Here's the link to the in-vision Pages From Ceefax I captured from videotape:

Remember, Pages From Ceefax is still a thing in 2026 thanks to Nathan Dane:

Checked in on the latest tape going through the teletext recovery setup, and discovered I was capturing teletext from the VBI while teletext was also in-vision on Pages From Ceefax. Very meta.
(Yes, I'll rewind when it's done and capture that, too, before you ask.)
Now on BBC2, a selection of biscuits from Sainsbury’s.

It's Friday afternoon, the weather is lousy, you're still working… must be time for #Ceefax music. 👌

"Ceefax was the world's first teletext service, going live on 23 September 1974. In a pre-internet world, the revolutionary system allowed people to check the latest BBC news and sport updates at the touch of a few buttons."
Not a trick, and you were right but for the wrong reason.
The BBC demonstrated a prototype Ceefax on Tomorrow's World in October 1972, and it was in field trials in 1973. The Internet was invented in 1973, and Stanford, BBN, UCL, et al. were pushing packets around by 1975.
New pence, Ceefax, ABBA, and (according to its inventor) the pronoun "xe" all pre-date the Internet.

If you get this joke, then you’re exceptionally geeky about at least two different things…
