Series One – List of Presenters Week by Week with Archive Holdings
The total numbers of programmes broadcast were 4,948 excluding 216 repeats.
Only 1,173 editions survive within the BBC Archives, which means that sadly 3,775 programmes have been
lost forever. I have listed each year followed by the number of programmes that remain.
Below that is each week showing presenters and any guest presenters with archive holding information in
brackets.

Series Two – List of Presenters Week by Week with Archive Holdings
The total number of original programmes broadcast was 744 excluding 577 repeats.
Only 727 editions survive within the BBC Archives, which mean that sadly 17 programmes have been lost
forever.
I have listed each year followed by the number of programmes that remain. Below that is each week showing
presenters and any guest presenters with archive holding information in brackets
If there is nothing in brackets after an entry this means all five programmes are still held in the BBC Archives.
1983 – 56 programmes survive out of 75 with no repeats

From 1965-70 billed each day of the programme as follows:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Useful Box Day
Dressing Up Day
Pet’s Day
Imagination Day
Science Day
From the 6th to 10th June 1966 the billed presenters were Carol Chell and Rick Jones. But for some reason Rick
only appeared on the Monday and was replaced by Barry Wilsher from Tuesday to Friday. I viewed the Tuesday
7th June 1966 edition and the programme opened with the presenters at the dressing-up pegs.
Carol: “Hello”
Barry: “Hello”
Carol: “That’s a surprise isn’t it? Did you expect to see Rick there? Well he couldn’t come today so Barry has
come instead”
Barry: “Well we are going to dress up today. And I have got some sports clothes hanging on the pegs behind me
and into the bag I have just put some things that you play a game with. I’ll tell you about it later, but perhaps
you’ve guessed what game it is already”
Carol: “Let’s look at the calendar and see what day it is today. Today is Tuesday and the month is June and that
number is seven. So today is Tuesday the 7th June”
Carol had a bad cold that affected her voice and Barry was dressed as a cricketer. He then said the weeks’
nonsense poem and sang a nonsense song ‘Don’t Let the Rain Come Down’ and then looked at the clock showing
quarter past two. Carol then told the story about a patchwork quilt that had been made by her great grandmother
watched by Teddy seated in the background. Barry holding an umbrella in the cyclorama set with a rain effect
superimposed told the rhyme ‘Rain rain go away, come again another day’ before he went over to the windows
set.
Barry: “Well we are going to look through the Round Window. And we are going to see some men playing a
cricket match. Come on”

A film was shown of a packed test match with without a commentary by the presenter. Afterwards Barry explained
how the bowler had to bowl and hit the wicket and how the batsman had to hit the ball to score runs. Carol then
entered and bowled a ball and suggested using a soft ball until you got used to it before they said goodbye.
From the 5th to 9th December 1966, the billed presenters were Miranda Connell and Brian Cant. But for some
reason Brian only appeared on the Monday and was replaced by Gordon Rollings from Tuesday to Friday.
The edition of the 7th to 13th September 1968 had a colour photo on its back page of Valerie Pitts and Rick
Jones with the toys.
The edition of the 30th August to 5th September 1969 had a colour feature with pictures of four presenters –
Carole Ward and Brian Cant and below Rick Jones and Julie Stevens.
Incorrectly billed Johnny Ball as Johnnie on the 22nd February 1971.
From Monday 25th February to Friday 1st March 1974 billed Stan Arnold’s first appearance along with Carol
Chell and storyteller Percy Edwards on Wednesday 27th February and 1st March. However, the presenters for
the week were Miranda Connell and Don Spencer – a repeat week first transmitted 23rd to 27th July 1973. Stan
Arnold’s first appearance was Monday 29th April 1974 with Carol Chell.
Jonathan Cohen was featured on John Craven’s Back Page week commencing Saturday 14th November 1981.
Presenters Sheelagh Gilbey, Jane Hardy, Fred Harris and Nigel Makin were featured on the Back Page for the
week 22nd to 28th August 1987 along with baby photos and the readers were asked to identify who was who.
