bbc two
they just used a b3tans image, the one with the cat on a roomba that is firing shells.

What other stuff has made it of b3ta and on to the tele?

It was actually.
I said I wanted £3000 and they gave it to me :D

Basically my David Hasselhoff pic (also my Jeremy Beadle and a good few others up until 6 months ago) was the first result on Google images. Someone stole it and used it on the show for a kids gameshow thingy.

Was really weird how I found out as i work next door to the Nickelodeon offices and they were carting it out as I walked past and I started freaking out. man, talk about fate. The girl who made it thought I was nuts then went white when I asked to see her manager and then the MD. I had copyright on the image too. I got my work's legal department to come in with me :)

i abandoned my inventing after BMW came up with the same idea
that I had had 5 years previously
i was still in the research and development stage, so i didn't have a working prototype to base a patent application on. sad times :(

basically, this explains what i was trying to achieve www.gizmag.com/go/2766/
(I helped save b3ta! mns 2️⃣2️⃣9️⃣0️⃣7️⃣, Thu 14 May 2009, 22:37, archived)
in fairness K, if they had the idea after you they would just spend you into
penury by letting it go to court and employing time-wasting tactics so you can't afford to take it further. A patent doesn't protect you from copying, it only allows you to sue someone if you can afford it.

/goddam Sega Saturn and N64 did me out of my great idea :-(

my system was similar to both BMW's and Citroen's
i'd sorted out the electrical side of it (two relays meaning hazards flash faster was the original prototype) but was still working on (and limited by my lack of technical knowledge and resources) the dynamic inertia side of it

oh well

Defying the question to the letter of the law ( but in the same spirit)
Anil Gupta used to frequent the same writers' forum / chat room on AOL as me. So when I saw two quite specific jokes from a piece of mine in a Christmas edition of Goodness Gracious Me I was highly suspicious. But look at it this way, either 'was nicked' but that means 'worth nicking' , or 'wasn't nicked, coincidence' which means 'you're on the right path if that kind of thing makes it to TV, son.

However these days I am an engineer so never mind.
