-I'm Mark.

-And I'm Lauren.

-And this is The Dengineers.

0:00:020:00:04

The show that puts you in charge of building your very own dream den.

0:00:040:00:08

Dens for adventure.

0:00:090:00:11

Hello, trap door!

0:00:110:00:12

Hanging out with your friends and family.

0:00:120:00:15

This den is the best thing ever.

0:00:150:00:17

And dens built to fulfil your dreams.

0:00:170:00:19

-It's more than he could ever have wanted.

-Oh, Mum, listen...

0:00:190:00:22

Whatever your ideas, The Dengineers' team are here

0:00:220:00:25

to transform your inspiration into amazing spaces.

0:00:250:00:28

Built especially for you.

0:00:280:00:30

ALL: This den is done!

0:00:300:00:34

Hello!

0:00:370:00:38

CHILDREN SHOUT

0:00:380:00:40

Yes, you, Lola.

0:00:400:00:42

Let's do it.

0:00:460:00:48

That's epic!

0:00:530:00:55

-Really happy.

-It's amazing.

0:00:550:00:57

We've gone back to school to surprise today's Dengineer.

0:01:030:01:06

And it won't be long until she arrives in this very classroom,

0:01:060:01:10

completely unaware that she is going to get her dream den.

0:01:100:01:13

-Exactly, so me and you had better get out of here.

-Come on.

0:01:130:01:15

Today's Dengineer is 11-year-old Soibi from Manchester.

0:01:170:01:21

I'd like to be a journalist, but in order to achieve my dreams,

0:01:210:01:24

I'll need some help from The Dengineers.

0:01:240:01:27

Soibi absolutely loves the news.

0:01:270:01:30

She loves reading.

0:01:300:01:32

-Writing.

-Even watching it.

0:01:320:01:35

She loves North West Tonight news.

0:01:350:01:37

She literally gets us to watch the news and, when it's not possible,

0:01:370:01:42

she records them.

0:01:420:01:44

Soibi uses her journalist skills to write regular

0:01:440:01:46

newsletters for her local church.

0:01:460:01:48

In this issue, need a big impact of power?

0:01:480:01:51

Well, you've come to the right place.

0:01:510:01:53

Soibi is very important to the community.

0:01:530:01:56

She's gifted, she's very creative.

0:01:560:01:58

This publication, it shows that she's got a great future.

0:01:580:02:02

Soibi works on her research and writing whenever she can,

0:02:020:02:06

but that's not always easy to do.

0:02:060:02:09

She shares a bedroom with her three-year-old sister and, yes,

0:02:090:02:12

that's nice sometimes, but I think other times Soibi needs her own

0:02:120:02:16

space to focus and finish an activity.

0:02:160:02:18

She's really sacrificed her time and herself,

0:02:180:02:21

and she really deserves to have something special.

0:02:210:02:25

There's no-one I can think of that needs or deserves it more than her.

0:02:250:02:29

Don't worry, Soibi.

0:02:290:02:31

Our help is exactly what you're going to get.

0:02:310:02:34

You've just got no idea that we are about to hit you with the surprise

0:02:340:02:37

-of your life.

-Thank you so much for listening.

0:02:370:02:40

Goodbye.

0:02:400:02:43

So, for this hit, we've called in the help of our CBBC chums -

0:02:430:02:46

-Newsround - and they've lent us Ricky.

-Hello!

-Hey, Ricky.

0:02:460:02:50

-How are you doing?

-Good.

0:02:500:02:51

Now, Ricky, Soibi is in a lesson right now, and her class think that

0:02:510:02:55

you're coming here to talk to them about the news.

0:02:550:02:57

-Right.

-But we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to announce

0:02:570:03:01

Newsround's newest presenters - hey, hey.

0:03:010:03:05

-Right...

-Now obviously, Ricky,

0:03:050:03:06

we're not actually Newsround's new presenters.

0:03:060:03:09

Your job's safe. We're actually here to talk Dengineers.

0:03:090:03:12

-We're too busy building dens for that.

-Makes a lot more sense.

0:03:120:03:15

-Let's do it. Are you ready to do it?

-Yeah.

-Let's go.

0:03:150:03:17

The Dengineers' team have been mega-busy,

0:03:170:03:20

fitting hidden cameras throughout the classroom and, bang on time,

0:03:200:03:24

Soibi and Co arrive for their lesson.

0:03:240:03:27

If we get spotted, this is game over.

0:03:270:03:31

This is one of the most risky ones we've done.

