@Feisty1967 Well we haven't been sued yet but I know he's seen the video because @geffel conttacted him when he watched it. Apparently Mr Purves referred to it as a 'brickbat'! ;D Thanks for your comments feisty, glad it made you smile.
Purves was the one with no sense of humour, was too full of himself, resented having to wear his BP badge, disliked Biddy Baxter directing the show and claimed Petra was 'an awful dog - totally paranoid.'
Well no wonder having him as its assigned owner.
By contrast Shep flourished under the great John Noakes.
Yet to see the three presenters together today you'd think Purves had been the best not the worst of them; trying to dominate interviews, sidelining John and full of sarcasm.

its a funny song, but i dont think he would have too man regrets. he worked all his life and most dont. he is very high profile, hence your song. seems like an honest kind of guy. foot tappingly good though. cant help liking it.
Justin I love you! Im crying with laughter - even though Im not old enough to know who this fellow was - did you get inspiration from Mr Weed for this song?
Funnily enough the song was written by our drummer, Doktor Dynamite. Who knows from where his inspiration transpires for he is the master of FACTS! Not only regarding Peter Purves but SPAM meat products also!
when he was on blue peter (back in the 60s) I sent him a bread recipe (which they used) and I never ever got my blue peter badge! -even though he used my recipe (and i was a young boy then)..not a nice chap in my view...bringing down a 7 yr olds hopes of getting the bpb!!-Steve
I always expected the man to be a rotter. Maybe we should include another verse to recount your heart wrenching story of the dispicable plagarism shown by this scoundrel!
Yeah, I had an overwhelming desire to search out 'a tribe of toffs' after watching this. And it's a gentler version of the early half man half biscuit stuff.
This has to be the sillest and most pointless song I've listened to on YouTube. It's not even as good as A Tribe Of Toffs' "John Kettley Is A Weatherman" (it's in the same category). Still, I laughed at this: "Even though it's got an E in it, you don't pronounce it 'pervs'". Thanks for that... :)
i dont think peter regrets much.

Absolutely marvellous. Laugh out loud funny, but tinged with a pathos that could make you cry. Good old Peter.

Didn't he get to shag Val Singleton? Man, give that guy a Blue Peter badge. Oh by the way this song is a load of bollocks.

My older brother got loads of Blue Peter badges. Eventually he got a silver one.

It's very sad to see him looking old. It seems as if one of my childhood favourites dies every other week.
