0:00:02 > 0:00:05Ah, goodie, Blue Peter!

0:00:05 > 0:00:10Hello and welcome to this live Blue Peter special on global warming.

0:00:10 > 0:00:15- Hello, Konnie.- The usually freezing Arctic is sweltering.

0:00:15 > 0:00:20Now this topsy-turvy global warming has reached Great Britain.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Even Shelley has gone into hibernation a little bit early.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29Or perhaps somewhere a bit warmer.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Stupid tortoise.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35The Weather Bureau says it looks set to get even colder.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39Yes, much much colder!

0:00:39 > 0:00:42EVIL LAUGHTER

0:00:43 > 0:00:47The 21st century faces a new kind of threat.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51The old-school spies have had their day and MI9 must create a new breed

0:00:51 > 0:00:53of skilled undercover agent.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hidden in a place no villain will think to look...

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Welcome to MI High.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Look, Stew, I'm sorry we haven't been hanging out a lot lately,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26- but I've had stuff to do.- Like what?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Hey, nice fit!

0:01:28 > 0:01:32"How recycling can help slow global warming"?

0:01:32 > 0:01:36So you CAN read! It's a geography project.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40If global warming's so big, why is it summer and I'm freezing?

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Global warming doesn't just mean it'll get hotter.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46The weather's getting messed up, and you want to know why?

0:01:46 > 0:01:51All I know is that scarves do nothing for my neckline.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Some people care about more than how they look.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Yeah, you, obviously.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I'm glad you three found each other.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04At least we know why you're in THAT group.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- No project's worth looking this dumb.- Know how bad my grades are?

0:02:12 > 0:02:17- If I don't do something big, I'll be held back a year.- Want something big?

0:02:17 > 0:02:21How about we prove who's really behind global warming?

0:02:22 > 0:02:23The Government!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yes, Mr Flatley.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29I think I've found that frozen pipe you was talking about.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'll have it fixed in no time, sir.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38After more pressing matters.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Why do you think the Government bangs on about pollution?- It's bad.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48They want us to think WE'RE causing global warming. See these antennae?

0:02:48 > 0:02:52The Government uses ones like them to blast the atmosphere.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55They want a flood? Bam! Drought? Bam!

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Conspiracy theory? Bam!

0:02:57 > 0:03:01This device will pick up any unusual readings in the atmosphere.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Then we can nail them.- Oi! Where's that money you owe me?

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- I don't owe you money. - "I don't owe you money."

0:03:09 > 0:03:14- I say you do. Cough up!- Only reason we'd cough up is because of your BO.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Psycho Man and Captain Sad!

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Don't hurt me(!) Ha!

0:03:22 > 0:03:25What is that idiot's problem?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Blane?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Blane?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Things a bit frosty?

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Shut up, Blane.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19This jacket may be trendy, but it's not exactly thermal.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Team, listen up. We haven't got much time.- Morning, Lenny.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28- How's your day been(?)- MI9 has detected freak weather conditions.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Droughts in Paris, snow in Dubai. It's causing chaos.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37But today's drastic drop in temperature is a phenomenon.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41The thermometer is now reading a toe-numbing minus 10.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49Someone at the Weather Bureau may be conducting climate control projects.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52The people who predict the weather?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56We sent an agent to investigate, but he was found last night...

0:04:56 > 0:04:59frozen solid.

0:05:04 > 0:05:09So now you're sending US in to get popsiclised?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Do I look brainless?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Well...- I'm confident no-one will suspect you three.

0:05:14 > 0:05:19Your mission is to infiltrate the Weather Bureau, gather intelligence

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- on any secret projects.- Cool. What gadgets are we getting?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Here.

0:05:27 > 0:05:33Looks like a calculator. Actually a sophisticated code-breaker.

0:05:33 > 0:05:39And this. Just twist...and it'll radiate a thermal energy shield.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44But how do we get into the Weather Bureau without anyone noticing?

0:05:44 > 0:05:45Ah!

0:05:45 > 0:05:47I've organised the perfect cover.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55CHILDREN SHOUT

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Stay close and don't touch anything.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Don't worry. Monsoons, hurricanes, school trips -

0:06:03 > 0:06:06I've survived them all. Pay attention, everyone!

0:06:06 > 0:06:11Your visitors passes each have an electronic tag.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Wander too far and they explode. Welcome to the Weather Bureau.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'm Roger Powel, head of research,

0:06:18 > 0:06:22and this is my dogsbody, Sonya. If you'd like to follow me...

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Do you think this'll really explode?

0:06:27 > 0:06:32So...Mr Powel, how long do you think it'll be

0:06:32 > 0:06:35until we can change the weather?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38What a question!

