Wonderful. I was a TV engineer from 1969 to 1990 and this was an interesting time - the mass adoption of colour on UHF, Ceefax/Oracle, video recorders, CD players etc. Great strides in electronics. I'd just like to say this video comes from the days when BBC presenters spoke clear English.

Love how she leans on an invisible lamppost at the start.

Mind blowing on so many levels, not at least how ridiculously futuristic the time we live in now is in comparison. Thanks for sharing! 🌟

When we enquired about Teletext in about 1983, my brother asked which would be cheaper - a telly with Ceefax or a telly with Oracle - I said that it makes no difference, as you get both!

If you have a raspberry Pi and an old TV (doesnt have to be a CRT) with a Teletext button, you can!

In the 1970s, a television engineer had to have a beard. It was essential when applying for the job.

In the new forest there’s a guy called Geoff Hoskins. In 1970 when I was 6 he and his incredible Sideburns fitted an outdoor Ariel for our new RR set. 40 years on and he still does the odd Ariel c/w slightly toned-down Sideburns which I reckon can detect which direction Rowridge is by now 😆

Interesting, our teletext service here in Australia was transmitted on / run and operated by Channel 7, and by most major commercial regional channels in the days before affiliate aggregation, or, as we called it, aggrivation / aggravation. Many jobs were lost because of aggregation, the industry is now a shell of its former self, much like the regional commercial radio industry. Mainly due to the abuse of networking / syndication, and computer automation. The local AM station once employed 8 announcers (plus a big number of off-air employees too) back in the day (the 70s through to the late 1980s), now, there is not one announcer employed locally, all programming (even the automation) and production comes from / is fed from a network hub, and the only staff employed locally are a few sales reps, and a receptionist. Theres not even a local PD or GM anymore! Sad, but that's corporate greed for you I guess. The national broadcaster, the ABC, also had / ran their own commercial-free teletext service, which was obviously broadcasted nationally.
