BBC SCHOOLS - GOING TO WORK: Practical Work (TX 08/10/84)

[@MisunderstoodMisanthrope]

Unexpected treat to hear a version of Ennio Morricone's music for Once Upon a Time in the West before the programme!

[@ajs41]

They used to repeat these shows many times, so that a show recorded in 1980 was still being shown in 1986 or 1987. A few years later they would only show programmes that were recently recorded.

Of course this was when schools had gone to BBC2 as Daytime on Two; as it had done from September 1983 onwards. Prior to that of course, schools had been on BBC1 up until June 1983 at the time. Although of course as here, they still showed the same series really too. Thank you!
