Blue Peter, the world’s longest running children’s TV show, broadcasts on the CBBC channel and is approaching both its 5000th episode and its 60th birthday.
The film on blind cricket was made at Yorkshire County Cricket Club’s Headingley ground on 20th September during a county championship match between Yorkshire and Warwickshire, and included footage shot in the indoor school and on the pitch in front of the viewing public during the county championship match’s lunch break.
Blue Peter presenter Lindsey Russell tried out blind cricket with help from BCEW Development Director John Garbett, VI cricketers Amanda Large, Jerri Mather, Liam Bradley, Martin Wilson and Shah Miah, as well as umpire Chris Parkes.
