[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1052085, member: 746"] Well, there were occasional colour broadcasts from 1962. Fellow at fathers lab (ICI) got a few Murphy 19" sets and we had one at home. In 1967 Wimbledon was in colour and soon after ITV. The TV took ages to warm up - a good 3 minutes if I recall ITV's broadcast colours were (and still are) larger than life. They liked pinks and reds. It was sensational but tiring. If you watch these early shows now, they seem so stilted and the broadcasters all spoke the Queen's English and had these fruity voices.
