Merry Christmas! | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Whoa! | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
Today, we're going to surprise one lucky boy here in Essex and help him | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
build his dream den. | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
We're doing the surprise right here at his house. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
He's on his way home, so we need to get things set up. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
It's going to be... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-Marble-lous. -A-balling. -Oh, that's good. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-You like that? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Today's Dengineer is nine-year-old Ocean from Essex. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
I need help from the Dengineers because I love to design and make | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
marble runs and roller-coasters, but I don't have the space to do it. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
Ocean is a budding roller-coaster designer | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
and constructing marble runs | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
is the closest way he can work towards his dream. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
Ocean's always loved roller-coasters, | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
ever since he was really little. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
There was a small theme park near us and he went on a tiny little | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
apple roller-coaster and absolutely loved it | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
and wanted to go again and again. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
Life has been full of ups and downs for Ocean. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
A couple of years ago, his younger brother, Sky, passed away. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
It was obviously a tough time for the family. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
Sky was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was 13 months. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
They were so close, you know, almost inseparable. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
They did everything together and, all through his illness, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
Ocean just looked after him whenever he could. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
He was just always there for him. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
We've got such great memories of them having just fun | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
together as brothers. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
The biggest thing I miss about my brother is how he was very | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
enthusiastic and very funny, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
and you would never know what he was going to do next. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Thankfully, the house got a little louder recently when the newest | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
addition to the family came along. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
This is baby Coral Sky. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
And she's joined us a few months ago. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Ocean absolutely adores her. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:35 | |
Yeah, we feel she was sent from Sky, don't we... | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-Yeah, definitely. -..to get us up in the morning. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
I think Ocean deserves this den because of the way | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
he's been so brave. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
He's never put himself first, he's always thought about everybody else, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
and this is just a treat for him. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Please, Dengineers, I need your help. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Don't you worry, Ocean. Our help is exactly what you're going to get. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
You just don't know it yet. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
Ocean has been at a sleepover and is due home any minute, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
which means we've only got a short amount of time to get everything | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
ready in the house for the big surprise. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-Let's get in there. -Come on. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
We need to get a move on, rigging the house with our secret cameras, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
but that's not all we have to set up. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
We're building our very own Dengineers marble run | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
that's going to lead Ocean right into his surprise. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Time for a test run. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-Here we go. -Yes, yes. -Come on! -Yes! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
Works like a dream, my friend. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
-High five. -Sorted. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
Ocean's minutes away, so we need to get everybody into position. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
Are you guys ready? Are you guys excited? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
-Yes. -They've arrived home, so it's time to get this ball rolling. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
Right, OK. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
What's that? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
Oh, look. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
Where's it going? Follow it down. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
Where's it going? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-Hi! Hello. -Hello, Ocean. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-How are you doing? -Good. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
My name is Lauren and this is Joe, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
and we are from CBBC's The Dengineers. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
And, mate, we're going to build you your very own marble run den. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-Are you excited? -Yeah. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
How do you feel? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
First of all, I saw the marble run and I was like, | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
"What on earth could this be?" | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
But then when I came round the corner seeing all the cameras, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
I was like, "Oh, my gosh, can it actually be the Dengineers?" | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
So I was really, really shocked and happy. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
He is really, really excited. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
He's got some great ideas that he wants to build, | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
and he can't wait to get started. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:43 | |
Well, we can't stand here talking about it all day, | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
so shall we get this show on the road? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah? -Let's do it, guys. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
Give him a massive round of applause. Yeah! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Our first port of call is the Dengineers mobile HQ, | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
which has some mega cool technology to get Ocean's den rolling. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Welcome to the Dengineers mobile HQ, Ocean. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
So, in here, Ocean, is where we're going to take all of the ideas that | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
you've got fizzing around in your mind, get them onto this big screen | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
