Totally reminiscent of mornings on the BBC in the school Christmas and summer holidays in the early/ mid 80s, along with Silas; Huckleberry Finn, et al.
This takes me back ! It was shown in the mornings in the summer holidays in the early 1980s along with shows like JACKANORY, THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, TAKE HART/HARTBEAT , etc.
I remember this from Christmas holiday mornings in the 70s. There'd be a few cartoons, Play Chess, maybe a Laurel & Hardy on telly while the house smelt of pine tree. It was great.
I remember watching Play Chess when aged ten and at junior school. The theme tune is in F major- my musical memory is very good and I have perfect pitch!
"March of the Eccentrics", which might or might not be a comment on people who play chess, I suppose! Can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/Q661AhLABFQ/v-deo.html

Brilliant - haven't seen since the 70s, thanks so much for posting...!
If you have the whole episode that would be amazing.
If you have a full programme please show it! Essential holiday viewing for chess juniors
I remember that intro and music so well! Seem to recall it being on in the mornings in the summer holidays way back when.
