- One of my first edits (in 1983).... although the film editor credit says Bob Woodward, he didn't cut it - he gave it to me to as we had about a dozen to cut. Voiced by Chris Tarrant who did all of these fab little programmes and produced and directed by the wonderful Dilys Howell in the days when even schools television was hand crafted - on film!
I so miss ice cream vans turning up in your street. We also had a fish and chip van for a couple of years.
Reminds me of being sat in the dining/assembly hall in our tiny wee school in the Scottish highlands and getting a cold/numb arse while watching tv for schools! We had less than 40 pupils in the whole school and there was only one tv/video to go round. It was great when we got to watch the school tv stuff though - a wee break from our psychopath teacher!
Familiar voice of Chris Tarrant, around that time he might also have been doing TISWAS. Today with the Internet and abundant media, it's easier than ever to make that connection between a voiceover artist like him working on various shows. And now we have Inside the Factory on the BBC as an equivalent show today, with wider appeal as Entertainment Factual rather than just for schools.
Miss the old days!
So do I mate but at least in summer we still get ice cream vans
Wow I've always wanted to see how ice cream is made and here it is
woah 4 cornets in one hand , impressive stuff
Yep; I thought that too.
Wonderful. Just brings back memories of being sat in class waiting for the tv and video recorder to be wheeled in to and the teacher trying to make it work.
half and hour later when teacher had finally located the right section of tape we would watch the last minue of blue screen countdown and pretend to shoot the second dots with our imaginary pistols.
Really ? We always watched these shows when they were broadcast "live" !
Were the dots not on BBC1 schools at the time though rather than ITV's?!
@@mistofoles I doubt most schools even had rooftop TV aerials, or at least not covering every possible classroom. I don't think my primary school had the ability to show live tv (this was in 1988-1994) I think the thinking behind schools programmes (at least in the 80s and 90s) was that teacher's would tape the shows one day, and then bring in the tape on a later day. I've no idea how it was supposed to work in the 70s and earlier, but can only assume the audience was tiny and consisted only of particularly affluent schools, or else there was some sort of scheme that brought the tv's and set-top aerials to different schools on different days to enable schools to tune in. I can recall one of my primary school teachers, in about 1993, recording a radio programme onto cassette tape and playing it the day after, so we didn't even use live radio! (the radio station ballsed up and went to the wrong feed on one occasion that he recorded it, rejoining the correct programme a couple of minutes into its run, so we had a little bit of the programme missing, which is what stuck in my mind and caused me to even remember our teacher using a radio programme).
The teacher would also struggle to use a wired remote control.
Well, I'm never eating ice cream again...
SLL was one of my favourite schools programmes.
The clock tune is "Gwlad y Gan", composed by David Snell and performed by the David Snell Ensemble, and is from Bruton library album BRR 17 "Wales/Scotland". All interval tracks from this term can be found on that album.
This dates the video as having been recorded during Spring Term 1984.
What does "Gwald y Gan" mean in English ?
@@mistofoles - Google Translate says it means, "kill the song"!
Amazing stuff!. In the days when children would ask 'how?' and 'why?' - esp given the fact that manufacturing vocations were still thriving in the early 80's (unlike) today, most kids and young people want to enter into the media industry. I was 10 years old when this video was done, so quite a flash back!
When the tune stops, it means the ice-creams are all sold.
Thanks Croftmedia... Throftmedia!
@3:55 - Nice - no gloves/hairnet, and now the guy is picking his nose while he's making the ice-cream !
Not forgetting that he knows he is being filmed...makes you wonder what he was doing in that horrific filthy jacket when the cameras were NOT there...Same for that whole factory...
@@pauloliver6813 Is it maybe a tooth/mouth scratch?
All adds to the taste
Wiping his moustache
And scratching his arse
5:50 We had an ol chap who oversees the machine in the cooler. He’d pop in to daily about whilst having a forbidden sweet. Suffered a stroke after his last meal, such a tragedy.
A lot of thought gone into that factory automation.
Some mind numbing jobs in that factory. Thank god for automation. Give those people their lives back. A choc ice checker is no way to live your life 7:58
Did anyone else notice at the chocolate application stage, there was a fan that blew down onto the choc ices immediately after the chocolate goes on to remove "excess" chocolate. In other words to ensure the bare minimum amount of chocolate goes on. See how they were all patchy when they set? Bunch of scrooges.
+leekehrer I remember that brand of choc ices by the outer wrapping as a child and you are right; they did have the bare minimum of chocolate on them! My Uncle visited an ice cream factory around that time through work and he said it was absolutely filthy, wonder if he met that bloke in the overalls? He couldn't even be bothered looking tidy for the cameras so on regular days at work I can only imagine! :(
I was going to mention that filthy white coat - it's put me right off ice cream now, I can tell you. It's a wonder kids of the 80s didn't all die of food poisoning. I can hear Health and Safety officers having apoplectic fits right now.
Yeah but look at the size of the ice cream compared to today. Nowadays they are 3 times smaller.
I did notice, I’ve never really liked choc ices that much, they’re pretty tasteless.
That factory and machinery looked filthy!
4:42 the apprentice is learning the ropes of how to fill a bucket with ice cream. 🥴
Nice work croftmedia! I loved Stop Look Listen , great show , which showed you inside factories! and yes I spotted the boom mic too in the shot at eight minutes. Nice for you to get the credit you so deserve on this!
Did you hear that? After all that, that ungrateful cow right at the end says "There's a bit missing!"
When I was in England, an ice cream van used to come to my street every Saturday
My favourite ice cream flavours are chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, hazelnut, fruits of the forest, tutti frutti, choc n nut, mint choc chip, toffee ripple and rum and raisin
"It's ice cream... but we don't want to give you that!"
Sorry but I had to do a Stop Look Listen/Millionaire crossover joke somewhere!
The ice cream man I used outside school sold a single ciggie and a match for 10p 1988!!
Used to give blow jobs in the van for 20p outside my school 1987.
In 1987, I was just four years old,and my brother was just two years old and we both sometimes used to get ice creams for free, because my mum was friends with the ice cream person.
AT 8:03 ITS PEARL FROM LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE WHILE SHE,S WORKING IS HOWARD WITH MARINA (AGAIN)
I wonder if anyone can help me locate an episode of Stop Look Listen that my dad made an appearance in. He didn't say anything but it was filmed where he worked at the time and I'd love to see it again! I think it must have been about telephones or communication as he worked for BT at the time. I think the episode was filmed in the 80's as I was old enough to remember him doing it. There is an ATV episode called 'telephone' from 1972 but this would have been far to early. Thanks guys ;o)
What's that thing that came on at the very beginning, with the clock? I remember that very well.
minute countdown. allowed the teacher to warm up and adjust the tv set before the programme itself started . when youre 7 its the longest minute in the world ,,😌

