It might not have been that uncommon in 1990 to have a second, black-and-white TV in the house. Maybe that's what happened here. Either that or some fault has caused it.
@80sandretrogubbins25 B&W portables were indeed still sold new at the time. Doesn't have anything to do with why the recording wasn't in colour though. The quality is too good for it to be down to loss of colour carrier in the signal - just trying to work out what happened!
What on earth was this recorded on to be in black & white?
