BBC Play School Presenters 'Smoked Huge Cannabis Joint' Before

[kiwi_farmer]

Presenters from the hit BBC children's show Play School often went on air stoned a new BBC documentary has revealed.

Rick Jones and Lionel Morton were able to go in front of the camera stoned after smoking "the biggest joint you've ever seen" because bosses at the BBC turned a blind eye in the 70's, Johnny Ball claims in the tell-all documentary.

Former BBC Play School presenters have revealed that they often went on-air stoned

 

 

The disclosures are made in Tales of Television Centre due, to air on May 17 on BBC Four, which uncovers just how drugs and sex were able to spill onto the nativity scene.

Ex-presenter Johnny Ball said: "There was Rick Jones, Lionel Morton and myself. They got stoned on the biggest joint you've ever seen - in the studio. We were in silhouette as the three shepherds with our crooks. Lionel purposely held his crook so the crook didn't show.

"They were absolutely stoned out of their minds. So when we recorded, who cocked his lines up? Me."

During the programme, it is also revealed that at one point Sir David Attenborough even complained about corridors at the TV Centre reeked of cannabis and the fact that people were "bonking all over the place".

Now that I think about it, it would make presenting that show to kids a bit easier, and with the innocence of kids, how many of them are going to know you're smashed just 'cos you're playing with Big Ted and Jemimah?

 

I'd like to see the size of this joint though
