BLUE PETER/MAGPIE
blue peter seemed a bit snobby val singleton i spose magpie seemed more down to earth to me,1 of the presenters mick robertson lived near me for a while in 74.
Re: HOW!
Jack Hargrieves was my favorite, saw him once down in Dorset...looked no diffrent from the TV, had his fishing hat on & tweed jacket...real country sports type. Liked Fred Dineage too....he had a sence of humour & I always thought he did it all just for a laugh.
Re: BLUE PETER/MAGPIE
But the thing is steve Magpie was almost a straight copy of Blue Peter. ITV saw how poular Blue Peter was & thought "We must have a show like that"
