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

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.

A couple of those girls are wearing Belch’s shirts.

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.

Even more bragging by @sadoldgit . Unfortunately, it looks like this is misplaced as the A stream is obviously the best and the X seems to suggest some extra “intervention” was required.

I’m struggling to recognise you @lifeintheslowlane . Which one are you?

Me and Grayson were considered X-treme at Glenfield.

I’m in with the girls Fats…surely you can see me and my little dickie. Little dickies were all the rage around that time. :lou_is_a_flirt:

Ah yes, I see you. Why is the boy behind you and one to the right in the back row? He’s clearly too small to be there. Was he a trouble maker? Is that Peter Duncan’s cousin?

Ah yeah the little runt was there to make up the numbers as Peter Duncan cried off at the last minute…something about being too young to stand up.

The runt was later eaten by some of the bigger lads in a William Golding re-enactment.

That must have been taken with one of these…

Try as hard as I might, I can’t tell which one has got a little dickie.

Statistically speaking:

11 of those children will have turned out gay.

1.3 of them will have stolen property.

0.7 of them will have served time in prison.

0.02 of them will have killed someone.

and one of them will be a complete cunt that drives a Beetle.

Ahh, yes, Kenny.

I meant to thank you for the welcome to the stadium during the Arsenal match, adorned as I was in a stunning cotton botanical Boden…

Alright, Beltch*, like your shirt!!!

If I wasn’t such an exhibitionist, I might have struggled to take my seat amongst the wolf-whistles and cat-calls.
