In the month of June 1991 many games were released for the Commodore 64. In episode one-hundred-and-eighty-two of Zapped to the Past, we continue our look at some of those games, including the gregarious Gauntlet 3, the likable Lupo Alberto and the crappy Cricket Captain and wonder … Did anyone actually watch cricket highlights via Ceefax?

Happy Super Bowl weekend to those who celebrate (which is a LOT of you). Super Bowl LIX is expected to be watched by almost 200m humans (plus a visiting space warrior and Elon Musk). What makes it so popular? Is there anything to learn from its impressive marketing? Politics isn't afraid to borrow a bit of popular culture from time to time... so can we expect to see Kendrick Lamar rapping about democracy at next year's Labour Party Conference... or let's be realistic... Lemar. (American listeners feel free to Google 'Lemar' or 'democracy')Sharing everything he knows about the Super Bowl is legendary American journalist Iron Mike Carlson. He shares why the Super Bowl became the top day in the US sporting calendar, what the players really think about the Half Time Show and pitches a new adults-only version of Ceefax. And THAT'S why this is the greatest podcast on your planet. Go Eagles / Go Chiefs (note to producer - delete one of these on Monday) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#543 House of Losers - Richard has had a worrying dream, but what can it all mean? His guest is an alien from outer space and not a man in an impressive but ridiculous costume, the artist formerly known as Lord Buckethead, Count Binface. They discuss his reasons for travelling light years to take on sitting Prime Ministers in UK elections, some of his excellent policies involving hand dryers and Ceefax, whether snooker is already in 3 dimensions, losing a bind, whether old people should lose the vote, improving the House of Lords and how the UK's future span out of control due to the Olympic opening ceremony and a bacon sandwich.

Our guest is Professor Chandrika Kaul, a specialist on modern British and Imperial history at the University of St Andrews in the UK.We start by hearing from both sides of Australia's 1999 referendum on becoming a republic. Then, a survivor recounts the horrific 1972 Andes plane crash and the extraordinary things he had to do to survive. We hear how the BBC put text on our television screens for the first time. Plus, a grieving mother recounts the Taliban's horrific 2014 attack on a military school in Pakistan.

In 1974, the BBC launched the world's first teletext service.It provided information, like news and weather, through our TV screens, whenever users wanted, at the push of a button.Rachel Naylor speaks to Angus McIntyre, son of the late Colin McIntyre, Ceefax's first editor. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Colin McIntyre, pictured with a television set showing Ceefax, in 1978.

Here are interviews from BBC Essex and BBC Radio Scotland. Find me on bluesky @bytehigh.bsky.social   

Richard Bacon has spent most of the past decade living in the USA dreaming up TV formats like Jimmy Carr's 'I Literally Just Told You...' so it's a real thrill that he's our first guest of in this week of American Election specials. By the way - he's not just on because he once lived in the US - he's also been on an intimate* walk in the woods with President Barack Obama. Away from politics Richard also chats about AI, kids' TV, social media, and gives some feedback on some pun-heavy TV show ideas. Plus listen out for a very special announcement about the campaign to bring back CEEFAX. Finally Count Binface does what the Washington Post won't do - endorses a candidate for the Presidency. Listen to the full episode to find out who**It turns out it wasn't as intimate as we thought... **It's Kamala. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Ceefax celebrated its Golden Anniversary (if you don't count the fact that it got binned a dozen or so years ago).

In the meantime - why not send a link for the pod to a friend, especially if you're friends with Sir Kier Starmer. Tell him it's free - that should get him interested. To Binfinity... and beyond.

By her own admission, Miranda Sawyer doesn't remember much about the 90s, but thankfully for us it was her job to write stuff down - so she's written a wonderful book called Uncommon People: Britpop and Beyond in 20 Songs about the decade which is suddenly back in vogue, and indeed back in Vogue. On this episode Miranda tells us all about the gatekeepers who changed 90s culture, why music is better than film and which Blue song is a bit sh*t. Watch out for a SECOND episode of Trash Talk this week as we celebrate 50 years of Ceefax, the most un-hackable, un-trollable, and un-Muskable of all the digital platforms. Happy Birthday Ceefax.

Better late than never, we're here with all the news and views from a busy Bank Holiday weekend and a look ahead to some huge FA Cup ties this weekend. Among those looking to progress and manager Nicky Southall discusses their excellent start to the season, the cup visit of Binfield, derby delight and a hope to increase crowds by tapping into his former fans. Corinthian are also eyeing a spot in the second qualifying round and their boss Michael Golding discusses their dress rehearsal with weekend opponents Punjab United, his latest squad rebuild and more penalty woe in the Vase. There's a new man in the dugout at Sutton Athletic - Pete Nolan tells us why it was the right club for him, his hopes for the season ahead and the challenges of managing a side without even having a training session. There's all the rest of the action from across the bank holiday weekend and all of the usual chat and nonsense, including Oasis, Ceefax and trips to Folkestone. Hosted on Acast.