0:03:310:03:33

Now it's over to Ricky to begin Operation Surprise Soibi.

0:03:330:03:37

Ricky, you're up.

0:03:370:03:39

Hey, guys.

0:03:390:03:40

How are you doing? Who watches Newsround maybe, like, every day?

0:03:400:03:45

You do. What's your name?

0:03:450:03:47

-Soibi.

-And what is it about Newsround you like?

0:03:470:03:50

It's, like, from...for kids.

0:03:500:03:52

Quick, ah, we almost got spotted then.

0:03:520:03:55

And do you like some of the presenters?

0:03:550:03:57

Who's your favourite presenter? Yes!

0:03:570:04:00

Everything is set.

0:04:010:04:03

It's time for the huge and totally fictional CBBC announcement.

0:04:030:04:07

We are going to reveal two brand-new Newsround presenters.

0:04:070:04:13

-So shall we go and get them?

-PUPILS: Yeah.

0:04:130:04:16

Fantastic, let's do it.

0:04:160:04:18

Hello, hello.

0:04:210:04:23

Hi there. So we're not actually Newsround's new presenters.

0:04:230:04:27

That was a bit of a trick. Ricky's been having you on.

0:04:270:04:31

My name's Lauren. This is Mark.

0:04:310:04:32

We're from CBBC's The Dengineers.

0:04:320:04:35

We're actually looking for Soibi.

0:04:350:04:39

And there you are. How are you doing, Soibi?

0:04:390:04:42

LAUGHTER

0:04:420:04:43

-You feeling OK?

-Not really.

0:04:430:04:46

Well, we've heard that you love the news

0:04:460:04:49

and one day you want to become a journalist. Is that correct?

0:04:490:04:51

-Yeah.

-And we've heard that you need some space to do your research,

0:04:510:04:56

to prepare your reports.

0:04:560:04:57

Is that about right?

0:04:570:04:59

-Yeah.

-So you should be happy to know that you're going to be leaving with

0:04:590:05:03

us to get ready to build your very own dream den.

0:05:030:05:07

-No, this is a dream.

-Give her a round of applause, everyone!

0:05:070:05:10

APPLAUSE

0:05:100:05:11

Go, Soibi!

0:05:110:05:13

Let's go!

0:05:130:05:15

I feel like I'm in a dream because I didn't really know

0:05:150:05:17

that it would happen. Also, I'm really shocked

0:05:170:05:20

and I'm really anxious to know what's going to happen next.

0:05:200:05:23

I felt overwhelmed for Soibi,

0:05:230:05:26

because she looked like she was dead happy,

0:05:260:05:29

so I'm dead like happy for her.

0:05:290:05:30

This has been the coolest thing that's ever happened in school.

0:05:300:05:34

Our first port of call is The Dengineers' mobile HQ,

0:05:340:05:38

which has some mega-cool technology to get this den rolling.

0:05:380:05:41

Soibi, in here is where we download all of the ideas that you've got in

0:05:410:05:46

your head onto this massive computer.

0:05:460:05:49

You're the boss of your den, so anything you see on here, grab it.

0:05:490:05:53

-Oh, she's straight in there. Look at that.

-Oh, wow!

0:05:530:05:56

So tell us what's the idea of your den?

0:05:560:05:58

It's going to be like a mini studio for me, like,

0:05:580:06:01

to do my reports and then also a work space

0:06:010:06:03

so I can make the reports.

0:06:030:06:05

So what else on here, Soibi, do you like?

0:06:050:06:07

A green screen because, say you want to do weather or

0:06:070:06:11

make a picture behind you, something that you're reporting about.

0:06:110:06:15

Oh, perfect.

0:06:150:06:17

Maybe that could go on top.

0:06:170:06:19

Maybe on top. That would be a cool idea.

0:06:190:06:20

That is a good idea.

0:06:200:06:22

Why have you chosen the bookshelves and the books?

0:06:220:06:24

Because I have lots of files

0:06:240:06:26

in my room and there's nowhere to keep them.

0:06:260:06:29

Me and my sister, because I share a room with her and sometimes she'll

0:06:290:06:32

come up to me and ask me to play a game with her,

0:06:320:06:35

but I want to do my report, so it'll be nice to have some space.

0:06:350:06:39

We love little sisters and brothers, but also you need your own space.

0:06:390:06:42

So there you have it, the den.

0:06:420:06:44

-Come on then, let's get this den done.

-Let's do it.

