Talk:Biddy Baxter

Sinking ship
The current The Independent source here says, very plainly: "But Peter Purves called Blue Peter her "control freak empire". He said: "This woman controlled our lives, and she didn't do it very nicely." Valerie Singleton said she acted as if they were children. John Noakes called her awful: "She was a bully who treated me like some country yokel from Yorkshire. I couldn't abide her."" Why has this all now been carefully removed?

Name
The entry at Biddy gives just:
 * 1) A diminutive of the female given name Bridget.
 * 2) A surname of Scottish origin.

So when and how did Joan Maureen get her nickname? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:16, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
