We forget how tightly regulated and controlled broadcasting hours on a Sunday were back in 1964. Hard work for ITV companies to make sure they have accounted for every minute on air, and try and use the exempted programming genres to expand their day and get a little bit more ad revenue. Hard work.

I discovered that the Canadian series The Littlest Hobo (1963) was originally filmed in colour, when I purchased a 2 DVD Region 1 set from Amazon.

In reply to Pete Singleton.

Thanks Pete! I’m always trying to emphasise that ABC were of more cultural substance than a certain other pre 1968 weekend franchise!!! ????

I’m suddenly 13 years old again… thank you both for another great insight into ‘the year that changed everything’.

And I’ve learnt something… I never knew that ABC had a remote cubby hole atop the Forum in Lime Street!
