Playdays

Playdays (known as Playbus until 25 December 1989) was a children's television programme from the United Kingdom. It was broadcast between 1988 and 1997 on the BBC, and continues to be aired in repeats. The show was the successor of Play School, and, like its predecessor, was designed as an educational programme.

The main characters of Playdays were puppets Why Bird (voiced by Ellie Darville), Peggy Patch (Sally Preisig) and Poppy. One of the main human presenters of the show was Zoë Ball; in addition, Patsy Byrne played Betty the Tea Lady. The show would begin with the Playdays bus driving along to the tune of the theme song until it reached the bus stop. The bus stopped at a different place each day: the Why Bird Stop, Dot Stop, Roundabout Stop, Patch Stop and Tent Stop, with later editions replacing the Dot Stop with the Playground Stop and the Tent Stop with the Poppy Stop.
