Yes it was the girl with the blackboard and the clown. Her name was Carol Hersee, the daughter of an engineer whose job it was to get the test signals right before transmission of programmes. I looked like her when I was 5...quite spookily!

Yes as it was used to set up the colours on a colour tv set, with that gone and all the other junk it is sometimes difficult to get true colours from any set!

Yes, it was better than a lot of the programmes they are still repeating from the sixties.
