Could you work behind the scenes?

In this week's Blue Peter, we are all about behind the scenes! So, we thought we'd invite you to join the Blue Peter production crew and give you a job running the autocue. Make sure you check it thoroughly for mistakes, we don’t want Richie or Lindsey reading out the wrong lines!

What is an autocue?

An autocue - sometimes known as a teleprompter - is a device that is used for live TV broadcasts, like the news and big studio shows. It is used so the presenters don't have to memorise thousands of lines and instead they can just read them from a screen straight into the camera.

Blue Peter doesn't normally use an autocue as Lindsey and Richie are good at remembering their lines, but lots of other TV shows do!
