A sentence from Wikipedia that begs for elaboration (and how I came to find it)

One of the new additions to the library from the Christmas season is the DVD of At Last the 1948 Show (US,UK). After a couple of episodes, a question arose - "Whatever became of 'The Lovely' Aimi MacDonald?" The answer: not much. The IMDB has her appearing in Rentaghost, which is one of those things that I've heard about for years but have never actually known about.

Learn about Rentaghost on Wikipedia.

At the bottom of of the page is the category for "BBC children's television programmes."

This led me to Blue Peter, as it is close to the top.

And then to this: "Other well-remembered and much-repeated items include the Girl Guides' bonfire that got out of hand on the 1970 Christmas edition."

This I want to see.
