Blue Peter

Blue Peter is a popular BBC television program for children, airing since 1958.

In 1996, the Blue Peter garden was destroyed by a member (or members) of Faction Paradox. This caused a far more intense psychological reaction than any direct assault on the people's psyche. (EDA: Interference: Book Two)

Ace appeared to wear a Blue Peter badge on her costume.

In 2006, shortly after an alien ship crashed in the Thames, Blue Peter presenter Matt Baker did a feature on how to make an alien ship cake. (DW: Aliens of London)

In 2008, Maria Jackson watched an episode with Gethin Jones as the presenter. (SJA: Invasion of the Bane)
