Everything was black and white until mum saved up enough money to join the colour TV revolution.

Favourite Programmes made in black and white were early Norman wisdom films, still watch them now

I remember an old adventure series that I watched as a kid, The Perils Of Nyoka.

I bought it on DVD a few years ago, but got bored with it half way thru

Also agree that Laurel & Hardy and some of the Ealing comedies are timeless

All the old kids programmes like Trumpton, Camberwick Green, Chigley, Pogles Wood and The Clangers. Used to love Lost in Space, that was my favourite programme as a child.

Redditch

Made between 1967 and 69, Trumpton, Chigley and Camberwick Green were originally broadcast in B&W but, owing to a fantastically far-sighted decision by the production company, were produced in colour. That's why they were repeated regularly until well in to the 1980s

Happy days....

Passport to Pimlico is an excellent film. We watched it recently. Other good Ealing comedies include The Lady Killers and Kind Hearts & Coronets.
