5:02Now Playing"That is mind-boggling" - Bob Langley
David Seymour and Bob Langley take their first, tentative steps into a wider world, one rich with all manner of exciting possibilities - the wonderful world of modern television. No longer is watching television a largely passive experience, punctuated by the odd channel change. Television in 1977 is a thrillingly interactive medium; now you can browse thousands of pages of the latest news, sport, weather and more, thanks to the launch of Ceefax - the BBC's teletext service - or you can bring the experience of the arcade to your living room, courtesy of the Videomaster Home T.V. Game console.
What a time to be alive!
