Sally is dead to me after her knobhead of a son started ruining Sky football programmes

 

[leedswolf]

Still had people protecting them before he died though. More to cover their own failings but still was saved from facing justice because of it

I think it was for reasons far more sinister...

 

[The Bear]

I couldn't remember what Sally James looked like so Googled and noticed this pic. WTF?

 

[Tony Towner]

Don't be shy. We're mainly a good bunch and won't hold the amount of times you've mentioned Janet Ellis on here against you.

Same time period funnily enough. I stand by my critique of Jaqui Oatley's podcasting style

What dafuq was so bad about Blue Peter?!?
(Yes, I did have a badge...)

 

[ROVERT47]

Currently working my way through it, Louis ‘you okaaay?’Theroux came as close to anyone in exposing him while he as still alive.

TV for kids who loved getting involved in church fêtes and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

The rumours are Theroux got him off camera but couldn't use it because of the lawyers.

Heathens. This was TV gold...

I was led to believe that Theroux was hoodwinked and only after Savile's death and subsequent accusations he started looking more deeply into his relationship with Savile?

Tarrant would have done it on purpose and made sure it smashed into hundreds of pieces!

I liked Blue Peter and never went to church events and certainly never did any after school stuff like Duke of Edinburgh.
I'd quite like to do DoE stuff now actually but people might think it a bit weird.

I’ve got my gold DofE award, went to the palace and met prince Phillip, and he was a top bloke.

You must have a bit of feeling for the legend John Noakes, go watch him climbing Nelson’s column in flared jeans, old army jacket with no safety harnesses

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

How old do you think I am?!

He stopped doing Blue Peter about three years before I was born.

Ah that explains why you don't like it, John Noakes was a legend.

I'm a lot older than DW, John Noakes was a tedious prick...

Don't give me any ideas.

I just about remember John Craven still doing Newsround (finished in 1989).

90s Blue Peter was waaaaaaaank.
