BBC Schools - Science Topics - The Periodic Table

[JohnnyTheWolfLupino]

This brings back so many memories of Science lessons at senior school, loved the theme music of this programme so much that every time it was shown I would do a crazy air guitar to it; very nearly got suspended for that! Some teachers had no sense of humour. Always had to take notes on these programmes.

Hey, the music is the sound of the "Blue Ridge Mountain" by Mike Maxfield, fresh out of Nashville, via Cheshire!!! Track 4 from the Ceefax tape Country Express, used on BBC2 in the late 80's...

Fascinating, loved the erratic display gave an air of going back in time. Although not quite to my time, as it was monochromic 405 line displays and Television Receivers had yet to reach school.

0:48 Funny, just as the video turned to static, the YouTube needed to stop and buffer.

Yee haw. Love that Atkins picking man. We stole a lot of the Beatles styly, so it's only fair that the BEEB grab back a few Naish-ville licks.

I had that nike cagoul that the kid at 3:18 is wearing, they were like mad fashionable back in the day! :)

The static and wobble at the beginning are killer. It wouldn't be the same without that shit on the school video. I can smell the library now.
