I'm a little too old to remember this from Junior school, but the 80's and early 90's version of events was pretty much the same as I remember, no doubt. The TV on wheels was usually inside a cabinet type thing that, when the doors were opened, there was folded flaps which opened out in order to prevent light from the windows/ceiling from reflecting off the screen. I'm sure there used to be a company, somewhere, who made these TVs exclusively for schools as you never ever saw them anywhere else!

I cam remember the teacher fast forwarding the ident and me getting a bollocking for stopping it with my tv remote watch. Back in the day eh?

THis is from 14th September 1987

This video is actually the first ever showing of the new look on 14/9/87. & also, fact fans, before the ident there were some 4tel pages and a couple of minutes of black. There's an art to the building of suspense, as one C4 announcer once said.

@gobbygirl77 It was for schools who didn't have video recorders - so teachers could either wheel the TV into the classroom or get the students into the TV room (in our case it was the library & music room) and settle down for the programme. Not so much an issue for our school though - as early as 1983 (from having looked into my old primary school video archive a year or so ago) they were recording schools programmes from ITV and BBC on video.

In school, we never watched this when it was being broadcasted - they would've been recorded on video for us to watch - and watching a video for us was rare cos we were in a school where there was only one tv for the whole of junior school
Ah yes, in would roll the metal trolley. VCR the size of a small village, telly crafted of solid oak.

My god. A blast from the past or what?
This reminds me of the good old days in primary school sat in a circle around an old battered 80's school tv.
