The Tube - a photo on Flickriver

The Tube

            Once upon a time, TVs were bulky devices, but there was no such thing as a big TV; they all had small screens. There were only two channels - BBC and ITV (ITA). Apart from the channel buttons, there was usually a knob to adjust the contrast and the brightness and a volume control. There was no remote control, no video recorders, no internet connections (no internet either). There was nothing 'smart' about these TVs. Just a black and white picture. Programmes were broadcast from lunchtime to about 11 o'clock at night, not all day as at present. An alarm sounded after close-down to remind anyone asleep on the settee to switch the set off. In the morning, a test card was transmitted so you could check the picture quality. They were not the good old days that everyone talks about.
