: Blue Peter
with Christopher Trace and Valerie Singleton.At 5.5
With Christmas only two weeks away the Blue Peter team, under producer Biddy Baxter, are already immersed in the preparation of the special seasonal shows, and in tonight's edition of the programme Christopher Trace and Valerie Singleton will be introducing some items with a seasonal flavour. They will, for instance, be telling you the story of the Christmas tree, which immediately conjures up pictures of firs dotted about snow-clad slopes-just the kind of country, incidentally, which means home to a group of performers who are appearing in today's Blue Peter.
They are The Gay Tyrolese, a world-famous troupe of dancers and singers under the direction of Toni Praxmair, from Kitzbuhel in Austria. The troupe have recently been visiting this country, and they will be in the studio to perform a number of their traditional dances. These will include the 'Woodcutters' Dance', with mime and comedy, and a 'Miners' Dance' using cow-bells. But the most interesting dance should be the 'Schuhplattler', with the dancers slapping each other vigorously on their leather shorts.
In another seasonal item - the first in a short series - Gordon Murray will be showing you how to make bottle puppets in preparation for your own Christmas show. Next week he will show you how to make the scenery.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
