It’s more than 30 years since you were on Play School. Do you get annoyed when people still want to talk about it?
Not at all! My 12 years on the show [1976-88] are my legacy and I’m proud that we had such a lasting effect. Play School was the perfect show for young minds. I meet people every day who tell me how much it meant to them and how it changed their lives. It’ll probably get a mention on my tombstone… ‘Here lies Floella Benjamin. Yes, her from Play School’.
