    Seriously, did anyone ever actually have a bottle of washing up liquid when they tuned into Blue Peter? They'd ask for lots of stuff that was used, but by the time you could get them, the video was probably taped over a couple of hundred times!

    At least washing up liquid bottle was in some way achievable. Have you ever tried to actually buy Sticky-back plastic in pre-google days? Nightmare!

    My mam used to empty her washing up liquid into a cup to give me the bottle if I wanted to make something off Blue Peter :cool:

    Hee hee! Blue Peter were always using washing up bottles!

    My mum recently told me that I would ask her every single day was she finished with the fairy liquid! That bottle lasted for months. Oh and it was the perfect shape for 50s style rockets - can't use washing up bottles nowadays :(

    Some empty matchboxes, a few thumb-tacks, glue/paste... and voila! A (albeit very small) chest of drawers for Barbie/Sindy.

    OMG. There was a 2/3 parter on Blue Peter to make a clothes shop for Sindy in the 1980s. It was brilliant. You used a matchbox and something else to make a cash register!
