Why?
Amanda BowerHOST
Michael Rosen, who's a pretty famous children's poet, has spent a lot of time thinking about this question of why Roald Dahl's books are so beloved by kids and adults, and-
Bryce CorbettHOST
Mm-hmm
Amanda BowerHOST
... he's got some pretty convincing reasons.
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
And it came from not even a joke, it's just a very lame thing.
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
And so often I hear about, in fact, I think Michael Rosen, the fantastic poet and linguist and word-of-mouth presenter, says, I think he's done a whole episode on phrases or words that have become garbled over time.
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
And I think there is some nod to the fact that some of them are done in a deliberate tongue-in-cheek way, like...
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
Grace Church Street came from Grace Church Street, and there was knowledge about what it was in the first place.
Jane SetterGUEST
If it's indicating that you've not finished, you may use that kind of rise.
Jane SetterGUEST
So I'm sitting here at the moment with Michael Rosen and we're just about to make a programme.

Jane SetterGUEST

Jane SetterGUEST
Yeah.
Jane SetterGUEST

Can you describe it to the listener?
Dean AttaGUEST
So The Black Flamingo is the story of Michael, a mixed race boy who's growing up in London and then goes to university in Brighton.
Dean AttaGUEST
And at university, he joins the drag society and becomes the Black Flamingo as his drag alter ego.
Dean AttaGUEST
through the story before uni he actually has a sighting of a black flamingo when visiting family in cyprus and that image kind of stays with him so when he has that opportunity to do drag that immediately is the the the persona he wants to adopt and and yeah it's a really fun kind of coming of age story and a drag queen origin story
19 MINS LATER
Dean AttaGUEST
So I've got the grand ambition to have something for every age group.
Dean AttaGUEST
And I think I've already achieved that.
Dean AttaGUEST
And I think that's inspired by, you know, some of my heroes, like Michael Rosen is one of my big heroes.
Dean AttaGUEST
And I just love how he can write for all ages, write about, you know, all sorts of topics.

It's so important to recognize the achievements of such TV pioneers, so thanks to the two of you for doing just that.
Samira AhmedHOST
Listening was both a touching and life-affirming experience." Well, well, Joy Whitby, uh, Graham, has also told us that she's had lovely emails from fans of the show, and Michael Rosen got in touch to say he worked as a producer on Play School himself a few years later after Joy set it up.
Samira AhmedHOST
She set it up, of course, in '64.
Samira AhmedHOST
