Johnny Ball: Play School 'was a joy'

Former Play School presenter Johnny Ball discuses his time at ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Two and Play School that both turn 50 years old today.

On the launch of ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Two Ball says: "The night before there was a strike which meant the first programme that went out on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Two was Play School at 11am"

Ball also commented on the reaction to Play School "The response was incredible, the switch on was five million at one time."
