Did anyone here go to school with Blue Peter's, Peter Duncan?

What school(s) did he go to and when.

The fact I’m asking means I didn’t go to his school or he was such a dweeb that he didn’t register in my social circle (not the cool kids or the geeks, who hadn’t been invented back then)

Born in May 1954 so sorry Fatso, unless he was a supply teacher escaping my memory, I cannot help. Good luck with your quest though.

You have an almost obsessive recollection of Peter Duncan’s school career. I’m beginning to suspect something.

Do I detect the sweet strains of ITK wafting in the breeze here?

Me too, there’s too much detail and a sense of… I want to say bragging, maybe Soggy is Peter Duncan :lou_surprised:

We went to Hawes Down Secondary School in West Wickham, Kent. I am 63 so he would be 62/63. We were both in the same class in the first year and half the second year, but I moved up to the X stream at Christmas and he stayed in the A stream until he left school. This is probably my only claim to fame (apart from having two dates with Tracey Childs from Howard’s Way) so I am milking it for all I can !!!

Having grown up in Bishopstoke and attended schools there and in Eastleigh, I’m afraid that I wasn’t at school with Peter Duncan of Blue Peter fame. In fact, I don’t remember him from Blue Peter either. Nonetheless, I’d love to hear any anecdotes that other forum members have from their school days with Peter Duncan, of Blue Peter (and Flash Gordon, though I don’t remember him from that either) fame.

Come on now everybody, share your memories!

Oh, I forgot. I can drop another name. I used to go to school and play football with Les Berry - Charlton centre half from the 70s!

While I’m at it, I also went out for a meal with film director Paul Verhoeven, his girlfriend and my cousin, who was her friend. Turns out he was actually a Paul Verhoeven impersonator and he was arrested and jailed for fraud!!

Now now Soggy, let’s keep this thread on track. Start your own thread on ‘going for a meal with people who aren’t famous’ if you must. I’m sure everyone on this forum would have many stories along those lines :lou_wink_2:

Piss poor attempt to get onto the name drop band wagon there Soggy.

More on Peter Duncan please

Although I am just a few years too senior to have gone to school with Peter Duncan, I would like to think if he were a few years older and spent his early years at Glenfield Infants School we would have been best buddies.

I was smart, sociable and a bit of a hit with everybody, especially with the girls as you can see from the picture. I’m sure we would have shuffled up to make room for him.

My mother made me wear them…she always wanted a girl.

Me and Grayson Perry…to my right…were a product of our mother’s wish for more help in the home. :lou_is_a_flirt:

I was in the same class as a boy called Peter and there was a Duncan in the year above us… if that counts

It doesn’t count, @steveintheforest

i went to school with Duncan out of Blue, which is better than yours but still doesn’t count.
