Welcome to a very special episode of The Dengineers. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
Yes, today we're at a children's hospice on the Wirral | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
to surprise a group of children with the news that they're going | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
to get the den of their dreams. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
And strap yourself in because this is going to be | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
our biggest build yet! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
Today's Dengineers are the amazing folk of Claire House | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
Children's Hospice, a Children in Need supported project. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Dengineers, we really need your help to build us | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
an awesome den for our new hospice. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Where we can make lasting memories with our friends and families. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
A hospice is a place that provides care for children with | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
life-limiting conditions and their families. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Ready, Hol? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
A big part of what | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
we do is supporting the family | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
and that's really important for brothers and sisters. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
There's one, Shea. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
That support carries on, sadly, when a child dies. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
Providing care afterwards is so important. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
We used to come to the pool and we've got videos of Ellie | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
and Mia having fun. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
They're memories that are just so important to us. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Mia's sister Ellie spent a lot of time here before she sadly died | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
when Mia was three and the hospice has played a huge role in helping | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
her deal with the loss of her sister. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
She can speak to kids who have gone through the same things | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
and you can see the fun they have. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
It's quite a lonely place if your brother or sister has died | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
and the hospice really helps them. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
You can see that they grow up and it's not a scary thing. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
The hospice is opening a brand-new site in Liverpool so they can | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
reach even more seriously ill children and their families. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
And it just so happens there's an area around the back that is | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
perfect for a dream den. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:38 | |
The work that we do with these families is all about creating | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
memories that last a lifetime. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
If we could make a den outside for all the children | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
and their brothers and sisters, it would be absolutely brilliant. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
These guys really need our help, Joe. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
And that's exactly what they're going to get, | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
they just don't know it yet. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
For today's hit, we've come to hospice HQ | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
and our merry band of Dengineers have been busy | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
fitting their super-spying hidden cameras all over the place. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
-I'm a bit nervous. -I'm excited. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Our Dengineers have started to arrive at the hospice | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
and Loz and I have the perfect watch-out spot just above reception. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
There's a lot of them, isn't there? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
There's parents, siblings... | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Ooh. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:23 | |
OK, thumbs up. Come on. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Everyone is in position, time to deliver the amazing news. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
-Sorry, sorry. Hello, hello, everybody. -Hi. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
So we've got a little bit of a surprise for you this morning. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Actually, it's a massive surprise. My name is Joe. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
And my name is Lauren. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
And we're from CBBC's The Dengineers. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
CHEERING | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Now, we've heard that there's a second hospice site being | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
built over in Liverpool and you guys are going to need a space | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
where you can play with each other, where you can relax | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-and you can all hang out, does that sound right? -Yeah. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
The good news is that's exactly what you're going to get. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
Not just that, it's going to be the biggest den we've ever built. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
I was like so surprised, I was like this... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
I'm so excited, and it's basically been my dream to build a den. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:30 | |
-Who's up for a bit of hard work as well? -Me! | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
-Are you sure? -Yeah. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
I'm excited about when we make the den. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
It'll be fun to build it with all our mates. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
There's very few places that children who've got complex | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
health care needs, in wheelchairs can play together with | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
their brothers and sisters. So to be able to do that will be brilliant. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
It's lovely to meet you, Shea. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
I'm really happy, I'm really happy. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
It's going to give opportunity for kids and siblings and mums | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
and dads to have memories which are more important than anything. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
Our first port of call is the Dengineers' mobile HQ which has some | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
mega cool technology to get this den rolling. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
And it's Ruby, Mia and Liam | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
who are representing the hospice Dengineers. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Now you all use the hospice in different ways | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
so you're like the best people to have in here to tell us | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
what you're going to need from the den. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
You guys are in charge here. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:28 | |
We're going to take all those ideas that you've got buzzing around, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
get them onto this massive screen | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
and we can work out how we're going to make this ginormous den. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
Have a little look, see what you like. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
This so that you can chillax in there, like. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
Wow, lovely use of chillax. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
I like the disco one there. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
That does look amazing, doesn't it? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |
So like a party room maybe. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
I love the idea of a dance and boogie. Guaranteed fun. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
I think this because it represents family. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
It's like important to have memories with your family. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
Why are memories important to you? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
