  Summer Jackanory

For the next twelve weeks, Jackanory will be on Fridays only. For the first seven Alan Bennett will be telling stories from The House at Pooh Corner.

In today’s story, Pooh and Piglet decide to build a home for their friend Eeyore – with rather surprising results!

The final episode listing stated “Next week: ‘The Witch’s Daughter’ by Nina Bawden” but this was postponed until 18th to 22nd November 1968.
     
0577 Tigger Comes to Breakfast 04:40pm-04:55pm Friday, 19th July 1968
  For the next few weeks Alan Bennett will be telling some stories from The House at Pooh Corner. Alan is a somewhat late convert to Poohsticks and Heffalumps – ‘I didn’t read the books till I was fourteen.’ He’s been busily engaged finding suitable voices for all the characters – Pooh is North Country and Owl is Donnish.

If you happen to be walking around humming quietly ‘the more it snows,’ the chances are that someone within earshot will add ‘tiddly pom’ for you. For the benefit of those of you who wouldn’t have added ‘tiddly pom’ that is the first line of one of Pooh’s better hums – such as is hummed hopefully to others... Pooh being Pooh Bear, hero(?) of A.A Milne’s world famous stories.
