Play School, you get a gold star from me.

If you're Australian, then it's pretty safe to say that you spent your entire childhood watching Play School.

You'll remember the iconic theme song, of course, as well as your favourite crew of stuffed toys.

Big Ted and Scrap were my faves.

And there's no forgetting all the presenters who you loved and potentially had a crush on.
