Colour Television -Trade Test Colour 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.

It would be great have a Freeview channel devoted to trade test colour films, provided they are of broadcast quality.

More to come here Billy. People these days generally would not be very interested, alas....

I can remember one call 'the Shadow of Progress', though can't find it anywhere!

Really interesting! Thanks for uploading.

Great stuff. Grew up with a majority of these. I particularly remember one about giving blood to save lives, it was titled Blood Can Work Miracles. I wonder if you could upload this film, please.

Thanks Robert. Stay tuned-in.... Jayne Anne

The trade test colour film Run Away to Sea is on POHeritage on RUclips. It makes me terribly nostalgic.
