Programme Outline
Do you remember Jimmy, the friendly big doll in “What’s the Magic Word?” and “Where’s the
Frog?”? What is Jimmy doing in “One White Sock, One Yellow Sock”? He is helping Miss
Woodhouse to put some clothes on the clothes line. What clothes has Miss Woodhouse got on the
line? Let’s have a look. She has got a hat, a T-shirt, a dress, a scarf, a pair of gloves, a pair of
socks… and another pair of socks! What are their colours? Jimmy would like the children to tell
him the answer while watching the programme. On the clothes line, there are: a red hat, a blue
T-shirt, a pink dress, a green scarf, a pair of black gloves, a pair of white socks and a pair of
yellow socks. When Jimmy and Miss Woodhouse are having tea, some animals suddenly come
into the garden. Oh, no, the clothes line has been snapped down on the ground by a goat, a duck
and a pig. When Miss Woodhouse comes out to stop them it is too late! They are playing and
running after each other. The pig has a green scarf fallen on his neck. The duck has a yellow
sock over its head. The goat has a red hat on his horn. When they see Miss Woodhouse and
Jimmy, they run away! Where are they going? How can Miss Woodhouse and Jimmy get back the
clothes? The duck has got the yellow sock, where is the white sock? Let’s find out.
