- Recorded off TV from Aug Bank Holiday in 1993 - tracks 1 - 5 and the beginning of track 6 from the long-lived Europa Time tape, briefly fades onto Ceefax at 17:00 before footage sadly cuts off.
Thank you for this-very nice too of course!!
Great video. Always enjoyed seeing Test card F. We had it here in Australia back in the analogue days and prior to 24 hour TV operation.
THIS IS REAL PROFESSIONAL MUSIC!
Reminds me of a tune that should have been used for the Radio 1 MW/AM distribution tests when there was a change in wavelengths in November 1978
I was 9 years old starting a new week at primary school
When my life wasn't unbearable
I just used the 'Shazam' app to find out what the first track (a little jaunty disco number) is called and the artist. It's called "Happy End" by Vladimir Cosma from the French Soundtrack of a movie called "L' Animal' starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Raquel Welch so obviously a 70's movie. When I get time I will 'Shazam' the other tracks.
that's not the real song name though
Oh this is my favourite song and I love so much and now this reminds of the old video of ceefax of the year when I was born 1998 and now I like the European type music that is my favourite and now I love it more. And I like the test card.
Charlie, test card and Ceefax music from this period is a lot better than the crap they play on Radio 1.
Yes alot better than that stupid radio that interrupts what they saying and believe or not I always watch the TV and when you are in the car or any vehicle that hasn't got a TV that really bugs me when go into the tunnel and radio keeps interrupting what they trying to say so I always watch the TV.
And if you were around much earlier than the 1990's you would recall just one programme on BBC2 at 11am on BBC2 before 7.30pm, and periods of daytime closedown on BBC1.
And for a time after November 1982, you had 4 channels all playing test card music at the same time including the interludes on Schools and Colleges on weekday mornings on ITV with the big countdown clock.
@@dvidclapperton You are so right there of course too really!
Europa Time is most popular tape first ran in February 1992 until 8th November 1997 last played Ceefax over on BBC1. Europa Time surviving tape moved over to BBC2 from 9th November 1997 and first played on 15th November 1997 Ceefax normally from 01.00 until 02,00 early hours overnight The Learning Zone Educational Resources programmes from 02.00 until 07.15 return to Ceefax break. Europa Time tape ran until June 2001.
Anyway replaces She's For Me had ran in 1987.
What is the tune at 13.01 called?
