Wow! Love this.
To think, I was only four years old at the time. It’d be around another two decades before mobiles would start to really take a hold, to the extent that pals would – I thought rather ostentatiously, at the time – plonk their funky little Nokia down on whatever surface was at hand.
And you have to love the inimitable Blue Peter style. And the funky ‘70s threads!? There’s enough material in Peter Purves’ ‘loons to make the sails for a 100 gun ship of the line!
And what about Lesley Judd? A former dancer – she actually guested with Pans People on a TOTP routine in ‘76, whilst working as a BP presenter – she’s the stuff young boys’ dreams are/were made of.
Whilst John Noakes sat in the warm dry BP studio, PP was in the garden, and the lovely Lesley was up on the roof, with the receiver unit, all togged up in fab’ ‘70s style, inc. a nice see-through brolly!
