2025: A Bluesky post showing subtitles for Miss Marple over BBC coverage of a performance by pop group Pulp

2023: A Twitter post showing subtitles for The Smurfs over a Channel 5 broadcast of the movie Ben Hur

2017: A Buzzfeed headline: “BBC News used the wrong subtitles for Donald Trump’s inauguration and it’s glorious”

Screenshot from 2017 Buzzfeed article, showing subtitles from BBC show “The Dumping Ground” over BBC News pictures of Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Fun subtitling “fails” like these are almost always not actually a mistake by the channel, but, less excitingly, usually in the home TV or set top box that creates a unique, one-in-a million error just on one person’s screen… which social media effortlessly lets millions of others enjoy too.

Mistigram: this haunting #teletext image of a #mermaid seen in #silhouette from below was drawn by @atonalosprey and included in the MIST0223 artpack collection released three years ago this month.

Release Removed DLL dependencies from TTIThumbnailProvider · peterkvt80/wxted A dependency that wasn't needed in TTIThumbnailProvider project could prevent the preview DLL from being installed, so it was removed. Replaced ESC (0x1b) with space in EP1 parsing.

New release v1.65 of #teletext editor wxTED. Adds a companion project TTIThumbnailProvider which adds a preview of TTI and EP1 files in Windows Explorer. github.com/peterkvt80/w...

The ultimate combo (with ceefax holidays klaxon)

This tool takes in plain-text template files in the MRG Systems TTI format, and allows you to generate a collection of TTI files to form a quiz which can be uploaded to your own Teletext service.

If you wanted to create a Bamboozle quiz with questions about the museum itself...

Made this as a beta, didn't add anything new for at least two years, so decided to stop calling it a beta...

But if you can make head or tail of it, you're more than welcome!

SimCity 2000 - Newspapers Simcity 2000 doesn’t just have terrain generation. Every city has between one and six newspapers that are updated every month with new stories about the city. The articles are clearly generated from.....

Could there be auto generated news pages, like those from sim city 2000? I think they had general templates but with "liberal word substitutions".
