For all the kids out there; years ago the morning TV was dedicated to schools programming. I've been trying to think of some. One I can remember was "PIcture Box", any more?
The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved

    'Legend of the Lost keys' one of the Look and Read series, is still used in my school now. The kids love it, hammy acting, dodgy songs and all.

    I remember being 'poorly' and watching the programs aimed at apprentices in engineering and suchlike, all about how to use a lathe and the cutting angles.

    Another favourite were the "trade test transmissions", little programs which just used to appear instead of the test card at around 2pm. I was told at the time that they were for the TV engineers to be able to tune in TVs properly, but now I think it was more likely that they were there to give TV shops something other than the test card. We'd get 15 minute documentaries, about things like building a coracle or how tins were filled with beans. :roll:

    But I can't remember at all, the ones I was shown whilst at school.


    The older I get, the better I was.
