"'What's going to happen' asks Professor David Zeltzer, 'when we have (computer) animation of photographic quality?' The prospect of the 43rd, computer-generated, series of Terry and June being made long after the two stars have retired is a prospect that could make us rue the day computers were ever allowed into television But also imagine all of the repercussions if a false computer generated image was broadcast showing Neil Kinnock being punched by Margaret Thatcher, the thought may be amusing but the consequences more than a little troublesome. You'll never know what is genuine television unless you're told. Could you ever believe news again? "
