Broadcasting mostly during TheNineties on Creator/{{ITV}}'s Teletext service (which replaced the ORACLE service in 1993), Digitiser - [[FanNickname Digi]] to its friends - occupied a small run of five or six, daily-updated pages on the subject of VideoGames, written initially by two individuals - Tim "Mr Hairs" Moore, and Paul "Mr Biffo" Rose, (latterly Biffo alone, with bylined columnists at weekends) and was started when Rose, merely a graphic designer for Teletext Limited at the time, one day suggested that the service cover games, and the rest is history.

* ExecutiveMeddling / MoralGuardians: Digi would often fall foul of them, not least due to its surreal humour, which would see sub-editors at Teletext cut out whole pages of reviews and demand changes to the most innocuous of headlines. And one genuine run-in with the broadcast regulator over [[KickTheDog a joke about violence and Gossi The Dog]].
