I was just about to say the same thing. Even thinking about that programme gives me palpitations and vertigo!

Do have a rewatch on YouTube if you dare . Is so much worse to watch as an adult

I always think of Lulu the elephant whenever Blue Peter is mentioned.

That seems to be a myth re JA unfortunately.

Nooo. I won’t believe it! You’ll be telling me she didn’t have an affair with Albert Finney next….

It's true!! She was the one who years later let the cat out of the bag, allegedly.

Edit: This is wrong !!! I was talking about Peter Purves not JA.
