This was from the time period where Pages From Ceefax was shown rather than Test Card F say, from around mid 1983 to late 1986 on both BBC1 and BBC2, sometimes both at the same time indeed. Thank you for the memories!
@Bruce Danton Don't forget that channel 4 would have been playing their tapes of music accompanied with 4-tel on view and Pages from Oracle. And all 4 channels were probably playing off air music at the same time during the mornings of school term times because For Schools and Colleges on ITV had 2 pieces of music between programmes instead of commercials.
Ceefax in vision sequences had been around since around late 1979 and started threatening the Test Card F schedule in January 1982. Although billed as closedown in Radio Times, pages from the BBC teletext information service Ceefax were in fact shown and not Test Card F on BBC1 during May and June 1983 during a 35 minute gap in Schools transmission.
Yes why not too. We like many others I am sure had a tv set then that had it built in but of course you had then the often fairly long ceefax in vision with music times on both bbc channels when there was nothing else on which we're very nice too in my view.
Had ceefax been on air there since breakfast time apart from the break for play school I wonder. In those days I know they did right up to the 12 30 news as well
Sounds like the Hi Livin tape with the tail end of the track that had the singers that went "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo doo doo doo doo-doo-doo doo doo doo doo doo"

Jimmy Tarbuck lying on a bed of Nails with Chorus Girls on top of him, you would think it would be the other way round? Call Operation Yewtree!

Friday, 25th November 1983.
The continuity announcer in this video is Martin King who died of stomach cancer not long after his 86th birthday in 2019.
@@grahampearson5670such a shame there too. Alas the same illness my mum had in 1996 when she died of it too.

David Clapperton Indeed it is. The track's called "Tobago"
Ian Mcclavin Does it appear in any other video at the moment, in full?
Chris Tsangari I don't think it's posted up on CZcams at present. The Test Card Circle can help. Check their website for details.
Found it! :-D Heard it and said "was that it?!" Was ok
