Children's Hour
BBC Radio was once the entertainment of choice for the British public back-in-the-day. As it is today, long before the Tweenies and In the Night Garden, part of the BBC's output was directed at the nation's children in an hour long programme entitled, creatively, "Children's Hour". Bishop & Stonier produced nursery ware to tap into the affection for the programme and these pieces are now very collectible for Bisto and nursery ware fans. I have not found any other factories making baby plates which commemorate this radio programme so perhaps Bisto were specially commissioned by the BBC to produce the range? Who knows.

- Sometimes, life doesn't turn out the way you expected. And sometimes, it is exactly as it was 'meant' to be. I believe that life is a both a learning experience and an obstacle course to be climbed and clambered over in the most creative way possible! In doing so, you'll get to where you should be even if it's not where you'd imagined.

I like these very much: the colours are lovely and the effect is sweet without being too cloying.

a retail price for the childrens hour baby plate would currently (jan 2014) be around £40.
