quote 11:56:59
“ That telly is old, but it basically completely works, and I feel immensely smug about that fact. I mean, it’s colour and everything. And it does have a remote, yes. The only feature it doesn’t have - apart from widescreen and HD and everything else - is it’s pre-Teletext. But Teletext has come and gone, so you see it doesn’t matter! ”
David Mitchell, interviewed in the Guardian.
