So, this is where all the “robot is off but not off” was going!

Yes, it was a cheap gag about being chased by the CMOS clock

I’m sure you will all appreciate the pacman reference though – surely one of the greatest computer games ever made.  I remember playing it both in the arcade and on my BBC micro (as Snapper! – A perfect conversion). I have such nostalgia for it that recently I built a mock arcade control panel and using it I play (mainly) 3 games – Pacman, Defender and Joust. But the background of the arcade emulator is – you guessed – a pacman tribute!

Gosh – I hope you will excuse that old-timer geek outburst.  But, you know, time catches up with all of us!
