      I remember reading this at my gran's house (RIP!) after school. I loved it! Love the humor.

        The longest-running site dedicated to Digitiser, the legendary Teletext video games magazine edited by Mr. Biffo (Paul Rose), which ran in the UK from 1993-2003

          I was obsessed with it, had to read it every day, the rise of the internet didn't matter one jot to me as Digi was where it was at. I had something posted on the letters page once, no idea what it was about and didn't get a comment to it. Felt like such a big moment though

          The Snakes were my fave and me and my mate will still occasionally say moc-moc-a-moc to this very day

            Mr Biffo ditched and burned his blog years ago, but someone archived it here:



            There's some really good stuff in it, from the few entries I've read. The Canis Canem Edit entry for April 2007 I found quite interesting, talking about being beaten to **** at school.

                Does anyone know what Paul Rose/Mr Biffo is up to these days?

                It always tickled me that he got to write a couple of episodes of Eastenders a few years back - I seem to recall him making a member of the rubbish Ferreira family doing some beatboxing in one episode because he didn't know what else to make him do. Oh, and Dirty Den calling some coppers a "pair of constables".

                Also worth checking out the website that he ran back in the day (although it's been dead for 12 years now): http://www.bubblegun.com/

                  He also wrote all of My Parents Are Aliens, which is watchable even for adults, but I don't think it's all out on dvd...

                    LOL! That report of Phil Harrison trying to flog a PS3 at a Marillion weekend (Apr.'07) cracked me up. My mate asked me to go along to that, too.

                        If they released a book with these old pages in them, I'd buy it in a flash. Does anyone know how much of the old Digitiser pages have been preserved?

                        I remember I saved a couple of pages where my letters appeared on Digitiser, I had a fancy TV card with some Teletext software. They're probably lost now though.
