Blue Peter

I don't watch 'Blue Peter' anymore so find it very strange to see new faces on the programme. However, it is probably also a bad thing that the only reason I don't watch it is because I don't really have a TV anymore at uni - I generally just depend on Iplayer and it was not until recently that I discovered that you could actually find it on Iplayer. Am I a big kid or what? 'Blue Peter' is one of those wonderful programmes whereby each generation gets attached it to it in relation to the era they grew up in. If you get nostalgic about children's TV you often think about the presenters you grew up watching. I always remember the chirpy Konnie Huq who was there ...  Read the complete review

Blue Peter is a show that pretty much every child in Britain will have watched at some point in their lifetime, its appeal is huge. The format is excellent, entertaining yet educational at the same time, the primary reason why the show has been on our screens since 1958! Most of the show is filmed live on location at the BBC studios in West London, although there is always some pre-recorded film about trips presenters have been on and certain activities they have done. The shows content varies widely from week to week, but is always interesting and intellectually stimulating, for example one week they'll be playing Gaelic football in Ireland and the next ...  Read the complete review

Blue Peter is officially the longest running TV show in any country (apparently). It is a programme that has now run for over 50 years, and is a factual and educational programme with children as its intended target audience.

The show itself has many features to it, ...  Read the complete review

But I am writing a review that is put on the youth viewers and this program is called Blue Peter, everyone who’s anyone has heard of Blue Peter it has been on TV all the time that I was living and from what I have heard from ‘them’ (my parents) it has been on for a long time. -*-*- What is Blue Peter -*-*- Blue Peter is a program that is run for the youth age but I’m sure a lot of other people watch it as well, it is not a program that is ...  Read the complete review

"Ruff!!" "Get down Shep." Those two phrases can mean absolutely just one thing - the mean spirited and cynical eye of dave27 turns upon the fertile ground of Kiddies TV and the most famous children's show of all time - even got a theme tune written by that hippie boy/old f**t Mike Oldfield, 'Portsmouth' - the one, the only, Blue Peter. These days, Blue Peter seems to shed and discard its child like and very juvenile posse with the same readiness as Manchester City dispose of managers, but there was a time back in the 1960's, when there were three enormous giants filling our screen, like huge, unchanging ...  Read the complete review
