- Val, John and Peter take viewers on a whistlestop tour behind the scenes of Studio One at BBC Television Centre while simultaneously broadcasting a live episode of Blue Peter.
Studio One is the biggest studio in BBC Television Centre at 10,800 square feet, with huge doors measuring 18 feet high and 14 feet wide.
The studio ceiling contains 168 scenery hoists and 240 electric lighting hoists. Up to 500 individual lamps can be installed and these are all operated from the lighting control room.
The studio has six floor cameras and a Transatlantic crane called 'Big Bill', which can raise a camera and camera person up to 20 feet above the ground.
The pictures from all of these cameras go through to the production control room, where the studio director, with assistance from the vision mixer, chooses which pictures are seen by the viewers at home.
Presented by Valerie Singleton, John Noakes and Peter Purves.
Originally broadcast 25 March, 1968.
Blue Peter is still going strong, with new editions of the show broadcast live on CBBC and BBC iPlayer every Friday at 5pm: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...

What a great slice of TV history. Great presenters.
I was working at Television Centre in 1995, and once looked into TC1, then the biggest studio in Europe - they were recording The Sky At Night, maybe the smallest programme the BBC made at the time - Just Patrick Moore on an armchair and a globe on a stand, curtained off in one corner !
I like how at
So accuratley explained! Love you BBC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
1. Came here from Tom Scott's newsletter in Nov 2023. He says his presenting style is "partly from the later incarnations of shows like this." Cool.
Valerie Singleton, John Noakes, Peter Purves and their Siamese cat Jason walking around, happy childhood Blue Peter memories. ❤️
This would’ve changed my life if I’d seen it as a kid, but in Australia they didn’t do this sort of thing. It’s little things like this which made the BBC the national treasure that it is.
These films of the old BBC Television Centre are historic and precious since the BBC in their infinite wisdom disposed of it.
Amazing to think that video editing on a computer can be done by one person now.
I loved Blue Peter when I was a kid
I'm always fascinated by the superheroes working so diligently behind the scenes 👌
They did another behind the scenes in November 1974 in colour. In 1991 when Studio TC1 was reopened after three years of being refurbished and refitted they did another behind the scenes. I remember that one especially, as I was six years old and watched Blue Peter every week.
Nice touch of them to bring in the echo of the room as the camera reveals the size of the studio. :)
Great to see everyone but the presenters wearing a shirt and tie. A different era.
That actually was absolutely fascinating.........
Brazil Here 🇧🇷
I really dig the old Blue Peter theme at the end
Studio TC1 is still there today in 2023. It is a very busy studio in 2023. Only TC1, TC2 and TC3 remain. All the rest have been demolished.
I once went on a tour of BBC TV Centre and saw Studio One!
1968 - the year the Ladybird book 'How It Works' Television came out (with cutaway drawing of Television Centre inside the front & rear covers!).
