Who remembers this? This is the image they used to display on TV when there were no programmes to broadcast, and there was usually some accompanying muzak (or a high-pitched beep if it was late at night).
Personally I always thought the dwarf clown was a bit creepy. The girl too. And she is clearly playing noughts and crosses by herself as the clown has no arms to speak of. I wonder what she grew up to be.

Also, maybe it could come out on a slow news day, they could just say "There is no more news today" and put on the testcard.

Hi Jason,
ReplyDeleteNo book yet, but it does take about a month to get stuff here from China and you are a little bit further away again... It'll get here eventually - hopefully.
Yes, the whole thing is creepy and if you look at it, not too closely, you can almost imagine that the young lady in question is smirking - for surely that is what it is a representation of a forced smile - whilst she is about to put a pen through the neck of the equally creepy looking clown / dummy. Perhaps the clown / dummy was called Timmy the clown and I can almost hear her saying (in her best Enid Blyton voice): Take that Timmy you rat!
Sorry, we are getting a bit silly here aren't we?
Cheers. Chris
