Blog Interlude One | The Kitten

Dear All, I am currently moving house, so until I am safely re-homed, stress-free and enjoying a spankingly speedy broadband connection, I leave you with a daily selection of splendid vintage Interlude Films, love Kathy xx

"Interlude films were used to "fill-in" gaps in the television schedule, either when there was a technical breakdown (valve technology was prone to breakdown frequently), or, in the early days of post-war television, to allow changes between studios.

The kitten's name was Snowy and he was owned by Mr Martin of Barnet, Herts. This film footage is from the Archive Collection held and administered by the Alexandra Palace Television Society. http://www.apts.org.uk
