In 1982, Gelographic RadioTelevision co-broadcast a test transmission for the tentative BBC5 channel.
Although the station idents were deemed a massive success, sadly the only known survivors of this viewing were unable to be traced, due to radiation issues. This archive footage has been recently unearthed, and provides a tempting glimpse into what those who watched through the smoked glass were able to see.
The musical accompaniment, acclaimed in some quarters, features on the new Moon Wiring Club album 'Striped Paint for the Last Post', due 'sometime' November. Certainly before the feast of Syllabub in any case.
Does anyone know where the clip of the creepy laughing man with the white eyes at 2:55 comes from? It's been bugging ever since the first time I saw this video.

Would I be right in thinking that a recording of BBC2's 'TV Hell' came in a bit useful, here...? Nice work.
