From an interview with the creators of Look Around You, an observant and surreal take-off of BBC schools science programming from the late 70s and early 80s:

The Kross-Kommunicator
The Tell-Me-More
The Intercontinental Conversational Forum (ICF)
The PN-200
Atlas Atlassonimus
Supertext
Man-To-Man
The JL-SX 200
The Know-It-All
‘Pelby’
Be sure to check out the video clips and periodic table, which includes elements such as Wood (Wd), Custard (Cd), Fools’ Gold (f Au) and Christmas (Xm). And please feel free to leave your internet name suggestions in the comments.

There was once a time, back in those 90’s, that someone - who once participated in something Internet-ty that I also participated in. Her comment to this was as follows : “Isn’t this Interactive Internet FUN?”
I could have slapped her silly there and then.