0:06:440:06:47

Soibi has decided on a new studio look for her den,

0:06:470:06:50

complete with a satellite dish,

0:06:500:06:52

loads of storage for her research and a green screen to film her

0:06:520:06:56

reports against.

0:06:560:06:57

It's time to meet the designer who's going to make Soibi's den

0:06:570:07:01

headline news.

0:07:010:07:03

-But who will it be?

-Meet Olga.

0:07:030:07:06

She's a specialist in creating mega-cool dens and can make

0:07:060:07:10

the smallest of spaces look totally awesome.

0:07:100:07:13

She has all the skills to make this den a journalist's dream.

0:07:130:07:16

So, Olga, tell us what have we got to look forward to?

0:07:160:07:19

I'm planning to build your own news studio in this garden.

0:07:190:07:23

Are you serious, Olga? You're going to make an entire studio?

0:07:230:07:27

Yeah, why not? I was thinking to make it in the shape of a big telly.

0:07:270:07:31

-Wow.

-Wow is a good reaction.

0:07:310:07:33

I like that a lot.

0:07:330:07:34

So I was told you'd like something on the top of your den.

0:07:340:07:37

-Yeah.

-What is that?

0:07:370:07:38

-It's a satellite.

-Something like that?

0:07:380:07:41

-Yeah.

-That made me think, how about some aerials on the top of your den,

0:07:410:07:47

like in an old school retro TV aerial?

0:07:470:07:50

-Cool.

-So when you say an aerial,

0:07:500:07:51

like do you mean the thing on the top of TVs?

0:07:510:07:54

-Yes.

-Like back in the day. That's it, exactly. Oh!

0:07:540:07:57

Soibi, what's your favourite bit that Olga has just said?

0:07:570:08:00

The retro look for my den.

0:08:000:08:02

Great. We've got a happy customer.

0:08:020:08:04

Olga's plans have been given the Soibi stamp of approval.

0:08:040:08:08

She's designed the outside of the den to look like an old school

0:08:080:08:11

television, complete with a retro aerial on the top of the structure.

0:08:110:08:15

On the inside, Soibi will have an amazing news studio

0:08:150:08:18

as well as a research area, where she can work on her reports.

0:08:180:08:22

Olga plans to construct Soibi's awesome journalism den

0:08:220:08:25

in this area of the garden,

0:08:250:08:27

but before any building can take place, we need to make sure

0:08:270:08:30

the ground is level.

0:08:300:08:32

To get this job done, Soibi and the Dengineers need to get digging.

0:08:320:08:37

-Yes, Soibi!

-Chucking it straight over.

0:08:370:08:42

With the grass and mud cleared out,

0:08:420:08:44

the team crack on laying the concrete.

0:08:440:08:46

That's one, and that's it done.

0:08:530:08:56

After a huge effort from the ground works team,

0:08:560:08:59

building can finally begin on the structure of the den.

0:08:590:09:02

And that means this garden is a Dengineers-only zone

0:09:020:09:06

until the big reveal, in just four days' time.

0:09:060:09:09

It's day one of the build in Manchester,

0:09:130:09:16

and the first job for the Dengineers is to unload

0:09:160:09:19

an enormous amount of den-building kit.

0:09:190:09:21

The Dengineers have landed.

0:09:250:09:27

I'm really excited to build the den, because I couldn't sleep,

0:09:270:09:31

and I can't wait,

0:09:310:09:32

because it's going to be, like, a really big part of my life.

0:09:320:09:35

The next task for the team is to build the main structure of the den.

0:09:380:09:42

A job which involves using over 130 metres of weatherproof timber.

0:09:440:09:49

That's roughly the same length as five fully grown blue whales.

0:09:510:09:55

-There you go.

-Building a den this size is a huge challenge for the

0:09:550:09:59

Dengineers, and designer Olga is feeling the pressure.

0:09:590:10:02

This is one of the biggest structures I've ever built

0:10:030:10:06

for The Dengineers,

0:10:060:10:07

and it's going to be a huge task to make it happen in four days,

0:10:070:10:11

but I do believe in the Dengineers' power,

0:10:110:10:12

and I'm sure we can make it happen.

0:10:120:10:14

Whilst the team crack on constructing this mammoth structure,

0:10:160:10:20

Olga needs Soibi's help with some painting.

0:10:200:10:23

Really good. Look how quick you are.

0:10:230:10:27

Painting with Olga was fun

0:10:270:10:28

because it gave me a hint of what to expect with the den.

0:10:280:10:32

I can't wait to see the rest of the den.

