Re: Colour TV
The reason I've not answered this thread before is I'm a 74 baby and I'm sure I was born into a world of colour tv. From what i can find out the first colour broadcasts ran between 1967-1969 here in the U.K.
Edit Just spoke to mum she believes she would have had her first colour tv somewhere around 72/73.

Re: Colour TV
Really? That is amazing, I thought Australia was behind the rest of the world with colour TV...however, we make up for it by being early adopters of new technology.....We didn`t get a colour tv until about 82 and remember everyone sitting around it to watch it only to find they was showing a black and white film on tv and felt ripped off
. Still, that figures you got to see a black + white film first!
I was 5 years old in 1976 and remember being really impressed when my dad got to watch a total eclipse of the sun, on a colour TV at someone's house, while we watched it on an old black and white set. It was only years later I realised that what difference would it have made....like exactly how much colour is there in a broadcast of an eclipse anyway?

Colour TV
In Australia, colour TV began broadcasting in 1975 (yeah, way later than the rest of the planet…, even NZ had colour TV from 1973).
It was such a HUGE thing, I remember all of the family gathering at my grandparents house when they bought their first colour TV sometime late in ‘76 - a large Kriesler model complete with wood finish and corded remote control. Us kids thought it was the height of sophistication to change channels with the remote.
The first shows I really remember being so excited about seeing in colour were cartoons – The Flintstone’s, Jetson’s, Bugs Bunny and the Wonderful World of Disney on a Sunday night.
Does anyone else remember how amazing seeing colour TV was for the first time?
