    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...

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?

    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.
