WHERE IS THE FLICK

[Lukorz]

why does it say bbc in the title when there's clearly a channel 4 logo at the end?

[AidanLunn]

@Lukorz The Channel 4 logo was the beginning of the next recording. Just before the Channel 4 logo, there's a continuity slide with the BBC2 logo in the corner.

[marleysalemmango88]

Man I don't know how teachers can stand watching magic pencil with their classes, that shit is so damn annoying!

[sdaonline]

@marleysalemmango88 i remember teachers getting on with marking/lesson plans etc while programmes were being shown. some would really get into them of course!

[lewsnews2004]

@sdaonline I remember our teacher making us draw the outlines with our finger in the air - how the hell is that supposed to help anyone I do not know.

[Kirstieefly]

i remember watchin this in primary school! in like p2 or somethin was so fun:) we all got so excited about goin to the tv room and watch :D

[fiddleandcatz]

OMG I remember this!

[crazyclive]

I was desperately hoping he'd say the words "of economic recovery" after he said "green shoots". Sadly, it never happened ... maybe he couldn't picture it.

[IreneHarlech]

I work in a primary school and we still show the kids this its great!

[blocfoals]