and come up with the design for your den. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
So, if you see anything you like, just grab it and slide it up, OK? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
-OK. -Awesome. Let's get stuck in, shall we? | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Right, now, before we start, who's in this picture, here? | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
Here's my dad. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-Yeah. -That's me and my mum there, and that's my brother, Sky, there. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
There you go, there's you and your brother, Sky. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
Oh, you guys look so cute. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
We're going to get a den that he's going to be proud of, all right? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-Yeah. -What sort of shape would you actually like the den to be? | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
Like, a marble shape, one like this. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
And that's for the outside, so like a giant circle? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
-Yeah. -What do you want to do inside? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Well, I'm going to have a sketch room so I can plan out | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
my designs for my future roller-coasters. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Anything else inside that you want maybe to play with? | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
Well, some marble runs, they have like a little maze section, | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
where there is a whole big maze in the walls and marbles go down it. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-That's a good idea. I like that. -Something a bit like that. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
I see what you mean. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
If you could have one thing to make it really special, | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
what do you think you'd have? | 0:06:13 | 0:06:14 | |
I'd really like just a room with me and Sky in it, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
with like a nice beanbag in there | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
and pictures around with Sky in it. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
That would be amazing, | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
because then that means that you can always think about all the fun times | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
you had together. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
Well, I must say, Ocean, this looks absolutely amazing. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-Are you happy? -Yes. -Excellent stuff. One last question, though. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-Where's it going to go? -Well, I've got a bit in the back of the garden | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
but there's a few weeds there. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
-I'm sure you could just chuck them out. -We can chuck them out. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-Do a bit of weeding. -Do a bit of raking. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Come on, let's go and have a look at it. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
Ocean has chosen the shape of a marble for his den, | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
a maze-inspired wall, a work station where he can draw his designs, | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
and a space to relax and remember his brother, Sky. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
So, this is the spot where the den is going to go, is that right? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-Yeah. -Awesome. -A few weeds, you said. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
There's quite a few weeds here to clear, but I reckon we can crack | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-on with it, can't we? -Yeah. -Right, come on, get cracking, shall we? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
So many weeds here. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
It's proving to be a pretty big job, so dad helps out, too. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
How does it get everywhere? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
I'm starting to get just a little bit nervous with Ocean | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
having all the control over the garden now. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
I might have bitten off more than I can chew here, everybody. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
-That's where the spider is, Joe! -Argh! | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
The biggest fear is that he'll build something that is just too big for | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
the garden, and take over. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
You know what? I think we're doing all right here, guys. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-It's coming along now, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
A little bit more and we'll be there. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:51 | |
And in no time at all, the space is cleared. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
Well done, everybody. Thank you, Dad, that was brilliant. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
-No problem. -Thank you. -From here on in though, Dad, | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
I'm afraid to say it is Dengineers only. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Which means you have to get out of here. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-Sorry. -See you later. -Toodle-oo. -Bye. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
With the corner of the garden ready, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:11 | |
the Dengineers team can get cracking with the den. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
And we've got the perfect designers to make Ocean's dreams a reality. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Meet Tony and Satwinder. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:22 | |
They're both awesome architects and lecturers who between them have | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
40 years' experience designing sensational structures. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
They're the dream duo for this den. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
So thank you for clearing out the space. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
It looks great, so we were having a think about the den and the shape | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
that it would take, and if you think about a marble shape, it's round. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
It might be a bit tight for space, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
so we've had some other ideas that might even be even more spectacular. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-Yeah. -And so inside, you needed a place to design, | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
because you're a budding roller-coaster designer, | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
so you want to be able to test out ideas and sketch things. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
So another idea that we've had is the fact that you could have a huge | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
marble run, like an entire wall of your den could be a marble run. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-How does that sound? -Really amazing. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
-Oh, wow! -And then the other thing we thought, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
you'd want somewhere that's kind of quiet and chilled out, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
you can kind of look out into the sky and think about your brother. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
We thought that would be a nice kind of calm, relaxing space. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-How about that? -Good. -Awesome. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Tony and Satwinder have designed a den that will capture the feeling of | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
