0:00:02 > 0:00:04- I'm Lauren.- I'm Mark. - And this is The Dengineers.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08The show that puts you in charge of building your very own dream den!
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Whoa!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- Indoors... - Is this yours?- Yeah!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15- Outdoors... - Oh, that's so cool!
0:00:15 > 0:00:19- Even underground... - Whoo!- That's amazing!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Whatever you want, the Dengineers team
0:00:21 > 0:00:25are here to transform your ideas into amazing spaces.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Built especially for you.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Here we go!
0:00:30 > 0:00:32ALL: Dengineers!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Amazing!
0:00:52 > 0:00:53- Ohhh! - SHE GASPS
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Ohhh!- Oh, wow!
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Hello and welcome to The Dengineers.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08We've come to Manchester for a very exciting challenge.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10We're going supersized!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Any den is awesome, but we're going to have our work cut out
0:01:13 > 0:01:16if we're going to build a den for an entire school.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Here's what we know about today's team of Dengineers!
0:01:19 > 0:01:23The Lancasterian isn't just any old school.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Our school is brilliant because...
0:01:27 > 0:01:31We have a great hall where we can play sports
0:01:31 > 0:01:33and practise our wheelchair dancing.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38We've got brilliant classrooms.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42And an amazing sensory room.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- No.- Yes.- No.- Yes.- No.- Yes.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49We've got a fun playground.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52We just don't have a place to hang out on our own.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Sit! - HE BLOWS WHISTLE
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Dengineers, we want you to come into our school and build us
0:01:58 > 0:02:00a massive den!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02CHEERING
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Ah!
0:02:09 > 0:02:11This is our biggest challenge yet for the Dengineers -
0:02:11 > 0:02:14a den fit for a whole school!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Yeah! Don't chicken out now, Mark.- Never!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19We're about to surprise an entire school assembly.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- It's round here look! - It's in there. Come on!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25More than 100 pupils and teachers are gathering in the hall.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Get down, get down!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30For what they think is a normal end of term assembly!
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Today, there are so many things that we are proud of.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Quick, quick, quick!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40We are going to be showing you some of the things that people...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43The head, Mrs Cass, is expecting us.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48But everyone else, including our seven Dengineers, have no idea.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49This way.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Hi.- Hi. - Would you sign in for me?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Sign in quick, quick, quick.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58While everyone's being entertained by a dance, we're poised
0:02:58 > 0:03:00ready to pounce.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- It's all going off in there, it's a proper party!- I know!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- This is our scariest yet. - I know, I'm really nervous.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09It's scary with a couple of children, let alone this many.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Wish us luck!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Oh! - Hello, Mrs Cass!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Hello! - CHEERING
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Hello! My name is Lauren! This is Mark.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27We are from CBBC's The Dengineers
0:03:27 > 0:03:31and we've got some pretty exciting news for you all.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Are you ready for this?
0:03:34 > 0:03:39We are going to be building you guys your very own
0:03:39 > 0:03:43massive dream den just for the school.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45CHEERING
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Mrs Cass, do you mind if some of the guys come and help us?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54We are going to need help. There is so much to do.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Yeah, they'll be more than willing. - Thanks, Mrs Cass! Bye!- Bye, guys.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Let's go, guys. - Come on then, mate, let's go!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Before we start, some of our Dengineers and their teaching
0:04:05 > 0:04:08assistants have agreed to show us around their school.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Go on, Morgan!- Home to nearly 100 kids with complex medical conditions
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- from all over Manchester. - I'm going!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Before Mark gets too battered,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21let's go and find out more about this amazing school.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24So, guys, tell me what is your school like?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Sometimes really good, but sometimes the teachers can be really grumpy!
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Really! Ooh, guys. - All the teachers are grumpy!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Do you hear this? And Ben, when it's playtime,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38where do you go, where do you hang out?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Near the climbing frame.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44And then sometimes it's under the canopy
0:04:44 > 0:04:49and we just talk and chat about things.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Here's the playground the kids currently use.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56It's great, but for those in wheelchairs
0:04:56 > 0:04:59it's a bit limited cos they can't go everywhere.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03The den has to be about creating a space where everyone can go
0:05:03 > 0:05:07and have fun and where teachers definitely aren't allowed!
