Another familar face in there is Gunnar Cauthery who's probably better known as Lloyd on the Demon Headmaster- the first series had presumably been filmed by this point, but didn't air for another 6 weeks. I think he's the only one of the show's main child cast still acting (a bit of research shows he played Gary Lineker in a west end play about Gareth Southgate last year!)

Long done I'd have thought by that point, considering the school scenes for Demon Headmaster were done in an actual school (and they make up a good chunk of the original three episodes of the first series), so it makes logical sense for those to be done during the six weeks holiday - the other exteriors can be done anywhere anytime (and some studio work I presume for some of the interiors).

But yes, I think Disney Club is probably relatively unique in this era for straddling (I notice it gets a GMTV "endcap" on the video followed by STV). A couple of years later the F1 coverage would technically occasionally straddle for the races that went out early morning (or occasionally completely take the whole 3.5hrs over).
