Yes, it probably is. It was the nearest I could find to the sort of telly my school had in the late 70s. The first colour TV set I remember in school was bought in 1982 for the raising of the Mary Rose, which we had (conveniently) studied as a topic for the term leading up to it. I seem to recall being forced to watch the giant yellow frame being inched up out of the Solent, live, and thinking “where’s the ship then?” It was, to say the least, a massive anticlimax and a very boring morning.
This news report condenses hours of television coverage into two and a half minutes.