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Let's just say that for now we're happy simply predicting it.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49Don't forget, boys and girls, the sunscreen. It's gonna be hot!

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Sonya Frost! I remember.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58She used to be a famous presenter on TV.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Looks like any other bimbo weather girl to me.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06- "I'm Rose. Good-looking people are stupid."- Daisy, we have a job to do.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10When I asked Roger Powel about the freaky weather, he was nervous.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14He must be hiding something. Here's the plan.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17'Blane, our first objective is to find Powel's office.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24'Daisy, keep Powel busy. Do not let him get past you

0:07:24 > 0:07:27'or I'll be in serious trouble.'

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Mr Powel...didn't your assistant used to be a weather girl?

0:07:31 > 0:07:35'That should give me and Blane enough time to retrieve evidence.'

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Wasn't Sonya the one who forecast light winds and the next day

0:07:59 > 0:08:03- there was this huge storm? - Yes, I believe she was.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Although, talking of famous, I'm on the cover

0:08:06 > 0:08:10of this month's What Meteorologist magazine, would you believe?

0:08:10 > 0:08:14I've got a copy in my office if you'd care to have a look.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16- OK, whatever.- Great!

0:08:17 > 0:08:20No, wait!

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Hey, Mr Powel, is that yours?

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Yes, that's my Nobel prize nomination.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54- I was present at the award ceremony last year.- Runner-up.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56That's just like losing, huh?

0:09:10 > 0:09:13It was a simple plan, Daisy.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Yeah, involving you and Blane! I know you think I'm useless.

0:09:17 > 0:09:23The last agent got turned into an ice cube! Keep your mind on the job.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29It won't have hurt her - we got her in the head!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Man, it's cold in here!

0:09:35 > 0:09:38In more ways than one.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43Freezing summer temperatures have now reached minus 20.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Heating bills are at an all-time high, so we've decided

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- to launch an appeal... - Crippling the economy.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Clever.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57Whoever's behind this freak weather clearly knows what they're doing.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01If Roger Powel is up to something, hopefully it's on these disks.

0:10:01 > 0:10:06Check this out. It says that before Sonya Frost became a weather girl

0:10:06 > 0:10:10- she studied physics at Oxford University.- Clever for a dogsbody!

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Nice! magazine? How clever do you have to be to date a footballer?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Don't you think that's interesting?

0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Daisy, if you won't help me, let Blane.- I was checking to see if...

0:10:22 > 0:10:25You know what? Forget it.

0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Daisy!- Don't worry. We'll call her if the world runs out of hairspray.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38All is going to plan.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Our ultimate weapon is throwing Britain into panic.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Continue the big freeze.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46EVIL LAUGHTER

0:11:00 > 0:11:04- What are you doing? - Trying to speed up global warming.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07What do you think?!

0:11:09 > 0:11:13Great idea for a geography project, Blane(!)

0:11:15 > 0:11:20Well...I thought a recycling campaign was a great idea.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Stewart dressed as a bin man... not so great.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'm going to be held back a year!

0:11:28 > 0:11:33This project needs a good makeover, someone high profile to front it...

0:11:33 > 0:11:34- Oh!- What?

0:11:34 > 0:11:38I have just had the most brilliant idea.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Just a tiny rise in temperature over the ice caps

0:11:42 > 0:11:46will create floods and storms all around the world.

0:11:46 > 0:11:51- People must understand that global warming will...- Who is this woman?

0:11:51 > 0:11:52Sshh!

0:11:52 > 0:11:55She's been in Nice! magazine.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57The good news is

0:11:57 > 0:12:02recycling is just one thing we can all do to help.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04APPLAUSE

0:12:04 > 0:12:08We are SO going to get an A for this! Thanks, Daisy.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13She still didn't explain why it's snowing in June.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19It doesn't just happen. Not unless someone's making it happen.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, who IS making it happen?

0:12:24 > 0:12:27How come you're not on TV any more?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30I know there was that thing with the gale...

0:12:30 > 0:12:34The biggest gale this century. No-one at the Weather Bureau saw it coming.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39- The papers had to blame someone - the weather girl.- So they sacked you?

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- They never let me present the weather again.- That's so typical!

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- Just cos you're fantastic looking. - Do you think so?- Yeah.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50And you're a meteorologist, right? That's, like, SO clever!

0:12:50 > 0:12:54You wouldn't believe the stuff we're working on! There's...

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Excuse me. Sorry.

0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Excuse me.- Didn't you get the message? You didn't respond.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05There. Now I've responded.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Hey, Sonya...

0:13:07 > 0:13:12if I check with my teachers, could I come and interview you at work?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Of course!- Great!

0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Tell Rose we're doing bimbo stuff. - That's why girls shouldn't be spies.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Yes...

