Air date: Apr 06, 2005

Simon was keeping his distance when he was joined by a shoal of piranhas from the Weymouth Sealife centre and an expert. Piranhas are one of the most infamous Amazon inhabitants. They are known for being incredibly mean. They are capable of stripping and eating even large prey in a matter of seconds. We had two species in the studio; the Red Belly and the Silver Dollar piranha. Surprisingly, the silver dollar piranha is a vegetarian. We fed each species to see how quickly they could devour their food. The Royal Northern Ballet Theatre came to the studio to perform an extract from their ballet version of 'Peter Pan'. Simon and Konnie made some delicious cake on today's show and filled the studio with a wonderful fresh baking aroma!
