A few days ago I came across a great clip that supposedly marked the moment Norway announced its switch to colour TV in 1972.
The scene, deliberately crafted for the reveal, has a man unsuccessfully attempting to cut a large ribbon. In the end, two men end up pulling the ribbon tug-of-war style until it breaks. And when it does, the screen flips to colour and the panels on the back wall that previously looked like all different shades of grey can now be seen as a wild array of colours.
I tried to do a little more research on the background behind this moment, but there seems to be scant information available online. Regardless, there’s no interesting insight or reflection today, just a unique and fun clip for you to check out!
