And so finally to Blue Peter!!! 
Before we got to the studio we had a good look around the BP garden.
From the BP garden a nice man called Simon - no not that one - took us to see that last few minutes of the rehearsal.  The studio was very crowded as there was an inflatable rugby pitch taking up a lot of room.  But we were very close to the action and got to stroke Mabel and Lucy.  We then had a drink and went to a special room right next to the production suite.  From here we watched the producers and the rest of the team put the show out.  It was really interesting, they had 6 screens one for each of the 6 cameras.  There was a lot of screaming such as "a bit of 6" (being use camera 6), carisma 4 (a special effects way to change to another camera) and it all sounded a bit odd.  But the final version that went out looked great.
After the program finished we went back to studio and meet Connie and Richard.
Richard had the final surprise for me - a GOLD Blue Peter Badge!!!!!
The whole afternoon was really great - Thank you very one at the BBC.
