  • Press Release
    Press Release 16 October 2018 Virgin Trains marks 60 years of Blue Peter with train naming • Virgin Trains names one of its flagship Pendolinos ‘Blue Peter’ • Former presenters travel onboard ‘Blue Peter’ en-route to birthday celebrations in Manchester • ‘Blue Peter’ will be seen the length and breadth of the west coast route Virgin Trains has named one of its flagship Pendolinos ‘Blue Peter’ to mark the 60th birthday of the world’s longest running children’s TV show. Former presenters including Peter Purves, Konnie Huq, Janet Ellis, Richard Bacon and Liz Barker all jumped onboard ‘Blue Peter’ today ahead of the special diamond anniversary programme due to be screened on the CBBC channel and again this weekend on BBC2. The train naming continues the show’s longstanding association with the railway. A steam engine also bears the name ‘Blue Peter’ and has been a regular feature on the programme over the years. “We’ve all grown up with Blue Peter,” enthused Gaynor Stewart, General Manager for Virgin Trains in the North West. “We wanted to mark the milestone, especially now the programme is filmed in Manchester. And great to see the smiles on people’s faces when they’ve spotted the nameplate. I am sure it has helped conjured up a lot of memories from the past 60 years.” Fans of the show, and train, will be able to look out for Pendolino ‘Blue Peter’ as it travels up and down the west coast route, clocking up around 350k miles each year on its visits to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edinburgh and stations in between.

Ariel Editor, Matt Eastley recalls a reptilian mystery and pays tribute to a programme that, for most of us, holds a special place in our hearts. loved my school days but Blue Peter sparked possibly the most useless educational exercise ever, prompted Iby the sex of a lazy and unenterprising tortoise. The tortoise in question was called Fred and was one of a long line of pets to have graced the programme down the years. Fred was a spectacularly dull reptile, who never did anything. My older sister used to tell me: ‘You’re more boring than Fred,’ if she wanted to annoy me, which she did, frequently. While other Blue Peter pets such as the dogs Patch, Petra, Shep, Goldie or Honey seemed to have a vestige of personality, Fred was a crashing bore. His party piece was falling asleep mid programme. He was desperately uninteresting. Yet this lethargic creature found itself at the centre of a mini scandal when an eagle-eyed viewer spotted – and to this day I don’t know how – that Fred was Blue Peter presenters with the real stars: Meg (collie), Mabel (mongrel), Lucy (retriever) and Smudge (kitten). actually… female.

    Ewan Vinnicombe Editor, Blue Peter Media Masters – January 3, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one-to-one interviews with people at the top of the media game. Today I’m joined by Ewan Vinnicombe, editor of Blue Peter, the world’s longest-running children’s TV programme. A lifelong fan of the show, and a proud recipient of one of its sought-after badges when he was six years old, he starting working as a runner on spin-off show Re- Peter in 1998. He has recently overseen the programme’s 60th birthday celebrations. An advocate for children’s literacy, he is also a judge on the Blue Peter Book Awards and his favourite book is Danny, the Champion of the World. Ewan, thank you for joining me. Thank you for asking me. So tell us, let’s start with the Blue Peter 60th anniversary in October. That must have felt like an incredible moment. It was amazing, and I say this to lots of people, but I wrote on the back of an envelope what I wanted the show to be like in my dream scenario, one night in my kitchen at home. A couple of years later, it all happened – but it was even better than the envelope! And all the plans that we had, and the team, were just brilliant, and just everything seemed to come together in a brilliant way. So we had past presenters, we had great films, we had HMS Queen Elizabeth, the aircraft carrier, spelling out Blue Peter, which was brilliant because we asked the MOD to do that and they agreed to it.

Looking back, the weather over the past year has not been kind. Following last year’s harvest, we then had the wettest of autumns, a lot of land was either flooded or water-logged and many planned winter crops could not be sown; the ones that were, were ‘muddied in’. Farmers, being optimistic, took the view that it would come right in the spring, winter crops could be safely sown until March. It didn’t come right until quite late on, then the change was drastic, drought and heat persisted. It certainly gave the farming community cause to worry and begin to doubt whether God’s covenant with Noah after the Flood, had come to an end! ‘As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.’ Genesis 8.22.

    1949 Architect Graham Dawbarn scribbled a question mark on the back of an envelope when asked to design the BBC’s first purpose-built television centre, foreseeing that it would make the perfect shape for an efficient ‘factory for television’. 1957 Covering 14 acres and twice the size of St Paul’s Cathedral, it was possible to see Television Centre under construction from Alexandra Palace, where the BBC began broadcasting television in 1936. 1958 The circular block was designed with 400 offices for 3,000 people, dressing rooms for 600 artists, 7 studios, wardrobe for 16,000 items, laundry, hair salon, make-up and wig-making departments, script and music libraries, band practice room, and a telephone exchange. 1959 Next to the 1908 London Olympic Stadium, construction nears completion ten years after its announcement by the BBC Controller Norman Collins at the Television Society annual dinner.
