Riverside Studios are delighted to bring you a new addition to our 'Made at Riverside' TV strand, celebrating the long history of TV production at the studios.
The BBC Children's television series PLAY SCHOOL, created by Joy Whitby and featuring various presenters, ran from 1964 to 1988 and was filmed initially at Riverside. It was aimed at pre-school children, and each programme followed a broad theme and consisted of songs, stories and activities with presenters in the studio, along with a short film introduced through either the square, round or arched window in the set. Play School maintained the same basic formula throughout a 24-year history.
This episode showcase features a recently-discovered lost episode transmitted on 12/8/65; which will be introduced by the team at Film is Fabulous who discovered it and returned it to the BBC. We will also screen episodes transmitted on 28/2/66 and 21/4/66 (2nd anniversary episode), following which special guests involved in the show will join us for a post-show Q&A!
£75/year gets you: 6 free tickets, 10% ticket discount, free popcorn every visit, no booking fees, monthly exclusive screenings AND MUCH MORE.
