==Mock advertisements== During Teletext's 16-year run, many of its subpages would have adverts inserted on the last page. ''Digitiser'' decided to create their own spoof adverts as a result. One of the most notable was for a fictional German music compilation called ''Rock Meister!'', which included stereotypical German words as in "Rock dir night mit ROCK MEISTER!!", instead of the official "Rock der nacht!" as the advertisement was poking fun of stereotypes made at the German language, alongside stating the compilation is "Musik fur dir LONGHAIRS!". Artists on the compilation were listed as [[Roxette]] (although they came from Sweden) and [[Scorpions (band)|The Scorpions]], while "NOT A REAL GERMAN ADVERT" was placed at the top left of the screen instead of the usual "NOT AN ADVERT". This was done as a viewer contacted Teletext over a previous spoof believing it to be real.{{Citation needed|date=March 2016}}
