When I lived in Sussex, we regularly used to get B1French 819 Line TV wiping out BBC1, and I recall, after tweaking the horizontal hold a bit, it looked like two narow pictures side by side.
many years later, (in 2007) I bought a French 819 Line TV and fed it a 405 Line signal from an Aurora to see what it looked like. It looked very similar actually. See https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ad.php?t=17342
