They definitely demo’d CDs as being virtually indestructible. Somehow they ended up softer than butter

I remember that – they smeared CDs with jam and scratched them and all sorts. Also the myth that you could clean them with toothpaste.
On a related note, they showed the first CD Walkman as well.

I do some work with Maggie Philbin – she’s still actively promoting technology and engineering (in schools). She’s a fab presenter – even if the kids have no idea who she is!

Do a search for Teentech if you’re interested.

I remember that – they smeared CDs with jam and scratched them and all sorts.

I remember the Smith & Jones spoof of this in the 80s. “This is a CD. You can scratch it, smear it with strawberry jam… in fact there are many ways you can amuse yourself with one whilst you save up for a CD player.”

Michael Rodd was also a presenter.

He also did Screen Test

How cool is that a mobile phone with a rotary dial on it!
