Children's TV programme, running since 1958 (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

blue peter

(Other definitions for blue peter that I've seen before include "Flag flown when about to sail - TV programme" , "Flag raised before sailing" , "Flag to show a vessel is ready to sail" , "Ship's flag on leaving port" , "Flag showing ship is about to leave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
