A programme for children at home.
Presenters this week, Carole Ward, Brian Cant
Today's story is called 'When Anna Had a Cold' by Inger and Lasse Sandberg

A picture, a bow tie, and a spider's web are some of the things Carole and Brian make out of old newspaper from the Useful Box.
Later on in the week Carole makes a different kind of picture-a musical picture in the air. On Pets Day Brian brings a new animal to live in Play School and asks you to suggest a name for it. A strawberry birthday cake and a magic hat are two of the things that come into the 'Anna' stories -this week's picturebooks.

by Doris Lessing
Starring Barbara Jefford as Anna
and John Turner as Dave, Michael Gough as Harry, Patricia Lawrence as Mary, Jeremy Burnham as Tom, Sharon Cathness as Janet

Anna, an Australian, widowed, thirtyish, lives in an Earls Court bedsitter. She is a freelance writer. In the same house is Mary, slightly older, beginning to depend on the bottle. The men who drop in are 'loners' too. Tom is stolid, rather pompous; Harry, an ageing philanderer with a wife at home; and Dave who, like Anna, is an expatriate...
This is the starting point of Doris Lessing's play.
