I've just been reading through a list of historical Blue Peter pets, and it seems they don't have any anymore.

thread + pet = threat

Coincidentally, Blue Peter turns 60 in 12 days time. Are they having the usual milestone celebrations?

Cookie was introduced to the show on 25 September 2007 following the scandal caused by the change of Socks' name.

Shelley the Tortoise might still be on the show.

Shelley (hatched c. 1985, Morocco) is a female Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise who first appeared on the programme in 2004, as a friend to George and then became the only tortoise on the show after his death.

I reckon she murdered him to get the no. 1 tortoise spot

I agree. Everyone knows she's turtle-y evil.

We know that, because it's something experience has tortoise.

She likes to stab people with a sharp, thin stick she calls her, "Terror pin."

Shell do that

I've just seen a trailer on BBC Two for Blue Peter's 60th birthday celebrations - starting next Tuesday at 5pm on BBC One The CBBC Channel.

Lots of former presenters were shown together.

Were there any pets?

No, but I did see Janet Ellis if that's any consolation.

Today's the 60th birthday and celebrations!

I didn't realise/had forgotten the show had moved to Salford. The fact it's not at BBC Television Centre anymore is a huge loss, much like Coronation Street moving from Granada Studios.

Isn't Television Centre a shopping scheme now?

Housing the last time I looked. I mean, who wouldn't want to live where Jimm.... oh never mind.

It was beyond iconic though, for so many TV shows, and its closing was literally the end of an era.

Salford is the place 2 b now.
