Playschool was the first programme actually seen on BBC 2 (the next day)
due to the power cut on the official opening night.


Ruggish - I was there, we ran the network from Alexandra Palace, can't
remember prezactly what went out, news, come dancing; at times it came to
pulling out bits of macaroni and seeing what picture went off the telly.

But it *did* start on the night, it's just that the stalinist BBC
airbrushed it out of history.
