Chronology Reformatted Source for Website Career details to March 2014 Peter prepares to present an award to Ant and Dec at the NTV Award Ceremony at the Al bert Hall, ably assisted by Valerie Singleton and John Noakes Peter Purves Freelance TV Presenter Writer, Producer, Director and Presentation Consultant www.peterpurves.net [email protected] Career to Early 2009 Peter is one of Britain’s most experienced TV presenters of “live” magazine programmes, with literally hundreds of credits to his name. He is probably best known for his work on the BBC TV children’s programme, Blue Peter , which he presented for ten and a half years from 1967 to 1978. As part of what is affectionately known as the “Dream Team” (together with Valerie Singleton and John Noakes) he appeared in more than 850 episodes of what has become the longest continuously running children’s TV programme of all-time. His career began in the theatre, in what was known as weekly rep., with the Renaissance Theatre Company, at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Barrow-in-Furness. It was a time he remembers with great affection, as the best training, the worst paid, the hardest work and the happiest two working years he has ever known. From the early 1960’s he appeared in many of the then current and popular television series for both the BBC and ITV, and in 1965 he joined the original Doctor Who , William Hartnell for a year as his sidekick in the still popular series. He occasionally attends the conventions held around the world for the show’s aficionados. Though he does limit these to one convention every three or four years!! He left the show in the summer of 1966. 2003 is the 40 th Doctor Who anniversary and Peter will be attending the main convention in November and appearing on several BBC programmes including the BBC 1 Doctor Who Documentary Special which was screened over the Christmas period 2006. He auditioned for Blue Peter programme in the autumn of 1967 and first presented the show on November 11th of that year. After ten and a half years he felt it was time to move on and he left the show at Easter 1978 to go to present three other series for the BBC, Stopwatch ( a children’s sports programme), We’re Going Places (a forerunner of Holiday) and a series of Blue Peter Special Assignments. Many other guest appearances followed in various shows, and he has remained in great demand ever since. One of his favourite engagements over a decade in the ‘80’s was the wonderful Motor Cycle Trials show, Kickstart and Junior Kickstart . He has regularly presented the BBC coverage of the world’s greatest dog show, Cruft’s since 1976 and in 1999 - 2007 the coverage also went to the USA for Animal Planet. Interestingly, the American producers are also the producers of Breed All About It, which Peter voiced for the European Discovery Channel market. A chronological CV follows, with details of every programme in which Peter has appeared (though there will be some omissions, which the memory has forgotten). Amongst his recent projects was Teen Trials a series for Granada Television, attempting to recapture the magic of Kickstart . He was also the host of Pet’s Go Public series for Channel 5’s Good Afternoon. In the autumn of 2005 he was navigator for his old Blue Peter colleague, John Noakes in Channel 5’s Britain’s Worst Celebrity Driver which took the pair on a tour of Britain ending at Lands End, after starting in one of the few places Peter had never been to before, John O’Groats. He regularly commentates at major national events such as the Royal Show, Discover Dogs, All About Dogs, the fast-growing Wag and Bone Show, the Cold Wet Nose Show, presented for the young TV channel Horse and Country TV , both at the CLA Game Fair, and from Discover Dogs. He looks forward to a continuing involvement with the company at various Dog events in the future. 2006/7 saw Peter presenting almost 100 programmes of an entertaining chat show for the Overseas Property Channel, called Destination Lunch , and more than 20 shows called Retire Abroad , for the same channel. He also traded commentary for judging, when he sat on the panel of judges in the dog-training reality show, The Underdog Show for BBC2 and a junior version for CBBC. Peter was Managing Director of a video production company, Purves Wickes , which produced a hundred or more corporate videos for clients as varied as BT and Boots, and several TV commercials. Peter occasionally presented these programmes, but more often worked as director, writer or producer. He left the company in 1997. Sadly his long time business partner and friend, Alan Wickes died in 2007. He also has spent several years in the 1990’s as specialist trainer of presenters, for the BBC, at its training centre at Elstree studios, as well as a continuing position as a tutor at The London Academy of Radio, Film & Television . This has www.peterpurves.net [email protected] involved elaborate and definitive training in the use of studio talkback, interview techniques, single camera and multi-camera presentation, and general reporting skills. Peter regularly wrote a monthly column, Purves Unleashed, for Our Dogs newspaper, which was also syndicated, and has written feature articles for several National and local newspapers, and has, on many occasions, been the subject of such articles. He is the author (in collaboration with the late celebrated photographer, Fay Godwin) of Tess – The Story of a Guide Dog. The book was written in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Guide Dog for the Blind Association, and made the Best Sellers list in 1981. Peter has directed many of Britain’s top variety and TV stars in pantomime, including The Chuckle Brothers, Hale and Pace, Ross Kemp, Bobby Davro, Linda Robson, Dennis Waterman, Rolf Harris, John Inman, Wendi Peters, The Grumbleweeds, Vicki Michelle, Anita Harris, Cheryl Baker, Cannon and Ball, Colin Baker, John Noakes, Lance Percival, Basil Brush, Harry Worth, Sylvester McCoy, Lesley Joseph, Tom O’Connor, Robin Askwith, Rula Lenska, Ben Warris, Matthew Kelly, Sarah Kennedy, Paul Daniels, Norman Bowler, Jean Ferguson and many others. Due to his successful involvement with Cruft’s dog show, and Superdogs for the BBC, he regularly hosts awards events for a number of the major dog-food manufactures. And he spent 12 months to July 1998 as the editor of Peter Purves’ Mad About Dogs Magazine monthly.

  • Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles' Films
    “All I’ve got to do is Act Naturally”: Issues of Image and Performance in the Beatles’ Films Submitted by Stephanie Anne Piotrowski, AHEA, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English (Film Studies), 01 October 2008. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which in not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (signed)…………Stephanie Piotrowski ……………… Piotrowski 2 Abstract In this thesis, I examine the Beatles’ five feature films in order to argue how undermining generic convention and manipulating performance codes allowed the band to control their relationship with their audience and to gain autonomy over their output. Drawing from P. David Marshall’s work on defining performance codes from the music, film, and television industries, I examine film form and style to illustrate how the Beatles’ filmmakers used these codes in different combinations from previous pop and classical musicals in order to illicit certain responses from the audience. In doing so, the role of the audience from passive viewer to active participant changed the way musicians used film to communicate with their fans. I also consider how the Beatles’ image changed throughout their career as reflected in their films as a way of charting the band’s journey from pop stars to musicians, while also considering the social and cultural factors represented in the band’s image.

  • Ÿþm I C R O S O F T W O R
    Save Kids’ TV Campaign British children’s television - on the BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Five - has been widely acknowledged as amongst the most creative and innovative in the world. But changes in children’s viewing patterns, and the ban on certain types of advertising to children, are putting huge strains on commercial broadcasters. Channel 4 no longer makes children’s programmes and ITV (until recently the UK’s second largest kids’ TV commissioner) has ceased all new children’s production. They are deserting the children’s audience because it doesn’t provide enough revenue. Channel FIVE have cut back their children’s programming too. The international channels - Disney, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network - produce some programming here, but not enough to fill the gap, and much of that has to be international in its focus so that it can be used on their channels in other territories. The recent Ofcom report on the health of children’s broadcasting in the UK has revealed that despite the appearance of enormous choice in children’s viewing, the many channels available offer only a tiny number of programmes produced in the UK with British kids’ interests at their core. The figures are shocking – only 1% of what’s available to our kids is new programming made in the UK. To help us save the variety and quality of children’s television in the UK sign the e-petition on the 10 Downing Street website or on http://www.SaveKidsTV.org.uk ends Save Kids' TV - Name These Characters and Personalities 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Help save the quality in UK children's television Go to www.savekidstv.org.uk Save Kids TV - Answers 1 Parsley The Lion The Herbs/The Adventures of Parsley 2 Custard Roobarb and Custard 3 Timothy Claypole Rentaghost 4 Chorlton Chorlton and the Wheelies 5 Aunt Sally Worzel Gummidge 6 Errol The Hamster Roland's Rat Race, Roland Rat on TV-AM etc 7 Roland Browning Grange Hill 8 Floella Benjamin TV Presenter 9 Wizbit Wizbit 10 Zelda Terrahawks 11 Johnny Ball Presenter 12 Nobby The Sheep Ghost Train, It's Wicked, Gimme 5 etc.

  • Film, Television and Video Productions Featuring Brass Bands
    Film, Television and Video productions featuring brass bands Gavin Holman, October 2019 Over the years the brass bands in the UK, and elsewhere, have appeared numerous times on screen, whether in feature films or on television programmes. In most cases they are small appearances fulfilling the role of a “local” band in the background or supporting a musical event in the plot of the drama. At other times band have a more central role in the production, featuring in a documentary or being a major part of the activity (e.g. Brassed Off, or the few situation comedies with bands as their main topic). Bands have been used to provide music in various long-running television programmes, an example is the 40 or more appearances of Chalk Farm Salvation Army Band on the Christmas Blue Peter shows on BBC1. Bands have taken part in game shows, provided the backdrop for and focus of various commercial advertisements, played bands of the past in historical dramas, and more. This listing of 450 entries is a second attempt to document these appearances on the large and small screen – an original list had been part of the original Brass Band Bibliography in the IBEW, but was dropped in the early 2000s. Some overseas bands are included. Where the details of the broadcast can be determined (or remembered) these have been listed, but in some cases all that is known is that a particular band appeared on a certain show at some point in time - a little vague to say the least, but I hope that we can add detail in future as more information comes to light.
