Film crew stuff... normally it would be the 1st Assistant Director who yells for quiet, a minion with the clapper board (e.g. camera assistant, studio runner) and the Director who shouts "Action" and "Cut" and decides if the take is good enough. I don't know enough about Blue Peter to know if their directors are just directors, or are really producer-directors, like they are in BBC documentaries (if they are they would be credited as "producer" in the end credits).
The job of 1st Assistant Director is to be the shouty person/cat herder who gets everyone in place, so that the director can just think about the scenes & shots.
