Westward TV telerecording on ebay

I thought I'd draw attention to this auction in case it's relevant.

Looks interesting - I'm pretty sure that when I was at junior school in the late 1960s we had a VCR and we sat watching programmes made specifically for schools but what they were (and certainly who made them) I can't recall.

Is there much surviving from Westward at this time? I'm still waiting for a dvd sampler to be released of some schools programmes. I would like to think there are plenty of things around from the sixties era but this might prove otherwise?

One of our friends bought this print, so it won't vanish into another private collection.

Glad to hear it! Do we know if it was actually missing? It's of limited interest I suppose but it's still great to turn stuff up from the early '60s.

Wonderful news, Chris. Just what I was hoping for! Can you give details of what the programme actually is / date etc?

I am assuming the programme is a missing item (as most vintage Westward material is) so that's a good find.

Could this be added to the list? thanks

All finds are added to the annual Raiders of the Lost Archives list published every October.

I've added it to the 2010 list of ongoing discoveries, Joe, with info as provided for the E-bay sale. If Chris or anyone else wants to offer more details on the programme, i'll paste 'em up. That's another interesting find for the year anyway and nice to see an educational item returned (particularly from a forgotten company such as Westward)!
