Appearance by hacker in the swedish news and television, 1988-89.

This topic is mainly aimed towards the swedish audience who might know, although i'm aware that there might be other people around here which might know aswell. As you might or might not know, a wellknown swedish C64 user (which we can call Erik XIV) appeared in Datormagazin, the evening newspapers and on the swedish television during the swedish VISA-scandal which basically took place in 1989.

I remember seeing the spot on the telly - but I can't remember what the program was called, nor what the short interview contained - so I have two questions:

1) What was the program? Did he appear at more than one program? Do anybody have a videocapture of this show?

2) In the program, Erik XIV downloaded and ran an intro or a demo on his C64 which I remember beeing impressed by. What was the intro or demo he ran?

Thanks in advance.

So, the Sputnik show was back in 1989 too? In May?

Someone who have the exact date of the Aktuellt clip?

I should be able to remember it myself, since I saw it that evening. But I'm getting old... hehe..

Bump!

If someone knows the year, month and even date of the Aktuellt sending, I would like to know. I have tried to search the archives at work for it, but it would be easier if I knew the date since the possibility to search is limited. I don't want to look through 100 tapes looking for it :-)

Sputnik:

Sometime in May 1989. I believe it was broadcasted weekly, which limits it a maximum of about four shows. That's the place to start. If I remember correctly (can anybody verify this?) the Aktuellt headlines was pretty much a reaction on that show.

Aktuellt:

Somewhere in the end of May. Probably the day after the broadcast of Sputnik.

Great Twoflower! I found it right away! Date: 1989-05-25

Now the hard part remains though. But I'll be back soon! :)

It would be really kick ass to see the segment again!

Something else you can look for is the episode of Barnjournalen when they talked about how dangerous video games were. I know they mentioned Barbarian and showed Commando Lybia, but when it was aired, I have no clue.

If you ALSO can fix all episodes of Bit För Bit, then I'm gonna be your slave forever. ;)

Sleggy, can you search the whole archive and go nuts with copying stuff? Sounds like I need to get a job at SVT.
