[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 424334, member: 23"] Yes, I think that's the way TV in general was at the time. I'm sure at the time[I] Play School[/I] aired, there'd have been no other programming for young children. Since it was before daytime telly was even a thing I wouldn't be surprised if it was up against the test card. On the last image, there are another few presenters seated to the right, but my screen cap is from a moment when it's zoomed in a little. It's possible Toni is there (the caps are from the video in the first post, so you may be able to scroll through and find her). He was great. I loved him in [I]Chock-A-Block [/I]as well (even though I've since convinced myself that was hosted by Johnny Ball). It always looked so futuristic at the time, and I loved that he'd enter in a little electric cart: "Chock-A-Bloke checking in". Here's the infamous episode where he says "cock" about a dozen times: [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]sPHoDI315mA[/MEDIA][/CENTER] Oh wonderful. His "Melvyn Hayes" voice was hilarious. My affection for him has just grown. [/QUOTE]
