I remember reading that watching Secam on a PAL receiver results in a black & white picture. Why did this happen?
Not sure if the sound was affected.

The colour signal processing is different but the black and white part of the picture is very similar. The TV does not recognise the colour component so doesn't show it.
In the UK the sound was on 6mHz (intercarrier FM) whereas on the continent it was on 5.5Mhz. Sometimes the set will have enough "stretch" to render it.
