Blue Peter Summer Expedition
- Blue Peter Summer Expedition
The Blue Peter Summer Expedition is a yearly tradition in which the presenters of the BBC children's TV programme Blue Peter go to a foreign country and experience the culture and film special reports from that country, which are broadcast over several weeks in September and October. The first expedition was in 1965 and they have gone somewhere every year after that, apart from 1986.
The Summer Expedition is traditionally announced on the last programme of the series which is usually towards the end of June. The highlights of the expedition are often shown as a special programme the following summer.
