The Horror of Max Headroom
In one of the stranger footnotes in North American Doctor Who history, during a Chicago broadcast of The Horror of Fang Rock in 1987 a bunch of people broke in with a strange Max Headroom-inspired sequence. This was one of those stories that of course spread around like crazy Back In The Day, but this is perhaps the first chance for many people to see what happened. I'm not sure how long this will stay around -- but really, I wouldn't see any reason for it to go away.

I remember that. I taped it that night — I might conceivably still have the tape around here somewhere.
Ah, the good old days. I remember that night. I was in college and we thought it was just a local thing until we saw the news the next day.
We spent a lot of time after that learning how to push our own signals over the wire in the dorms. It was a great time for covert runs under the hall and transmittions of Commodore64 animated porn.
