In September 1983, BBC TV's schools output transferred to BBC2 to make way for the introduction of daytime programming on BBC1 despite the fact that Pages from Ceefax were shown all morning, apart from the morning broadcast of Play School, as all-day television was still three years away. The adult education programming which used to be shown on BBC2 on Mondays and Tuesdays during the winter and spring terms moved to lunchtimes and the entire service was branded as "Daytime on Two." BBC2 created a special daytime ident for Daytime on 2 with the black background becoming a sunny yellow/orange colour.
