I believe the first few episodes were recorded during the famous ITV tchnicians strike of late 1970, when everything was made in B/W for about 6 weeks. Had a knock on effect on transmissions through 1971. It also affected a lot of other programmes like Upstairs Downstairs, On the Buses, Doctor at Large etc., |

Its down as b/w 625 in Kal 94.
2 is colour, 3&4 are 635 again, 7 is 625.
5 & 6 were missing when the guide was published but have been recovered from Australia in 625 (posting and screengrabs from 10/12/02).
The rest are PAL colour.

The episodes thought lost when Kaleidoscope first produced their guides were actually in the THAMES "vault" all the time - just not flashed up as available on the listings of the time.
No "recovery" from Australia was needed.
