I have just looked back at my last couple of posts. I’ve been grumpy this week. Sorry about that.

This story at least brought me some joy, and a little sadness.

I was born in the ’70s, and still have vivid memories of Play School.

And the Play School clock, now unearthed, taught me how to tell the time.

But the most shocking revelation from the story is that Little Ted is dead.

Missing is Little Ted.

The bear’s head was blown off in an explosion on the last day of filming. Former presenter Jacqui Dean, now a National MP but then known as Jacqui Hay, was quick to deny any responsibility for Little Ted’s fate this week.

“I had nothing to do with it.”

Who is responsible for this dastardly deed?

Teddy-Gate deserves a full public enquiry.
