Goodbye Ceefax

Ceefax is no more, with the last UK TV region switching from analogue to digital this week. There's a nice little 4 minute retrospective clip on the BBC website, which points out that Ceefax was the world's first broadcast of digital information into the home. Lots of nostalgia packed into it, with station ID logos many of you will recall fondly. And the item at 1:17 chosen to illustrate the use of Ceefax for subtitles will be *very* familiar to a large chunk of my flist, who will readily date it to late 1981. :->
