Default TV 50 years ago

I came across this old photograph I had taken of the TV screen circa
1954 or 55 (probably February 1955)

It is reassuring just how much clearer the graphics are today (???!!!)

The presenter (arms waving) looks remarkable like today's Desperate Dan
- his grandfather perhaps?

Didn't realise Mr Corbett was so old! Good to see his Norwegian hatchets
spreading in from the East. You'll definitely need a sturdy umbrella and a
warm coat with numbers between an italicised 1 and 1111.
