Summer Playhouse 7/8/1967.The Small Rebellion of Jess Calvert
A lost Rediffusion play in colour!!! Filmed using the experimental Electronicam process. Lost for over 50 years, this play was discovered by Kaleidoscope on original colour 2” videotape whilst looking for programmes to show today. One of Kaleidoscope’s greatest finds, because it was never transmitted. It was broadcast in monochrome. This colour version appears to be a condensed version of the play seen on ITV. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/colour-tv-comes-to-town-tickets-75577425113?fbclid=IwAR222jKdSZP3F0Is4KMhqnZmyRuezOlhSjF_efAHVb8WakcKlR8Dkj94G-w Thanks to RWels for posting the link.

However there are a couple of possibilities that might have made it to colour.
AR were experimenting with an Arriflex camera that could electronically record to b/w videotape and record on a 16mm film magazine in colour as well, it was last used on the Rolling Stones circus programme in late 68.
AR used them to film a play called 'The small rebellion of Jess Calvert' where studio scenes were shot in colour and mixed with colour film location scenes in Bavaria..... I think 'The Informer was being recorded around the same time as this play?
Plus the fact that what I believe the remains the BFI have is film negatives of the programme rather than videotape... so there is a possibility of colour..but probably only Chris Perry will be able to enlighten us."
