And for those of you too young to remember Tv was not on 24/7
It would come on for an hour at lunchtime to show watch with mother and then back on about 5pm.
Tv would then close down at night with a rendition of the national anthem (i might have made that bit up (just going to ggogle it now.
The BBC would always play the National Anthem before closedown. Also don't forget about the schools programmes on the morning sometimes and the trade test transmissions on BBC2 when BBC2 was going nationwide (we got it around early '69 if I remember rightly), before that there was just the 2, BBC on Ch 5 and ITV on Ch 8 (405 lines before 625 lines), I think, memory a bit foggy now
