...there would just be a high pitched sound and a photo of a girl and a puppet...

That'll be the test card

Also there was 'the interludes' when they had to fill in a mini gap between programs, including, my personal favourite 'the potters wheel'

Also do you remember the public safety films? The don't go near deep water Content Warning- includes Jimmy Saville, stay away from the slurry pit, how to survive the bomb and the one that gave me nightmares broken glass (I can never frolic barefoot on the beach because of this film)

If my generation has emotional scaring it's because of these films..

edit- for those that want a nightmare fueled trip down memory lane the bfi Public Information Film archives
