Jamie Coulson takes to the air to find out how the East Midlands and Yorkshire have coped with the worst cold snap in a quarter of a century. He meets the hill farmer who's had to brush the snow from her pillow and says we should all stop whinging, and travels with Lincolnshire police over some of the region's most treacherous roads. Also, Ray Gosling goes in search of the young people accused of anti-social behaviour. Ray used to be a teddy boy himself. But he says even he's intimidated by rowdy behaviour on street corners and on buses. Now he hears the other side of the story from young people who feel they're being demonised. And for a generation of TV viewers it's an iconic image: the test card featuring a girl playing noughts and crosses with a toy clown. For test card historian Keith Hamer, from Derby, it's a work of art and a piece of TV engineering excellence. But not for the young girl it featured. Inside Out this week looks at both of their stories and discovers how 'Test Card F' is making a hi-tech comeback.
