Blue Peter

Ship's sailing signal

Blue Peter is a British children's television programme that has aired on the BBC since 1958, making it one of the longest-running shows of its kind.

The name comes from a nautical flag—a blue rectangle with a white square—hoisted when a ship is about to depart.

The show is known for craft projects, charitable appeals, and awarding badges to young viewers.
