[FreddyE1977]

Brought to you in glorious 405 line black and white!
Like I said, that lineup would certainly make me want to go out
and spend more time in the pubs!

I dunno, On The Buses is a good bet. Several years ago, I saw a live stage performance of On The Buses, written specifically for a Vancouver, Canada audience. It was fun seeing Rose and Mum again.

However, 625-line service for color was already in use at the time, in addition to 405 -- though as you can see, there were still some programs that were black and white only.

BBC1 Schools

Did the listings include which schools programs were seen? Many British schedules included a list of what was seen during the block, along with their times.

Also, did any of these channels close down during the day, then restart later?

BBC2 World Cinema "Ivan the Terrible: The Boyars' Plot"

...unless BBC2 obtained an inferior print, this should have been in mixed monochrome and colour, as one sequence was among the first to ever be filmed in colour in Soviet cinema history...

The listings didn't indicate the names of the schools programming...I suspect that the BBC channels signed-off at some point during the daytime; the ITV stations didn't come on the air til around mid or late afternoon.