0:10:320:10:34

This den's going to give Soibi some much-needed space of her own.

0:10:340:10:38

I want to find out more from Mum and Dad

0:10:380:10:40

about how much this will mean to her.

0:10:400:10:42

Soibi usually has her siblings jumping up and down or interrupting

0:10:420:10:47

her when she's writing things, so I think having her own space,

0:10:470:10:51

where she can do her own thing, will be good for her.

0:10:510:10:53

Soibi shares a room with her younger sister, who's only three.

0:10:530:10:56

Does she ever complain about that?

0:10:560:10:57

She doesn't really complain, you know,

0:10:570:10:59

and that's a wonderful characteristic,

0:10:590:11:02

if I may say, of her.

0:11:020:11:03

How good of a journalist is Soibi?

0:11:030:11:05

She takes the initiative to go and do interviews,

0:11:050:11:08

record them and then she writes and edits her stuff,

0:11:080:11:10

so for her age, I thought it was amazing, and especially having a den

0:11:100:11:13

now, where she can have her own space and have some of the equipment

0:11:130:11:17

she needs, I think the sky's the limit.

0:11:170:11:19

I promise you it's going to be incredible.

0:11:190:11:21

-Are you excited to see it?

-Yes, we are. I can't wait, actually.

0:11:210:11:24

-Yes, very much so.

-Are you nervous about what it's done to your garden?

0:11:240:11:27

-Yes and no.

-No peeking!

0:11:270:11:30

You're going to love it when it's finally built.

0:11:300:11:32

Back in the garden,

0:11:350:11:36

and the structure of Soibi's den has gone up.

0:11:360:11:39

The roof has been sealed to avoid any water getting inside.

0:11:390:11:42

The next job for Soibi and the Dengineers is to cover the inside of

0:11:420:11:45

the den in over 100m of foil insulation.

0:11:450:11:49

What we've got is this foil bubble wrap,

0:11:490:11:52

pretty much like you do your packaging with,

0:11:520:11:54

and it will help keep the den nice and warm during winter.

0:11:540:11:57

OK, so what are you going to use your den for?

0:12:000:12:03

I'm going to use it for journalism,

0:12:030:12:04

like to write my own newsletters and to broadcast them.

0:12:040:12:07

I'd like to broadcast about my dog.

0:12:070:12:10

-I've got a pet dog.

-What's its name?

0:12:100:12:13

Betty.

0:12:130:12:15

With Soibi's help, it's not long until the whole den is covered in

0:12:170:12:20

-the foil insulation.

-That's it, push hard. Perfect.

0:12:200:12:23

Day one of the build is done and the Dengineers are well ahead of

0:12:230:12:28

schedule, and one team member has impressed Olga big-time.

0:12:280:12:31

Soibi has done really well today.

0:12:310:12:33

She helped me painting, she was helping inside of the den.

0:12:330:12:37

She loved it, and I'm happy with it, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

0:12:370:12:41

I've had so much fun today.

0:12:410:12:43

When it's finished, it's going to

0:12:430:12:44

mean so much because it's going to help me achieve my dream.

0:12:440:12:48

It's day two in Manchester and the Dengineers are continuing work on

0:12:520:12:56

the inside of Soibi's journalism den.

0:12:560:12:59

Olga plans to turn one wall of the den into a giant chalkboard,

0:13:010:13:04

using special paint, but first,

0:13:040:13:06

they need to smooth over the walls with sandpaper

0:13:060:13:09

to make sure everything is level.

0:13:090:13:11

Step up Soibi the super sander.

0:13:110:13:14

Switch on.

0:13:140:13:15

With the walls mega smooth, me and Soibi can get painting.

0:13:190:13:23

Right, Soibi, let's go.

0:13:230:13:25

We make light work of the chalkboard wall and it gives me a chance

0:13:250:13:28

to find out more about what this space will mean to her.

0:13:280:13:31

Why is this den going to help you achieve your dream?

0:13:320:13:35

Because my little sister disturbs as I share a room with her,

0:13:350:13:38

and I can't get much done.

0:13:380:13:40

-But is she going to be allowed in here?

-No.

-Never?

0:13:400:13:43

-Maybe she could film you?

-Probably, yes, OK.

0:13:430:13:46

-I think it looks pretty good, don't you?

-Yeah.

-Done?

0:13:460:13:49

Done.

0:13:490:13:51

The Dengineers spent the whole afternoon building the inside of

0:13:510:13:55

the den, and whilst they push on, Soibi has an idea of how she can put

0:13:550:13:58

her journalism skills to use.

