0:00:19 > 0:00:22This story belongs to Kit and Grandma Janet.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29It's a tiny tale about Grandma Janet's life
0:00:29 > 0:00:31and the things she used to do.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36Kit and his Grandma Janet are playing pirates in the garden.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Ah, harrr!
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Hah!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I can catch up!
0:00:43 > 0:00:44THEY LAUGH
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Oh, no! You got me, little pirate! Shake hands on it!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Pirates don't shake hands. They shake hooks!
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Now, it's time for Grandma Janet to share her memories
0:01:04 > 0:01:07and take Kit on a journey of discovery.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09MUSIC: "Theme to Blue Peter"
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Grandma Janet has been making television programmes
0:01:12 > 0:01:14for children for a very long time.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18When she was a little girl, her family didn't even have a
0:01:18 > 0:01:21television set, because there were very few around.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25People sometimes went to a neighbour's house to
0:01:25 > 0:01:28watch their TV because they didn't have their own.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32When Janet was little, there were hardly any programmes for children,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35but one of the most popular was Andy Pandy.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Look at Andy, dancing with Teddy!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40When Janet got older, there were many more
0:01:40 > 0:01:44television programmes for children and she was very lucky to become
0:01:44 > 0:01:49a presenter on one of them and the show's name was Blue Peter.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51She had to do loads of different things
0:01:51 > 0:01:55when she was on Blue Peter and had lots of fun too.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Grandma Janet is talking to Kit about when she was on Blue Peter.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09When I was on Blue Peter, we did all sorts of different things
0:02:09 > 0:02:12so that we could show children what it was like to
0:02:12 > 0:02:15do things and make things. These are pictures of me
0:02:15 > 0:02:18when I was in the studio. Look at that!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Why do you think I'm wearing that orange suit?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- I wonder if the answer is...? - From a parachute!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28You're right! This book shows my parachute jump.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31This is me practising because you only get one chance,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33so I had lots of practice.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35This is practising falling over.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37This is practising jumping out.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41This is the practice jump out of this tower.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44This is one of the practice jumps Grandma Janet did with
0:02:44 > 0:02:46the help of lots of safety experts.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Wow! Isn't she brave?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Oh!
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Why did you jump out of that?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Because I thought it would be fun. Do you think it was?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58No!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It didn't look much fun to me either, Kit!
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Before Grandma Janet became a television presenter,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18she had lots of fun working as an actress pretending to be
0:03:18 > 0:03:20different characters.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Look! That's her there.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27'I had to pretend to be a princess in a programme called Jackanory
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'Then I was in a famous television programme called Doctor Who.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34'I got to wear lots of funny costumes in that.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38'Afterwards, I became a presenter on a programme called Jigsaw.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41'It was thanks to this show I was asked to become
0:03:41 > 0:03:45'one of the presenters on Blue Peter, which was a really big deal.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49'It was really exciting, but nerve-racking at the same time.'
0:03:49 > 0:03:51SOUND DIPPED
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Grandma Janet had to do lots of nerve-racking things on Blue Peter.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I wonder if they're going to have any adventures today?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Kit, can I tell you a story about when I was on Blue Peter
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and I had to hold a really big spider.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16What's the biggest spider you've seen?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- I've never seen a big spider! - This spider was...
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Hold out your hand.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It was...this big!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Look at Grandma Janet holding a spider on Blue Peter.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32She was really scared, but she had to act brave to show
0:04:32 > 0:04:35the children at home that they could be brave about things too.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Do you think you would be afraid of it?- No.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40You are the bravest person I know!
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Let's go to the jungle. Come on! Drive me.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Oh! What's that? A scary crocodile!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Kit and Grandma Janet are certainly going to have to act brave now.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What's that? What's that?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57A crocodile!
0:04:57 > 0:05:02OK, let's make brave faces and pretend that we are not scared.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Ready? Show me your brave face.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Woo! You look brave. Let's creep up on him.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Mind his scaly tail! Mind his foot!
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Mind his scaly body!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Ooh! Mind his huge mouth!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Let's see if we can actually...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30..touch him! We are so brave!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I think we should leave Mr Crocodile sleeping
0:05:33 > 0:05:38and I think we should creep away. Oh! Careful! Mind his scaly foot!
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- Bye-bye, Mr Crocodile! Say goodbye. - Bye-bye.- Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Bye-bye!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Acting is lots of fun
0:05:51 > 0:05:56and Grandma Janet sometimes has to act with just her voice.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Sometimes, I go into a recording studio
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- and do a voiceover. - A voiceover?- A voiceover!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09That's when it's just my voice.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I don't use anything else, so we use a microphone
0:06:12 > 0:06:14and headphones like you're wearing.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17One of the voices I do is a Mexican gerbil.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19What do you think it sounds like?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Let's hear Grandma Janet's Mexican gerbil now!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- MEXICAN ACCENT:- Pizza! One extra special pizza
0:06:25 > 0:06:28with olives, tomatoes and extra flies!
0:06:28 > 0:06:30ALL CHEER
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Doesn't she sound funny?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You can do all sorts of things into the microphone.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Bear, do you want to have a go? - SLOW:- Shall I have a go, Kit?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- SLOW VOICE:- Hello, I'm Mr Bear.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Do you think that's a bear's voice?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Yeah. - Do you want to say something now?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Monkey?- Hello.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51OK, Kit, Monkey, Bear listen carefully,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55because, you know that voice I made for Mr Bear, I think
0:06:55 > 0:06:59it's going to come back sounding a bit more bear-like. Listen!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- HIGH VOICE:- Hello, I'm Mr Bear.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- HIGHER VOICE:- Hello, I'm Mr Bear.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07A special machine is changing Grandma Janet's voice to make
0:07:07 > 0:07:09it sound even funnier.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Which do you think sounds more like a bear?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- SLOW:- Hello, I'm Mr Bear.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- HIGH:- Hello, I'm Mr Bear.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18SLOW: Hello, I'm Mr Bear!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Brilliant! You sound just like a bear.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Who's this?- Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29HIGH-PITCHED: Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Hello, I'm Mr...