Teletext50: The Stories A Byte High No Limit / illarterate co-production   In 1974, a brand new technology called teletext was being rolled out. It would, over the next few decades, have far-reaching implications, not only in the UK but worldwide.   These are the stories of those involved in the production, restoration and art of the blocky medium that graced UK TV screens until 2012. You'll hear from the pioneers, those who made teletext tick, and the newcomers keeping the medium alive 50 years after its inception.   This is a social record of teletext, and these are the teletext people.

Having raked over the council elections in the last episode, Jemma and Marina spend this one dissecting the Mayoral results. It's a win for Andy Burnham, a loss for Andy Street, a win for Ben Houchen and, most thrillingly of all, a loss for Susan Hall. Susan, who spent her time campaigning telling Londoners that where they live is a hellscape of unparalleled proportions. Funnily enough, that strategy didn't work. In this Trawl, enjoy her entirely graceless speech and Khan's humorous one which references the biggest winner of all, Count Binface. The man who wanted to reduce the price of croissants and bring back Ceefax did very well and completely trounced the Britain First candidate who also suffered a huge bout of sour grapes. Fortunately, there was someone in the crowd to put him right.

At 23:32:19 BST on 23 October 2012, Schoolboy Nathan Dane witnessed the close down of BBC's teletext service CEEFAX. The following years a pursuit to revive the abandoned service was realised with NMS CEEFAX, a fully working and up to date teletext service that can be used by anyone with an internet connection. Nathan's endeavours were now a national talking point from Radio Two, The press including The Guardian & TV's BBC One Breakfast wanting to find out more.

In the famous words of Staind..."It's been awhile". Back from our hols, we're continuing our series on the FIFA Women's World Cup with the 2015 final between Japan & the USWNT. So many records are broken in this historic final but we still find a way to talk about Ceefax & Teletext!

Depending on who you speak to, AI is either going to plunge us into the abyss or improve every aspect of our lives immeasurably. The hype around AI can be disorientating, so let the RTBC team steer you away from the grim end-of-humanity inevitability, as we explore a more nuanced version of the AI story. Our guests Mustafa Suleyman, Dr Mhairi Aitken and Lauren M. E. Goodlad discuss whether the benefits of AI will ever outweigh the risks, why AI hype can serve as a distraction from some very pressing issues, and whether Geoff can ever replace Ed as a more obedient podcast host.Plus: Despite the technological advances of AI, why are Ed and Geoff still hung up on Ceefax?GuestsMustafa Suleyman, Co-founder of Inflection AI and author of The Coming Wave: Technology, Power, and the Twenty-first Century's Greatest Dilemma (@mustafasuleyman)Dr Mhairi Aitken, Ethics Fellow, Alan Turing Institute (@mhairi_aitken / @turinginst)Lauren M.

"We were the first people in the World to do this sort of thing..." Graham Norwood.   Graham is a prolific travel writer and Formula One fan, but before all of this he cut his journalistic teeth at BBC Ceefax. Graham recalls the stories and events that the service reported on and conveyed to the public in it's unique way.

My guest this week is journalist, editor and poet Susan Norvill, who like me was in Lampeter in the early 1990s where she read Victorian Studies and English Literature. We find out about Susan's love of Victorian literature and what drew her to Lampeter, and how the place exerts such a hold over those who went there, and how the people are still there for us. Susan grew up in Weston-super-Mare and went to a convent school in Bristol, and we find out about her first job after leaving university as a mortgage counsellor. Susan worked at the Albert Hotel in Weston in the summer holidays while she was at university and recounts the time when she bumped into Anthony Hopkins while he was filming The Remains of the Day. We discover that Susan was offered a job as an extra and find out why she unfortunately had to decline. We talk about Susan's earliest memories and her love of Anne of Green Gables. She did a teacher training course in Scarborough after graduating, and we talk about the literary connections in the North Yorkshire town. We find out about Susan's affinity with the Victorian era, and with the music of the 90s when we were at Lampeter. We talk about how the journey to school in Bristol in the car was very music-oriented, and Susan's affection for Roy Orbison. We discuss the influence of radio, vinyl, cassettes and other audio technologies as well as Ceefax, and about which facets of the past appeal, and whether you have to live through an era to feel connected to it. Susan edited the Hong Kong Industrialist in the 1990s and we find out about her time in Hong Kong at the time of the Handover. We also find out about Susan's poetry, and the anthology she collated and edited following the Ukrainian invasion by Russia, United for Ukraine. Then, towards the end of the interview, Susan reflects on the bittersweet nature of nostalgia and how the past serves the present. We find out what Susan's younger self wanted to be and, at the end, we discover whether Susan is a looking back or a looking forward type of person.

