| Gadgets & Gizmos | Futafax Fax Machines - The Class of '62 (1991)
Del's Spiel: The Fax Machine of tomorrow - today. Receive faxes from Rome, Torronto, New York and Mike at the Nag's Head.
The Real Deal: They splutter and cough and don't photocopy. But you can always pretend they work when Slater is around. |  Portable Rajah Computers -
The Frog's Legacy (1987)
Del's Spiel: Used in the American Space Shuttle. "It's got RAM, it's got ROM, it's got them, red and green lights, everything!"
The Real Deal: They do work, if you give them a good whack on the side from time to time. |  Russian Video Cameras -
Fatal Extraction (1993)
Del's Spiel: Solid, top-of-the-range, slightly on the wide and hefty side, but it will save you a fortune on using weights and rowing machines down the gym.
The Real Deal: Unless you happen to have a Russian VCR to play the tapes on, and muscles like Geoff Capes, they have very little use. | Red Cycling Helmets - Heroes And Villains (1996)
Del's Spiel: 200 red aerodynamic cycling helmets. They later evolve into TCT (Trotters Crash Turbans) for Sikhs that ride motorbikes.
The Real Deal: Del explains, "some git painted 200 horse-riding crash helmets red". |  Mobile Phone - Karen Lesley Taylor
(Hooky Street winner!)
Del's Spiel: Talk and send text to all your family and friends from anywhere on this futuristic looking mobile phone. It comes with cables and charger. We have a choice of three colours today. As BT says, it's good to talk and I'm telling you for twenty-five quid you can't go wrong.
The Real Deal: Del was landed with fifty mobile phones with all the accessories, but not one comes with a battery. |
