This is Barnacle Bill, which was used as the original Blue Peter theme tune from 1958 well into the 60s, the show still uses the same tune as its theme, but several different versions have been used since this one.

  • Why on earth did they change it? This arrangement is far superior to the version they have now.

    I also think the same thing every time I hear the Crimewatch theme or virtually any other updated theme tune. If they're perfect, why improve them????

  • I must be ancient now I've started seeking out old theme tunes from the 60s and 70s!

  • Takes me back 40 years!!!

  • Isn't this great? The drum-roll at the beginning immediately announces - "here is something special: pay attention". No wonder Blue Peter was Children's TV Royalty.

  • "Everything is twickety-boo. Twickety-boo. Twickety-boo." Lyrics added in an old Danny Kaye movie called "Merry Andrew."

  • @StickersOnTheWallUK I agree, its just the best! It sound much nicer than the one now! Why just not keep a tradition??

  • Such a peaceful theme tune! I wish they kept this all the way through!

  • "HELLO!!....."