Does anyone still get a paper delivered? Waking up at the end of the line, paper rounds, Ceefax, Cool 70's bikes, boobies in newspapers and other musings. 

The sixth round, the last eight, the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Now it's getting serious,  eternal glory sitting just three wins away. It's a round of pitch invasions and last-gasp penalties, of Ceefax recruits and dashed dreams. All human life is here - because that's the magic of the FA Cup ...

Thirty measly years ago, a grand changing of the teletext guard took place. Piece by piece, ORACLE disappeared from our screens to be replaced by a new service from Teletext (Limited). Jokingly billed as a 'nightmare' by ORACLE's TV listings, midnight on 1st January 1993 marked the end of a glorious era that encompassed legends such as Barney's Bunch, Buzz and the oft-overlooked ORACLE holidays service. Today on Teletext R, Twitter's Russty Russ returns in this (gently edited) repeat of his tribute to the dream that was Optional Reception of Announcements by Coded Line Electronics (oof, try saying that one three times). In hindsight, Russ's appearance should always have been its own episode, so seven years late, here it finally is!

Carlos presents a conversation with teletext legend Mort Smith, formerly of Ceefax and Intelfax, from the Sunday of Block Party 2022. This was not a scheduled panel, rather a discussion that broke out regarding Intelfax's bid for the ITV/Channel 4 teletext offer in 1993. Due to its impromptu nature, only the second half of this discussion was recorded. However, we are thankful for the magnificent Peter Kwan, who kindly captured it for us all to hear! During this audio clip, you also hear the voices of Julie Morton-Smith, Peter Kwan and Jason Robertson.

In the early 1970s Mort was the first BBC news Sub Editor to work on the new service called CEEFAX. He moved to the USA to start Chicago's Keyfax and then later returned to Blighty to run C4's upstart service 4TEL     I was privileged to speak with Mort and Julie  to record their experiences working at all these teletext services.   If you want to support the Podcast, please do you can buy me a KoFi Here You can Contact me on My Twitter Or email sunspotstories@gmail.com   music= William Rosati - Floating Also ♫ NO COPYRIGHT 8-bit Music

It's precisely ten years since the fateful day that Ceefax disappeared from its rightful home in the Beeb's Vertical Blanking Interval once and for all. That's a decade too long for our liking, so let's relive those golden days with a fun chat with Grim Underscore Fandango himself, the Master of Astrophysics, Jason Robertson. The main course is Ceefax in its formative days, brought to life once more through the magic of video tape recovery. Jason talks us through a service from 1975, when Ceefax was approximately 11 months old. But we also learn more about the man behind the Teletext Archaeologist moniker, including his band named after a badly-drawn (non-Ceefax) cartoon. Originally broadcast on Teletext Sofa Club LIVE, 1st April 2021

This Week in Retro is a weekly roundup of the hottest stories from the world of retro gaming and computing, voted on by you, the listener! Hosted by Neil from RMC and Chris from 005 AGIMA.

Tailscale is "A secure network that just works with Zero config VPN. Installs on any device in minutes, manages firewall rules for you, and works from anywhere " Tailscale is built around the Wireguard VPN, which runs on almost any platform and is now built into the Linux kernel. You can use the basic product to connect up to 20 devices for nothing. I have it installed on my UNraid server which is running Tailscale inside a Docker container. Setting this up took all of 10 minutes. Next, I installed Tailscale on my Android phone and could use it to view my Emby media server via 4g. As it's a VPN all traffic between your computers is encrypted. There is an experimental MagicDNS that automatically registers DNS names for computers on your network, so you can use URLs that are easy to remember such as "mymediaserver" instead of having to remember its IP address. An additional plus point is that it somehow works on networks using CGNAT (mobile phones and Starlink) so you can access your phone from your computer via a web browser.

Teletext was the dominant medium for accessing breaking news until the arrival of the World Wide ...

The BBC's teletext information service, Ceefax, launched on 23rd September, 1974 - providing the British public with a way to look up headlines, football results and TV listings, some twenty years before the launch of Internet Explorer.Countless National Lottery winners discovered their victories via the analogue service, which was discontinued in 2012. To this day, devotees still share ancient samples of it by uploading old VHS tapes to the web.In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why teletext never caught on in France; revisit the 1,445-episode ‘soap opera' ITV Oracle ran on its rival service; and play a Teletext-style Bamboozle quiz of their very own… Further Reading:• ‘The Editors: Goodbye Ceefax' (BBC, 2012): https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2012/10/goodbye_ceefax.html• ‘Minitel: The Old New Thing' (WIRED, 2001): https://www.wired.com/2001/04/minitel-the-old-new-thing/• ‘Pages from Ceefax - Three and a half hours of outdated news, sport and weather' (No Data Available, 2013): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU8P5G-GM_gWe had EVEN MORE to say about this internet 0.1, including 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.

