Your VCR won't encode the RGB signal from the Beeb into a PAL composite signal for the TV, I'm afraid. You'll get no picture that way, just a blank screen. The Beeb's own RF output should be in colour unless the machine is faulty. However, you'll get vastly better picture quality from a proper Cub monitor, or even the RGB SCART cable in to a modern TV.
