VT Countdown clock slate for Southern Television's 'Freenwheelers'

VT Countdown clock slate for #SouthernTelevision 'Freewheelers' series, a long running action-adventure series of serials for kids that ran 1968-73

An early non-fiction contribution by #SouthernTelevision to ITV children's programming ... and a long forgotten one! Good to see the listing. Some of the best remembered are 'How' (1966-81), 'Little Big Time' (1968-73) with Freddie Garrity, 'Runaround' (1975-81) and 'The Saturday Banana' (1978-79)

Southern Television releases on DVD by Simply Home Entertainment

Here are the 'Simply' DVD releases of #SouthernTelevision material, with release dates (concentrated in 2008/09)... since then Renown themselves have released a few more ... 'Together', 'Tell Me Another' (2 sets), 'Sally Ann'

A lot of #SouthernTelevision 's series/serials for kids were basically action-romps (nothing wrong in itself about that) ... but 'Operation Patch' was certainly one of their output with more *depth* to the narrative

In 1980, 'Television Today' took a look at the reasoning behind #SouthernTelevision contributing two (all filmed) serials to the latest series of #ThamesTelevision 's 'Armchair Thriller'

'High Tide' and 'Armchair Thriller' from Southern Television
