A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
Charles, the hero of Ruth Ainsworth's stories, is a small boy, and the things he does are the things that any small boy enjoys or would enjoy—making boats, for instance, out of corks at the seaside, as happens in Friday's tale this week, or playing gaoies about grown-up life, as in Wednesday's story, ' Charles Goes to the Office.'
Charles' mosher understands his needs.
She might well complain about ' bulging' pockets; instead she makes a ' useful bag ’ for his treasures ;with unexpectedly satisfactory results in today's story, ' Charles and the String Plait ') and goes to considerable trouble over a hobby-horse in tomorrow's, ‛Charles and Dapple.’ She has, moreover, a wise way with Charles when he is ' difficult,' as indeed he sometimes is, and as will be found in Thursday's tale, ‛ Charles is Cross.’ Daphne Oxenford is the s'oryteller who reintroduces Charles to his young admirers this week.

Mrs. Dale, the doctor's wife, records the daily happenings in the life of her family
Script by Basil Dawson
Jenny decided to find some evening work to help pay her expenses and arrived in London unexpectedly. She stayed the weekend at Virginia Lodge and later told Bob that she had found work as a baby-sitter. Bruce Laurie told Dr. Dale he had found a practice in the country and that he was going to let his house to Dr. Gardiner, who would sub-let one floor of the house. Gwen was determined to ask him for the ground floor flat since she continued to find life difficult in an upstairs flat with Billy now crawling around, and Edward Fielding complaining of the noise he made. Sally could not decide on a name for her shop. Mrs. Morgan noticed Tiggy scuffing along the road, untidy and obviously very unhappy.
