Liz and a group of eight children visit The Mill in Fitzrovia, London. They meet Will Cohen, who plays them an extended trailer for Series 2, before announcing that they are going to be Doctor Who visual effects artists for the day.

Luca tries out rotoscoping on a frame from Rise of the Cybermen with help from 2D artist Michael Harrison; Samuel has to cut out Mickey Smith from the background on a frame, also from Rise of the Cybermen with help from compositor Bronwyn Edwards; and Daniel plays around with the CG werewolf model with werewolf creator JC Deguara. Meanwhile Liz has a go herself on a frame from The Christmas Invasion.

At the end of the day the kids play with two inflatable Daleks that are in the office and Will Cohen presents each of them with a certificate.

Task 5: Face Your Fear
The six remaining cadets must confront their own fears by approaching a table with their fears in bowls, each hidden under a cloth. They must then remove the cloth, pick up the their fear, describe it and state why they are scared of/don't like it.


 * Jamie - Mushrooms and Fried eggs; because mushrooms look like hairy armpits and eggs are gooey and disgusting.
 * Adam - Ice cream and Fish; because ice cream is way too cold and fish is way too slimy.
 * Chrissie - Courgette and McFly; because courgettes are the worst vegetables ever and have a disgusting texture, and McFly are just copycats of Busted.
 * Louise - Green beans; because they taste horrible and smell nasty.
 * Alex - Mashed potatoes, Peas and Carrots; because its slimy, gooey and icky.
 * Kyra - a Barbie doll; because its all pink and girly, and all she says is sexist.

Adam, Chrissie, Louise & Alex are told they are staying at the academy. Jamie & Kyra think they are being dismissed but then are told that they impressed the judges the most.

The judges feel that all of the cadets have proved their bravery, and decide not to dismiss anyone this week.
