  • In the summer of 1973, Blue Peter put out an appeal for information regarding two missing Daleks, brazenly shepherded away from outside Studio 8 at Television Centre in London. Peter Purves went out and about to see if the public were able to help. Thankfully, the hunt for the pair resulted in their safe return, sparing everyone from the certain doom of extermination.
    Clip taken from Blue Peter, originally broadcast on BBC One, Monday 11 June 1973.

    So glad they got Peter Purves to do this story as he has first hand knowledge of Dr Who

    50 years ago a damaged Dalek would have been something to celebrate but now it was rather sweet to see the poor thing having to be helped out of the studios.
    (Always good to see the old BBC studios too. Those doors were pretty impressive.)

    Remember it well. I was about 7 or 8 and in fact I’ve just realised this was the first time I took interest in a ‘news story’. I was fascinated by first the appeal and then the aftermath. I bet the producers couldn’t believe their luck when the appeal got such quick results. Children quickly lose interest and move on so to have such a quick and successful resolution to the story really made it memorable.
    And it’s always great to see John, Peter and Lesley. :)

    Fancy finding one sitting in front of your garage.

    This is such a strange story! Two Daleks get nicked in broad daylight outside BBC Centre in May 1973 then a month later in June, Blue Peter puts out an appeal & 24 hours later one turns up in East Dulwich & another 11 miles away in Ealing! Did anyone confess? The mind boggles!

      BBC technicians had a drunken party, nicked a couple of daleks, then came up with this craziness to give them back without owning up to it.

      The children's TV series Blue Peter has been on British TV since 1958.
      The presenters come and go. I was 10 when this was broadcast , and these presenters were for me some of the best.
      They always had animals with them . The black and white border collie was called Shep, and I think if the other dog was there was called Petra. There was a cat as well, no idea of the name.
      I believe the animals were there for children who couldn't have pets of their own, and so they saw the dogs as puppies and all that entails, training , feeding and looking after them, as if it were the children's own pet. Many dogs and cats and a tortoise followed over the years.
      I Hope this helps a bit . regards Ben

      Yes I'm sure the cat was Jason. Apparently when John Noakes left Blue Peter he didn't keep Shep which I found surprising. There may have been mitigating circumstances that we are not privy to, but I was disappointed that that was the case.

      Actually, the Morris Minor was used by a lot of Police Forces as 'panda' cars, which unlike the 'pursuit' cars (Rover P6B, Triumph PI) didn't need to have a lot of speed. That said, one force skimmed the cylinder heads and fitted twin SU carbs on their Minors and turned them into 'Q' cars.
