Description

It is not known for certain when this film marked as “Colour Test Footage” dates from. Press reports suggest that UTV had planned a new purpose built colour-capable studio on the Annadale Embankment in Belfast in 1969, but these plans were then shelved. UTV’s progression into colour didn’t happen until September 1970 but was then shelved again due to a strike and UTV were still making programmes in black and white throughout 1971. This very colourful footage could therefore date from any period around this time.
