Blue Peter Theatre

[louisedennis]

DWM Issue 334 was entirely devoted to the relationship between Doctor Who and the equally long-lived and hugely popular children's magazine show Blue Peter. A number of the accompanying illustrations were of the Blue Peter Doctor Who Theatre which awakened in me a vague sense of memory. It appeared on the show in 1977 when I was 6 years old so

I think the relevant clips can be seen on the Talons DVD.

I'm not sure whether or not I have the Talons DVD. I wonder if it would be fun to rewatch or whether it would be a memory cheats situation.

Also, you wouldn't get children's TV presenters talking about titivation and proscenium arches today. Kids today, etc.

I wouldn't really know to be honest. G. was never much interested in Children's TV once she grew out of CBeebies, preferring YouTube, so I never discovered what Blue Peter is like nowadays.

I'd have done without the RT and drawn my own figures: they would be better!

And would have given you more scope for other characters as well.