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Tak, what sort of stuff do you think you guys will be doing in the den?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Talking, gaming...
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- Having fun?- Yeah! - Chilling out?- Yeah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- It's going to do everything! - Yeah!- I'm excited about this!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23We've got a lot of work to do, guys.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Are you going to give us a hand?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- ALL:- Yes! - That's what I like to hear!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So what's the best way to turn the ideas of a whole school
0:05:31 > 0:05:34into one big den?
0:05:35 > 0:05:40A trip to the Dengineers mobile HQ with its den-tastic brain.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42That's how!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And Ethan's agreed to come on board.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Tell me what pictures you like and what sort of ideas you like.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- The cars.- Cars!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Cars, yeah? Why do you want the cars?- Cos we like racing.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57You like racing cars. OK, let's stick them right in there.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59What about a stage?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Yeah.- A stage you can do the dancing on there.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04What else would you like to do in the den?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Play hide-and-seek.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Something like that? Yeah?
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Homework - do some homework in the den?- Yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Most importantly...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Have a laugh!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18There you go, have a laugh!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Ethan's laid out an awesome den plan.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25It's got to be a place to race, to perform, to chill and laugh,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27but most importantly,
0:06:27 > 0:06:32somewhere every child in the school can access and enjoy.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Love it!- Are we ready for this?- Yes! - Let's do it!- Let's do it!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38With so much work to do on this massive project,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41one Dengineer just isn't going to do it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43CHEERING We need seven!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48We've got a plan.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Here's the quiet corner of the school grounds
0:06:51 > 0:06:52where the den will be built.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It looks pretty, but the uneven paving
0:06:55 > 0:06:59and the grass means the whole area is inaccessible to wheelchairs.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05So it's time to get the diggers in and start changing it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Well, I'm afraid to say, teachers, but from here on in it is
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Dengineers only, which means for you guys, it's detention time!
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Go on off you go! No more for you!
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- See you later, guys, bye! - Bye!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24We are in charge now, guys!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- ALL:- Yes!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29You know what, I don't trust those two not to peep.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Excuse me!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Do the bottom on this one.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36They need to get working.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38So Beck, Ben and Ethan need to give me
0:07:38 > 0:07:41a hand covering all these windows.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Like the den we're building, even this job is supersized.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48They're thoroughly enjoying being in charge
0:07:48 > 0:07:50and keeping secrets from me
0:07:50 > 0:07:53and they keep telling me that it's going to be pink
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and there are going to be castles and I hate pink castles.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Well done, guys.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I think if any of your teachers peep through at the den now,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04they would be very, very naughty, wouldn't they?
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Yeah!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Yeah, no peeping, Mrs Cass!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09So, for such a huge challenge,
0:08:09 > 0:08:14it's clear we are going to need a designer full of big ideas.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And that could only mean Sege!
0:08:17 > 0:08:2136 years spent building amazing structures for very demanding
0:08:21 > 0:08:25customers means he's our man.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27He finds inspiration all around him
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and he's dying to bring some of that magic to Manchester.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Day one on site, and Sege has also brought the rain with him.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47With only five days to complete the entire job,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51his team need to concentrate on job one - getting the den bases and
0:08:51 > 0:08:56the ground precisely level so this can be a wheelchair-friendly den.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Between the showers, Dengineers Dieumerci, Morgan
0:09:00 > 0:09:04and Cleo head over to find out more about Sege's master plan.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09There's a lot of you guys, so one den isn't big enough.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- No, no, no! - No, not at all.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- No, no!- So we've gone for five dens!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Five dens! - Yeah!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- How about that, five dens! - Wow!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22And what we're going to do also is we're going to link them
0:09:22 > 0:09:25up with a path, so you're able to charge backwards
0:09:25 > 0:09:27and forwards to whichever one you want.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30And Sege has brilliantly designed the dens themselves to
0:09:30 > 0:09:34reflect the kids' love for all things racing and transport.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Now, guys, I need you to tell me
0:09:37 > 0:09:39what sort of transport you would like in the dens.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- Something very cool. - Something very cool.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Something that's too cool for school and what would that be?- Cars!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Cars!- Cars! can you do it, can you do a car?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I can do a car. OK!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Train!- You want a train?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Train. The car versus a train. I love it!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Too cool for school! - Yeah.- Oh, yeah!
