A programme for children at home.
In the story chair, George Browne.

Matchboxes and silver paper are some of the materials Miranda uses to make a river scene today. On Thursday the pen-men Skitter, Hope, and Camberley help to draw a picture story, and you can look at some of the pictures that have been sent in to Play School. Not every picture can be fitted on the picture board, but each one that arrives is carefully looked at and admired. The visiting storyteller is George Browne who tells two Brer Rabbit stories from his own West Indian childhood.
Today's story is called "Mrs. Goose's Washing Day"

A portrait of a reunited city.
For three great religions, a sacred city. For 3,000 years, a city of bloodshed and conquest.
Is Jerusalem now one city in any terms other than those of military conquest? Will the Israelis and the Arabs ever learn to live here in peace?
Written and produced by Edward Mirzoeff.
