Just read that 200 or so black and white TVs still in Wales can the authorities know if these people are genuine and don't have colour
I remember back in the early 80s working for the post office they sent out detector Van's which where basically fake they just went out with a list of people without a license
Certainly scared my mum and dad when a TV detector van came down our road!
Aren't a lot of them to do with specialist antique dealers and collectors who collect antique working TVs and radios.. Perhaps those companies that supply props to theatres as well.
I had a black and white licence for years and never got bothered once. They surely have way too much work chasing up people without licences to come checking the black and white ones. I don't watch live tv these days so don't need to bother.
Over 20 yrs ago my Dad had a B/w tv on rental!!! from Radio Rentals. it packed up and they didnt have another B/W so they "locked" the colour adjustment somehow. yep detector vans came round and they actually inspected the tv.
I bought them a colour one later.....but he had my nephew turn the colour down so it was B/W

I had moved in to a new place that didnt have a licence and shock horror the TV detector man knocked the door and I answered it as I was going training. He said who he was and thinking on my feet said he couldn't go in as I was a contractor doing some work on the house and was on my way out. I think the place had a licence the next day.

Just say no you cannot enter, no need for any excuses, or even tell them to f*ck off!
