ITV Schools and Colleges

ITV's presentation for schools spanned Associated-Rediffusion's earliest experiments, ATV's celebrated light-spots era, the Channel 4 partnership of the 1980s and the later S4C handovers. This section gathers the original captions, clocks and music that accompanied those classroom broadcasts.
