Probably second favourite for most people of all trade test colour films, just pipped by it’s sister film The Home-made Car, this is a delightful tale about a bored young Italian girl living through the Summer of 1966 at her father’s petrol station where daily life carries on without much excitement. Giuseppina sees people come and people go and we eavesdrop on this quaint out in the sticks service station the its comings and goings. For me, the classic line comes towards the end of the day when Beppe, a local five year old boy stops and asks Signor Rossi to fill up his toy car. Giuseppina’s dad obliges and takes care and time over Beppe. After he has gone Giuseppina turns to her dad and says “Why bother with Beppe, he’s only five, not a bit important?” Signor Rossi turns to his daughter and says “Everyone is important Giuseppina……Everyone.”

Trade on Video: Where to Buy BBC Trade Test Colour Films

Russell Chaney writes

Of all the films shown by the BBC as trade test colour films, the more popular ones, such as Shell and BP, are still largely available but some of the others are more difficult to track down.

In this listing I have indicated the contacts where the films are readily available at a reasonable cost.

BP INTERNATIONAL LTD (also holds National Benzole films)
Britannic Tower, Moor Lane, Moorgate, LONDON, EC2Y 9BU.
Contact: Colin Swinson, 020-7496 2264. Approximate cost: £37.50 per VHS tape.

PEN TAN VIDEO LTD (holds BOAC films)
Imex House, 6 Wadsworth Road, PERIVALE, Middx., UB6 7JJ.
Contact: Paul Johnson, 020-8991 2458. Approximate cost: £45 per VHS tape. 

PHILIPS INTERNATIONAL B.V. (holds Dutch titles but almost certainly not the Mullard and Pye films)
Company Archives/Historiography, Building EN, Postbus 218, 5600 MD Eindhoven, NETHERLANDS.
Contact: Dr. I. J. Blanken, 00 31 40-757486. Approximate cost: £65 per VHS tape.

SHELL INTERNATIONAL PETROLEUM COMPANY LTD
PAC/232, Shell Centre, LONDON, SE1 7NA.
Contact: Eddie Cannon, 020-7934 6577. Approximate cost: £12.50 per VHS tape.

TEAM SPIRIT (holds Ford films)
P.O. Box 1281, POOLE, Dorset, BH14 9YL.
Contact: Michael Skinner, 01202-735961. Approximate cost: £25 per VHS tape. 

The Editor adds:

In some cases the original organisation which commissioned the films has changed name (e.g. Pye and Mullard are now Philips, the British Travel Association is the British Tourist Authority, and AEI is now part of GEC). Some companies have disposed of their older films, although copies may exist in the libraries of technical colleges, county education authorities and the British Film Institute.

Some readers may feel that the charges shown above for these films are unreasonable compared with a sell-through tape selling for £9.99 or whatever. These tapes sell by the thousands, these specialist films do not. In fact it is remarkable that the companies concerned are prepared to sell copies at all; there is no real profit in the activity and other firms have a policy of not making their films available at all. You need to be aware that having films transferred to video on a one-off basis is normally expensive (facilities houses will charge from £50 to £100 per film) and subject to extensive copyright clearance. 

DIESEL TRAIN RIDE (British Transport Films) available from FAME, P.O. Box 608, Hailsham, Sussex, BN27 3UN (01323-849186) price £19.85. FAME is the company which licenses all British Transport Films and many other BTF titles are available on other video labels.

OVERHAUL. It is understood that this film and some other BTF titles are sold by the London Transport Museum, Covent Garden, LONDON, WC2E 7BB (020-7379 6344).
