1970s/80s schools tv was fantastic. I often learned more from watching that when I was off ill than I did at school.

I probably saw & enjoyed your episodes. I think I would have started watching Play School in about 1968-9, & it feels like my earliest TV memory. I loved it! The presenters were all so different from each other, yet so warm & likeable. Very fond memories of the programme, & later of Play Away too.

Fascinating fact: I worked on 'Playschool' in 1971 as a trainee BBC TV and radio producer/director. I wrote and directed 6 editions of 'Playschool' before moving to BBC Schools TV.
