When the service was first introduced I remember seeing signs hung in the windows of pubs announcing (in coloured lettering) 'Coloured TV inside'. :-?
Monday night was great - the High Chaparral (in living colour) at 2000hrs or 2010 - can't remember which, and six bags of prawn cocktail flavour crisps. ;D ;D ;D
Life was good.

I remember having to go next door to see the High Chapperal as we didn't have BBC2 on our Reddifusion TV. My friends parents then had a colour TV and i used to go there to watch Star Trek.
happy days.

I once had the pleasure of seeing Joe Davis live in an exhibition match against Rex Williams.
Joe was well in his sixties, he made a 508 break at billiards, and 3 century breaks in a best of 5 at snooker, this was on an ordinary working mens club table with the old heavy snooker balls, not a specially honed match table that they play on today with the new lightweight balls.
