Colour TV 50 years old today

Remember when the World was still in black & white? Apparently 8,000 households across Britain still see it that way, but for the rest of us, our screens were filled with colour.
I can remember coming home from school & the TV being on, which was unusual in the middle of the afternoon. I sat & watched it for a couple of minutes before suddenly realising it was in colour! My parents had bought a new set & I hadn't even noticed!
First thing I saw in colour? The Beatles performing live. Wonder what ever happened to them?

50 years? really. Wow, where has the time gone? Wasn't it only on BBC2 first as a trial? My old dad won the football pools, brand new Anglia and a colour tv, and I got a motorbike, Bantam D7.

My best mates dad brought one of the first colour TVs. We used to sit around there in the afternoons and watch the colour trade test transmissions on BBC2. The Canadian wilderness in colour we used to sit there mesmerised.
