BONUS: Ceefax's Crap Competition


Listen Later

In this FOUR MINUTES of bonus material, cut for time from today's episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discuss the underwhelming Ceefax competition prizes on offer in the 1970s, the impact the BBC's teletext service had on the development of the TV remote control, and how to research cinema listings for the St George’s Centre Harrow in 1995.
