1965: When MOTORWAYS didn't have TRAFFIC JAMS | Blue Peter | Retro Transport | BBC Archive

There aren't many children's programmes which would make a film about a motorway and the workings of a multi-storey carpark, but Blue Peter did just that in 1965. Presenter Christopher Trace took a quick drive to London Heathrow Airport on a newly opened section of the M4 motorway where, at that time, you could drive "as fast as you like".

Clip taken from Blue Peter, originally broadcast on BBC One, Monday 14 June, 1965.
