Can't imagine an animated series based on a cartoon in the Daily Mail being on kids TV these days . . . ahh, kids TV in the 1970s, so much better, when you could actually understand what everyone was saying. I had a toy theatre like that too!
Yep. Same people. However, it was animated at their U.K. division, Melendez Films. The same team will later go on to animate select Peanuts shorts for The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.
I was five going on six, and I remember making that theatre, and the Dr Who stuff. (Some of which was cardboard cutouts on sticks that you sent away for and coloured in yourself, if I recall...)
This was imperial era Blue Peter, classic theme( rather than the Mike Oldfield remix), the three best ever presenters and, of course, Shep the dog. Petra must have died round about this time, as there's no sighting of her on the show( I know it was early 1977 when she died). Actually Peter Purves revealed she was a bad tempered dog with not many teeth thankfully who'd snap at people a lot and had terrible breath.
This is the trio I personally remember, but the classic trio surely is Purves, Noakes and Singleton. The end of an era - within a year all 3 were gone, replaced by Groome, Heath and Wenner but only Simon Groome would last more than a year.
@@darganx Loved both trios and I think there is much to debate in terms of which was the "classic". Ostensibly "classic" is often determined by the age of the viewer when watching the show. If you look at it purely in terms of longevity: the Singleton, Noakes, Purves trio lasted five years (1967-72) whilst the Noakes, Purves, Judd era lasted six years (1972-78).
I want too go back to the 1970s and live them all over again....
I love that zoom in at the end of Blue Peter for the logo
Wow just wow this brings back all the fabulous memories. Thank you for the upload
wow remember this like yesterday
I would have been just two months' shy of seven and still at infant school. Takes me back to childhood memories!
I loved seeing this Blue Peter ending on the Doctor Who Talons DVD.

I only now noticed that Bill Melendez done Fred Bassett - the same people behind the Peanuts cartoons?

THE Morph? Never heard the article stuck on the front before.

The Doctor and Leela images for the theatre were in the Radio Times.
You are therefore a year younger than me, as I was two months away from my seventh birthday and in my last year at infant school!
Classic Blue Peter trio.

Petra does appear in the clip, but yes this is around the time she passed away.

THE MORPH
LOL!
Who's LOL - the Bodyline series cricketer Harold Larwood (the Ashes series of 1932-1933).
Animating Fred Bassett, Nick "Willo The Wisp" Spargo.
Continuity by the Mellifluous Roger Maude
On that date Abba star Bjorn Ulvaeus turned 32.
Omg I've been looking for that episode of Fred Basset for a very long time, could you upload in full please?
wow i never realised.. Lionel Jeffries, Victor spinnetti!
Not forgetting - Ann 'It's only Sonia!!!*' Beech as the female voices (*See Fresh Fields for reference)
This is weird,I was thinking about Fred Basset recently - why would UA-cam algorithms recommend this? I never typed it in or anything 🤷♂️
,........ and with Roger Maude on links?
I wonder how Messrs Jeffries and Spinetti felt about their surnames being misspelled . . . ?
Oh yes, well spotted. That's really quite shoddy!
