On a warm Friday afternoon during the summer holidays 20 VERY excited Beavers from 3rd Ashton on Mersey Beaver Colony met at Park Road Primary School in Sale, after a short delay due to the coach going to the wrong school (!) we eagerly climbed on board and took our seats. We were off on very exciting adventure to the new Media City in Salford to take part in one of the first Cbeebies shows to be filmed in their new studios called "Justin's House" featuring the one and only Justin of Mr Tumbles fame!

During the show we would have to help sing the theme tune which we had on CD and played all the way to Media City much to the amusement of our very understanding coach driver who was more than grateful to turn it off on our arrival.

We pulled up outside a very futuristic looking modern glass building at Media City and made our way to the entrance where we had to sign in and collect our limited edition "Justin's House" wristband which would gain us access into the studios.

After several trips for a last check at the toilets the production assistants began lining everyone up ready to go through.The excitement and noise level increased somewhat as we were shown into the studio and the children 'oooed' and 'arrghed' in amazement at their first look at the set of "Justin's House".

There was a brief talk from the floor manager about not looking straight at the camera and the children were introduced to Justin's friends Robert the Robot (who likes cake), little monster and Dee Livery. The children all joined in with singing the theme song which we had learnt so enthusiastically and joined in with Justin and his friends whilst they baked a cake (I'm sure you can imagine how messy it got!) and welcomed his Auntie Justina on a visit.

We had an amazing day and the Beavers are still talking about it, one Beavers summed it up "that was the funniest most exciting day I have ever had".

Thanks to Carlie for organising it and thanks to Anna at the BBC.

The show is being shown on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 11am and 5pm on the Cbeebies channel. The shows we were part of are being shown on 22nd & 23rd October. If you missed them they can be downloaded on BBC Iplayer!
