Re: Blue Peter
And yet:
"Over the years, an alarming number of former Blue Peter presenters have found themselves immersed in scandals more usually associated with rock stars and Tory MPs. The show's once squeaky-clean image has been tarnished with tales of drugtaking, infidelity, sexual scandal and bankruptcy. During the golden years of John Noakes, Peter Purves and Valerie Singleton the show became synonymous with childhood innocence, but embarrassing revelations about the private lives of presenters are now as memorable as the animals who regularly misbehaved on camera."

Re: Blue Peter
The elephant is more memorable than most else. Plus the jumpers and the many Sheps (imposters or not).

Re: Blue Peter
Can you still find Sticky-backed plastic? My Mum told me that when I was young, I had a lisp, and since I wanted to make everything they made on Blue Peter (was there anything that 'didn't' involve yoghurt cartons, cereal packets or SB plastic?) she always made me ask for it myself in the shop.
But of course, I had to ask an adult to use the scissors! Or "thissors" as I used to say.

Yes in fact "Fablon", the name that could not be mentioned, is still available along with many other SBPs.

Re: Blue Peter
Wasn't one of the presenters in 'Lizzie Dripping' before Blue Peter?
