A programme for children at home.
Presenters this week, Carol Chell, John White

This is the time of year for frost, ice, and snow. Today Carol makes a snowman with cotton wool, and in Friday's experiment John finds out what happens when ice is dropped into water. The poem heard every day is about a robin in the snow, and on Wednesday Carol and John make a 'nut-string' to help feed the birds on cold winter days.
Today's story is called 'Skitter, Hope, and Camberley open a shop'

by Alan Plater.
[Starring] Nigel Davenport as Donkin and Norman Rodway as Murphy, Stephanie Bidmead as Mrs. Mellish, Fiona Walker as Susan, John Bryans as Mr. Mellish, Jill Melford as Mrs. Donkin

In the second of Alan Plater's three plays, the private relationships of a public relations man come under examination. Donkin can't resist women-and he can't help running away when, as invariably happens, his womanising gets him into trouble.
(Norman Rodway is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)
