A programme for children at home.
In the story chair, Charles Leno
Repeated on BBC-1 at 1.35

Charles Leno tells three stories about a pair of identical twins. And 'pairs' is the subject of a guessing game. What goes with King? Queen.
Kings and Queens themselves feature in this week's choice of poems - Wednesday's highlight being The King's Breakfast with a real cow. And this is followed on Thursday by an experiment with butter-making.
Dressing up on Tuesday should be an occasion because on the pegs there will be costumes from 200 years ago-to accompany the picture-book story, The Tailor of Gloucester by Beatrix Potter.
