Ceefax Strikes Back... with Count Binface
Count Binface achieves a lifetime ambition, resurrecting the mighty Ceefax in a hilarious reboot of an unlikely national treasure. Granted it's on the radio, but it's a start.
Ceefax has just reached its 50th birthday, and to celebrate this unique golden anniversary, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's once-mighty teletext news service is receiving the greatest gift of all - the gift of life, courtesy of the greatest novelty politician in the omniverse, Count Binface.
For eight years, Binface has pledged in his election manifestos to bring back Ceefax and now, at last, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is granting his wish. With just one small hitch - it's on the radio. Still, you've got to start somewhere.
Featuring the stellar talents of Rory Bremner, Emma Clarke and Jon Harvey, get ready for an aural event like no other, with the unlikely return to the airwaves of the much-missed Ceefax. Or should that be Hearfax?
