I've only got one annual, one video, and the first 20 BP books (and a few others after that), but I'm hoping that we may one day get a DVD release of the pair. If you go over to Moonbase Central (in my blog list) and type their names into the search box, you should see 'home-made' figures of B&B.

This comment is a good few years down the line...Kid<br />This comment is a good few years down the line but like you I remember Bleep & Booster on Blue Peter. There is an article to be found on Bear Alley Books that give a lot of information about all the books that Bleep & Booster appear in. There were 3 annuals (have 2 & 3), 2 story books (have both) and the first 14 Blue Peter books (have 2 to 14). I also have the video but not able to watch at the moment. It is nice to know there is another fan out there.Dennisanderfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042834349816240535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-42322482607793387332015-05-24T12:52:43.976+01:002015-05-24T12:52:43.976+01:00One of the two adventures on my B&B video is i...One of the two adventures on my B&B video is in colour, Ken, so it must be the case.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-42439599720475010102015-05-24T12:09:34.749+01:002015-05-24T12:09:34.749+01:00Bleep and Booster certainly benefitted from having...Bleep and Booster certainly benefitted from having the BBC Radiophonic Workshop providing such a wonderful soundtrack.

Watch parts of the show, but turned over to Magpie or something else for a few minutes at a time. In the days before remote controls with programme info buttons, kids were always switching channels to see what they might be missing.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-28093767972167852682015-05-23T23:27:11.377+01:002015-05-23T23:27:11.377+01:00Kid, I'm amazed by that - I watched that YouTu...Kid, I'm amazed by that - I watched that YouTube clip but I have no memory at all of Bleep & Booster even though I was watching Blue Peter from about 1970 onwards.

I'm not even sure that I remember seeing them in the '70s, to be honest, but I guess I must have, whenever I caught the show.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-17006493218881859642015-05-23T14:05:57.181+01:002015-05-23T14:05:57.181+01:001977, Kid ?

I was watching Blue Peter long before that and I have no memory of Bleep & Booster - if they were on the show till '77 then they clearly made no impact on me. I remember watching an episode of 'Magpie' circa 1975 and they had a spoof Blue Peter badge which showed a blue-faced man with a noose around his neck - obviously he was "Peter" and the noose was making his face blue - this was meant to be funny but I thought it was a bit shocking to be honest !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-63672516310909270602015-05-23T13:26:27.728+01:002015-05-23T13:26:27.728+01:00Surprisingly, I think B&B were on the programm...Surprisingly, I think B&B were on the programme until 1977 - unless I've misunderstood a reference to the Blue Peter books. I never saw the programme with the time capsule, but I may have seen a clip. There was a B&B video with two episodes released years ago (which I've got), but there's nothing on DVD yet.

But in January 2000 I heard that the Blue Peter team were going to unearth the time capsule buried in the '70s so I watched that episode - oh dear, water had got into the time capsule and everything was black and rotten due to water damage, what a letdown !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
