Warped cult nostalgia from character comic and Blue Peter badge winner Tom Burgess.

Join retired children’s TV pioneer Peter Fleming as he re-traces his steps across Britain to get home, and recover precious lost copies of his legendary BBC programmes. With a lifetime of memories and an almost 40% accurate map, he’s determined to find his way back.

Will Peter find his work? What awaits him in the ruins of BBC Television Centre? Which Blue Peter presenters has he wronged? Which ones have wronged him (clue: not as many)?

All these questions, or maybe fewer, will be answered in this first draft of the show critics are already largely ignoring.

As seen on BBC Two and heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra.
