After a brief introduction from the nice voice-over man at the BBC, I sat down to watch, my coat still on. It didn't take long to become fully engrossed and intrigued by this Thriller? Horror? Sci-fi? show.
However programs of this quality are better watched in all of their Technicolor glory so, waiting for a momentary lull in the drama, I raced downstairs and see if the colour TV was free in the living room.
It wasn't. So I raced back upstairs to continue as was but mentally preparing for the next episode.
The following week I was ready and waiting in the living room, having claimed squatters rights on the best seat on the sofa. The trouble was that there were 6 of us in my family and my siblings were not always respectful of a genre TV show. I don't think it took too many minutes before I was racing back upstairs to watch in peaceful, all be it monochrome, solitude. At least now I knew how red the reds were though!
