LWT VT Clock / Slate (Wembley Studios) Manhunt 5 1970

And there's just one more before you die of boredom. Nice makeshift noises on this one.

I collect old television and radio material, so if you'd like to see more of this, get in touch.

Would somebody care to tell me why a man was needed to count from A to M whilst making clucking noises with his tongue? :)

I could be wrong, but I believe it's just a way of proving that the sound is working before transmission of the tape. Different companies have different ways of doing this.

There is a lot of these on the Network DVD release box sets of Upstairs Downstairs, but you have to rewind the LWT Ident caption before you see the boards, very strange, as with the clucking noise. I thought that is what it was, but I wasn't sure whether I was imagining things or not.

Ta. I must get myself a job in VT... :)
