<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">Hi Scott and Richard,<br>
<br>
Can't speak for AFAW but it's been reported the colour strike period jeopardised some sales abroad, notably to the USA. As I understand it London Weekend were forced to re-record the first episode of, "Upstairs Downstairs" in colour after the strike had ended
with a new ending to fill in the gaps as such sales avoided having to include any B&W produced episodes. The original B&W episode 1 was reportedly destroyed but I believe the others have survived.<br>
<br>
Many ITV companies wiped their programmes from the colour strike period, notably ATV. As an odd irony most of ATV's early '70s programmes exist only as B&W export film telerecordings under the ITC umbrella if lucky to have survived at all, whether originally
made in colour or not. "Timeslip" is a good example. Note that John Altkin played Frank (Skinner) in the first story of that set in wartime! No doubt a coincidence he appeared as Frank in, "A Family At War" or vice versa!<br>
<br>
Whether the episodes of AFAW were made in colour or not doesn't affect my enjoyment in any way.<br>
<br>
Great stills of the late great Ian Stirling. I still have visions of him appearing with Gus Honeybun, the Westward/TSW birthday puppet rabbit!<br>

<div>Many people thought the earlier Forsyte Saga had been in color (given the intensity of the series and the emotions provoked). I absolutely thought that AFAW episode was in color (given its desert setting). To paraphrase The Bard, there is no color but
thinking makes it so....<br>

<p class="yiv0416202324MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Fascinating to see Ian Stirling in this episode. He's perhaps better known, at least in SW England as a popular in vision continuity announcer for Westward TV and TSW. There's several You Tube
clips of him in that role.<br>
<br>
Didn't know he was an actor. Think he passed away in the mid 2000s.<br>
