The only item of note I remember from Blue Peter was the machine used to make a langæg which was hailed as an early form of European/Japanese cooperation in engineering – indeed the item may have been repeated in more “adult” form on Tomorrows World.
I vaguely remember that Stephen Hawking heard a 90s trip hop producer was making a parody track with his voice and got in touch with them to make sure they used the right sound (I’m sure its from a 1980s era Texas Instruments chip used in many devices)
