Description:

For the first episode of 2025 we take a look at some of the BBC's Tomorrows World predictions from 30 years ago. What did they get right and wrong. We talk about how video game history can be different depending upon which angle you look at it. Then finally it's all about the CRT TV and would you want a monster of a set in your home?

All this and more retro tech news in Dave's Briefs and we set a new Community Question Of The Week.

This week we are sponsored by Sega Mania magazine. The new issue covers the second half of 1995 and finds out what is new for the Saturn and if the Mega Drive still has life left in it. Head on over to https://www.sega-mania.com/ and use the code TWIR10 to save on issue 8!
