Valerie Singleton: Who Knew (Part 1)
Peter Purves is back – and this week he’s joined by a true TV legend: Valerie Singleton.
Friends for decades and colleagues on Blue Peter, the world’s longest-running children’s show – Peter thought he knew everything about Val. But from dancer and actress to BBC continuity announcer and “Queen of the Voice-Overs,” her story is full of surprises.
Every 2 weeks The Peter Purves Podcast brings you open, honest chats with guests from every corner of entertainment, packed with memories, laughter, and the kind of moments only old friends can share.

This is fantastic, what a find…when I was a child in the 60’s and 70’s Blue Peter was my favourite programme. Both of you were the best.
