CHILDRENS T.V. ROUNDABOUT

Next : Rentaset Van


NOTES In the mid-50's, B.B.C. childrens television started at 5pM, announced by a revolving musical roundabout decorated with various story-book characters with a cuckoo clock at its center.
The original figures were designed by Miss Dorothy Rogers, who later worked with Hobbies Weekly to produce a pattern to enable adults to craft a similar model that, apparently, "all children will want" (yeah, I bet they did).
