0:00:05 > 0:00:06Ears on and eyes forward.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08It's CBBC's party time,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11and that means 15 minutes of jam-packed Whoops I Missed The Bus.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Oh, aren't we the lucky ones?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16There's no cake, but there is plenty of this.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20And they're off.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22What on earth are these three up to?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Do I have a moustache? No.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Am I a woman? No.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29And you guys are well into it all.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33It is mysterious, adventurous, exotic...
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Now, they might not be able to make balloon giraffes
0:00:36 > 0:00:39but they can flog their way onto centre stage any day of the week.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41It's our resident vloggers Laura and Myles.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Giraffe, you say?
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Let me give this a go.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Let's get this party started.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Hang on, who let Lauren and Rhys out of their bedrooms?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Oh, this can only end in trouble...or mischief.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Either way, I'm excited.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59There are books and authors.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Mmm, and sandwiches.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03It's Awesome Authors, live in Birmingham.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12CHEERING
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Right, so, are you up for a challenge?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16It depends. What is it?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Whoever takes the best selfie today wins.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20What's the prize?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Loser buys winner an ice cream.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Deal.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Nicola Davies, you have written a book
0:01:25 > 0:01:26all about poo.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Why?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Cos poo's very useful stuff. OK.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32When you're a biologist,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35poo can tell you lots of things about an animal.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'm having a competition with my other vlogger
0:01:37 > 0:01:39about who can get the best selfie.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Could you help me out and maybe we could do an animal-themed...?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43SHE GROWLS
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Now, I have to ask. I'm a complete geek girl myself -
0:01:45 > 0:01:47what inspired you to write the book?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I was a massively geeky teenager.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51I had, like, dinosaur posters and I had rock collections,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and I named them all and gave them little tags,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55so I was the ultimate geek girl.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I kind of wanted to write a story about what it felt like
0:01:57 > 0:02:00to be an outsider and not part of the cool gang.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Rhys... Yeah. ..it's Sam and Mark.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03It's Sam and Mark! Laura, can we...? Chill, Laura.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Look, we're in public. Hey, Sam, Mark! Oh! It's Sam and Mark.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09You've got some pre-written notes stuck to your back.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Stick them on your forehead.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12OK. Laura, you go first.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Do I write fiction?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Am I alive? No.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Am I a woman? No.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's David Baddiel. Hello.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20What made you want to start writing children's books?
0:02:20 > 0:02:21My son, basically.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I've got two kids, but my son said something one day
0:02:23 > 0:02:25that gave me an idea.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27He said, "Why doesn't Harry Potter run away from the Dursleys..."
0:02:27 > 0:02:30You know, the horrible muggle family that he lives with? Yep.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32"..and try and find some better parents?"
0:02:32 > 0:02:34And I said, "I don't know but that's given me an idea."
0:02:34 > 0:02:36The idea was a book in which children
0:02:36 > 0:02:37could choose their own parents.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40That was The Parent Agency, which I wrote a couple of years ago.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Have I written more than one book? No.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Am I an author? No.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, no.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48What has been your favourite part of Awesome Authors weekend?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51My favourite part was getting a signature from Lindsey
0:02:51 > 0:02:52and meeting Hacker, and this.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Hacker T Dog? I've seen him around somewhere.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56He is around here somewhere. Where is he?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57It's Philip Ardagh.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Lost And Found or The Next Step?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Having no idea what either of them are,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'd say both
0:03:02 > 0:03:03but just small portions.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Both, but small portions.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07That's a good answer.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Three, two, one.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Let's ball.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Use that tiki-taka football. One-two, one-two.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14It's a game of two halves. Well, not here.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We've got about 30 seconds, so please score.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Would you have any tips for any budding authors out there?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Take a really exciting science news story
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and then say to yourself, "What if?"
0:03:23 > 0:03:24So, ask the big "What if?"
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Ask the big "What if?" And go there.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Travel across the universe.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Don't think small, think big. There we go.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34POP MUSIC PLAYS
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Do I have a moustache? No.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Am I on CBBC? No. Oh!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It's David O'Doherty and Chris Judge, everybody.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43BOTH: Whoo!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45You guys have written a book called Danger Is Everywhere.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47If that is true,
0:03:47 > 0:03:48where is the danger?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Because I'm getting a little bit scared.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Like, this table, for instance.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53It could flip, guys. Look...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55ALL: Whoa!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Hey! THEY LAUGH
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Come on, guys. People have paid good money to watch this.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, it is a free event but you know what I'm talking about.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Are we going to guess this? No, you've no chance.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08You are the canteen assistant from So Awkward.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09Allan!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Stick to vlogging, will you? Losers.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yes! No!
0:04:14 > 0:04:15You've only gone and done it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16High five.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Ronaldo! Sorry...
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Ronald-no!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Pretty good day, all in all, Laura. And do you know what?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I reckon I totally won that selfie competition.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yeah, whatever. Come on, let's have a look.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Come on. I like that one. Yeah. All right. That's fine.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I think we have a winner. Yes! Yeah, OK. All right. Yes!
0:04:31 > 0:04:32That's a really good one. Supreme.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Shall we get your ice cream, then? Yes, please.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Can I have a 99 with a flake, please?
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Strawberry sauce and sprinkles.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Maybe some chocolate sauce, too.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Do you have any of those little sweeties? Do you know what?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm just going to leave you here in Birmingham. Laura...
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Actually, can I have raspberry sauce with chocolate sprinkles, too?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Let's have some milk, as well. Do you guys serve milk?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Chaos! And while Rhys carries on with that ice-cream order,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56you lot have been creating vlogs of your very own.
0:04:56 > 0:04:5915-second fans, the stage is yours!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Hi, guys. I just wanted to say that
0:05:02 > 0:05:03I love all the CBBC shows,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05especially The Next Step.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07They have such drama in it
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and they're really good characters.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10I just love it.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12CBBC is the best!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I can't stop watching it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Lovely work.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18My favourite show's How To Be Epic At Everything
0:05:18 > 0:05:20cos it makes you epic.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21It shows how to see backwards,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24how to do magic tricks...
0:05:24 > 0:05:26how to...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29do a spin, like Beckham.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31It's just hard to keep up.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Do you know what I mean? It's so good. Well done.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37My favourite TV shows are The Next Step and Wolfblood.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39The Next Step because it's got really good dancing
0:05:39 > 0:05:41and it inspires me to dance.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44And Wolfblood because they just go on loads of adventures
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and you don't know what's going to happen next. Get in!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50My favourite TV show has got to be Wolfblood
0:05:50 > 0:05:52because it's mysterious,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54adventurous, exotic
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and it is always interesting and exciting.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It is never boring.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I absolutely love Wolfblood!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Great work, my 15-second beauties.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Now, I don't know how or why an Airmageddon drone raced a bike,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12but I'm glad it did because it's right rare stuff.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Ha-ha, rare-mageddon.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Play the clip.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Nearly two metres tall,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20weighing just under 80 kilos.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22He is one of the fastest men,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24on a track bike, in the world.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29The Weaponised Assault Ship.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Wasp, for short.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Weighing in at 5.8 kilos
0:06:33 > 0:06:36and 1.6 metres wide,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38this thing can seriously sting.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43For this race,
0:06:43 > 0:06:44both drone and cyclist
0:06:44 > 0:06:46will do one lap of the Velodrome.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49The one who crosses the finish line first wins.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And they're off!
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Not a great start for the Wasp,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10a bit slow off the mark there.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Andy's seen his chance and he is running away with the lead.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Andy's already halfway through the lap.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Wasp really needs to put its foot down to stay in this race.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Andy is speeding to the finish,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Wasp hasn't even made it to the halfway line.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32KLAXON
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I have been wondering what Hank Zipzer's been up to recently,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and if you also are sitting at home saying,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48"Oh, Myles, you've just said what... I have also been wondering,"
0:07:48 > 0:07:52well, at his school, there has been a top-teacher contest.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Hank!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Will you make a speech tomorrow explaining why I should be
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Westbrook's top teacher? You bet! Oh, yes!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Will you make a speech tomorrow explaining why I should be
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Westbrook's top teacher? I'd be honoured, miss.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08SHE SIGHS Well, thank you, Nicholas!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Thanks, Nicholas. Ms Adolf and Mr Rock have chosen who they want to
0:08:10 > 0:08:13do their speeches and Hank is worried about what to say
0:08:13 > 0:08:15in his speech, because a speech is a big thing.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17You know, doing a speech, you've got to make sure
0:08:17 > 0:08:18you say all the right...
