Step inside the Philips plant in Clayton, Victoria, for a rare behind-the-scenes look at how colour television sets were made in Australia. This clip, from Australian Movie Magazine No. 7436, captures the precision and craftsmanship behind manufacturing these cutting-edge TVs as the nation embraced the shift from black and white to colour.

It was a revolution in living rooms and on soundstages alike – a shift as thrilling as it was chaotic.
