Magpie was like Blue Peter with much more mischievous presenters.

[@MrDavey2010]

These jokes were golden when I was a little girl! I remember we all did the sellotape on ballons!

Loving her red outfit and strawberry jacket

Jenny Henley WAS one of the "Angels of death" in On Her Majesty's Secret Service...classic

Jenny looking fit 😍 was a major crush of mine back in the day

[@josephlennon8475]

Light a candle, then shake a box of matches near it. 😂

[@TreffpunktZoo]

Hidden up the sleeve of your flammable nylon shirt, of course.

[@De98282]

Jen Henley also looked so good on the benny hill show

1976 , the year of the long hot summer and hot Jenny at Xmas, heaven 😍!.

[@angelacooper2661]

I would have been six at the time and infant school age in 1976! Didn't watch Magpie, though.

[@allisonmcandrew915]

Candle in tinsel 🤦‍♀️ but by god did we love it!!!

[@josephlennon8475]

Thankyou, Mick. The best. Jenny, lovely, hot and beautiful. And I was only six or seven! Greatest children show. Thank you, you good people. All at the tv station, you so enriched our children and their intellect. So, many thanks to you. Kind Regards.

I didn’t grow up with magpie but from watching bits of it for quite a few years now since I was about six or seven I learned about it and I’m 17 now And each time I see it I feel like it’s more down to earth and not as stuffy at all as blue Peter and I think blue Peter was always so much too straight about everything mostly and magpie actually had fun humour and mischief in it too and comedy in a way too. Very comedic.

[@fluorosco]

They were lovely weren't they❤

[@martytdd1606]

That 70s perm! What a do! Lol ✂️

[@Rdwrer]

Love the Christmas theme!

I'm not interested in Mark Bolan here , but I would like to get behind the girl in the red pants , if you can fix it for me please ?

[@Derry_Aire]

It's Jimmy Savile you want for that pal.

[@benjaminclasper9355]

Can I call the police?

[@Knufflebeest]

I hope that is fireproof tinsel

[@blex5579]

one of the most beautiful women..

[@RF_Burns]

I never knew Russel Brand was around in the 70's, and he hasn't aged one bit! Must be all them birds & drugs he does 👍

[@melgrant7404]

Mick was a Marc bolan lookalike.

[@allanbuttery5297]

it was Magpie or Blue Peter.Blue Peter used Metal cloths hangers.

[@kyriakospentheides]

Is this on the DVD release? This Christmas episode used to be on KZbin but it is sadly gone.

[@trevorrandom]

Playing with matches on Christmas day... what could possibly go wrong

[@kamandi1362]

No health and safety bedwetters in those days and yet we survived.

[@ianhand5006]

I bet I watched that!

[@KarmasAbutch]

How to burn your house down using tinsel ~ courtesy of the 1970s 😆

[@beausexon435]

A cancel near tinsel might not pass the safety test today!

[@countdown2xstacy]

That chick is pretty hot

[@anitanarain2619]

What's the guy's name?

[@michaelannetts4413]

Which one? Mick or Chris?

[@SINfromPL]

I think it was all super lame, but the lady presenter has a nice jacket

[@saborfrancias]

DONT TAKE THE V OF *RONA

[@nrh8130]

Ahhh the beautiful days before woke mental illness set in!

[@michaelmarron8441]

what are you talking about?

[@swaneknoctic9555]

This is going to stop people going to sleep isn't it on Christmas Day. Yeah people are going to be up for days tossing an empty matchbox with a coin sellotaped to the bottom. Christ I think I would've had more fun during the Dark Ages.
