I actually was 8 when this programme went out and couldn't imagine being 37 or in the year 2000...then I blinked and I was! 😅....how can 2000 be 23 years ago.😢 I lived these presenters ❤
I was seven years old in 1971, so turned 36 at the start of 2000. As you say, time really does fly by! I turn sixty in just a few weeks time, yikes! 😀
The 1971 time capsule was buried two days before my first birthday, so I was still an infant! In 2000 I naturally hit the big 30 (now in my early fifties).
2050 is so far
yeah the future sucks and what did we get? Flat earthers and more wars. What an enlightened age.
These television broadcasts are time capsules themselves. Look at all those old cars!
The quality of the video tape and the presenters was far superior in 1971 than of subsequent years.
Luckily the BBC Archives did a better job of preserving the original broadcast than the time capsule did its contents.
lead-lined means radiation can't get in Val, water will find away
If only they had taken this much care with doctor who
@@Budbrothers420The Goodies as well. The curiosity is killing me as to what the original 1971 broadcast of Kitten Kong was like.
@@adelaideautowashes I find it mad how the unaired pilot of doctor who survived but most of the early show didn’t 🤣
if you watch the opening of it you’ll notice 2000 the things were wrapped altogether in a black plastic bag and taped up. also no annual or radio times or coins, also there was a christmas pudding! This one had the objects just put in the box and no christmas pudding. i wonder the real one was already in the ground and this was just for show then took it out after this show finished that day?
Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves, John Noakes. The Blue Peter holy trinity
They were an important part of my childhood. May they forever be remembered whenever baby elephants are mentioned.
They could have saved themselves a lot of hassle and just given it to Sir Patrick Moore to keep in his desk until the year 2000.
I buried my own time capsule on the same day in 1971, but dug mine up within a week or two as I wanted the coins back!
I remember watching this when it was broadcast in 1971. Nice TR5 in the background.
I watched Blue Peter in 1971, as a seven year old, and thought the year 2000 sounded so far away. Now I'm almost sixty and can see for myself just how quickly time goes by! Great memories of watching BP in the 1970s. 🥰
It's a shame they didn't use plastic boxes or vacuum bag everything. I'm sure one of the local universities could have helped.
Amazing to see this again, and the quality is superb. I remember entering a competition for Blue Peter in '71, where we had to draw a picture as to what we thought the world would look like in the new century. Myself and my two brothers sent off our entries, but we never got to see them on the programme, however, there were some excellent examples sent in by other kids, and one in particular that I remember was the human embryo coming from a tap.
John Noakes was a real hero as well as a legend..
I agree. His standalone series ‘Go With Noakes’ was excellent.
Was a few weeks from being born when the first box was buried and vaguely remember the reburial and addition in 1984, but felt a bit emotional when they were being opened, especially hearing the slight quivering in Simon's voice when mentioning Goldie...
They didn’t need to bury the box to see what they were like in 1971. They had it all on film. So all was not really lost.👍
Wow in the blink of an eye .....time passes.Great idea great episode....but happened to the tree.
Remember it like it was only yesterday. A little sad that there were as many Grandparents that watched Blue Peter than children who didn't live to see it being opened.
So basically after all that we have learned that a lead lined container does not keep out moisture. Poor old Simon not getting paid by Oldfield.
I was 6 weeks old when this programme was on tv 📺
the classic cars xx
Val, Pete and John, the classic triumvirate.
Absolutely.
Lead lined to keep water out. That worked well 🤣
keeps out all the radiation though if the cold war turns into a hot war!!
So the they buried the box with the contents not in bags in 1971 then magically in 2000 they were in bags
‘The magic of television!’
(I’m guessing the box was refilled prior to John moving it further away from the tree).
@@AtheistOrphan But clearly they said not to be opened unto 2000 LOL
@@worldVHS - You mean the BBC not being entirely honest? No waaaaay!!! 😉
Bags were a great success 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
When a shelf would have done better. The stuff of legend.
Percy was very proud that day!
I was 8 in 1971, remember this so clearly. Where did the time go?
Noakes namedropping Halifax yet again elevates him to beyond legendary status.
