Baroness Thornton & Baroness Benjamin - House of Lords Media Bill Amendment Proposals, 8th May 2024
Просмотров 1497 месяцев назад
On 8th May 2024 Baroness Thornton (for Labour) and Baroness Benjamin (for the Liberal Democrats) proposed two similar amendments to the Media Bill in the House of Lords Committee Stage. As is customary, the amendments were withdrawn after debate as the government did not accept them. However they put down an important marker about the need for a full review of children’s content access in the U...

A wonderful actor and a decent person in every way. Anyone under the age of 70 would've seen him in something when they were kids, whether that was Jackanory, The Railway Children, The Wombles or even Doctor Who. I wish him a safe journey to the great railway station in the sky Goodbye Bernard, we still miss you ❤ xxxx
Johnny Ball. Floella Benjamin, Brian Cant. Derek Griffiths were the ones I remember. Born in 76. I remember playschool and DrWho very vividly, I probably started forming permanent memories at around 3 years.
Just heard the news. Julie Stevens is gone as well. I can’t believe it. 💔
everything became rainbow colours and big faces, aimed at autistic chidlren after this
Well, I wouldn't quite say that. I mean after Play School we had some decent programmes. I would argue that Playdays was pretty decent. Rosie and Jim too. Although they never quite had the charm Play School had. Same goes for programmes like Rainbow, Sooty, The Magic Roundabout, Jackanory, etc. These programmes just can't be topped.
I loved play school
❤
A wonderful talent and a genuinely lovely man. He left us with some great childhood memories and was always 100% with everything he did. Anyone under the age of 80 would've seen him in something growing up. Thanks for the entertainment Bernard ❤ 😊 Any memories, anyone?
I was born in 1975 (49 at time of writing). Play School is so nostalgic for my generation and people like the wonderful Brian Cant, Floella Benjamin, Chloe Ashcroft, and many more were outstanding examples of fun and learning for this young age group. They were the first inspirational people who enabled me to consider a career in Nursery Nursing. 32 years later I’m still using this inspiration to work with young children.
Can we all just agree that Tikkabilla was absolutely crap in comparison to Playschool?
Born 65...Derek Griffiths, Toni Arthur and Carol Chell were my favourites.
It's great to know that Derek Griffiths is still alive and doing well for himself today. Same with Floella Benjamin, Fred Harris and Johnny Ball. Toni and Carol are definitely still alive today, as well. It's been years since we lost Eric Thompson, Sarah Long, Gordon Rollings, Diane Dorgan and Brian Cant, and we've only lost people like Rick Jones and Terry Holland a couple years ago. They will all be missed greatly.
Does anyone know the name of the female presenter at 9:43? I don't recognise her at all.
I think that might be Lucie Skeaping, who presented the show from 1980 up until 1983. But I'm not too sure. If not, then I think it was Lesley Nightingale from 1981. I tried looking in Paul R Jackson's books to see who she was there, because I wasn't too sure myself. I think it's one of those two, though. I was judging via the storytime clock's design. That version of the storytime clock was from 1978-1982, and many female hosts who looked like that joined within that time. I'm positive it's either Lucie or Lesley, but don't quote me.
Definitely not Lucie - it might be Karen Platt.
@@andreww6769 Perhaps. Then again very unlikely. That design of the storytime clock came when Karen Platt stopped doing the show.
@@andreww6769 It might be Karen. But again, I'm judging by the storytime clock's green and yellow cog design. A design that debuted when Karen Platt was about to come off the hosting cast.
@@andreww6769 Actually, it might be Karen. There is an edition online of her and Brian Cant hosting, about trees and pencils, from 1976. It's probably the haircut that threw us off.
Very well said 🙏
This was brilliant. A great reunion. I was born in 1970 so my childhood was the 70s and remember this programme very well. Brian Can't, Johnny Ball, Derek Griffiths, Floella Benjamin and Toni Arthur etc. And of course the toys of Humpty, Hamble etc. I liked the through the window section, especially when they showed funfairs (I was obsessed with funfairs as a kid). This was very well done with heart and humour.
