10 February - Peter Purves Kicks Off

If you grew up in the UK somewhere in the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s, Peter Purves will be a well known name. First for Doctor Who…

Then the classic line-up of Blue Peter (“Get down, Shep!”)

But he’s here today, on his 86th birthday (so born in 1939, for the hard of counting) because in the 1980’s he hosted Kick Start, a game show about trials riding. Brilliant.

Two lads from our school appeared on kick Start… this was one of them

Looks like he’s a bit crossed up on that log? :thinking:
