When I go to the pub my mates sometimes say "you should have been here yesterday Tim" http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/get-down-shep-john-noakes-is-dead.14510/
Blue Peter was required viewing for this wee boy in late 60s / early 70s. Mum used to let me eat in the living room to watch BP and other gems like Animal Magic, Vision On and TomTom. Never a huge fan of Magpie - although my awakening loins did seem to appreciate Susan Stranks forgetting to wear a bra! Thanks for the memories John (and the ma**aries Susan!)
"How" was a great, fun, intelligent programme. I remember all the characters - but countryman Jack Hargreaves was the best. Like a kindly uncle or even grandfather. Fine fly angler iirc.
