Christopher Trace was on with Val too at first.

I do know Shep's name but I wrote "sheepdog" because there were two of them. The first was Patch. "Like other presenters he was expected to have an animal and, in 1966, Patch arrived in the studio, the son of Petra, another Blue Peter dog. Patch died suddenly at the age of five and Noakes broke down in tears when he went on set to give his young audience the sad news."
