[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Phew! I was pretty sure it was ITV but not completely. Thank-you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago Well that's my recollection from when I was a nipper but this suggests it was more complex than that with different serials being shown on a fre channels at various times. My main memory is of getting up early to watch the B&W serials on ITV before the proper telly started but it may be I have conflated things into that memory. I definitely wouldn't have thought they were on BBC 2 at teatime as I recall things like Star Trek TOS being on at 6 and there being a battle to see if we'd watch that or the news. However, the movie serials were presumably cheap filler so different channels presumably filled up time with them at various points. I will do more digging. permalink fedilink source parent
