The past took place in colour

I am writing this (thanks to the extra power points I had installed on election day) while watching Victory in Europe in Colour on ITV.

It is worth asking how much our view of the 1940s and 1950s as dull, colourless decades owes to the fact that we generally see them only in black and white.
