Timeline

1928

Edward Campbell Barnes (8 October 1928 – 8 September 2021) was a British television executive, and producer at the BBC.

He was credited with creating the children's television programme Newsround.

Barnes was educated at Milton Abbey School, an independent boarding school for boys (now co-educational), in Milton Abbas, Dorset.

1950

The couple, who had three children, were married from 1950 until Smith's death in 1992.

Later, he was a producer of the series.

1962

It was Barnes, with colleague Biddy Baxter, who in late 1962 toured London pet shops after the show's mongrel puppy died and a clandestine substitute (soon known as Petra) was needed so as not to needlessly upset young viewers.

1972

Barnes was the originator of the longstanding children's television news programme Newsround, in April 1972; originally, it was known as John Craven's Newsround.

At the time, he was Deputy Head of Children's Television at the BBC.

Newsround was created to explain stories to children that would not be comprehended equally well on the main news.

It was met with resistance when he formulated it, and was a controversial idea for some of his colleagues.

1986

Newsround was the first to bring the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster to British television on 28 January 1986.

Barnes' wife was the writer Dorothy Smith, who was a contributor to Blue Peter.
