If you're British and aged between about 45 and 60, chances are that Monday and Thursday teatimes meant 'Blue Peter' as surely as Saturday meant 'Doctor Who', with the A-team of presenters: Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves - and John Noakes.
If you could climb it, swim it, walk it, abseil it, slide down it, jump out of it, make it or bake it on live TV, probably while accompanied by 'Shep', his friendly Border Collie, then John Noakes did - and made it great fun for viewers to watch and learn.
Sad to hear of his death after enduring years of illness; a childhood TV hero for me and millions of other viewers, part of the classic 'Blue Peter' team in the 1970s Golden Age of BBC children's TV.
