To be honest, Peter Pan was one of those fairy tales that I sort of related to, and I think that's the case with a lot of kids. The whole idea of escapism really resonates with a lot of kids. - Robbie Kay

I connect so much with Peter Gabriel's sound because, to me, he always had that South African vibe. His drums were always something to move to: it was almost like Calypso. I'm a big fan. - Dawn Richard

Since I've left 'Blue Peter' I've presented all sorts of different things. I've done a music show, for instance, and 'Blue Peter' had music on it. I've done a politics show, but on 'Blue Peter' I interviewed the Prime Minister. I've done travel stuff where I've gone abroad, but 'Blue Peter' had that within it as well. - Konnie Huq

Because Blue Peter can get you access to places - if you go to somewhere like Nasa, you don't just see what most people see, you can get a lot of behind the scenes access. You can talk to an astronaut. - Konnie Huq

Back in the 1960s, I saw Peter, Paul and Mary. I was at that age, about 14, and I was mesmerized. - Lucinda Williams

I'm going through life's cycles at an alarmingly fast pace, but my persona has a Peter Pan quality: he doesn't age. - Billy Collins

When I was young we had a collection for the Welsh disaster at Aberfan and we also had a school campaign for Biafra. It is a wake-up call for kids - a way of understanding that it's not all 'Blue Peter' for everyone and that maybe they can help. - Lenny Henry

It's a weird one: nobody notices when a brilliant comedian is fat or has sweat marks under their arms. Peter Kay isn't in the best shape and neither is Ricky Gervais, and it doesn't matter. Still, I like to feel like I'm transforming into something quite cool when I go on stage. - Michael McIntyre

I wish I could be Peter Falk. - Ryan Gosling

My first live performance was the lead in 'Peter Pan.' - Rocky Carroll
