Peter Purves had a one night stand with Valerie Singleton whilst they were both on the show, but not in front of the camera's obviously... that's a fact, was in one of their autobiography's.

Oh and Caron Keating (RIP) was without a doubt the most gorgeous girlie presenter out of any of the other BP or Magpie girlies!

What, not Anthea Turner? :lolol:

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)?

Correct. He was the victim of a miniature land-octupus poisoning in Flash Gordon in the game of burrow-based russian roulette played by Timothy Dalton and his gang.

Oh, and i am sure i have mentioned it before, but a friend of mine was Bungled in the 90s. Awoke in the morning with the chap he'd met and shagged the night before, asked him what his job was and his honest reply was "I'm Bungle". My friend was abviously agog and i think back in the sack they leapt. He probably wished to get the number of the ambiwristrous fist that controlled Zippy too, but one Rainbow star is probably good enough for his records.

"and if that wasn't enough, they then trampled on the bedding plants as well"

That always cracks me up.

*sigh* That clip was used ad-nauseum by Dennis Norton on "It'll be alright on the night" where it was held up as a "classic" in every single edition. I have to say, I didn't think it was particularly funny the first time it was shown, and to this day find it about as funny as Citizen Kahn.

I'm a bit too young to even know that this happened - but having just watched that video, I can definitely say I would have laughed my head off. As I am doing so now. Horrible maybe. But Blimey. "Then they SMASHED up our sundial, and if that wasn't enough, they then CALLOUSLY threw it in the pond" (or something to that effect). What nutters!

I agree, perhaps you have to be of a certain vintage to find an elephant "unexpectedly" crapping near Valerie Singleton's feet funny?

If that happened now, there would be Twitter OUTRAGE.

Here's a topical clip for you. Blue Peter at Blackpool in 1983. Those of you going tomorrow will note that it looks more or less identical now, nearly thirty years on.

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 :ohmy:

Must have nearly given Biddy Baxter a heart attack.

Biddy ran the show with an iron rod. You didn't mess with her. Don't think I ever saw Jimmy Savile on BP.

Remember their annual appeals? Organising a bring & buy sale or collecting milk bottle tops, however worthy, was asking for a kicking in most schools. Only done by the sort of kids who sent their paintings in to Tony Hart in the hope of getting displayed on The Gallery.