0:13:580:14:00

For my new den, I'm going to make a news report on what it was like when

0:14:000:14:03

the Dengineers came to my house,

0:14:030:14:05

so I'm going to interview people and do a bit of research.

0:14:050:14:08

If you had a choice to make your own den in your own back garden,

0:14:080:14:12

-what would it be?

-Oh, I know, that's simple.

0:14:120:14:15

It would be an art den.

0:14:150:14:17

If you could swap your job for any other job,

0:14:170:14:20

what would it be and why?

0:14:200:14:21

It would probably be to become a professional football player,

0:14:210:14:24

because it's what I always wanted to be when I was a kid.

0:14:240:14:27

What do you actually do?

0:14:270:14:28

Well, I do the sound, so without me, everything would sound like this.

0:14:280:14:33

SILENCE

0:14:330:14:35

Do you know the secrets about the den?

0:14:370:14:39

I know a few secrets.

0:14:390:14:41

-Can you tell me?

-I'm not allowed to tell you, because that's part of it.

0:14:410:14:44

All I can tell you is you're going to love it.

0:14:440:14:47

Day two of the build is coming to an end and this will be the last time

0:14:470:14:52

Soibi gets to see her den before the big reveal in two days' time.

0:14:520:14:56

So have a good look.

0:14:560:14:58

-What do you reckon?

-It's really good.

0:14:580:15:00

I'm glad you like what you see so far and I'm looking forward to see

0:15:000:15:04

your reaction on the big day.

0:15:040:15:05

Because I can't see my den any more, I'm feeling mixed emotions -

0:15:050:15:08

sad because I'm not going to see it,

0:15:080:15:11

but happy because it's going to progress and it's going to become

0:15:110:15:13

something better.

0:15:130:15:15

The team push on without Soibi

0:15:170:15:19

and start building her awesome news studio.

0:15:190:15:21

Olga has chosen acrylic for the backdrop of the studio,

0:15:240:15:27

because it looks really cool.

0:15:270:15:29

Be careful.

0:15:290:15:30

However, it's an extremely delicate material and one slip with the drill

0:15:300:15:35

could be disastrous.

0:15:350:15:36

I'm looking a bit worried because this is the most important part

0:15:360:15:40

of the den, so literally every single screw can damage the acrylic

0:15:400:15:44

and it can snap, and if it snaps, we have nothing to replace it with.

0:15:440:15:48

The team take great care with the drilling...

0:15:480:15:51

..and eventually fit everything to the walls without any mistakes.

0:15:540:15:57

The Dengineers have done a great job,

0:16:010:16:04

but unfortunately it does mean

0:16:040:16:05

they've fallen behind with the build.

0:16:050:16:08

Olga, it's looking great,

0:16:080:16:09

but you did design a retro TV for the outside of the den.

0:16:090:16:13

That's not happened yet. When is this going to happen?

0:16:130:16:16

We are slightly behind, it's true.

0:16:160:16:17

We're actually quite a lot behind, but I think we should be fine.

0:16:170:16:21

-Should be?

-Yeah, we should be fine.

0:16:210:16:25

As day two ends, the Dengineers know it's going to take an enormous

0:16:260:16:29

amount of effort to get Soibi's den finished in time for the big reveal.

0:16:290:16:32

Today was really, really hard.

0:16:320:16:34

We didn't manage to achieve what we planned,

0:16:340:16:37

so tomorrow we really need to work

0:16:370:16:40

very, very hard, so I'm a bit worried,

0:16:400:16:43

but if Dengineers can't do it, nobody can.

0:16:430:16:46

If Soibi is going to be a hotshot journalist one day,

0:16:490:16:52

I think it's time for her to learn some tricks from the best,

0:16:520:16:56

so I've brought her to Media City in Salford,

0:16:560:16:58

which is the home of not only CBBC,

0:16:580:17:00

but also Soibi's favourite news programme, North West Tonight.

0:17:000:17:05

They've only gone and let us have a VIP tour of the news studio!

0:17:050:17:09

Wow.

0:17:100:17:12

What do you think about this?

0:17:140:17:16

-It's really good.

-Our special access doesn't just get Soibi a seat

0:17:160:17:20

on the famous red sofa.

0:17:200:17:21

Oh, yeah, that's a comfy seat.

0:17:210:17:23

You see this camera right over here?

0:17:250:17:27

Underneath it, there's some words that will scroll up, and that's what

0:17:270:17:31

the newsreaders use.

