Another tea-time magazine and activities show, similar to Rediffusion's Tuesday Rendezvous
or the BBC's Blue Peter, hosted by actor and DJ Pete Murray. "With comedy, fashion,
pops, facts, nature, drama, off-beat and people" as TV Times described it. Tony Bastable,
later to co-host Magpie would on occasion replace Murray when on holiday. The TV
Times claimed "This new series, which is aimed at 10 - 16 year olds, will not fall
into the trap of presenting educational material disguised as entertainment", clearly
declaring itself as the anti-Blue Peter. They also promised a monthly discussion
on the pop scene.
Little is known about the show as nothing is thought to exist, but it played host
to Eddy Arnold, Lulu, Eric Burdon, Manfred Mann, David & Jonathan and others.
The show was networked across ITV. The weekly TV Times description remained the same
from start to end, so doesn't give much indication as to what it could have specifically
included.
