A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
A little girl calls ‘ Listen With Mother ’ her ‘ Noos.’ ‘ Daddy’s “News ”,’ writes her mother, is is so important that nothing must be allowed to interrupt it-so her most important programme is christened “ News.” too.’ In the days when there was no programme for the smallest children, the radio was often something which indeed separated them from the rest of the family, and often they resented it. So it was natural that when they had a programme of their own they should come into a feeling of self-respect at finding themselves no longer out of the picture. and that many should assert their sense of importance by naming the programme according to that which mattered most to the grown-ups around them. It was natural, too, that they should demand the same conditions from grown-ups as the grown-ups demanded from them. As an indignant little boy put it, I'm quiet for your Mrs. Dale's Diary, so you ought to be quiet for my Daphne Oxenfordl ' It is Daphne Oxenford who today begins her turn at the microphone and who has given her name to the yellow one of a little boy's three 'plastic fishes. Her fellowstorytellers are pink and blue

Script by Jonquil Antony

Last week Dr. Dale asked Bob to apologise to Gerda, and he promised to be friendly to her if she continued to work for Dr. Dale. Gwen went riding with David and was thrown from her horse. Mr. Fulton gave Gwen two tickets for the theatre. She asked Michael but he said he had to visit his father, so Bob went with Gwen. During the interval, in the bar, they saw Michael with a blonde. Gwen was annoyed that he had told her a lie. Mrs. Dale discovered that Mrs. Freeman had put up an advertisement saying she would give English lessons for seven-and-sixpence an hour.
