I won a place on CBBC's Bamzooki (featured on BBC Norfolk website) |

Nine-year-old Joshua from Norwich has been chosen to appear in the CBBC show, Bamzooki. Here he tells us about his zook adventure!
|

Bamzooki is a CBBC television show where teams from around the UK battle their zooks against each other in various challenges.
Zooks are the creatures that you make with the aid of the zook kit, which you can download from the Bamzooki website.
I first got zooking about January this year when I came across it on the Internet.
I downloaded the zook kit and made my first zook. It took a little while to get the hang of it, but after a while I could make my zooks walk and then run!
The kit allows you to model and build zooks in any shape or size. You must perfect them to make them fast and strong.

Calling all zookers!
In April I saw a message on the Bamzooki message board saying that they were looking for entrants for the third CBBC series. I submitted four of my zooks: Sting-Fire, Crocodilian, Bull-Dozer and Trancherley, and then waited for what seemed like ages.
In May the BBC got in touch to say that I had got through to the last 80 from nearly 700! I still wasn't guaranteed a place on the show as there are only 35 places and I needed to get a team together.
 I asked my best friends from school, Alex, Curtis and Ethan to join and we decided on the team name of Canary Woolf.
The BBC came to my school and interviewed us, I guess to see if we would be OK for TV! That was in June and it was another two weeks before we heard the news that we were going to be on the show!
Filming in Norwich
In July the BBC came back to Norwich but this time with a camera man and a sound man.
 We started the day at Carrow Road, where Bryan Gunn met with us and showed us around the wall of fame and the stadium.
Bryan was being filmed taking part in a celebrity zook challenge which is a new feature for the show.
They filmed our team outside the grounds and then we went back to my house where they filmed us for about three hours in the garden - all of that for just a one minute video for the show!
In October we are going to the Elstree studios in London to film our part for the series. If, we get through our round, we will go back again to record the semi-final and hopefully the final. In the meantime you can keep up to date with our team at our website!
CBBC presenter Jake Humphrey, who is from Norfolk, will present the show which will be on television early in 2006. <back to news headlines>
