The programme in which she was best known in UK was The Five O'clock Club (in those days children's programmes occurred only between 5 and 6 o'clock!) where she appeared with an ex skiffle player and occasional folksinger called Wally Whyton, a guitarist called Bert Weedon who sold millions of books all with titles like Learn To Play The Guitar In Two And A Half Hours, and two glove puppets called Pussycat Willum and Olly Beak. It constituted one of the few children's programmes with any kind of folk content, though much inferior to the wonderful Dance and Skylark which had the Spinners and Stan Hugill.
