A programme for children at home.
Presenters this week, Miranda Connell, Terence Holland
In the story chair, Charles Leno

The poem which starts Play School each day this week is about a man who lived in a teapot-and on Thursday Miranda Connell and Terence Holland build some strange-shaped houses out of cardboard boxes. The picturebook is 'Veronica Goes to Petunia's Farm' by Rosier Duvoisin-Veronica is a hippopotamus and Petunia a goose.
Charles Leno is back again with some stories about the identical twins, Bill and Fred.

by Alun Owen.
[Starring] Keith Barron as John Lord, John Collin as Macallus, Geraldine Moffatt as Monica Lord, Malcolm Taylor as Waters, Brian Osborne as Barman

Journalist Jim Lord, returning to his native Liverpool to interview a 'pop' poet, finds himself interviewed instead. 'You wander in here, high enough to give yourself the necessary amount of courage to project all the unpleasant aspects of your own failures and frustrations on to me and rudely at that, and I'm supposed to react in some way that'll do your work for you, give you your "story".'
