:02:36.:02:38.

Wolfblood pack. See you soon! OK, time for a quick round-up of

:02:39.:02:41.

some of the other top stories today. Britain's very own starman

:02:42.:02:44.

Tim Peake arrived back on Earth almost a month ago,

:02:45.:02:46.

and for the first time since his return he's been speaking

:02:47.:02:52.

to journalists and schoolkids He says he missed his family,

:02:53.:02:54.

and one of the first things he ate And check out this amazing footage

at Chester Zoo. Experts say there are only

100 left in the wild - making it one of the most

:03:12.:03:14.

endangered cats in the world. Play was delayed at England's

:03:15.:03:17.

cricket match against Pakistan But it wasn't because of the rain,

:03:18.:03:19.

it was because of this - a pigeon! It flew across the middle

:03:20.:03:23.

of the pitch, and began Of course, this weekend

:03:24.:03:26.

is all about Awesome Authors - He loves eating liquorice and can

:03:27.:03:34.

even make his ears waggle - it's The Hundred Mile An Hour Dog

:03:35.:03:43.

writer Jeremy Strong. You're called The King of Comedy -

:03:44.:03:47.

why do you love jokes so much? Well, I think it's just because I

:03:48.:04:02.

have a funny nature. My thoughts are just... I see the funny side of

:04:03.:04:07.

things. And then I just want to write it. I've tried writing serious

:04:08.:04:12.

books, but they make me miserable and depressed. So I put jokes in.

:04:13.:04:18.

Now I'll just stick to comedy. We've got to make reviewers who want

:04:19.:04:21.

to know more about your writing. If you were stuck on a desert

:04:22.:04:25.

island, what book would you take with you?

:04:26.:04:31.

I think that's going to have to be my family and other animals, because

:04:32.:04:37.

it is such a sunny book. What a wonderful life he had when he was a

:04:38.:04:43.

child, I wish I had been him. He ends up on this island, and he

:04:44.:04:47.

doesn't have to go to school! Work could be better than that. He's just

:04:48.:04:52.

surrounded by all these animals, it's hilarious. And Alexa, you've

:04:53.:05:00.

got a question. If you were not an author, what job would you want? O

:05:01.:05:07.

K. Well, I've always wanted to be able to play the piano really,

:05:08.:05:12.

really well, so well but I could be employed as a pianist. The kind of

:05:13.:05:16.

person who can just go to a piano and just sit down and play anything,

:05:17.:05:21.

I think that would be self-fulfilling. Well, we'll be

:05:22.:05:25.

watching out for you on the keys. We got some jokes as well. What do the

:05:26.:05:35.

football players do to keep cool? They sit close to the fans! That's a

:05:36.:05:46.

good one. Why did Dell cross the road? I don't know. -- Adele. To say

:05:47.:05:59.