Born in the late 60's, I truly believe that british childrens TV was never better than it was in my childhood. Always watched Playschool after coming home from infant school, my favourite presenter being fellow Surreyite, Derek Griffiths.
What a legend, loved him in some of them Peter Sellers films.
I don't believe that Iain Laughlan and Elizabeth Watts had aged very much & at all.
Neither has Floella (who couldn't make it to this event, unfortunately). And Derek Griffiths has hardly aged at all, especially not in spirit or charisma.
I love playschool Brian Cant was wonderful, who, along with Julie Stevens, were my favourites.
It's nice to see the way they are taking care of Brian Cant, who was very ill at the time. A legend.
Born in '64 I was lucky enough to have these wonderful people entertain me, my brother and my dear sister. Thankyou to all of them. In my humble opinion that was the golden age of children's tv.
Im 54 , i remember watching playschool, its so emotional taking it back to my childhood😂❤
I too loved this programme and all the great presenters. They were a key part to a child’s upbringing. I loved Brian Cant and Derek Griffiths particularly. Fred Harris Johnny Ball, Toni and the whole female team. A few years ago, I saw Jonathan Cohen (the Pianist) at the Shakespeare theatre in Stratford. I so wanted to say hello and thank him, but I didn’t want to interrupt his meal. I regret it now. Fond fond memories of that great show and team. Thankyou to everyone who took part. X
I can’t believe I’m in my late 50’s and I sat there crying watching this. Crying watching Playschool… in my fifties. 🤣🤣 There’s a house with a door… windows 1,2,3,4. 😭 I was so upset to learn Brian Cant had passed away since this was filmed. That’s when I realised this must be from about 2014. He had Parkinson’s. It’s a shame we didn’t really get to hear him talk. This was my first tv programme that I remember watching. Carole Ward, Carol Chell and Chloe Ashcroft were my main ladies, Toni Arthur and Flo. Also Brian Can’t, Derek Griffiths, Johnny Ball, and I had a crush on Jonathan Cohen. 🤣 I don’t remember the other men much but more the women when I was young as it was all bout the women at that age as Dad was at work and mum at hime. Plus women had softer voices and I was scared of men that were loud. The clock music i’d forgotten and the rolling days of the week thingy. I loved that. Gutted about Hamble. I read that they brought a black doll into replace her to be inclusive. Yes the BBC up to its tricks back them. If true why not just being in a new doll. No need to sack poor Hamble. But I don’t know for sure. Thank you to all the presenters that were part of my life from the mid 60’s. Even now it’s a calming programme to watch. Until the songs. RIP Brian Cant and Sarah Long. 🙏♥️ Thank you.
RIP to Rick Jones, Diane Dorgan, Johnny Silvo, Gordon Clyde and Valerie Pitts as well. Not to mention all the other hosts who lost their lives, like Eric Thompson and Gordon Rollings. Growing up, you don't realise just how much the hosts did behind the scenes. Carole Ward is a good example. When she stopped hosting the show, she went on to write, produce and direct tons of other weeks of editions.
@@humphreyjohnstone6783 Yes. I was just talking about Rick Jones. I’m not sure I remember him but I thought he looked like the guy from Fingerbobs, and yes, it’s him. I really liked him on that. Great voice. There are a lot that have gone but it’s not surprising given our age now. We’re lucky that most of the people here were still alive in 2014 so this tribute could be done. I hope they can read these comments to see how much they were loved and what a difference they made. Sadly not Brian. They were like part of the family. Tv babysitters.
@@WinterLove13 Absolutely. And also, we can't not talk about Eric Thompson. Although he definitely wasn't around long (he only did three full years on the show, 1964-1966, then a brief week in 67), he was the one who told those wonderful stories about a certain magic roundabout.... "Where are my SUGAR LUMPS???" said Dougal, angrily.
