Site news
Almost every schools TV & radio series ever...
This site now has details of 1,327 TV series and 1,026 radio series broadcast for schools in the UK over the past 88 years!
For some there are only basic details - broadcast dates, subject, age range, companies and so on. But many include notes about the content, and links between similar series, or series which replaced one another.
Highlights include full programmes lists for the Drama series produced by the BBC and ITV in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the school radio series Listen!, all the dramas from Middle English, all of the individual units from How We Used to Live and The French Programme (and its predecessor French Studies), and all of the presenters from the BBC infant series Watch (yes there were more than 2 presenters!). Coverage stretches all the way back to 1924, including guides to the 1920s series Natural History and the 1940s series Citizenship
You can use the Browse Data pages to look through all sorts of lists of programmes, for example...
- Channel 4 & ITV schools programmes from the 1990s
- science programmes for primary schools from the 1970s and 80s
- programmes produced by Grampian Television (there are quite a lot of them!)
Over 700 of the newly-added series have a screenshot or a picture of a related booklet included. As well as English-language programmes there are over 200 Welsh programmes, over 50 in Scottish Gaelic, plus many other languages including Russian, Cornish and Klaptonian!
All this new material is the result of years and years of research and several intensive months of putting it all together! It is not copied from any reference books, databases, catalogues or websites because as far as I know this information has never been put together before. There are still some series missing, especially those not broadcast in England (the site has virtually no Scottish or Welsh programmes from before 1933, for example) so if you know about any that are not on the site please get in touch by email or on the forum
