My daughter was like, "But dad, where's the remote control?"

I remember really wanting one of them for Xmas when I was a kid, and feeling bitterly disappointed when I didn't get it..

Actually, I must have a retro night sometime ... the atari games console still works and if I can dig out the bigtrak, all I'll need is some luminous orange tartrazine-laced squash and I'll be nine again!

Personally I grew up with tacky nineties crap replacing it. And now the tacky contemporary shite. So you'll probably find young people invest a decent amount of time researching modern history privately with distinctly pinkish lenses. But only in emergencies would they consider talking about it with those smelly individuals who experienced it.

I spent time researching the production of it and as a result have a small but treasured collection of french comics and an interest in the never made 60's version of Dune. I'm probably a twat for those reasons.
