Talking of databursts, here's a Thames programme from 1984 about sending email. It includes a literal databurst at the end

It was all the rage back then. A couple of ILR stations (Radio West and Signal ?) had programmes (not programs !) about computing, and would incorporate databursts during the show, and more lengthy transmissions overnight after closedown. Even the Beeb got in on the act with Radio 4's 'The Chip Shop' hosted by Barry Norman.
Quite easy back then to make a direct cassette recording from the radio that you then played back into your computer, a bit tricker (but by no means impossible) for TV