a marble on the move. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
Inside the den there'll be a desk, | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
where Ocean can let his imagination run wild, | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
and a giant magnetic marble run wall, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
where he can bring his ideas to life. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
The feature window is shaped like a marble and also doubles up | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
as a seat where Ocean can relax. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
What do you think about all of our ideas? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
They're all fantastic. I love the big marble run idea. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
Brilliant, that's great. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
Excellent, let's get on with it. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
With Tony and Satwinder's ideas signed off, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
the ground works can begin. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
It's going to be a really big job. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
The shape of it is not the most straightforward. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
Yeah. We're trying some new things and I think we can do it, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
it'll be great. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:04 | |
Yeah, I think it'll be awesome. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
And Tony and Satwinder are making sure there's no room for error. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
I really liked Tony and Satwinder's ideas. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:14 | |
I think they're the right people for the job, | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
because they've got that enthusiasm and that spirit. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
Ocean gets stuck in, too. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
And what's the best part of the ground works? | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Having a go on the whacker, of course... | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
..which will prep the base for the solid slabs to be laid. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
And with the last few slabs laid, the ground works are complete. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
MUSIC PLAYS | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
It's day one of the build and the Dengineers have definitely arrived. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
First things first, we need to set up our mountain of kit. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
And we're off. The base is laid and the walls are put up. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
The team are making really good progress. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
That needs to come that way a little bit. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
-Wow! -And we're not even halfway through the first day of the build. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
With the Dengineers working hard, I get painting with Ocean. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
I really love painting. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
Can you actually believe that your den is going up as we speak? | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
-No. -So cool. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
One question I've got, have you got any idea what these are for? | 0:11:28 | 0:11:33 | |
No. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
The main structure of the den is up, so it's time for Ocean to have his | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
-first look. -Oh, hello. -Hello. -How are you? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
-Good. -What do you think so far? | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
-It looks really good. -Excellent. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
Do you like the big round window we've put at the front? | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
-Yeah. -When you're inside, you're going to have a special seat | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-in the window. -Yeah. -You'll be able to lie there, chill out in the den, | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
but also look back to the house as well. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-Yeah. -You happy so far? -Definitely. -All right, good stuff. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
The next big job of the day is getting the roof on. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
There you go. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
But there's a problem. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
Don't do anything. It's twisted somewhere, isn't it? | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
Push it all towards you a bit, David, if you can. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
So what is happening now is the walls are in and we're trying to get | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
the roof portion to fit in. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
If these walls are just slightly not square, it will mean this won't fit, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
so what they're doing now is just altering this a little bit | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
and with a little bit of patience and a bit of time, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
it will just pop in. And that's a natural thing that happens when | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
you're putting different pieces of materials together. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
-Watch those fingers. -Yeah. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-There we go. -There you go. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
What's happened now is the roof has just nicely slotted into the top, | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
so it's worked really well. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
And with the roof slotted into place, it's time to tackle the | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
upcycle and Tony has an amazing idea, using this table. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Right, Ocean, so you said you wanted a marble maze, so we thought we | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
could make one out of an ordinary table and we've already | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
marked out where the maze might go, and then using these bricks... | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
-Yeah. -..we'll glue them on to form the maze and then | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
we'll put a top on it. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
The first thing they need to do is drill a hole in the middle, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
so when the marble gets to the end of the maze it can drop through. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
Precision stuff. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
The next stage is for Tony and Ocean to make the maze | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
with building blocks. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
And in no time at all, the maze takes shape. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
With the maze complete, it's time to test it out. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Round the outside. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
Hey, perfect. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
So the next time you see this, it'll be all finished, | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
in your finished den. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:50 | |
Yes. That's so satisfying. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
The build today is coming along really well. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
All the structure is up. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
It was a bit tricky getting the roof on. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
Yeah, that was tough. The form looks fantastic, especially against the | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
tree, which is brilliant, so that's what we wanted. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
