Well if we are going for it.
First TV programme I saw was from behind my neighbour's sofa, the room was full of people because they were the first ones in the cul de sac to get a set. It was the Matthews final where Blackpool beat Bolton 4-3.
Think my dad was inspired by this because he ordered a set, a Pye Console 17" , and we got it in time to see the coronation. I remember he took me to the shop when he ordered the TV and paid 100 guineas which would have been about six weeks' wages. Magic times.
