Blue Peter admits to using actors Blue Peter was fined by Ofcom earlier this year Blue Peter has admitted two "viewers" chosen to meet Dead Ringers star Jon Culshaw were actually child actors. Viewers were asked to submit questions to the comedian, but two of the six children picked were supplied by a local drama group.
"It would have been preferable not to have given... the impression that all children had contacted the programme through the website," the BBC said.
The incident, which has only just come to light, happened in September 2005.
The BBC said that none of the children had been paid, the item was not a competition, and that no prizes were offered or awarded.
Cat name
"In recent months we've taken a number of measures to ensure we get these things completely right, including the introduction of special training, so that viewers can continue to have complete confidence in the programme," the BBC statement continued.
The episode follows two recent incidents which Blue Peter admitted had mislead viewers.
The hosts of Blue Peter apologised to viewers on air in September about the rigging of a poll to name the show's cat.
The cat was named Socks after the results of an online poll were changed. Viewers of the BBC One show had wanted to call the cat Cookie.
In November 2006, a child visiting the Blue Peter studio was asked to pose as a competition caller, and won a prize.
The programme was fined £50,000 by media watchdog Ofcom over the incident.

It's not been the same since John Noakes left.

I'm waiting for them to admit that the voting is fixed on Strictly Come Dancing. At least that'd explain how Kenny Logan and Kate Garraway are still in the damn thing :ponder:

Hold on just a minute, matey boy.

I hate Spike. He ruined Buffy. And his accent was nearly as bad as Dick Van Dyke's. They should've killed him off at the end of season 2. Angel-wannabe :ph43r:

Spike's accent wasn't too bad, except the letter "a" let him down.
It was very much a tomaytoe tomarto thing - we say charnce and he said chans, albeit in an English accent (which was based on Tony Head's usual accent, by the way).
Dick van Dyke is a god, and you will also have me to answer to if you 'as a go at 'is aksent.
willowroolz - November 9, 2007 04:33 PM (GMT)
To be fair, both their accents are better than your spelling :p :lol:

Highly contentious.
We say "bath" not "barth" so there. :p
It all depends how much time Spike spent in Yorkshire. sk

I agree but I would qualify that statement by saying he ruined S6 and S7. sk
