Blue Peter fact.....

Peter Duncan is UK cheif boy scout!

Magpie for me. Sue Stranks with no bra on and Jenny Handley looking like a goddess, it was more than a teenager could take!!!

Comparisons..

Is there any doubt?

ITV had more raunchy presenters!

It's a bit like comparing:

with

'nuff said!



PS I can claimed to have served both on Sally James' Forehead... AND twice on her left leg!

...can't help thinking she would be better covered in custard... rather than having been covered by Keith Chegwin

I grew up with Val, John & Pete (& subsequently Go With Noakes) but I never really liked Peter Purves - apparently he was put there to be a straight man to John Noakes. I also liked Lesley Judd, Simon Groom and Janet Ellis, but grew out of it by the time that Mark Curry came along.

My main problem with it nowadays is that it used to be that you had to do something special to win a Blue Peter Badge, like save someone from a burning building or be a carer for your disabled Mother, but now you can win one for just sending a painting in and it sort of trivialises it for me now.

Blue Peter always seemed like it was for the geeky kids, who would perhaps enjoy watching it when they got home from chess club.

The first rule of Chess Club is, you do not talk about Chess Club.

The second rule of Chess Club is, you DO NOT talk about Chess Club.

No. You got a gold badge for that heroic sort of thing. They always had the policy of sending badges for letters, and they had a database so that once you had a blue one, next time you got a silver one (I have both!). I don't think they went on up to gold ones after that - they are special...

My main gripe now is that in common with a lot of TV, they assume internet access - where a recipe used to be flashed up on screen in detail, now you look it up on the net, and some competions are entered via the 'net. To me, that goes against the inclusive attitude that led to them having pets 'for' the kids in tower blocks who couldn't have a dog...

I was vaguely interested when Matt Baker was on, he was dishy, and could ride a horse...

Cunobelin...are you talking tennis here, or were you a dodgy waiter, or did you and Sally do a porno movie together?

 

[ChrisKH]

Blue Peter for content definitely. Janet Ellis (Phooar) was about as I was hitting my teens although strangely I don't fancy her daughter much.

I used to scour Magpie for the female presenters but that's it.

I prefered 'Play School'!
It satisfied my 'intellectual' curiosity!

Brian Cant good.
Dave Benson Phillips not so.

Culdrose (Seahawk) on her forehead........etc
