Friday Flashback: Play School

When First Day teacher Brenna Harding was a kid in Play School's "Two Mums" segment.

In recognition of First Day screening this week, I thought it was worth a look back to 2004 when Play School featured its “Two Mums” segment.

A young Brenna Harding was a child in the segment, which screened as part of the Through the Windows look into a contemporary world.

It was deemed controversial at the time with Communications Minister, Daryl Williams calling ABC managing director, Russell Balding, to “express his concern” and then-Health Minister Tony Abbott saying he would be shocked if any of his daughters had seen it.

18 years later actor Brenna Harding now plays a school teacher in First Day‘s story of a transgender student, played by Evie Macdonald.

Coming full circle, of sorts, with no need to call the ABC boss….
