I don't ever remember seeing this testcard, it's pretty freaky though - that clown does it for me!

At the time, no-one thought much about the, 'trade test transmissions', shown in the spaces between programmes on the BBC. But, now they're gone, a lot of older people are nostalgic about such occasions, reflecting a time in their younger days, sat listening to some, 'easy listening', music on the long afternoons of a school holiday. I had my own favourites, which even years later, I still remember.

I guess I'm just getting old, but TV seemed so much more wholesome back then. (sigh...)

Well, I seem to disagree with almost everyone as I ADORED the test card in my youth. I found the music pleasant and comforting and I have to say that if it was back instead of the garbage of Daytime TV, life might be a bit less chaotic.

Kids have a HUGELY lower concentration-span nowadays, and that is partly due to the non-stop TV. My ex-husband's brother and his wife NEVER put the television off and their two young kids sit in front of it all day. How are they going to turn out I wonder?

When the announcer said "Now BBC1's returning to a Trade Test Transmission", it sounded like he wasn't in avery good mood; in actual fact he almost never was.
