Name changed as this is likely very outing.

Does anyone remember a program called the lowdown, that played on BBC around 5pm week nights in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

In particular I’m interested in one episode which featured my primary school and focused on HIV and AIDS and the effect it had on children and the community.

I’ve looked to find a copy for the last few years, you tube, emailed school etc but I’m now applying for a job in a related field and I’d like to mention on my application.

I be thrilled if anyone knew a way to to try and access a copy, or if anyone remembers it and what was covered or more randomly if anyone else was in it and can remember better than me!!

To help jog anyone memories it was a Scottish school and would have been still quite a controversial thing to bring together primary aged children and their school AIDS and HIV and show it before 9pm.

Kindly, I don't think an episode from the 80's when you were a child would help with an application now.

I looked on IMBD but couldn’t find it. Could you possibly have the name wrong?

If it was in theirs you could contact the programme maker/production company or producer etc for information.

No, but try here: www.bbc.co.uk/contact/questions/behind-the-scenes/access-archives

There is one called The Lowdown about HIV but it might not be what you’re looking for.

Op did you post about this about a year ago in a thread about a related tv show?

I think I remember watching it when it was on but nothing more...

I remember the series but not that episode and cetainly don't know how you could watch it. Why is it so important to your application?

Possibly not, but explaining how I grew up in an community which challenged discrimination and stigma of HIV and AIDS which then led to years of charity and voluntary work and giving example might...

Everyone else, thank you so much Im going to go and have another look.
