 "Play Away" Summary
 
[x] Remove Ad


'It really doesn't matter if it's raining or it's fine. Just as long as you've got time to P-L-A-Y Play, Play Away'. So went the theme song - certainly many a rainy 1970s Saturday afternoon was brightened up by this series. Play Away was intended as a Saturday Play School (BBC, 1964-88), made possible by revenue from overseas sales of the original format. Scheduled after BBC2's film matinee, it attracted a far wider audience by providing a welcome distraction for non-sports fans while Grandstand and World of Sport plied their trade on BBC1 and ITV.