0:17:310:17:32

Do you want to read out those?

0:17:320:17:34

This is the very same equipment that Soibi's favourite presenter

0:17:340:17:38

Annabel Tiffin uses

0:17:380:17:40

when reading the news to half a million viewers every day.

0:17:400:17:43

Good evening, welcome to

0:17:430:17:44

North West Tonight with Annabel Tiffin.

0:17:440:17:46

And now, it's Soibi's turn to try it out.

0:17:460:17:49

Hi, my name is Soibi and welcome to Soibi News.

0:17:490:17:52

On today's show, I'm having a behind-the-scenes tour

0:17:520:17:56

on the North West Tonight studio,

0:17:560:17:59

and I'm about to meet my favourite presenter, Annabel Tiffin.

0:17:590:18:03

Hi, Soibi!

0:18:050:18:07

-How are you?

-I'm good.

0:18:070:18:09

THEY LAUGH

0:18:090:18:11

Was this a bit of a surprise?

0:18:110:18:12

Yes.

0:18:120:18:14

Oh, how do you feel, Soibi?

0:18:140:18:16

Shocked.

0:18:160:18:17

You want to be a journalist?

0:18:170:18:19

-Yeah.

-Do you? I think you're going to.

0:18:190:18:21

I think you're going to steal my job, aren't you?

0:18:210:18:23

Annabel, have you got any tips for Soibi as an aspiring journalist?

0:18:230:18:27

I think you've got the confidence, haven't you?

0:18:270:18:30

Are you quite nosy?

0:18:300:18:32

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:18:320:18:33

She's already been digging a lot into what kind of den

0:18:330:18:35

she's going to be getting.

0:18:350:18:37

There's been lots of questions from Soibi already.

0:18:370:18:39

You need to be a little bit nosy,

0:18:390:18:41

and you just need to really be interested in people,

0:18:410:18:44

and I think you are that as well, aren't you?

0:18:440:18:46

Yes. I've always admired her on TV,

0:18:460:18:48

and to see her in person is really good.

0:18:480:18:50

I'm going to savour the moment.

0:18:500:18:53

Soibi is in dreamland right now, and the surprises aren't over yet.

0:18:530:18:57

So we've got you a little journalism bag with everything

0:18:570:19:01

you're going to need to get you going on the road to journalism.

0:19:010:19:05

-Thank you.

-Soibi's got all the kit she needs

0:19:050:19:09

to become an awesome journalist.

0:19:090:19:11

Time to test it out on her first interviewee.

0:19:110:19:14

If you could swap this for any other job,

0:19:140:19:16

what would you swap it for and why?

0:19:160:19:18

I'd swap it to work with dolphins, I think,

0:19:180:19:23

but I'm not a very good swimmer, so I think I'd better stay doing this.

0:19:230:19:26

Thank you, Annabel, nice meeting you.

0:19:260:19:29

-You too.

-Today has been, like, one of the best days of my life because

0:19:290:19:33

I've met my favourite presenter, I've visited my favourite TV show,

0:19:330:19:36

plus I'm going to get a den made.

0:19:360:19:39

Back at the den and the team are getting cracking on day three of

0:19:450:19:49

the build, and a fast start is vital for the Dengineers to have any

0:19:490:19:53

chance of finishing this den in time for the big reveal.

0:19:530:19:56

The first task is to make the old school TV screen,

0:19:560:20:00

and the team start by fixing coloured acrylic panels

0:20:000:20:03

to the front of the den.

0:20:030:20:05

Olga needs all hands on deck today,

0:20:050:20:07

and although Soibi can't see the den until the big reveal,

0:20:070:20:10

she can still help out away from the build, with the upcycle.

0:20:100:20:14

What are you going to need lots of in the research part of your den?

0:20:190:20:23

-Paper, pens and pencils.

-That's it, exactly.

0:20:230:20:26

So I've found lots of bottles,

0:20:260:20:29

and my idea is to turn those bottles into

0:20:290:20:32

storage for your stationery bits.

0:20:320:20:34

-OK.

-Something like that.

-That's amazing.

0:20:340:20:37

To transform these plastic bottles into cool stationery holders,

0:20:370:20:42

the first task is to carefully cut the bottles into smaller sections,

0:20:420:20:46

then Olga and Soibi glue a zip around both parts of the bottle.

0:20:460:20:50

That's it, brilliant, well done.

0:20:500:20:52

Let me hold it, you zip it.

0:20:520:20:55

Yay!

