Singing a Tired Song

I promise this blog won't end up revolving entirely around Blue Peter, however, in light of all the recent press slating the show I thought it only fair to write another post.

Ok so the show's producers have made some mistakes, but after 49 years as one of the nation's most loved programmes, surely we can all give it some leeway?

The institution which has arguably played a large role in the formation of most British journalists' childhood, is now being turned on by its 'offspring'.

The show that could for many years do no wrong, now appears, in the eyes of the press, to be able to do no right.

Here I am referring to the furore that has erupted due to the failure to use an original recording of the show's anniversary theme-tune.

Isn't it time we let sleeping dogs (or cats!) lie?

At least another Great British children's television institution is enjoying positive reviews ...........