I lost my sister a few years ago and I always think of her | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
when I'm at Claire House and have fun times. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
That's what it's all about, isn't it? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
Remembering the really nice times you had together. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
What do we think it might look like? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
Could have like a treehouse? | 0:06:18 | 0:06:19 | |
Great stuff, tell us about this picture? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
It's a boy and he donated his treehouse | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
so that families could enjoy it too. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
And his name's Carson. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
That's amazing, so maybe that's something | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
we could incorporate into the den. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
Liam, what are you into that you'd quite like to see in the den? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-Cars. -Ah, you like a bit of speed do you, Liam? -Yeah. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
How can we incorporate speed or something into the den? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-A zip wire. -Zip line. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
You could have a zip wire through the whole den? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
And it could be for disabled people as well. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-That would be so cool! -Wow. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Dengineers Ruby, Mia and Liam have decided on a tree house theme | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
for the hospice mega den, with areas to party, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
chill and make amazing memories with their friends and family. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
Oh, and they'd love an exhilarating zip line too. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
But who will make our Dengineers' dreams a reality? | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
Meet Sege. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
With over 30 years in the building biz, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
he's perfect to take on | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
our biggest den ever. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
But for this beast, Sege is going to need help so he's drafted in | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
fellow designers Olga, Maral and Tony and Satwinder to help out. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
Now, I know all your Dengineers couldn't be here today | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
but I'm going to explain the den to you so you can go away | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-and tell all your friends, yeah? -OK. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
I think we should create a bit of a village that's all | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
-up in the air, on stilts. Does that sound good? -Yeah. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
I've designed these places where you can all go | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
and hang out, all your parents and your friends and your siblings | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
and just have a lot of fun in your own little wonderland. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-Yeah. -You all like to communicate in different ways, don't you? | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
We use sign language and use our eyes to communicate. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
Well, I've got a surprise for you. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
There is a special part of the den | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
where you can all communicate, all together. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
It's just going to be fantastic and I think you're going to love it. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
-And how about a zip line? -Yeah. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
And wouldn't it be good | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-if I could get you in there with your chair, Liam? -Mmm. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
I think that's very, very doable. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
What do you think to the designs? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-Amazing. -Really?! -Brilliant. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
So, am I good to go then? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
-Is this the sign off, can I get started? -Yeah. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
Fantastic, I can't wait. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
Sege's plans for our biggest den ever have been given | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
the stamp of approval from the Dengineers. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
He's designed a treehouse-inspired village, including places to | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
communicate, party and chill out with friends and family. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
As if that wasn't huge enough, Sege has also designed a zip line | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
which is accessible for every child at the hospice and a happy path | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
which will contain hundreds of happy memories sent in by CBBC viewers. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
I didn't think it was going to be that good | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
and I'm really looking forward to building it. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
This is a fantastically big den, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
it's the biggest build we've ever had to attempt on the Dengineers. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
It's going to mean so much to the kids | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
so it's really, really important that we pull this off. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
Plans signed off, the team start preparing the hospice ground | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
for this colossal build | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
and I get together a group of Dengineers to help | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
with a spot of housekeeping. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
Jan, Lesley, you are both wonderful, we love you very much | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
but we've got a message for you. You ready, everybody? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Three, two, one... | 0:09:29 | 0:09:30 | |
Get out! Dengineers only! | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
And you haven't got a T-shirt, so see you later. Bye. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-We've got to go. -We still love you, bye-bye. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:39 | |
I'm really, really excited about it. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Although a bit nerve-racking to hand over the control, | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
it's going to be amazing. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
For our families, time is precious so having a den like this | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
outside our hospice, what more could you ask? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
For this build, Sege is planning to raise the entire | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
den off the ground using 170 logs. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
We have got to shift all of those logs over there. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-Are you up for it? -Yeah! -Yes! | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
These logs are needed all over the site to be put | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
into the hundreds of holes created by the Dengineers' digger. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
OK. Wow, that's a lot of log. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
That's very heavy. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
Yes, OK. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
That's it everyone. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:29 | |
I do this stuff all the time. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
No, you don't, you can tell you don't. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
If you placed all 170 logs on top of each other, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
they'd be roughly the same height as three Big Bens! | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
It's just weird because I'm in the gym all the time. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
-Really? -Joe was terrible at lifting them and he lies, | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
he says he goes to the gym but you could tell he doesn't. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
Has it got to be like high, can we just like, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
do a normal one on the floor? | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
No? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
Whilst Joe and co take a well-earned break, the rest of the team | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
