Blue Peter Time Box opened. Did not go well!!

My daughter works for Kier Construction. Yesterday, at a site at the old TV Centre in Wood Lane, they found this....



Was buried 41 years ago and I have a vague recollection of watching the programme when they did.

There was an 'opening' of the box on This Morning, er, this morning. Spoiler alert... the one thing not known back then was the process of waterproofing!

Mind you, Sarah Greene has aged very well!

Didn't they put a Jim'll Fix It badge in there? Probably just as well everything has returned to mush!

Wasn't there a Friday Night Armistice sketch where they dug it up and filled it with "adult magazines"?

They were much better in 1971, because they dug it up and opened it in 2009 and they knew all about waterproofing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH22jm-mvc0
