Welcome to my RUclips channel, where you will find many of the Trade Test Colour Films which BBC2 showed around the time it went from Black & White to Colour broadcasting.
Many of these films were really interesting and I still occasionally watch them for a bit of nostalgia for how things were done "properly" in days gone by. Tracking down these films and getting copies is both time-consuming and (unfortunately) can be fairly expensive ☹️
I hope you like the channel and perhaps enjoy some of the films again 😊 If so, you can Buy Me a Coffee to show your appreciation/support for the channel - the link is below.
I've also uploaded some public information films from around the same time too, and hopefully you will enjoy at least some of them too 😊
Thanks for visiting 😊

One Jump Ahead

A film from 1967 about technology in the British postal service. How electronically-controlled machines have been developed to segregate the different classes of mail and send them ready for dispatch to their destination, as demonstrated at the Norwich GPO.

UK Public Information Film - Mums and Dads: use pedestrian crossings
Yes,colonialism really fkd up Africa didn't it !!!!! Not even the wheel.......
Something tells me he's not going to get much driving done 21:45.
Does anybody know what the experiment was that was being carried out here.
I only vaguely remember this one, but Atlantic Parks, Evoluon, Single Propeller, Plastics and Giuseppina were watched many times, and have stayed in the old memory. Still it's a great one and a bit of Gary Cooper influence in the acting, it seems.
ある男性の遺体から「六」と言う漢字の書いてある弾が見つかり、この人は戦時中ヨーロッパ大陸ではなくてアジア方面に行っていたことがわかった、と言うシーンが忘れられない。
This is 1964-65. The VC 10 shown in the two men talking scenes (which is the point of the film) did not enter service until 1964. The London street scenes are stock footage but can be dated (by a Dr Crippen film poster on bus at 4:11) to Aug 1963. The Edinburgh Festival poster at 16:29 is the 1964 version
This was originally shown on BBC2 in 1983 I think
Any idea where this was filmed?
Always remember "Electricty never misses a chance to complete a circuit"!
Must've watched this fifty times back in the early 1970s on BBC2. Funny how I half-recall certain bits but others not at all.
I remember watching this in the school holidays many times.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
I do believe I'm in possession of the master VHS tape of this version of "A Flight of Fancy," since I purchased it directly from ART Film & Video in Perivale, in 1993!

Death Children R.I.P Kids goodbye css
poor children
We got our colour TV especially for the moon landing in 1969... Unfortunately most of it was broadcast in black and white... I remember this as one of the BBC Trade Transmissions and because of it always wanted to visit this cathedral affectionately known as 'Paddy's Wigwam' Took nearly fifty four years but finally visited it last week... 😮 Still remember people knocking on the door to see our colour TV... The new ariel gave us away ☺️

Yes!
If remember these test transmissions including this Aussie one. Especially the number of gears!!! There was also a programme about plastics. “All are good insulators and some are superb”.
My parents took me there several times in my childhood. Unforgettable experience!
It's interesting seeing what remained of the palace. It' a shame that it's built over part of the old palace but when. you go there it makes you realise how large it was (the footprint of the palace was even larger when it was in Hyde park, although in Penge Common, the palace had a larger volume ar 30.32). The square water tower is still there when this was taken which powered the water flumes/rides at 30.32. At 32.29 you can see the fountains are still there, along with the central walkway. At 38.17 you can see the grand victorian villas that were sadly demolished to build rather horrible flats. You can also see Rockhills, the victorian villa where the designer of the palace, Joseph Paxton lived. This too was sadly demolished. 4.30 you can see a very small part of the part of the palace that survived the fire but was burnt down by moro…i mean arsonists, in around 1956. This linked up with the lower station which still survives and has been restored (in the early 90s this too was derelict).
Haha!
First 😅
Used this for all the time I worked with electronics and ship systems. Still here!! Saw it when it was a test transmission for BBC2 colour transmission set ups in the 70's. I was only a boy then, when I was poorly and off school. Still useful today.
Thanks for this.
Many thanks, never seen this one before. 🙂
Adorable, indeed!
I’m fairly sure that the end of the film shows Eastcote, with other locations around the area, such as Ruislip Gardens tube station (the viaduct and old Central tube stock give it away).

It was indeed used as a BBC2 Trade Test Transmission film, but I seem to remember the narrative voice-over had a more English, rather than American accent? 🤔
Tak!
I don't have time to watch right this moment but this looks like something I'd really enjoy. I'll settle down to watch tomorrow. Thanks so much for posting.
“MIKE, LOOK OUT!” 0:44
And look at it now, gone, thanks to useless governments. I used to watch these films as a kid, they got me into engineering.
No wonder colour CRTs were so expensive back in the day.
Ah, the rich at play! Don't remember seeing it as a trade test. Impressed by the steadiness of the helicopter shots even at long telephoto, before the days of fancy gyro stabilised camera mounts. Looks like the camera ship was an Allouette 2.
Best TV show theme song ever.
Oh I don't know about that - I love Strange Report's theme 🙂
The VC10 was a beautiful aircraft. Typical euro design, even now airbus are knocking out some stunning designs.
Look up the Gomez - Bring it on video, good parody

Have you tried it?
There is a radio nova in spijkenisse on 92.2 mhz fm in stereo and rds
Fear of crime, fear of viruses, lots of irrational fears, dislike of nasty weather etc. There are plenty of reasons most people will choose cars, however nice or cheap public transport is.
Those were the days when you could turn up off the boat in Australia and as long as you spoke English you had a job. Try it now and you’ll be back on the way back home. 😅
I remember this I loved seeing it when I was a kid, fantastic narration 👏👏👏
I wonder how many people's education was enhanced by watching the marvellous trade test films of the 70's - this one "Paint" is excellent in it's narration and music and of course the imagery is inspired !
And I thought pipeline work today sucked😂😂😂, them 798 boys got it made. Bunch a premaddonnas.
Always thought patrick Allen was the narrator, unless there is 2 versions.
Remember it well and it's been well over 50 years since I last watched it.
