I was going to do a post about famous Peters (Saint Peter, Peter the Great, Peter O’Toole, Pete Best (the fifth Beatle)) when my Googling stumbled upon Blue Peter. Blue Peter is a childrens show that has been broadcasting in the UK since October 1958 (yes, longer than Dr. Who).

And don't forget Pete Fountain, MY mother's favorite jazz clarinetist.

And Peter Postlethwaite, one of Peter's Dad's favorite actors. At least he used to be. . . .
