Happy Max Headroom Incident day!

max headroom incident - 8 bit

This is the anniversary of the infamous hack that interrupted a television broadcast in Chicago, Illinois.  A Classic Tom Baker Dr Who episode was replaced with a lunatic in a Max Headroom mask.  A prank from from 1987, it remains unsolved to this day.

Watch the transmission here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cycVTXtm0U0
