So, what makes the Brits one of the biggest nights in music? | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
The Brit Awards started almost 40 years ago in 1977, | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
as part of celebrations to honour | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Back then, it was called the British Record Industry Britannia Awards | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
and it was shown on TV in black-and-white. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Throughout the years, the Brit Awards have had | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Like the iconic outfits, lots of different presenters, | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
legendary performances and, of course, | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
there's one thing that everyone wants, | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
their hands on a famous Brit statue. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
But as the stars get ready for this year, | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
here are some fun facts about the star-studded ceremony. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
This year for the first time ever, | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
all 13 categories will have their very own unique statue. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
There will be 15,000 glasses for the stars to drink from, | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
5500kg of ice to keep their drinks cool, | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
that is around the same weight as an African bush elephant. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Oh, and if the stars get hungry, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
there are 60 chefs working in kitchen. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Man, you have got to love the Brit Awards. | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
You won't be able to save the Macs even right now. Why don't I stick | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
around and see if they will have a chat with me? | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
So make sure you tune in to Newsround tomorrow morning | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Now to the massive fire-throwing catapult that's back in action | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
after being repaired at Warwick Castle in England. | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
It's the largest missile launcher of its kind in the world. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
It's made of wood. It's got a big wheel and a stick. | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
And it launches, like, big balls that are on fire. | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
Allow me to introduce you to the world's largest seize | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
engine, a huge catapult called a trebuchet. | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
Our machine is called Ursula, the bear. | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
She is designed to destory castles, towns and villages. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
She stands at 18 metres tall and she weighs 22 tonnes. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
The shots we launch from our machine would weigh around 150 kilograms. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Imagine two huge washing machines being thrown at you at 140mph. | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
This machine has to fire every six minutes, so my men must run up these | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
If the sun is pouring through the slats of the wheels | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
and they're looking at it, they're going to get dizzy. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
And if they get sick, well, what comes out | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Meet Jabba the hedgehog, he's got a big problem | :04:05. | :04:34. | |
because he's three times the size of an average hedgehog. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
He was accidentally over-fed during the winter, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
by the people whose garden he visited. | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
He's now on a strict diet of cat biscuits | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
at the Oak and Furrows Wildlife Rescue Centre. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
When he's slim again he can go back into the wild. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Leah's back in the morning with all the action from the Brit Awards | :04:49. | :05:00. | |
Loans more is on mine as well. See you tomorrow. | :05:01. | :05:03. |
