Rest in Peace,

dear old V.H.S video recorder,

your life was one given

in service of those to whom

staying in was an anathema

and the pause button,

for whatever their reason,

be it grainy, dirty or just

frequently needing the loo

during a good film

or quickly taped soap opera

as the promise

of a night out at the pub with no

strings attached became a modern

necessity.

 

Farewell and thank you

for being able to tape Doctor Who
