@@sillygoose635 Educational programmes for kids are better uses for TV time, which back then was still limited, than filler for morons and repeats of DIY shows and cooking shows which were mostly rubbish anyway.
I find it funny how, for 1987 at least, the itv schools on channel 4 ident looks absolute cutting edge while the titles to the actual programmes look like they're stuck in 1981!
This is fantastic material. I remember going into the school library to watch these programs back in the 1980s, Mrs Occleston in 1989, mrs Carr in 1988 and Mrs Rankin in 1987. I also remember Pifco Lights on the main hall Christmas tree at Christmas. Pifco lights are now long gone :(
I remember a lot of videos I saw when I was at school were from the 80s. I was at school from 1992 to 2005 but even towards the end of my school life 80s school videos were shown.
First day of ITV schools programmes without frontcaps! A sad day, even with all the shiny new graphics. The ITV network would follow suit four months later.
ccateni 28 Before 1988 I think, ITV franchises would introduce the programmes that they made for the network with their ident before the titles of the programme would start. So for Environments it would of had the iconic Thames Television ident come up before it started. From 1988 onwards this no longer was a thing and just the production end cap came up at the end instead, in 1989 it was “ A Thames Television production for ITV “ at the end of their programmes, with their logo above it.
Oracle in-vision were shown on Channel 4 prior to the start of schools transmission on Monday 14th September 1987 and what I recall was that they faded out dead on 09:27 because the ITV Schools rotor blocks would be on the screen at 09:28 and the countdown clock at 09:29.
That first day, it wasn't quite faded out. The Oracle in vision pages crashed out at 09:27. Normally, in the last 15 minutes prior to the first programme of the day on C4, it would be ETP-1 with testcard and music, which was then faded out. But, at least on this historic first day, it was Oracle, which, as I said, crashed out at 09:27, with a minute of black until 09:27;57, when the Journey began!
@@ClydebridgeStation Very unusually for Channel 4 a film was actually transmitted at 12.00pm that day after schools programmes, but Just 4 Fun, Business Daily and the Open College all started a week later.
@@vhayes2257 Because it was on Channel 4. Programmes on there didn't carry frontcaps as many of the independent companies making programmes for Channel 4 didn't even have a logo to make a frontcap or ident.
Also I cant help but notice during the Junior Maths interval in particular that the picture shakes up and down on both the Journey and Just A Minute parts but the programme title captions stay still...
Gavin Martin If it was the tape the entire image including the titles would be shaking, watch the video between 8:44 and 8:53 and its clear that the ITV schools animation shakes but the Junior Maths captions do not.
What was the point of the countdown clock when there was also an "advert" for Teachers Notes etc. before the programme started? I thought it was so teachers could start the VCR as the programme starts without wasting any tape...
The 60 second clock was also for schools teachers to calm down the destructed Class Student before programme started, I remember one of my school mate playing up in the class room and was told to be quiet.
Apart from what's already been said, essentially the reason was to allow for one age-group of viewers to clear out from the area of whatever school they were watching in before potentially another age-group came in to watch the next programme. Imagine two different classes of children moving in different directions down the corridor at the same time- CHAOS. They couldn't just have one programme ending and the other starting immediately because there would be no time. Plus I think you're right about one reason being so that the teacher could get a chance to put in a blank tape and record the programme.
@Gavin Martin I don't think ITV ever owned Channel Four did they? They used to sell the advertising for them originally, and the adverts were inserted at each local itv studio. I presumed the 40 sec sequence was used due to time restrictions between the programmes?
@Gavin Martin Here is a quote from the Channel Four website: "Channel Four Television Corporation was set up by an Act of Parliament. It is a publicly owned not-for-profit corporation and does not have any shareholders." TV sets were sometimes labelled as ITV2 or IBA2 on a spare button in preparation for a possible fourth channel, as I recall!
@@schoolworksuk I remember thinking that having 6 channel buttons was exciting, and that one day there would be more than 3 channels. Now there are dozens but non really worth watching. I guess it's quantity over quality that counts for progress now.
To Robert Todd.This is sugniffcent on two counts. Firstly,Channel Four could start it"s daytime schedule,therefore leaving ITV to start it"s daytime TV schedule with Seasame Street,The Day Today and This Moring with Richard and Judy. Therefore making ITV the first 24 hour TV channel in Europe [[except in the North West,N.Ireland and Cumbria] GOD BLESS!
garry simpson The Day Today? That was a comedy vehicle for Chris Morris, a man who makes a living ripping off Victor Lewis-Smith! Are you sure you don't mean The Time The Place instead?
Apologies. You are of course correct. I meant of course. The Time the Place. A discussion programme with a LIVE Studio Audience. From a different I.T.V. Region each week. Presented by he late Granada Reports Journalist. Mike Scott. A former Disabled Carer. Best Wishes From The New Forest. P.S. Victor Lewis -Smith. Very funny yet under-rated in my view.
This sound of ITV Schools 🏫 reminds of Keith Robert Ernest Hall who was born on Wednesday 27th September 1978.

