Testcard F - HHTV 1 Southend

This is a digitally generated remastered version of Testcard F. This is the 1984 all electronic design which replaced the previously broadcast optical version in the UK. This Version being shown here is used as an instore testcard, broadcast during the daytime to display, refurbished colour televisions at their best. It is a full broadcast quality version, however the best picture resolution is not available on You Tube, but I have uploaded it in a higher resolution, as well as adding some pre-emphasis to the luminance to try and overcome the narrow video banwidth and compression artefacts.

Ah. yes the great Peter Fairley, as I remember used to present those fantastic Appolo 11 and Appolo 12 Lunar landings coverage programmes on ITN. Great cutting edge TV, and with no computer graphics available either! There are two versions of Footprints on the moon available on CD by Johnny Harris, one of them is a slightly longer stereo mix... This version is the version ITN used; the original mono mix from 1969.

Footprints on the Moon.

Takes me back to ITNs Apollo coverage.
