Who was your favourite Playschool presenter?

Question:I can't remember the name of my favourite presenter.. but he was black. Whenever I hear his voice still, it regresses me back to my childhood.

Any ideas?

I remember one really clearly where they made a train out of cardboard boxes it was so cool. TV in the early 80's was the best I also loved:

Floella Benjamin was just great!

I think I know who you mean. Derek.something. He did a lot of voice-over stuff too (Dark Towers and stuff)
the one and only Floella Benjamin
I think it may have been someone called Derek Griffiths
Brian Cant was my favourite.

I think you may be thinking of Derek Griffiths.

With Floella Benjamin a close second!

I liked Carol Leader and Chloe Ashcroft, although Brian Cant is the king of all of them!

I preferred Derek Griffiths singing Heads and Tails ;-)
Brian Cant was the best. I loved playaway too.
I loved Floella Benjamin as did everybody so it seems. If all this talk of Playschool has left you with a need to find out more, I'd suggest having a look at these! Great stuff!

Derek, since leaving Playschool, has been the voice of Superted and Tractor Tom, had parts in Holby and Porkpie on TV and more recently has been on stage in Beauty and The Beast and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in the West End.

Hope this helps and brings back happy memories!
