This may seem an odd one to post on a Star Wars site, but we promise you there’s a connection. On 18th May 1982, Andy Secombe appeared on Play School, the classic BBC childrens TV series that ran from 1964 to 1988 and a decade ago he was present for the 50th anniversary reunion at the Riverside Studios. With the show celebrating 60 years since its debit on 21st April 1964, here is that video.
150 guests were welcomed at the Riverside Studios, where Play School began in 1964. 10 years on, this video has been released on YouTube to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the much loved programme. With thanks to everyone who took part, including those participants who are no longer with us.
