Being only a young British kid at the time, all of four ! I find it amazing I still remember little bits of this particular episode, firstly about the fossils and then, perhaps it was the next episode or the one before , when I remember a British Army (?) Officer, first showing a small distress flare to Val and then jumping into a fast flowing river and firing one of these flares.
I was in Singapore when Blue Peter was filmed. They went to RAF Seletar and filmed the gully Gully man (snaked charmer ) along with children from the RAF base watching. I was stood behind Val and Peter, met them and have photographs and autographs. But have never seen the episode. So was so disappointed when this didn’t show the our bit. I have been looking for it for years. May be one day or did it end up on the cutting room floor 😢
I was 10 in 1966 ,, blue Peter was such a big thing in our lives after school ,, I am 67 now ,,
Vest childrens pogram ever! I learnt more from it than i did at school! The presenters made it sound so interesting.
Was 13 when I watched this on TV Blue Peter the best.
I loved Blue Peter !!!!

I believe thanks to Biddy Baxter, all Blue Peter episodes from 1967 exist
This is the earliest episode I have- next time I upload a Blue Peter episode it will be 90s era

I was there then too, aged 10
Imagine having an acid bath in your back garden! A few more skeletons would end up in it.
$5 for a durian in 1966? - and Chris only took a small bit! Midnight robbery!
i have to say that was bloody awful
Not awful, just as things were nearly 60 years ago.
Your opinion is wholly wrong
@@stephenguppy7882 They were indeed Its so middle class LOL I loved Blue Peter as a kid
@@jtomlin1uk It is my opinion and I am going to voice it. If you don't like it, tough titties.
