Be honest...

Back in the day, when you saw that the Blue Peter garden had been all smashed up, did you join in with Simon Groom, Peter Duncan and Janet Ellis in forlorn dismay, or did you have a jolly good old chuckle because the garden bit was always the shittest bit of the programme anyway?

Simon Groom would be a great name for a paedo.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I occasionally watched it, but there was always a certain disdain for the kids who appeared on it, or sent in pictures of their "makes".

It was generally quite boring, and if I'd remembered the garden getting smashed, I would have laughed heartily.

Apart from for poor old Percy Thrower.

BBC Blue Peter garden vandalised with Janet Ellis 80s - YouTube

Where did this come from? Is it the 30th anniversary or something.... like the 50 year Cuban Missle Crisis?

Just thinking about it has made me

They MUST be mentally ill, Percy.

Blue Peter always did have a SORDID undercurrent though. I seem to recall it being discovered that Peter Duncan had once made an appearance in some kind of soft porn movie, there was the guy in the mid 1980s who they found out (won't somebody think of the children!) was gay and later died of an AIDS related illness, Richard Bacon had his little cocaine episode, and I'm sure the aforementioned Janet Ellis was shunted out because- the horror!- she got pregnant while UNMARRIED

Must have nearly given Biddy Baxter a heart attack.

[half time scores]

There was a rumour going around in the eighties that there was some gusset typing goings on.

Anyone else hear this?

That's f***ing brilliant, how many guys in grey suits did they need to clear that lot up! I think I actually remember all that at the time. I may have cried.....

Vandalism is always funny, isn't it?

 

[Oscar]

This would appear to be the perfect time to recall that myth that a certain Albion legend and former scallywag had something to do with this.

My family was banned from watching Blue Peter thanks to it being so bloody boring.
I remember espying the outline of the shadow of Peter Duncan's wild dangler when he was doing Duncan Dares and on a kayaking challenge somewhere.

It's not the vandalism that's funny, it's the grave response (and the "mentally ill" comment) of the presenters.

He did a survival episode with a chap called Lofty whose voice seemed to amuse me for some reason.
And he was in Flash Gordon as well wasn't he (PD not Lofty)?

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Percy Throwers comment just makes that clip.

I'll also bet this is another case of BBC LIES. If any of those Goldfish survived being dosed in fuel for hours on end they need to go into the Guiness book of records. Those fish in the bowl are without doubt ringers. Forget the saville investigation, this one needs to be dealt with. NOW.

I thought it was former QPR, Newcsatle and england centre forward....... Les Ferdinand
