  • Full episode of Blue Peter from March 1981.
    Peter Duncan cycles over the London marathon route.
    Sarah Greene interviews Clare Francis to promote a new series about sailing.
    Pupils from a primary school in Hertfordshire help Simon Groome bury a time capsule under a multi-storey car park ramp.
    Peter Duncan would fail to complete the marathon. Clare Francis would give up sailing to become a successful novelist. The carpark was torn down and the time capsule was apparently reburied, but no further interest in it was ever shown by the programme's makers.

    Wow how fascinating the children who buried it must be absolutely overwhelmed at seeing what has become of it . Watched it on this morning with Sarah Green how nostalgic I hope the children have seen it

      Being one of those children I'm not entirely overwhelmed that my hard work turned into a muddy brick, I think I may just cope. If it had been stuck at the back of a cupboard at school it would have had a much better chance of survival!

      To be fair, the new capsule that’s been buried today doesn’t look much better than the original one! There’ll be absolutely nothing left of the 1981 contents once that’s uncovered.

      @@AyliCarper complete waste of time wasn’t it really lol we can just look at this and see what was in it. They should have showed us more in this bit of film, then we’d know what there was. The same thing will happen to the stuff they’ve put in there now.

      They really should've had a box that went inside the box and vacuum sealed all the items too that went into the new time capsule. A few were in plastic bags and glass jars but the majority were just dumped in unprotected. The contents are going to be another disappointing, muddy, corroded mess in 40 odd years time went it is opened again.
      For those that missed it, it's on the This Morning RUclips channel.

      @@djdrwatson yeah, you’d think they’d have learnt from their mistakes wouldn’t you? Would have been better to put everything in kilner jars inside the box, and vacuumed sealed as well like you said, as the rubber seals on the kilner jars would erode as well over a few years. Might still come out a corroded mess, but at least take some extra measures. I definitely won’t be around to see them dig that one up anyway 😆

    Now we have opened the time capsule in 2022, it would be amazing to see if the power of the internet could find all these children and let them see the few bits of rescued, nearly half a century old memories 🥰

      It might have helped if they'd even bothered to contact the school before broadcast. The school knew I was on it and both my children went there.

    Watched the This Morning clip earlier today, so sad to see the remains of things. Pleased I found this to be able to see what they buried.
    I didn’t even realise Sarah Green presented Blue Peter until today, I only rember her from Going Live with Philip, Trevor and Simon. I was only 4/ 5 in 81.

    Where was the time capsule reburied? Is it still there in the new place?

    • @AyliCarper
      @AyliCarper  6 лет назад +1

      I only 'know' it was reburied because later in the eighties a school friend had watched Blue Peter and reported that it had been. (Late eighties - I'm sure I saw them rebury the 1971 capsule in the garden in 1984.)
      All I can say is that one of the first emails I ever sent (in 1999) was to Blue Peter asking them about it, to which I did not receive a reply. This particular time capsule hasn't been mentioned again.
      I'm not bitter. It's a box of nonsense underneath a car park ramp.
