- From the 27/6/83 edition - a preview of the latest Blue Peter Book (the 20th), and then a surprise farewell sprung on Sarah Greene, who was leaving the programme. A range of guests she had worked with on the programme come on to wish her well.
Oh bless her, what a lovely lady ❤
Packed tight with class and sincerity.
Always fancied Sarah Greene, she came to our school back in the mid eighties and she must have signed autographs for nearly all of us...
Sarah Greene was undoubtedly the most beautiful ever presenter on Blue Peter
Sarah still looks good these days
Janet Ellis was rather dishy too.
Improved with age, which is rare.

Better looking imo.
@@flybobbie1449she was even better looking on Saturday Superstore, which came after this.
That’s my childhood. Right there.
I am grinning from ear to ear watching this.
Thank you.
I feel very fortunate to have been a child during this period, and Blue Peter really was one of the best programs of my childhood. Fantastic.
She was a stunner, something I never noticed as a kid.....
Watch this clip and many others from this period and earlier. The level of intelligent conversation and the way the presenters are so good and eloquent when they speak to the young audience. I was lucky to be young in the seventies and eighties. We have sadly gone backwards in a lot of ways. Just watch the presenters of CBBC and listen to how they speak and the subject matter. No wonder our kids are so Ill informed and dim witted nowadays...
You are absolutely right. and that it's being done on purpose
I was a boy in the 70s and 80s so you are absolutely right. I so miss those times. And I have to say that the cub scout uniform they wore then is a lot smarter than what they were today.
All done by design
Sarah Greene was one foxy lady.
I loved Sarah. On Blue Peter and Going Live. I loved Blue Peter, Crackerjack, Grange Hill, Ivor the Engine, Paddington, Newsround, Bagpuss, Willow the Wisp.
Golden days
I used to run home from school to watch Danger mouse 😂
Trumpton, Mr Ben, Hector's House. And walking home from school in winter in my duffle coat, balaclava and grey shorts. Brrr
Great Blue Peter days. Wasn't just a kids show. All the family could watch it back then
I was also in the Cubs around this time and I resonate with the cup of tea banter. I remember having to go around houses making tea for neighbours. However. Now I think i'd be offering a coffee to Sarah and Janet.
a bit of water under the bridge since then
but gawd Sarah looks sooooooooo gooooooooood !
RIP Chris Wenner by the way......
sad day for BP fans
Beautiful in so many ways.
Simon doing his best Eammon Andrews impersonation lol
What beautiful woman!
I'd forgotten how fit Sarah was :)
I had that book. From the school book club. My children are on iPads now. I miss the Eighties
School book club... was it called Chip Club?
Fatty Gay yes indeed sir!!! Used to get so excited about the soft backed pictorial of Return of the Jedi and other movie adaptations
Abbas Zaidi me too! Was always excited when my teacher gave out Chip Club at the end of the day!
I was terrified for George throughout most of this 😦
Goldie and the snake! 🤯
“All those times when I tried not to let you down, and now Janet’s got to do it!”
OMG seems like a 100 years ago
She went on to Superstore after this, right?
Yes. That's the reason she left BP as Chris Bellinger though she was perfect for SuperStore, and she was.
Yes she's gorgeous....that goes without saying....but isn't she a lovely person too. Can't say that about every TV personality. I always remember how she stuck up for the blue peter stamp design that was criticised by some pretentious idiot for being too childish in execution! Was it Brian Sewell having a hissy fit one wonders?
I always got the strongest impression that with Sarah Greene, what you see is what you get. Sheer Class!
@@thefurrybastard1964 I had the privilege to meet her way back when I was 9, when she did a public appearance and she was delightful, I had a crush on her and she gave me a big hug. Made time to sign autographs for everyone.
@@pipoo1 To be honest, I have yet to hear anyone saying anything bad about her.
Stunnah ❤
Benny off crossroads bringing the horse on
Her sister Laura went onto become a ITV weather presenter ISTR. What happened after that IDK,
Ok. I'm welling up
If you can't believe it's already your last show, there was no need to only serve 3 years, was there? Shorter than any pre-1978 presenter, and keeping up the new trend since then for only lasting for short times.
In her defence she was approached by Chris Bellinger to join his team on Saturday Superstore. It was a show she was born for and she spent the next 10 years on Saturday mornings cementing her place in the hearts of an entire generation.
The cat bit him
Posh bird, eh.
Yes sadly these characters are missing from todays children's TV. Instead replaced with incoherent, bland and dull types!
She's not a cool person, she is preventing any old TOTP episodes from being broadcast that feature her late husband Mike Smith, ....those TOTP episodes belong to the public and deserved to be aired, Mike Smith and now Sarah Greene are refusing to sign the licence extension to allow those episodes to be broadcast, they are part of our popular culture, drop your ego Sarah...
So you want her to go against the express wishes of her deceased husband? I'm pretty sure she'd love to see those episodes too, and remember Mike in his prime, but he made his feelings clear.
@@pipoo1 those totp episodes don't belong to Mike Smith, they belong to the public that paid their licence fees and the artists who appeared on the show, not some two bit radio presenter, Mike Smith shouldn't dictate that those shows are never aired, even less so since he's died...Sarah Greene should do the honourable thing...
They were made to be seen once and not reoeatedly.
@@sensiblename295 no they were made by the BBC which is a public owned broadcaster, and the musical artists own the songs, it's not up to Mike Smith's estate to prevent the public watching old episodes, the public license payer paid mike smiths wages....they weren't intended to never be repeated....Mike smiths selfish attitude has prevented the public watching the artists perform...
Sarah Greene was and still is a babe! She has a *lot* of class, and is a hard act to follow.
