[livejournal.com profile] commanderteddog told me about a 1987 incident in which a pirate broadcaster took over a Chicago TV station, during an episode of Doctor Who.

And hey, the incident is on Youtube. Warning: Contains buttock.

There's an excellent writeup on this incident on Damn Interesting, "Remember Remember the 22nd of November," as I recall.

I seem to remember that being reported on the news back then. I like the high-tech background which appears to be corrugated aluminum roofing. "A" for creativity...
