sedith Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 yep I don`t even think it lasted 2 years . In the 60's I remember my parents having a little brown box underneath the TV with British Relay printed on it had a knob with three positions, but only two of them worked, BBC and ITV. The picture seems to improve from the communal ariel we were previously using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedith Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 lolololol love it eeeeeeee those were the days lolol We were the first people around us that had a colour TV, purely I suppose because my mother was a manager at Wigfalls. The colour was turned up abnormally high and so unrealistic it was practically unwatchable. I remember some of the neighbours coming round to watch in awe, the Black and White Minstrel Show in colour. Happy Days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
