Thanks Steve for the link to that video, it certainly shows what they had to put up with back then. I am 71 and can remember our first telly back in 1952 which was nothing as big as 17 inches, it was a Bush 9 inch with a brown fluted Bakelite case. Don’t remember anything as interesting as that being broadcast though. At age 6 I used to travel with my dad delivering caravans all over using a 80inch series 1 Land Rover. Not in a wagon, but it infected me with “white line fever” just the same.
Les.
