BBC film producer for Blue Peter Alex Leger will talk about the four decades of Blue Peter and their ’Appeals’ at Lamerton Village Hall on Saturday, September 20.

There will then be a refreshment break followed by a talk about Blue Peter’s involvement with the military.  

Mr Leger is the author of the book ’Blue Peter: Behind The Badge’, which covers 36 years during which he was often responsible for the show’s most iconic reports from around the world.

Alex served as an Army officer before moving into television.

Having started off working with Blue Peter legends John Noakes, Peter Purves and Lesley Judd, he subsequently worked with every one of the 30 or so presenters who followed them until his retirement last year.

West Devon and Torridge MP Geoffrey Cox has offered a pledge for a tour of Westminster which will be auctioned during the coffee break.

The event is supporting the mental health charity ’Make a Difference’ in Tavistock.