Yeah, and the view that you'll get from the house and the view back, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-I think will be the icing on the cake. -Yeah. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
I was really amazed how Satwinder and Tony had produced my den. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
It's looking very good and I really like the size of it. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
So all in all, it's been a pretty good day for the Dengineers. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
Let's hope that day two is just as productive. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
With an early start, the team are quick off the mark once again. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-Hi, Tony. -Hi, Ocean, how are you doing? | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
-Good. -Good. Can you give us a hand with this? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
Yeah. So what are we doing, here? | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
Well, this is going to be a steel wall for the back of your den, | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
so it'll be magnetic, but it's a bit dirty and we need to clean it. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
-OK. -So you need to put on a mask and the gloves | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
-and then you can give me a hand polishing it. -Yeah. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
Tony and Ocean are using white spirit to clean the metal, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
so they have to make sure they're wearing the right safety gear. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
And with Ocean hard at work, I want to find out from Mum and Dad why | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
this den will mean the world to him. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
I just wanted to ask you about Ocean, really, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
and what sort of boy is he? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
Amazing. He's been through so much and yet all the time | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
he's got a smile on his face. He'd give absolutely anything a go. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
Just everything about him makes us so proud. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
He's a very determined little boy, so when he puts his mind to | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
something, he will get there and he will do it. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Oh, yeah, it will be done. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:40 | |
I know you've been through a lot. Will you tell me about Sky? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
Sky was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was just 13 months, | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
and he then went through three years of treatment for that, | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
and that was really hard. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:51 | |
We spent a lot of time in and out of hospital. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
He had chemo every two weeks. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Ocean spent a lot of time as well in and out of hospitals. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
He was by your side through all of it. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-Yeah. -By our side, holding his hand, yeah. Absolutely. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Why does Ocean deserve the den? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
Everything he's been through the last few years with his brother, | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
Sky, it's not held him back in any way. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
He's always been determined to keep pushing through and he's been | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
-smashing, hasn't he? -Oh, yeah. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
He helps us to get through every day. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
And he's never wanted anything for himself, | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
he does loads for other people, so this will be awesome for him. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:23 | |
-Yeah. -It will be absolutely fantastic. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Just his little space on his own. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
Back at the build, the den is really taking shape | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
and everyone is getting stuck in. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
But before any more decorating takes place, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Tony just wants to make sure that the roof is doing its job. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
-Fingers crossed. -Fingers crossed. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
-How is it looking, David? -It looks really good. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
And with that good news, it's time to put in one of the biggest | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
features of this den. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
Tony and Satwinder are making a huge marble run out of steel | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
that Ocean can adjust and play with, | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
so I'm going to find out how it works. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
What's beautiful about this steel is it's magnetic. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
It's got north property, | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
so what that means is this is south property and... | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
North attracts south. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-Exactly. -Magnets. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
So they come together and they connect, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
so it's kind of like invisible glue, which is how a magnet works. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
The two ends of a magnet are called poles, north pole and south pole. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
Both of them have a magnetic charge. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Magnets are attracted to the opposite pole, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
so north attracts south and the same poles repel each other. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
They push each other away. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
So what we've done is we've taken the magnets and we've fitted them to | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
these pieces of timber, OK? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
So there are the magnets, there and there. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
So that goes on there, like that. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
Then we've got a longer piece here, which has got three magnets on it, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
and we put that on there like that. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
-Have you got a marble? -Yes, I have, I'm so glad you asked that. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
Well, why don't you give it a roll and see what happens. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
-Yeah! -Wahey! It works. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
Yesterday was all about the structure, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
but we needed to get inside today. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:11 | |
There's still a load to do tomorrow. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
It's all about the trims and finishing. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
I think we're on schedule, | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
but we need to keep at it to make sure we get finished on time. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
I really like the disc and the massive round window, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
because I can see where my mum and dad are coming out, so I can hide. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:29 | |
