Jeff Belton… who has still got a Blue Peter badge? He wrote a letter to Biddy Baxter the editor of Blue Peter and said his thoughts on how the show got its name. She replied with a badge in the post.
Peter Thomson… One of my daughters still has hers (she’s in her 30s now). When we lived in Germany she gained free access to zoos etc even over there when she wore it.
Daryl Perkins…My daughter has a green one from 1993.
Merv Kennard… I have a blue one from the early sixties
Lyn Humphrey… Forgot to ask for one when our dog was on the prog. Always regretted that!
Jan Warren… I was bought up with ITV, so I watched Magpie!! – I’m still with ITV and furious that I have to pay the BBC licence fee!! – its well out of date and should be SCRAPPED!!
Nigel Ford… I still have a couple of blue ones from the sixties, I wrote in about …”I don’t know what!” ….I may even have a third I found at a car boot sale in the 80’s? would part with one Lyn if I can find them….they’re in storage, but I think I know where.
