To celebrate the publication of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Blue Peter has launched a nationwide competition for 25 children to win a trip to see the Blue Peter Studios and guest, JK Rowling.
To enter the competition, children need to write down a question they would like to ask JK Rowling. On the opposite side of their A4 piece of paper, they then need to draw a portrait of themselves, as a witch or a wizard.
For more details, visit bbc.co.uk/cbbc and click on Blue Peter, but hurry, the closing date is Friday 15 June.
Editor, Richard Marson, says: “We have always been great supporter of JK Rowling, so we are delighted she has decided to appear on our Blue Peter special, which will be shown on 20 July.”
Children’s TV programme, The Teletubbies may be banned from television in Poland after a government watchdog was told that it promoted homosexuality.
Apparently the fact that the purple teletubby, Tinky Winky, carries a handbag is enough to see the show banned. State-controlled public TV said the government’s Children’s Rights Spokesman believes the BBC show is “gay propaganda”.
I know the show is weird, and I am no big fan or anything….but gay propoganda….isn’t that a bit too strong!

Reports suggest that BBC is planning to axe one episode of childrens TV show, Blue Peter per week and also to reduce the length of each series.
A BBC source told The Daily Mirror:
“They have been told to squeeze the budgets and have decided that the best way to do this is to have two shows a week rather than three,”
“There are also plans to cut the length of each series. It’s very sad to diminish it in this way.”
A corporation spokesman said no decision had yet been made. “CBBC’s long-running formats are looked at regularly to check they are still working,” he added. “Editors change, presenters change and sometimes the show changes.”
