    Max Headroom was so far ahead of its time. I can’t, to this day, pass a car park without remembering how he got his name - which is every day.

      lol yes! I just recently discovered that. I thought it was just some combination of computer jargon when I was a kid, until I saw a sign above the entrance of a parking garage in downtown West Palm Beach then had to take a pic of it.

      I once ran head first into a Max Headroom barrier when I was pissed one night and trying to get a bus home from Manchester.
      I woke up the next morning with a cracked rib, chipped collar bone, and a massive gash across my forehead.
      I told everybody I got into a fight because it was marginally less embarrassing than the truth.
      As far as I know my mind wasn't downloaded whilst I was unconscious though.
