50 Years Of Colour - So Answer This Question.

[10ClarionSt]

The first colour broadcast on the BBC was Wimbledon in 1967, but, which film has been shown on British TV more than any other? There is a connection here. I've asked this question before on here. Let's see who remembers the answer, and why it's connected!

[Mamyalynne]

The connection is to - 50 Years of Colour Broadcasting.

So any colour show in 1967 would have the same connection.

[Tilly2]

Just about to say the same thing, 10 Clarion...

[Mamyalynne]

The question was - Which film has been shown most.

[Tilly2]

'Let's see who remembers the answer, and why it's connected!'

[Tilly2]

Was the only colour to show, yellow?

[sapelesam]

The question states there is a connection between the most shown film and Wimbledon. The tenuous link is both shown in colour in 1967. That is hardly a connection in my book. Had John Wayne won the Mens Singles, that would be a connection.

Ta 10C, I'll leave you to it.

[Tilly2]

I am now completely lost.

Thank you Tilly2, it's not just me. My parents had the second colour TV licence in Whitley Bay and the TV had to be turned towards the window for passers by to be astonished.

Then of course there was snooker. Who remembers "whispering" Ted Lowe saying "Griffiths is snookered on the brown, which, for those of you watching in black and white, is the ball directly behind the pink."?

I still remember the hours spent setting up convergence on the old Cathode Ray Tubes, so that objects didn't have a primary colour edge. It all started with the white cross on the little girl's blackboard in the dead centre off the test card.
