I think its about time that I let you all in on the next entry I wish to put into review.

I like this

it reminds me that i fyou want to fulfil your dreams you've still got to work hard

I remember growing up with Playschool and OPlayaway and Floella was a great teacher. Making me feel less left out at school,being one of only four in my year, and realising that there's a whole world to discover.

Nice entry

mamuomar

Another good entry.

I remember Play School and Playaway

Just a point, the original second doll was Hamble in the 70s. Poppy arrived during the 80s.

loonycat

That's a good point I shall footnote it.

Floella was interviewed on the Chelsea Flower Show last night. She looked exactly the same, hadn't changed a bit

damn missed it

That's a 29m programme, fast-scroll to 25m

Do you think I should work her passion for flowers into my entry? I like the saying 'You're just a big kid you are'.

Just realised that this clip on IPlayer may not be around in weeks to come so is it worth saying that quote? or anything on flowers?

You don't have to link to the clip, you can just type what you want to say.

I thought you had to back everything up.

confused opti

I've seen the programme. I'll back you up

tis done

During an interview, at the show in 2008, carried out by the BBC with her and friend Lesley. She said that she adored the place and liked the gardens created by children. Lesley said: You are just an old kid. to which she replied I know.

GB

I meant the speech marks *instead of* the italic tags which looks odd mid-sentence. Just remove the and tags, and I'll read it again

they've vanished

I like this, Opti - she's a fascinating lady and well worth a guide entry.

Nitpicks:

Is advocate the right word? ambassador, maybe? I'm not sure.

I blame the cameraman

first pregnant television presenter, maybe?
