Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on August 12, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Simon Groom! You're officially a timeless classic—even better preserved than your iconic Blue Peter badges. Who could forget those joyful days (and dodgy hairstyles) on our beloved screens between 1978 and 1986? Whether wrestling with unruly pets or navigating hilarious craft mishaps, you transformed chaos into comedy gold.

These days you're busy crafting documentaries like "Angels and Devils," proving you've traded in bottle-top rockets for thought-provoking stories. Thanks for continuously inspiring curiosity—from cardboard spaceships to compelling filmmaking! May your celebrations be filled with less sticky-back plastic disasters but just as much laughter. Have an amazing day, Simon—here's to many more adventures ahead!
