[Dusty]

Blue Peter has just recently celebrated 50 years

Having grown up with Blue Peter, I have my favourite presenters.

Best of all is John Noakes whom I absolutely adored. He and Shep could do no wrong. His greatest achievement was free falling 5 miles as the 1st civilian in Britain to do so

Other favourites are Valerie Singleton and Peter Purves.  

I was wondering if any of the OOFers liked Blue Peter, or were perhaps inclined like Mr Dusty to prefer Magpie, because it had Jenny Hanley (blond bimbo) in it. :-/

Who if any was your favourite presenter?

Ah Dusty you are still young enough not to remember the first male presenter who partnered Valerie; Christopher Trace  -  lovely man , who never apparently got over finishing with the show.

I believe that Leslie Judd off Blue Peter was once married to Derek Fowlds who plays Oscar Blaketon in Heatbeat. :-/

I missed a lot off Blue Peter as a kid ,lived in Germany as me dad was in the army out there so only really remembered it with john noakes(Down Shep!!!) and the rest of the crew , wasnt till 1974 that used to watch it regular , was a rush home from school to watch it   . we never had the bbc telly out in germany unlike now so we had to watch german telly or listen to BFBS , oh how things have changed, so many things to watch and most off it rubbish, wish we could turn back things to a simpler time

I always thought that Blue peter was a bit "girly"
Must admit though ....quite fancied valerie Singleton in the eighties when she fronted The money Programme.

[Bandit127]

I fancied her something rotten on Blue Peter.

That little bubble got well and truly popped the media and subsequent rumour

The memory of Leslie Judd is still fresh in my mind. When she was trampolining and one of here boobs popped out to to say hello shocked me as a teenager!
