You got less than 2 hours television per weekday afternoon dedicated to children's programmes. Blue Peter was shown on a Monday and Thursday as the last show, (or sometimes second to last, as they would sometimes have a 5 minute animation afterwards), before, 'grown-up television', took over with the early evening news. Blue Peter occupied the slot around 5 o'clock, (I remember it being on at 5.10pm), and finished at around 5.35 or 5.40.

This was on TV for children getting home from school and every child in the country watched it. There was only 3 channels and TV was on 11am-11pm closing down each night with the national anthem. So, if we didn't switch off quick (no remote) we would have to stand for The Queen before bed.

Now on TV shows, there is a distinctly middle-class bias and many have been plucked from expensive stage schools and have undisclosed agendas.

A fundraiser for disabled kids (riding) and a black air stewardess shown training in the pool. Nope. No diversity whatsoever.

As an American, I never heard of this show until Ricky Gervais mentioned it on his old XFM radio show with Stephen Merchant and the brilliant Karl Pilkington. Those shows can be found on YT as well and are ridiculously funny.

Im Australian so we never got blue peter but Ive never stopped hearing about it through British culture, already knew peter purves cos he was in 60s dr who and have seen john noakes scale nelsons column, queens park rangers lighting gantry and shoot down a speedway tunnel but this is the first full length episode of blue peter ive watched. So now ive seen it thanks to the invention of internet.

I watched this all the time when I was kid growing up in London. In fact it was such interesting fun I was still watching it (when I could) into my twenties. John Noakes is a National Treasure.

@@hopebgood well once these programs become dated they become important time capsules to what the world was like back then. You can learn alot. The airline segment alone shows you what tech they had aboard the plane in 1976. I'm a writer and it's incidental details like that which could be important if I ever set a story on a plane in 1976. So they're invaluable reference tools.

Ah..Blue Peter........what wonderful memories and so much information we gained from it. My brother and I ended up with coveted badges and an autogaphed pic, including Val Singleton(?)....probably for making something useful out of a plastic bottle..even back then! But...I have to say....John Noakes was the one for me. Dare-devil of note........younger than Fred Dibnah..........and some years before the Harrison Ford movies. For us kids at that time, the use of animals, gave us pets that we didn't have.....just like "Softly Softly"..where the police dogs were always prominent........I named a junkyard dog that I passed on the way to primary school.......Radar! Not Shep! Thanks for posting this...greatly appreciated!!!! Red beans and lentils from Kaapstad.

What’s happened to children’s television programs? Now they are all loud, fast and dumb down the children’s intelligence. Blue Peter was a great magazine program for children and if I’m honest I often had my cup of tea with my children and watched it too!
