hang on that was nearly 30 years ago when Percy Thrower's Blue Peter garden got vandalised, and Johnny Noakes and Shep were wandering around aimlessly.

I was on Blue Peter. I got a Blue Peter badge. so ner ner ner. I played in Atarah ben Tovin's band cos she was a mate of me dad.

heh, well he is known as Perpetuator

j/k mate, welcome to TLR, and I hope you enjoy the ride

who can forget the elephant bit, a little before my time but i have seen it on enough other programs lol

I remember when one of the hosts died of lung cancer from second hand smoke... that was really sad, he was a cool guy... i was about 5 or 6 at the time so i dont remember an aweful lot, but that was a really cool show

shoorly you're thinking of Roy Castle, the entertainer? he wasn't a host of Blue Peter, although he did used to appear on it, from time to time.

yep Roy Castle died of second hand smoke because he was a jazz trumpeter (hmm or was it cornet?) as well as a children's entertainer ( "record breakers" ) which meant he was inhaling large lungfulls of smoke every night.

I got a blue peter badge too - but only a white one (participation) - can't remember exactly what it was for, some record attempt that my school made and was compulsory for us to join in with....you know the type, how many school kids can we get doing the conga for charity etc etc
