Radio Searock, many thanks indeed. The Vaughan Williams 'Sea Songs' ending this clip actually ran into announcer Dick Graham impeccably enunciating, as I recall: "This is Anglia Television, broadcasting on channels 6, 7 and 11 from the Belmont, Sandy Heath and Mendlesham transmitters of the Independent Television Authority". Wasn't the Sandy Heath reference added later in an updated version? I still have the voiceover on MP3, I think, should you wish to 'gild the lily'!
"Broadcasting on channels 6, 7 and 11 of the Independent Television Authority". Programmes used to start about 4PM in the afternoon, and finish about 1145PM. Used to watch "Twizzle", "Torchy the battery boy", Fireball XL5, and so many others too numerous to name. We had a Murphy Astra TV, which was all rigged up for 625 lines when that started up, and it was the size of a small detached house, and had it's own quarter of an acre in the living room. LOL Those halcyon days, sadly, are long gone.
What were the point of these ITA testcards?
