There's no big innovation left in TV now, it's sad to think there'll never be that moment of standing and looking in a shop window wth awe.
In 1967, @Wimbledon marked the beginning of regular colour TV in Britain. It was launched by controller of @BBCTwo, Sir David Attenborough.pic.twitter.com/mxBznngeFE

There were so few colour programmes, Radio Rentals provided a free 405 line b&w portable with our colour set.
-
Good work BBC keep the updates flowing
-
One of BBC's first colour TV programmes was "Pot Black" as it was cheap to produce and introduced snooker to the British public.

@BBC@Wimbledon@BBCTwo is that@DjokerNole ? -
Are you sure it wasn't the Bournemouth Open? My apologies if my shaky memory has let me down on this.

Was Uncle Jack from We Happy Few based on Attenborough
-
... and this happened thanks to Guillermo González Camarena, Mexican electrical engineer!!!
-
Wow!!! BBC, Wimbledon + Environment (mainly Oceans) with Sir David Attenborough... a "cocktail" with my favorite ingredients!!!
-
Sadly my Mother refused to buy a colour set until 1975!! But that was a momentous day in the household when it was delivered.
-
one things for sure....tennis was shit in 1967

I can think of an innovation. Getting rid of the extortionate licence fee
-
Extortionate? Hardly. 40p a day for all the BBC's output - TV, Radio, iPlayer, websites. Do you think £2.30 a day for Sky is better?
-
Extortionate because we're compelled to pay. Sky is a choice. I rarely watch BBC & could easily avoid it entirely. We shouldn't have to pay!
-
You pay a lot more than 40p a day for ITV etc. TV ads v. expensive, every penny paid from your shopping bill, no choice about that, either.
-
That's some blatant false equivalency right there
-
False equivalency how? Every time you buy something advertised on ITV, you're paying a bit extra, for the TV ads. How else are they funded?
-
We can choose which product we buy. We can't choose to not pay the licence fee. There will be advertising costs incured regardless of TV ads
-
Bottom line - you pay for ITV every day, and Sky - even if you don't have it! You have no choice, whether or not you like it (or admit it).
