Valerie Seringleton
A couple of years older than me and unable to spell?
Think Blue Peter
Valerie Singleton presented Blue Peter in the seventies and was probably in her late thirties or 40s then so she could easily be 100 now!
I'd say 95

Just looked and she is 3 weeks younger than my dad would have been if he had not died 26 years ago.
Hope that helps 🤣
Christopher Trace, who died
Watching Bruce Parry suffocate a goat just now so can't concentrate fully
suffocate a goat
The awful part of me thinks that must be a euphemism..
All the GD players put your hands up!
No I'm not 95. After all I rode the Hope Triple 8 on Wednesday. Ok, it was an ebike but I got back with 3 bars. Eco on the peako? Madness.
Val’s 88, born 1937. She’s 17 years older than me.
Every time I see the sign I think of Christopher Trace, who was co-presenter of Blue Peter along with Valerie Singleton and John Neroakes when I was a nipper in the 60s
Ah... so Peter Purveres came along later, did he? I didn't realise that.

they were the great triumvirate

It coincided with the realisation that Christopher Terrace had been taking part in a bit of extra-curricular activity on a Blue Peter expedition to Norway.
As Simon Groom said (much) later, "One of the competitors was saying to me that as long as you have a decent length to start with, well then you can manage a good lay."
Peter Purves, or Purveres apparently, lives up the road from me (true story), he’s 86. I agree, Seringlton, Neroakes & Purveres were the bestest Peterers. 👍
No you can't put a lapel mic on me, Joan Armatrading gave me this she barked while simultaneously complaining about the lighting.
Went down a lot in my estimation that evening, rude and surly. Maybe it was the realisation that presenting the Surrey Business Awards in Woking was now the level she'd fallen to.The temptation to tell her how much better Leslie Judd was hard to resist 😂

I suppose a bit of context might make sense of this...?
You could say that about the whole thread to be honest
