One thing I've noticed looking at vintage Radio Times and TV Times is that ITV seemed to do more children's programmes at lunchtime, whereas the BBC did only a single short one. However in the afternoons, the BBC would have 5 or 6 children's programmes and ITV would often show two at most. Sometimes one of them might not even be a children's show, but something like Little House on The Prairie for example.
Also: How often was "Two Mules for Sister Sara" on ITV? I'm sure there's been another Thames continuity upload with it! Was someone high up at Teddington Lock determined to run it until Thames' post-News At Ten audience remembered all the words?
The guy taped it twice, though this one he taped over most of it with a screening of Get Carter. He must have done it accidentally and taped Two Mules again, which is the other upload of mine you’re referring to.
So Michael Bentine dearly loved Shelley, even though he was an effeminate poet, except for “Ozymandias”, a poem about the vanity of male ambition. Er…ok, Mike.

You are of course so right there then too.
Late Monday 25th February / Tuesday 26th February 1980
What time did they close down?
12:35
After Noon Plus. Wasn't that the programme that switched to Channel 4 to become A Plus 4?
My Granny fancied Michael Bentine.
