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.
