Some workers were laying cables under the O2 when they found the time capsule, which had been buried by then-hosts Richard Bacon and Katy Hill, and pretty hastily busted it open.
Inside were classic '90s artefacts such as a tamagotchi, a Spice Girls CD, a Tellytubby, a football from the World Cup, and a photo of Princess Diana.

The Sun reports that the builders didn't realise it was a Blue Peter capsule when they opened it, and that when it was found "a bloke in a forklift squished it with the machine’s teeth".
The capsule, which also included stamps, coins, and for some reason, an insulin pen, is going to be reburied and dug up (again) in 2050 when hopefully the contents will feel a little less fresh in the memory.
