Nostalgia for the teletext era is a foible of those born in the 1970s and 80s. It was the first port of call for news and all of us can remember watching a major sporting event live on teletext. As late as 2006, because of poor broadband and a lack of Sky Sports, I watched the final stages of the dramatic US Open via this mechanism. One second I was full sure that Montgomorie had it and then in the blink of an eye learned that he had double-bogeyed and Ogilvy was the champion.

See here for a fuller and actually rather moving ode to the teletext era. In the meantime, try our quiz. Can you make out the year from the information on each of these teletext screens?
