Journey Into the Weald of Kent - Travelogue - Trade Test Film

A look back to the early days of an established colour television PAL broadcasting system in the United Kingdom.
During the 1970's these amazing films provided a break in between the test card and television service trade information and provided a chance to view some of the best freely available interesting colour films then available. This mixed range of footage was often 'sponsored' as an indirect form of advertising, but these colour movie features were indeed classics in their own right.
On this video: - John Betjeman introduces a lovely nostalgic look at the Weald of Kent overwise known as 'The Garden of England'.
