Welcome

Ok, it's a grand name. Sorry.

With the great analogue switch-off already happening in parts of the UK, it won't be long before teletext (with a small t) as we know it will be extinct.

What we don't want to see is it vanish without trace in the way that Prestel did.

This website, although being set up as a location for my own personal collection of data and documents, is open to all to submit their examples of teletext "then and now" with the aim of creating a permanent resource.

Some of the pages have errors in them that are glitches in the original reception, and I can do nothing about this..  Some of the galleries have some frames of garbage, or completely garbled data. This will be a display issue, so I'll be trying to sort these out over time..

All pages displayed are created by the webserver directly from original saved data, in a variety of formats.  Textual equivalents are also made available.  I hope this gives the best experience possible.

Main limitations at present - no search (you'll have to wait for google to catch up) and no reveal (although swapping to text mode will reveal hidden text).
