Historic footage that shows the famous Bill Tennent at a primary school in the north of Edinburgh in 1962 has once again resurfaced.
Tennent appears as the anchor of ‘Here and Now,’ a current affairs show that tackled various stories in Scotland whilst also showcasing up and coming artists such as Billy Connoly on STV. The video shows the presenter in 1962 before a class of young pupils before it jumps to 1987, where he was reunited with the same pupils on the site of the old school.
The purpose of the episode was to speak to children born in 1957 who were considered the ‘new TV generation’ - the first group to grow up with commercial TV. Nervous kids were asked questions by Tennent regarding the television that they watched at home.
