And the Living of It is an ITV schools TV series from the 1960s and 1970s, covering Citizenship and PSHE for further education students.

Pupils' workbook

A series about "the individual and society", originally designed to support integrated studies courses for students of 14 and over. Many of the programmes cover the experiences of young school leavers adjusting to the adult world, and there was a mix of dramatised programmes, personal analysis by experts, and more traditional programmes highlighting themes.

In the autumn term the programmes were concerned with the immediate family relationships of young people, in the spring term the focus changes to adolescents' social environment and group relationships, and then in the summer term adolescents' place in the world, attitudes and values in life.

The Time of Your Life and the Living of It

The title of the series was finally explained in the summer term 1972, when six of "the most successful programmes from the series" were repeated as an accompaniment to a new serial drama series called The Time of Your Life. Notably, those six "most successful programmes" which were repeated were all drama programmes (episodes 5, 8, 16, 23, 12 and 22).

The Transition from School to Work was the subject of episode 9 but it may not have been the final title - no title was given in the TV Times listings that week. If you can confirm the final title please get in touch by email. To complicate things slightly the teacher's notes listed The Transition from School to Work as episode 8, and The Transition from Adolescent to Adult Status (which became Them and Me) as episode 9.

The series was accompanied by a handbook for teachers, with extensive background notes written by Denis Lawton, and a pupils' workbook for each term with questions (and answers) to encourage thinking about the themes of the episodes.

In 1971-72 there was a single, combined teacher's notes booklet for The Time of Your Life and And the Living of It.
