We need a little cheering up….
This week Today Extra chatted with Helena Bailey, known as “Miss Helena” on Seven’s Romper Room.
“Miss Helena” was one of several hosts on the kids’ show which actually ran on Seven from 1963 – 1988.
Others included Miss Susan (Susan Jamieson), Miss Patricia (Patricia Godfrey-Cash), Miss Colleen, Miss Nancy, and Miss Megan (Megan Sjoquist).
There were also several local editions on NBN Newcastle, SAS-10 Adelaide, and ATV-0 Melbourne.

Owly school was my all time favourite
Great memories
On one occasion when I was floor-managing the SAS10 Adelaide edition, I forgot to turn over the cue card with the names for the magic mirror. It was only when Michele started calling the names of the crew that I realised and flipped it!!!
Cute memory.
Brisbane had a local version too
yup was on the Brisbane version back a long time ago. Miss Patrica did the Brisbane version before she went national.
I think I had a crush on Miss Helena at the age of 6 or 7 or 8. She still looks remarkably well
Ahh memories. I was on the show. Unfortunately I dropped the tray of milk I was carrying … oops 🙂
As long as you didn’t let your basket fall 🙂
