Rare recording from when TV stopped for the night (1.35am!). You get the slide, clock, close ident and IBA test card.

Wow, that's a very long period of time before the testcard actually appears!

You're right. Maybe they hope everyone switches over/off before the loud beeeeeep starts!

I'm guessing this is from the Spring? I only mention this as I noticed at the beginning some bulbs (both of the flower and of 'watt' kind) and I know for certain that Channel 4 used the bulb theme for Spring trailers in 1986.

Could be....however, I was only 6 years old when I recorded this so I can't remember!

This is recorded as-broadcast. It was never played on this occasion.
Don't forget to switch off your set ;-)

Could be. I don't think that's the real reason though: people back then didn't turn the volume all the way up a lot. But it still could be.
Lol! Well, that makes you older than me anyway!
