This is one I’ve been waiting for. My friend Anthea Turner has been one of the defining faces on our screens for nearly four decades, and we share a very special bond. From the Blue Peter garden to the GMTV sofa, she’s always been warm, polished and endlessly professional. She’s handled fame, headlines and reinvention with grit and good humour and that trademark candour runs through every moment of our chat, as she takes us on a journey from Mount Kilimanjaro to Tracy Island.

Peter Purves is joined for the final time by fellow Blue Peter legend Valerie Singleton.

Friends for decades, and part of the programme’s iconic trio with John Noakes, they reunite to reflect on their extraordinary time together, sharing more memories, laughter, and never-heard stories of places and people from a golden era. In this final chapter, Val opens up about going behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace, and finally explains why she chose to leave Blue Peter after such a legendary run.
