TRANSCRIPT

Paula
So, the challenge has started, and Graham and Harry already have a letter! Ned left his hat at the BBC – oh, Ned! And Astrid and Eden are working out their first clue.

Astrid
Let's read it again.

Eden
This place is taller than you.

Astrid
Taller than you.

Eden
Taller than you!

Astrid
But shorter than the London Eye. The London Eye?

Eden
You know the London Eye! It's the big wheel! That's definitely taller than us!

Astrid
But the place we need is shorter than the London Eye. So, a tall place, but not that tall.

Eden
Look! I know where we need to go. Come on!

Harry
Dad. Look! This is amazing.

Graham
Come on Harry. We've got to be a bit quicker than this.

Astrid
It's up there.

It's up there.

This is exhausting.

It was hard. 

Eden
I'mmore exhausted than I've ever been.

Finally, we reached the top, exhausted.

Astrid
Edes. I've got it! It's here. R!

Eden
Ahh? What?

Astrid
R. The letter R.

Eden
Taller than us, shorter than the London Eye. Eee!!

Paula
So, Astrid and Eden have their first letter. Graham and Harry also have a letter. And it looks like Clare and Ned are… Oh.
