1980: PETER DUNCAN cleaning Big Ben is NERVE-WRACKING | Blue Peter | Classic BBC clips | BBC Archive

Peter Duncan visits Big Ben, where - in the spirit of his Blue Peter predecessor John Noakes - he joins a team of steeplejacks in a hair-raising mission to clean the famous monument's clock face. This is another terrifying watch, not one for the faint-hearted! Originally broadcast 25 September, 1980. Blue Peter is still going strong, with new editions of the show broadcast live on CBBC and BBC iPlayer every Friday at 5pm: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...
