@streesmut70 That's CEEFAX, the BBC's teletext service, which used the same graphics as the BBC, 'B', Micro in mode 7. Although, only a text-based font, it was possible to create some graphical representations using the limited square and rectangular characters which were included in its 256 characters. Each could be coloured in one of 8 colours and could also be made to flash. Many examples of this, 'artwork', were used as captions on the BBC's, 'CEEFAX in-view', which was used at the time.
