Geordie Racer is an educational BBC Look and Read production, which was first aired on BBC2 from 12 January to 22 March 1988.

The story was set in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the surrounding area, and featured pigeon racers and runners competing in the Great North Run.

The main character is Richard "Spuggy" Hilton (Spuggy being a nickname – the Geordie word for sparrow), who isn't a runner like the rest of his family, but is a keen pigeon fancier and owns 'Blue Flash' – one of the best birds in Newcastle.

Geordie Racer was praised for attempting to bring a grittier edge to educational programmes shown in primary schools.

The series also featured Geordie actor Kevin Whately as Spuggy's father.
