- Drama
Directed by: Joan Kemp-Welch, Philip Casson, Trevor Nunn, Adrian Brown, Paul Kafno
Written by: William Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, Trevor Nunn, E. Nick Alexander, Eugene Solow
Long-running series for schools and colleges produced by Thames Television, and in its final years by independent companies - although documentaries and dramas produced by other ITV companies were sometimes repeated for classroom use under The English Programme banner. The series was made up of various units, often repeated for a number of years, which comprised classic plays, contemporary dramas, poetry anthologies, documentaries and other material suitable for English language and literature syllabuses. The series was aimed at older students studying towards O-Level/CSE, GCSE, A-Level and equivalent qualifications, but the material was often of interest and relevance to younger secondary school pupils and adults watching at home.
