I don't recall them ever showing Laurel and Hardy or Marx Brothers, but they probably do slip the odd one in now and agian.
They probably colourised them make it more "appealing" to "younger" viewers. It fails horribly in my eyes. I could even make it through 10 mins of Alastair Sim's Scrooge movie when I saw that colourised.

I would guess the boxsets of all the Laurel and Hardy movies are dirt cheap to buy now though
