Tuesday 15 of December, 9pm, BBC4 - Hop, Skip and Jump:The Story of Children At Play
Prior to the late 1950s, Britain's children largely played outside in the street. Today, it sometimes seems as if many never leave the house except under protest. What happened ? First, growing car ownership made the streets more dangerous. Then, the Moors murders terrified parents so that kids became closely supervised. With shows such as Crackerjack and Blue Peter, television began to exert a greater pull on children's time and attention. The concluding part of a two -part documentary tells what in some respects is a mournful story in fine fashion via a mix of archive footage and interviews.
