I really regret hearing this. I've scoffed and ridiculed it as much as anyone. But the tune has been going around my head all the time and I find myself humming it. It's like some hideous neurological brain disease or a parasite that eats away your cerebelum from the inside out!
Tony, Tony, Tony; I bet yer dun wanna let Phil see thart does yer - 'ee might have a frakin' larf at u wun'ee-be-flip; not quite yer 'ole in the ground wi' anglo or stone-age or roman be it?
This is a great cover of a cool Rolf Harris song by a team of childrens presenters who actually in those days educated children to respect parents, teachers & others. Unlike now where they all run riot because of (political correctness). Bring back the cane in schools & corprall punnishment.
Play Away was YEARS ahead of it's audience and it's time. Absolutely brilliant. And if anyone wants to criticise Brian Cant, they can bloody well see me outside.
Well - I absolutely loved Play Away - actually wrote to Jim'll Fix it to be in an episode of Play Away with Brian Cant - is this sad or a sign that I was a child genius - having realised that he was a genius? Anybody remember his 'dry bath' routine adding hot water to a tepid bath??!
Did they expect the children to follow along to this? And they probably could follow along. Now they wouldn't expect so much from the kids... They don't even teach the alphabet any more.
@Nightjourney90210 actually yes. I knew this song in its entirety as a young child as did most of my friends. King Caractacus was/is a classic. It is like "My Darling Clementine" for U.S. children.
@Nightjourney90210 actually yes. I knew this song in its entirety as a young child as did most of my friends. King Caractacus was/is a classic. It is like "My Darling Clementine" for U.S. children.
Back in the days when Children's TV presenters actually spoke to their viewers, (children), as children. What do kids have now? Teenagers or ealy 20-somethings straight out of, 'drama school', who have trouble stringing together a coherent sentence, taking to the viewers like someone they drink with down the local pub!
Pure camp. I was actually looking for a clip containing the theme song from the show 'Julia' (pursuant to a conversation I was having with my sister) when I stumbled across this. I don't remember this show at all, but the sketch is fun, fun, fun!
What fabulous memories. Playaway was a staple in our house... hee hee..... I also remember Rolf Harris singing and I had to slow the 'Record down' just to work out what was being sung... Love it love it... jolly good clean fun... :0)x
If I tried for the rest of my life to sing this, I couldn't. Amazing. Such talented people. Might not be to everyones taste, but it is an amazing thing to do. Brilliant.
@fletch61 Back atcha! 'Playaway' was indeed most amusing for us adults (and it got even better after a couple of good tokes, too). Brian Cant and co could get pretty daft at times but the humour was often surreal and they never talked down to the audience. One of those shows kids could watch with their parents and they'd both get something out of it.
Want to take the piss out of the flatulating witches who put irritating itches up the snatches of the poofs who put the powder up the noses on the faces of the arses on the programme with the loony Brian Cunticus
@1485x Rold Harris did some lyrics for it with the title "The Court of King Caractacus" Youtube wont let me post the website address, but just Google for that title.
@TheMekon ...zoooom....... My comment obviously went right over your head.....There is and R in "class" when posh people pronounce it.......as in ARSE.
Oh my god loving Tony Robinsonhere! Before he did the lovelyMaid Marian and his merry men and storyworld for channel four schools(remember that?) and JulieStevens sang the songs with Derek Griffiths ( Playschool man) in BBC schools Look and Read series and stories!
Back in the old days, when Dick & Dom were glints in the milkman's eye, Brian Cant dominated the 70's children's television with full gusto. He later married Fern BRitton's sister Cherry .
These was another quality show for children back in the days when the BBC was a decent broadcaster with first class producers. Nothing like the trash now.
This was a time when middle aged men run the programming and you know what? It was so much better. Now we have trendy liberal types straight from uni who havent got a clue about childrens programs and are far too concered with their wacky political agenda...
thats so true, kids presenters today are all gits! they probably dont even like kids anyway. brian cant and co all specialised in kids entertainment and did it with passion and integrity. this lot today are faker than jordans tits
Thats like the old presenters of Play School (here in Aust at least!) they all had to be trained in early education, unlike these days were you have to be a second rate actor!
Here here! BUT even better if you are a crap badly animated crappy CGI cartoon with crappy bright coloured rubbishy nondescript characters today's programmes that treat children like idiots and are REALLY just to sell toys and branding and push the pester power are just cynical mass produced rubbish
Absolutely brilliant, when kids programmes were actually FUN, and there wasn't an "agenda" or any of this PC nonsense. Also nice to see Baldrick, aged 10, and what a great haircut he had. I remember this being on, and watching it, and trying to sing the song. And NO scouse accents or wacky regional dialects on show anywhere.

Toni Arthur, Brian Cant, Floella Benjamin, Carol Leader, Fred Harris and all the others, still remembered, still loved.
Can you honestly say that the screaming maniacs that pass for children's TV presenters nowadays will still be remembered in 25 months, let alone 25 years?
would kids get this today?

@MonsterMozz Anyway I'm done replying to you, you simply aren't worth my time. 19 people agree with me, I bet that grates on your nerves, I'm glad. Don't bother replying again - your nonsense wont be read :-)

??????? Political agenda?
Most Childrens TV I've seen recently has been faster than lightning japanese imports. The only agenda I can see is to induce epilepsy!

@Jeet27 And yet another dick drags politics into an unrelated thread. GG, dick. Top marks on your dickishness.

@Jeet27 Middle aged men still run programming, it's just they're liberals now (liberalism isn't wacky)

@Jeet27 I know what you mean, Teletubbies is insidious isn't it?

@Jeet27 Indeed.
Toni Arthur, Brian Cant, Floella Benjamin, Carol Leader, Fred Harris and all the others, still remembered, still loved.
Can you honestly say that the screaming maniacs that pass for children's TV presenters nowadays will still be remembered in 25 months, let alone 25 years?

@vagabondicus Fred Harris the maths and computer wizz, he was great.
How did kids TV go from this to Ant and Dec, Teletubbies and other crap.
