How do I stop my new (Christmas) XBox kinect being in black and white on my tv?

We have a 6 year old, fairly standard Bush telly.
The connections in the back are AV, S video, scart lead and aerial but we don't have HDMI input.

Dance Central works OK, but Kinect adventures and another sports game specify they need PAL 60 not PAL50 which I think is our standard tv setting.

When we reset the tv to PAL 60, the sports game works, but in a grainy B+W image which I fear is not what excited DCs want on Christmas morning.

We are using the standard leads that came with the xbox set/bundle.

Short of buying a new telly, what, if anything can we do? is there a different lead we need, and if so, could someone link to it please?

Thanks so much...

I think that that unfortunately means that the TV doesn't really support PAL 60 so I don't think that there's much that you can do...

I think so, apparently if you've got a very old TV with the adjustable sync settings you might be able to get it working but other than that I think you're out of luck.

If you have 2 scart connections on the back of the telly try changing it over or try using the red white yellow connectors?
