Last night episode was about tech in the 80's.
Game and Watch games, table top games, colour TV's, microwaves, video cassette recorders, home computers - bought back some wonderful childhood memories !

Keep a look out at the start of the program, they showed a GF-555 or GF-666, with a badly chewed tape being removed from it...not very good advert for boomboxes ! Later on you'll see another boombox, which I couldn't recognise - any ideas ? Look out for the hi-fi separates the walkman and the chap with 50+ video cassette recorders in his garage... Smile Enjoy !
