- Full episode of Blue Peter from March 1981.
Peter Duncan cycles over the London marathon route.
Sarah Greene interviews Clare Francis to promote a new series about sailing.
Pupils from a primary school in Hertfordshire help Simon Groome bury a time capsule under a multi-storey car park ramp.
Peter Duncan would fail to complete the marathon. Clare Francis would give up sailing to become a successful novelist. The carpark was torn down and the time capsule was apparently reburied, but no further interest in it was ever shown by the programme's makers.
Omg 40 years ago, where has time gone and how little we have left.
Nice one chirpy!
They have just today dug this time capsule up
Thanks for letting me know. This clip has been on UA-cam for nearly five years and they didn't think to contact me, or it would seem the school. I imagine they'll take it down now.
I ever recognised Sarah Greene for a moment, I was always used to seeing her with blonde hair! 😂❤
81 time capsule is dug up and opened today
Wow how fascinating the children who buried it must be absolutely overwhelmed at seeing what has become of it . Watched it on this morning with Sarah Green how nostalgic I hope the children have seen it
Being one of those children I'm not entirely overwhelmed that my hard work turned into a muddy brick, I think I may just cope. If it had been stuck at the back of a cupboard at school it would have had a much better chance of survival!
To be fair, the new capsule that’s been buried today doesn’t look much better than the original one! There’ll be absolutely nothing left of the 1981 contents once that’s uncovered.
@@AyliCarper complete waste of time wasn’t it really lol we can just look at this and see what was in it. They should have showed us more in this bit of film, then we’d know what there was. The same thing will happen to the stuff they’ve put in there now.
They really should've had a box that went inside the box and vacuum sealed all the items too that went into the new time capsule. A few were in plastic bags and glass jars but the majority were just dumped in unprotected. The contents are going to be another disappointing, muddy, corroded mess in 40 odd years time went it is opened again.
For those that missed it, it's on the This Morning UA-cam channel.
@@djdrwatson yeah, you’d think they’d have learnt from their mistakes wouldn’t you? Would have been better to put everything in kilner jars inside the box, and vacuumed sealed as well like you said, as the rubber seals on the kilner jars would erode as well over a few years. Might still come out a corroded mess, but at least take some extra measures. I definitely won’t be around to see them dig that one up anyway 😆
Watched the This Morning clip earlier today, so sad to see the remains of things. Pleased I found this to be able to see what they buried.
I didn’t even realise Sarah Green presented Blue Peter until today, I only rember her from Going Live with Philip, Trevor and Simon. I was only 4/ 5 in 81.
She didn't seem too happy about the date of her tenure being publicised either. Can't blame her!
She left Blue Peter in 1983 to co-host Saturday Superstore.
Now we have opened the time capsule in 2022, it would be amazing to see if the power of the internet could find all these children and let them see the few bits of rescued, nearly half a century old memories 🥰
It might have helped if they'd even bothered to contact the school before broadcast. The school knew I was on it and both my children went there.
They should have that kids now adults on this morning
You would have thought they'd have been bothered to at least contact the school!
I bet 40 years ago they still thought Blue Peter would still a massive show in 2022.
However nobody watches Blue Peter in 2022 and they have to open the time capsule on an ITV show for publicity! 😂
That box has bring open on this morning yesterday
i did not know blue peter buried time capsule in 1981 till today
I think they forgot about it tbh
Better days 🙂 not like the horrible rude selfish X modern peeps X only thing is be yourself smile X keep away from X those folk we had it all still have it X 60s 70s 80s ace X full joy adventure X and music X Blue Peter xx x
Sadly, the records did not survive.
So it hasn’t been found then (the time capsule I mean)
Yes it has, dug up last year when building on car park. It was featured on Good Morning who it seemed 'ripped off' this upload. See eg. ua-cam.com/video/kUTez_VqJS4/v-deo.html.
Where was the time capsule reburied? Is it still there in the new place?
I only 'know' it was reburied because later in the eighties a school friend had watched Blue Peter and reported that it had been. (Late eighties - I'm sure I saw them rebury the 1971 capsule in the garden in 1984.)
All I can say is that one of the first emails I ever sent (in 1999) was to Blue Peter asking them about it, to which I did not receive a reply. This particular time capsule hasn't been mentioned again.
I'm not bitter. It's a box of nonsense underneath a car park ramp.
It was moved into the BPG. It was opened in 2000. All the materials retrieved were destroyed by the elements, especially water.
@@Stiffd1 I know I saw
@@Stiffd1 I knew that , I was wondering about where this one was judging that the car park must be not there any more because of the changes to Telly Centre
@@Stiffd1 No, that was the Blue Peter timebox from 1971. This one has not been mentioned since the eighties.
Sarah had Brown Hair then
Crazy days
Wtf was all that sludge when they opened it 40 years later?
It's what you get if you put a wooden box under a concrete bridge in a car park for fun!
@@AyliCarper Why didn't they just hide in under a floorboard in a house?
@@penguinbars5504 It would have made more sense. I've just looked in the loft and I still have the safety helmet I'm wearing in the film, so my archiving skills seem to be a bit more efficient than the BBC's.
Shepshit.
Simon groom says to the kids if someone digs this it up in the future they’ll probably think what a funny lot we were living in the 80s! Damn site better than living now!😂
Sarah Greene looked so much better in the early 80s before she adopted her mid/late 80s look.
40 yrs later what a waste
Shame that it turned into a muddy rotten mess.
I suppose everything does in the end, but it would have lasted a lot longer if someone had just shoved it on a shelf somewhere.
