The card has every color and test that the TV station needs to transmit properly. Carole is used to tell if skin tones look right. Bubbles the Clown was originally blue and white, but they are already in the picture, and green was needed. So a green wrap was made for Bubbles's body. However, the shade of green was too subtle for the producers made it more pronounced in the final picture.

  • The card was designed by George Hersee and features his daughter Carole Hersee. It made its first appearance on BBC2 in 1967. By the time it was no longer in regular use, it had been shown for an estimated 70,000 hours. It is thought that Ms Hersee holds the record for the most TV appearances by a single person. Ms Hersee was born on 25 November 1958 and became a costume designer and mother of two.

Ms Hersee was born on 25 November 1958 and became a costume designer and mother of two. The original design has changed over the years, including an electronic version in the eighties and an HD version. The key differences between the original and today's version are the labels for the frequency grating and the addition of a colour bar at the top.
