Hark back to the TV Presentation of the 70s to the 90s. With wobbly film, In Vision announcers, long forgotten programmes, adverts and retro graphics

I’m unsure why Presto supermarkets no longer exist. I suspect it may have something to do with the sinister tag line and the anthropomorphic penis used in their ads.

Coincidentally, I saw Anthropomorphic Penis play Glasto in ‘93.

It was 62 years ago #OnThisDay in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Here's a piece I wrote for the History of the BBC website a couple of years ago about how the BBC covered the news.

I'm quite pleased with this one...
