Colourising Monochrome Film

I have heard that all the information for matching the original colours is often already stored in monochrome film. Thus allowing authentic colourisation. Is this true and how does it work? Thanks....

Animals With Only One Example

In my local museum there are trays of flies and beetles. In some cases only one example is recorded. Is there a word to describe an animal, for which there is only one known example?

Why has the picture on my tv dropped and can it be rectified?

The picture on my tv has suddenly dropped by about 4 inches and now I can't see subtitles or ticker tape etc at the bottom. Can anything be done?
