A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
* We had a kitten last Christmas,' wrote the mother of a small listener, ' and of course its name had to be Mitten'because Mitten is the name of the endearing little creature in the stories by Christine Rees that are so long remembered and are so often asked for by our under-fives. They like especially his little song and are often moved to make up similar ones about themselves. In one family where the kitten had four white paws, instead of one, the song was suitably adapted to, 'I'm Mittens the kitten, yo ho! ' One girl of eleven who overheard the programme remembered the puppy 'Spot,' Mitten's next-door neighbour, who had no little white paw but a spot on the end of his nose, and she made up a song for him too: I'm Spot, I've a dot On the end of my nose. There isn't much time, So my song must now close.' Our small listeners who have been enquiring. about Mitten will welcome him back this week when they hear all about him again from Julia Lang.

Commentaries on the closing stages of the Junior Clubman's Race from the Isle of Man
Script by Jonquil Antony
Last week Mrs. Dale recorded in her diary that Maggs (Mrs. Morgan's lodger) won a goose and, to Mrs. Morgan's concern, insisted on keeping it as a pet. Dr. Dale told Mrs. Dale he thought they should give a dinner-party. Mrs. Dale disapproved of the matron at Brimscombe House Old People's Home, because of the unnecessary regulations she enforced. While Mrs. Dale and Sally were wrapping up silver, Sally noticed a newspaper paragraph about a man rescuing a woman from a burning house. He was not expected to live. The name was Tony Coppard-the name of her first husband. She left a note the next day saying she had gone to see Tony, who was in hospital in Devonshire. Dr. Dale asked David to go and see her and persuade her to return to London, as they were afraid she might take Tony to her cottage at Gimlet Green.