0:08:20 > 0:08:21..words.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Mr Rock is Westbrook's best teacher. That's obvious.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26So why is my speech so lame?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28LASER SOUND EFFECT
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Wait... Got it! Everything's better with sound effects!
0:08:31 > 0:08:33"Everything's better with sound effects"?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34I mean, I'm not sure I quite agree...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36SLIPPING NOISE, CRASH!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Why was there a banana in my... in the bed...? Why was...?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42And why do bananas make such a loud sound, anyway?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I mean, sure, Hank, for a speech,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47more sound effects could make it more interesting.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Livens it up, keeps the audience entertained,
0:08:49 > 0:08:50but not for every type of speech.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52You're in a church, getting married -
0:08:52 > 0:08:54"Do you take this man to be your husband?" "I..."
0:08:54 > 0:08:56BOOING
0:08:56 > 0:08:59All this top-teacher business, as well, is happening on April the 1st
0:08:59 > 0:09:02and, if you know your dates well, that's April Fools' Day,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06the day of jokes, pranks, hilarious goofs and spoofs.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It's also the start of a brand-new, beautiful month.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Just explain to me why you want to ban April Fools' Day.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13It's just a waste of time.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I got horribly pranked this April - when I asked my friends if
0:09:16 > 0:09:19they wanted to hang out, they said they were busy!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22And then on April the 2nd, I said the same. Still busy.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25But anyway, top-teacher speech. Let's get back to that.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26I wouldn't know what to write for that.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I did have a really good teacher once who told me
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I could do anything that I set my eyes on,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34erm...but then told me I did need glasses and moved me
0:09:34 > 0:09:35to sit at the front row of the class,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37so I could do anything I set my eyes on,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40as long as it was right in front of my face and I was squinting.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Step into the future at Westbrook.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45You won't believe your eyes.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I know everyone's laughing,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49but I think she does deserve to be top teacher after that.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Why would you laugh at a teacher who's just turned into a robot?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55She's grown past human existence and turned into a machine.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58This isn't a laughing matter! This is science!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Also, it's all made out of cardboard,
0:10:01 > 0:10:04but even robots have feelings. That's my shoulder, but...
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And maybe even on April Fools' Day, the day of laughing and goofing,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09we should be aware not just of how people feel,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12but how robots do, too, and that top-teacher award,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15maybe it should go to the teacher of life, giving us the lesson...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16SLIP! CRASH!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18So many bananas on the fl...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I don't think sound effects make everything better.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22BOOING OK, I'm sorry!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So, today I'm vlogging about Taking The Next Step...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Actually, do you know what? I've changed my mind.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35I can't take this any more.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Getting up early in the mornings, filming vlogs... I quit!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Today, we want to see you talk. We want to see you come to life.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Well, hang on a moment. That's not what you said in the dressing room.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46That's what we just talked about.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I think we need to be clear, because...
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Can we just stop filming for a moment? OK, stop, stop.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52What happened?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55You see, now THAT...is acting improvisation!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58LAUGHTER It's called good acting, darlings!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00So, last week's Taking The Next Step saw day two of the
0:11:00 > 0:11:04national auditions, and the dancers were given an acting challenge.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08The theme we'd like you to act out today are four dancers
0:11:08 > 0:11:10at a dance competition.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Now, maybe you're just arriving at the competition,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14seeing who you're competing against...
0:11:14 > 0:11:17OK, well, how hard can improvising be?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Prrrr! Prrrr! Mah! Mah! Mah!
0:11:19 > 0:11:20What do you think you're doing?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's...my warm-up before I audition for nationals.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26"Warm-up"? You sound like a cat on fire.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Wow! If you think that, then...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Erm, I've forgotten my line.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Oh, wait, I don't have a line.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36SHE SIGHS
0:11:36 > 0:11:37OK, so it's harder than it looks,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41but it's a good job that it's this lot doing it and, erm...not me.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You've got those stretches. Look what I can do.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Ah! Oh, my gosh! Someone call an ambulance! I will!
