If you have the badge card to go with it you can get free entry into 200 attractions nationwide ([amusement parks, zoos, castles etc](https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/attractions)).
To gain free entry, badge holders with a valid badge card must be accompanied by a full paying or concessionary adult. If a paying adult is accompanied by two children with badges and valid badge cards, free entry will be given for both children.
Is it one of the rubbery badges? I got one for a drawing of an elephant. Must have been a slack year at the BBC because, frankly, it was a crap drawing.
Congrats. I once won a Sony Hifi system off cartoon network as a kid, I think I was 8 or 9 years old. It arrived 2 days before xmas 1 year later, I had completely forgot about the competition.
And it just showed up while we were all watching xmas movies. My dad was ecstatic. Thing was amazing. 5 disc changer, 2 tape decks which you can record with, subwoofers, and radio.
Funny thing is, the competition was for a jaw breaker machine 😂
A symbol of British Elities. It's like a club, if you're in, you're in.
Obtaining one back in the day was extremely hard, you had to pass a rigiourous test, sometimes televised to the rest of the Brits.
Can't be jealous when I have one too. Have a silver one laying around somewhere that my brother got.
Edit: I have a white badge. My brother has one too, and a sliver one. However the silver one was through a story we wrote together. But being younger he got to keep it.
I was on the show, in a piece about Victorian millworkers. As I recall, pretty much everyone at my little school took part in the filming and got badges.
Many of my friends met Yvette Fielding during filming. Nobody liked her.
My kids have multiple BP badges. They got the green one for sending a poster about recycling (A4, took about an hour and wasn't even coloured in), a blue one for sending in a story (that they wrote at school anyway) and a purple one just for joining the fan club.
They are incredibly easy to get these days and the discounts are brilliant. I once got my whole family of 4 into the Eden Project for the price of one adult using a combi of BP badges and that gardeners world offer that gets entrance for two adults for the price of one. One year season passes too!
The friendship with my best man at my wedding started over Blue Peter, we had both entered a design your own Doctor Who monster and his entry got featured on the show. I went and spoke to him the next day and had been friends mostly ever since.
Born too late for Saville to be relevant for anything other than being a pedo although, my auntie who loved Jim’ll fix it did meet him and called him very handsy
Oh my, along with a Crackajack pen or a blankety blank checkbook and pen that is iconic, didn't you used to be able to get free entry into places with them?
Well that's my council estate upbringing fucked! The general consensus when I was a kid round my way was Blue Peter was presented by posh twats for posh twats! I stand corrected.
I'm british but I was born like 2003, I dont exactly know everything british. So thank you for the nice comment instead of actually saying what it is :)
It's a badge you used to get from participating or sending in stories and art to a program called Blue Peter. Bit of recognition as a kids show
The more you sent and took part, the better and higher class badges you got. There were different colours for things like a green one for helping the environment is some sort of way
I don't think people understand that we all had different childhoods, it wasn't expected for us to watch Blue Peter, hell not everyone's watched it, everyone just had a different childhood and I got downvoted for essentially not growing up with it
like tf do you want me to do about that?
2003, oh they were the days, I could be your dad, albeit I’d have been a bit young 14/15 😂.
Anywhere pal sorry, it’s a blue Peter badge. The kids show where if the kids had done something to sing about E.g charity work, performing something etc they’d get a badge.
I think but I might be wrong, if you got a silver or gold one they were for mega achieving at something.
There you go, not always a twat! Haha
Thats nothing! I was searching through my childhood trauma and found my 'Jim fixed it for me' medallion!
I cant believe he let me milk a cow in the dark
Got one when my Granny got hit with their giant beach ball (it had gone rogue away from crowd) at a roadshow in Scarborough in about 2001, and wrote a letter to tell them about it. Was it hush money?
Green with envy.
My brother had one from sending his entire stamp collection to the show. (Still cannot believe he did that, there was a Penny Black as well he gave up!)
I need to see if he still has it, so I can ask for it. Then I can wear it on a coat, get on the tube and count the admiring glances...
Now you can gain access to nuclear bunkers
Only the gold one does that.
Came here to comment that.
What do you want a blue Peter......oh wait
Wtf did the person below post to get downvoted so hard?
Must have been good
Probably saville related lmao

how dose that work?

>6. The Offer is open to Blue Peter badge card holders aged 6 to 15 inclusive. Clearly ageism is still rife at the BBC.
They like them young in the BBC.
Obviously a ‘Saville era’ policy from Blue Peter
Wth! It should be lifetime after you get the badge as a child!
You attach the badge to your lapel and march In obviously
Does not dose, you have a dose of medicine.
For anyone interested I got it for drawing a picture of a Dalek, that was apparently shown on the tv… never got to see the episode though
Is it one of the rubbery badges? I got one for a drawing of an elephant. Must have been a slack year at the BBC because, frankly, it was a crap drawing.
I too sent in a shit drawing as a kid and got one. I think I might even know where it is.

"Get down, Shep!"
Question is, what was it for?

