Blue Peter

CBBC's offices will be in Bridge House. CBBC's links will come from Media City studios.

Here's the new Blue Peter rooftop garden in Salford taking shape.

Not quite sure how they are going to bury the pets though!

Or plant a Tree for the year 2100....

or do anything that involves digging deeper than a foot, unless they want to pop in on NWT...

Good news though, that young Les Ferdinand will not be able to help any of his yob mates up onto that garden.

I don't think the Italian 'sunken' pond will be particularly sunken!

I don't know why they're bothering. It's clearly a gesture towards the garden for those upset about losing the one on London - but it's hardly going to be the same. There won't be any real planting features or stuff like the pond, and there won't be the space to do stuff like the huge outdoor shows of the past.

I hate to say it but I do agree with you! I think its going to me more of a tribute, and a homage - just to satisfy the nostalgics amongst us.

with all these new studios with window views they best make sure none of them overlook the corry set

Some might say that is the entire reason Blue Peter is still being made at all.....

I'm inclined to think that there will only be 2 presenters in September? On Joel's last show, and on Zoe and Gethin's, the new presenters were mentioned. On Barney Harwood's blog he mentions that he is excited at moving to Salford with Helen - no other mention of a third presenter.
Does this sound a realistic thought? I think it makes a lot of sense nowadays.
There was also no mention of a Summer Expedition either

They didn't mention the expedition last year and still went on one, though.
