The first TV I ever watched was the Queens Coronation. My uncle had built a television using a bomber radar screen which was about 9 inches across, in a huge box. The whole picture was in bright shades of green which we didn't find strange at the time. There were about 15 of us crowded round this tiny screen.
It was several years before my folks got a proper TV.
