Blue Peter in the 70's

 There's a fair chance some of you may well remember having these annuals during your childhood as keen viewers of the BBC TV Blue Peter program. 

It may surprise you to know I also have a number that are co-related to the period I was (officially) a child having not just information about what was shown during that 12 month period, but also on the news of the day such as with this edition information about the US space carrier, Skylab and some good illustrated bits about British History.

I was and remain an avid fan of this show from watching for myself around 1970 with my brothers acquiring some of their annuals as they outgrew them and having my own still.

It all helps to jog my memory back to the year and what mattered to me as a child during it such as the arts and crafts which at all the schools I attended we did.

Feature on that edition John Noakes a Northern English presenter during the show up to June 1978 with Shep, the Border collie to the left of him.
