[Neil Jones]

I think I told the story before on previous forum incarnations but we did see some programmes live in my Year 4, which in my case was 1990/1. Probably in Year 3 and 2 as well. But also taped/pre-recorded.
Couldn't tell you what they were though. They were that exciting

And of course programmes continued to be recycled for viewing into secondary school years, remember some science programme that had been taped off Channel 4 Schools but had probably been made prior to 1993. And then when I went to college and a TV documentary was shown at some point in a class - again taped off the telly and it was pre 1986 as it had the then BBC Two ident at the start.
