Ah... Peter Glaze - what a bloke! He always looked so 'lost' and then Lesley Crowther took great delight in 'torturing' him.
What about the real name of Mr Pastry??? confused

All of which pale to insignificance when you have a cuddly toy from Brucey. biggrin

Now here's a weird thing - I have watched Blue Peter on and off for years, and there have been squillions of people on it, but I have NEVER in my life actually seen anyone wearing a Blue Peter badge.
Does anyone here have one?

Indeed, that was Richard Hearne: I clearly remember the adventures in 'Little Wotting'. Seemed so funny then: so dated now. Sad.
What about 'Old Mother Riley?

I don't actually remember the original presenters ..
Stu Francis presented it when I watched it .....
those immortal phrases ...
I could crush a grape
I could jump off a dollshouse
I could rip a tissue
can't think of any more
ah yes along with The Krankies and the Great Stupendo

I had a Blue Peter badge and my mum put a jumper through the wash not realising it was still pinned on and the blue ship got washed off leaving me with a plain white shield!

You beat me to it, Agricola. Who was the woman with Mr Pastry? Was it Miss Prism?
Then there was also "Whirligig" with Humphrey Lestocq, with Peter Hawkins ("Hawkyboy"), Colonel Crock, the King Brothers, Mick and Montmorency (where have I seen that name more recently? - and one of them was Charlie Drake, very early in his career) and others evenIcan't remember.....

It's too far back for me Mike...I remember 'Miss Print', seemed an hilarious joke to me at the time!, perhaps that's whom you are thinking of?
I remember so many programmes from that period:
'Land of the Giants'; 'mystery and Imagination' (saturday, after 'match of The Day'); 'Whiplash'; 'Corrie' with Ena and Minnie; 'Gideon's Isle; 'F-Troop'; 'Green Acres'; 'Beverly Hillbillies' 'Flight of the Heron';...too many to mention without sounding a sad anorak ........, slightly later, my VERY favourite of all time......
starred 'Robert Hoffman' and 'Fabian Canalos': music still haunts me to this day. Can any one remember what it was? Can't remember when it was shown....should have been on Friday perhaps?

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Land of the Giants.....I remember that!!!!!!!!! :shock:
I've seen the re-runs of that, and they look so ancient now.........I can't believe I used to get home just in time from school to watch it, with a roaring fire going............the memory being of dark winters, and dinner almost ready.......aaaahhh memories..mmmmmmm... smile

:)

22 Jul 2004

Hi Agricola,
Yes of course it was Miss Print, and played by Barbara Hicks, who has played so many good roles over the years, especially good as the woamn who ran the funeral parlour in "Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit". "Miss Prism" was a character in "The Importance Of Being Earnest" - fancy getting my Wilde mixed up with my Pastry.
Last paragraph: Robinson Crusoe I think.

I used to watch the classic re runs of that on Channel 4 sunday morning ...
Land of the Giants, Lost in Space, The Beverley Hillbillies, The Waltons, Little House in the Prairie, THe Avengers (my second favourite) and The Prisoner (my ultimate favourite)
I am not a number ..................
