The Golden Age Of Children's TV - "A Bloke And A Monkey Filming On A Bus, That's A Usual Sort Of Thing"

Looks Unfamiliar

Tim Worthington has a new book out called The Golden Age Of Children's TV - all about the best, worst and most just plain baffling shows you grew up with in the sixties, seventies and eighties - and the lines are open now for an hour of fun, facts, laughs and thrills. Jane Hill will be joining us live from a Bring And Buy Sale and trying to keep Petra off the counter as she takes a look at Blue Peter. Melanie Williams is heading down the Helter-Skelter faster and faster towards Cuckooland and dropping by for a chat about Jamie And The Magic Torch. Phil Norman will be taking a look behind the scenes at a programme that more often than not took a look behind the scenes at itself in Pipkins. Una McCormack is on hand to take us on a tour of The Manor in search of The Children Of Green Knowe, and Grace Dent will be taking us through what she's found in the window of Emily's shop in Bagpuss. So if you want to join in the fun - or just swap a Boots Bagpuss Pyjama Case for a copy of The Blue Peter Book Of Teddy's Clothes - ring the show now!

You can get The Golden Age Of Children's TV in all good bookshops, and from Amazon here, Waterstones here or directly from Black And White Publishing here - and if you want to know more about what you can find in it, head for timworthington.org!
