This bloke was a huge part of my childhood. Sleep well..... Get Down Shep.

The greatest presenter blue Peter has ever had ,

John Noakes is and always will be an absolute Legend.

As a child growing up in the 1970s Blue Peter was must viewing, especially the Christmas episodes. John Noakes was a superb presenter. I loved also watching him & Shep in his series, Go With Noakes. And when later in life I found out he was ill then passed away a little piece of my childhood went too. Sad day. Great man. 😐

John noakes was my uncle he was my mums brother

John Noakes was fearless as Peter Purvis said. I never forgot him climbing Nelsons Coloum without ropes or any safety harness. He was a brave man. I also loved to hear him laugh as he had such a hearty laugh. He loved his dog Shep. Blue Peter was one of the best TV shows ever and John was a very big part of that show. He has left us all with fond memories.

I think most children watched this when they got back home after school, but then that was in the days when we only had 3 channels to choose from.

Went to School with and worked with his son Mark, we all had a blue peter badge

John Noakes and his dog, Shep, made the perfect duo. I remember well John being unable to talk about the death of his beloved dog due to being so emotional. They were both part of my childhood and really are sorely missed. Rest in Peace John Noaks and Shep. Thanks too for making this fantastic film.

Nelsons column!! Say no more . Brilliant. 👍🇬🇧

DEBRA HERE FROM SOUTH WALES I grew up watching Blue Peter. People can tell you your age when you tell them who you grew up watching as presenters on Blue Peter. My three were John Noakes, Peter Pervis and Valerie Singleton. So yes I am in my late 50s, I can remember Petra and Shep bring introduced on to the show. Living in accomation where I could not have pets especially a dog I grew up with those two dogs and was broken hearted when each of them passed on. I was equally heartbroken when I learned of her death of John "Get Down Shep" Noakes. May he rest in eternal peace with Shep.

An absolute ledgend to people of a certain generation!!

Still to this day a mate and I fry and eat John Noakes egg breads, top scoff! God bless you John.

Now there's a name that I'd forgotten, but a real character, God bless him.

My childhood right there Blue Peter, loved John and Shep. That elephant clip I remember like yesterday and how to make an advent countdown decoration out of wire coat hangers!

Well he was great and he gave me much pleasure as a young boy, I am pleased for him he did not have to suffer the pandemic and the crazy world we live in today. He lived a good worthwhile life not a stupid one.

Happy memories of watching Blue Peter when i was a kid, R.I.P. John.

I remember two endearing phrases of his, "Get down shep" and, "For that you get your blue Peter Badge"

Aww lovely story he was indeed a sweet funny guy blue Peter was ace 🙂🥰

John Noakes was a perfect gentleman, Blue Peter was a great programme just what kids needed after school. Everyone equates the baby elephant and John weeing everywhere, so funny! Sad demise for him and his family ❤

Your favourite Uncle. Rest In Peace John. 💐

Loved Blue Peter i remember when they used to light the candles at the begining of advent Was buzzing when they sparked the last one. It was Christmas. John Noakes was amazing.

Remember seeing him on Wogan years ago, announcing the death of Shep, understandably the bloke was in tears, RIP John

Hi Allen Mr Noakes what a hero i spent with three friends many hours going round my estate collecting milk bottle tops sporks and foons stamps anything for blue peter appeals sadly im the only friend left out the four musketeers. looking forward to the next live chat best wishes.

Such a sad way to go but a beautiful way to enter the realns of heaven may you and Shep rest in everlasting peace.

That Elephant doing a dump live on TV. One of my funniest moments growing up.

It was a lovely tribute to John who I remember from Blue Peter. It was him and Shep. RIP John

Great video, i remember the elephant stepping on his foot, made me laugh. Nice to find out some of his background, clever guy. and like you said balls of steel

john noakes was the dad i never had growing up a hero to me

Top fella greàt personality and we will never forget his work on blue Peter making lots of people laugh at his antics ha. Rest in peace john was a pleasure meeting him in person last time was in Blackpool about 18 yrs ago think he liked Blackpool hehe.mark the psychic.

He was a legend.

I remember him from being the daredevil member of the Blue Peter team as well as Shep. I love that his ashes were scattered by rocket - I hope they didn't make the bag out of sticky backed plastic and a washing up bottle. RIP John Noakes.

A wonderful tribute Rest in peace John

John Noakes with Shep on Blue Peter, all evoke happy childhood memories. Thank you Alan for yet another very informative and respectful video.

Loved this one Alan. I think everyone watched Blue Peter as a child, I certainly did and loved John Noakes. You have brought back lovely childhood memories. What a sad end for a lovely man. As usual you have done him proud Alan. Thanks for your videos. I love them.

