Information from the Digital Archives on Dusty Bluebells. Apparently the film was shown on BBC NI TV last December 2008. http://www.digitalfilmarchive.net/dfa/browseDisplay.asp?id=293 http://www.playgroundfun.org.uk/GameRules.aspx?gameVersionID=43 Found a wonderful clip from this 1957 BFI Film & yes I remember playing all these back then: we had the Coram's Fields Foundling Hospital Playground in Bloomsbury to run wild in ~ no adult admitted unless accompanied by a child was the sign at the entrance! "Filmed over a 12-month period, this study of children's games played in London streets and playgrounds stands out for its freshness and spontaneity; it remains an important companion piece to Peter and Iona Opie's classic studies of children's games and rhymes." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DrGijdmBqU
