0:00:00 > 0:00:03- Hi, I'm Amelia.- And I'm Imogen.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05We're 12 years old.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06And if you haven't guessed...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08BOTH: We're identical twins!
0:00:10 > 0:00:14This summer, we are going to crack Wimbledon.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16But there's just one small problem.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18We've tried playing tennis...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Sorry!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21..and failed.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23We got shouted at too much as umpires.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25- Out!- Are you kidding me?!
0:00:25 > 0:00:29And being ball girls was too much hard work.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31So we need to find some things we can do...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Take a breather!
0:00:33 > 0:00:34..to turn Wimbledon...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Salsa!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38..into to Twinbledon!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Right, Imogen, this is our last chance to get into Wimbledon.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48But, Amelia, we still don't know what we're doing.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52We've tried everything, and the only thing we're good at is talking.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Maybe there isn't such a job that we can just have fun,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58chat to each other, put our feet up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Nah.- Surely the answer's out there somewhere?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Let's go!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Hey, Imogen. There's this famous ex-player, Tim Henman,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10who's offered to help us.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11He sounds cool.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Yeah, he's even got a gold Blue Peter badge.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15I'm in!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Morning, girls.- Hi.- Hi, Tim.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29When he played, Tim Henman was ranked British number one.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32He started playing tennis before he was three,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36and even has a hill named after him at Wimbledon.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39OK, so the first drill that we're going to do is we're going to...
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Why are the balls this colour?
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Why is the tennis net that high?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Why are our rackets this shape?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Why aren't we playing on grass?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48How come you've got a hill named after you?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49How come you didn't win Wimbledon?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, girls!
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I think I've got a better idea for you two.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Why don't you try some commentating? - What's that?
0:01:56 > 0:02:00It's when we talk about the matches that are taking place on the court
0:02:00 > 0:02:01so the people viewing at home,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04we can give them an insight into what's happening.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07After Tim retired from playing tennis,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09he began to commentate instead.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12He was able to regroup and produce a lot of great tennis.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16OK, girls, I'm going to give you my top tips for commentating.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19As you're going to be commentating on each other,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22what we've got to try and do is tell something to the audience,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24something that they didn't know.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26So is there anything about Imogen that we should know?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Yeah, she snores really loudly.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I don't snore, I just heavily breathe.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33OK, that's one. That's an interesting one.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So my second top tip for commentating is
0:02:36 > 0:02:39when the ball is in play, that's when you've got to be quiet.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Are you both very good at being quiet?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43THEY HUM
0:02:49 > 0:02:52BOTH: Not really.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54So my third and final top tip for commentating
0:02:54 > 0:02:57is it's really important that you know the difference between
0:02:57 > 0:03:03a running forehand top-spin lob, and a delicate crosscourt drop shot.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- What are they?- Well, girls, I think we've got some work to do.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07OK, Imogen.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10You can use the racket handle as the microphone.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And let's have a little look at Amelia playing against Riley.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19OK, what have you seen so far, Imogen?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22That Amelia's using her forehand really well.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- It reminds me of Andy Murray. - Oh, excellent.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28That's good, I'm sure Andy will be really pleased with that(!)
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Right, so, Amelia, can you tell me some interesting facts
0:03:32 > 0:03:34about Imogen on court today?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, she's very untidy.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Is she?- Yeah. And she doesn't really...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41She just leaves clothes out on the floor.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Not good at folding them up? - No, not really.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Are you good at that? - Yeah, I am.- Are you?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50OK, girls, that was a really, really good start to commentating.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54But I still think you need a bit more practice.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Well, we're still going to practise a lot.- Oh, that's good.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- So maybe see you at Wimbledon? - Definitely!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05What was the most embarrassing thing that happened to you
0:04:05 > 0:04:06on the tennis court?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Well, the most embarrassing thing was in 1995 when I accidentally hit
0:04:11 > 0:04:14a ball girl with one of the tennis balls, and I got disqualified.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16THEY GASP
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Thanks for not hitting us with the tennis ball.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22That's OK. You were safe today.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Thanks, Tim. Bye.- Bye, girls.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Today we're going to try and put Tim's tips into action
0:04:31 > 0:04:32and practice commentating.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35But what can we commentate on?
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Roger, a six-year-old cute labradoodle.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41He's wagging his tail.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Now he's licking my hand.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Now he's moving. Oh, now he's gone!
