Max Headroom/Talk

Very nice entry. Thanks!

You're welcome. Other than looking up the number of episodes and the actor's name who played Bryce, I did it all from memory. OK, I'll admit it, I recorded (and still have) 12 or 13 of the episodes on video tape. Gosh, I'm a geek! :-) --Alan Millar

Scary. Very scary. ;-)

You know, a .wav file would be cool, for people who have never heard him speak. Maybe the Coke quote, I don't know. I assume it's okay to include appropriate audio in an article, right? --Dmerrill

I can't see why not from a technical or policy viewpoint. You have to be careful about copyright though. A few seconds (such as a simple quote) constituting a very small part of the original work is probably okay under fair use provisions, so long as you acknowldge its source and that it is copyrighted. -- SJK

Couple of things that should be added/cleared up: The original British "pilot" was a 1984 stand-alone TV-movie (Titled Twenty Minutes Into the Future), by Channel 4, not the BBC I think. Channel 4 then followed this up with The Max Headroom Show which was basically a music-video presentation show. The American made TV series came later. I only saw a few episodes of the series, but the original film was superb. Perhaps the best example of cyberpunk to ever make it to the TV. -- DrBob

Yes, I did some checking and Channel 4 is correct. Now integrated into article. --Alan Millar

M-m-m-max. Headroom. Headroom. yeah, I was heartbroken when they took that off the air.
