Lesley Judd Career

After leaving Blue Peter, Judd fronted a children's TV 'chat' show, In The Limelight With Lesley, on BBC1, along the same lines as the earlier series Val Meets The VIPs with Singleton. One of her guests was British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who was asked to comment on an earlier appearance on Val Meets The VIPs in 1973 in which she had said there would not be "a woman Prime Minister in my lifetime". Another guest was the reigning Miss World Gina Swainson. Judd appeared with Billy Boyle on an ITV series for children, Dance Crazy, tracing the history of dance and was a regular panellist on game shows such as Punchlines. She later featured as 'The Mole' in the educational game show The Adventure Game, and was co-presenter of the technology game show The Great Egg Race, the computer-related Micro Live from 1984 and Pets in Particular (1985).

She was a presenter on Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4 from 1982 to 1988, and appeared as a television newsreader in the film Threads (1984). Judd was a presenter on the London radio station LBC during the late 1980s, later co-hosting with Steve Allen, at the same time presenting various programmes on television for the Open University. In 1992, Judd also presented a daytime interview programme on UK Channel 4, Time To Talk. Each programme consisted of an interview with one celebrity guest. Valerie Singleton, David Kossoff, Diana Moran, Jonathon Porritt and Don Maclean were among the interviewees. Lesley was also in the late 1970s a continuity announcer on Southern Television.

Post-presenting career

Now living near Toulouse, France, Judd is employed as a conference organiser. Although asked on several occasions to take part in Blue Peter reunions, she has generally declined, feeling that her television career was no longer a part of her life, though she did appear on Blue Peter's 35th birthday programme in 1993 and the 50th birthday commemorations in 2008. She also appeared in December 2017 in a tribute programme to fellow Blue Peter presenter John Noakes, who had died earlier that year. On 16 October 2018, she appeared on BBC Breakfast and later that day on Blue Peter to celebrate their sixtieth anniversary.

Children adored her performance, but she ran Blue Peter with a rod of iron, frightening the presenters and bosses alike. Biddy Baxter, not the Daleks, was scarier than the Daleks, no wonder they said

The accolades paid to Biddy Baxter are well deserved: 'The BBC has never seen a more dedicated, passionate, and pioneering children's producer in its history,' Sir David Attenborough states in this book. Sir Simon Rattle says, 'Isn't a good lady.' Biddy, a Leicester-based journalist who edited Blue Peter, a twice-weekly magazine publication that has been enjoyed, imitated, mocked, celebrated, revered' in the words of Marson, for 26 years, from 1962 to 1988. Blue Peter, the world's longest-running children's television show, remains a mash-up of animal and pet products, awards, humanitarian appeals, global exploration, cookery demonstrations, and history lessons.
