A programme for children at home.
Presenters this week, Carol Chell, Brian Cant
In the story chair, Ian Wallace

Do you live in a house or a flat? Or perhaps you live in a caravan, a boat, or even a castle? Each day this week, Brian and Carol look at a different sort of house and on Friday the arched window shows an unusual place to live-a lighthouse.
The picturebook on Thursday is 'The Canal Trip' by Joan Cass, with pictures by William Stobbs.
'The Trout,' 'The Hedgehog', and 'Amanda' are the stories which Ian Wallace returns to tell this week. Amanda is a donkey and after the story you will meet one just like her.
