Biddy Baxter is a television legend, more famous than many of the stars of Blue Peter, the programme she ran for over a quarter of a century. Her extraordinary drive and obsessional dedication transformed the show into the world's longest-running and most successful children's programme with its rich mix of action, adventure, appeals, animals, exploration, studio spectaculars and things to cook and make. At a time when very few women reached the top, Biddy - powerful, stylish and uncompromising - used her power and skill to shape the hearts and minds of generations of British children. Loved by some, loathed by others - what was Biddy really like, and what did it take for her to achieve such success?
