I can't remember the name of my favourite presenter.. but he was black. Whenever I hear his voice still, it regresses me back to my childhood.

Any ideas?

    you must first leave childhood to be brought back to it.

  5. I loved Floella Benjamin as did everybody so it seems. If all this talk of Playschool has left you with a need to find out more, I'd suggest having a look at these! Great stuff!

    and for the Derek Griffiths fans out there....

    Derek, since leaving Playschool, has been the voice of Superted and Tractor Tom, had parts in Holby and Porkpie on TV and more recently has been on stage in Beauty and The Beast and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the West End.

    Hope this helps and brings back happy memories!

  6. I remember one really clearly where they made a train out of cardboard boxes it was so cool. TV in the early 80's was the best I also loved:
