I certainly don’t remember this at all – in fact this is the first time I have seen such a TV set with a coin operated addition.

Is this for real ?

I am wondering if this was an idea from the USA although the television is showing ‘Andy Pandy’ so maybe not

I have since discovered that this type of TV set was used by people who rented their sets as we did for many years in the early days of Colour.

To me and to many I suppose, the launch of Colour Television does not seem that long ago – in fact on occasions in conversation with younger people I will say ‘that was the first place that I saw a Colour Television’.

I don’t think that they grasp that there was actually a time that we only had ‘Black and White’
