Advantages: educational and entertaining

Disadvantages: none really

This is a very interesting and informative programme, Unfortunately as a child I found it boring. The only time I would watch it was if they were either cooking or making something with 'sticky back plastic'. It took me years to realise what that was, why couldn't they just say sellotape? I know you can't advertise on tv but did you know anyone else who made the stuff then? To me and my friends it was Sellotape.

As an adult I watch Neighbours and if I find myself sitting down to tea early I will switch on Blue Peter to see what they are up to. They have some very interesting items on and do some really daring things, you wouldn't get me up any heights, urrr. my husband used to watch Blue Peter as a child, now he is more technically minded than me and was interested in parachute jumps and the such like. He actually has a Blue Peter badge!! (show off).

I therefore come to the conclusion that it is a good programme and has something of interest for everyone, young and old alike. Funny though how they seem to get through more presenters nowadays than years ago. May that be because they have to do more daring things or are todays presenters just fickle?

I couldn't finish without mentioning the pets. There has been a long line of these including Bonnie, George, Goldee and most famous of all Shep. Who can forget those immortal words that John Noakes would cry - 'get down Shep'!
