Behind the scenes UK experimental colour transmission 1957

I think that you need to remember that 25 frames...50 fields is actually fine ...and flicker is, certainly for most people, hardly ...if at all .. noticeable.

Afterall movie film is 24fps!

I think the key really is the 405 line seemed amazing in 1936 but by 1956 was clearly below the preferred standard.

Everyone in the industry knew colour was coming ...sooner or later.... but reality was the cost in 1955 was exorbitant both for the broadcasters and consumers.... by 1966 the situation was completely different... and the UK began colour broadcasting in 625/50/PAL in 1967/68.
