The Golden Age Of Children's TV - "BBC Controlled Anarchy"

from Looks Unfamiliar · host Podnose

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. Estelle Hargraves will be getting into gear and hitting the street to tell us why No. 73 was less chaotic than some actual shared houses she's lived in, live on-air snake bites and all. Gabby Hutchinson Crouch would like to hear from anyone with a hot tip on a story for the Junior Gazette in Press Gang, and she's especially keen to hear from Colin. Jonny Morris will be showing us how, despite Chas'n'Dave's promise in the theme lyrics to 'catch you out', you can win at Crackerjack! (CRACKERJACK!) by cheating. Mic Wright is heading off Around The World With Willy Fog, and Garreth Hirons has a more serious message to impart about why you shouldn't open that Trap Door. So if you want to join in the fun - or just swap a copy of The Richard Stilgoe Letters for a boxed Camberwick Green Village Playset - ring the show now!You can get The Golden Age Of Children's TV in all good bookshops, from Waterstones here, Amazon here, from the Kindle Store here and 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!
