Good to know
Watch series 1 to 9 in TX order, then Winter Adventure. Start with the 1988 Playbus launch, continue through the 1992 Roundabout switch and the 1995 Poppy house switch, then finish the 1997 run. Weekday Stops can be sampled alone, but keep series order for presenter and song changes. The 1174 count is canonical against partial IMDb listings.
