I thought they had already stopped broadcasting analogue TV signals

  They have, at least in the great majority of the UK. You can get set top boxes to receive digital transmissions if you don't have a suitable TV. I'm sure these would work with a B&W TV if you wanted. I believe some groups (the elderly?) were offered subsidised set top boxes.

    I was wondering about how it would work actually. I don't think B&W TVs have SCART inputs, so I suppose there are still settop boxes out there that can output a PAL antenna signal?

      I'm pretty sure SCART outputs include composite video - which older BW TVs might accept using a SCART to phone cable.

      My sister's set top box had an antenna output, so I'm sure they're around.

  They have converter boxes. But as other commenters pointed out they may not actually have b&w sets but have merely "forgotten" to upgrade their licenses (at a savings of 100 pounds per year).
