Now think back to all those great programmes you used to watch in restful black and white in a cozy armchair, the room in subdued lighting to help improve the picture. Still, it was high-definition television , at least it was when it came out in 1936, and the system served us faithfully until 1985. Programme material recorded on VHS tape gives very satisfactory viewing, too. Other enthusiasts are more interested in just reading about old television programming and technology, while others collect old TV programmes and commercials on film or video tape.
