Synopsis
Today, Blue Peter's new boy makes his first-ever appearance on the programme. Think you've seen him before? You probably have, if you watched the "King Cinder" series, where Peter Duncan played the dare-devil speedway fanatic Kerry. Peter's keen to get into more action in "Blue Peter", and today he has a go at navigating Keying II, a 20-metre Chinese sailing junk, up the River Thames. In the studio there's the first-ever television appearance of Britain's record-breaking litter of 17 poodle pups.
