For Those Watching In Black And White

Paul Jackson explores how TV reflects cultural changes: 1969, snooker and the arrival of colour in 鈥楶ot Black鈥�. From May 2003.

In 1969, a short innovative programme was broadcast to make the most of the recently launched colour 主播大秀 TV service.

By the time its last final was screened, 鈥楶ot Black鈥� had not only re-energised snooker, it had also changed forever the relationship between TV and sport.

Paul Jackson continues his exploration of the social and cultural context of cult TV programmes that have caught the mood of the nation.

Featuring David Attenborough, Peter Fiddick, Ted Lowe and Stephen Hendry

Director: Paul Kobrak

First broadcast on 主播大秀 Radio 4 in 2003.