0:20:580:21:00

So Soibi, that's going to help you keep your den tidy.

0:21:000:21:03

Everyone has worked really hard throughout the morning,

0:21:050:21:08

but the team are still well behind schedule.

0:21:080:21:10

It's going to be an enormous effort from the whole team to have the den

0:21:100:21:15

finished, and the big reveal is coming.

0:21:150:21:17

Failing is not an option.

0:21:170:21:19

Olga needs all Dengineers on deck,

0:21:190:21:22

so it's cameras down and tools up for the rest of day three.

0:21:220:21:26

The Dengineers are making good progress,

0:21:260:21:28

but with the big reveal looming,

0:21:280:21:30

they have no choice but to keep working into the evening.

0:21:300:21:34

It's late at night.

0:21:340:21:35

I've got my paint. It's brilliant.

0:21:350:21:37

The best time to work.

0:21:370:21:39

And that means tonight's tea is served on site.

0:21:390:21:43

The Dengineers push on,

0:21:440:21:45

but as night falls, they're forced to call it a day.

0:21:450:21:48

It's the morning of day four and the team are on site early to try

0:21:500:21:55

and get this den finished in time for the big reveal.

0:21:550:21:58

Every member of the team is working flat out to add the finishing

0:22:000:22:04

-touches to Soibi's den.

-It's reveal day and we're not finished yet.

0:22:040:22:07

But Olga has just enough time to explain the engineering behind a

0:22:070:22:10

cool bit of kit that's going to help Soibi with her journalism.

0:22:100:22:14

Explain this to me.

0:22:140:22:15

-What is this wall?

-This is a green screen,

0:22:150:22:18

and the way it works, it isolates one of the colours, which is green,

0:22:180:22:22

which makes that colour invisible,

0:22:220:22:24

therefore anything filmed against

0:22:240:22:25

the colour can be projected on a different image.

0:22:250:22:28

So if you were to film me against this wall, you could put

0:22:280:22:31

a picture of the moon behind me and it would look like I'm on the moon?

0:22:310:22:35

Exactly.

0:22:350:22:36

This process of isolating or keying out a specific colour is often used

0:22:360:22:42

in TV shows, weather forecasts,

0:22:420:22:44

and it's used in loads of movies to make it look like actors are

0:22:440:22:47

actually in these magical worlds.

0:22:470:22:49

Soibi's journalism den is almost finished,

0:22:490:22:52

thanks to a colossal effort by the Dengineers.

0:22:520:22:55

There's no better painter on The Dengineers than moi.

0:22:550:22:58

With the end in sight, they make one last push,

0:22:580:23:02

and with only seconds to spare, Soibi's den is complete.

0:23:020:23:05

This garden used to be home to

0:23:160:23:17

a patch of grass and the family's bikes.

0:23:170:23:20

But Olga and her team of dedicated Dengineers have

0:23:200:23:24

worked their socks off over the past four days and transformed it

0:23:240:23:28

into an incredible journalism den for Soibi.

0:23:280:23:31

The garden is set for the big reveal and Soibi's friends and family have

0:23:340:23:38

arrived to see the finished den.

0:23:380:23:40

I think she deserves it, because it's like her life goal.

0:23:400:23:44

This is the one thing that she really wants in her life.

0:23:440:23:47

She just works so hard all the time, and I think it's really good for

0:23:470:23:51

her to have a treat.

0:23:510:23:52

I'm so excited to see my den finished for the first time,

0:23:520:23:55

because there's so many surprises.

0:23:550:23:57

I've never been more excited than this in my whole entire life.

0:23:570:24:00

And it's not just Soibi and her friends

0:24:000:24:03

who can't wait to see this den.

0:24:030:24:05

I know she absolutely loves the news.

0:24:050:24:07

I can't wait to see how they've managed to create a den which is

0:24:070:24:10

really for an aspiring journalist.

0:24:100:24:12

The waiting is over.

0:24:130:24:15

It's time to find out what Soibi and Co think of this amazing den.

0:24:150:24:19

-YELLS:

-Are you ready to see Soibi's den?

0:24:190:24:22

THEY CHEER

0:24:220:24:24

ALL: Five, four, three,

0:24:260:24:29

two, one.

0:24:290:24:31

THEY CHEER

0:24:310:24:33

Soibi, from first look, what do you reckon?

0:24:390:24:42

-Wow.

-Mum and Dad, what do you reckon?

0:24:420:24:45

Wow. Really good.

