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. Bibi Lynch is waiting at the Why Bird Stop to join us on board the Playbus. Rose Ruane will be bringing along some alliterative bits and pieces and telling us all about Bric-A-Brac. Anna Cale is joining us to keep us up to date with the latest headlines direct from the Junior Gazette in Press Gang. Vikki Gregorich will be dropping by to introduce a new animated adventure serial in Ulysses 31 and Bob Fischer is on hand to explain how you too can trace patterns from plates like in The Owl Service. So if you want to join in the fun – or just swap a copy of Press Gang: Public Exposure for a copy of The Making Of The Owl Service – ring the show now!
