Hello Richard, I think I've cracked it. Here are some quotes from around the net: "Calico Pie, A live programme including songs, stories, and discussions with children, guests and celebrities in the studio." "In 1969 the partnership between Ian (Spike) Woods and Ed Bloomfield was formed, securing themselves with a regular spot on the BBC airwaves, with children's programmes such as Calico Pie, Hopscotch and Tumbleweed. Spike then went on to secure a secondment with BBC Radio Bristol, after which he was offered the position of acting Education producer." "As a member of the original crew all I can say is, no we weren’t stage school kids and yes we did come up with the name ourselves. Thanks to Patrick Dowling of Vision On for discovering us on the weekly live radio show, Calico Pie on Radio Bristol."
This is a BBC Radio Schools programme. I can't, at the moment, remember what the title of the series was. The Beeb used to make loads of these programmes for primary schools. Actually, there was a long-running programme called "Singing Together" - could be that. And considering where the interview took place: all three actors attended Marlow fete in summer 1975. I've photos of them there - in particular in Steve Cambden's book "The Doctor Affects". Tim
