7:16Now PlayingA long time ago (1980, actually), in a BBC Television studio far far away...
R2-D2 ran over Goldie the Blue Peter dog, Darth Vader, Chewbacca and C-3PO were sized up by Simon Groom and Christopher Wenner, Sarah Green chatted to Carrie Fisher as she played with a tortoise, Mark Hamill cuddled a cat, and everybody ate lashings of Star Wars stew - courtesy of a recipe by 8-year-old Elspeth Bruford.
All in the name of promoting The Empire Strikes Back.
Originally broadcast 22 May, 1980.
Blue Peter is still going strong, with new editions of the show broadcast live on CBBC and BBC iPlayer every Friday at 5pm
