Shows That Aired In Both Black & White And Color

Although it said "BBC Colour" in the credits, the pilot episode of Are You Being Served was shown in black & white, at least on WKNO PBS 10 in Memphis.

I think in this case, the show was originally seen on one of the BBC channels in color, but existed today in a form of a B&W kinnie.

I guess it was similar to the later What's My Line reruns on GSN that were in color when they were broadcast live, but the only surviving copies are in B&W.
 
Since we've opened this up to Brit shows, 2 shows that were the basis for long-running American shows were on in both BW and color..."Steptoe And Son" ("Sanford And Son"), and "Til Death Us Do Part" ("All In The Family").
 
Just to mention another original UK series that was a monster here- "Three's Company"- believe it was something like "Man About the House" or something to that effect...
