Which TV series were produced in colour, but originally broadcast in B&W?
Some examples which come to my mind:
"Trumpton" (1967, UK)
"Camberwick Green" (1966, UK)
"Skippy" (1968-1970, Australia) - Filmed in colour for overseas sales, Australia TV remained B&W until 1975
The 2nd and third seasons of "The Lucy Show" were filmed in colour, but broadcast in B&W. Lucille Ball was smart enough to know that the episodes would make more money in syndication in later years if filmed in colour.
"Adventures of the Seaspray" (1965-1967, Australia) - Another Australian series filmed in colour for overseas sales
What are some other TV series filmed in colour but originally telecast in B&W?

"The Cisco Kid" started production in 1950, being I believe the first to be filmed in color. In the mid-50s I believe "The Lone Ranger" started to be filmed in color. I think "The Adventures of Superman" was filmed in color with the third season in 1955. |

Bonanza 1959 - 1973 was made in colour from the start even if not many had color-TV when the series started.

The Seekers, an Australian pop/folk group, did several colour TV specials in the 1960s, though as mentioned above Australian TV was black-and-white until 1975. Again, filmed in colour for international broadcast.
"The Adventures of Long John Silver" was a 1955 Australian TV series filmed in colour, even though Australian TV wasn't yet in colour. In fact, Australian TV wasn't even in black-and-white yet, as it didn't exist! Yes, that's right, Australia produced a TV series before it even had TV. Why? For international broadcast, that's why.....and as far as I know, these international broadcasts were in B&W.
