Each episode was a 5-minute factual report covering a single topic. It ran from 1959 to 1980 and was black-and white until changing to colour in the early 1970s, sometime around episode 700. The numbering suggests these were issued at weekly or similar intervals. Some episodes appear on various of the British Film Institutes's (BFI) series of "The COI Collection" DVD sets issued from 2010. Written by garsonfarm See less
