Thanks Simon
Lucky they did not end the series with a Seven. The colour TV mask system seems impossible; a masterful device. In the 60s I worked on the beautifully made machine for the cable pictures for the newspapers (whenever by radio the picture was all characteristically streaky). A small school group from a very remote country school few NZers would identify came thru. One little girl was intrigued that she could talk directly to the operator in London. She said "I come from Kimbolton. Do you know where that is?!"
Logie Baird near electocuted himself from a huge stack of torch batteries wired in series. As with many inventors much of his work was aimed at reaping patent rewards form the products of others.
Curious to be reminded that I was not the only person who dressed like that.
