feeling listless

tv I Love Blue Peter ... yet another great BBCi site. And considering it's for a kids show, it doesn't run away from cover the stories they'd like to forget. This from the late Michael Sundin biog:

"Three months after he left the programme a video emerged showing him dancing in his underwear in a London nightclub. The tabloids were soon reporting various details about his lifestyle. Michael Sundin died at the tragically young age of 28 of an AIDS-related illness."

But it does burst one of my great assumptions about the Ellis Clan:

"Janet left Blue Peter to have her second child. Rumour has it that she was sacked because she wasn't married to the father, but in actual fact it was Janet's decision to leave. The resulting bairn in question also wasn't Sophie Ellis Bextor."

Although I hear that in five's The Curse of Blue Peter on Monday night she gives a slightly different version. Richard Bacon's name sits unlinked just before the current encumbants. I wonder how that all will be covered. I'm off to make an Advent Crown ...
