The programme's transition to colour had begun a few weeks earlier, with Episode 923 on 29th October. This episode - shot almost entirely on location at the Lake District and containing the climactic coach crash - was made in black and white but according to some sources, this occurred because the correct film stock couldn't be located, and executive producer H.V. Kershaw intended it to be made in colour. Whatever the case, Episode 924, set mostly in hospital after the crash, was the first episode made with colour cameras. However, only the studio recording was in colour; two film inserts were in monochrome, as was the title sequence. The next three episodes were made in the same way and were transmitted by the IBA in colour as test transmissions. By Episode 928, the entire programme was b

| - The programme's transition to colour had begun a few weeks earlier, with Episode 923 on 29th October. This episode - shot almost entirely on location at the Lake District and containing the climactic coach crash - was made in black and white but according to some sources, this occurred because the correct film stock couldn't be located, and executive producer H.V. Kershaw intended it to be made in colour. Whatever the case, Episode 924, set mostly in hospital after the crash, was the first episode made with colour cameras. However, only the studio recording was in colour; two film inserts were in monochrome, as was the title sequence. The next three episodes were made in the same way and were transmitted by the IBA in colour as test transmissions. By Episode 928, the entire programme was being made and shown on the aforementioned four channels in colour, and the new title sequence debuted a week later in Episode 930. In anticipation of the changeover, several of the interior sets which had looked better in black and white were redecorated, notably the Rovers Return and No.11's living room, and the outdoor Grape Street set was rebuilt in brick. The rebuilding took place in November and December, reappearing in Episode 944 the following January. Although able to weather the elements better than its wooden predecessor, the set was still only a frontage and contained no back yards or ginnel.
