P

British children's television series produced by the BBC which ran from April 21, 1964 until March 11, 1988, aimed at preschool children. It was the first programme shown on BBC2's launch day. 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. From 1971 to 1984, Play School also had a sister programme called Play Away.
