The 2022 Big Finish music video ♬♪ All of time and space is a happy place... ♪♫, promoting Water Worlds, is an overt pastiche of the 1960s and 1970s BBC1 Play School openings. It begins with "A box... that is blue. Windows: one, two. Ready to swing? Let's all sing."
As well as matching the concept and visuals from classic Play School, the whole video is run through a filter to make it resemble an old, worn out VHS recording.
