Yep. Watched both of those

 

yeah remember those

 

Classic shows!
I've got a quicktime file of one of our software products on Tomorrows World back in the early 90's. It was just after The Mirror (think it was the mirror, something to do with news international I know) got busted by BSA/FAST for having illegal software. Being a newspaper they used Mac's so they deciced to use our software to keep themselves legitimate, TW picked up on the news story and got our software on the show to display how it could prevent piracy, or, as Kate Bellingham (think it was Kate, wasn't Judith Hann or Maggie Philbin called it (in the usual TW make-up-a-name game) Soft Lifting (have you ever heard it called that? software theft, yes, but soft lifting?)

 

Markus, is there a link for that show on the Net ?

 

Not that I've found, but I'm just uploading a copy, will stick a link up to it when it's uploaded.

 

cool!

 

This should get you a copy in quicktime .mov format.

Alas due to the BBC's policy of not advertising the name of our product or our company wasn't mentioned However, as this isn't the BBC The product was called MacSupervisor and it was used by quite a few places.

Was a nifty bit of software actually and have to admit I quite liked using and supporting it.

 

Nice one, although I don't recognise that presenter. Can't beat a bit of Judith Hann.

Anyone remember The Adventure Game (1980) ?
BBC - Cult - Classic TV - BBC - Title Sequences - The Adventure Game

 

TAG, hell yeah! Fantastic show. Gronda! Gronda! Gotta love drogna
The final episode was postponed due to it's original air-date being on 28th Jan 1986, the date of the Challenger shuttle explosion

 

I think I watched every single episode of that

doogy rev

 

Love the narration of the opening, especially the "...often they will even nick the essential crystal off their ship"

 

yeah, a nod to Douglas Adams & Hitch-Hikers Guide.

I was gutted to be told they did a program over New Years dedicated to Multi-Coloured Swap Shop !! Wonder if it made its way onto the Net. Would've loved to hae seen it.

BBC - Cult - Classic TV - Swap Shop - (1976-1982)

 

I remeber the Amiga one, seemed hopelessly unatainable and futuristic at the time.
