A colour TV was meant to make everything look better – even a sad clown. In this TV Week ad from 1975, two mesmerised children watched a PYE television while a forlorn clown stared out from the screen. The image was strange, but effective. It exaggerated the gap between black-and-white and full colour, making the decision to upgrade feel inevitable.
