History of the BBC Test card

The BBC test card is something all people of a certain age have seen although maybe without realising it. The test card was the little girl playing noughts and crosses that basically looked like a freeze frame from a children's show.

This link show all the previous test cards and gives you facts like the X is actually the centre of the testcard.

I wonder how many people had nightmares about the little girl.
