Danny Baker's TV Heroes - Peter Glaze

Here Danny Baker outlines the changing format of the 30 year long children's programme that went out at 5 to 5 on a Friday. I was of the "Ed Stewpot" era of the late 70s, and remember the team of Peter Glaze, Don Maclean and Jan Hunt doing the sketches and songs. Fantastic stuff!

2 words about "Doh!" : James Finlayson. Enjoyed watching this though, good vid.

[cryingonion2]

Yes, I have been corrected on that before. I better amend my comments!

Wonderful stuff, the Glaze. That jacket though, Candyman. I picture David Byrne sucking a thoughtful tooth while watching this, and planning his Stop Making Sense stage show.

What a show ! Mind you, THIS Danny Baker tv heros show is now 18 years old !!!! ; when I was younger my brother and I laughed at how I would, as we knew it, 'Peter Glaze' him, by putting words in his mouth when he was about to say something making him start to say the wrong thing by mistake that I had just said to fool him !!

[milkybarkid70]

@cryingonion2 ok thanks for that anyway.

Thanks for the video! I've been trying to find the name of "Don and Pete" for a long time -- here in Canada, the French CBC used to air that segment in its kids' show, and I've been trying to find what it was called.

A good programme, Don McLean and Peter Glaze shouldn't be forgotten. It's a shame the presenter's so annoying though!

[Cool2BCeltic]

I used to love the way Don McLean would prick the balloon of Peter Glaze's self importance. It's fair to say they were the Morecambe & Wise of children's television.