push on and get all the logs set into the ground. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
With the ground ready, it's time for the rest of the Dengineers' | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
team to arrive, and they arrive with roughly 3,000 metres of timber. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:19 | |
If you laid this timber on top of each other it would be the | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
same height as 1,687 Seges head to toe. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
This is the biggest den we've ever done, it's huge. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
My worry is I may have gone too big because | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
when you think about the amount of time we've got to do this in | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
compared to the amount of work we've got to do, I am more than worried. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
Hold that tight for me, Puds. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
The Dengineers have well and truly moved in | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
and Sege has a task that needs some immediate attention. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
One of the biggest jobs we've got to do this morning is chainsaw | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
all of these stumps down to a certain height, | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
so it's very important we get them almost millimetre perfect. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
If we get the calculations wrong and cut the posts too short | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
we have a problem, which would give me so much grief it's unreal. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:10 | |
Whilst Dengineer Derrick gets stuck in carefully cutting down the | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
stumps, our Dengineers help me make some refreshments for the team. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
Instead of just boring old water, how about we make some fruity water? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
-Yeah! -The man in charge, | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
it's Sege the Ledge - what kind of fruit would he have? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Cucumber? Because he's tall and thin. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
Sege and that looks exactly the same to me. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
There are around 50 people working on site | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
so the Dengineers carry on making lots of fruity drinks... | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
..and I catch up with Leyton | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
who has a special connection to this treehouse theme. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
My little brother Carson had a treehouse. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
Carson was energetic, happy | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
and he always loved everyone. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Leyton's brother Carson was very ill | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
and spent lots of time receiving care at the hospice. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
It was a nice place to stay. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
It was comfortable for Carson, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
there was lots of different rooms where he could play and have fun. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
When Carson got quite poorly, what was one of the things that he | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
-really wanted. -He wanted a treehouse. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
And that's exactly what you got for him, didn't you? | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
What was the treehouse like? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:20 | |
It was quite big and he'd play games and relax and read books. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:27 | |
I used to read him books, it was special. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
The time came for Carson to move to the Wirral hospice full time | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
and his awesome treehouse came with him. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Carson sadly died shortly after, | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
but his treehouse is still there | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
for other children to enjoy as much as he did. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
They like to play and hang out with friends | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
and they like to just get away from everyone | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
if they're feeling upset or unhappy and that's really special. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:56 | |
The Dengineers' drink break has done the job and the refreshed team | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
start to construct the steel frames for the den's amazing zip wire. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
A part of the den which has given our Sege | 0:14:05 | 0:14:07 | |
a bit of an engineering headache. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
It's very important that this zip wire is accessible to | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
everyone at the hospice, so we've had to create a basket-shaped cradle | 0:14:13 | 0:14:18 | |
so that the wheelchair can go on and their carer. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
It must give you a few engineering challenges. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
This is the first time I've ever worked with a zip wire | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
and I've learnt a lot. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
Your regular zip wire has just one cable on it, doesn't it? OK. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
Let me just show you first how a zip wire on one cable works. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:37 | |
-OK. -So if you just care to take that end. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-Imagine this is one person. If I send one fella down... -Yeah. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
-..that's how that works. -That was intense. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
-But watch this. This is the cradle. -It's the basket? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
-Yes. So keep it nice and tight. Watch what happens. -Nightmare. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
-Not good and do you know why it's not good? -Why? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
-Look how that is tipping. -It's not even, is it? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
It's not even. So anybody in the cradle is going to fall out. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
So how have you solved that problem? | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
-On this zip line... -Yeah. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
..we're using two, two cables. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
I think this is one of the first times this has been done. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-Now watch this. -Yeah. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
So do the same again, Joe, keep it nice and tight, go a bit lower. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
-Like that? -OK. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
-Look at that? -How good is that? | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
That's like the best zip line ever and everybody here can enjoy it. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
This zip has been designed with two wires instead of the usual | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
one wire system to help spread the weight and balance the cradle. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
For an added bit of engineering wow, | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
there's a special pneumatic brake at the end of the zip which reacts | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
and adjusts to whatever weight is inside the cradle, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
allowing for smooth stopping no matter how many people are in there. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
Back on site and Dengineer Derek has worked his socks off to | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
finish cutting all the logs down to size. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
Despite the great start, the reality of the huge | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
scale of this build has really hit home with Sege. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
I'm really, really concerned that I really have bitten off more | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
than I can chew on this one. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:06 | |
I've promised these kids that they're going to get this den | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
and I've got to deliver. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
It's day two of our gigantic build in Liverpool | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
and after a quick site inspection from Dengineers Mia and Ruby... | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
