: Play School: Useful Box Day
A programme for children at home.This is another farming week with traditional and new country games and songs and a real tractor in Play School. Eric Thompson grew up in the country and has brought the world he knew as a child into the scripts he has prepared for himself and his wife Phyllida Law.
A new feature appears on Thursday - the felt pens Skitter, Hope, and Camberley, who give shape to their dreams with thick lines, thin lines, and spots.
The week's visitor is Eileen Colwell, pioneer of children's libraries and queen of storytellers. She will tell favourite stories she has told before, and Tuesday's picture-book will be "Old Winkle and the Seagulls" by Gerald Rose.
Repeated on BBC-1 at 1.30

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