If you’ve ever seen a teletext animation, there’s a very good chance Ian Irving had something to do with it. Arguably the world’s first teletext art superstar, he pushed the boundaries of the medium’s artistic capabilities in its formative years. As a member of the original Ceefax team, Irving revolutionised the service with a variety […]

It's our Christmas special this week, but there's none of the usual joviality as we continue to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on our clubs. Folkestone Invicta chairman Paul Morgan speaks about their decision - which pre-empted the league - to not play until at least the middle of January and why that may have been ambitious. Herne Bay manager Ben Smith is recovering from the virus himself and he tells us about the impact it has had on his club and how he thinks the season should be sorted out. Dover defender Bayli Spencer-Adams speaks after they returned to action with defeat in the FA Trophy, and we also discuss the farce of Frome Town and their trip to Maidstone, as well as all the rest of the goings on. Plus we talk booze, Ceefax mugs, festive plans, Tier Four and more besides.

As soon as the medium of teletext started offering package vacations in the 1980s, the Ceefax Holidays legend was born. ‘Ceefax Holidays’ soon became a generic term for holidays advertised on any teletext service.

Alex goes retro this week to investigate the wild successes of teletext (aka Ceefax), the text information service that haunted her youth. Meanwhile Caroline goes to space (again!) to think about how much she doesn't like it, and why many Americans were actually not that interested in it either.

Teefax, the community teletext service created by Peter Kwan, has recently been signal boosted in numerous news outlets.

1999 had its highs and lows. For every No Scrubs by TLC there was a Mambo Number 5 or virtually anything from the Backstreet Boys' back catalogue. Bluetooth came about, we all played Snake on our Nokia 3210s, and a Texan shocked the world by winning the Tour de France. Whatever happened to him? But when it came to professional cycling, maybe the best thing about the sport was just how inaccessible it was. If you wanted to keep up with European racing, your options were either the four lines of text posted on Ceefax, loading up Cyclingnews on your parents' dodgy modem, or waiting a week for your favourite cycling magazine to hit the shelves. However you managed to follow cycling back then, the fact that you had work for it only added to the romance. And the final UCI World Championships of the 1990s were arguably the most romantic and beautiful of the entire decade. The setting was perfect, the line-up stellar, even the race-winning break was filled with a mouthwatering array of talent. And, to top it all, we had a shock winner. This is the story of Oscar Friere's 1999 Worlds win and how a complete unknown stormed to victory in one of the biggest upsets the sport had ever seen. Join us as we re-tell the race on its 20th anniversary, and head to meet with Friere at his home in Northern Spain.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is writer Chris Hughes, who's 'moving house' to BBC1 in search of evidence of the existence of Ceefax-derived Saturday Morning oddity Buzzfax, Hector The Help The Aged Dog, Home Computing-themed comic Load Runner, The Gilette Video Show, novelty confectionery The One-Two Bar, impenetrable satirical cartoonist Mordillo, Inspector Morse-themed dance record Morse (He's A Mystery To Me) by Codex, and The British Banknote Keyring. Along the way we'll be finding out how to insult Noel Edmonds via Teletext, why Elton John shimmying between two pianos in mid-air was embraced by mid-eighties Action Movie audiences, and what you'll need to establish your very own Gonch Gardener lookalike agency.

Welcome to the 17th CONKERS’ CORNER. In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking with @stealthsurf, Jason to his friends. Jason is very passionate about trend trading and the importance of position sizing. Jason’s interest in investing started at a very early age and he recalls sitting with his Grand-Dad as he would check stock prices on CEEFAX when he was about 5 years of age. In his early twenty’s Jason thought it was time to sort out his own personal pension and so sought advice from a Financial Adviser. This led him into investing in Funds. He quickly learned that you should run your winners and cut your losers quickly. He used to work in a plastic moulding factory and would work flat out, then travel and surf in places like Australia and New Zealand. In 2008 when Jason returned from travelling he needed to have several operations on his knees and it was at this point that he realised that he could not to return to the heavy duty work related to plastic moulding. He decided at this juncture that he would trade full-time. This time however he decided that he would be trading rather than investing as he needed to make a living over the short-term. Two years ago Jason also started his own trading website http://www.tradingbases.co.uk/ Trading Bases is a systematic trend following technique and an insightful source of knowledge for new and also experienced traders and investors. Jason’s investing journey and discipline has enabled him to become a successful trader so much that he earns his living from trading the stock market. Listen now to gain insights into how he trades, how he filters stocks, uses moving averages, position sizing, compounding and learn from the lessons in his trading journey.
