<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">Indeed Scott. TFS is probably the only B&W videotaped series to survive on their original 2" format. Most programmes, if lucky to have survived at all only exist on 16mm telerecordings' (Kinescopes
I understand being the American term), at variable quality for overseas sale.<br>
<br>
Indeed, many programmes made in colour only survive as B&W film recordings as well. The situation was similar with the ITV company ATV Network who distributed their programmes under the ITC banner. One of my childhood favourites, "Timeslip" from 1970-71 I well
remember watching in colour, except for five made in B&W through the colour strike that also affected 8 AFAW episodes. Sad to think only variable quality B&W film copies survive (except Episode 12), but under the circumstances we should be grateful it's survived
at all.<br>
<br>
Anyway, back on topic. TFS could have indeed been made in colour as the 625- line network BBC 2 commenced colour transmissions in 1967, very soon after broadcast. I understand it was repeated on the main BBC 1 a year later which continued exclusive 405-line
VHF broadcasts along with ITV until November 1969 when duplication to 625-line UHF colour started in a few areas.<br>
<br>
The BBC recorded everything in 625-line mode from mid 1967 whether shown on BBC 1 405 or BBC 2 625 via a complex standards converter. In 1968 the BBC produced a version for the color 525-line NTSC standard.<br>
Remarkable technology at that time.<br>
<br>
I must admit I've never seen The Forsythe Saga. From recommendations I must rectify that in the near future!<br>

<div>Remarkable to realize The Forsyte Saga was in black and white; many people have such colorful memories of it! I read somewhere it could have been made in color, but management decided otherwise!<br>
