DIGITISER IS BACK!

4/7/2016

So, yesterday - for the first time in more than 13 years - I did some teletext editing.

I'm trying to get up to speed for Block Party - our teletext and Digitiser celebration that's happening on October 1st in Cambridge. I'm aiming to create some brand-new Digitiser pages for the event (and - hopefully - bring some of our characters to life...), as well as put together some exclusive merchandise.

So if you missed the pics on Twitter, I thought I'd share them here as well.

FYI, tickets for the daytime activities are now SOLD OUT, but we still have tickets left for the evening Digitiser celebration-me-do. As well as a very special screening, we'll have the ultimate Digi panel - with myself, Mr Hairs, Mr Udders, and Violet Berlin - and a number of other activities... in what promises to be an intimate evening of Digi-related shambolics. You honestly do not want to miss it. It's going to be brilliant.

​You can buy tickets here. Just £10!

Would love to come, but I'm in the north - and the north is far from the south. There's a whole middle in between..

I'm in the Ulster ITV franchise region or else I'd pop down too.

I am also a Norther and I am worried by the time I pack up my family and move down there, the economy will be gone.

I would have loved nothing more but I'm in Australia Dave.

Sorry Bruh.

Does Australia Dave know you're stuck inside him?

Can't be arsed/live thousands of miles away.

One of those is truer than the other.

Unlike these others I'm booked and hotelled up and looking forward to it.

What special treats do you have from your aubergine of delight with which to tantalise us?

Well now... Mr Hairs and I will be filming something special over the summer. I've started animating - among others - The Man's Daddy, for his debut live performance. A few other ideas are floating around - some of which are, potentially, VERY exciting - but I won't announce them until we're a little closer the date. It's all going to be worth the travel/hotel though, Frankus.

Even the items you've mentions sound excellent.

Monsieur Biffo, with these Teletext treats you really are spoiling us!

Also, I see you've lost none of your touch with the pixelwork either, some fine (and funny) work there!

Bah. The more I hear about this event the more I become jealous that I can't make it.

I'd really appreciate it if you reorganised the whole thing and held it in north Derbyshire instead. There's £5 and a king-size Twix in it for you. Think it over.

Ta muchly.

I miss teletext so much, Red Button text doesn't cut the mustard. I really loved seeing these new pages Mr Biffo, much appreciated. More please!

Love the new-old Digi pages. You've still got the skillz!

I don't think new-Digi should be *exactly* the same as old-Digi, *but*... seeing these old fake adverts and similar, I do miss them in new-Digi.

I think it would be excellent if you could add the occasional thing like this to the bottom of a review or other article, plus some little asides from the snakes, Morse/Lewis, or new characters if you don't want to retread old ground. Hopefully if they were just tacked onto articles about something else, they wouldn't bring down the clicks.

In all honesty... I don't really care about bringing new people in anymore...! Briefly at the start I thought Digi2000 could be a proper, y'know, full site eventually. Now I realise that it would be restrictive - I much prefer this being somewhere I can do what I want, while supported by you guys rather than advertisers. So... yeah... I've missed teletext-o-vision too, John. There will be more.

Wondrous , vibrant pixel alchemy! Great to see your digital artistry in all of its Teletextual glory once again Mr. B.

This reminds me distinctly of my best ever job, working with my best mate, spending lunch breaks at his swanky flat (well, from my still-living-at-home persoective it was certainly swanky...).

Pot Noodle (Chicken and Mushroom), a can of something fizzy, and 30 minutes perusing Digitiser. Bliss.

Plus, I loved that job, so even returning to work was okay!

Pains me to realise that life pretty much peaked back then - especially when the aforementioned mate acquired a voodoo 3D card (with VGA loop-back...) and Carmageddon.

Lunch time Noddle-digi-geddon.