0:10:01 > 0:10:05At last, we know the theme - a transport den.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Sege has come up with an ambitious plan for multiple dens,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11all joined together by a brightly coloured pathway
0:10:11 > 0:10:14all the kids at the school can use.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18The whole area will be a safe place away from the teachers, to play,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21eat and just chill out.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26As the rain begins to ease, the first den structure flies up.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's only day one and already
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I've been called into the teachers' office!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Thankfully, Mrs Upton and Mrs Cass just want to tell me
0:10:36 > 0:10:38more about their awesome kids.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40So tell me about some of the kids here.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42What are their personalities like?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, a full range of personalities - some very quiet,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47shy and some very big bubbly,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50enthusiastic, confident young people.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Julie, what does this den mean to the kids?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56There are so many things that, as children, we take for granted.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59We take it for granted that we can go to our mate's house for tea
0:10:59 > 0:11:02or that we can go swimming together.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05But I think if you've got four friends all in a wheelchair,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08it's really hard to find the space to do that.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12So I think the den for our kids, will give them the time
0:11:12 > 0:11:17and the space to just do all those things what's done in school.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Rumour has it, the word on the street, is that
0:11:19 > 0:11:22when they're not looking, you guys are going to be trying to
0:11:22 > 0:11:24hang out in there and use the space. Is that right?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- Maybe.- We could have staff meetings there.- Yeah, that would be good!
0:11:28 > 0:11:29As I said, no adults allowed.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Unfortunately, it's not all smiles outside.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39the rain has hit progress on day one hard.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- The weather's been abysmal. - It's horrible today.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's been a real Manchester rainy day.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45What effect has the rain had?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's slowed us down, but the guys have been fantastic,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- everybody's working hard. - How are you feeling schedule-wise?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Apprehensive! I'm feeling a bit sort of "Will we, won't we?"
0:11:55 > 0:11:57on each stage, so you never know.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00As long as the weather holds off we should be OK.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04So we always knew that this was going to be a massive, task
0:12:04 > 0:12:06for the Dengineers team.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09But being here on site today has really made me
0:12:09 > 0:12:11realise how massive this is.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I mean, just look behind me!
0:12:13 > 0:12:17We have got mud everywhere, there is gravel everywhere.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19And if we suffer any more setbacks, we are
0:12:19 > 0:12:23going to find ourselves in real trouble.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Keep the faith, Lauren. Dengineers, we believe in you!
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Early on day two and the site is a hive of activity,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38but once again the sun hasn't come to the party,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40despite Sege's best efforts.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I've been doing a stop-the-rain dance all morning.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I've been wishing, crossing everything I can cross, jumping up
0:12:47 > 0:12:52and down, rolling all over the floor, just to make the rain stop.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Whatever you've been doing, Sege, it's working!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57And that's good news for the ground,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59because to make it suitable for wheelchairs,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03first, we lay 40 tonnes of gravel and hard-core, which level it out
0:13:03 > 0:13:05and allow water to drain away.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10That would take a whopping 500 trips in a wheelbarrow, so it's a good
0:13:10 > 0:13:14job for Lauren we've got a dumper truck or SHE'D be doing it!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17This job will still take a while, so I'm taking a few of our Dengineers
0:13:17 > 0:13:21off site to a place that's sure to fuel their need for speed.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Morning!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30'Morgan, Cleo, Ethan, Beck
0:13:30 > 0:13:34'and Ben are here to experience a high flying mode of transport...'
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'm pleased to announce the Dengineers special charter
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- flight is now ready for boarding. - Whoo!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41..a passenger jet!
0:13:41 > 0:13:46This looks like a real plane you would fly away on holiday on,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50but in fact it's a Boeing 737 simulator.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53This is Richard and he's a real pilot.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56But he's not flying today, the Dengineers are.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02This is Ben your captain speaking.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I hope you enjoy this flight. - CHEERING
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Captain Ben!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Get the engine started...
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Once Richard gets us safely airborne...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14CHEERING
0:14:14 > 0:14:16We're up in the air!
