There's a bear in there, people with games, stories to tell and box of balloons with a featherlight touch


I was watching Play School today with my daughter - enjoying the crowd favorites: Incy Wincy Spider, Clap your Hands, Sing a Rainbow. For the finale, we got a piano accompanied sing-a-long version of Madness's House of Fun. Perhaps not entirely appropriate (not that she can understand the lyrics yet); more of a gentle reminder that I'm old and out of touch, and things aren't going to change :-).

I'm trying to recall if they had anything similar when I was watching it as a kid? I think I remember Little Ted and Humpty Dumpty on a cardboard barge floating down a crepe paper river chanting "no future". Then again, maybe it's my shoddy memory...
