The ITV for schools pre-programme jingle - esp the bit that starts 1min in this video That music and graphics package was brought in for Autumn 1987 - when schools programmes moved from ITV to Channel 4.
The music used for the interlude was called "The Journey", the music used on the 1 minute countdown I think was called "Just a Minute" - both pieces were composed especially by James Aldernham. All schools programmes were networked from Central TV in Birmingham - and they were responsible for the presentation of them.
Prior to moving the Channel 4, the presentation was very similar - though a little more mechanical. Interludes were accompanied by 35mm slides of various topics, and the clock was a mechanical rotating shutter affair - all accompanied by Library Music - many pieces would become very well known. The mechanical clock used to go belly up on air - it would sometimes stick mid-way, rewind on air or not bother at all.
The good old days :)

Hope you still are. Fab genre! \m/ Yeah, I still listen to it when I'm in the mood, I've been listening to Prong a lot lately, if they can be called thrash. Metallica were my favourite band at the time though I lost interest in them in the early 90's. Metallica. I think the expression 'least said soonest mended' comes to mind for me, personally. Won't go into it but I have never liked that band or him.

For me 1980's fashion is a pair of slim fit Wrangler jeans, some Kickers boots (probably in red if I'm feeling lairy!) a Pierre Cardin polo shirt and a Lyle & Scott v-neck sweater... I'd probably slip on a Members Only blouson as well if the weather turned parky!!!
Glorious (in my eyes!)...
