Sadly, I couldn't join Sanja for Bubblegun this week, but instead she's joined by a guest from the East End of London whose job it is to feed the onions to the owls... Available on all podcast places - and YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQpx...

Would you like to help clean up recovered teletext pages? It's therapeutic, addictive and a public service :-) If you have an account at www.teletextarchive.com you can now request the RESTORER role via the menu under your user name, await approval and that will give you access to the editor.

Lots of "tricks" to "pull off"...

NEW UPDATE ALERT The first recovered Digi of 2026 is here, with 9 editions found by @neilmiles.bsky.social, the anon gent, and Sound & Vision. Massive thanks to them, and to @andrewisaround.bsky.social & @zxguesser.bsky.social for processing them. @mrbiffo.bsky.social www.superpage58.com/update.htm

In beta - the Teletext Archive Online Recovery Editor! Soon you'll be able to fix all those VHS errors you see in recoveries. It's therapeutic and addictive! There is an approval process in place to keep things right; a context menu for cut/copy/paste and editing attributes, and clip art library

Please, for all that is good, go pay some love to the super talented @mrbiffo.bsky.social aka Paul Rose. Enjoy his fantastically bizarre humour and wit and marvel in his work. Go to these channels and partake in their goodness. www.youtube.com/@Digitiser www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanja

I’ve just cross-referenced the booty @neilsmiles.com plundered for us, and there are 38 editions, all of which are new and not already covered in the Vault. That’s more than 1% of broadcast Digi in one fell swoop! We are well on our way to that mythical 72% figure…

A bountiful cache of recoveries came in today thanks to @neilmiles, plundered from the Tape Mountain. There is still *plenty* more where they came from - if you want a batch to get stuck into, give me a shout. I’ll even cover postage to you within the UK and Ireland.

You're not ready for the name of the energy transition specialist at Heat Pump Association UK

Less fascist-owned data-hoovering slop, and more of this on the internet please 👇

youtu.be/NNbMUUOXfVk?... i should warn you, it is unconventional, but it got me through some dark times

Still can't believe he's gone. 😢

Devastated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r840...

Man’s Daddy jokes for your cracker, sir?

NEW UPDATE ALERT Happy festive! The fun starts now, with 11 more editions of Digi, all the way back to Feb 93. Thanks to the anon gent & Sound & Vision for the recoveries, & @andrewisaround.bsky.social & @zxguesser.bsky.social for processing them. @mrbiffo.bsky.social www.superpage58.com/update.htm

Coming next year... youtu.be/uJJ21ykw80s?...

Available for free to our Upper Tier Patreons - or to buy separately for a mere £5 if you don't want to join up - it's The Man's Daddy's Funny Pamphy! An e-book containing 130 pages of remastered classics and many BRAND NEW jokes. Get your copy here: www.patreon.com/posts/mans-d...

The spoils of the last update have all been added to the site now: www.superpage58.com/update.htm I’m also readying to send another 50 tapes to recovery hero Sound And Vision to have their teletext plundered. If you’d like to take a box, or donate to the storage fund, see superpage58.com/donate

NEW UPDATE ALERT Lots more Digi has been added, with Tom Pitt's last ever recoveries, as he retires after finding 533 editions. Infinite thanks to him, the anon gent, @jamienemeth.bsky.social, @andrewisaround.bsky.social & @zxguesser.bsky.social. @mrbiffo.bsky.social www.superpage58.com/update.htm

Next year is the 10th anniversary of Mr Biffo's Found Footage and we're doing a crowdsourced (not funded) sequel. We plan to make it with real people from our community, showcasing real creative skills, and involve as many of our supporters as we can. Full details on Patreon: www.patreon.com/mrbiffo

I’m on my way to see a band that won’t be playing this titular song. Have fun all those doing the same, whichever band you’re seeing that won’t be playing this titular song!

Look: I'm in an advert.

