This is the earliest episode of Blue Peter I have seen with the date on the credits. I have seen a 1974 episode on here with no date and they didn't have BBC TV on the credits in the 60s like every other programme did. I watched a programme about 15 years ago called The Curse of Blue Peter and they said about how Biddy Baxter ruled the show with a rod. Yvette Fielding said how she phoned hear at about 5.30 in the morning once.
Yes, me too. I was 7. The Radio Times cover was published at the end of May in 1977, the week before their Jubilee special edition. Nicola Griffin was interviewed by John Craven about her prize winning cover art. By 1977 the Radio Times masthead was incorporated into the cover image and was no longer on a white strip above it as demonstrated by John Noakes in the clip.
It was a great idea to introduce children to the news ,I watched news round growing up and John craven would explain things so we would understand even done an item on pocket money hehehehe ,now Tv is not good glad I was born at a good time
I totally agree. Newsround explained the news so we could all understand. I can't believe that this was all so long ago, and yet I remember these shows so clearly. Really glad that clips like these have survived and are available for us all to see again - not to mention in technically perfect condition.
The days when TV was a novelty

I remember watching this live, and remember the radio times cover coming out. I was 5!

I would have been six, so born between you both. I well remember watching Blue Peter and John Craven's Newsround and was infant school age.
why is the bbc1 text yellow bro?
Amazing quality!
Now didn't Schools and Colleges presentation from 1975-77 use the yellow BBC1 Futura Bold logo
Curious as to why Newsround was on after Blue Peter. I thought BP always took the 5:10 slot?

There's also a little shadow on the top of the mirrored globe.
Most likely. Also, the globe looks less detailed than usual.
Was this Jack and Jill's debut on Blue Peter?
I'm not sure, as they look about 6 months old
You never know what you can find on your DVD's, that is very unusual.
+Daniel Mullins I'd be a bit surprised if they found this on a DVD!