Born 1970, remember all these so well
Brian Cant and Derek Griffiths were my two favourite presenters.
They were both phenomenal presenters. I loved them too. Love Playschool, then PlayAway on a Saturday!
Born 75, loved it
It was a television crime that this was ever cancelled.
Born 1971 - this has awakened so many memories, all of them absolutely happy and wonderful.
born 69. Beautiful, just beautiful x Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the programme makers and techies and presenters.
Born 1965
I'm so stupid, a 61 year old man, and I started crying watching this. Just lovely.
Wish I knew about this, would love to have been there.
Even though I didn't know any of these presenters and never watched the UK Play School, it was such a delight to watch. Was lovely to also see the Aussie Play School and Don Spencer sending their best wishes. I was born in 1968 and grew up watching Play School.
Still remember the duck rhyme with the swimming!
I was born 1973 and I desperately wanted a rocking horse (would have loved a real horse!) like Dobbin. TBH I still would love a rocking horse.
Dapple!!! :))
Of course it was!
Loved this, glad Playaway got a mention as it was a great break from Grandstand/World of Sport on a Saturday when we only had 3 channels ❤
Born in '62, and if I'm honest, I don't remember ever being young enough to watch this. By the time I was old enough to pay attention to a TV programme, I was too old to appreciate it. Even before I went to school, this seemed "childish" to me. Taking nothing away from the fantastic job all these presenters did over the years, but it just "missed" me...
Born in 68 and a child of 70’s TV, to many great children’s television shows to mention, so imaginative and talented people. Simpler times, happy times 😊
Born in ‘67 and have great memories of Play School. This anniversary special brought so many of those memories back. It made me smile and cry in equal measure. All those fantastic presenters who were such a part of my life, thank you!
Why aren't these Wonderful Toys Children's Memories in the Victoria and Albert Museum🏣
Oh My Lord My Childhood has hit me in the gut I'm 55 talk about memories
What a glorious review of a wonderful children’s iconic BBC programme. Thank you for sharing.
England has never been the same 😞
So many great 1970's children's shows. Play School, Fingerbobs, Bagpuss, The Sooty Show, Rainbow, Bod, Mr Ben😃
Don't forget about Ragtime and Play Away.
@@humphreyjohnstone6783 The Flumps, The Wombles and Pipkins, as well.
@@Chris_34 So many. So many. The 60s and 70s were the perfect era for children's television. The 80s too, but the simplicity and gentleness it was sort of fading away at that time.
@@Chris_34 That was when stuff like Transformers and Ninja Turtles were coming out. Then Power Rangers came in the 90s. All these American shows that were more or less toy advertisements rather than quality kids TV. Then in the 2000s, toddlers were no doubt watching High School Musical and CBeebies' patronising nonsense.
I loved this. Chloe Ashcroft was my first girl crush, Floella Benjamin came a VERY close second. Hambell, was evil
I loved play school I was born in 76. I loved the toys and had my own version of Big Ted and Little Ted.
LOL! I was born in the 1970's and I also had a copy of Big Ted. My little brother had a Little Ted. I always wanted a Bagpuss or Zippy from Rainbow but I never got one of those😭.
@@Chris_34 I had Zippy, I didn't have Bagpuss but I now have a daughter, Emily, who does have a Bagpuss (and the dvd) so she knows why I sing 'we will mend it, we will fix it' in a high pitched voice whenever Im repairing something. 😆
@@Queenfloofles Hahaha! The mice🐭
Brian Cant was my favourite. ❤
I love this. At 54 years of age I have fobd memories of Play School and Play Away. Still love Humpty😊
You are therefore the same age as me. I turned 54 two months ago and would have watched Play School 1975 and prior!
@@angelacooper2661 fond memories of the old days!😊
Happy Birthday play school
The original children TV. I watched this on a Black and white TV.
Remember sitting cross legged on the floor in front of the TV waiting for Playschool to start, Floela Benjamin was my favourite and Jemima the doll :)
