Every now and then Ceefax was shown on BBC1 or BBC2 with the wrong page number (so a different page no to the 152 newsreel) - on this occasion it was over an hour of P100 - the 'home page' being televised! Anyway, here is one of the late night/early morning Ceefax transmissions before the Learning Zone with the tape Choco Coca tracks 1 - 17, for some reason the last track 18 on Choco Coca is left out and the opening couple of tracks from another tape - New York Train are played just before the early morning BBC2 start-up. Enjoy, the music that is! Footage very kindly passed onto me by Bryan Green who is the source of the material :-)

Thank you ever so much, I remember hearing parts of the ceefax Choco Coca trade tape when I was a kid, but was missing some parts. It's wonderful to hear the complete version again after so many years. Thank you :D

Wow I feel like I've been transported back to being 14 again. I always wanted to get older back then so I could drive but now I wish I could be back then ahaha. I remember the track at 55:19 - got goose pimples.

about your video on Ceefax so why is your page goes onto p100 so does have 152 to change like headlines so why is the right corner bottom of the page when is changing that is so cool and I never done that before that is very cool I have never done that when I was a child.