I definitely think this den is going to be done in time. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
I think the Dengineers can definitely build my dream den. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:36 | |
Morning. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
It's day three and time for the Dengineers to get back to business. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
Tony and Satwinder want to create the illusion of a marble rolling, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
so the first tricky job for the team is to attach red beams, | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
one at a time. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:55 | |
We've got this plastic surface and we're putting loads of | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
holes in it, and it could crack, so we've got to be really careful. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
We've only got one shot at this. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
We can't get it wrong, so there's no chance to replace anything. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:06 | |
Leaving the rest of the team with that delicate job, | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
it's time for Ocean to take a back-seat. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
This is the last time he'll see his den before the big reveal. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
We've got some big surprises coming in now, | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
so we're going to have to say goodbye. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
You've been an amazing help, but it's time to go now. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-Cheers. -See you later. -Thanks. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
The past three days have been really good. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Everybody is getting stuck in and I'm getting really excited to see | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
the den tomorrow. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
While the rest of the team work on the finer details, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
I've got a great treat for Ocean. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
I've brought him to one of Britain's busiest theme parks, to get some | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
inspiration for his future career as a roller-coaster designer. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
-Have you been on that one? -No. -Have you not? | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
-We could do that. -Yeah. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
First stop, we meet Dominic, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
who's worked in theme parks all over the world. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
If anyone knows what makes a good roller-coaster, it's this guy. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
Dominic has very kindly come over to show us round today. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
So why do you want to be a roller-coaster designer, Ocean? | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Well, I've always liked the thrill of roller-coasters and I've always | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
wanted to entertain people. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
-Brilliant. -And is it designing it from a creative point of view, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
or designing it from a technical point of view? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-Which one are you interested in? -Creative. -Creative. Oh, fantastic. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
Dom gives us a behind-the-scenes exclusive and takes us | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
into the Swarm workshop. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
This roller-coaster reaches a maximum speed of nearly 60mph | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
with nothing above or below you. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
How abouts did you come up with the idea of this design? | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Something like this takes about three to four years in the making. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
So we get our creative people and they think, right, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
well, what can we do? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:44 | |
This was like an alien beast kind of explosion. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Then we go and start creating it. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
What qualities do you look for in a designer? | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
So for a technical designer, it's engineering, maths and science. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
You need to do well at school in them, and then for a creative | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
designer, it's coming up with imaginative ideas, so the Swarm, | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
coming up with the theme of an alien and then telling that story. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
-Yeah. -Right, I want to see what you guys are like | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-at roller-coaster designing. -OK, great. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Dom's challenge for us is to design our very own roller-coasters. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:16 | |
-Have you named yours? -Yeah. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:17 | |
Fury Flame, that's a really good name. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
And we can probably guess who's going to win this one. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
OK, my ride is called Malcolm's Fury Omelette. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
-What do you reckon? -I think my money is on Ocean. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
-Right, Ocean, what have you got? -My ride is called Fury Flame. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
-Wow. -You do a loop the loop and you have a double spiral | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
and you have a 70mph bit. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
Love it. You guys have done really well today. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
I've got a treat. Come on, follow me. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
And what a treat it is. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
OK, so in order to be a good ride designer, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
you've got to experience all the different forces, | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
so we're going to go on the UK's first wind coaster. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
-Ready to go? -Yes. -Let's do this. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Looks like Ocean is well up for this. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
I, on the other hand, am a little bit nervous. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
It's going to be brilliant. You ready to spin? | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
-Yeah. -Here we go. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
So what's great about this ride is it spins you 180 degrees before | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
plummeting down a 127 foot drop. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Argh! | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
And the track is as long as two Olympic sized running tracks, | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
or 127 great white sharks. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
Whoa! | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
Woo! Did you like that? | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
-Yeah. -Brilliant. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:51 | |
It's been an amazing day today just getting to see behind-the-scenes. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
I definitely enjoyed the ride, | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
because of the force pushing you back. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
-In the end, it's just an amazing experience. -Whoa! | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
What an incredible day out for Ocean. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
