Must have been repeated in the 70s as it originally aired before I was born.
My first introduction to a programme that was dubbed.
There was another programme on around the same time which was also dubbed. I can't recall the title but think it was just a name of someone.

Did anyone else back their school books with wallpaper?
I used to spend ages doing this to get a neat finish and you'd get an insight into what other peoples houses were like when you saw their wall-papered books, not that I was nosy or anything . .
I used to help run the Tuck Shop at Senior school ..
all this fun, sugar and unhealthy food is banned nowadays.

Like you I liked a neat finish!! So usually my mum did them for me

Our desks at school looked like this:
Our classrooms were like this:
At least until 6th grade when we got the White Board instead of Blackboard and also new desks so we had to keep our stuff in a locker.
P.S. I found these photos online.

Schools in my day were extremely old fashioned and very outdated. Old wooden desks with an inkwell.
Boys separate playground finally mixed with girls just before I started secondary school.
Only ever knew blackboards and was often the recipient of teachers who chose to throw the heavy wooden chalk eraser as a punishment or used a ruler to hit the back of the knees!
