Playboard
The 13 episodes always began by introducing the viewer to
Hedge and Mo who lived just outside the Playtent, a circus big top-style marquee that played host to entertainment provided by Max the Magician, Lily Kettle the ghost train operator, Winnie Wilson, the juggling family Bill, Arabella and Kathy Bright, Jo the clown and Shahid the snake charmer.
Hedge and Mo would watch as the performers set up the play tent for the day's main performance, and then the ensuing retelling of a well-known fairy story or folk tale as a song and dance extravaganza.
