Manage episode 481229276 series 1402484
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. Juliet Brando will be getting out her binoculars for a look at some of Britain's disappearing wildlife in Orm And Cheep. If you're a fan of Press Gang, Stephen O'Brien will be dropping by with a few hints and tips on how to start your very own Junior Gazette, and Steve O'Brien will be bringing along a few of the ornaments from Emily's shop window in Bagpuss. John Rain has a few playground moneymaking ideas for the new term at Grange Hill and Tim Worthington will be taking Paul Abbott for a look behind the scenes at The Magic Roundabout. So if you want to join in the fun - or just swap a copy of the Grange Hill ZX Spectrum game for a copy of We'll Help, Mr Rusty! - ring the show now!
You can get The Golden Age Of Children's TV in all good bookshops, and from Amazon here, Waterstones here or directly from Black And White Publishing here - and if you want to know more about what you can find in it, head for timworthington.org!
