Peter Duncan

You may find yourself saying who the fvck is that weird kid dressed up in a unitard in the photo above? It’s Peter Duncan. You might then be forced into a similar line of questioning demanding to know who the fvck is Peter Duncan? I can tell you he is the original. The numero uno. The don on all things bad in the world of the children’s television presenter.

In 1980 a story broke that the hunky down to earth lovable Pete was also the same dirty little nympho who got all too involved in the sexually explicit skin flick The Lifetaker. Before this revelation the motherhood masses of the 80s were all ready expressing themselves in awe of this big handed devil of the tele set before he showed them one he did earlier. Just try mentioning old Pete Duncan to your mum and she’ll soon remind you of a time when she could do more things with Tracy Island paper-mache models and sticky back plastic than you could shake a dozen clit boners at.

Just when you thought his character wasn’t all ready being dragged through the mud enough as a result of his porno exploits he was once again brought into the spotlight for his controversy – when he was appointed 9th Chief Scout for The Scout Association in the UK, for a five year tenure from September 2004 onwards. To the dismay of many an avid Scout – Duncan had the audacity to take up the post despite his only ever having been a Cub Scout before rejoining the organisation as an adult – will he ever cease? What a nutcase.

Here’s a little snippet of him from the Lifetaker – no wonder they gave him the Blue Peter Golden Badge.
