Sarah Ward and former Welsh rugby player Cliff Morgan hosted this 30-minute magazine programme for 9 to 15-year-olds which debuted on Tuesday 4 July 1967.
The show was produced by the Rediffusion Network and aired twice weekly – on Tuesday and Friday afternoons.
Spike Milligan was a frequent guest on the show, and there were regular visits from musical acts (including The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, The Kinks and Pink Floyd). Other regular visitors included cartoonist Mel Calman and comedian Roddy Maude-Roxby.
Future Magpiepresenter Mick Robertson replaced Morgan towards the end of the final series.
