4905.0. "Amiga on UK TV" by BAHTAT::BAHTAT::HILTON (How's it going royal ugly dudes?) Fri Jul 19 1991 12:18

    Wow!
    
    The Amiga's hit big time! I nipped home at lunchtime, and popped the
    telly on. There was an Amiga 500 on Neighbour (I don't really watch
    it). They had painted the AMIGA words blue so they stood out.
    
    Most of the show centered around it, 'cos it got a virus. (Great
    advertisement)!!

4905.2... and another, and another ...FORTY2::CADWALLADERFri Jul 19 1991 14:156
	There was also an AMIGA500 on a side desk at the school where Todd
	goes, and jeepers!! Todd owns a C64/128. You'd never guess CBM provide
	the computers, would you?

	Thing is why didn't they have a 3000T with 2 100Meg hard disks etc...?
4905.3More Amiga Soap!SNOC01::JACOBMARKMon Jul 22 1991 02:1016
    
    
    It gets better (or worse?) ;-) I am a POM currently working on a contract
    down under in Sydney. We are slightly ahead of UK in the state of Neighbours
    soap series. (Or so my girlfriend assures me) In an episode a few weeks
    ago Josh. used his trusty Amiga/modem to break into the schools Amiga and
    changed Lucys school report. In the same episode Paul "the tycoon" was
    doing the hotels accounts speadsheet on another. Unfortunately all 3
    were a mere A500 (probably the same one eh?) But still good exposure!
    
     Just thought you'd like to know.
     Mark.

    You just have to look at who the programme is aimed at.
