An exploration of the history of children's radio from the English speaking world. Michael Rosen discovers that for many children in northern and southern hemispheres, everything stopped at 5pm when their own radio shows began. Programmes featured include The Small Types Club in Canada, with its tiny host Baby Bee; The Argonauts' Club which encouraged Australian children to strive for the ultimate prize of a "golden fleece"; and serials like the adventures of Sergeant Preston of the Yukon which kept young American children enthralled in the thirties and fifties. Producer Caroline Barbour
