All the more reason for the BBC to provide them with something worthwhile, then. Class TV was originally 9am-1pm so that's a hell of a lot more Tracy Beaker we're going to have to put up with to fill the void...

Wasn't Class TV an hour or two's worth of stuff, then repeated?

Most kids don't like watching it anyway, not when there are other channels like Nickelodeon playing cartoons.


But it allowed teachers to get another chance to tape that edition of Look and Read from some specific date, and then show it to their class.

It's a shame Class TV has gone.

Yes, I know, however, shouldn't this stuff be provided on VHS anyway?

Well yes but I wasn't sure if some would appreciate you advertising in the public domain.

Imagine you are 9 and are off school. You have the choice of watching so many channels, some offer cartoons, some offer comedy and some offer educational programs. Which one do you not go for? Remember you are a 9 year old kid, not who you are now.

It's a public forum just the same as this one, so where is the problem?

Yes, but not everything shown during Class TV time was available on tape (except for extortionate amounts - when I had to order a copy of Panorama it cost me £35 for a single DVD!!) and teachers (not necessarily children) might be eager to get their hands on it.

One of my teachers at High School was in a Documentary that was shown on BBC North (Yorkshire) in the mid 1970's and for him to get that transferred to VHS it was about £50, and I don't even think it was half an hour either.

UTV charge £70(!) to transfer any programme to DVD no matter how long.
