Od that they're probably sitting in one of the studios used for Blue Peter, and Anthea Turner back on GMTV... kind of

Almost certainly, BP used every general studio at one time or another. Even TV Theatre a few times!

In fact wasn't BP pretty much permanently in TC2 (Lorraine's studio) during the last few years before moving to Salford?

Yes - I think the 'small studio' Blue Peter era at TV Centre was mainly in TC2.

I think in the earlier 'big studio' era - where the studio set was flexible and staged specifically for every show (as it was usually set each week from a modular kit of parts) - that TC4 was a popular home for the show, but all of the medium sized studios ( 3,4,6 and 8 ) could have been used, along sometimes with TC1.

A bit like Top Of The Pops- as we saw when BBC4 used to have their tweetalongs and posted scans from the PasC/PasB logs you could see it moved between studios 3, 4, 6 and 8 from week to week.

I always think of it as being in TC4 during 'my' era.

I remember seeing that dreadful small set knocking around TVC for what seemed like years after they moved to Salford.

Looks like the older fans and parents of the kids who watch this are in for a treat seeing these old faces again.
I remember quite a few of the more recent presenters from the 00s (Konnie, Andy, Barney, Helen etc)
I also remember seeing Barney on some other CBBC stuff back in the day before he arrived on BP

CBeebies are showing an episode of ‘My Story’ with Janet Ellis talking to her grandson about her time on Blue Peter.
