0:01:37 > 0:01:39It was dress up as a mouse day!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41It's something we did regularly at my school.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Just - hey, come in as your favourite mouse?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45And you're like, yeah!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Tallulah, your character Lauren can be quite negative.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16I've been studying hard for weeks.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Have you?- Well, not... Not really.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Ed, now, hang on a second,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I wonder if we've got a picture of Ed
0:02:23 > 0:02:25that we might be able to have a look at.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Oh, my goodness!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Which one's Ed?- Oh, I've got it. - Which one are you, Ed?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Just the coolest one, on the end, there.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36As you can see, we were the coolest gang in school.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You probably were, weren't you?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Naomi, welcome. You're the captain.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Do you know what? The vibe coming from over there
0:02:43 > 0:02:45is of a very competitive team.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48And I think we like to pretend we are not competitive,
0:02:48 > 0:02:49but deep down we are.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Do you know what I like?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55While you're speaking, Tallulah is just staring you down.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Hello.- You get to do loads of cool stuff on Blue Peter.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Have you got the nerve for Top Class?
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- No.- Great.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06So, what subjects would you like to come up, Barney?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08To be honest I wasn't really good at anything at school.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Is there anything that you think you can help answer questions on?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Yes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Good. Excellent. Please welcome the Jingle Bells,

0:05:47 > 0:05:51throughout the game you will get the chance to take control for each
0:05:51 > 0:05:53subject. Here's your first subject.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55It is...
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Science.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Great! - Here is your control question.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Which organ produces insulin...
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- Barney.- Pancreas.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08..produces insulin to help process all the sugar
0:06:08 > 0:06:09from the Yule log I ate?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11You said pancreas, you're absolutely right, Barney,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13you're absolutely right!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Well done. Jingle Bells, you have control of the game.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Here are the rest of your questions on the subject of Food Chains.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26You're going to see a food chain of animals in Lapland,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28however, it's all mixed up.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30You need to arrange it into the correct order,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33starting at the top of the food chain.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Here is your mixed up food chain.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Fox, lemming, grass, wolf.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Is it wolf, fox, lemming, grass?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- That's what I'd go for.- Yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I think it may be a trick question.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47The fox might be a hard case.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I can tell you right now, Top Class does not give trick questions.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54We think it's wolf,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58then arctic fox, lemming, grass.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Grass at the bottom of the food chain,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02that's what you've put as your order.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Let's see how many you've got right.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06All of them right!
0:07:06 > 0:07:10five points, Jingle Bells! Well done!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well, it's all about getting control of the game, and I can tell you,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15after that round, the Puddings have six points,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17the Jingle Bells have 13 points!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:22 > 0:07:24The next subject is...
0:07:26 > 0:07:27..Maths.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Here is your control question.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32This year, Father Christmas has increased
0:07:32 > 0:07:37the number of reindeer he has by 50% to improve productivity.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41He started off with eight reindeer, how many does he have now?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Barney?- 12.
0:07:43 > 0:07:4412?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It's the right answer, Barney, it's the right answer!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Here are the rest of your questions on the subject of arithmetic.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I head downstairs on Christmas morning.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00There are 20 presents under the tree.
0:08:00 > 0:08:07Two for mum, two for dad, ten for my little sister, and six for me.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11First question, what percentage of the presents are mine?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16So, ten plus six, plus two, plus two, is 20.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21If I've got six out of 20, then that's 30% of the presents,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- I think, isn't it?- Yes.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Yes. We think 30%.
0:08:27 > 0:08:2930%, is that the right answer?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It is, well done.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Second question:
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I pick out a present at random.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41What is the probability it's for my little sister?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44She's got ten.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It's 50-50, isn't it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- She's got half the presents. - Is it the percentage they want?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The probability. One in two?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56We're going to say one in two.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59One in two, that's how you're expressing it to me?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Oh, not necessarily. - You look really angry!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- One in two?- A one in two chance. - It's the right answer!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Well done, it's the correct answer!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Oh, that's mean, Susan.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13What is the mean number of presents per person this year?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17If your presents were bought by a really mean auntie,
0:09:17 > 0:09:18would they be the mean presents?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Not having it, are you? Mean number of presents...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25So, is that halfway?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Is mean the average?- The average.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Is that the mean? - Mean is the average. Yes...
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Oh, the median... I'm getting... Let's say... Go on.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Five.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Five?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39It's the right answer, well done.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42We are blagging this, amazing!
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Finally, Dad managed to wrap 15 of them
0:09:47 > 0:09:50in gold paper before running out.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53All the rest are wrapped in silver paper.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56What is the ratio of gold to silver presents?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I was asleep during maths.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Hang on, so, there is 20.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Five of which are silver.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08So, it's 15...
0:10:08 > 0:10:0915 gold, five silver.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Three to one.- Naomi?- Three to one.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Oh, I said that!- Three to one.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Three to one, is that the right answer?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Yes.- It is the right answer! Five points to the Jingle Bells!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:23 > 0:10:25At the end of that round, the scores are...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27the Puddings have 6,

0:10:29 > 0:10:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Here's your next subject.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34It is...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38..Geography.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Come on, we've got this!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Here is your control question.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46In Italy, gifts are said to be delivered by La Befana,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48the Christmas witch.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52But what does she ride instead of a sleigh?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Johnny?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56A gondola.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I can offer it over. Anyone want to buzz in straightaway?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Barney?- A broomstick. She's a witch.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04That's the correct answer!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Genius!- Genius, who knew that a witch flies on a broomstick?
0:11:11 > 0:11:12It's an obvious answer.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Barney is really showing himself up as somebody who
0:11:15 > 0:11:18pretends not to know a single thing,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22but has so far answered every single control question in the game.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Here are the rest of your questions

0:12:39 > 0:12:42As this is a special show, we have something a little bit different.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46I mean, there's no way we'd be able to bring any of your old teachers,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49we wouldn't be able to do that at all.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50We just couldn't do that.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Yes, we can. First up, I hope you've done your homework, Tallulah...
