The 1983 VR feature 'Overdrawn at the Memory Bank' (John Varley adapted by Corinne Jacker) is atmospheric and even moving. Clever technically, but the video look doesn't withstand some odd comedic bits. I turned the sleeve art into a little photo gallery + menus when I did a DVD of the laserdisc.

The Harvest of Kairos was a lot better written than I remember. I'd forgotten this was the Jarvik episode. Before today though, my only memory of it was the pantomime spider. Which is still very, very bad. There was even a night that they skipped... and NO monster works in morning sun in long shot!

It shouldn't surprise me that some of #teletext 's biggest fans were touring bands, who passed the daylight hours on the hotel TV remote. For #teletext50 they told their stories to the Byte High No Limit podcast: sunspotstories.podbean.com/e/teletext-50-the-history-of-the-first-50-years

Back at #teletext50 I spoke with #teletext legends Mort Smith and Ian irving about the Ceefax office in TV Centre – there were tantalising glimpses of it in the documentary 'This is Ceefax.' Here's a 'sunset at Ceefax' with some details from the gents.

Having just reminisced about my recently-departed friend who once paid a social call to Jon's house, I was just wondering how his family have been keeping.... 😥
RIP Ingeborg Pertwee … perhaps this is the year I’ll get round to reading her novel

This time last year Polanski was barely known outside the party. Now he’s hoping for success at May’s local elections – by taking a page from Nigel Farage’s playbook

The Delgado Master's Nehru collar is a timeless classic, but I'm not angry with this art. The Fortune Cookie Collar is a mystery in plain sight: what does it symbolise? And how, exactly did it come into being? I feel a thread coming on, entitled: 'When Clothes Regenerate.'
"THE MASTER - FOR USE WITH THE DOCTOR WHO ROLE PLAYING GAME" (1985).
