Chris and Leila - I remember them well. No idea what links them both to the third.

Rubecula

third one the young girl had a fling with Trace, led to his sacking and divorce which put paid to his tv career and he left bbc to be replaced y Peter Purvis Leila had already been replaced by Val Singleton. and John Noakes was already doing the stuff that Trace was hired to do (but didnt want to)

So, what's the connection between the three of them? Or am I missing something?

Rubecula

Blue Peter basically srameen (or Christopher Trace himself is the one that links the two ladies if you prefer.)
