I remember watching this many times in my teens. In black and white! It was shown on BBC2 as one of the "Trade test" films. These were shown during the day out of normal broadcasting hours so that retailers had something in colour to show to customers apart from the test card. The UK colour service started in 1967, first in Europe but a long time after the US.
It may seem quaint in these days of 24 hour broadcasting that in the UK, daytime broadcasting is a fairly recent innovation.
Even with the relatively limited automation shown in that film, it's an excellent demonstration of why colour CRTs have to be made in large volumes if they're going to made at any reasonable price.
