I remember coming home to this. I was 18 and I'd been up town all day with my mates. Had my dinner and went back out again 😂

[@josephryan362]

Blue Peter from the 1960st to 2023 is classic blue Peter at its best

[@MartinFarrell1972]

Caron Keating was so beautiful. A shame she died so young.

[@fredgiles5768]

Happier times.

[@andrewgrant6516]

So lovely go see Karen again. I liked 1987.

[@davelane6176]

cannot believe that this is nearly 30 years ago

[@robalexander8065]

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the Advent Crown and the Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band "heard" coming up the hill to the huge doors of Studio 1.

[@robferguson8696]

It wasn’t Christmas until all four Advent candles were lit

[@LostHatProductions]

My first Xmas. I was nearly 4 months old.

[@JamesWHTaylor]

A classic BP Christmas show. A great team and Horray For Hollywood is one of the best BP Christmas entertainments ever. Thanks for posting :-)

[@80srenaissance67]

We sat idly by and watched evil people destroy our country

[@charlesmiddlebrook7885]

[@historex54tamiya]

Imagine how many disabled people could be helped if they sacked Lineker!

[@leahramshaw1726]

If anyone is a fan of Blue Peter then I am well you should come over my house because I’m having a Blue Peter special over the years come on any watch Coronation Street because me and my Nana do and anyone watch crackerjack because it made a comeback so only three more days to go until season one of crackerjack has ended so see you in the morning and it’s just lovely to have you here andGoodbye

[@WillScarlet1991]

I thought Yvette Fielding hosted BP in the early 90s? - Surprised to see her in 1987.

[@KEITHMU]

She joined in 1987. The last Blue Peter presenter to be employed by veteran Blue Peter Editor Biddy Baxter. She replaced Janet Ellis.

[@WillScarlet1991]

Ah, thanks.

[@qsfrankfurt9513]

She actually joined in 1986....

[@robalexander8065]

Yvette joined Blue Peter on 29th June 1987 and remained with the programme until 1992.

[@TheRowlandstone73]

I think I remember her very first show. I seem to recall her being incredibly nervous! She settled in well though - she was well into those musical numbers!

[@leahramshaw1726]

Christmas is miles away guys so just wait for the Blue Peter Christmas special this year so go on do it just do it yeah so I’m cool when you guys so yeah I’m just cool so I am on the children’s channel as you guessed so good luck to so many fans out there so if you want to be in the audience of my show this year well I could be given you a trip to universal Orlando so goodbye one more time Merry Christmas and happy New Year very late

[@robertzeurunkl8401]

26:35 - What happens here? Are they singing in Scotish or Welsh, or Irish? I can't make it out. Neat though

[@robertzeurunkl8401]

Wait. I think they are just singing Adeste Fidelis... That's Latin, I think.

[@leahramshaw1726]

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

Caron Fielding's accent went a bit screwy when she was born in London, had Irish parents and moved to NI when she was very young. Sounds vaguely Scottish at parts.

[@leahramshaw1726]