My favourite celeb you've covered so far. Loved John Noakes :)

That man was a hero of mine rest easy jjohn. Blessed be

Alan I found this video on John noakes did not realise I had not watched it and I regularly watched blue Peter and loved watching John noakes and what a tremendous presenter and what a brave man he was that was a fantastic video Alan thank you Karl

A very interesting video of a great person, I felt very sad at his end of life.

JOHN NOAKES: Thank you.

That was a very sad end to his life. I never knew anything about John, but he was my favorite presenter. I remember being sad when he left. Thanks for a very interesting and informative video. xx

God bless rip

Sad but interesting keep up the interesting work

I tell you what. Nowadays you have people such as Tom Cruise doing his own stunts and getting paid an absolute fortune for it. Yet here was John back in the 60's and 70's doing crazy things just for the entertainment of young people on a BBC TV show. (I'm sure adults watched it too. My mum did). And I bet he was paid peanuts. Of all the people who have hosted Blue Peter over the years, John stands out for me. He was the only reason I watched it when I was a kid to be honest. He had a way about him that was great viewing. And anyone who remembers him will never forget his catchphrase. "get down shep". Great video as ever. Nice one! 👍

He was a funtastic part of our childhoods. Check out the "First Mobile Phone" episode its classic..

I think we are roughly the same age (56). Like most of our generation I enjoyed watching Blue Peter. Shame there isn't anywhere to visit. I want to visit Dandy Nicoles & leslie Graham but I can't find any details on the internet.

Subbed yah can't wait to see your channel grow

Damn! We’re all getting old now, yet doesn’t seem that long ago.

Mejorka....... hilarious! Reminds me of the old Carling advert!

Awesome work keep it up

True Yorkshire Legend. I'm flying at 30,000.00 feet get down Shep .

Legend 👍🥃

Love your videos 🇦🇺

Love you Babe have a wonderful time 😘

Another great video. I’d love to know their net worth when they passed

He was the best

I live in a beautiful seaside town in the north west of Ireland called Portstewart. My claim to fame is that one beautiful afternoon when i was only about 12 i was walking my little terrier Kelly along the top promenade of our main street ( there was a bottom promenade also which ran beside but about 15 feet lower than the top one) now Kelly, although loved by my family, was a bit of a terror and hated other dogs, and as i walked him (keeping in mind those days no one really had a dog on a lead) he took off like a rocket, down the steps to the lower promenade. I could hear dogs fighting and ran over to look down. There i saw a crowd of people who had obviously been walking along when my dog decided to fight with theirs. Now Kelly was a tiny little thing and i could see that the dog he was challenging was a border collie and by this stage both dogs had separated and neither were injured, but thats when i noticed John Noakes in the middle of the crowd! My dog had fought Shep! I was as mortified as only an almost teenager could be and being a fan of Blue Peter and Go with Noakes there was no way i was going to admit it was my dog who was the rogue in the scenario so i just walked off, very red faced and pretending i didnt know whos dog had been so naughty, and left Kelly to make his own way back to me, which of course he did looking very sheepish. i told that story but i dont think anyone believed me and i suppose it really isnt my claim to fame but Kellys! Kelly is gone over 40 years now but i still smile at the thought of the day he fought the famous Shep!!

John Noakes said BP producers had never taken out insurance on his stunts! He only found out after he retired, he was livid! I remember some of these producers/directors, a more arrogant, pompous bunch you couldn't meet anywhere! RIP John!

Oh go with noakes. Id fotgotten about that too x

Loved blue Peter back then the newer presenters weren't as good didn't have the charisma wished I was still back in those dids

good Presenter

here today.. and in the middle of next week tomorrow! 🙂

GET DOWN SHEP!!!

Thought he was great you actually felt as if he was talking to you. Val and Pete were great as well.

I didnt realise he had such sad end😢

Hey mate who was holding your camera and do you live in that van ... Great bloke John

It’s the way you pronounce Majorca a wind up…..surely you don’t think that’s how it is pronounced 🤨🤔😆RIP John. I have lots of happy memories from my childhood xx

Gosh youve got a better pair of legs 🦵 than me!😂

Hi Alan we live in our motorhome in New Zealand full time,do you live in your motorhome full time, we so enjoy your presentations thank you.

John Noakes and Jack Hargreaves played a very significant part in my formative years as did Valerie Singleton for whom I had the very serious hots. What was the futuristic looking car at 4.54?

"Go with Noakes" was brill also! BBC isn't as good these days!

Where's Shep??

didn't he climb the mast at hms ganges

How old was he when he passed away?!

Give him a bluuuue peeeeter baaaadge. .😂