This is amazing. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
That can be for wheelchairs as well, they can get up it. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
..it's time to welcome another top designer onto site. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-Hi, Olga. -Hi, you OK? -Yeah, you? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
What I've done is called in the other designers as well to | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
give me a hand on this and I've got Olga doing the party zone. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
She understands fun, this is her all over. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
Olga's designed the perfect party zone where our Dengineers can | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
customise the whole space to celebrate any occasion they want. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
Birthdays, discos, even a VIP space to spend time with their family | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
and friends, they are the boss of this place. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
The walls of the Party Zone are currently being constructed | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
but things aren't moving fast enough for Sege. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
We are really, really struggling at the moment. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
It's looking like I might need to get some extra help. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
Whilst Sege calls in the reinforcements, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
Olga needs the Dengineers' help away from the den with an awesome | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
upcycle using some lollipop sticks. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
I've designed a section of your Party Zone where you can | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-dress up, take pictures, have loads of fun. -Wow. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
So what we're going to do, we're going to use these lollipop | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
sticks and turn them into props that you can put in front of your face. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
So today, I quite fancy having a beard and a tie. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
-What do you think, does it suit me? -Yeah. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Dengineers George and Ava pick some fun stencils... | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
-I want to do a bow tie, please. -A bow tie for you. -Beard. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
..and then draw around them on some card and cut them out. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
I think the Party Zone is going to be so important to people | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
because if something's just happened close to them, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
they can just go in there and have a good time and not be in a mood. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
You all deserve it so much and you're going to have | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
a lovely time there with all your friends and family. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
Props cut out, it's time for our Dengineers to decorate them | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
and add a splash of personal style. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
-Shall we show it? Is that looking good? -Yeah. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
Would you like a tie? There's some glasses for you. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
Here we go, smile! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
The extra Dengineers have arrived on site and are getting stuck in | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
and away from the den, Ruby and Mia have a surprise for designer Sege. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
So we heard that you're a dancing fan, is that right? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Yes, I am a dancing fan. Yeah, I love dancing. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-Well, you're going to like this. Come in, guys. -Oh! | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
Yes! | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-How are you? -Come on! | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
How are you? You don't know how much I wanted to meet... | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
Oh, this is my dream come true! | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
CBBC legend Ore Oduba won Strictly Come Dancing in 2016 | 0:18:59 | 0:19:05 | |
and Karen Clifton reached the final with Mark Wright in 2014 | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
so these guys are perfect to teach our Sege | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
some awesome jive kicks and flicks. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
So you have one, two, three, four, switch. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
One, two, three, four. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
One, two, one, two. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
-One, two, three, four. -OK. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
Come on, let's try it together. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Five, six, seven, go... | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
THEY COUNT OUT STEPS | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
Yes! | 0:19:33 | 0:19:34 | |
-That's not bad. -That's really good. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
I can't tell you how excited I am. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
I love dancing and if I wasn't a den builder, I'd love to be a dancer. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-What about if our Dengineers got involved? -Brilliant idea. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
Five, six, seven and... | 0:19:48 | 0:19:49 | |
THEY COUNT OUT STEPS | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
That was excellent, guys. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
Sege is bossing the jive moves, but it's not me he needs to impress. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
It's Ruby, Ava, Mia and George. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
Dancing the jive, it's Karen and Sege. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
Go! | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
The judges' scores are in. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
A-mazing. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Oh, what?! Ten? | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
Fabulous. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
Fantastic, thank you. Oh, that's brilliant. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
-It's a ten from Len. -Ten! | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
I didn't like it, I loved it! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
What they said. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
THEY CHEER AND LAUGH | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
This is my best day ever! Dancing with Karen has been special, | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
it's been better than Christmas as far as I'm concerned. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
I thought that Sege was incredible. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
Here's a guy who's ready to take to the Strictly Ballroom | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
dance floor, he's on it. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
I want him to be my partner. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
Over on site, the team have been working hard all afternoon | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
and it's time to pack up for the day. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
And I'm heading off-site to see what everyday life | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
is like for Dengineer sisters Ruby and 15-year-old Holly. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
So this is a suction machine and when Holly coughs, we use it | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
to clear her throat out, but we're not allowed to get this dirty | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
because it might infect her throat and she'll have to go to hospital. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
That's just for a cough, something that's so small for us | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
is such a big and dangerous part of her life. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
This is a sats monitor and it checks Holly's heart and her oxygen level. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:49 | |
If it beeps, it means she needs to go on more oxygen. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
-And you look out for that? -Yeah. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
So this is the tube that has oxygen in so if someone steps on it, | 0:21:55 | 0:22:00 | |
it like cuts off her oxygen so we really need to be careful of this. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:05 | |
Don't put it anywhere near me, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
take the oxygen away and I won't break it, I promise. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
Holly's condition means she can't walk, talk or eat. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
