Iconic songs and segments from the preschooler TV show Romper Room left a lasting impression on generations of children in Australia. Host Miss Helena and buzzy puppet Mr Do-Bee would be instantly recognisable to kids who grew up watching it in the 1980s.
Most anticipated was the part at the end of the show when Miss Helena would hold up a magic mirror to call out people's names she was ‘seeing’ in television land. It played well to have been gifted a popular name like John, Julie, Jimmy, Kelly or Troy. If your name was called out, it was truly a magical day!
