watching this and suddenly get such a sense of 'déjà vu' -
he was my favourite Blue Peter presenter when the girls were little - ahhhh what was his name. Was it Derek?

So nice to see him again...

Isn't he Derek Guyler (sp).

Derek Griffiths. Didn't he present Playschool, not Blue Peter?

That's right. I don't think he was a Blue Peter presenter.

Derk Guyler died in 1999...

Never seen nor heard of him in my life. I enjoyed Silent Witness this evening- very watchable- for me anyway.

Yes, that's the one, and yes Playschool - we all loved him- and never seen him again.

Derek Guyler was Norman Potter in Please Sir.

10 minutes or so before he was shot, I said to DH, he's going to get shot.

Remember Derek Griffiths well. DH and I always enjoy this program.
Yes, pollyparrot as soon as he turned up at the farm the out come was predictable.
Interesting twist towards the end tonight.
