This was one that frequently popped up, alongside Evoluon, Atlantic Parks, Stained glass, Paint, Guiseppina: The little Italian girl at the petrol station, Plastics and Divertimento. All of them fascinating and strange for the kids we were in the late 60's/early 70's

The Cattle Carters and Overhall.

Wow! A blast from the past. This was one of my favourite and one of the most frequently aired BBC Trade Test Films. I must have seen it 50 times; at first in Black and White then in glorious colour when we got the shiny new (Radio Rentals) colour TV. The locations were impossibly far away and glamorous at the time. Now I have visited all of them and it's strange to see this film again in context of personal experience. Please keep them coming. I think you have now posted all of the TTFs that I remember except for the Canadian one with the dancing. Was it Expo '67?

I like the lady dancing with her blonde hair up
