    "overview": "Let's Pretend was a 1980s children's television series aimed at preschool ages. It was shown across the ITV Network at 12.10 on Tuesdays, then later Mondays, replacing the popular Pipkins which had been cancelled at the end of 1981. Like its predecessor, each edition was fifteen minutes long, and the programme was produced using many of Pipkins' personnel such as puppeteer Nigel Plaskitt and producer Michael Jeans.\n\nEach week the presenters would find a number of ordinary household items and contrive to produce a short story featuring them all. The first programme, \"The Story Of The Broken Puppet\", was shown on Tuesday 5 January 1982 by Central Television. The show aired weekly until 1988.\n\nThe show's original opening titles featured items moving along a conveyor belt into the mouth of a large plastic whale, and later a puppet caterpillar moving along the screen.",
