Time and Tune was a BBC Schools radio series which ran for a remarkable 67 years, from 1951 until 2018.

Pupil pamphlets were produced for every series.

The Ahlbergs' Legacy
When your work makes people smile...
When your work makes people say "Again!"...
When your work leads to a love of words & language & books...
When your work sparks creativity...
When your work warms hearts, in classrooms and homes...
It's a legacy of joy.
