Not quite playschool windows but the Mr Moon opening to Luna Park fairground in St Kilda. An iconic, historic part of Melbourne's history with a similar Luna Park in Sydney. I must confess to never having been inside!

Árný Lilja is starting playschool next week.
Today she got the idea that it was necessary to ask for whiskey and cigars when visiting people, she also told me she wants to bring some to playschool.
I dont think she has ever seen whiskey or a cigar though, she was perfectly happy with water in a small glass which we called whiskey.

Intentional camera movement photography is fun, or at least it is the way I treat it. That’s why I tend to call it wobbly camera photography - it just sounds more fun.
The more that I have been playing with the approach for this year’s 100x project, the more I have come to see it as a form of painting: the scene is the paint, the sensor the canvas, and the camera the brush.
Now, I was never much good at art painting. But I do remember having a lot of fun with paints and brushes, especially when I was too young to care what people thought. There’s a hidden Jackson Pollock in me I think - he obviously had a lot of fun (though he was rather a tortured soul too I think - that’s not part of my story!).
So here is today’s wobbly offering. It’s Macro Wednesday but I am having a lot of trouble with macro wobblies, so I’m giving you this picture of nothing much instead (it’s a tree canopy on a bright day if you need to know lol), just because it’s fun (and pretty). It reminds me of those early days when mess was good :)
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy pretty much nothing. Happy 100x
Today the sun is shining
What fun our mum’s have seen

I took a few photos in the Portsmouth City Museum (I'm not sure if I was supposed to!), where they are holding an exhibition called 'The Story of Children's Television'. This is Humpty Dumpty from Playschool, a children's programme I grew up with! I also enjoyed watching Mary, Mungo and Midge!! This is my era!!
I wonder what your oldest childhood TV memories are? I guess mine are the Woodentops, Andy Pandy and Pogle's Wood!
Play School is a British children's television series produced by the BBC which ran from 21 April 1964 until 14 October 1988. Devised by Joy Whitby, it accidentally became the first programme to be shown on the fledgling BBC2 after a power cut halted the opening night's programming (and later it became the first children's programme to be shown in colour by that channel). Play School originally appeared on weekdays at 11am on BBC2 and later acquired a mid-afternoon BBC1 repeat. The morning showing was transferred to BBC1 in September 1983 when BBC Schools programming transferred to BBC2. It remained in that slot even after daytime television was launched in October 1986 and continued to be broadcast at that time until it was superseded in October 1988 by Playbus, which soon became Playdays.
Mary, Mungo and Midge was a British animated children's television series, created by John Ryan and produced by the BBC in 1969.
The show featured the adventures of a girl called Mary, her dog Mungo, and her pet mouse Midge, who lived in a tower block in a busy town. BBC newsreader Richard Baker narrated the episodes, with John Ryan's daughter Isabel playing Mary. The theme tune and other music for the series was provided by Johnny Pearson.
This show was one of the first children's shows in the UK to reflect urban living. The programme showed Mary having adventures in a busy town, as opposed to in a wood, forest or other rural setting. The two featured animals were likely to be familiar to town dwellers, as opposed to the array of talking wildlife usually seen in children's television.
In each episode, the three of them would descend in the lift from their flat in the tower block. After their adventures they would return home, Midge would press the button for the lift back to the correct floor, by standing on Mungo's nose.

Last weekend we visited the National Media Museum in Bradford.
On display were the original toys used in 'Playschool' - a hugely popular BBC TV programme in the 1960s and early 70s. I remember it well.
These were the 5 toys who made regular appearances in Playschool, along with the familiar round, square and arched windows you can see in the background (for some reason when the arched window was chosen I always felt mildly disappointed... but i digress)
So, from the right we have...
Big Ted - rather "stodgy", but a great favourite with Eric Morecambe, who used to visit the toys when working in a nearby studio. The Original Big Ted was stolen. A replacement was found, but the original Ted was never seen again.
Little Ted - often overshadowed, but a good sort. I thought he was similar to my own (one-eyed) Ted, but he wasn't.
Centre-Stage as ever we have Humpty, an oversized home-made-looking green egg thing - Harris thought he was "a bit rumbustious", and rather prone to falling over. I liked Humpty - he felt safe and familiar.
Jemima the rag doll - "An empty headed bimbette" according to Fred Harris (one of the original presenters). Personally I could never relate to her and she was the only one whose name i can't remember after 44 years.
Finally there was Hamble the doll - the hate figure of the under-fives for the entire run of the programme. Nobody liked Hamble, myself included. The doll pictured is not the original Hamble and it is easy to see why:
Although it was originally a very common type of doll, sold in Woolworths, by the time Play School was in full flow there were only two Hambles in Britain. The other was owned by a woman in Chester, who would hire it to the BBC for £40 a week whenever the Play School regular was injured, which seemed to happen with some frequency to all accounts.
It wasn't just the audience who detested Hamble. None of the presenters could stand her either, so she'd get drop kicked across the studio, and once, when she wouldn't behave, presenter Chloe Ashcroft "...did a terrible thing to Hamble. She just would not sit up...so one day I got a very big knitting needle, a bit wooden one, and I stuck it right up her bum, as far as her head. So she was completely rigid, and she was much much better after that."
Hamble was the only toy not to make it through to the end, being replaced by black doll Poppy in an 80s attempt to be more inclusive.
Fond memories.

By Playschool plays music. With two modes to choose from, kids can go fast or slow, whirling and twirling to the sounds of six rockin’ tunes! Press any of the 4 red buttons on the top of the wheel to activate the music. Someone didn't want it so they took it to Kent Recycle Center in Carmel, New York and it can be yours free!
