89 Cabbages and Kings




First  watched  : 1972

There's  not  much  on  the  'net  to  stir  up  memories  of  this  second  Play  School  spin-off   led  by  Johnny  Ball  but  also  featuring   Derek  Griffiths  and  Julie  Stevens.  Each  episode  was  basically  a  half  hour  Crackerjack  - style  comedy  sketch  loosely  based  on  historical  events . It  lasted  for  three  series. The  first  two  in  1972  and  1973  had  just  three  episodes  while  the  final  one  in  1974  had  a  more  generous  five. Despite  my  later  interest  in  history  I  don't  remember  this  as  being  much  cop  unfortunately.
