[QUOTE="J. R.'s Piece, post: 105506, member: 12"] Was it sort of 1966, when they went colour? Because Bewitched was on the air from Autumn 1964 and I Dream of Jeannie from autumn 1965. In the UK, in 1965 both 30 episodes of The Baron I might mind if it was ITC's The Saint (71 monochrome and 47 colour, four of these colour ones were two-parters and released theatrically and then not shown in their episodic format on tv again!) or ABC's The Avengers (104 monochrome and 57 colour). ITC's Danger Man (shot from 1959-60, 1964-66) had 84 episodes filmed in monochrome but the last two episodes (both written by Norman Hudis, who wrote for Carry On Films, Gideon's Way and The Man From UNCLE) were in colour and released theatrically. Strangely with the Danger Man colour episodes, while the feature version has some edits to the tv version, it also has additionally shot bridging sequences, including one that turns Burt Kwouk's friendly character from the first colour episode into a murderous villain and cult member in a matter of seconds. Whereas in the tv version, he drives Drake to the airport and waves him off. But in the feature version (Koroshi), he tries to kill Drake and so the airport scene never happens. Although ITC had experimented with colour as far back as the late 1950s, where the Americans welcomed William Russell as Sir Lancelot, so the second batch of episodes was shot in colour. ITC also shot the pilot episode of Man of the World (starring Craig Stevens, who had previously starred in Peter Gunn) in 1962 with heavy location work in Spain but the rest of the series and it's spin-off series (The Sentimental Agent, featuring Burt Kwouk...Burt throws his boss across the room in one episode...the show got him a long-running film gig with Peter Sellers) in monochrome. ITC's Stingray was in colour by 1964 and it's b/w predecessor Fireball XL5 was networked in the USA. ITC's The Forest Rangers was in colour by about 1963. The Baron (shot from July 1965-October 1966), the colour episodes of The Avengers (shot from autumn 1966-March 3rd 1969) and the 47 colour episodes of The Saint (1 in November 1965, then from February 1966 into late summer 1968) were all ordered specifically by US networks [/QUOTE]