0:14:16 > 0:14:17This looks cool!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Captain Ben takes the controls.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Now this is all you.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Nice job, Ben.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26If you turn it a little bit to the right.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Nicely done, Ben. Well done, buddy.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Nice one, Captain Ben!
0:14:31 > 0:14:33If we just pop that over your head, Cleo.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36And there's no shortage of other Dengineer pilots
0:14:36 > 0:14:37waiting in the wings.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- What's it like to fly an aeroplane? - Good!- Good, yeah?- Yeah!- Excellent!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44If I'm not careful you might end up taking my job!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Slowly pull this back, start pulling it back towards you.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- And watch the nose start to rise! - Come on, Morgan!
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- How cool is that?- You can see, look, you're flying it now!
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'm flying!
0:14:58 > 0:15:03And a nice right-hand turn and there we go. Yeah! Perfect!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Well done, nice and smooth!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Finally, it falls to Beck to bring this awesome den day out
0:15:09 > 0:15:11back down to earth.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Easy, Beck, easy! Are you feeling confident about landing?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Yeah. We'll be now landing at your airport of Dengineers.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22And a touch to the right!
0:15:23 > 0:15:26And...touchdown!
0:15:26 > 0:15:28CHEERING
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Yeah! Very smooth!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Back on site, we're not flying so high.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Although there are a few hints of the magic to come, progress
0:15:43 > 0:15:47is still muddy, slow and, frankly, a bit worrying.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50OK, Mark, you can see all the edge boarding going in for the paths.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53'I think Sege needs a legendary Wrighty pep talk.'
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Sege, the king of dens,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- you never worry me on any job you've ever done.- Right!
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Right, but we're standing here, day two, with three days to go...
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Yeah.- ..and there looks like there's loads to go.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Normally, you'd be further on in the whole process, wouldn't you?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13It's just very tight, where there's a lot of work to do in
0:16:13 > 0:16:17a small amount of time, but I hope we're getting out of that now.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Well, the thought of never having a den ready on time is always
0:16:20 > 0:16:22a nerve-racking feeling,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25so make me go home, rest assured, we're going to get this done!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- We're going to get it done! - Promise me!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Promise ya. There's always going to be a den ready!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Sege never ever lets you down!
0:16:33 > 0:16:37I think I believe him, but there's no denying this is the biggest
0:16:37 > 0:16:40challenge ever faced by the Dengineers.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47But a new day brings the sun, and finally
0:16:47 > 0:16:50some tantalising hints of how this space will look
0:16:50 > 0:16:54when it's transformed into a transport-themed wonderland.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That'll do, yeah. Wait a minute.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Inside, the curiosity is getting the better of head Mrs Cass.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Excuse me!
0:17:04 > 0:17:06'I noticed that there was a bit of a gap.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09'I don't think everyone had put everything up neatly,'
0:17:09 > 0:17:11but no-one's been looking as far as I know.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15'Hm, so you won't have seen all the progress we're making today.'
0:17:15 > 0:17:20The joiners are really getting on with the wooden den structures,
0:17:20 > 0:17:24which allows our army of Dengineers painters to get to work.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Meanwhile, Sege needs help with a colourful transport-themed upcycle.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Hi, guys. I want to tell you about our upcycle project, OK?
0:17:38 > 0:17:42What we thought would be a really good idea
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- was to upcycle some tyres... - Cool!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- ..into plant pots. - Yes!- Now, I've got tyres here,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50but the first thing that needs to be done is we need to paint them.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Andy's going to help you, so can I leave you to get on with it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Yeah. - See you, then, good luck.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59These tyres will make perfect plant pots once they're painted up,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02lined and filled with soil.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Just keep moving the brush back and forth, get it into all the gaps.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I'm really excited about the den.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I think I'm the dirtiest. Hold out your hands.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- Yeah, definitely!- I think I might win, actually. What do you think?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Yeah!
0:18:24 > 0:18:27After a very long time watching paint dry...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Shall we get some soil inside? - Yes!- Yes!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Yeah, let's do it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34..the sun comes out and Tak Ho, Ben and Dieumerci
0:18:34 > 0:18:37have arrived to finish the job.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41We've added a special drainage liner into the tyres.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44And in it goes. Nice one!