"There's no real tune to speak of, just a cacophony of squawks and chirrups"
lol, clearly not music
Write that down!!
hi does any one have a copy of Stop, Look, Listen - library?
@itsamozthing I think the episode you're after was also called 'Telephone' and was first shown in January 1986. If you email a guy called Frank at frank@coolsteelmedia.co.uk, he has several episodes of SLL on DVD including that one!
my favorite ice cream is vanilla and raspberry ice cream that's it. I hate chocolate ice cream because it's bitter for me.
I adored mint ice cream which is blue and I had got it from ice cream van it was tasteful
@ 3:30 look at that filthy jacket. Melting the fat...sugar and milk powder...talk about waking kids up to reality! I learnt something today, but I reckon this would have disturbed me as a 12 year old...Not exactly Wonka's Chocolate Factory, is it?
It all has bit of a Soviet vibe to it.
Eeee I didn't know they put lard in ice cream!
Boom mic in shot @ 8:00
where?
What brand of ice cream was featured?
Kento Ito Mr Whippy, 99’s were made by them, I used to also love Happy Hortons too. The titles show they used Burdens Ice Cream Maker in Telford.

not a face mask in sight
Blue? Mint ice cream is green.
Thank God its not a Russian Tank...or would that be jumping the Gun ...83

School, where they teach you how to an obedient worker. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept shitty jobs with low pay. _George Carlin._
'Fat'. Not much detail there. What kind of fat I wonder....
Possibly the most disgusting food production area they could have picked 🤢🤮
