I remember watching this a lifetime ago, aged seven (?). Now I'm seeing it again a lifetime later and it's still just as engaging. Briant Cant was a god.
It was long-running - from the early 70s through to 1984. You remember Play School? This was its spin-off for the next age group up, a comedy sketch show with the emphasis on wordplay and music. Maybe you'll just about remember the era when Floella Benjamin had joined - it had changed quite a bit by then: ruclips.net/video/t1RF5MTF4k8/видео.html
@@VideotapeFTW oh wow, I didn't have a clue about that. I obviously remember play school though and Ms Benjamin. Infact, me and the misses was only talking about her a few weeks ago, saying that we hadn't seen her in year's. 👍
@@TheRetroManRandySavage That's _Baroness_ Benjamin to you and me these days, believe it or not! (Seriously.) Floella was one of my early favourite TV presenters thanks to Play School and Play Away. :-)

Briant Cant was a god.
This is before my time, ahead of it's time and contains a talking clock song that is just brilliant.
Back in the 80s I had a crush on Anita Dobson, she was the one and ONLY reason I ever watched Eastenders.
I see exactly what you mean about the singing in Look & Read - perfect match in my brain too!
Dear Brian Cant and Play Away would of been a youtube sensation perhaps, after being dumped by the BBC
It was always said here , Children’s tv program for grown ups.
Oh wow!!
Angie watts and baldrick appearing in playaway before coming famous in their own right during the 80s
When the world was so much more enjoyable
I'm in touch with Julie's daughter on Twitter.
Have given her the nod!
Thank you so much! There are more to come, so stay tuned. :-)
Would this be the other oldest recording you have?
Oldest full episode of anything, yes. :-)
Never seen this before. How long did it run for?

@@VideotapeFTW wow, good for her. It's nice that she got some recognition. She was a large part of our lives in the 80s.
