Black & White Television
Clive:
I would have been too scared in those days. :laugh: Quatermass was edge of the seat stuff. A bit like Doctor Who. ;D
Clive:
Anyway, the answer to Gill's question about how people with black and white sets can view TV when analogue has been switched off is that they connect a Freeview box to the TV. o:)

You're right, I really enjoy the Quatermass films even now, being in black and white just adds to the suspense.

Then one day you woke up to find a TV transmitter in your back yard. And then you realised that the only thing they show on TV is adverts. :facepalm: I must admit I felt left out of it when all my school chums were singing "The Esso sign means happy motoring" and "You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth in Pepsodent". Now I haven't a clue what the advert is trying to sell me. :ack:

My favourite horror film was the black and white Night of the Demon which is a stalwart of the Talking Pictures channel that is run from a garden shed by a father and his daughter. It's one of the few "amateur" channels that makes money.