There is first and top 🔝 floor as well. I mustn’t attempt to contact Quay View School 🏫 because I could get into trouble 😈 by the school 🏫 staff and police 👮♂️ and it will promptly serve me right. Leave my visits to Quay View School 🏫 alone. It’s water 💦 under the bridge 🌉 and let it go over my bloody head. It’s not worth it and finally move on.

I think it's partly because of all the child sex abuse scandals we have been hearing about which has contributed to the decision to discontinue schools programming on television in the UK
@@bylescx Someone already did it. Look up ITV Schools: The Journey - 30th Anniversary and ITV Schools: Just A Minute - 30th Anniversary on the channel of TV Schools
was itv schools on Channel 4 called infant number made by London Weekend Television productions or Carlton television productions or Anglia television productions
+Kathleen Margaret Stewart The Broadcast for Schools website has no record of a programme called "Infant Number". And there were no schools programmes produced by Carlton or LWT. And Anglia only made a few schools programmes for older students: www.broadcastforschools.co.uk/site/Special:BrowseData/Programmes?Company=Anglia
Carlton operated like Channel 4 using the commissioning/transmissioning method as they had commissioning editors in place so they produced no programmes of their own. It did feel strange that Thames' schools programming appeared on Channel 4 in the spring/summer terms 1993.
It was moved to Channel 4 and S4C Wales in 1987 not only because ITV provided schools programming for 30 years but also because ITV had to provide an entertainment-based morning service in the same way as BBC1 did in October 1986. Also the IBA gave the go-ahead as fourth channel transmitter coverage had reached 99.9% of the population by 1987 so they had to ensure that ALL schools would be able to receive the fourth channel services.
No. It had to be called ITV Schools because at the time the ITV companies still provided the schools programming as they produced the programmes, but had to display on screen the fact that they were shown on Channel 4 and S4C so as not to confuse viewers. The rebranding only came in in September 1993 when Channel 4 were independent of ITV.

That music!! Probably haven't heard it since the 80's yet it sounds like I heard it yesterday. Mad!
I remember this from about 2 months before the first time at Malta and with Dad’s parents when I was 2.
The "Seeing and Doing" music from 5:22 was also used by the Portuguese channel RTP1 on their "colour shapes" ident from 1986 to 1988.
It was library music from Bruton
It's called "Focus" by Paul Hart, maybe you were aware already.

Why is ITV on 4?
It was moved to Channel 4 and S4C Wales in 1987 not only because ITV provided schools programming for 30 years but also because ITV had to provide an entertainment-based morning service in the same way as BBC1 did in October 1986. Also the IBA gave the go-ahead as fourth channel transmitter coverage had reached 99.9% of the population by 1987 so they had to ensure that ALL schools would be able to receive the fourth channel services.
Christopher Williams Could they not have rebranded it?
No. It had to be called ITV Schools because at the time the ITV companies still provided the schools programming as they produced the programmes, but had to display on screen the fact that they were shown on Channel 4 and S4C so as not to confuse viewers. The rebranding only came in in September 1993 when Channel 4 were independent of ITV.
