episode 30: Ceefax is still alive in 2024 - Nathan Dane


At 23:32:19 BST on 23 October 2012, Schoolboy Nathan Dane witnessed the close down of BBC's teletext service CEEFAX. The following years a pursuit to revive the abandoned service was realised with NMS CEEFAX, a fully working and up to date teletext service that can be used by anyone with an internet connection. Nathan's endeavours were now a national talking point from Radio Two, The press including The Guardian & TV's BBC One Breakfast wanting to find out more.

Join me in conversation with the inventor and curator, the man himself, Nathan Dane who explains how he done it and what he has in mind next for the 50 year old medium.
