Look and Read: Educational TV at school in the 80's

[harris78]

Just been on You tube and happened to stumble across the old Look and Read series which we used to watch in the TV room at school back in the 80's Anyone else remember watching these. Dark Towers, The Boy from Space etc and then interspersed with Wordy etc. I can remember Dark Towers scaring the life out of me at the time.

Brought some right good memories back watching these on Youtube



Anyone else have random memories of growing up and school.

Perhaps if you'd stopped going on about accounting and listened to how to scrummage properly it never would have happened.

Was there one about a UFO and another about a Knight or something?

There was The boy from space, that's probably the UFO one you are thinking about and I also remember one called Fairground or something like that. Dark Towers had the Knight in it.

Wordy looks a wrongun
