Yeah, Watch It! was the precursor to Children's ITV (ATV co-ordinated all that) and the actual Children's ITV strand from 1983 was effectively pre-recorded links wise, with programmes coming from all over the place.
The only reason it went live at all was because of the launch of the "Broom Cupboard" on the other side.
There used to be a good article on the history linked to on the old Watchedit site, which I've dug out for you from the Wayback Machine/Archive.org because I'm nice like that:
