Blue Peter

Blue Peter returns tomorrow, I hope the new series will be an improvement on the last.
I'm also quite surprised that no promos have been aired for it yet, especially as this will be there 50th year.

they've redone their website which lunches tomorrow

I wonder if a major reunion is on the cards for the 50th?

And will Mr R Bacon be invited?

Will other short tenure presenters and those who have been vocal be invited? ( Romana, Stuart M )

And will Mr Sundin be mentioned? I seem to remember they finally started to " remention " him in the 40th celebrations, and he was even enclosed in the montage of " Hellos " from the various years on the birthday Blue Peter.

The website is still on a holding page, even this morning when it really should have gone live.

I was amazed to read in the brand new Blue Peter Annual for 2008 that there is a few pages devoted to the history of the show, and Richard Bacon gets referred to as having been "sacked for taking drugs"! Far from the total ignorence of his tenure that has occurred since.

I think Richard's treatment was mean considering he did it years ago and a so called friend grassed him up to make money

we all do daft things when we're young, I some how doubt when he did it he was considering a career as a blue peter presenter

I think he should be invited to show children that we should forgive and forget, he did wrong, and lost his job over it, it's ten years ago now

Just seen this on the CBBC website.

My understanding was that the incident took place whilst he was presenting BP - not years before he presented the show?

you're right, my mistake

Graphics - fantastic.

Set... we'll not go over that again.