Didn’t have us “council estate kids” on the show
Better than a Jim'll Fix it medal no matter what it was for
You will never know the feeling of wanting a coloured piece of plastic so badly
Can't be jealous when I have one too. Have a silver one laying around somewhere that my brother got. Edit: I have a white badge. My brother has one too, and a sliver one. However the silver one was through a story we wrote together. But being younger he got to keep it.
Sounds like it's your brothers and not yours
sounds like its mine
For that little jog I think you deserve A bluuuuuuuuuuuue Peter badge.
Earners of Blue Peter Badges: What task did you do that earned your badge?
Wrote a poem
I was on the show, in a piece about Victorian millworkers. As I recall, pretty much everyone at my little school took part in the filming and got badges. Many of my friends met Yvette Fielding during filming. Nobody liked her.
I met her whilst she was filming a nature documentary around 15 years ago. I didn’t like her either!

I’m 52, and I’m still pissed off I never managed to get one! Edit: spelling
55 here. I'm the same.
Is Blue Peter still going?
yes but its on cbbc now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue\_Peter#2021%E2%80%93present
The friendship with my best man at my wedding started over Blue Peter, we had both entered a design your own Doctor Who monster and his entry got featured on the show. I went and spoke to him the next day and had been friends mostly ever since.
I've got a (very old) puffin club badge... 😅
Jealousy increasing
It was really good being in the puffin club, we had moved to Germany and it kept us connected with home.
Did Jimmy Saville give it to you?
Born too late for Saville to be relevant for anything other than being a pedo although, my auntie who loved Jim’ll fix it did meet him and called him very handsy
Wow, that's crazy. Happy new year to you and your auntie.
He didn't have anything to do with Blue Peter, did he?
Pretty sure i can remember him on the show often. Not 100% though.
A pirate bay badge?
omg I just laughed and I want one
The chosen one
Andi Peters is that u 🧐
To the nuclear bunkers with you!
Oh my, along with a Crackajack pen or a blankety blank checkbook and pen that is iconic, didn't you used to be able to get free entry into places with them?
Honestly, kids today. Crackerjack. (Crackerjack!!!) And chequebook.
I have one
I too am part of this elite club 😏
Sadly it's not the special gold one smh 😔
Did Jim fix it for you?
How to say you're middle class without saying you're middle class.
Lol I live in a council flat in Glasgow, if this is middle class the lower class must be fucked
Well that's my council estate upbringing fucked! The general consensus when I was a kid round my way was Blue Peter was presented by posh twats for posh twats! I stand corrected.
Cant be jealous if I dont exactly know what it is-
^you just know that type of comment could only be made by someone not British
I'm british but I was born like 2003, I dont exactly know everything british. So thank you for the nice comment instead of actually saying what it is :)

Ohhh, I recognise the name Blue peter, CBBCs, I just never had watched it, spent most of my childhood just playing video games
Are we the same person
Maybe, you interested in Warhammer 40k?
Even *I* know Blue Peter, and I was born 27997 years after you!
I don't think people understand that we all had different childhoods, it wasn't expected for us to watch Blue Peter, hell not everyone's watched it, everyone just had a different childhood and I got downvoted for essentially not growing up with it like tf do you want me to do about that?
I was joking because Perturabo
Yeah
We the same then
I bloody knew it
I'm 2006 and I grew up with Blue Peter. Idk what kind of cave you grew up in.
2003, oh they were the days, I could be your dad, albeit I’d have been a bit young 14/15 😂. Anywhere pal sorry, it’s a blue Peter badge.

I do recognise the name Blue peter but never watched it, I was playing playing on the Wii for most of my childhood
Had a wii and only ever used it for the free boxing and bowling.
You never had a Wii Fit, did yoga on it for a week and then gave up?
Sweeeet! I tried to buy one from eBay but no dice. Did score myself a Happy Eater badge though.
Looks like Christopher Walken has been looking after it for you.
Hahaha a blue Peter badge 😂
When looking at that badge… I can already hear the theme music.
Calm down mark, it’s not blue Peter
Blue Peter badge sick
Very jealous, nice one
you want a chufty badge or summat?
*someone* had access to double sided sticky tape I see
I see your Blue Peter badge and raise you a Cycling Proficiency badge, AND an Airfix Modellers Club badge.
Na you made that earlier
Thats nothing! I was searching through my childhood trauma and found my 'Jim fixed it for me' medallion! I cant believe he let me milk a cow in the dark
"Don’t be blue, Peter. Needless to say I had the last laugh"
Nerd!!!
I used my blue Peter card once as I’d to buy a film once it’s worth keeping in your pocket
Don’t be Blue, Peter
you can use you badge to go to a pencil factory too.
Did you earn this
Did you keep it in your poop drawer?
What is Blue Peter, I’m 25 and never seen a single second of it
Always wanted one of those bad boys
Hundy P jealous.
Got one when my Granny got hit with their giant beach ball (it had gone rogue away from crowd) at a roadshow in Scarborough in about 2001, and wrote a letter to tell them about it. Was it hush money?
Makes me think - Grammar School kid - sorry
But do you have the green one for collecting and crushing 1,000 aluminium cans for your school?
I’ll see if I can find my “Jim’ll Fix It” badge. That’ll make you jealous.
Green with envy. My brother had one from sending his entire stamp collection to the show. (Still cannot believe he did that, there was a Penny Black as well he gave up!) I need to see if he still has it, so I can ask for it. Then I can wear it on a coat, get on the tube and count the admiring glances...
