Game 45

The daredevil of children’s television

A programme for children

The game's question

Take turns reading the clues aloud, then decide together: true or not true.

Here was a man who loved a challenge. On ‘Blue Peter’, the BBC programme for children that began in 1958, the daredevil John Noakes became a familiar face from 1965, and a whole generation grew up watching him. True or not true: he presented ‘Blue Peter’ alongside Valerie Singleton and Peter Purves.

  • True
  • Not true
  • He presented it alone
Need a hint?

Three faces side by side in the studio: one woman, two men – and the programme’s dog close by.

See the answer

Answer: True – John Noakes, Valerie Singleton and Peter Purves, together on ‘Blue Peter’.

Why this game : A face seen every week as a child, or with your own children – a programme that links two generations.
