68 Mexico Olympics. Went to some family friends down South and they had a colour TV.Ali Frazier 1970
Funny how different footage I've seen since switches between B&W then colour.Bologna v Blackpool in the Anglo-Italian cup final.
Wiseman’s on Dickson road.In tv shop windows. There would be several people watching at the same time . I think tennis at Wimbledon was the first sport broadcast in colour. Colour tv is coming to Preston next year for the first time ever so it will brighten up the Nobbers dull lives.
You say that but we had a B+W telly till 1990. Got a new colour one for the world cup...I don't remember black and white TV, I'm not an old man.

Me too.Can’t remember, I’m too old
'Qualification Was in Sight' is a great name for the book of Scotland's tournament history.Funny you should say that td, we got our first colour telly in 1978 when my dad decided to get one for the World Cup.
Obviously I was very young, I can't remember seeing much of England during the tournament but I was able to enjoy watching watching Archie Gemmill score the greatest goal in World Cup history in glorious technicolour.
I might be being slightly economic with the truth, I didn't get to see Archie's wonder goal as I was only 6 and not allowed to stay up to watch it but my dad woke me up when Scotland went 3-1 up and qualification was in sight.
England didn't qualify in 78. Decent WC I recall the ticker tape at the beginning of the Argentina games but they were allegedly drugged to the gills and after one match stayed out playingFunny you should say that td, we got our first colour telly in 1978 when my dad decided to get one for the World Cup.

I was at a friend's house and they had a colour TV. It was a massive piece of furniture and the colour on the tangerine shorts bled everywhere. I do remember that it was cut off at 90 minutes. I now have a DVD of the whole game...in bleedin' b&w!Funny how different footage I've seen since switches between B&W then colour.
I remember watching the game at home as a family & think it was in colour?
Same, my parents got it specifically for that.Princess Anne’s wedding, there was only 1colour telly in the street, over at the Pilkington’s and the whole street filled their front room with us kids sat on the floor in front of the new box ! Them were the days !
I know its been done on here before 66 but how they could disappear after 90 mins . Obviously back then everyone was left in disarray not knowing Mickey Burns had scored that beauty in technicolorI was at a friend's house and they had a colour TV.

Sarcasm? After saying you were young and didn't remember England I was stating a fact. I wasn't trying to be remotely sarcastic."England didn't qualify in 78"
Apologies Shandy.
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and the highest form of vulgarity.

I apologise as wellShandy
I was the one who was being sarcastic, I knew full well that England didn't qualify.
Apologies.
Even today, you can still adjust your modern TV set to black and white simply by turning the colour right down.I don't remember black and white TV, I'm not an old man.