0:24:450:24:47

Soibi wanted a journalism den,

0:24:470:24:49

where she can practice and perfect her news reports,

0:24:490:24:52

and Olga and the Dengineers have delivered big time.

0:24:520:24:55

What's there, what's catching your eye first of all?

0:24:550:24:58

-The logo.

-What do you like about that?

0:24:580:25:00

I like the star and the way it says Soibi's News Studio.

0:25:000:25:03

The outside of the den has been built in the shape of a

0:25:030:25:07

cool old school TV, complete with a retro aerial,

0:25:070:25:09

and Soibi has even got her own personalised news logo.

0:25:090:25:13

Welcome to your news den.

0:25:130:25:16

Wow!

0:25:170:25:19

ALL: Whoa!

0:25:190:25:21

Come on.

0:25:210:25:22

That's good. Look at that.

0:25:250:25:28

There we are on North West Tonight

0:25:280:25:30

and now you've got your very own North West Tonight.

0:25:300:25:34

-What do you think?

-Wow, that's actually really good,

0:25:340:25:37

I didn't imagine it to be like this.

0:25:370:25:39

The inside of the den is split into two areas.

0:25:390:25:42

One half is a research area complete with upcycled stationery

0:25:420:25:45

containers and loads of storage for Soibi's notes,

0:25:450:25:48

and the other is a news studio complete with a green screen,

0:25:480:25:51

where Soibi can film herself

0:25:510:25:53

projected against any image she wants.

0:25:530:25:56

What's the thing that's capturing your attention straightaway?

0:25:560:26:00

It has to be the backdrop,

0:26:000:26:01

because I said I wanted something that would remind you of

0:26:010:26:04

a news studio, and you guys really, really brought that.

0:26:040:26:07

Oh, great news.

0:26:070:26:08

-We did a good un.

-This day is so amazing, I absolutely love it.

0:26:080:26:12

I'm so happy with all the designs and I'm really grateful for it.

0:26:120:26:16

We are recording in five, four, three, two, one.

0:26:160:26:21

Good evening and welcome to The World Uncovered with Soibi.

0:26:210:26:24

I love this new den.

0:26:240:26:26

Thank you to everyone who helped with this.

0:26:260:26:29

I can't explain how good this is going to be in part of my life.

0:26:290:26:32

-Oh.

-Yeah.

0:26:320:26:34

THEY CHEER

0:26:340:26:36

Amazing.

0:26:360:26:37

On a scale of one to ten, I love my den by one million.

0:26:370:26:42

Who wants to come and see?

0:26:420:26:44

EVERYONE CHEERS AND SHOUTS

0:26:440:26:46

Come on.

0:26:460:26:47

I think the den is really good and it's unique because it's got Soibi

0:26:470:26:52

printed out everywhere,

0:26:520:26:53

so you know it's definitely hers and not anybody else's.

0:26:530:26:57

These guys absolutely love the journalism den.

0:26:570:27:00

Now it's time for Soibi News' debut interview.

0:27:000:27:04

So Ricky, tell me, would you like a news den like this?

0:27:040:27:06

I'm so jealous.

0:27:060:27:08

I mean, I work in a news studio every day,

0:27:080:27:10

but I'd love to have something like this in my garden.

0:27:100:27:13

I tell you what, if the Newsround studio,

0:27:130:27:14

if we ever have a problem with it,

0:27:140:27:16

can we come here and do Newsround from your den?

0:27:160:27:18

Only if I get to be featured.

0:27:180:27:19

Fair enough, I'm sure we can work that out.

0:27:190:27:22

Soibi is going to be able to use that studio every single day,

0:27:220:27:25

so she's going to get so good at presenting and reporting.

0:27:250:27:28

-I'd better watch out.

-If you had to swap your job for anything,

0:27:280:27:31

what would you swap it for and why?

0:27:310:27:33

I would become a Dengineer,

0:27:330:27:35

so I could build incredible dens like this.

0:27:350:27:38

Our desire and our hope is that it will help her with her dreams.

0:27:380:27:42

It really provides an avenue for Soibi to showcase what she really

0:27:420:27:46

-wants to do.

-This experience has been life-changing.

0:27:460:27:49

I'm never going to forget it.

0:27:490:27:50

And if I ever become a really good journalist, I'll thank Dengineers.

0:27:500:27:53

This den is headline news here in Manchester,

0:27:530:27:57

so there's only one more thing to do.

0:27:570:28:00

ALL: THIS DEN IS DONE!

0:28:000:28:03

THEY CHEER
