Look and Read was the ultimate! I remember actually looking forward to that half-hour of pure enjoyment every single week at my junior school.
i have just one queiry though, does anyone remember the name of the L+R presenter that later went on to appear in the rather cheap late-night TV soap, REVELATIONS, whcih was about a adulterous vicar and his familys' exploits?
Im sure she had ginger hair,and was really rather attractive (even though I was only 7 at the time!!)
For my money that would've been Margo Gunn as Jane Miles in Badger Girl...
Best L&R presenter of the lot I reckon is probably Jack Dunbar in The King's Dragon - best at talking straight to the viewer, though of course he had the advantage of never having to bother talking to Wordy. Best at working with Wordy was Jenny Jackson in Dark Towers - she at least managed to tell him off when necessary!
