Alongside his "Blue Peter" work, Noakes also presented the BBC's Christmas edition of "Disney Time" with his "Blue Peter" colleagues on December 27, 1971. He returned to host the show solo at Easter 1979. In August 1972, he hosted four editions of BBC Radio 1's "Junior Choice". Overlapping with his period on "Blue Peter", Noakes and Shep made six series of "Go With Noakes" in which they travelled around Britain getting involved in diverse activities like motor racing, rowing, aerobatics and painting. In each series Noakes used a particular mode of transport to get about such as a yacht, on foot, narrow boat, or classic car. A total of 31 episodes of "Go With Noakes" were broadcast between 28 March 1976 and 21 December 1980.
