| SEVENTH BOOK Published 1970 BP Team: Val Singleton, John Noakes, Peter Purves Cover: Having previously got the graphics right, the design takes a huge step back for this trendy and crudely-70s effort. The crew try out a gyrocopter, or rather Pete and Val stand back and laugh as they prepare to send game daredevil Noakesy to his certain doom. Features: Noakes is made up to look like Henry VIII by the BBC Make Up department... a lesson in calligraphy by the Queen's scribe... John and Pete go mountain climbing; "It was my turn to feel terrified now. I don't mind heights as long as I'm in control, but there I was, strapped to a stretcher, dangling on the end of a pair of ropes, completely helpless."... John joins the BBC News team to cover a bank raid story, roping in newsreader Richard Baker along the way... also he covers Crufts as a photographer and reporter Makes: A box farm. As you may guess, a farmhouse cottage made out of shoe boxes and liberally decorated with Britain's farm figurines. A Christmas door decoration made from a polystyrene ceiling tile, tinsel, holly and 'a cake doyley'. Funny, I always thought it was spelt 'doily'? Explorer's Kit. Arctic accessories to make for "your soldier doll". That'll be Action Man then? Action Man from Palitoy? Historical Figure's Life
Story in Pictures: Henri Dunant, founder of The Red Cross.
Also biogs of Charles Dickens ('A Very Queer Small Boy') and the
world's fattest ever man. |
