My one and only hazy memory of Magpie is it being presented by a bloke who looked like Kevin Keegan. Infact I think I thought it was Kevin Keegan, so I suppose that makes me a Blue Peterer.

Oooh I luurved magpie best...the best looking guys were on there..who would have swapped Mick robertson for John noakes...ewwww lol.

yes, sadly I'm old enough to have watched Tales from the riverbank...loved it. Johnny morris had the same type of sophorific..that modern day presenters like Alan titchmarsh, and Nigel Farrel have (island/village parish)...

*trinity, I was also a girl guide....but we always collected for Magpie
