My mistake. The BBC1 recording is the one with the problem. TCJ appears, then when the switch to RBS takes place, it goes to rolling black, with tone and speaking clock.


Interesting, Louis. If Test Card J appeared at all, then it was an RBS, because the analogue network was only fed with Pages from CEEFAX during the tests


Pages from Ceefax on BBC1?

In this case, no, I had mixed up BBC-1 and BBC-2. It was BBC-2 that was running Pages from CEEFAX on the network feed.

However, we do still show Pages from CEEFAX on BBC-1 Scotland from time to time.
