´óÏó´«Ã½

´óÏó´«Ã½ Red Button is ten years old! Hang on,

Well it all depends when you count it from. The pilot service was launched in autumn 1998, and the service fully launched the following year.

Anyway, the Telegraph is celebrating by including Managing Editor John Denton and asks where the red button will be going next. Although we should gently point out to the Telegraph that we're not called ´óÏó´«Ã½i any more!

Meanwhile in the Observer, when it came to the snooker and his ability to be his own scheduler.

Amongst his other thoughts was that...

...in a red-button world there is no limit to how much sport can be screened. All you need is a camera, and JV [John Virgo].

It's not quite as easy as that. After all, there's no shops which sell John Virgos...

And finally on Twitter, and are amongst those really enjoying the Ashes to Ashes red button 80s singalong which follows the main programme.

So if like me, you were out on Monday and couldn't press red, you might want to pop over to the music section on the Ashes to Ashes website and get dancing along to such classics as Stool Pigeon by Kid Creole, or maybe the classic that is The Lion Sleeps Tonight by Tight Fit.

As TDS_001 says, it's "soooooooooooooooooo funny".
