How (1966–1981)

How 2 is an informative educational programme produced by TVS between 1990 and 1991, and STV Studios (Scottish Television) from 1992 to 2006.[1]

The original show (How) was produced by Southern Television from 1966 up until 1981, when the company lost its franchise to TVS, which was a regular fixture in the ITV schedules.

History

[edit]

The show began in 1966 as How, a series popular in the 1970s. It was designed to provide answers to questions, beginning with the word "How". Each episode began with the presenters all raising one hand and saying "How" simultaneously (playing on the stereotypical Native American greeting). Common topics that were covered, included science, history, mathematics, and simple puzzles. The series came to an end in 1981, when Southern Television lost its ITV franchise, but was revived as How 2 in 1990, by TVS. The first two series were developed by TVS; however, on 16 October 1991, when it was announced that TVS had lost the franchise round to Meridian,[2] several ITV companies were interested in taking over production of the show. Ultimately, Scottish Television won out and produced the show from series 3 onwards. After an intervening year at the Maidstone Studios, from series 4 until the end of series 15, taping of the show took place at STV's Glasgow Studios.[3]

In addition to the regular series, two specials were also produced. This included a comedy special, produced especially for CITV's Comedy Week of programs in February 1997. Later the same year, a Christmas special was produced, which was filmed in Lapland.[4]

In 2006, the final series was broadcast, having waited more than a year for transmission. Afterwards, series 14 and 15 were regularly repeated on the CITV channel, normally at weekends and some school holidays until the end of 2012.

A similar CITV show to appear a few years later was The Big Bang, presented by How 2's own Gareth Jones and Violet Berlin. The Big Bang had a more scientific slant, focusing on performing fun experiments involving simple physics and chemistry. Other similar British television series included Don't Ask Me. Fred Dinenage was the only presenter to appear in both incarnations of How, presenting the shows for a total of 31 years. On 6 January 2013, as part of CITV's Old Skool Weekend (a televised event celebrating the strand's 30th anniversary), the first episode of the 1995 series was shown. Prior to this, a How 2 segment was featured on the 30 Years of CITV documentary that aired on ITV on 29 December 2012 and featured interviews with Dinenage and Jones.

In 2019 How 2 was made available on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.[5]

Also in 2019, the CITV channel commissioned a further revival of the format.[6] Fred Dinenage made his third return to the series, alongside a new team of Vick Hope, Sam Homewood and Frankie Vu.[7]

The programme was produced by TVS for its first two series in 1990 and 1991, and by () from 1992 to 2006. It featured a studio-based format with limited location filming in later years, emphasizing hands-on activities and visual aids to make complex topics accessible and entertaining for children. Episodes often included themed segments on , , and everyday curiosities, such as building models or testing material strengths, delivered in a light-hearted style that incorporated occasional mishaps to highlight trial-and-error learning. The presenting team evolved over the series but was led by veteran broadcaster , who had appeared in the original How and anchored throughout its run, alongside co-hosts including Gareth Jones, , Sian Lloyd, and Gail McKenna. These hosts conducted experiments live on air, fostering an interactive atmosphere that encouraged viewer participation by addressing real questions submitted by children. The show's revival capitalized on the enduring appeal of its predecessor, which had run for 17 series and 240 episodes until 1981, adapting the concept for a new generation with updated production techniques while retaining its core educational mission.
