RIP #BiddyBaxter 😢. Biddy was a @durham-university.bsky.social graduate and edited #BluePeter for more than 20 years. Apparently she was the first Durham graduate to work for the BBC.

An #Otwituary for #BluePeter matriarch #BiddyBaxter
Here is a man who was made earlier,
from vicarious experience. See him
as a boy, landlocked and ordinary,
