Matt Lucas has a special talent for finding amazing forgotten YouTube videos to share with his followers each day – among many other talents, obviously.
He recently unearthed this piece of TV history from the children’s TV show Play Away.

It got tweeters going on a jaunt down memory lane, causing the wonderful Brian Cant to trend for two days. Here are some of the top responses.
My wonderful brother in law Brian Cant, with my landlord in the 80’s Maestro Jonathan Cohen on piano and Sir Tony Robinson . In a classic clip from #BBC2 PlayAway! Give me a P.
Thankyou @RealMattLucas

You need to watch this.
As children, it made us smiley and happy.
But the rehearsal and rehearsal and rehearsal that went into this is rarely appreciated. Perhaps @Tony_Robinson might remember how many takes there were?!
Fond memories of Brian Cant (we shared the same GP). RIP. https://t.co/EsbOyKtlKC— Adrian Hilton (@Adrian_Hilton) March 12, 2022
Ah. Playaway- the only child TV programme which could hold it's own against the mighty Playschool.
This was peak child TV.
Did not realise that Baldrick helped out too. Mind blown.