I'm not sure Joe enjoyed it as much though. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Oh, oh! | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Back at the build, the team are working flat out to get the den | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
finished in time for the big reveal tomorrow. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
And the last piece of the jigsaw is about to go in. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
The window is kind of the centrepiece of the design, really. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
It's representative of a marble. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
Down, down. Right, you're on. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
It is a bit nerve-racking, because it's a big sheet, | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
it could crack, and it's plastic again, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
so it's the same problems we had with the batons. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
Once it's securely fixed in, all that's left is to unveil the window. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:52 | |
MUSIC PLAYS | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
-Go on. It looks really good. -Wicked. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
Really nerve-racking getting the window on, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
but it went on beautifully. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
They've done a great job and no cracking, | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
and we've got the batons on and no cracking, so we're really happy. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
Day three has been a really big day. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 | |
It's looking amazing. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
We just need to make sure it's looking its absolute best tomorrow, | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
and we hope that Ocean and his family love it. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
With the big reveal looming in just a few hours' time, | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
the Dengineers have to get this den looking as good on the inside as it | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
-does on the outside. -Wrong way. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
-Oh, wrong way. -That way. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
And Tony and Satwinder are smashing the clean-up operation. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
But there's no time for sitting around. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Ocean's family and friends have arrived. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
I'm really excited to see the den. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
When I last saw it, it looked really amazing. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
Tony and Satwinder have definitely put in all their ideas. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
It's been very tempting to have a quick peek, but we haven't. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
We've been very good. I'm not sure if we're worried about it or not. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
-Slightly nervous. -Don't worry, Mum and Dad, | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
it's time to get this ball rolling. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:13 | |
This part of the garden was unused and neglected. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
But Tony and Satwinder have pulled it out of the bag once more. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
The den is a marble-lous masterpiece. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
-Guys, are you ready to see the den? ALL: -Yes! | 0:25:35 | 0:25:40 | |
Three, two, one. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
Oh! | 0:25:44 | 0:25:45 | |
A stunned silence there. What do you think, Ocean? | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
I think it's really amazing. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
Mum and Dad, what do you think? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
-It's absolutely amazing. -Yeah, no, that's incredible. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
I could never have imagined it looking like this. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
Absolutely fantastic. | 0:25:58 | 0:25:59 | |
Using racing red stripes, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
Tony and Satwinder have really given this den a sense of movement and the | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
marbles in the window are a touch of brilliance. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
There is some pretty special stuff that we've got in there. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
-Shall we go in? -Yeah. -Come on, mate. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
-What do you think of this? -It looks amazing. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
Good, isn't it? Now, you asked for a design station where you can start | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
getting your roller-coaster designs together, | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
so that's what we've got you here. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
As well as the fully equipped desk, | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
there's the upcycled maze table and a place for Ocean to relax in. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:36 | |
So one of the things you wanted, Ocean, for your den, | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
was a place where you could come and sit and remember Sky, | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
so we've created this awesome area. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
-What do you think? -I think it's really clever. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
He would love this place. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:48 | |
Oh, I'm so, so glad. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
And I must say, I think my favourite bit in this whole den | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
is the magnetic wall, so on this we can now build endless marble runs. | 0:26:54 | 0:27:00 | |
Literally the best wall I've ever seen. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
I think my den is absolutely amazing. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
It's probably the best thing ever. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
I would give up all my birthday presents just for this den. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
-Shall we get Mum and Dad in? -Yeah. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
-Mum and Dad? -Come in. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
-Come and have a look. -Come and have a look. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
-This is incredible, isn't it? -It's amazing. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
What a great view, you can watch everything out of the window. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
The den is amazing. It's more than I ever thought it would be | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
-and just the little touches. -It's just brilliant. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
Do you think Tony and Satwinder have done a good job? | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
-Definitely. -Do you like it? -It's amazing. Thank you so much. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
-Oh, brilliant. -Yeah, we're really pleased that you like it. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
It's been great to work with you. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
So, Ocean, are you happy with your marble run den? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
I'm speechless. I can't... | 0:27:44 | 0:27:45 | |
This is the most amazing thing ever. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
-Oh. -You deserve it, mate. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
Thank you so much. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:51 | |
Looks like the marble run den has rolled down a treat. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
So there's just one thing left to do. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
-ALL: -This den is done! | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
CHEERING | 0:27:59 | 0:28:02 |
