BLUE PETER

UK / BBC1 / x25m-e / 1958-continuing

Creator: John Hunter Blair

Highly long running children's magazine show (one of the longest running shows on UK tv in fact). The aim of the program is to inform, educate and just entertain the kids at home and over the years it has certainly achieved that, there have been thousands of notable guests on the show over the years too, from prime ministers to pop stars, it is broadcast live (meaning there have been plenty of slip ups too such as the infamous moment of John Noakes talking to a zoo keeper who happens to be holding onto a young elephant (called Lulu) that is making "a mess" all over the floor which John then proceeds to slip in).
The theme tune is called Barnacle Bill (once recorded by Mike Oldfield) and initially the show was a once weekly 15 minute show then in 1963 it went to twice weekly thirty minute episodes. Original presenters were Christopher Trace and Leila Williams. The show is now seen three times a week Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 5.10pm. 
Each year the team go on a special overseas assignment during the couple of months each year the show is off air, the filmed reports of this are then shown over several weeks upon the shows return, also each year the team come up with a special charitable campaign that all the viewers can get involved with, this is usually along the lines of collecting bottle tops, aluminium cans, stamps and so on. 
Also heavily involved in Blue Peter are the long line of pets (from dogs, cats and even a tortoise) that the show have looked after, the most famous one being John Noakes' dog Shep.
Other regular ingredients include the cooking slot where the presenters showed the viewers easy to cook delights and also the "make" slot which gave rise to the infamous "here's one I made earlier" and "sticky back plastic" sayings. The makes showed kids how to make toys and gifts from things they would have lying around, including the proverbial sticky back plastic.
The show certainly looks like being around for a long time still. In fact you could say it is practically an institution.
