Oh, lovely. What more makes weekday morning complete without watching some sums? Why not equate you're love for it, by watching this clip/near full episode of "Basic Maths". We first see the minimalistic "Independent Television for Schools and Colleges" logo start-up, with some lovely flute music, ticking down to our next programme, produced by ATV and Central TV. We then see stop-motion intro of magically moving and changing objects, and we also get a bit of phonics as, each letter of the title, are pronounced childishly, which seems to be set against a Butcher's shop wall, and telling from the multi-coloured wall, he may also be "a bit of a character". Anyway, for most of the show, we're faced with a now garish-looking pink set, presented by Fred Harris and Mary Waterhouse. Along with alternative kids-putting-maths-into-practice section, and a pair of hands helping us along the way.
