Ever since the dawn of television, test patterns have been used to help engineers and viewers alike, calibrate and tune their sets to achieve the best possible picture. From a simple line & circle, to tuning signals, up until the introduction of what we would call, the Test Card. From the late 1940s to the mid-1960s, the Test Card would gradually evolve in the world of black-and-white, but all of that would change in 1967...
With the introduction of colour, a brand new colour Test Card was required. Engineer George Hersee, would photograph his then 8-year-old daughter Carole, together with her clown Bubbles. And little did they know, that Test Card F, would go on to not only become a synonymous image for colour television, but for classic television as a whole.
Join me, as we explore the history, impact & legacy, of Test Card F!
