The pictures are fun, aren't they?
Looking at them, and remembering what I saw on that huge B&W console TV in 1969, is fun.
What's not so fun, is then realizing that it's almost 50 years since that day--and we've not been back...that's truly sad.

I sometimes wonder if we have been back, maybe even multiple times, but it's a secret for the in-crowd.

Anything is possible, I suppose...
But how the heck do you hide it? Where? The signature of the launching of the rocket necessary to reach the moon, is, to say the least, impressive, not to mention visible for hundreds, if not thousands of miles.
The communications necessary--so tight that radio receivers all over the globe haven't caught any of it? Or amateur astronomers/photographers all over the world haven't caught on to regular passage between the earth and the moon?
The launch facilities themselves will cover vast acreage.
It's easy to postulate hidden space programs, less easy to actually hide it.

They did indeed have colour TV in the CSM. They had a different camera on the surface - one that was developed for low light conditions

For the TV cameras at the time, yes.
Ever seen a TV crew doing a broadcast in daylight on Earth and still using lights?

You can't film an entire Earth view from Low Earth Orbit.
