Max Headroom would sound about right.
Or was it something with Muriel Grey and one of her more extreme hair accessories?

When it started, the show was unique in that it had no presenters computer-generated displays took their place. The "pop-up" information snippets were represented as "windows" in a mock-up graphical user interface called HUD. In 1987 this was replaced with the more familiar display which featured a "mouse-pointer" and "icons" generated on an Amiga computer. Although commonplace nowadays, such interfaces were relatively cutting-edge at the time. The look of the icons was updated on the move to ITV in January 1989, and again upon the show's relaunch on December 7, 1991. However, this update only lasted one show and the previous 1989 icons returned the following week and lasted until May 1996 when the show's look and production was completely overhauled and was replaced with an animated text banner at the bottom of the screen.

French and Saunders did a good spoof of it when they dressed up as Bros.

Bastards. I spend half an hour trawling through intertnets, then finally chance upon Star Test, return to the thread all smug and excited only to find some bugger's already done it.
However, every cloud and that; I'd completely forgotten about the little-known gem that was Murun Buchstansangur!
