The all new VP 'Ah Bless' awards for naivety in broadcasting or wherever

[Steve]

Well how's this from the Beeb today for a start

Thousands still watch TV in black and white

"More than 7,000 people still watch TV in black and white more than half a century after colour broadcasts began.
London has the most TV licences for black and white sets at 1,768, followed by 431 in the West Midlands and 390 in Greater Manchester.
A total of 7,161 UK households have failed to start watching in colour despite transmissions starting in 1967."


    Could a more convincing explanation be that a Black and White licence is a third of the price of a Colour licence and not everyone is as honest as the day is long?

[Darwins Selection]

Are they actually transmitting in colour nowadays?

Time for a change perhaps.

My thoughts ezackly! 

Although I thought they phased out the b & w licence years ago....

Probably, watching car crash videos on a Logie Baird Televisor is less than the full experience
