A look back to the early days of an established colour television PAL broadcasting system in the United Kingdom.
During the 1970's these amazing films provided a break in between the test card and television service trade information and provided a chance to view some of the best freely available interesting colour films then available. This mixed range of footage was often 'sponsored' as an indirect form of advertising, but these colour movie features were indeed classics in their own right.

The idea surrounding the joy of Coach Travel for its own sake, was once set firm in our national psychic. Outings and daytrips around he rural highways and byways of good old Great Britain were always well supported by so many families after WW2 through the 1960's and well into the 1970's.
Here's another slice of delightful nostalgia which was repeated each time these beautiful professionally made, colour films were show between the regular television programming as 'Trade Test Films', as the 625 line, PAL system analogue television transmission was being established.

Enjoy this film on two levels, one of social history; the way we used to travel together, and then to the days of the first regular Colour Television broadcasting system in the UK.