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Middle of summer, minus 22 degrees.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29And you've had to cancel your birthday barbecue? Blimey!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31That IS serious.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Don't worry...

0:13:33 > 0:13:36You can count on us.

0:13:38 > 0:13:43That was the head of MI9. The whole of Britain is frozen solid.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46I've decrypted the data we found at the Weather Bureau.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Roger Powel's definitely up to something. What are these?

0:13:50 > 0:13:54They look like antennae to blast the atmosphere with radio beams

0:13:54 > 0:13:58which bounce back and alter the weather in a target area.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02It's technical.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07- D-Do I have to? - Your head could channel

0:14:07 > 0:14:11the most significant scientific discovery this century!

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oi! What's that for?

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Um... For the magazine.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26And to put up in the common room.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Roger Powel's invented a weather machine.- We've got to stop him

0:14:31 > 0:14:34before he completely freezes Britain. Where is Daisy?

0:14:34 > 0:14:38She's kind of quit.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Thinks we don't need her. - Why would she think that?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45We had...words.

0:14:45 > 0:14:50- Then we need to implement a reconciliation strategy.- How?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53She's with Sonya, in the Weather Bureau.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58- She's in the same building as Powel? - Who's already frozen one MI9 agent!

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Can I help you?

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Oh, er...

0:15:19 > 0:15:22Mr Powel.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23I...

0:15:23 > 0:15:26I'm... I'm with Sonya.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Ah.

0:15:30 > 0:15:31Sonya.

0:15:31 > 0:15:36So you've got clearance to talk about our confidential work, I hear.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40- I didn't tell her anything.- I pay you to keep your mind on the job.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45Haven't you got work to do? I'll see this young lady out.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57I think we need to have a little chat, don't you?

0:15:59 > 0:16:01She's not answering!

0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Blane, what are you doing? - He was trying to freeze you!

0:16:30 > 0:16:35Mr Powel, we know you've invented a weather machine.

0:16:35 > 0:16:41Yes, that's right. I have. You might as well see it too, I suppose.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44May I?

0:16:44 > 0:16:48Thank you. Get behind the safety tank.

0:16:50 > 0:16:56Right, well, it's basically a mini weather manipulation system.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00These antennae emit a special ionising radio beam

0:17:00 > 0:17:04that can affect the atmosphere of the Earth.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06I can make it rain...

0:17:13 > 0:17:16..raise or lower the temperatures...

0:17:20 > 0:17:22I can even make lightning.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33Wow, you really should lose the Nobel prize more often!

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Yes, well...

0:17:35 > 0:17:40- I thought Daisy had come here to steal my idea.- Your idea?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Or Sonya's?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Sonya Frost,

0:18:23 > 0:18:25whose research into weather systems

0:18:25 > 0:18:29made her the most promising student at Oxford University,

0:18:29 > 0:18:32and Roger Powel... Just the one A-level?

0:18:32 > 0:18:35All right, all right.

0:18:35 > 0:18:40Sonya sort of...helped me design this, but what are you implying?

0:18:42 > 0:18:46As for this afternoon, I've got some good news!

0:18:46 > 0:18:49- That's our weather map! - We're finally going to see some sun!

0:18:49 > 0:18:53While most people expect the big summer freeze to continue,

0:18:53 > 0:18:56I confidently predict a heat wave

0:18:56 > 0:18:59at around...

0:18:59 > 0:19:01noon today.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04She's predicting a heat wave today?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08- Is she joking?- Not if she knows something we don't.

0:19:08 > 0:19:13We do apologise for that interruption from Sonya Frost.

0:19:13 > 0:19:18She's the one who told us that the gales were nothing to worry about.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22Still seems she's a bit barmy.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27What?!

0:19:27 > 0:19:32- Ah, Miss Frost!- What's going on? Why is it getting colder?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34There's been a change of plan.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36You promised we could make it hot!

0:19:36 > 0:19:40I just told the world to stock up on sun cream!

0:19:40 > 0:19:44Don't worry. If it's revenge you're after, you won't be disappointed.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Will she, General Flopsy?

0:19:49 > 0:19:54So she filmed the weather report. The evidence still points to Roger.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Can you track visitors from here? - Yes. You just have to...

0:19:58 > 0:20:01I dropped my pass into her bag.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05So you've got clearance to talk about our confidential work, I hear.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07I pay you to keep your mind on the job...

0:20:07 > 0:20:11That must be her, in the basement.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15I wasn't aware we had a basement.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20We appreciate your help, but in five minutes

0:20:20 > 0:20:23the whole country will be plunged into a new ice age.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Britain under my and General Flopsy's control.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31You're insane! The whole country will turn into an ice cap!

