Nothing can compare to the 'original' Tom and Jerry cartoons, the later ones are awful! Just got hold of the blu-ray set of the first 37 shorts... mmm, T&J in high definition!

When I was six mobile phones were in their very infancy - nothing more than walkie-talkies really. This piece from the BBC's Tomorrow's World programme in 1979 showing the start of proper mobile telephones was actually filmed in my home town and I went to the polytechnic it was shot in (the Anglia Polytechnic in the middle of Chelmsford... recently demolished though). A guy I worked with a few years ago had been in the team that developed it at Marconi, also in the town.
