yes it did bring back memories. ( but I did watch it originally in black and white not colour ).
Other television series from the early 1970's I have found have been Time Slip ( I think ? ) and Catweazle.
Time Slip is correct, the entire series is on DVD. Sadly though they were all made in Colour only one episode is still in colour.
On the DVD collection is an update showing how the cast looks all grown up. The place it was done is now a housing estate!
Not quite as four out of six episodes of the last story were made during the colour strike and commenced with the rare B&W version of the zoom ident on their original 2" transmission tapes.

Just to be confusing the Burn Up story was colour throughout but shown during the colour strike. They had their full colour debut in 1974 which looked wonderful.

You're right about one episode surviving in colour though. The others survive as export b&w film telerecordings under the ITC banner.