0:18:44 > 0:18:47And once they're full of soil, it's time to get planting.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- OK, guys, I've got some plants here. Which ones do you want?- Blue!
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Pop it into the hole. There we go!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03And after a quick water,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06the main man's back to inspect the job.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Wow, these look fantastic. Really good.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- Let's go and get them in the den. - Yeah!- Great, let's get them done!
0:19:19 > 0:19:23A busy day is drawing to a close on site
0:19:23 > 0:19:27and the all-important work on the ground is almost finished.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31A level surface means a vital job can now commence -
0:19:31 > 0:19:33laying the weatherproof pathways,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35which will link all the den structures together.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42A special mixture of rubber chips
0:19:42 > 0:19:46and glue are carefully spread over 90 square metres of pathways,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50to create an awesome wheelchair-friendly racing track.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55It's a time-consuming, tough job
0:19:55 > 0:19:59for the Dengineers. Tonight could be a late one.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06It's day four and you'll be able to see little hints of the theme
0:20:06 > 0:20:09coming through now - it's all about the transport theme.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12So you can see behind me there's the car, the aeroplane,
0:20:12 > 0:20:13the railway carriage.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Then we'll encompass the hot-air balloon, the lorry...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's all coming together now.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23To make sure Sege is sticking to the plans, six Dengineers
0:20:23 > 0:20:26are on their way for a site visit.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's big, brilliant and amazing!
0:20:29 > 0:20:32And they've got a lot of questions.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34How do we get in the den?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Well, that's all revealed tomorrow, that is!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38How big is the den inside?
0:20:38 > 0:20:42All of you could fit in there comfortably.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Why have we got a telephone box on it?
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Well, did you not want a telephone box, then?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- What's that blue one going to be? - It's another form of transport.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- A train! - All will be revealed tomorrow.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- CHANTING:- Sege, Sege, Sege, Sege!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58No, I can't tell you. I can't tell you!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00The kids are very demanding.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03They know exactly what they want and don't settle for anything less.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Can I go, please? - No cup of tea for you, Sege.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Bye, see you all later. See ya! Bye! - ALL:- Bye!
0:21:17 > 0:21:20We're not letting the kids back in until the reveal,
0:21:20 > 0:21:23so now it's all about adding the big visual features that will
0:21:23 > 0:21:24bring the dens alive.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28And making sure all structures are prepared
0:21:28 > 0:21:31to face the Manchester weather.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Power is hooked up in the main den.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The red bus gets its bold waterproof top coat.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40The stage is being hand painted with a graffiti backdrop.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Is that in the centre?
0:21:42 > 0:21:47And the magical hot-air balloon is inflated, using polystyrene balls!
0:21:47 > 0:21:51While all this is going on, sit back, it's time for a den hack.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58If you have one,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01using a tablet can be a great way of making your journey even more fun.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04And I've got a great idea to make using your tablet
0:22:04 > 0:22:06even easier in the car!
0:22:06 > 0:22:09This is my Tablet Holder Hack!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Get yourself an old metal coat hanger.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Grab the middle and pull it to make a diamond shape.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Then push the bottom of the diamond up towards the hook end
0:22:18 > 0:22:21to make a shelf.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Put an elastic band around the neck of the hanger,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and then hook the whole thing around the back of the front headrest.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Slide in the tablet.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Secure it with a rubber band.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34And you're good to go.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38And that's it! My awesome Tablet Holder Hack.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Pretty good, right?
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Reveal day has finally arrived at the Lancasterian School mega-den.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Designer Sege and his team are battling to beat the toughest
0:22:50 > 0:22:52challenge the Dengineers have ever faced.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00Sege, not that I expected anything different, it is looking fantastic.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02There's still loads to do but it's the serious stuff now.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Everybody mucking in for last knockings to make sure
0:23:06 > 0:23:08we get all the colours on, the last bits
0:23:08 > 0:23:10and pieces all attached to where they've got to go.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13The site is a colourful hive of activity.
0:23:15 > 0:23:2055 square metres of turf and 9 tonnes of soil will ensure nature
0:23:20 > 0:23:24spills into the den and wheelchairs can get right up to the trees.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31And one important feature is ready to be fitted - the awesome sign.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Are you here again? You do know we've got a lot to do, don't you?