0:07:30 > 0:07:35This special machine is changing Kit's voice now.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- Who was that?- Well, that was you!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43ECHOING: Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48(Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.)
0:07:48 > 0:07:50ECHOING: Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53There's more than one of you!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58SQUEAKY: Hello, I'm Mr Monkey.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Blue Peter has been on the BBC for a very long time,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11longer than any other children's programme...and, look!
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Here is Petra, the very first Blue Peter pet.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19And Kit and Grandma Janet have come to visit the new studio where
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Blue Peter is now made.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23MUSIC: "Theme From Blue Peter"
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Television studios have lots of special lights in the ceiling
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and big cameras like this to record the show.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Kit wants to know more about what Grandma Janet did
0:08:33 > 0:08:35when she was a presenter.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37What did you do in here, Grandma?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I did all sorts of things when I was in the Blue Peter studio.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46'Things like roller-skating. Can you imagine Grandma roller-skating?
0:08:46 > 0:08:49'Can you imagine if Grandma was a witch on a broomstick?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53'I dressed as a witch to fly into the studio.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55'Here I am walking Bonnie the dog.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59'We had pets on Blue Peter for children to share with us.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02'She's a puppy and I'm trying to teach her some
0:09:02 > 0:09:06'basic commands for dogs like how to sit, stay and "Lie down, Bonnie."
0:09:06 > 0:09:10'Look, here in this one, she's celebrating her first birthday
0:09:10 > 0:09:15'with a lovely big cake, but it's the sort made especially for dogs.'
0:09:15 > 0:09:18When Mummy was a little girl and I was on Blue Peter,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21she came into the studio.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- 'She wore a snood.- What is a snood?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27'A snood is a special sort of hat to keep you warm outside,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31'but the one your mummy wore was made out of a dishcloth!'
0:09:31 > 0:09:35And look, here is Kit's mummy again in the Blue Peter studio,
0:09:35 > 0:09:41not wearing a snood but singing. In fact, she's a pop star!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Grandma Janet made lots of other things on Blue Peter that
0:09:49 > 0:09:52children at home could learn to make too.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56She's going to show Kit how to a make a pirate's treasure map.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00OK, here is how we're going to make our treasure map.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02What do we need to make it? What's this?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Paper.- And what's that?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Tea bags.- And what's that?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08- Water.- Water.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Pens.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Ribbon!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14And this is Kit!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16That's all I need to make my map.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19The first thing we do is make our map look old and,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22weirdly enough, that's why I need the tea bag.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'm just going to get it a bit wet,
0:10:24 > 0:10:25and then...
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Start painting with it, because, as you can see,
0:10:29 > 0:10:33it begins to look a bit browner, a bit darker like paper does
0:10:33 > 0:10:36when it's been lying around for a while.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Do you want to have a go doing that? - Yeah.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Let me pass it over to you so you can have a go.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Just dab it very lightly on the paper.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Just move it around, that's it.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Yeah! What's your pirate name, Kit?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Pirate...?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52- Kit.- Pirate Kit!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56That's as good a name for a pirate as any.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00And that's lovely...OK. And because this one's got to dry before
0:11:00 > 0:11:03we can do any painting on it, I'm going to put it away,
0:11:03 > 0:11:07and give you one...that we made earlier.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Because this one has already had, look, all the tea on it
0:11:11 > 0:11:15to make it look old and now we can draw our map for treasure.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Can I do a map?- Of course you can.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Shall we draw an island?- Yeah.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Draw me a BIG island as big as you can on that paper.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Excellent, with lots of bays, places where we could park our boat
0:11:28 > 0:11:33when we're looking. That's super. Now, I think we need...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35..some trees on here. Don't you?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Brown for the base of the tree, for the trunk.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Shall I do some green on the trees?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47For the top. Give me another one.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Do me another tree.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Yay! Good team effort.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Oh, that's very good.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55That is super.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Grandma Janet made lots of funny things on Blue Peter,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02like these alien masks and gloves.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05And this big, furry spider!
0:12:05 > 0:12:09And look, here's another one we made earlier. Amazing!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Kit, look.- Oh, what a brilliant treasure map!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- X marks the spot. - That's a treasure map, isn't it?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18This is the one, I think. It's ready to go.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21We can definitely find treasure from this,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24so why don't we...roll it up...?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27And put it somewhere for someone to find
0:12:27 > 0:12:30and then they can start searching for treasure.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Put your finger there.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33We can do a bow.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Lift your finger.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Super!
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Kit, I've had such a lovely time showing you my job
0:12:55 > 0:12:58as a Blue Peter presenter. Have you had fun?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Yes!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04We looked at your Blue Peter books.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08We played at being brave with the crocodile.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12We made funny voices with Teddy and Monkey.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16We went to the Blue Peter studio.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19We made a treasure map.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21What's been your favourite bit?
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Making the treasure map.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Making the treasure map in the Blue Peter studio?- Look what I've got.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Wow.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Before we go searching for treasure, I'd like one more thing, Kit.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Please can I have a great big hug?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46What a fabulous heap of fun.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50That was Kit and Grandma Janet's tiny tale about the things
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Grandma Janet used to do.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Now, Grandma Janet has shared her story with Kit,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58it's time for Kit to start his own story.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Do you know someone who has a story to share?
