Talk:Max Headroom Television Hijacking (1987; Lost Audio From First Transmission)/@comment-108.81.145.59-20140927131610/@comment-108.81.144.148-20150418230132

Having seen the second one on broadcast, it wasn't very creepy to me, and I was 16! I was, however, excited that I had something to talk about at high school the next day, and upset that I didn't record it (I mean, I already had Horror of Fang Rock from the last time it aired).

Next day all kinds of crazy things happened. I was interviewed by phone by my favorite DJ because I could remember a lot of what was said (though "I can still see the X" sounded more like "I stole CBS"), and later when I went to tell my friend at high school about the hijack, he was surprised and replied, "Well, I'll look at it when I get home," meaning he had taped it!

And the whole thing happened on the 24th anniversary of the first airing of Doctor Who, which makes it seem more bizarre.
