Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026You do seem to be on the money with that... but they're asking for emails which I find odd for a programme you're meant to dip in and out of. Apparently they also showed Remix at the same time so you could watch last week's show instead if you wanted! I'm guessing on red button? 200
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Is this kind of thing useful to anyone at all? It gets half of it wrong anyway. All I wanted was a video of it… 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The Wikipedia page makes a point that it was “filmed in colour”, well yes, everything was by 1985 110
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 08/08/2026How to tell the age of the website you're visiting - when it tells you how to make a custom ringtone on your Nokia. 021
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Why is Graham Hitchins off Twenty Twelve presenting Eurovision? 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 13/05/2026“Give me a second, I’m just risking burning the house down in order to take a photo for Wikipedia” 131
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Blows my mind the voter turnout on these local elections. I of course have no solution to the problem, either. But surely something has to be done? 110
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 01/05/2026Thanks, Outlook. Not seen this screen before, but then, I have an empty inbox once a blue moon. 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Thinking about the famous "Copter" Flash game, that only existed because someone made it for a tie-in website for the fictional company Seethru, from the turn of the millennium BBC Two "dot.com drama" Attachments. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attachm... 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Do you need to know every single promotional appearance Michael Buble made for his 2009 album Crazy Love? Then Wikipedia has got you covered. 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Paul McCartney on the lyrics to With a Little Help from My Friends. “It just doesn’t scan”. 010
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Oh hey it’s that clip I made go viral yonks ago, randomly turning up on my Facebook feed. Pretty sure it’s the same video I captured too 200
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Is this an early example of phone hacking? An amusing story about the Points of View answering machine I found in a 1997 issue of 405 Alive magazine - www.bvws.org.uk/publications... 020
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I don’t know what this photo was promoting, but it’s probably funnier without context. ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/64... 101
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I see iOS in 2026 has introduced album art colour matching, catching up with *checks notes* iOS in 2016. 010
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Weirdly after I saw this, my Facebook feed served me up this post from a telephone exchange group, about this era of BT branding still surviving in an exchange in Surrey 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 15/03/2026I would like to speak to the person who put the heart reaction next to the crying laughing reaction. 010
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 12/03/2026I always thought the original 91 clock background looked nicer (why was half the screen black on the newer one?) i0.wp.com/rewind.thetv... 010
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Fascinated by the Wiki photo for House of Games, which for some reason features only two guests (one is Suzi Perry I think, not sure the other one) and standing as far away from Richard as possible (COVID era?) 100
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Still on a breakfast TV nostalgia kick, I remembered that Breakfast once had a set with a gap in the sofa that got complaints because the presenters supposedly looked like they hated each other 120
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Thanks Steve, luckily someone’s put that online. Yes they probably were trying to be as up to date as possible, not knowing he’d be off the sofa so quick 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 15/02/2026After reading “Morning Glory”, a bit fascinated with the fate of Adrian Brown, TV-am’s replacement for Nick Owen who lasted 8 weeks. There seems to be no footage online of him on TV-am at all, either as newsreader or his stint on the sofa. Just this cutting from TV Times. 220
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Things That Will Only Ever Annoy Me: the credits font on Seinfeld being changed on the new HD versions. The old font is Univers. And yes Larry David was credited as Buck Dancer on intitial broadcast... 001
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 29/12/2025Good morning. I have to go into work today, so to cheer myself up, here’s some stills from the opening titles for A Bit of Fry and Laurie series 2. 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 25/12/2025Good the see U&Gold still have the 1997 era break bumpers on the Vicar of Dibley Christmas Lunch Incident!! (This screenshot is from 2017 but you get the idea) 030
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Sometimes YouTube comments are awful, then sometimes you get things like this. 010
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Got the Radio Times today and already can’t wait for Christmas WILTY. 001
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Nice to see the Charmless Man video in 4K (with visible film grain and no/little AI enhancement far as I can see) youtu.be/p1a_4CN4onA 000
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Also also, I think Granada got one of the worst typography treatments out of all the regions. It literally looks like someone opened Word 97 and typed the name out in the default Times New Roman. With apologies to @sgordonthe87.bsky.social for stealing a screenshot from one of his videos. 110
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Whoever designed the new Office, sorry, Microsoft 365 icons didn't think about what they'd look like as a desktop shortcut. 110
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Though I’m sure I remember at the time, someone remarked that the 2002 ITV1 logo looked like a chocolate bar wrapper! 100
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Can’t get over the photo the BBC chose to use of George Harrison when he died. One of the most photographed humans on Earth and they use THIS: 030
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 17/06/2025This is what Morrisons call a “garden centre”. I’m pretty sure it’s a trolley park. 020
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Radio 1 playing a Sugababes song so old the cover says it’s CD 1 of a 2 CD set 221
Phil @vmphil.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Fifty years ago today, Radio 1 held a "Fun Day" at Mallory Park. This day was seared into the memory of John Peel. He recalled his experience for the Radio 1 Story documentary in 1997. If you have not seen this clip before, please watch to the very end. You will not be disappointed. 1319780
