There was an ITV "For School and Colleges" science programme ...
I used to watch it if I was ill and off school. It had a very minimalist
presentation style: you rarely saw the presenter/narrator, just
disembodied
hands moving equipment around.
A style reinvigorated by Big Clive on YouTube :)
This is an example of the ITV schools programme "Experiment" that I was referring to.

Not sure I'd want to work with bromine unless I was wearing gloves - it's irritant and corrosive, as I saw for myself when I was in the audience of
the Royal Institute Xmas Lectures and the lecturer did the classic bromine-diffusion experiment - and spilled bromine on the hands of the assistant... who was heard clearly to mutter imprecations about the
lecturer's parentage. The recording had to be stopped, the assistant was
taken away to have his wounds washed and bandaged, new baize (of a
*different* colour!) was laid on the table, and recording began again. The
join was *very* noticeable when I saw the finished product on TV a few days later: the assistant's hands suddenly acquired bandages and the baize on the table suddenly changed colour. I almost wonder whether the BBC decided to
make the join as obvious as possible. ;-)
"Experiment" was mercilessly spoofed in "Look Around You".