But that doesn't stop her communicating with her friends | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
and family. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
I normally stroke her hand, talk to her | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
and she communicates with her eyes. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
Holly's feeling OK now, she's kind of relaxed, she might go to sleep. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
-You must be the closest sisters in the world then. -Yeah. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
You can communicate without even talking. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
Ruby does so much to help care for her sister | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
and I want to find out more about this from Mum. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
I don't think I've ever met anybody like Ruby. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
The carer aspect of their relationship, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
is that something that has just developed naturally? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
That's just her as a person. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
She asks to do these highly | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
medically skilled | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
interventions all the time. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
The beauty of it is that she doesn't see it as a responsibility, | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
she sees it as just being with her sister. They are best friends. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:06 | |
The hospice is such a big part of your life, do you think having | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
the den is going to really improve the quality of life that | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
Holly's got and you have as a family? | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
I am always thinking that one day | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
I'm not going to have Holly with me... | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
But I'm always going to have the den there | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
and I'm going to have these special memories that will mean more to me | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
than anything I can't really put into words how amazing | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
this is going to be for us as a family. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
-Give me a cuddle. -I know. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Our Dengineers have been working really hard | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
so I'm giving them a break from the build to come to this | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
forest in North Wales which is home to some awesome adventures. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
And first up today is the Alpine Coaster, a high-speed | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
toboggan that runs on rails through a super windy, woodland trail. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
-Is it scary? -A little bit. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
And for one Dengineer, going on this ride is a big deal. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
-Liam, you're up first, you up for it? -Yeah. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:10 | |
Liam's condition means he spends most of his time in a wheelchair | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
and as a result he's never been on a rollercoaster before. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:20 | |
Good luck, guys, see you in a bit! | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
What will it mean to Liam to be doing this? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
Aw, he loves it, he loves speed, | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
he doesn't get an opportunity to do anything like this. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
So I'm made up we got him in. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Did you think you'd ever get to go on something like this? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
-No. -It's so exciting. -So he's just like the others, isn't he? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
Liam and healthcare support worker Alex are at the top | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
-of the 710-metre course. -Here we go. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
Time for Liam's first ever high-octane coaster experience. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
-Come on Liam! -He's going so fast. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
LIAM WHOOPS | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Did you see him come down that corner? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
THEY CHEER | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
I've never experienced anything like that cos it was really fast. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
Liam's set the super speedy pace and next up are his fellow Dengineers. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:32 | |
Go, go, go faster. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:34 | |
I've got a fly up me nose! | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
Finally, it's my turn to take on the Alpine Coaster. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
This is so much fun! | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
Oh, my goodness me. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:48 | |
Yeah, I did it. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
Tree coaster negotiated, | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |
I join the other group of Dengineers on the towering tree-top nets, | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
which stand a whopping 18 metres above the forest floor. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:03 | |
Who can jump the highest? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
Higher, higher. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Wow, trick! | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
Do it again. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:14 | |
Go! Yeah! | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
All this jumping has tired me out a treat so I grab | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
a breather with our Dengineers' mums and dads to talk | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
about the huge role this amazing den will play in their lives. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
It's not often you get out to do stuff like this, is it? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
No, very rare, because obviously Holly's care is 24 hours a day. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
The hospice is caring for Holly for us today to allow us | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
to spend that time with Ruby, which is invaluable. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
I think it's totally understandable | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
that Holly isn't here today but it's such a shame | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
and what I'm really looking forward to with the den | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
is that it's going to be a place that she can access | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
as well as all the other kids. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
When you see these children and the difficulties they have | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
every day to deal with, to then go into a place and just be a child, | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
be with their siblings, to have that environment that is specially | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
built just for them, there's going to be nowhere else like it | 0:27:02 | 0:27:06 | |
and we're going to have that den in our hospice, how lucky are we? | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
You know, so exciting. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
There's only one way to finish a brilliant day like today | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
and that's with a game of Dengineers versus dads dodge ball. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
Go! Get them. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |
10 points if you get the dads. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Take them down! | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
Hang on, don't hurt the Dengineers, we've got a den to build. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
Join us on the next part of our biggest build ever as we work | 0:27:40 | 0:27:44 | |
as hard as we can to get this den done in time. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
It won't be easy and there'll be bumps along the way. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
Whoa, whoa! | 0:27:52 | 0:27:54 | |
But with some top teamwork from everyone on site | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
and a bit of help from our CBBC chums... | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
You're doing a rubbish job, paint better. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
..we'll do everything possible to give this hospice | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
the dream den they deserve. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
CHEERING | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 |
