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