I have got disc one of the Daily Mail giveaways.

Episode one of Upstairs Downstairs comes out in colour, but episode two is black and white.
Any idea why?

That's the way in which they were made?

But why would they have done that? Was episode one a pilot perhaps?
Question Author
Stand down people, I have found the answer in Wiki

Due to an industrial dispute over extra payments for using newly-introduced colour equipment in which broadcasting unions refused to allow their members to use colour cameras, the first six episodes of the first series were shot in black-and-white, and when colour production resumed, the first episode was remade in colour. Two endings were made, which could be shown depending on whether or not the black and white episodes were broadcast by the channel. The original black-and-white first episode is believed to have been wiped.
Just colour them all in yourself .. It's fun! ; )
