Blue Peter Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  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. However, adults and kids alike have enjoyed Blue Peter throughout the years. Blue Peter is as famous for its ...  Read the complete review

The BBC has been going for years and has had a few good programs on it, for the little one’s (Cbeebies) for the youth (CBBC) and a few documentaries for the how can I put this…More mature members of the audience. 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 ...  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, ...  Read the complete review

Goldie, Simon Groom and Musical Youth. These are the things of which dreams are made – nightmares, in fact. Today’s ‘Blue Peter’ has the safe, youthful boy/girl band appeal which television executives are increasingly loathe to stray from. In fact, it is no coincidence that the programme once followed the career of pop band STEPS so ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Ahh... Sticky back plastic, Percy thrower, The elephant that pooed in the studio. All items that have appeared on one of Children TV's most long running programme that is Blue Peter. There are just too many items to mention here but I hope to jog a few memories. 1) The elephant. It came on in the black and White days with ...  Read the complete review

Blue Peter used to be a huge hit in the 70's and 80's where the reports were outstanding and their presenters were so funny and true about what they reported. Nowadays,Simon Thomas,Matt Baker,Konnie Huq and Liz Barker make a quite good foursome but they are lacking since Katie Hill left as she was probably one of the best presenters ever to hit ...  Read the complete review

I have been a huge fan of Blue Peter, even as a child I love it and watched Peter Pervis, Valery Singelton and John Noakes every week, right up to the present day presenters. It is informative and fun. It is a great shame that Claire Bradley the Blue Peter gardener has decided to hang up her Blue Peter Wellies. She is leaving to start a huge ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people are saying that Blue Peter is really not as good as it used to be... perhaps this is true - but that surely is partly to do with the era when it began. Originally it was revolutionary, novel, and very down-to-earth.. it was what kids wanted to watch, and what their parents wanted them to watch. Nowadays, it's more cool, ...  Read the complete review

I used to watch Blue Peter when I was younger, but as I reached the age of about 10 it started to grow boring, and when I saw it again today I realised it still hasnt changed a bit. Do kids still watch this?? Tonight the ending of the show featured about 10 teenagers playing banjos and singing, it was terrible music but even it ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Since I was 5 I have had a dream to be a Blue Peter Presenter! I don't know what it is but I can even see myself there and being quite good at it. Blue Peter is a British institution now, the majoity of us have grown up with it since it started back in the 60's (I think) and it remains a fun but educational programme. Blue Peter ...  Read the complete review

I can't say I ever watched Blue Peter regularly, probably about once a week when I was younger, but I used to really enjoy it. It's educational especially where world affairs are concerned, and the annual Blue Peter appeal really helps children to see the impact that saving ring pulls, or tin foil has, and how much good such a small action ...  Read the complete review

I'm from the John Noakes and Valerie Singleton era but I often still watch Blue Peter with my children. This TV show is timeless and I imagine it will still be on the telly when I've got grandchildren. The show is "safe" in TV terms, very non-controversial, apart from a few incidents. When Janet Ellis was pregnant in ...  Read the complete review

I know that Blue Peter is one of the longest running kids programmes on tv but it remains as fresh as ever. If you watch it, it is obvious why this programme has lasted as long as it has. I can say that I have learnt more from BP than any other show on TV. It covers an amazing variety of topics, that are extremely interesting and fun to watch. ...  Read the complete review

This program is really poor. If you're like me, and want to watch something good on telly avoid this. Who wants to know how to make Doll's houses and crappy Christms cards out of rubbish? Whoever you give the stuff you make to would be insulted! I am probably too old for kids programs now, but this just gets boring. 3 times a week as ...  Read the complete review

What can you say? What seems like years go by without a break where Blue Peter is NOT on the telly every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Whereas the break seems too short, every time. This program is the sole reason I have stopped watching children’s TV, not the fact that Im too old for it, but the fact that an awful program such as ...  Read the complete review

Although I never did like Blue Peter (even when I was younger) at least before there were some good presenters, who were up for anything and always had a grin on their faces. Now the last of these (Katy Hill) has gone and we are left with irritating presenters like Konnie Huq and Matt Baker, who are barely likeable, patronizing and poor at ...  Read the complete review
