Colour TV never happened.
Many Major sources show BBC 2 to have begun broadcasting in colour during 1967. However this is complete and utter rubbish.
Colour TV was never introduced to BBC2, the health and safety department declared colours to be too dangerous for the human eye. The pro-colour groups of the time fought for a compromise of sepia tones to be shown, however, after several violent incidents involving coloured discs and various pro-colour group member's eyes, black and white ruled supreme.
Instead of colour being introduced in 1967, it was the year a cut-off group from the anti-colour ruled black as a colour, and fought for TV to be completely white. However this stupid idea was rejected quickly.
All proof you need that BBC2 never went colour, is to turn it on, on a sunday afternoon. And get visually destroyed by a 5 billion year old movie.

Please further explicate the danger to the human eye, the possibility of injury and retarding of motor control, and of course, the chances of letting slip a firm hand on the staircase.
