1973 when there was colour TV, but virtually no-one had them! We didn't get one until the late 1970s. Same here. In fact, it may have been the early 80s before we were gifted a colour tv Pot black with Ray Reardon in the 70s ... you can still tell the red on b n w tellies I do remember my first TV when belonged to me, rather than my mum added, was a B&W portable. It was no good for my computer (Acorn Electron), though, that needed to be colour. So I got given an older second hand colour TV, and my B&W portable went downstairs in the dining room and I used to watch the snooker on it. Yep, snooker on a B&W TV  Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Yep, snooker on a B&W TV I could tell most of the colours apart, expect the brown looked like another red and that got confusing sometimes! Vote Og.

So this is all a load of propaganda about how policing and forensic methods have improved since the '70's?

Ah yes, it reminds viewers of the casual sexism of the 1970s. Maybe that's one reason for the warning for modern 2020 viewers!

I thought they were all pretty good, actually. Nice casting. Excellent locations/set dressing etc. Ok, you've twisted my arm: I'll watch another.

Yes. Even though I have watched this about dozen times, it still astounds me with its brilliance.

Yes. Even though I have watched this about dozen times, it still astounds me with its brilliance. I think it's only my 2nd or 3rd time watching this. On the other hand, I'm currently watching Buffy, where I've seen all the episodes a few times over, and probably hitting well over double figures for the first few seasons. It's okay, it has too much of it for it to suggest it for a rewatch
