I would have been just six months old and in the pram at the time, so my first Christmas and New Year. Didn't watch the programme until 3-4 years later!
Julie was probably just as early a presenter as Brian Cant was. But unfortunately, she isn't really regarded amongst the greats such as Brian, Floella Benjamin, Johnny Ball, Derek Griffiths, Carol Chell or Chloe Ashcroft. Its a pity, since she started on the fifth week, and didn't leave the programme until 1978. Julie was actually the third most frequent presenter, with 600 editions. Just under Brian, who hosted 620 editions, and Carol, who actually did 763 editions.

@@newbeginnings-myeverydaylife Did you find it? Just type in "Polka Dot Door Finding Out Day" and skip to the end. The presenters, Denis and Cindy, I think, put the toys in a box shaped like a house before exiting through the titular door
