I have been well into The Beatles for nearly 50 years and yet I knew absolutely nothing about Ringo’s furniture design. I would do anything to own that table. I wonder where it is today ?
And Ringo celebrated his 83rd birthday a couple of months ago in Beverly Hills, where there is a giant statue of his hand, giving the "peace" gesture, in stainless steel of course... ruclips.net/video/ymgK6USyXMw/видео.htmlsi=PXal4g5u-jNG7xc9
Would love to see the whole programme - my father in law was on it too. He was on because the RAF Falcons' mascot, a falcon called Fred, had been found.
I remember that showing watching it in 1971, I never forgot the part where he said that he called Rolls Royce for some grills and Rolls Royce requested the chassis number
Ringo, you are so talented. You're a great drummer... well, you're a drummer, and now you design amazing furniture. But why have you never heard of shampoo?
If you ever see modern Blue Peter it's so condescending and the presenters talk to the camera like they are speaking to a 3-year-old. Miss these days when they would talk to you like they were having a normal conversation with you
My dad gave me one of his sets of steel shelves. Now he has dementia and can't remember how to build it back as I've taken it to my house. Anyone got any advice??
It's all very well if you live in a mansion, but how are you meant to haul these steel furniture contraptions up a flight of stairs? You know, It don't come easy!
One suspects that Blue Peter’s producer just wanted the kudos of having a (former) Beatle on the show considering the educational value of showcasing Ringo’s overpriced furniture is negligible at best!
Bonkers. A Beatle on Blue Peter with a crazy piece of utterly Zapple’esque furniture. The 70s were the best.
Next week, George Harrison in the Blue Peter garden, showing how to grow your own drugs😂
Another thing I never knew about Ringo.
I have been well into The Beatles for nearly 50 years and yet I knew absolutely nothing about Ringo’s furniture design.

It's probably been sold to a private collector by now.
Amazing to think that this is over 50 years old.
Amazing to think it was probably £1000 back then
..and just shortly after The Beatles disbanded.

This might have been one of the last times we actually saw Ringo's beautiful eyes 🤣. The quality of this video is fabulous.
Valerie Singleton's diction could cut glass it is so precise!
Better than the late Queen.
Not like the lazy way Beeb presenters speak today !
In comparison to today's presenters. It was quite normal back then.
Nice stash box Ringo...
😜
Remarkable show. Ringo looking so handsome and young. And talking furniture? I never had the clue. Well done!
Good to see the influence of Ringo's pre Beatles metalworking experience!
Never knew 1970s Blue Peter was so cool.
Shep before he got his name ❤
He'll always be Steel to me.
Would love to see the whole programme - my father in law was on it too. He was on because the RAF Falcons' mascot, a falcon called Fred, had been found.
0:58 Now Ringo, what kind of things would you store in a box like this?
All the money I've saved with this tax dodge.
Joseph just phoned in and wants his coat back.

Well done for not calling it the radiator
This is the best comment I’ve seen in a long time 😂
Could you imagine Ringo presenting Blue Peter with Keith Moon and Oliver Reed 😂
It would soon be Blue Peter, if they presented it😂
Live TV with those three icons as presenters, one can only imagine the hilarity.
"and now children,..the grownups have to drink their special medicine...."
that would of been insane 🤣😂
Ringo is so nice.
Imagine watching this and thinking "Oi Ringo Starr stole my rolls Royce radiator 😂😂
Did they have chassis numbers still on them?
Not sure which is odder, Blue Peter covering furniture design, or this being presented as a practical piece of furniture
I thought the BBC didn't advertise.. lol.
It nearly became one of those columns on the platform of Euston station.
That's actually really cool
4:15 watch Ringos eyes 😂
Love the little stash box.
👊🤨 well done Ringo - organized genius
Mercury, MORE MERCURY!! - Ringo
"Yeah it's full of mercury" as if that's the most normal thing in the world lol. Gotta love the 70s.
Thermometers everywhere were full of it too and of course Freddie Mercury just started Queen the year before.
@@kevfit4333 They are, but the amount in that item was quite significant. You wouldn't want it leaking out.
A popular toy at the time was the ‘Mercury Maze’.
@@AtheistOrphanstill have one somewhere
People weren't afraid of everything back then like they are now. That was a good time to be living in.
Brilliant, just show these on BBC 1 at tea time instead of Pointless 👍
I bet John must of watched the first Thomas the Tank Engine and said “I met him when he was on Blue Peter in 1971!”
That woman could not be more of a 70's babe.....
I bet all that metal furniture is still around today, except for that big electric powered perspex ball maze!
Because life is not about tangible possessions maaan
✌️☮️
The best era of Blue Peter (Fact!)
Finally a 1970s sober Ringo
He was so drunk everytime
Ringo doesn't look much older 52 years later.
John and Ringo, 6 hours in the pub later.
Ringo, you are so talented. You're a great drummer... well, you're a drummer, and now you design amazing furniture. But why have you never heard of shampoo?
Ringo hasn't aged a single bit since 1971.
Ringo is only 31 years old here and the Beatles were finished by then.
ATOUK!! 🦖
valerie was such a baddie 😮💨

Give Ringo a buzz.
Get a look at that coat!
The man who sold the Rolls Royce grills to Ringo sounds a bit dodgy! There were probably 2 very pissed off Rolls Royce owners somewhere!
Probably from one of Keith Moons old cars 😂
Before he was famous I’m pretty sure that Ringo was a steam engine.
An e2?
I like British kids orientation shows like this the other being world of tomorrow or tomorrow in the 80s a new technology show.
Cheeeeezy😂
It's all very well if you live in a mansion, but how are you meant to haul these steel furniture contraptions up a flight of stairs?
You know,
It don't come easy!
Then you have Keith Moon around and they all end up in the swimming pool.
Very good Jason.
Easy, in them days you called Eric Sykes & Tommy Cooper 👍
Who is the beautiful lady host
Valerie Singleton

Ringo wasted 13 years on this bunk before hitting the big time with Thomas the Tank engine.
Wonder what happened to all the naff 'furniture' 😂😂😂
Don't give up the day job Ringo ....
At this time was Peter doing Valerie?!
Don't do drugs, kids!
Why not? Because you might become a famous rockstar/furniture designer??
Awkward. 🤣
Stainless Steel is for factories not homes.
It looks soulless like the dark blocky ‘brutalist’ communist architecture. Pain to the eyes.
and commercial kitchens....
@@dean6816 True but I class them as industrial food preparation.
Love Ringo but this stuff is really nothing
Ringo so out of touch with reality . . . its sad looking back now . . . more money than brain cells at that stage.
That is he is the BORING ONE.. stick Thomas the tank engine 😮😮
Silence fool.
Ooooh look at the big man trying to make a name for himself by picking on Ringo Starr. Jog on mate.
Paul and John were the pair o'wankers, George and Ringo were the ones with all the talent.
