Lots of PCO on this one. Incidentally, the next episode was going to be the last but it got too big, so it's a seven-parter now.

Square Peg: the Dream of British Satellite Broadcasting - Episode Five

If BSB is remembered at all, over a quarter of a century on, it's as a cautionary tale of one of the biggest disasters in British business history. But it could, and perhaps should, have been the shape of British television, if it wasn't for their own incompetence, their own rotten luck, and a certain Australian entrepreneur bypassing all the rules.

Wishi knew what PCO meant. Doing a search on PCO video put me off my breakfast.

I love the penguins (duh me for not working it out); and so does Charlie Brooker of course :)
