@retrogamer354 This was due to NICAM Digital Stereo being available on both channels; BBC2 borrowed BBC1's GLITS in early 1990 until the BBC2 suite was re-engineered for NICAM Stereo.
I remember seeing the Test Card on BBC 2 with the old BBC 2 logo very well! I wonder why they had the early 80s BBC 2 logo and not the "TWO"? Did they think the "TWO" logo would have been confusing?

@Matt571 Because it would be easier for the engineers to notice what channel we were watching and the stenciled TWO would not look readible on the card so the old logo looked more readible.
Thanks for your message - I know what you mean about the old logo looking more readible. I used to look at the Test Card for ages in the late 80s and wonder why the girl never moved! I used to think it was some kind of programme!
I remember Tele Journal well. It was shown mostly late at night on BBC2 in the 1980s.
It was presented, as here, by Chantal Cuer, who is indeed French herself.
It was all about the latest news from France as I remember.
Thank you for the posting!

Judging by the date on the credits of TELEJOURNAL, I think it might have been 1987 or 1988.
