I grew up with Blue Peter - somehow Magpie was just a second rate clone.

That, though, was in the days of Val Singleton (how I fancied her), Peter Purves and John "get down Shep" Noakes. It was never the same when the others came in - Lesley Judd, Simon Groom etc, and it just went from bad to worse after that.......... Mind you, thinking about it, the later presenters mirrored the decline in society.....

I used to watch Magpie as therapy in the 70s, on my return from therapy!
