Climbed Nelson's Column, flew with the Red Arrows, did a record-breaking sky-dive, threw himself down the Cresta Run: Noakes remains a legend. It was damned good being a kid in '76.
So glad to have grown up in this era of kids TV. No bs, its just as it was, no scripts persay, just showing the presenters living the experience. Look at the pads! Great stuff.
Absolutely! My Grandpa made me a go-kart. Pram wheels, string and a plank of wood. I even had a Safety Pullover just like John Noakes 🤣
Definitely had scripts mate
@@jamiecullum5567 Thats why I did say persay and not that they did everything adlib. Thats also why im glad I watched this era as it enabled me to be concise and make correct statements I can justify, especially if others cant read whats in front of them or interpret it themselves.
@@crediblemulk4638 ah so putting persay means thats meaning of the following statement is infact the opposite of what it means
@@jamiecullum5567An attempt at clever word play isnt the burn you think it is. Im still right in what I said. A lot of the content was loosely scripted, not set in stone like a soap opera.
Watching these men do Skeleton runs on very basic sleds. Now, Team GB alone spend millions on areo dynamics and getting the perfect sled.
John Noakes was a true Blue Peter legend.
I'm so glad this was the TV when I was growing up. Real TV shows with real people doing amazing things unlike today's TV!
Don't you remember that Celebrity Ski Jump series on Channel 4 10 years ago? So many people got injured it was scrapped!
@@matthewprince9705 usually if a show is cancelled they were doing something right
Proper telly. Imaginative & informative ideas, put into practice on a modest budget, by my someone who can string a sentence together.
And no box tickers.
Yeah proper t.v. & proper winters
Back then.
Completely and utterly fabulous thank god I grew up with John.
So game was Noakesy, a great filter of info and enthusiasm, infectious spirit
Why does it not surprise me that it’s RAF pilots treating this like a hobby 🇬🇧👍
John Noakes was an iconic presenter…. I love the RAF Chaps!
Tally ho!
The legend that is .....John Noakes!
Wow, I remember watching this when I was about 20. John Noakes was my hero. The way he put his life on the line with his daredevil antics . He was an inspiration to youngsters. Not like todays overpaid cry babies on I’m a celebrity this that and the other. The man is a LEGEND. If anyone in show business deserved a knighthood it was John. 👍
Bloody brilliant.
He was so excited. How I loved Blue Peter and was enthused by him
I am amazed at the audio. Especially during the 5:10 instructions. Great quality and isolation.
Exciting adrenaline filled content for boys and girl to aspire to..
So what happened BBC?
I'm impressed by the on board footage, i was expecting a Cameraman with a fullsize camera sitting on John's back and a soundman dragging at his heels.
The closest I got to this in the late 70’s was secretly borrowing one of my Mums best coffee trays & using it like a skateboard down a icy/snowy hill between a bank of trees, soooo much fun😀👍
I was 16 and with my best mate on the back of an old London Routemaster bus and as it was speeding along over a local bridge I said JOKINGLY to my mate "I'm gonna jump off" with absolutely no intention of actually doing it. The next thing I knew I was rolling and tumbling head over heels in the gutter. To this day I still don't know exactly what happened. It was just a laugh 😀
It’s very safe they’ve got some blankets up to stop you flying off the corners. 🙂 Get down Shep .
What a great man John was balls of steel
What excellent television
I used to love watching Blue Peter when i was a kid, back in the 60s and 70s. Just good, honest entertainment by professionals, no stupid woke agendas to push.
Lying on your stomach going downhill at 60 + mph on a baking tray. You were a hero John Noakes.
John Noakes is a legend.
The waxed aero dynamic moustache is advantageous.
What a bloke a John was 🙏
Fantastic character, all done in his high tech RAF jumper.
I wish we could have John Noakes back, what a legend.
Guy Martin is John's lovechild.
When watching 37 year old BBC tv is more entertaining than watching current BBC tv 😂
Ahhh the days before Health and Safety, protective clothing and crash helmets!
I'm glad to have been a product of the 60's and this brings back so many memories.
Noakes was FEARLESS. He'll not be forgotten so long as this video survives!
His Nelson's Column climb was terrifying and legitimately dangerous.
same safety procedures today on the cresta. beginners normally aim for 70s on their first run.
great memories... !!
Noakes was one daredevil of a man
Don't you remember that Celebrity Ski Jump series on Channel 4 10 years ago? So many people got injured it was scrapped!
What a guy John Noakes was to do that, although Blue Peter was a children's program my mum loved watching it as well when I was a child back in the 70's, ..❤
So this was kids TV and the there was Fawlty Towers also on TV , what an era!!!!
What they don't show here is John partially pulling down his pants to show Peter and Lesley the bruising on the side of his ass/hip. I'm genuinely not joking!
Sure that wasn’t after the bobsleigh crash.?
@@highdownmartin That's a very good point. I forgot he crashed that, too! Fantastic presenter, though.
No, that was a year previously. Fair play to John though for doing the Cresta on a glorified tea-tray after that horrific smash-up.
@@highdownmartin I think you are right if I remember correctly - plus John mentioned at the start of this that the Cresta Run was not like the bob run he had done and crashed at before. I remember watching the show where John showed off the battle scars after the crash - the bruising was fairly awesome.
How did Noakes fit his massive balls on that toboggan ?!
On a Crest of a wave of nostalgia here ....... o.k. ....... and here is one we prepared earlier....yeah good advice for the rock concerts......up in smoke ...great times
Ahhhh,my youth right here 😄
Legend
Classic television from a great era for kid's TV. If you want the equivalent in print, then read the chapter from Ian Fleming's novel 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' in which James Bond chases the arch-villain Blofeld - also on a bobsleigh - down the mountain. It's also pretty graphic - and terrifying !
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx love the program well done BBC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Now this would all be labelled as 'toxic masculinity', but these role models are what boys today need... Honest men that overcome their fear to do great things.
Sounds like you weren't alive then.
No it wouldn’t
not in switzerland.
Came here for the bobsleigh where he came off... remember it well, live, back in the mid 70s... am sure it'll be somewhere...
The Socially Distant Sports Bar brought me here
No health and safety. Just freedom.
that looks a lot of fun!
crazy.
Needs at least one lgbt physically challenged /mentally challenged ethnic minority presenter with an accent we cant understand to bring it bang up to date. Thanks goodness I was a kid in the early 70's
You can get arrested these days, just for saying you’re English
@@Leonards-leopard these days...
2:40 Just love this guy what it was all about don't ya know what! Seriously better times genuinely happier people enjoying themselves without any self obsessed extremist finding something to moan about. ❤
Was Shep holding the camera lol
John Noake's death wish crusade continues
i was wondering if they're should've kept John on b p..
When men smoked pipes.
I remember this when men were men and not mirror hugging nancys
Sad homophobic bigot. I bet you're scared of black people too Steve, eh?
What can I do with all these BLOODY milk bottle tops ...?
Take note Mr Linaker.
and Simon Bedford. UK af.
I'll take this show over "The View" any day of the week... even if it's almost 50 years old.
The last time John was on ice it didn't work out too well!
Good wholesome blah blah blah not like today's woke blah blah blah.
John Noakes was an absolute legend!
