Tea for Two!
How could Alice, the Mad Hatter and the Dormouse have held the most famous tea party of all time without a cuppa?

Don't miss Mark Curry's first day as a Blue Peter presenter (little does he know he's in for a surprise), and catch up with the latest news about the four-legged members of the team - Bonnie and the Seb Coe of the tortoise world, George.
