All of us are touched by the first children’s programmes we loved. They shaped our viewing and, unlike shows for adults, they are indelible, remaining in the memory forever. The best of them have enabled succeeding generations to create, to think, and increasingly to participate. So

we are lucky that in Britain the children’s production community is so consistently innovative.

On the basis of tonight’s nominations, children’s entertainment is in very good health, with many of the programmes and performances being highly popular with young audiences, too.

Young people have an inherent appreciation of excellence, and what constitutes quality entertainment. They will be inspired by your creativity and consider a career in our industries – your work is an inspiration, and serves as an example of what can be achieved with a creative vision, dedication and hard work.

Tonight we present the Special Award to one of the most loved and respected figures in our industry: the wonderful Biddy Baxter MBE. Biddy receives the Award for her outstanding creative contribution to children’s television in the 50th year since the introduction of her iconic Blue Peter badge. To her great tribute, much of the Blue Peter she devised back then as the programme’s editor remains the same today.

Welcometo the British Academy Children’s Awards, BAFTA’s celebration of the very best in children’s film, television and games, and of the incredibly talented people behind them.

My sincere thanks to Harvey Elliott, Chairman of BAFTA’s Children’s Committee, to the expert jury members who gave so much of their time to arrive at this evening’s winners, and to our citation readers who will announce them. Thank you to the BAFTA team, including Siobhan Pridgeon and Clare Brown, who’ve helped deliver tonight’s event. Finally, a very warm welcome to our new host, Jake Humphrey.

BAFTA’s work is as much about supporting and nurturing new talent as it is rewarding excellence. Earlier this week, BAFTA launched Give Something Back, an industry campaign that asks you to give your time, offer a summer work placement at your company or make a donation to help BAFTA nurture and support young people – your audiences of today, and the stars of tomorrow. Via Give Something Back, consider contributing your time and expertise to a BAFTA learning event or making a small financial donation to fund our activity. The UK is home to some of the most experienced and talented practitioners in children’s entertainment and your involvement will help safeguard the industry’s future. Visit bafta.org for more information.

Have a wonderful evening.

John Willis Chairman of the Academy

With its signature hornpipe theme tune and sailing ship motif, Blue Peter remains one of the most iconic children’s programmes ever produced in the UK. In fact, with a broadcast history that has lasted more than 50 years (making it the world’s longest running children’s series), it’s hard to imagine British television without it.

Although first broadcast in 1958, it wasn’t until Biddy Baxter joined the show as editor in 1962 that Blue Peter really came into its own. During her tenure, which lasted until 1988, she was instrumental in developing the lively magazine format of arts and crafts, presenter challenges, spotlights and showcases and Appeals that we all know and love today. And, of course, without Baxter

As editor and producer of Blue Peter between 1962 and 1988, Biddy Baxter helped shape the imagination, creative talents and resourcefulness of generations of children. Adding to the two BAFTA Awards the series won under her stewardship, the Academy honours Baxter in her own right with the Special Award…

there would be no Blue Peter badge, which is so highly prized by those who earn one (she herself was given a golden badge upon her retirement from the show).

The main aim was, she says, “to encourage our viewers to join in with their own ideas, so it was their programme, as much as it can be in a one-way medium. We didn’t want to sit there like megalomaniacs, doing something for ourselves. The great challenge was we had this multi-age range audience. Without compromising anything, we had to appeal to this very wide demographic and a magazine-style format was ideal for that.”

And yet it could have been so different. Joan Maureen Baxter (Biddy is a childhood nickname that stuck) attended Durham University with ambitions to become a psychiatric social worker, but a chance encounter at the university’s careers office led her to apply for a role as a studio manager at BBC Radio in London upon graduation in 1955. She became the producer of Listen With Mother and BBC School Radio’s Junior English programmes, before moving over to BBC Television Children’s Programmes in 1961 and taking on her role as editor on Blue Peter a year later.

“I came from radio completely ignorant about television,” she says. “I went on a course before being plunged into it. I actually thought I was going to be working on Watch With Mother. I didn’t know I was going to work on Blue Peter, this weekly magazine programme.”

