British TV in the 70s: Just 3 Channels and SUCH Strict Rules!
How did the British watch television in the 1970s-80s? It was a completely different era!
Only 3 channels until 1982: BBC One, BBC Two, and ITV. No streaming, no choice. Missed a program? Wait a year for a repeat. Or don't wait at all.
At midnight, television SHUT DOWN. The national anthem "God Save the Queen" played, the test card with the girl and clown appeared, a monotonous tone... and that's it. Until morning — just static.
A TV licence was mandatory. £18 a year — almost half a weekly wage! Detector vans drove the streets "catching" licence evaders.
Black-and-white TVs until the mid-70s. Colour sets cost a fortune — more than two months' salary!
