the distortion at 0.49 looks artificial, also the pages move on a bit too quick (are they at the same speed as ceefax?) and finally it doesn't really suit youtube, stick the resolution up a notch so we can read it better. apart from those gripes i thought it was ace, classic ceefax music too...its like its 6.30am 1982 all over again :-)
Oh this was brilliant thanks. TVC Films isn't my favourite mailout, but I had to just see where you were going with this and I'm glad I did. Very funny and accurate. Much like the real thing, even down to the need to 'hold the image' to read it.
Any chance of 'Jobfinder'?'?

The music is BART by Tom Fogerty & Ruby from the album "Ruby". A remix of it can be found on the album "Precious Gems"

Does anyone know what the track is ? I think it's fairly famous piece of library music ?

I have to say this is just about the funniest thing I've seen on the web in a very long time.
And forget the technicalities on whether it's widescreen or distorted properly. Just laugh - this is brilliant.
Well done to all concerned... :-)

It's a spoof of British Teletext in the 1980's on VHS. I think you had to be there really ;)

Yes - I know. I was just replying as suggested in the text. A poor attempt a a joke unfortunately.

'Lewis Collins not in Tortoise form' - still genius after all these years. Classic Ceefax proggy trac too. Well done

That was funny - excelently done and the best "fake" of VHS damage I've ever seen - you should teach the TV channels how to do it!