Working alongside producers Edward Barnes and Rosemary Gill, Baxter would shape the show into its current format, devising the Blue Peter badge to encourage children to

send in their ideas (resulting in a weekly postbag of around 7,000 letters) and instigating the annual Blue Peter Appeals, which ask

children to organise bring and buy sales or collect rubbish for recycling and have raised millions of pounds for charities at home and abroad.

“I was incredibly lucky to work with Edward and Rosemary,” she notes.

“Edward was asked to look after me and I think this was hugely unpopular with him at the start, but he did it with good grace and we actually worked very well together. Rosemary was seconded when I went on jury service and stayed on the programme when I returned. We had different talents, but they were complementary talents and we made a very good team.”

During Baxter’s 26 years on Blue Peter, the programme won 22 awards, including two BAFTA Awards and

“I’m quite overwhelmed to have been given the Special Award. I’m thrilled and very proud.”

12 nominations (the show has gone on to win five more). She was appointed an MBE in 1981, and in 1988 received an honorary D. Litt from the University of Newcastle, as well as honorary degrees from Durham and Leicester universities.

In 2003, in memory of her late husband, Baxter founded The John Hosier Music Trust, with Simon Rattle as patron. The Trust provides scholarships for impoverished music students to help them undertake their post-graduate studies. She’s also authored 38 books, including the rather wonderful Dear Blue Peter… in 2008, which collected together 50 years of viewer correspondence, and has raised more than £20,000 for the Trust.

It’s this relationship between programme and viewer which she helped foster that stands as Baxter’s proudest achievement. “We were very lucky to be working for the BBC and to be allowed to create something that had long-term results rather than instant results,” she explains. “Creating a relationship in a one-way medium

with a non-captive audience was a huge challenge. I’ve been incredibly lucky to have had such a long and rewarding broadcasting career, and to have worked with such talented and creative colleagues and so many outstanding presenters.”

It’s hard not to be charmed by Baxter’s self-effacing modesty, who throughout our interview is quick to spread the credit for Blue Peter’s success with both her co-workers and the viewers who contributed to the show. She states that she’s “overwhelmed” to be named as this year’s Special Award recipient. “I’m thrilled and very proud,” she says, adding with a laugh: “And a bit scared, in case I fluff it up on the night.”

BAFTA Kids’ Vote

At its most basic level, the BAFTA Kids’ Vote was designed to give a voice to those who appreciate the films, television shows and interactive media the most: the children. The Award format and voting dynamic for the Kids’ Vote has changed with the times since its introduction at the Children’s Awards in 1997, but ostensibly the aim has always been the same: to allow children to vote for their favourites of the year.

The Kids’ Vote evolved into its current format in 2009, allowing the nation’s children aged between 7 and 14 years old to pick their favourite television show, film, game and website from the past year. By its very nature, the Kids’ Vote invites children to think about why they like a certain film or website, or prefer one game over another. And it’s certainly proved to be popular: more than half a million votes were cast in 2012.

BAFTA hopes to translate these fantastic numbers into a new venture: the BAFTA Children’s: Behind The Scenes series. Launched at the Framed

Festival held at the Barbican earlier this month, the event is more directly inspirational and educational, while also reflecting the vibrancy of our Kids’ Vote website. It took the form of an entertaining 90-minute magazine-style show, presented by Friday Download’s Shannon Flynn and Wolfblood’s Bobby Lockwood. The varied programme included special guest interviews, goodie giveaways, fun challenges, and exclusive behind-the-scenes items about many of tonight’s nominees. It’s our aim to take this format on the road throughout the next 12 months.

By celebrating the amazing content produced in the UK and helping children to learn directly about what goes into making them through our extensive events programme, BAFTA is committed to inspiring the next generation of creative practitioners.

As well as celebrating the best of film, television and games annually, the Academy’s remit is also to inspire the next generation of practitioners. The BAFTA Kids’ Vote was created with both those aims in mind…
