Somewhat unrelated, but interesting nonetheless: for several Doctor Who
episodes from the 1970's that were made in colour, no colour video was
archived. At best, there are black and white telerecordings: basically a
film camera pointed at (and (hopefully in phase) synchronised with) a
black and white monitor.

Now it turns out that the resolution was so good, that the colour signal
is visible in the luminance. And some bright people have worked on
restoring the colour information from that. Unfortunately, the
information I could find about it is a few years old and it seems no
more recent developments happened. See http://www.techmind.org/colrec/ .
