Advantages: children love it

Disadvantages: It is repetative

For most british children and adults under a certain age Blue Peter is an institution which has always been there. I used to watch this program and now my children avidly watch it whenever it is on.

How can one program last for so long?

The answer is that it has evolved over the years. It is still a magazine program which covers the interesting activities which the presenters partake in. Things to make with 'heres one I made earlier' still a favoured catch phrase. The children who watch it still feel that it is their programme. There are plenty of competitions for them to enter with some excellent prizes. There is always a possibility that if you have a talent you too could appear on the programme.

The presenters are the viewers adult friends, and role models which means they have to be suitable for the parents to be happy.

Blue Peter has now got a web site with its own competitions and cances to gain the coverted Blue Peter badge. All the articles in the program are covered and you even get a chance to find out things about the presenters.

I do not like the present presenters they are not as good as the ones I remember from my youth, a common complaint from all ages. My children love the present presenters though some more than others.
