Expedition Japan: Who was the 'tall, fair-haired and very red-faced European' pulling the float at Kyoto's famous Gion Festival? None other than Simon, sweltering in 90°F, and that's how he was described by five "Blue Peter" viewers who just happened to be in the crowds lining the streets! But that was nothing compared with wading shoulder high into a sea of 50,000 eels, playing the part of a Samurai warrior at the Kyoto Movie Studios and coming face-to-face with the massive 30-stone Sumo wrestlers who make Big Daddy look a mere midget.
And talking of giants, see how Prince has grown during the summer break and catch up with the latest news about all the other four-legged members of the team - Goldie, Jack and Jill and Maggie and Jim.
