Default Re: Fifty Years of Colour Television in the UK

Has anyone else seen the first colour episode of, "Coronation Street" on the Network 1960-69 compilation? It was never originally transmitted in colour of course as the titles and filmed inserts were still in black and white.

Not sure what cameras they used but they were clearly problems possibly caused from insufficient lighting and over exposed colours, glowing lipstick for example.

The December 1969 episode showed they'd overcome the problems with excellent quality throughout.
