A Bush television from 1967 - still black-and-white, but able to handle higher resolution 625-line UHF transmissions, as well as the 405-line ones standard in Britain since 1936. BBC2 launched in 1964 as a UHF-only service, starting to add colour three years later; 405-line transmissions finally ceased in 1985
