Blue Peter
''Blue Peter'' is a British CBBC children's television programme. It first aired in 1958 and is the longest-running children's TV show in the world.〔Marson, Richard. "Blue Peter" 50th Anniversary Book: The Story of Television's Longest-running Children's Programme.Hamlyn (21 September 2008). ISBN 978-0-600-61793-8〕 Although the show has a nautical title and theme, its current format takes the form of a magazine/entertainment show containing viewer and presenter challenges, as well as the famous arts and crafts "makes". It is shown on the CBBC channel. During its history there have been many presenters, often consisting of two women and two men at a time. The show uses a studio for the main format of the presenting; there is also a garden, often referred to as the Blue Peter Garden, which is used during the summer months or for outdoor activities. The current presenters are Barney Harwood, Lindsey Russell and Radzi Chinyanganya. There is also a trainee guide dog named Iggy which ''Blue Peter'' is looking after during its first year of training, and there is also Shelly the tortoise who has been with Blue Peter since 2004, Shelly is thirty so still quite a young tortoise, when she is not filming she lives with her family in London.
==Content==
Blue Peter content is wide-ranging. Most programmes are broadcast live, but usually include at least one filmed report. There will also often be a demonstration of an activity in the studio, and/or a music or dance performance. Between the 1960s and 2011 the programme was made at BBC Television Centre, and often came from Studio 1, the fourth-largest TV studio in Britain and one of the largest in Europe. This enabled ''Blue Peter'' to include large-scale demonstrations and performances within the live programme. From the September 2007 series, the programme was broadcast from a small fixed set in Studio 2. However, from 2009 the series began to use the larger studios once more; also more programmes were broadcast in their entirety from the Blue Peter Garden. The show is also famous for its "makes", which are demonstrations of how to construct a useful object or prepare food. These have given rise to the oft-used phrase "Here's one I made earlier", as presenters bring out a perfect and completed version of the object they are making – a phrase credited to Christopher Trace, though Marguerite Patten is another possibility. He also used the line "And now for something completely different", which was later taken up by ''Monty Python''.〔Alistair McGown, 'Trace, Christopher Leonard (1933–1992)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, online edn, Oxford University Press, October 2005; online edn, October 2008 (accessed 29 June 2009 )〕 Time is also often given over to reading letters and showing pictures sent in by viewers.
Over 4,000 editions have been produced since 1958, and almost every episode from 1964 onwards still exists in the BBC archives. This is extremely unusual for programmes of that era, and is a testament to the foresight and initiative of editor Biddy Baxter, as she personally ensured that telerecordings and, from 1970, video copies were kept of the episodes.
Many items from ''Blue Peter'' history have become embedded in British popular culture, especially moments when things have gone wrong, such as the much-repeated clip of Lulu the elephant (from a 1969 edition)〔(Edition broadcast 3 July 1969 )〕 who urinated and defecated on the studio floor, appeared to tread on the foot of presenter John Noakes and then proceeded to attempt an exit, dragging her keeper along behind her. Other well-remembered and much-repeated items from this era include the Girl Guides' campfire that got out of hand on the 1970 Christmas edition, John Noakes's report on the cleaning of Nelson's Column,〔(Edition broadcast 30 May 1977 )〕 and Simon Groom referring to a previous item on door-knockers with the words 'what a beautiful pair of knockers'.〔(Edition broadcast 14 January 1980 )〕
