Before the introduction of colour TV in the UK, the invention was previewed on a topical BBC science show, Tomorrows World. At the end of the show to give the impression of what colour TV might look like (remember Im viewing on a black & white TV set) they displayed the closing titles using a noise pattern to give the optical illusion of colour. For years until my parents got a real colour TV I expected to be able to see full colour TV pictures on the old black & white TV.
