Re: Blue Peter or Magpie??

Blue Peter was a bit 'square' to many people (I liked both)

I liked the Magpie 'appeals' where they measured how much money they'd raised by following the red line marker on the wall as it weaved around the studio, up stairs etc etc

(beats the thermometer-type totalizer!)

Re: Blue Peter or Magpie??

Both were good, but I think Blue Peter had the edge !!

I'm old enough to remember both Pogles Wood (good site on them here - http://www.geocities.com/heartland/park/9634/ ) and Tales of the River Bank. Used to LOVE that one when Johnny Morris narrated it, but later it was sold to the U.S. and an American chap took over - could never get my head round that !! ( Original clip here - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=B-CtMWsMGGo )

and Hectors House - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I_tVxvnEJko

Oh No I'm not old enough to remember Tales of The River Bank after all, not what I was thinking of!

Re: Blue Peter or Magpie??

LOL found this !!
POST-MAGPIE BUBBLE-PERMED Leo Sayeralike MICK ROBERTSON found himself fronting this Friday evening activity magazine, which professed to have "something for everyone" - from active kids (absailing, BMXing, adventure holidays etc.) to stay-at-homes (drawing in the margins of a telephone directory.) Suffered from same flaw as WHY DON'T YOU: presentation encouraged you to switch over, bored, rather than stick around and learn something interesting. Around this time Micky recorded a solo album of self-penned songs, notably "Then I Change Hands", a song about m*sturb****n