They really didn’t think this through did they 😂
It is wet in the soil. And it does rain. And they didn’t water seal the boxes. Mmm who could have foreseen 😅
Looks like they did a slightly better job of that with the 1971 one than the 1984 one.
If only BBC had demanded Jimmy Savile get in those capsules......
14:04 how more colorful the vision becomes in a second!
Man they was in a rush to get that box in the ground 😂
I'm surprised of the picture quality for 1971
Val really was rather scrummy.
I loved the time capsule. Really exciting as a kid.
Blimey auld Katy Hill was amazing looking too. Glad Noaksie came back for this.
Read on Wikipedia that she had a fling with Peter Purves "while he was between marriages" (hmmm....!)
@@edcaley ahh to be young, free and using sticky back plastic
I thought the point of a time capsule is that you leave in the ground till it's time to open it? They moved that more times than some people move house 😂
I remember the 1984 box being buried...
Did the BBC ever try and play those tapes that got wet or were they too far gone to get anything off of them?
We know what was on them, some stuff from 1971 that still exists in other formats, even today. There would be no reason to try to play them. They are more interesting as physical items that spent 29 years underground than what is recorded on them.
@@jeffrey44 the audio tapes though of the presenters saying "hello" though is what I think would be the most interesting (the reel to reel). That particular recording wouldn't have been anywhere else.
@@BBC600I suppose. Maybe they could put it on BBC Sounds, they always seem to be promoting that. It would bring in the hard to reach 60+ demographic who want to hear a long dead dog barking.
@@jeffrey44 I'd like to hear the long dead dog barking. I am under 60+, but I confess not by a whole lot.
@@jeffrey44 That would actually be a fun addition to the BBC Sounds section. More people may click on it than you think.
Didn’t the tree subsequently die following the replanting? (I vaguely remember hearing something like that). It doesn’t seem to be there for the digging-up of the boxes.
The box was secretly opened in 1984 and contents were wrapped in bin liners then buried in the BP garden...Has anyone else wondered why black bags were in the 2000 event......
Good point
BP are sneaky, lying con artists. A show by criminals.
For a moment there,I thought they were planting Saville.😮
I did watch the 84 episode i was 12 and thinking i hope i remember to watch it being dug up in 2000.
That tree was buried wayyyy to deep, the trunk was half under the ground 🤦♀️
Born in the sixties, and I remember watching the first one buried, not the second as by then I cared more about partying 😂🤣
"Unscrew your nuts"
Y2K Noakes to Purves, when opening the box.
Let's hope we don't get Nucked before the year 2000!!
The type of box and preparation were bad enough in 1971 but the 1984 one was a joke! They needed to be evacuated and hermetically sealed in airtight containers to have any chance of surviving.
In 1971, Blue Peter received "letters" about the recently buried Time Capsule ... 1971 Blue Peter also received an email from 2000, to say they f****d up! 🤣
Along with the state of the box, the quality of the presenters had also gone downhill by 2000
No one ever thought to add rubber sealant?
9:44 - A rare sighting of a pre-blonde Janet Ellis.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX??? Detective David Mills (1995)
Why didn’t they use a durable waterproof box as a time capsule? So stupid!
You can tell they're so disappointed.
Epyptian capsules intact after 3000 years and ours 💩 after 16 😂😂😂😂
1984 presenters
"Dont want to damage anything" 🤪 bloody hated blue peter !
They act as if the year 2000 is the year 5070. Did they really think things would change that much lol. 2023 and things aren't that much different.
Have you ever watched space 1999 or 2001: a space Odyssey? They were crazy optimistic
To young children the year 2000 did seem way off into the future, it certainly did to this seven year old boy! 😂🤣
Makes yer think dunnit
If only they did one that could travel back in time I'd volunteer to be buried in a flash!
Who dresses like that to dig and plant trees?!?
This is stupid. Why not dig up the box every bloody year and add crap to it all the way up to 1999?
Seems kinda pointless if you’re filming what you’re putting in it…it’s on the internet forever now, nobody ever needs to dig it up.
Except for when they dug it up in 2000.before the Internet really took off.they didn't forsee the Internet being a thing back then obviously.