0:11:49 > 0:11:52My gosh! Who knew that improvisation could be so intense?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Also, in this episode of Taking The Next Step,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57it is absolutely full of drama.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59We've made a decision.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03SHE SIGHS
0:12:03 > 0:12:07You guys will not be going through the next round.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09We'd like to take you with us to the next round.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16O-M-D, it was so intense! Something to lighten the mood?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19DANCE MUSIC
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Tee Cee, I loved that. You are taking vlogging to the next step.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Do you get it? "Taking The..." Ah, never mind. It's time for...
0:12:32 > 0:12:33'This is the life.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39'On my favourite carpet, watching my favourite CBBC show, List Of Names.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42'It's brilliant fun, but it never lasts long enough.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47'So you fold that bit up there, then you tape that side up...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49'I could do with a pen to note this down.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51'Actually, I could do with a pair of hands.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56'That would make being an art ninja a lot, lot easier. Heh-heh-heh!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00'Seb, I'm watching Wolfblood and it's a bit tense!
0:13:01 > 0:13:02'Oh, much better!
0:13:02 > 0:13:08'CBBC dramas are great, but it's even greater when Seb comforts me!
0:13:08 > 0:13:12'Sophie! I've lost the telly again!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15'Oh, there it is. I am silly.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19'# CBBC... Hoooo... #'
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Now it's time to take all of last week's best bits,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26mush them down into a fine paste and soak it up with your eyes,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28just like you would do with any paste.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Don't do that. But do watch this.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Once her nose touches the ball... Mm.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35..you push your thumb down on the clicker... Mm-hm.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37..and replace it with the meat...
0:13:37 > 0:13:38like that.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42You ready to give it a go? Mm-hm.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46On the other hand. Use the target.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Look at that! Kathleen didn't even flinch.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52It was just like treating a bigger version than my pet cat.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54"Bigger"? You mean huge!
0:13:54 > 0:13:55# When I was out in the arcades
0:13:55 > 0:13:57# Guess who walked in, wearing some dark shades?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59# A not completely unattractive girl, but still
0:13:59 > 0:14:02# She was hogging all the car games On a caravan trip with my auntie
0:14:02 > 0:14:04# I look up at a cliff, who do I see?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06# It's getting ridiculous, now
0:14:06 > 0:14:08# You'd think I was making up this, I wish, pal
0:14:08 > 0:14:10# The cinema... Clem The high road... Clem
0:14:10 > 0:14:12# If you want to step onto my road I don't think I can hide again
0:14:12 > 0:14:14# I might just be out of my mind
0:14:14 > 0:14:16# Cos when I turn on the TV, yes, it was televised
0:14:16 > 0:14:18# I even saw Clem in my clementine
0:14:18 > 0:14:19# Whoa, maybe it's a sign
0:14:19 > 0:14:21# I ain't sure, but it's playing on my mind... #
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Lindsey! How many miles did the mission patch have to travel
0:14:24 > 0:14:26up to to go to space? These are silly questions!
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Throw it at her! Two miles!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It was 200 miles!
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Yes! Barney, name the original illustrator of The BFG.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Er, that is, uh...Quentin Blake. Quentin Blake!
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Argh!
0:14:40 > 0:14:41I love this game!
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It's all going on down there, look.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45There's a lad there with a bit of paper, look.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46LAUGHTER
0:14:46 > 0:14:49There's a girl on her phone. She's just on her phone, she doesn't care.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50There's a little lad.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54She's got a bit of paper, that girl's got some paper...
0:14:54 > 0:14:55They've all got bits of paper!
0:14:55 > 0:14:58That's it for another week, but don't shed a tear - you can catch up
0:14:58 > 0:15:02with everything you've seen here, plus much more, on the CBBC iPlayer.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06But for now, my friends, I am packed up and ready to board that bus.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Or not. Off it goes. Good job I've got me hiking boots, innit?
