Colour television on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One 15 November 1969

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One launched a full colour service on 15 November 1969. At midnight the incongruously named An Evening with Petula - Petula Clark in concert from the Royal Albert Hall - was the first transmission. The channel then closed down until 10am. Programmes showing in colour on the 15th included Star Trek and Dixon of Dock Green, The Harry Secombe Show and Match of the Day, plus the feature film The Prisoner of Zenda.
