Redirected from Playschool (UK TV series)). Play School is a British children's television series produced by BBC2 (1964–1983) and later on BBC1 (1983–1988) which ran from 21 April 1964 until 11 March 1988 (repeats until 14 October 1988). It was created by Joy Whitby. Play School originally appeared on weekdays at 11 am on BBC2 and later acquired a mid-afternoon BBC1 repeat as the opening programme of BBC1's teatime children's schedule.

Floella Benjamin, who also performed in Play School, said Cant was "comedy genius". She told BBC News: "He was totally devoted to making children happy - he introduced children to comedy with zany jokes and his funny sketches. Baroness Benjamin, who joined Play School in 1976, said she loved working with Cant. We bounced off one another, we thought of new ideas of things to do," she said.

Johnny Ball, who starred on Play Away, told BBC Radio 5 live that Cant was "the kingpin" of the programme, adding: "Brian was a mainstay. He did Trumpton and all the other voice-overs - and it was an absolutely wonderful age, wonderful period.
