They should have had Patricia Routledge on for this... NO YOU CANNOT HAVE A NUMBER THIRTY SEVEN WITH PRAWNS! And they gave low budget John Cleese, aka Dr. Hello quite the bulge 😂😂😂😂😂

First: Chris Serle - the less irascible Jeremy Paxman. Second: imagine the budget being spent on this being set aside for something as cheesy as this today. Lawks! (Edit: classic Norden line - "when you get to my age, memory is the second thing to go" - class!)

This would have been one of the last things Fulton Mackay filmed, he died a couple of years later.

James Holder You’re welcome, I am just uploading them to my channel but they do of course belong to BT, so I can’t take all the credit. ☺️

I am so sorry but I cant fathom how much cringe im hearing... "What kind of telephone are you?" well I would most definitely be the Western Electrics 51AL Candlestick phone, or the Model 102 phone. lmaoo I love old Phones! #TheBellSystem

Thanks for the upload. What kind of products would have the red triangle and why would you buy them if you couldn’t use them on BT?

BBC600 You’re welcome. Phones that had a red triangle sticker would of been the ones you bought from back street electronic shops, usually the imported ones from other countries...You could buy them, but you were not aloud to connect them to the BT network, of course people did! That rule doesn’t apply anymore, you can connect whatever you like to the line now.

I can't answer exactly as I'm in the US, but my suspicion would be that they were not tested and approved to meet regulations. Here in the US the regulations were a combination of measures to protect the customer and the phone company. You didn't want a telephone sending mains back up the line or taking too much power while it was supposed to be on hook and actually taking the line off hook.

What?! The regulation was such that telephone system was set up as a not -for-profit public service therefore they were the only organisation that was allowed to exist to provide those services

If only they'd used real customers. Shame really. Nowadays, companies would pay big bucks to get someone to do this hence why you don't see it lol.
