Would make sense for them to show "Crown Court" seeing that was a Granada production. Excellent drama. Apparently all episodes survive in the archives. As for those colour filters did anyone actually use them?! |

Siegfried Farnon had a pre-war Rover (not P2) in 'All Creatures Great and Small", but that doesn't look like Robert Hardy to me.

Re: 405 in Colour. Well, sort-of.
I don't think I could tell the difference in that photo between Rovers leading up the war and those post war. I've never watched Crown Court but looking on YouTube it appears to be set in the 1970s and at that time Rovers as suggested were seldom used as every day transport. I would suggest that the setting is not much later than mid 1950s.

Re: 405 in Colour. Well, sort-of.
Hi all,
Having seen adverts for these things in vintage copies of Practical Television, it is interesting to see what they looked like. I thought the colour tinting would be a bit stronger. I wonder how many were sold. Obviously a load of rubbish though. Cheers Andy

Re: 405 in Colour. Well, sort-of.
There has been previous thread on these 'items'.
As I said in that thread, I bought one as an impressionable teenager and it was held in place by two pieces of thin cord at the top of each corner of the tinted screen with what I can only describe as insulated fishing hooks on the end of each cord which you hooked onto the back of the set so no sticky tape involved. In my case, the set had some ventilation holes at the top of the back of the set and attaching it was very easy. It was otherwise just like the Odgens one, and just as 'effective'. I am pretty sure I bought it through an advert in Exchange and Mart magazine. After I week I decided it was pretty useless and got my money back - thankfully. Who would have thought that a dozen or so years later I would be recording episodes of Crown Court on a quad VTR machine in central London as they were being transmitted by Granada around lunchtime. Enough thread drift from me! |

Re: 405 in Colour. Well, sort-of.
I think the (interesting to me) Vectrex home video game system had coloured overlays for the CRT screen, a different one for each games cartridge.
This is not to be confused with the 3D/colour add-on for that machine. |

Re: 405 in Colour. Well, sort-of.
Speed Bug was another arcade game with a monochrome screen using coloured filters.
This was obvious when you crashed into something & the edge of it would turn yellow. |