Every time we put out a new vid we do a giveaway. This week, it's signed (with Man's Daddy jokes or weird Biffopics) postcards and a Karl Marx puppet from Highgate Cemetery. To be in with a chance, sign up to Patreon or join our channel. www.patreon.com/mrbiffo www.youtube.com/@PaulAndSanj...

Here’s a spooky mystery for you, this Halloween night. Why are so many people in China & Singapore suddenly pouring onto SP58? It usually gets ~20 a day, but on 23rd Oct something strange happened. More than 2k users yesterday! Is Digi big in China? Will @mrbiffo.bsky.social have to tour like Wham?!

NEW UPDATE ALERT Ten editions of Digi have been uploaded, taking us past the 2k mark. Only a third left to find! Huge thanks to Adrian Burke, Tom Pitt & the anonymous gent, and @andrewisaround.bsky.social & @zxguesser.bsky.social for their help. @mrbiffo.bsky.social www.superpage58.com/update.htm

Brand new video! Sanja and I spend a day in the UK's movie capital to see if we can have a "Hollywood-style" day out!

I really enjoyed DIGITISER & Bubblegun Live at Chunky Fringe last weekend. Thanks to @mrbiffo.bsky.social, Sanja and @superpage58.bsky.social. Biffo's 90min decline on the deflating sofa is really funny when you speed it up over 200x. He looks like he's at the dentist.

Wasn’t Chunky Fringe fun? Yes. Yes it was. If you’d like to relive the whole set of Boiler House performances - including my inexplicable turn as Cliff Richard in ‘Star Wars Episode X: The Naughty Hazard’, you can see the whole live stream here for the next 4 days or so. m.twitch.tv/videos/25830...

No Bubblegun this week due to Chunky Fringe and a full-on couple of weeks with work. But if you're missing us desperately... there are eps of Bubblegun Extra and other assorted bonuses on our Patreon (which is how we pay for everything we do - your support is appreciated): www.patreon.com/mrbiffo

I played Obi Wan Kenobi on a comedy podcast today, it was most amusing. #BubbleGun

And that’s a wrap on Chunky Fringe. Massive thanks to everyone who came, everyone who exhibited or performed, and everyone who made it possible. Special thanks to David Walford for organising and paying for the whole gosh darn thing. Hope you all had fun. Pic courtesy of Peter Kwan.

All the tellies up and running at #ChunkyFringe

Here's another pre-chunky-fringe teletext treat! A new vhs recovery has allowed us to complete another Turner the Worm story from 1995. The evil Robert Ratford is attempting to blow up the Earth! Read on at: zxnet.co.uk/teletext/tur...

9 years ago we held the first Digifest. It hasn't always been easy since, but I've much to be thankful for, made many new friends, and produced much that I'm proud of. This weekend, Sanja and I will once again take to the stage at Chunky Fringe. Come meet us! www.arbitraryfiles.com/events/cf25/...

Well my other posts don't seem to have worked, so I've decided to try superliminal advertising to get people to create some #TeletextArt for Chunky Fringe. blockparty.zxnet.co.uk

A lovely write-up of the last Chunky Fringe. Come find your tribe at Chunky Fringe 2025 this weekend. www.arbitraryfiles.com/games.html

Another reminder that the #ChunkyFringe teletext editing system is online for anyone to have a go at creating real teletext pages: blockparty.zxnet.co.uk Channel your inner @mrbiffo.bsky.social* and come and admire your creations in all their chunky glory on CRT tellies in Harrow this Saturday!

Is anyone travelling to Chunky Fringe from the north? If so, would you be up for a ride share or going in on a minibus to help these fine folks join us?

This happens IMMINENTLY. Come join us for all the Digitiser/teletext/retro tech/silliness you could want for precisely no money down. North London. Saturday. See you there.

NEW UPDATE ALERT I'm "beavering" away on my Chunky Fringe panel, but here's 10 recovered editions of Digi. Found by Adrian Burke (first of the tape mountain!), Tom Pitt & anon gent, fixed-up by @andrewisaround.bsky.social & @zxguesser.bsky.social. @mrbiffo.bsky.social www.superpage58.com/update.htm
