Allison Bird sometime in the late 1970s at 98 Shakespeare House watching (what appears to be ) Space 1999 on a black and white TV. My gran had a TV which was very similar. I recall when it was switched on it had a small white dot in the middle of the screen which appeared until the TV had warmed up and then began. Even as I type that I feel very old! Note the box to the side of the TV which appears to be Pong! A great slice of 1970s Kersal Life!
