your quick blast of epicness.

So, what are we waiting for? Let's do this!

First up, if you want to make your own gummy worms,

then keep watching.

OK, now, for this recipe,

you're going to need four tablespoons of gelatine...

..or orange juice or whatever flavour you would like.

Cola, please.

Right, now let's make the gummy worms.

So, this is gelatine. This is what makes the gummy.

Water goes into the gelatine.

Pour enough in just to cover the gelatine.

Now, get your sugar and a pan and pour it in.

And then add the glucose.

Now, with a little bit of help from some more water...

..all we need to do now is cook it - uh-huh.

Obviously, get an adult to help here.

I don't want you burning yourself.

Now, we just want to warm it up - that's all we're doing, OK?

Bish-bash-bosh - done.

OK, now we're going to put it all together.

So, in with your cola, as I'm using.

Then the gelatine.

And then for the colouring...

I'm using blue, cos I'm a Chelsea supporter.

Now all we have to do is put the mixture into the dish.

Wow!

We need to put them in the fridge for an hour.

OK, an hour has passed. Time to get your gummy worms out.

How do we know if they're ready? Hm...

Yeah, they're ready. Let's go.

-Get one of these...

-A spatula.

..and start scraping away and releasing it.

Then you pop it onto the chopping board...

..and then start cutting up your worms.

Again, get your adult back for this -

no slicing your hands on my watch.

We know what a worms looks like - long and wiggly.

And blue.

Sprinkle some sugar - beautiful.

Your dentist is going to love this one.

Sugar's on. Now we just have to pop 'em onto a plate.

And that, my dears, is how you make gummy worms.

Oh, yeah!

Cheers, Aaron. Right, do you like money?

Yes, stupid question - of course you do.

Well, here's an epic tip

on how to get the most out of your wonderful wonga.

Hi, guys - I'm Ricky and I'm going to show you

how to spend your pocket money wisely.

No biggie - it's because I care.

The average amount of pocket money children in the UK get per week

is more than £5.

Woo-hoo! Loaded.

Quite a lot, isn't it? Well, not if you're spending without thinking.

So here are a few tips to make sure you can save when you're spending.

Always shop around.

Also, always make sure you check how much something is

per 100ml or per 100g.

I'll give you an example.

It might be cheaper to buy an individual can of cola

than it is a multipack - you see, at this well-known supermarket,

an individual can will set you back 12.5p per 100ml

whereas the multipack is almost 18 pence.

OK. Look at the little number, not the big number - got it.

And that's how you can be good with your money.

Thanks, Ricky. So, onto the next, and I've got a question for you.

Do you like javelins? Do you like Olympians?

Do you want to throw a javelin like an Olympian?

Then listen up.

Hi - I'm Katarina Johnson-Thompson. I'm an Olympic athlete

and here's how to throw a javelin.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson is a legend-in-waiting.

She competed alongside Jessica Ennis in the Olympic heptathlon

and has been tipped for glory in Rio in 2016.

When it comes to throwing a javelin like a pro...

..there is no-one better to learn the basics from.

OK, Katarina - why don't you tell us

exactly how we should grip our javelin?

I throw it with my right hand, which is my writing hand.

I grip the banding with my thumb at the top of the groove.

Nice one, Katarina - keep it "groovy" for the perfect hold.

Right, before we think about running and throwing,

let's kick off with a few standing throws.

Tell us more, javelin lady.

To get into a good javelin position,

you have to draw your arm back with a straight arm,

javelin above your shoulder.

Throw through the point so the javelin stays straight.

Got that? OK, let's take it up a gear

by adding a simple three-step run into the mix.

When you've mastered the standing throw,

then you progress to three steps, that'll give it more distance.

I like to get my rhythm by counting to three.

So it's like this...

One, two-three.

It all looks pretty easy when Katarina does it,

but once you've got that mastered,

it's time to do things Olympic-style.

Finally, you progress to seven steps

which is what I did at the Olympics,

and your javelin throwing should look like this.

Ooh! Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

Nope - it's Katarina's mighty javelin.

See how it soars!

And that was how to throw a javelin.

Thanks, Katarina.

So, there you have it - your quick blast of epicness.

Now, go forth and be epic...AT EVERYTHING!
