How come so few Schools Programmes that day - unusual for them not to continue right up to News After Noon. Was it close to the end of term?

[@DaveAndBeth1978]

A bit of a mystery that, this was mid-June, so there would have been about 4 weeks of term left. The schools programmes usually finished at around 12 to 12:30 as that's when most schools had lunch hours. Normally the next programme after Watch was Walrus, which was about 10 minutes longer than Watch so would potentially have gone up until around 11:50. The only thing I can think of that year was perhaps the election interfered with the transmissions of the day?
