40summat Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Magpie, well Jenny Hanley to be more precise, she starred in many a teen fantasy:nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkoak Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Blue Peter for me. Anyone notice that when they were short of a feature, they would get that bloke on spinning plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Susan Stranks was my fantasy. It was a sad day when she was replaced by Jenny Hanley. I also had the hots for Susan St James, Susan Dey and Suzi Quatro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReginaldD Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I say Blue Peter but I 19 so I never had Magpie? I must have been deprived, though Blue I used to be mad on it when I was in primary school, when Katie Hill and Konnie Huq just started presenting it. Must have been when I was about 11, a whole 8 years ago .....like a lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobbo Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Blue Peter. The Noakes/Purves/Singleton years. Class. Accept no cheap substitutes. Blue Peter. Simon, Sarah and Peter. Blue Peter, with noakesy, purvey and the luscious lesley judd! RIGHT choice everyone - but for the WRONG reasons! Blue Peter ..... because of that memorable incident with the elephant!

Plain Talker Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I say Blue Peter but I 19 so I never had Magpie? I must have been deprived, though Blue I used to be mad on it when I was in primary school, when Katie Hill and Konnie Huq just started presenting it. Must have been when I was about 11, a whole 8 years ago .....like a lifetime Blue Peter started in 1958:- the first edition was broadcast on 16th Oct 1958, presented by Christopher Trace, and Leila Williams. there's a Precis of the show's history here... http://www.solarnavigator.net/blue_peter_james.htm I preferred Magpie, TBH, it was "hipper" with Mick Robertson and Tony Bastable, presenting with Sue Stranks and Jenny Hanley. I watched BP, mind you. IN the days pre vidoe, never mind VHS, it was awkward on a thursday might when both shows were transmitteed at the same time (BP was Monday and Thursday teatime, Magpie was, IIRC Tuesdays and Thursdays) My fave presenters of BP were Val singleton, Peter Purves and "Noakesie". I did enjoy the historical stories that (usually Val, and later Lesley Judd presented within the show.) How many people remember the BP cartoon strip, "bleep and booster"?