0:20:31 > 0:20:35There's a security code. The programme cannot be stopped.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38You promised I'd be famous again!

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Blondes!

0:20:53 > 0:20:57OK, I admit it - Sonya was the brains behind the weather machine,

0:20:57 > 0:21:02but to build one that would affect the weather would cost millions!

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Come on!

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Hey, that's mine!

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Aha!

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Oh!- Give me that.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Freeze!

0:21:37 > 0:21:38Cool!

0:21:38 > 0:21:43Daisy, you've got to help me. He's going to freeze Britain.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47- You worked for the Grand Master? - Yes.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54How l-l-long do we have to d-d-do this for?

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Till we have enough readings to prove it's the Government doing it.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02It's so cold my lips have turned blue.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Yeah, but blue is SO this season!

0:22:10 > 0:22:13So you've been investigating me all this time?

0:22:18 > 0:22:21Here, this will warm you up.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23A weather machine.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26You built a weather machine?!

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Under my office?!

0:22:28 > 0:22:33If it makes you feel better, I think it sucks you got taken off TV.

0:22:33 > 0:22:38I know how it feels to be blamed for something that wasn't your fault.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Hey, I cracked the security code!

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Is it me or is it getting hot in here?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Ow!

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Stupid thing!

0:23:04 > 0:23:08Hang on. The technical one can't use a computer?

0:23:08 > 0:23:12- Tell me again, why are you in this group?- Daisy, why don't you...

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Sonya, you have to help us. You designed this thing!- I don't know.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Daisy's right. Annoyingly. - If anyone can stop this...

0:23:50 > 0:23:54It's not working! The Grand Master must have altered the programme.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55The Grand who?

0:23:55 > 0:24:00Wait a minute. The antennae. If we could override them directly...

0:24:00 > 0:24:02He never told me where he built them.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06But to affect the weather all over the world they must be huge,

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- the size of...- The Eiffel Tower!

0:24:09 > 0:24:13- Where did Lenny say the freak weather hit?- Paris and Dubai?

0:24:13 > 0:24:17- He must have hidden the antennae there.- Have you all gone bonkers?

0:24:17 > 0:24:21Rose, plot the coordinates of tall structures in the affected countries.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24We can use one of the Weather Bureau satellites.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Oh, use one of the Weather Bureau satellites?

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy...

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Look, it's picking up signals.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38So what do we do now?

0:24:38 > 0:24:43We re-route the signals away from the weather machine to the satellite.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48It's working!

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Come on, answer!

0:25:02 > 0:25:06So all this freaky weather was our fault for not recycling?

0:25:12 > 0:25:16Blane, I've got enough information to prove the Government's behind it.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Call me when you can.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Where are the results?

0:25:32 > 0:25:36So, the Grand Master dude gave you cash to build this...

0:25:36 > 0:25:40And while he uses it to cause chaos you get to predict a heat wave.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44But he double-crosses you and does the whole ice age thing.

0:25:44 > 0:25:49I just wanted to show people I'm not stupid.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53Which is why I'm going to tell people this was your invention.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58And I hope it makes you famous, for all the right reasons.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59Great(!)

0:25:59 > 0:26:03If I win the Nobel prize, I can accept it from jail.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07What we're going to do is stick them onto

0:26:07 > 0:26:11our machine so far.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15There we go. Here's one I made a little bit earlier.

0:26:15 > 0:26:20Weather machines like this might actually exist in the future.

0:26:20 > 0:26:25Preventing a new ice age. Not bad for a day's work, eh?

0:26:25 > 0:26:29And the information Sonya supplied will keep her out of jail. Right?

0:26:29 > 0:26:35Yes. But don't expect to see her present Blue Peter any time soon!

0:26:36 > 0:26:38As for the Grand Master,

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Sonya couldn't tell us much about him, but what I do know is

0:26:42 > 0:26:45we're going to need every skill we've got to catch him.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48Physical ability, technical excellence

0:26:48 > 0:26:53and the kind of raw instincts that make us a team to be reckoned with.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Are you sure you can't get us out of things like...

0:26:56 > 0:26:59geography projects?

0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, you see, everybody's recycling.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, kind of.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Well...I'm impressed,

0:27:13 > 0:27:17but if you let your grades slip again

0:27:17 > 0:27:20I WILL bump you down a year.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24No problem. I'll get straight As AND save the world.

0:27:24 > 0:27:29Ha! Found it! Proof somebody is behind all that freaky weather.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33- That's your proof?- Yes, it's all here. Look!

0:27:33 > 0:27:36OK, Mr Conspiracy. Whatever.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41Hey... They'll be fine after they've dried out.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44You need to know the truth.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Blane! Rose!

0:27:49 > 0:27:51Anybody!
