Είναι η μέρα που τα τανκς βγήκαν στους δρόμους και η Δημοκρατία μπήκε στον... γύψο. Σε αντίθεση με τη σημερινή εποχή που η τηλεόραση είναι το πρώτο μέσο που θέλουν οι επαναστάτες και... επαναστάτες το 1967 αρκούσε απλά η κατάληψη του κτιρίου του ΟΤΕ όχι για τον σταθμό τηλεοράσεως που υπήρχε εκεί, αλλά για τις τηλεπικοινωνίες.
Τόσο το ΕΙΡ, όσο και η ΥΕΝΕΔ δεν λειτούργησαν την 21η Απριλίου ούτε την επόμενη μέρα. Οι πραξικοπηματίες προτίμησαν να χρησιμοποιήσουν το ραδιόφωνο για να κάνουν γνωστά τα σχεδιά τους.

Ηρωϊκά χρόνια
Την περίοδο 1960-61 το ABC παρουσίασε ένα φιλόδοξο, για τα μέτρα της εποχής εκείνης ντοκυμανταίρ. Βασισμένο στα απομνημονεύματα του Ουίστον Τσόρτσιλ, παρουσίαζε ουσιαστικά την ιστορία του Β’ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου ο οποίος είχε λήξει πριν 15 μόλις χρόνια.
Ο σκηνοθέτης Γκάρι Μέρβιλ επέλεξε τον Ρίτσαρντ Μπάρντον ως αφηγητή, ενώ ο Ρίτσαρντ Ρότζερς έγραψε τη μουσική.
Γυρίστηκαν 26 ημίωρα επεισόδια που έκαναν τον κύκλο τους στην αμερικάνικη τηλεόραση, προβλήθηκαν σχεδόν ταυτόχρονα και στο BBC.
Στις 29 Μαρτίου 1967 ήρθε η ώρα να αρχίσει και η προβολή τους στην Ελλάδα. Σε σχέση με άλλα ντοκυμανταίρ η εξάχρονη καθυστέρηση ήταν ελάχιστη.
Η σειρά προβλήθηκε από το ΕΙΡ κάθε Τετάρτη.
Τα επεισόδια της σειράς κυκλοφόρησαν πριν λίγα χρόνια και σε DVD

Τρίτη 28 Μαρτίου 1967
Για πρώτη φορά η ελληνική τηλεόραση έδειξε ρεπορτάζ γυρισμένο στο εξωτερικό. Ο πρεσβευτής της Ελλάδας στην Ουάσιγκτων Αλ.Μάτσας μίλησε στον ανταποκριτή της κρατικής τηλεόρασης Σπύρο Γρανίτσα στο περιθώριο των εκδηλώσεων για την 25η Μαρτίου στη Νέα Υόρκη.
Οι φάκελοι της Σκότλαντ Γιαρντ
Οι φάκελοι της «Σκότλαντ Γιαρντ» ήταν ένα από τα πρώτα τηλεοπτικά προγράμματα του BBC. Η Αγγλική τηλεόραση δεν κατάφερε να παράγει ένα ημίωρο επεισόδιο την εβδομάδα όπως έκαναν οι αμερικανοί. 
Έτσι ενώ η σειρά κράτησε οκτώ συνολικά χρόνια γυρίστηκαν μόλις 39 επεισόδια.
Ο Εντγκαρ Λούστγκάρτεν ήταν ο αφηγητής της ιστορίας, καλή ώρα όπως έκανε πολλά χρόνια αργότερα ο Γρηγόρης Βαλτινός στις «αστυνομικές ιστορίες» του ΑΝΤ-1.
Αναλυτικά οι 39 ιστορίες.

A pilot's wife and lover plant a bomb in the husband's plane.
Synopsis 2:
A light aeroplane comes down over Kent and crashes killing the pilot.
It is found that the pilot was murdered, and Scotland Yard become
involved. It appears that a man, who is infact the killer, went to
an old lady's house, and was treated by a local nurse for his injuries.
The pilot was the husband of an actress, the actress was having an
affair with her co-star. When the killer ejected from the plane he
sustained injuries to his leg which is in plaster. This is a giveaway
to Inspector Hammond who arrests them both for murder as they plan
their getaway.

Παρασκευή 17 Μαρτίου 1967
Ο Φρέντυ Γερμανός παρουσίαζε σχεδόν από το ξεκίνημα των 
πειραματικών εκπομπών της τηλεόρασης δελτία ειδήσεων μαζί με τον Βασίλη Παπαθανασόπουλο που ήταν ο πρώτος Έλληνας παρουσιαστής ειδήσεων και αργότερα τον πολιτικό συντάκτη της εφημερίδας "Ελευθερία" Μιχάλη Στυλιανού που έκανε τα δελτία της Παρασκευής. Στις 17 Μαρτίου παρουσιάζει την πρώτη εκπομπή η οποία βέβαια ήταν πολύ μακριά από τα δεδομένα των προγραμμάτων που τον έκαναν διάσημο άργότερα. Ο Δημήτρης Νιάνιας ήταν ένας συντηριτικός πολιτικός, μετά τη δικτακτορία έγινε και υπουργός πολιτισμού και τότε, λίγες μέρες πριν το πραξικόπημα μιλούσε ως υφυπουργός Προεδρίας στην κυβέρνηση Κανελλόπουλου για το Δόγμα Τρούμαν.
