Watch With Mother
''Watch with Mother'' was a cycle of children's programmes created by Freda Lingstrom and Maria Bird. Broadcast by BBC Television from 1952 until 1975, it was the first BBC television series aimed specifically at pre-school children, a development of BBC radio's equivalent ''Listen with Mother'', which had begun two years earlier. In accordance with its intended target audience of pre-school children viewing with their mothers, ''Watch with Mother'' was initially broadcast between 3:45 pm and 4:00 pm, post-afternoon nap and before the older children came home from school. The choice of ''Watch with Mother'' for the title of the series was intended "to deflect fears that television might become a nursemaid to children and encourage bad mothering". Show cycles Although ''Andy Pandy'' had been regularly broadcast every week since mid-1950 (normally on Tuesdays), and was joined by ''Flower Pot Men'' in December 1952 (normally on Wednesdays), the name ''Watch with Mother'' ...

Picture Book (TV Series)
''Picture Book'' is a BBC children's TV series created by Freda Lingstrom, first broadcast in 1955. It was the Monday programme in the ''Watch with Mother'' cycle. Initially introduced by Patricia Driscoll, the programme encouraged children to make things; Driscoll's catch phrase was "Do you think you could do this? – I am sure you could if you tried". She left the programme in 1957 to play the part of Maid Marian in the ITV series ''The Adventures of Robin Hood''. Patricia Driscoll's episodes were repeated until 1963 and was replaced by a new series of episodes with Vera McKechnie. The programme ran until December 1965 and replaced in the Monday slot by Camberwick Green in January 1966. The show's opening theme tune was Badinerie, the final movement of Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor. Each Monday, Driscoll or McKechnie would open the Picture Book at a relevant page. Sometimes it would be shown to the camera at a distance, making the pages' co ...
