happy 50th birthday blue peter!

here is a photo someone else prepared earlier: my favourite presenters john, val and peter (but then i am one of them old bods).

the world turned upside down

is this an old april fool or what? after reading in the telegraph today about the trouble that mike batt has being taken seriously after writing and performing his wombling songs in the 1970's, i youtube the wombles and come across this clip. not only are the stars of such classics as "remember you're a womble" and "wombling white tie and tails" lip-synching to 'anarchy in the uk' by the sex pistols, but they are doing it on 'blue peter' . it is as shocking as if princess anne decided to go on a home shopping network and model bikinis. or something like that. on blue peter. punk wombles. excuse me while i go and put my head in a bucket.



no no no no no no no no no! this is the way that i remember them!!


*sigh* that's better
