Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Carole Hersee is a costume designer who is best known for appearing in the centrepiece of the iconic United Kingdom television Test Card F, which aired on BBC Television from 1967 to 1998 and was revived in 2009. As such she remains the most aired face in British television history. The card was developed in 1967 by her late father, BBC engineer George Hersee, who started by snapping test photographs of Carole and her younger sister, Gillian, with Carole ultimately being chosen to appear on the card simply because Gillian was without her two front teeth at the time. She was posed with a strategically placed Noughts and Crosses board and her own clown doll named Bubbles, which was brought on set specifically for the photo shoot. She was paid i?!100 for the shoot. The card was used on television in the UK and elsewhere for more than four decades, usually while there was no on-air programming
