1130 Service Information 1973
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Due to popular demand - at least from those who enjoy this kind of thing - here is another Service Information, this time at the 1130 slot. How I would love to post an entire day of trade, but first, I have a severely limited internet allowance living up here in the rural hills of Wales, and second, I would not wish to court any offence from copyright holders. But, if anyone from the film libraries is reading this, please let me know if you would be cool about this.
How terrible. At 11.25 you just get the test card. We've really moved on, at 11.25 in the morning now you get a repeat of a programme where someone's doing up a mouldy flat in Macclesfield.
Is that on bbc1 or bbc2 I wonder though too
Memories of being off school and having a look to see what was on tv in the day
This is very well done Paul and from memory it is very very accurate. You've the right voice too!.
Thanks for your kind words, it is always good to know my humble efforts are appreciated.
PS Not so bad for a black country born lad! LOL!

Hi Mike, if this is from October 1973 then that was the exact month and year i was born in and on the 26 day
Are you serious you know all this info for a test card..lol
Excellent ! been waiting for a hi def version this time for years !! i love it !! thank you very much !!
You're very welcome, thank you.
Always fascinated watching the small hand flicking around the clock face
Thanks for giving us another fix. Love it. Cheers.
I remember watching the clock go round for 1130 just to watch any old program how sad was that
"BBC Colour" 😂 that was the hi-tech back in the day! Our parents rented our first colour television, (remember DER?) just in time for Charles and Diana's wedding.
I do remember DER. They had a shop on my walking route home from school and they used to dump their redundant TV sets outside at the rear area. I used to ask if I could open them up and take the speakers out! I made my own cabinets to house them in because I couldn't afford a proper set of speakers for my old Grundig TK5. For public consumption their shop front boasted an array of sets, all displaying the test card, in those days even ITV. I would go in and ask if they would mind turning up the volume of the TTT so i would know if I really needed to hurry home to record something. Oh my! That was back in 1971.
I had just moved into a new flat 1981 and waited nearly a year before I could afford a black and white portable T. V.missed top of the pops most Thursday night.
@@paulsawtell3991Back in 1971 I was a mere infant a year old and not old enough to understand or remember that period!
@@gerrynicol3951I was eleven and moved from junior to senior school in 1981!
Possibly the scariest test card bbc used
I use a widescreen version of this test pattern in my live streams sometimes. Just plop it in OBS.
Do little girls scare you?
Wonderful ! - Was amazed recently when someone showed me "The Colour television receiver" recently and I could recite vast passages of Michael Aspel's commentary (grey scale tracking and the London bus changing colour in shadow) - sign of a mis-spent youth I suppose.....
Not sure if this applies to the "Walk and Talk" era, but when they were using Swirley and the vertical split slides, the short test card period after Play School always had 440Hz tone instead of music, probably to encourage viewers to switch off or over to another channel.
When that schedule was first introduced they did play a few minutes of music. Why that ceased I know not for certain but my guess would be it was easier for them to just use tone for such a short period.
Think as an impressionable child i spent many an hour watching this test card nd wondering wtf was going on in that picture.....It contorted my imagination
OMG the zany music! Love love love it.
Love the music
I was Play School age at the time - just three years old!
It’s amazing that we only had three channels and even those had large parts of the day where nothing was broadcast!! Nanny state thinking that TV was bad for us??
More to do with the PMG regulating broadcast hours. Remember "Toddlers' Truce" back in the 1950s?
@@paulsawtell3991 Hello Paul - I have read up a lot on the restrictions on broadcasting hours in Britain. It was on Jan 19th 1972 that the British government under the then Prime Minister Edward Heath lifted all restrictions on broadcasting hours. This led to your one commercial station ITV launching their full codified daytime schedule from Oct 16th 1972 and BBC One increasing their daytime programming including the launch of a magazine show Pebble Mill at One. Before 1972, the average amount of broadcasting hours per day for "general entertainment" was set at 8 hours. Anything else had to come from "exempted" programming which was schools, adult education, religious programmes, Welsh language programming, presentation, test transmissions and special events such as Trooping the Color. They provided an "outside broadcasting quota" which covered sporting events, and this was set at around 400 hours per year for both BBC and ITV by 1971. Hope this helps?
Nope, just that pretty much everyone was at work. There weren't enough potential viewers to warrant making daytime programming.
ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
Mamoties of repairing TVs in Liverpool back in the day.
Who did you work for? We rented from DER
@@andrewhesford8278 I worked for Stuart and Dorfman's then Red arrow who changed their name to Granada TV Rentals, then a short lived Tv Repair company AES. I then left Liverpool and started working for my self for 15 years then went into Industrial Electronics.
PAUL THIS IS GREAT
BBC announcer wouldn't say now it's 25past 11 it would be said it's now 25 mins past 11
I did say 25 mins past 11. LOL!
I’d be surprised if BBC announcers now could actually tell the time.
@@KevinM913 They certainly cannot speak properly!
Paul, what do you think about the alternative version of Walk & Talk ? I only heard it a few months ago on one of the TCC streams. Plenty more drums !!
Can't say I have ever heard it. Is it also played by Syd Dale? I do recall in the 1968-69 period the 8 bar ending was edited down to 4 bars which meant it was easier to fit into the 2 minutes alongside the pres.
@@paulsawtell3991 Hi, yes it sounds the same, except duration 1.52, the end is clipped, plus the drums at the end are scattered throughout the piece, about 8 times. I have a copy, but I don't know how I would get it to you.
@@siddn I suppose you could post it on YT and give a link to it here? Incidentally I am attempting to post an entire day of BBC2 trade, I hope it will prove of interest to some. At the time of writing I have posted up part one which runs from 0900-1200 on 8.6.72; at least as far as the music and films schedules go.
Now part two is up...
@@paulsawtell3991 Brilliant. Link now posted on The Test Card Circle Facebook page.
6 hours of dead time on the third channel. Yet we seemed to appreciate TV much more in those days.
I like to see again ride the white horses
It's available on RUclips, just type it in. I love It's soundtrack by Jeff Wayne.
is this a mock by any chance?
Based upon TX logs from Caversham so I prefer to call them re-creations.
So it's fake?
@@alexthegreat5005 I courteously refer you to my previous reply.
@@paulsawtell3991 just a yes or no would be nice
@@alexthegreat5005 It is a re-creation.
Simpler more innocent days, 50 years ago. Seems much less.
Yes, and I was just three and Play School age then. A simpler era to be a small child in!
How English does it get?
Also Paul our movie will be at 2.30 this s.afernoon not half past 2. Other than that friend you sound good
"Movie"?? And again you weren't listening! LOL!
fake. why?
@@paulsawtell3991 Still, great job here.
