It seems odd to increase to 4 presenters for a programme that appears for half an hour once a week. Didnโt they originally increase to 4 when they increased the amount of shows from 3 to 4 in the 90s? I wonder if they will be increasing the amount of episodes, or maybe somebody will be leaving.

And the TV Forum enthusiasts.

Blue Peter cashing in on YouTubers now. Is Adam going to be the youngest presenter in the showโs history?
Edit: Just remembered Yvette Fielding was 18 when she joined the show.

They're being a bit loud. Not sure why THEY NEED TO SHOUT.

I think Lindsey or Richie may be up to leave soon, 2 new presenters in two months sounds like a big revamp.

Seems like no new graphics.
With not even a passing mention to the fact that this bulletin is the end of a tradition lasting 48 years.
Hard for the viewers to care when the BBC- sadly- clearly doesnโt. Itโll be Blue Peter next.
I doubt it, Blue Peter is as popular as ever. Yes, viewer figures are dropping, but viewer intersection through applying for badges and the fan club is higher than its ever been.
Popular as ever? Letโs see how much coverage the new presenter gets compared to the hysteria we used to see in the press when it was a genuinely Big Deal
EDIT- I take it back

BP still commands more column inches than any other kids show

Richie's only been on it just over a year, so can't see him leaving just yet. However Lindsey's been on it 7 years exactly this week, so could potentially be a leaver, but judging by her instagram and tweets she still seems to be having the time of her life and can't wait to be back in the studio, so maybe not? Who knows?
It could just be simply be a way lessening the load on two presenters and different pairings will present on different weeks? I'm sure everything will be explained on Thursday!
