You got me thinking now Baz. Just trying to remember if my parents had a black and white in the 1970's. Will ask my Mum.

They may have done EC, cos I don't think we got a colour TV until the late 70s
I used to have a black and white portable in my bedroom when I lived at my parents, I thought it was great
GJ, my faher bought a television for the coronation and claimed he was the first person in Gloucester to have one. Neighbours came to his house to watch the coronation.
I remember the first time I ever watched anything on a colour TV, it was the film State Fair at my auntie's house on a Saturday afternoon, I can remember the day of the week but not the year! At a guess I'd say I was about 7 years old, so 1967?
We had one when I was growing up. It was in my parents room and was very small in comparison to the sets these days.
my family was so poor we had a black and white telly till well into the 80s
Hill Street Blues was the first thing I saw in colour
I bet some have got colour tellies but are still buying a b & w licence
I know someone who until very recently had a black and white TV - he got a considerable number of checks on him to confirm he still had black and white as he only had a B&W licence.
We gave him an old colour telly and he's that tight - he waited for his B&W licence to expire before he begrudgingly bought a colour licence - only then did he plug it in.
He's dead tight but scrupulously honest too.
Had a black and white TV in the 80s as a bedroom TV. It was one of those ones with round aerials at the back, something like this

I can remember having one like that as a kid in the room where we weren't allowed to watch TV when Dad was sleeping, and one Christmas we had to watch The Wizard of Oz on it, I wasn't impressed, the best bit is when it turns to colour.
