I can't verify the date of color's bow in the UK without a search (though I think you're correct), but I hasten to point out that 405 line b&w wasn't discontinued until many years later. New years day 1985 was when the old standard finally went dark IIRC. Of course anybody who knows better can correct me. Trivia: the 1972 pilot of Are You Being Served only exists today as a transfer from a black & white 405 line tape.
