You and the World: ITV schools series
You and the World: ITV Schools series Educational programmes for children were broadcast on ITV in Britain between 1957-1987. Typically these would be shown on weekday mornings or early afternoons during term time. One such programme was You and the World which aired between 1964-1976. The series was aimed at 13-16 year olds; in the rather blunt language of the time it was described as "social drama for less able pupils" and for "children in remedial classes". You and the World was produced by Associated-Rediffusion Television (later Thames). The series aimed to provide citizenship lessons, dramatising problems faced by school leavers in adjusting to the world of work and adult responsibilities.
