It'd be a bit embarrassing for CBBC if this 'competition' rates higher than the show itself.
It's Blue Peter in name only. The presenters used to be household names, the time it went out was known by all.
Need a presenter, just ask Biddy, she knew how to get the right ones most of the time.
This show should have had pride of place on BBC1 to this day if it was valued, the one exception on children's shows in the afternoon schedule.
There was a singing competition for glee clubs on CBBC back in March. The non-live bits stayed on the CBBC channel, and the two live shows were simulcast on BBC1 & CBBC.
No wonder if the viewing figures are abysmal. The programme now faces fierce competition from so many other programmes pitched at the same level.
Like what?
Totally agree with every word.:mad:
Well.. "The One Show" for a kick-off.
but I'm not taking the subject too seriously.
You have my vote!
It's more to do with games consoles, smart phones, the internet and TV catch up services these days.
My two teenage daughters usually get in from school and start doing other stuff rather than putting the TV on.
After dinner they'll bung on BBC3 or "The Apprentice" or something like that.
Err..
I was actually taking the rise out of it, probably not so obvious to some without the inclusion of a daft smiley.
Kids are a lot more worldly than they were when Blue Peter started, so the appeal has obviously progressively diminished due to other attractions.
It was also very "middle class" which these days would put off a lot of kids.
You're consequently not going to get the tremendous support to the
worthy initiatives they used to start. A lot of them wouldn't be bothered.
Sad, but that's how it is for many.
Well, they still seem to persist with it so there must be something in it for the presenters. Surely they should take a different direction?
I mean, they do give viewers opportunities such as designing the official poster for Wimbledon/Diamond Jubilee.
I think it's still a good show but it shouldn't be judged on ratings at all.
Kids do still watch TV, but they tend to watch it later on after Blue Peter has finished.
