Play School: Useful Box Day

on BBC Two England

A programme for children at home.
Presenters this week Marla Landi, Colin Jeavons
Today's story is called "What Anna Saw" by Inger and Lasse Sandberg

"There was a crooked man,
and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence
against a crooked style;
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house."

Have you ever done any measuring? A crooked mile is one of the things Colin tries to measure on Friday. Today is April Fools' Day when people play tricks on each other. Marla and Colin watch out in case anything odd happens in "Play School". There are other tricks to watch later in the week when George Melly brings his own Punch and Judy show.
