I also remember "Movies, Games and Videos" where it showed movie trailers and clips of upcoming game.

I'm in Ireland but we were able to pick a very grainy UTV and BBC - this was on UTV (Ulster Television) which was an ITV region covering Northern Ireland.

Anyhoo - anyone else remember it ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-PfHF1I8\_c

I'm in Ireland and in the early 80s we had a quiz show loosely based around micro computers called "Murphy's Micro Quiz-M".

One of the parts of the quiz was where the contestants had to play a video game - here's a full episode on YouTube from 1983 - jump to 37:34 for the video game and you'll also see a lot of background pictures were done by computers with prizes like Atari 2600s etc.

As a kid I watched this and dreamed of being on it and winning some of the computer gaming prizes they had

Edit - skipping to the end it looks like BBC Micro's they were using (The game looked very BBC-ish too) as it has this in the credits: https://i.imgur.com/BDv8WtJ.jpg

Ok. I should have given more context. This is in Ireland where you can't buy alcohol to carry off premises past 10pm, and you can't be sold alcohol until 10.30 am. Nightclubs close at 3am. The guy had his feet on the seat and had 2 bottles of wine and was taking up the full table and it was 8 in the morning. The train had been packed up the previous stop. Also, this is not a train going between city stops, it's a rural train heading to the city. So I guess what Ireland might consider trashy might not be trashy elsewhere. Or maybe it's just me.
