Too much going on to blog - not bad stuff, just busy stuff and Internet stuff -
and in fact I am looking forward to telling you about an amazing
nearly-abandoned village which I feel I've been wanting to find for years! But
right now I need to make time for an Interlude. And here is one, which I've been
keeping handy in my draft folder for an occasion like this... .
In the 1950s and 1960s, the BBC didn't broadcast all the time - they only had programmes in the evenings. They ran "Interlude" films for a while before the day's programmes began. This one shows a potter playing with shapes on a wheel. Please, take a few minutes break and gently hypnotise yourself watching it.

They also had test cards for the truly desperate to watch.
This is the BBC's (But what are IBA and BREMA? Does anyone know?)
And the ITA apparently had the card below. I think the initials probably stand for "Independent Television Authority."
I'll be back soon, like the programmes....
