    Trade Test Transmissions

    When BBC2 first came onto the air (1964 I believe) they had test transmissions leading up to the opening of BBC2

    One of the test transmissions was a movie starring Michelle Dotrice of Some Mothers Do Have Them fame as Betty alongside Frank Spencer played by Michael Crawford

    Michele's character with a friend cycled across France

    Does anyone remember this movie? Was it just a test movie or was it then & now commercially available?

    Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

    I don't know about the test transmission movie for BBC2, but what struck me was the description of Michele and friend cycling through France and how uncannily similar it is to the 1970 psychological thriller 'And soon the Darkness' in which Michele Dotrice and friend (Pamela Franklin) cycle through rural France on holiday and encounter a murderer.