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- He's gone!- He's wagging his tail, going to see my mother.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Oh, look, here's the mum-of-three making a cup of tea.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Now she's putting the teabag in the teapot.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57It looks like she's putting in the milk first.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Oh, that shouldn't be allowed.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Girls, do you have to commentate on everything that I'm doing?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04We're practising being commentators.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Go and pester Dad instead.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Here's Dad in his natural habitat - the lounge.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Girls, I'm trying to watch the match.- Oops! Come on.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Clearly we're not going to get any help at all.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Thankfully, Tim has arranged some help for us at the zoo.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24The zoo? That's weird.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- I still don't understand why we're here.- I don't know.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29We just got told to come here.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Oh, well. Let's go and see the giraffes.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- They're so cool. - Look what it's doing.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Excuse me, girls?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Oh, look, it's Ore Oduba!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Not only did Ore win Strictly last year,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48but he's also an amazing commentator covering all the big sports.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Now, I heard that you wanted someone to help you commentating on sports.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55So why are we at the zoo?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56Are we going to watch the giraffes play tennis?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Imogen, you are a joker.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04But the thing about sports commentating is that you should
0:06:04 > 0:06:09be able to commentate on absolutely anything - whether it's football,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11whether it's rugby, whether it's tennis,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15whether it's giraffes in their pen.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Make it exciting.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20There's nothing like watching something on the telly
0:06:20 > 0:06:24and snoozing off because it's boring.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You've got to make it exciting, make it interesting.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Make it entertaining.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30How do you know so much about commentating?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34When I was your age, guys, I used to commentate on absolutely everything.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I used to commentate when I was playing computer games.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I used to commentate when I got my cereal out in the morning.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Did it annoy your mum?- Yes, in fact, she couldn't get me to shut up.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I mean, the thing that you'll find, guys, is that I just generally keep talking.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I mean, it could be a really lovely day, the birds tweeting...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52'Is that what we'd be like?'
0:06:52 > 0:06:55'Yeah, it is really annoying.'
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's enough.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- Gosh, I thought we were bad.- I know!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- I think we should commentate ourselves now.- OK.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Shall we put them into action?- Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07You and I are going to head to the penguins.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Come on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17What we have in this tank are two penguins.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Knick-Knack and Brachio.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I'd like you to commentate on Knick-Knack, Amelia.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I'd like you, Imogen, to commentate on Brachio.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Your minute starts now!
0:07:29 > 0:07:30We're here today at London Zoo.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33My penguin is Knick-Knack and he's swimming around.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36And my penguin's Brachio. He's swimming superfast.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I can see him now, he's meeting his friend and saying hello.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Did you know penguins can swim up to 20mph?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- He's trying to find some food. - He's done a 360.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49He's coming up to the window and he's saying hello.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Keep going, five more seconds.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53And he's swimming some more, swimming some more.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Take a breather!
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Well played. Imogen, high five.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Amelia.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Very well done, both of you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07As far as I'm concerned, you have passed the Ore School of Commentary.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14This is it. We made it to Wimbledon.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15How does it feel, Imogen?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Like we've really made it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Yeah, let's go and have an explore.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Wow, this is so cool.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Did you know they use 60,000 tennis balls here?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33The longest match took three days.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35That's a lot of tennis.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38We love it here!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Look, that's where the commentators sit and do all that talking.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Oh, yeah! Surely they won't mind if we give it a go?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I mean, we're basically pros now.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Let's go.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53We're going to crash Sam Smith's commentary booth.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56She's one of the best tennis commentators here.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Hi, Sam.- Hey, girls. - We're going to do some commentating.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Can we help you on this match? - Yes, that would be great.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Why don't we all put our headsets on,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and we can watch some Roger Federer.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08'She wants us to commentate on one of the best tennis players
0:09:08 > 0:09:10'in the world.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11'No pressure!'
0:09:11 > 0:09:13It's a beautiful day here at Wimbledon,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and Roger Federer is on the court.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Oh, look at that beautiful backhand.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22What about that volley, Imogen?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24That was a brilliant volley.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I can barely watch.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Oh, that was right on the line.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32And he's just won the point with that.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- How good was that?- I think he could go all the way this year.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Do you know what, girls? I think I can leave you to it now.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I think you've got the job.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Actually... We didn't really want to work at Wimbledon.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47We just wanted to enjoy the tennis, and the celebs, and hang out.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49All right, you go and enjoy the tennis.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- I'll get back to work, OK? - Good, thank you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Bye.- Thanks a lot for your help.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Well, Imogen, we finally made it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02After all our hard work, now we can relax.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Better make the most of it. I'm not sure they'll have us back next year!
