Playschool features in the 'mystery year' 1964 and there is a terrific 'fab 5'

Late night music in the 'mystery year, 'fab 5','tenuous tunes' and Robbie`s music box.

Wednesday`s 'mystery year' goes back 46 years to 1964 when Playschool made its debut starring its five famous toys - Jemima the rag doll, Humpty, Big Ted and Little Ted – but what or who was the fifth toy?

Answer: Hamble the doll.

Roller Robbie`s music box clue tonight is played on a 'Kazoo' and is In the Summertime
by Mungo Jerry.

Our 'tenuous tunes' tonight are songs to do with 'prisons' linked to on this day in 1934 when Alcatraz, in San Francisco Bay, received federal prisoners for the very first time.