0:23:35 > 0:23:41Now, don't tell Sege, but someone's let Mark Wright near a paintbrush.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Are you sure that's the right colour?- I dunno.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I've painted it white but there's red going through it!
0:23:48 > 0:23:50What do you mean? Are you kidding?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Who's just painted that post?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Did you like the colour of your shirt and painted it on there too?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- I was trying to control the situation!- Was it just him?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- It's just him always! - Well, I'd sack him.- Whoops!
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I do sometimes wonder how we got this job.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09But as this epic den races towards the finish line, thankfully
0:24:09 > 0:24:13the rest of the Dengineers team seem to know what they're doing.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I absolutely love what the children have done with these,
0:24:17 > 0:24:18they look amazing!
0:24:18 > 0:24:22That was all down to the kids, all of it! It is looking so cool.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Everyone as a team has made this place look incredible.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Just a few final stickers to go on the bus.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Surely Lauren can't get this job wrong...
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Oh!
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Ohh!
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Oh, no, no!
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Sege, look away. Sege, look away!
0:24:38 > 0:24:41She was doing so well, then lost the patience.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- You can sort this out?- I'll sort it out.- They can sort it out!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49After one last monumental push, against all odds...
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I think we're done, almost!
0:24:55 > 0:24:57This has been the most tiring, the most demanding
0:24:57 > 0:24:59and the absolute tightest.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02But, Sege, I'm afraid the time is running out.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05You need to call your guys out of there. The kids are on their way.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Chaps, that's it. All done, it's over, finished.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21A quiet corner of the school grounds,
0:25:21 > 0:25:25for so long off limits to many of the pupils...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28is now firmly on the map.
0:25:29 > 0:25:341,000 hours of Dengineering graft have resulted in the Depot,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36a magical transport-themed town
0:25:36 > 0:25:40tied together by a stunning rubber pathway.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42- Come on!- Hiya!
0:25:42 > 0:25:45And the kids are about to get their first look.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Check it out!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49ALL SCREAM WITH EXCITEMENT
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Have a look at this!- We did it!
0:25:57 > 0:25:59How good is this, guys?
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- Yeah!- Our very own den!- Yeah!
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Do you love it?- Yeah!
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I'm so pleased!
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- They absolutely love it!- Yeah!
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yeah, man! Whoooo!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I'm going in here!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Beck, what do you think? - It's amazing!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22CHEERING
0:26:22 > 0:26:26How cool's this? It's like an actual hot-air balloon!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29There's our picture, look, from when we went into the aeroplane!
0:26:29 > 0:26:32So much fun!
0:26:32 > 0:26:34So much fun!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37So, is the den good?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- ALL:- This den is done!
0:26:39 > 0:26:41This den is done, they say, yes!
0:26:41 > 0:26:46The incredible Depot den is an amazing space
0:26:46 > 0:26:49every pupil at the Lancasterian School can enjoy.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53From the awesome main den, with its board of memories
0:26:53 > 0:26:57and funky cartoon wall, to the magical hot-air balloon,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01to the retro bus, to the performance stage,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04this place oozes fun and creativity.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Wheelchairs can easily zip around the bright pathways
0:27:07 > 0:27:09and into each den.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Let's just hope the teachers love it too.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14TEACHERS LAUGH WITH DELIGHT
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Oh, wow! Oh, my, can we come in?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- ALL:- Come in.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22CHEERING
0:27:22 > 0:27:25We've got a London bus.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You've done an absolutely amazing job.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28I can't believe it!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30CHEERING
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Family and friends are all dying to take a peek.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Oh, it's brilliant.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37'On Monday, it was just normal rubbish.'
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It looked rubbish, to be honest.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Oh, that's cool!
0:27:42 > 0:27:46But today, it's just... unspeakable of.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I love all these different textures here, Cleo.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Sege has done a really great job and I really want to say thank you,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53so thank you, Sege.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59We always knew it was going to be a big one, but what a way to finish!
0:27:59 > 0:28:01I mean, look at it, it's incredible.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Five days to get all that done.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05The team have just been incredible. I absolutely love it!
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Do you know what, I think we did all right, Marky boy.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- Lozza, we Dengineered it! - Yeah, we did!
