[TV] Magpie or Blue Peter

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

I must admit I did have a crush on Jenny Hanley but it’s Blue Peter all the way. Get down Shep!

"Shep, get off Petra"! Yeah, I can't explain why, but Blue Peter always seemed more 'authentic'; more Premier League compared to Championship Magpie.

Similarly, I've always preferred watching football matches on BBC than ITV; just prefer BBC's commentary somehow.

Magpie, Tommy Boyle was cool back then and BP was for Tories and boy scouts!

Blue Peter was my favourite with Valerie Singleton, John Noakes and Peter Purves.
Sometimes watched Magpie. Remember Susan Stranks. Even to this day I count Magpies when I see them because you don't want bad luck

[Greg Bobkin]

Wasn't fussed by either of them. Grange Hill was where it's at

 

[The Brighton Bear]

Always Blue Peter. Magpie seemed more of an amateur setup.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Magpie was a very late comer, on the commercial channel, and a bit too populist. I liked Blue Peter because they made things out of amazing washing up liquid bottles that had no identifying markings/pictures. That was spooky.

I was a Christopher Trace man. Looking at his biography he was surely an inspiration for the Alan Partridge biog.

If you see a single magpie, you should salute and say "Good morning Mr Magpie", that will ward off bad luck (apparently)!

My first crush...

The piece she did with Barry Sheene was so suggestive, especially when she mounted his bike, I reckon they were at it like knives back the hotel.

Blue Peter on steroids!

I was always a Blue Peter fan, l even fancied Valerie Singleton. Yes l'm that old.

Does anyone else remember Christopher Trace who presented the prog in the very early days?

Unless you see the magpie in the afternoon of course.

Blue Peter. John Noakes scaling Nelsons Column without safety equipment, Sarah Greene in a swimming costume, the Elephant, "What a beautiful pair of knockers", "If you've got a good length you can manage a good lay". etc
Magpie - ITV. Enough said.

One for sorrow, two for joy

I remember Christopher Trace. Magpie never got a look in. Commercial TV couldn't get much more than a snowy screen to my home in the sixties and rarely got a look in anyway. I was more in to Scouts and the Tories!
