Has Peter really been a major presenter of snooker tournaments??? Certainly I have no recollection of this, nor have I ever seen it mentioned anywhere. I thought his major post-Blue Peter role was as the presenter of Crufts every year? Angmering 00:03, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I've checked his official website and looked at his CV. I don't anything listed that looks like a snooker tournament, so I've changed that bit of info. -khaosworks 02:32, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Wasn't it John Leslie, also an ex Blue Peter presenter, that she had a thiung with?

Indeed, just what I was thinking - she certainly did date Leslie at one point. I find the image of her dating Purves very hard to believe! Angmering 09:42, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Where does he live?

The Northampton article claims he lives near there. Does he just have a second home there, or in Suffolk, or is there a mistake?

I've added a reference for his Suffolk home — I'll remove the comment from the Northampton article, unless someone can reference him having another home there.Angmering 06:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've just been there now and seen that the comment is in the past tense, so it's probably okay. Angmering 06:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
