Newspaper advertisement for colour TV

1975

    When colour television arrived, newspapers helped Aussies adjust to the colour era. Articles explained the technology and reassured hesitant buyers. This clipping shows a still from comedy series The Last of the Australians, created by Crawford Productions to kick off the 1975 season, with Jacki Weaver a standout guest star in bright yellow and red. Print media kept the message front and centre: black-and-white was fading fast, and colour was the way forward.
