A girl once appeared on a television test card in 1969.
The Tenth Doctor once described seeing a girl who played noughts and crosses with a clown on television. (PROSE: Autonomy)
The Fifth Doctor tried to tell Nyssa about test cards, after they saw the original 1963 test card on Bob Dovie's television, but she had no idea what he was talking about. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)
Behind the scenes
The image of Carole Hersee and a toy clown playing noughts and crosses was the real world image used on BBC produced test cards, such as Test Card F. Hersee's father, George Hersee, was the BBC engineer who developed the test card. A version of this test card appears in the Cyberman Ident Interruption in 2017, in which a CyberMondan 'interrupts' BBC One's continuity announcement and 'upgrades' announcer Duncan Newmarch. As this happens, a distorted test card featuring the image of Hersee briefly appears as the transmission is interrupted.
