Guess you are talking about the length of the video no the music.

Allan's got the moves! 😂 Great quality version of this clip. 😊 Also, out of curiousity, why is the announcer at the beginning in and black and white but the channel ident and programme are in colour? |

Allan's got the moves in this clip! 😊 Also, out of curiousity, why is the announcer at the beginning in and black and white but the logo and programme are in colour? I'm guessing that not everything switched over to colour at once. So, some programmes and links were colour/some black & white. The UK didn't switch over to colour in a big way until the autumn of 1969, and, although I was just 6 or 7 at the time, I clearly recall seeing an Uncle's colour TV where just the very occasional movie or TV programme (usually American) was actually in colour, with the majority of links, adverts and soap operas in black & white. Dirtyfaz, to help alleviate your obvious disappointment, I've also posted some great new-to-youtube Tremeloes footage. Enjoy!  |

No disappointment here. Was just curious because of the description "longer version" & the music track was without the end coda. That was all. I rarely watch videos of the Hollies or any other band on video. Just not an interest of mine. I spend too much time listening to all kinds of music to have a lot of time sitting down and watching.

The UK didn't switch over to colour in a big way until the autumn of 1969, and, although I was just 6 or 7 at the time, I clearly recall seeing an Uncle's colour TV where just the very occasional movie or TV programme (usually American) was actually in colour, with the majority of links, adverts and soap operas in black & white. The switchover to colour was done in a very piecemeal manner. German TV wise, we have random bits from 1967 to 1969 before colour became dominant in 1970. In the UK it was much more drawn out with just BBC2 broadcasting in colour starting in July 1967 before BBC1 and ITV switched in November 1969. However, the hype around the switch to colour was a bit misleading as various shows remained broadcasting in black and white, notably "Z Cars" and "Blue Peter" which both finally switched to colour in September 1970. There were some curiosities as well such as "Coronation Street" - the first colour episode dates from November 3rd 1969 predating the switchover by 2 weeks and that features the old b+w titles followed by a film sequence also in b+w before dissolving to colour VT... then it has various film inserts all in b+w so it switches back and forth! The colour sequences look a bit oversaturated and underlit, a curse I've noticed in some early UK colour VT based shows as they were still determining how the lighting worked for the colour format. Colour TV cameras were definitely being used during the last year of black and white... "Doctor Who" freaks get upset about the fact the final b+w story "The War Games" was shot using colour cameras but didn't record the signals in colour whereas the third series of "Dad's Army" had some episodes recorded in early to mid 1969 in colour which were originally broadcast in black and white during the last weeks of b+w transmissions. So, it was all a bit of a haphazard mess not least the fact that some areas of the UK remained in b+w until 1972! The one thing that always annoys me is The Beatles grumbling about "Magical Mystery Tour" being broadcast in b+w and blaming that for it's frosty reception... it did get shown in colour on BBC2 a month later but The Beatles were ignorant and oblivious to the fact that in 1967 only around 1000 UK homes had a colour TV anyway... and I believe they cost around £300 which in today's money tallies at £3000! Colour TV's would remain expensive well into the 1980's and most people ended up hiring their colour TV sets as opposed to buying and owning one. There's definitely a good book to be written about all that though suspect it has been written and I don't know about it. |

I seem to remember that the German single version of Dear Eloise was released without the end coda. I used to have the German version of "Butterfly", but I can't remember if they also cut that coda off of the album track. "Try It" was twice as long... |

For some reason it seem like only Germany fiddled with the end coda for Dear Eloise. Instead of sort of being continuous that does turn up there that coda is tagged onto the end of the track with various lengths of silence on different issues before starting up again.
