How come the opening titles in colour from later series look exactly the same? I heard there was a lost episode of something like Are You Being Served recorded in black -&-white video and yet all the colour info was somehow encoded on the old video tape and so converting to colour was easy
There was a colour strike at ITV companies which ran from 13 November 1970 to 8 February 1971, this affected a lot of ITV companies programmes that were made during that time, this being one of them.
Why do you cut out the music at the end & also the tune at the beginning of every episode is a bit messed up? CZcams wont take the vids down if thats the reason... anything under “Yorkshire television’ no longer have copyright infringement, due to the Copyright being out of date
@@scorpioguy3234 The copyright gets renewed when it gets released and it was taken over by ITVplc when Yorkshire TV was taken over. The music is messed up on the DVD release and was probably like that on original broadcast. After all, the film of the opening titles looks like it was dragged through a hoover bag before being played, why do you think they gave a shit about the sound quality?
yes!!! thanks for posting,funny as on the buses!
I've posted Series 2 today, 3 coming soon.
Brilliant

Thanks for these K ow. I've really enjoyed them. Can you tell me where I can watch Series 2 and 3 please? Nik :-)
Thanks k ow.
These were originally broadcast in 1971. When did YTV begin colour broadcasting? Was it ~ January, '72?
This episode was aired 10th December 1970, it is in Black and White due to the ITV Colour Strike. ITV started colour transmissions in 1969.
