Description Fairly self-explanatory for anyone who's English, this was originally 'Test Card F', an image that is shown on TV when the stations have closed. It was designed to allow TV engineers to match up the colours and adjust the TV screen to a default setting.

The girl in the middle was the designer's daughter, and rumour has it her life was made miserable by other schoolkids as she was forever remembered as "the girl off the test card" .

I've mostly just enhanced the colours, altered the expressions, and added a couple of things so far. It's not quite finished yet...

I always remember this BBC's test card.

I saw it when I was small and I heard some some weird beeping sounds.

I thought it was creppy.

I think it still appears when the BBC closes down but I am not too sure.

Anyway, that is good.

Test cards freak me out. They scare me s***less.
If I were the girl, I'd write "HELP ME" too.

I love test cards... I could just imagine Carole (I think that's her name) rapping on the screen screaming "lemme out!" and then getting out ala Life on Mars!

lol, reminds me of Christmas days when I'd get up exceptionally early and wait for the tv stations to start broadcasting. Now it's loads of adverts and cheesy musak.
